âYes, always,â Pei Jingzhou said. Yaoyaoâs lips twitched as if he wanted to say something. Pei Jingzhou naturally noticed Yaoyaoâs reaction and asked, âWhat are you trying to say?
Yaoyao pouted and said seriously, âBut my home isnât here.â
Pei Jingzhou told Yaoyao firmly, âItâll always be here.â
Yaoyao did not seem to understand this sentence very well. He thought that he would return to the place where Grandma was soon. He would accompany Grandma every day, sometimes enter and leave the magnificent palace, and sometimes stay in the quiet residence. Day after day, he would live that life.
He was used to it. But at this moment, after Yaoyao heard Pei Jingzhouâs words, a trace of hope uncontrollably ignited in his seemingly calm heart. If only he could really stay here forever. He could see her every day.
He could also seeâ¦
Yaoyao looked up at Pei Jingzhou and said, âYou.â
Pei Jingzhou did not know what Yaoyao was thinking. âI what?â
Yaoyao shook his head and didnât say anything else. He focused on showering. When he was almost done washing, Pei Jingzhou went outside and found a set of Yaoyaoâs clothes. He picked Yaoyao up from the water and rinsed the foam off his body under the showerhead. He dried him and put on clean clothes. Then, Pei Jingzhou personally went to clean up the bedsheets that Yaoyao had wet. Although Yaoyao had found the bathroom in his dream, he woke up in time. Only a small ball of wetness was printed on the bed sheets.
Pei Jingzhou, who rarely dismantled the bed blanket, had no choice but to do it himself. He rolled up his sleeves and dismantled the bed blanket.
Yaoyao watched from the side, his sullen expression looking more or less guilty. Pei Jingzhou placed the dismantled bedsheets aside and found the hairdryer in the drawer. He dried the wet lump on the bed and waited for the smell to dissipate.
Yaoyao pointed at the sheet. âWhat about that?â
Pei Jingzhou said, âThrow it away.â
Yaoyao said, âThatâs not good.â
Pei Jingzhou smiled. âYou know itâs not good.â
Yaoyao: ( ??? )
Pei Jingzhou picked up the bedsheet. âDo you know where the washing machine is after staying here for a few days?â
Yaoyao nodded. âI know.â
Then he turned and walked out. âFollow me.â
Pei Jingzhou smiled and followed.
Li Xiwu made a cake that was about six inches tall today. Without a complete tool, she had made the cake into a square. The appearance and texture of the cake were superb. Boyuan could not control her mouth and ate the entire cake that Li Xiwu had cut off for her.
After eating, she began to regret it. âBecause of my diet, I havenât touched cake and cream in a long time. Iâm craving it today, and my bike will smoke at night.â
Li Xiwu was a woman herself, so she naturally understood that Boyuan was already very thin and still wanted to lose weight.
âItâs fine to eat it once in a while,â Li Xiwu comforted her. âI only eat it once in a while. Itâs mainly because Youyou likes it.â
Boyuan said, âNot only do children like this cake you made, but adults also like it very much, okay? If I had a physique that doesnât get fat, I would have finished showing off the cake as soon as it was ready.â
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. âIâm also envious of this physique, but itâs rare.â
The two of them chatted. The three children opposite were sitting side by side eating cake. There was cream on the tip of Youyouâs nose and cheeks. Little Jingzhe only had a little at the corner of her mouth, and only Yaoyaoâs face was the cleanest.
When the scene changed again, Li Xiwu and Boyuan saw Yaoyao take a tissue and seriously wipe the cream off Youyouâs face.
It was extremely heartwarming.
After interacting with her for the past two days, Boyuan wished that Li Xiwu would stay next door to them. That way, she could see her all the time. Moreover, the children were all in the same kindergarten. They had company when they picked them up.
When it was almost five-thirty, Li Xiwu said that she wanted to go back. Boyuan tried to keep Li Xiwu. Normally, Li Xiwu would have stayed. But Han Qianye would go to Lake Lu tonight, so she had to go back. After explaining the reason, Boyuan expressed her understanding.
Before leaving, Li Xiwu went to find Yaoyao. Probably because he knew that Li n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiwu was leaving, Yaoyao returned to his room alone. When Li Xiwu arrived, Pei Jingzhou had just come out. She asked, âDid you tell Yaoyao?
Pei Jingzhou said, âMhm.â
Li Xiwu said, âIâll talk to him again.â
Pei Jingzhou turned sideways. âHeâs not in a good mood, but think about it another way. The more reluctant he is, the sooner we can take him home.â
Li Xiwu nodded. âYouâre right.â
The deeper their relationship was, the stronger Yaoyaoâs dependence on Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu would become. Until he became more and more inseparable, he hoped that they could meet at all times. That was the day Yaoyao was willing to go home with Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu.
When they returned to Lake Lu, it was a few minutes past six. Traffic during the evening rush hour was a little later than expected. When she opened the door and came in, Auntie Lin hurried over. âMadam, sir, youâre back.â âAnd me~â Youyou, who was in Pei Jingzhouâs arms, waved her hands. Auntie Lin smiled and said, âI saw Youyou a long time ago.â
âHehe ? â Youyou struggled in Pei Jingzhouâs arms. âDaddy, put me down.â âOkay.â Pei Jingzhou bent down and put Youyou down.
Youyou rushed over and pounced on Auntie Lin. She hugged Auntie Lin first.
Auntie Lin leaned over and stroked Youyouâs hair. Youyou smiled happily and
turned around to walk inside to see her little goldfish.
Li Xiwu handed the small bag to Pei Jingzhou. She was about to change her shoes when she saw Auntie Lin looking at her as if she had something to say.
Li Xiwu asked, âWhoâs here?â
Auntie Lin nodded. âMadam and Master are here.â
Although Auntie Lin had never seen Han Qianye in reality, she had seen Han Qianye on television variety shows and knew that she was Li XiWUâS mother-in-law, so she called her Madam.
The man who came with Madam had a similar aura to Pei Jingzhou. He was dignified and should be the head of the Pei family.
When Li Xiwu heard that the two of them were here, she quickly changed her shoes and asked, âAuntie Lin, are there many fresh dishes in the fridge?â
âMadam and Master came half an hour ago. Oh, right, thereâs also a young man. He should be Mr. Peiâs brother. I donât know when youâll be back. Iâve already ordered food from the online supermarket and theyâre on their way here.â
âYouâve worked hard,â Pei Jingzhou said to Auntie Lin.
Auntie Lin said, âItâs my job, but, Sir and Madam, my culinary skills canât cook much decent food.â
Auntie Lin was not an all-round nanny. Her responsibility was to take care of Youyou, do some housework, and buy on time. Previously, when she took care of Youyou, she only made two or three nutritious dishes every day. She really could not cook too many big dishes.
Li Xiwu gestured for Auntie Lin not to worry. âIâll arrange it. Are they all inside now?â
Auntie Lin nodded. âYes, theyâre inside.â
Li Xiwu turned to look at Pei Jingzhou.
Pei Jingzhou had already taken out his cell phone. âLeave the dishes from the supermarket for now. Itâs so late. Iâll order a table of dishes from Qionglou and send them over.â
Li Xiwu smiled. âI think so too.â
In the living room, the first thing Youyou did when she came back was to look at her little goldfish in a hurry. She had to look at them every afternoon. As soon as she ran in, she saw three strangers in the house.
The moment Han Qianye saw Youyou, she stood up excitedly..
