Since he chose to be human and a man, then he naturally had to keep his word. Under the pressure of Song Tingshenâs eyes, he reluctantly got down from the bed and obediently went back to his room to sleep.
Disregarding whether Song Tingshen had an ulterior motive behind this lecture, Ruan Xia greatly approved of his way of educating children. With Song Tingshen present, she didnât have to worry that Little Wang would go down the wrong path.
Under their joint efforts, Little Wang wouldnât become a villain. Not only that, she believed that he would grow up to be an especially good person. In this, she still had confidence.
They were the only two people left in the room. Lying on the bed, Song Tingshen patted the spot next to him and said to Ruan Xia, âCome here.â
Ruan Xia pointed at her face. âI havenât finished my skincare routine.â
Song Tingshen sighed in helplessness. âYou apply so many layers onto your face every day. Can your skin still breath?â
âYou never apply anything on your face. Youâre not worried your skin is going to dry out?â Ruan Xia retorted. It was one step away from saying Song Tingshenâs skin was like old bark. Okay, she had to admit it. Song Tingshen was in the most enviable group when it came to skin type. Even without any skincare, his skin still looked good.
They were at two extremes. One was conscientious about skincare and didnât dare to omit one step. The other one didnât even use face lotion and used water to clean his face. He didnât spend a cent on skin care.
No matter what, Ruan Xia obediently got into bed after she was done with her skincare.
After thinking about it, Song Tingshen wasnât confident that Little Wang would keep his word. He got up from bed, closed the door, and locked it.
Ruan Xia scolded him, âIs that necessary? You even locked it too.â
What kind of dad was he? Someone that didnât know better would think he was guarding against thieves.
Song Tingshen nodded with conviction. âVery necessary. Little Wang might sneak over later. Heâs done it before.â
Ruan Xia: â...â
A father understood his son the best. They had only laid down and chatted for a bit when there was a sound at the door.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Little Wang was standing on the carpet with bare feet. He reached out to quietly open the door. His parents might already be asleep. He could sneak into bed while they were unaware!
Song Tingshen looked at Ruan Xia and quietly said, âSee?â
Little Wang couldnât open the door, but he didnât dare to wake up his parents. He was only puzzled why the door was locked tonight. He turned around and went back to his room to sleep alone.
Ruan Xia imagined what her son looked like on the other side, and her heart softened. âLet him sleep with us. Heâs still young.â
âNo.â Song Tingshenâs attitude was resolute. âWe canât let him think weâll easily give into his wants. Itâs true that weâll be more tolerant of him as his parents, but other people wonât. If he takes for granted that other people will give into his demands and be just as tolerant as us, then heâll be the most annoying type of person in the world. Moreover, heâs not little anymore. Heâs almost 5 years old. Children of his age should sleep alone to cultivate independence earlier. Thatâll be better for me and you.â
âOkay, okay, everything you say is right.â She was still a novice when it came to educating children. She hadnât been a mom for a while while Song Tingshen had stepped into the role of a dad since Little Wang was born. No matter what angle she looked at it, he knew more than her when it came to raising children.
