Because of the sudden arrival of Zhouzhou, neither Shen Yi nor Ye Wanwan slept well that night.
After all, Shen Yi was used to sleeping with Ye Wanwan in his arms. Lacking her presence felt uncomfortable, and Ye Wanwan was also accustomed to being held by Shen Yi.
More importantly, since Zhouzhou was so small, they were worried they might accidentally crush him, and as a result, aside from Zhouzhou who slept extremely peacefully, both Shen Yi and Ye Wanwan had a restless night.
The first to wake up in the morning was Zhouzhou, who opened his eyes to see his mom and dad. He was very happy, lying in the middle, looking at his dad for a while and then his mom, laughing joyfully.
Ye Wanwan and Shen Yi hadn’t been sleeping deeply, so when Zhouzhou started moving around in bed, they both quickly awoke.
When Ye Wanwan first opened her eyes, her mind was still a bit groggy, perhaps due to lack of sleep, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
However, the next moment, she heard Zhouzhou’s soft voice calling her, "Mommy."
Although just a second ago she felt a bit of a headache, in the next second, Ye Wanwan was already lifting the corners of her lips, her face breaking into a blissful smile, "Good morning, Zhouzhou."
Zhouzhou suddenly hugged Ye Wanwan and kissed her on the cheek, then shyly buried his little face.
Ye Wanwan felt all her discomfort vanish into thin air, left only with a feeling of utter contentment as she held Zhouzhou.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi was left unattended to the side. Despite his presence, Zhouzhou didn’t see him, Wanwan didn’t see him.
Watching the mother and son snuggle together, Shen Yi felt as if he should not be there at that moment.
Shen Yi silently got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. By the time he returned, the mother and son were still romping on the bed.
Zhouzhou was laughing happily. The sound of a child’s laughter was like the tinkling of silver bells, dispelling the slight sense of being ignored that had lurked in Shen Yi’s heart, and he couldn’t help but smile as well. The relationship between the three of them seemed to have invisibly drawn closer.
"Since we’re all awake, let’s get up and have breakfast." Usually, Zhouzhou would have breakfast with him, while Ye Wanwan tended to sleep a bit later.
Since today they were all awake, it was nice for the family of three to have breakfast together.
Ye Wanwan got up and washed up, with Zhouzhou insisting on following her. In the end, it was Shen Yi, who had changed his clothes, who carried Zhouzhou back to his bedroom to wash up and change.
When Shen Yi was taking Zhouzhou away, the little boy was reluctant, but he couldn’t break free from his dad, so he pouted in a pitiful way.
Shen Yi looked at him somewhat helplessly, "Zhouzhou, a man can’t always cry. Besides, crying won’t help. If you don’t wash and change, Mommy will go downstairs for breakfast soon. Don’t you want to eat?"
Ye Wanwan, inside the bathroom, heard Shen Yi’s voice getting further away and couldn’t help but find it amusing.
He sounded so earnest, as if Zhouzhou could understand his great principles.
At this moment, Ye Wanwan was unaware that she was about to acquire a clingy little one.
By the time she had changed her clothes and came out from the walk-in closet, Shen Yi and Zhouzhou were already waiting outside for her.
"He wants to wait for you," Shen Yi said, resigned.
Zhouzhou called out again in his milky voice, "Mommy."
Ye Wanwan immediately went over to hold Zhouzhou’s little hand, "Let’s go downstairs for breakfast."
"Mm-hmm," Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, very obediently.
