Zhouzhou obediently moved closer to Shen Yi and finally planted a kiss on his cheek.
After the kiss, he felt shy and quickly turned around to hug Ye Wanwan’s neck, burying his little face in her shoulder.
Eventually, Ye Wanwan carried Zhouzhou back to the bedroom. Shen Yi hadn’t bathed yet and went to take a shower upon returning to the bedroom.
Ye Wanwan played with Zhouzhou on the bed for a while before getting him to lie down and started telling him a story, coaxing him to sleep.
Although she was happy to sleep with Zhouzhou, it was indeed time for him to go to bed, so Ye Wanwan coaxed him to prevent disrupting his sleep schedule.
When Shen Yi came out of the bathroom, Zhouzhou had already fallen asleep. Hearing some noise, Ye Wanwan quickly turned her head and gestured a "shush" to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi instinctively slowed his steps, then saw Zhouzhou lying asleep in the middle of the bed.
Afterward, Shen Yi did everything gingerly, afraid of waking Zhouzhou.
When he lay down in bed, Shen Yi wanted to wrap his arms around Ye Wanwan, but with Zhouzhou in the middle, he clearly couldn’t do anything.
Shen Yi thought to himself, well, it’s just for one night.
However, Shen Yi didn’t anticipate that the next night, when Ye Wanwan went to take a shower, he was in the children’s room trying to put Zhouzhou to sleep. Zhouzhou just stared at him with wide eyes, the two of them looking at each other.
Shen Yi’s expression darkened, but Zhouzhou seemed oblivious to the adult’s demeanor, still gazing at him with bright, wide-open eyes.
At this moment, Zhouzhou appeared to be very spirited, showing no intention of falling asleep at all.
"It’s time for you to sleep," Shen Yi said in a stern voice.
Hearing the word "sleep," Zhouzhou pointed towards the door and then said to Shen Yi, "Mommy."
Shen Yi continued, "You’re already two years old, you should sleep by yourself."
"Mommy!" Zhouzhou said defiantly.
"You can’t sleep with Mommy tonight," Shen Yi insisted.
Zhouzhou seemed to understand what Shen Yi meant, his lips puckered, eyebrows furrowed, and immediately he looked as though he was about to cry.
Shen Yi felt somewhat helpless looking at Zhouzhou; in the past, Zhouzhou never threw tantrums , which worried both him and Ye Wanwan internally.
But now that Zhouzhou was starting to be temperamental like other kids, Shen Yi felt he was getting temperamental as well.
During their stare-down, Zhouzhou’s eyes became red, with tears brimming, as if they were about to fall any second.
"Zhouzhou," Shen Yi’s tone was somewhat stern as he spoke, believing that children shouldn’t always be indulged.
But no sooner had he begun to speak than Zhouzhou burst into tears with a loud "waah," the sound filling the entire children’s room.
Tears streamed down like they cost nothing; Zhouzhou reached out to Shen Yi, crying and calling out, "Daddy..."
Perhaps because Shen Yi rarely saw Zhouzhou cry, the child’s tears, as he reached out his hands calling him "Daddy," left Shen Yi completely helpless.
He picked up Zhouzhou into his arms, gently patting his back, while soothing him, "Alright, no more crying."
By this time, Ye Wanwan had already heard the crying and rushed over, not knowing what had happened, her expression very serious. Shen Yi had to explain the situation to her and asked her not to be so tense.
After Ye Wanwan listened, she took Zhouzhou from Shen Yi’s arms, "How about he sleeps with us for a
