Unexpectedly, he would respond to him like a typical father-son chat. Lu Sinian was even more energized, changed to a comfortable position and continued, "I need to sleep too, why aren’t you afraid of disturbing me? Besides, isn’t there a couple of guest rooms at home?"
"Because I want to sleep with you tonight!"
"Eew~!" Lu Sinian let out a disdainful sound, but his face was blooming with joy as he cleared his throat and said, "I don’t want to sleep with you. You’re so big, you’ll hog my bed, and my bed isn’t as big as yours!"
"Even if you’re tiny, it doesn’t matter!"
The sound of water kept getting louder, and Lu Sinian was quietly humming a tune, his head swaying side to side.
He amused himself outside for quite a while, suddenly hearing the rushing water abruptly stop. Then he closed his mouth and sat properly on the chair.
Lu Beichen came out wrapped in a towel and saw his son sitting upright, which momentarily stunned him. While drying his hair in the mirror, he said, "You never sit this properly in class, do you?"
Little Bun suddenly realized he was indeed too stiff. He twisted a few times, climbed onto the chair, and leaned over the vanity to look at the mirror.
Looking into the mirror, it didn’t seem so awkward.
He glanced at him and then looked at himself; they indeed looked alike apart from the eyes!
"Oh no! My face got splashed with water!" Little Bun wiped his face, complaining.
Lu Beichen looked at the spot where Little Miss had bitten him and casually asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
"Who... who was staring at you? I was looking at myself!" Little Bun glanced sideways at him, saw him touching the bitten neck, and expressed disdain, shrinking back a bit, "Mr. Lu, do you actually enjoy being bitten by Sister Tongtong, that’s why you’re admiring it?"
"..." Lu Beichen took a deep breath, "I’m only checking if it’s bleeding!"
"Hmph! Who are you kidding! You big weirdo!" After saying that, he slipped off the chair, waggling his little butt towards the room.
Lu Beichen pressed his temples, thinking this kid really went overboard after being given an inch, didn’t he?!
"By the way!" Little Bun suddenly came back, leaning one hand against the wall, striking an important-looking pose, "Where did you and Sister Tongtong go yesterday?"
"Didn’t I say, we were celebrating Qixi! Why do I have to tell you where we went?" Lu Beichen continued drying his hair.
"Why didn’t you celebrate Qixi with us? Do you know I promised Aunt An Lin to go with you, but in the end, I went alone! An’an even asked me, ’Does having Sister Tongtong mean you don’t want me anymore?’ Do you know how embarrassing that was!"
Little Bun’s brows were furrowed low, showing an air of grievance.
"Brother Nian Nian, is it because your dad married a new mom that he doesn’t like you anymore? I saw on TV that new moms are bad!"
Whenever he thinks about how even An’an said this, he feels utterly disgraced.
His eyes glared at Lu Beichen, but Lu Beichen merely responded blandly, "Qixi is Valentine’s Day; naturally, it’s for couples to celebrate. Didn’t An’an invite you to celebrate Valentine’s Day together?"
"What... what nonsense are you talking about?! An’an and I are still kids!" Although he said this, thinking of An’an also inviting classmates, that ignorant boy from the middle class, Lu Sinian got even angrier!
"Knowing you’re a kid, stop worrying so much!" Lu Beichen suddenly went over to hold his hand, leading him to the room, "Why not, next time, I’ll personally take you to meet An’an, how about that?"
Being suddenly held, Lu Sinian clenched his small fist nervously, let himself be led, feeling powerless against his gentle touch, reaching out the other hand, "Then, pinky swear!"
"Since when did you become so childish?!" Lu Beichen was a bit disdainful of his son.
"Hurry!" It’s all because An’an likes doing these!
Every time I write about Nian Nian, I have so many friendly reminders. It’s really not just for fun!
