Shen Yi found himself at a loss for words in an instant. What he said yesterday was about last night, and what he was saying today was about this period of time.
How long was this period of time referring to?
And what would happen after this period of time had passed?
But Zhouzhou seemed to know who was the real decision-maker, as he reached out to Shen Yi while crying, calling out to him with a look of grievance, "Daddy, Daddy..."
Although his speech was unclear, both Shen Yi and Ye Wanwan knew he was calling out "Daddy."
In the end, Shen Yi couldn’t resist and picked up Zhouzhou. "Forget it, let him sleep with us."
Afterward, Shen Yi carried Zhouzhou back to the bedroom. Perhaps because his request had been met, Zhouzhou’s crying gradually subsided.
Shen Yi placed Zhouzhou on the bed and wiped away his tears with the pad of his finger. "Now, is it okay to sleep with Mommy?"
"Okay," Zhouzhou nodded, answering in a milky voice.
"Keep an eye on him." Shen Yi let go of Zhouzhou, told Ye Wanwan, and then turned to enter the bathroom.
In a little while, he came out with Ye Wanwan’s washcloth and wiped Zhouzhou’s face with it.
"You take a shower first, and I’ll coax Zhouzhou to sleep," Ye Wanwan said.
Shen Yi was reluctant, but he had no choice, and in the end, he could only nod. "Okay."
Shen Yi went to take a shower. By the time he came out, Zhouzhou was already asleep. This time, without Ye Wanwan’s reminder, he was already careful with his movements.
When he had finished getting ready and quietly returned to lie down in bed, Ye Wanwan had already lain down with a happy smile on her face, holding Zhouzhou, ready for rest.
Shen Yi watched for a while, and at last, he said, "Goodnight."
Shen Yi then turned off the light, and the bedroom became completely quiet.
The two families were both extremely happy about Zhouzhou beginning to speak. Even Ye Zhenhua and Shen Yun’an, who were never too excited, made time to come over and see Zhouzhou.
Lin Xu held Zhouzhou in her arms and said softly, "Zhouzhou, I’m Grandma, can you call me Grandma?
Zhouzhou moved his mouth. He wanted to call out, but it seemed the words got stuck, and he looked somewhat bewildered at Lin Xu.
Seeing that Zhouzhou hadn’t been able to speak for quite a while, Lin Xu felt a little deflated, but she knew that Zhouzhou could already call "Mommy" and "Daddy," so she believed that he would be able to call "Grandma" after a little while!
Su Xiangyi also coaxed him for a while, yet Zhouzhou still didn’t call out. It wasn’t until Shen Yun’an took Zhouzhou’s hand, preparing to get Zhouzhou to call him, that before Shen Yun’an could speak, Zhouzhou had already called out first, "Grandpa!"
Zhouzhou’s voice was loud, albeit unclear. After calling out, he immediately threw himself into Shen Yun’an’s arms.
Shen Yun’an quickly responded and picked up Zhouzhou. Even his face, which was usually unsmiling, now bore a smile that creased his face with wrinkles.
Lin Xu and the others were initially stunned, then a twinge of jealousy rose from their hearts. Why did Zhouzhou call Grandpa first?
However, no matter how jealous they were, there was nothing they could do about the fact that Zhouzhou had called out to Grandpa first.
Zhouzhou was becoming more and more lively, not like before when he often sat quietly by himself playing, seemingly indifferent to everyone around him.
The elders were genuinely pleased to see the changes in Zhouzhou.
Shen Yi was also happy. The only one who was not happy was probably Ye Wanwan, because Zhouzhou was still clinging to her all the time, and Shen Yi had completely lost his alone time with Ye Wanwan.
