In her last life, she never cared about Zhouzhou, so she never knew that there was a time when Zhouzhou actually wanted a little sister.
Maybe it was because he was always alone—he must have felt very lonely.
But in this life, she had taken good care of Zhouzhou, playing with him, and even Shen Yi had made a point to set aside time to spend with him.
Zhouzhou also had Xiao Yu as a good friend. Although they didn’t see each other often, Ye Wanwan knew that Zhouzhou and Xiao Yu had a great relationship.
And all these were things that Zhouzhou never had in his last life!
If Zhouzhou felt lonely now, what about the Zhouzhou of his last life who had nothing?
In this family, the only one who truly accompanied Zhouzhou seemed to be Taozhi.
After Taozhi left, that must have been when Zhouzhou was hit the hardest.
At the time, she couldn’t even understand why Zhouzhou would be so pained over the loss of a cat.
Ye Wanwan took a deep breath, stopping herself from thinking about these things; otherwise, it was easy to fall into a vicious cycle.
Fortunately, Shen Yi soon came out of the bathroom with Zhouzhou. Seeing Ye Wanwan, Zhouzhou softly called out, "Mommy."
Ye Wanwan’s face lit up with a smile as she stood up from the bed, "Zhouzhou, after your bath, it’s time to sleep."
Zhouzhou obediently nodded his head and walked towards Ye Wanwan. Reaching the bed, he took off his shoes and climbed into his own little bed to lie down.
Ye Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly surprised. This was Zhouzhou’s own bedroom, and now he was lying in his own bed—was he planning not to sleep with them?
Ye Wanwan turned to glance at Shen Yi. Shen Yi smiled back at her, seemingly with a hint of smugness, "I’ll go take a shower first, you tell Zhouzhou a story."
Shen Yi had gotten a little wet while bathing Zhouzhou and decided to head to their bedroom to shower first.
"Goodnight, Zhouzhou," Shen Yi said.
Zhouzhou propped up his little head from the bed and said in a milky voice, "Goodnight, Daddy."
Once Shen Yi had left, Ye Wanwan picked up a storybook from the nightstand, "Okay, Zhouzhou, lie down, Mommy is going to start telling the story."
Zhouzhou quickly settled down.
After reading for about ten minutes, Zhouzhou had already fallen deep asleep.
Once Zhouzhou was asleep, Ye Wanwan put the book down and tiptoed out of the children’s room.
When she returned to their bedroom, Shen Yi had just finished showering and asked casually, "Is Zhouzhou asleep?"
"Mhm," Ye Wanwan responded, then asked, "How did you convince Zhouzhou to sleep by himself?"
"He brought it up himself," Shen Yi said, his face calm.
"He brought it up himself?" Ye Wanwan frowned, suspiciously eyeing Shen Yi, wondering to herself what kind of nonsense he was spouting!
However, Shen Yi seriously nodded, "Mhm, Zhouzhou brought it up by himself."
"Why would he suddenly want to sleep alone?" Ye Wanwan felt Shen Yi had no reason to lie to her, but Zhouzhou hadn’t wanted to sleep by himself just yesterday, so why was he willing today?
At this point, Shen Yi looked at Ye Wanwan, almost not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The reason he heard at that time made him feel quite helpless too.
Seeing Shen Yi playing coy by remaining silent, Ye Wanwan quickly urged, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Shen Yi looked at Ye Wanwan and said earnestly, "Zhouzhou’s classmate, Xu Kaiyang, told him, ’If you want your mom and dad to give you a little sister, you can’t sleep with them anymore!’
