"What’s wrong?" Shen Yi asked in confusion, hadn’t Zhouzhou just fallen asleep? Why did he suddenly wake up, and now looked ready to cry?
Aunt Yang looked apologetically at her master, feeling truly sorry, "The young master suddenly woke up and then insisted on coming over, no matter how I tried to soothe him, it didn’t work."
Aunt Yang was also puzzled, "Zhouzhou has never been before."
Zhouzhou had been brought up by Aunt Yang to sleep in the children’s room from birth; thus, he does not yet have the habit of sleeping with his parents. It was odd for tonight, as he had woken up and just had to find his mother.
Aunt Yang had no choice but to bring the child over to his parents.
Shen Yi looked at Zhouzhou, then reached out to hold him, and he told Aunt Yang, "It’s okay, you go have a rest."
"Alright." Aunt Yang turned and left.
Shen Yi carrying Zhouzhou returned to the bedroom. Zhouzhou took a look around the room, didn’t see the person he was looking for, and then turned to Shen Yi with teary eyes, calling out in a grievous tone, "Mommy, Mommy..."
"Don’t cry, Mommy is taking a bath, she will come out soon," Shen Yi said gently, comforting Zhouzhou, and took some tissues from the bedside table to wipe away his tears.
Thus, when Ye Wanwan finally came out from the bathroom after a leisurely bath, she was surprised to see a big one and a small one sitting on the bed.
"Why is Zhouzhou here?" She had lulled Zhouzhou to sleep before returning to her room, hadn’t she?
"Mommy!" Zhouzhou called out, then started to crawl towards Ye Wanwan with arms and legs flailing.
Shen Yi quickly moved to protect Zhouzhou, preventing him from falling off the bed, "Aunt Yang said he woke up and noticed you were missing, and cried to find you."
Ye Wanwan’s hair was still damp, and before she could dry it, Zhouzhou had already gotten off the bed and hurried to her side, wrapping his arms around her tightly.
"Zhouzhou." Ye Wanwan was somewhere between laughter and tears. Why had he suddenly become so clingy?
Shen Yi also walked over, noticed Ye Wanwan’s damp hair, and negotiated with Zhouzhou, "Is it okay to let Mommy dry her hair first?"
Zhouzhou had been looking at Shen Yi, but hearing this, he quickly turned and clung to Ye Wanwan’s neck, as if he would never let go.
Shen Yi, feeling helpless, asked, "What if Dad dries Mommy’s hair? You won’t be scared, will you?"
Zhouzhou ignored Shen Yi. Ye Wanwan was being hugged so tightly around the neck by Zhouzhou that she almost couldn’t breathe, yet deep down, she was actually very happy.
"I can hold him; it should be fine," Ye Wanwan said, slightly struggling.
Shen Yi nodded, asked Ye Wanwan to sit down at the dressing table, and began to dry her hair.
Zhouzhou indeed wasn’t frightened, and even sat very obediently in Ye Wanwan’s lap.
Afterward, Zhouzhou clung to Ye Wanwan, refusing to go back to his own children’s room to sleep. Having no option, Ye Wanwan let Zhouzhou lie between her and Shen Yi.
It was true that Zhouzhou didn’t want to return to his room, but he was also genuinely sleepy. It didn’t take long after lying down for him to fall asleep.
"Should I take him back?" Shen Yi asked softly.
Ye Wanwan hesitated for a moment, "Let’s not. What if he wakes up again?"
Ye Wanwan then looked at Zhouzhou, couldn’t help but sigh, and said, "This is the first time Zhouzhou is sleeping with me."
Shen Yi looked at Zhouzhou and for some reason, suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
