Yin Shixiu was angry with Su Xiaong at the mont, but naturally wouldn’t take it out on the kids. He patted Prince Huang’s head,
"Okay."
The bed in the children’s room wasn’t big at all. If Yin Shixiu slept there, he’d probably have to curl up his legs all night.
With her husband’s response, Xiao ng felt completely stifled. It seed... she’d really have to endure a lonely night.
Tonight was Lily’s turn to stay over, but upon seeing how the house wasn’t as harmonious and cozy as usual, she imdiately wanted to switch shifts with Claire.
However, whatever Lily could think of, Claire had already anticipated, so she slipped away early.
After Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaong finished dinner, Lily cleared the tableware and then joined Su Xiaong in preparing Shuangshuang and Huang Huang for bed.
Having finished his bath, Prince Huang saw Lily holding a very ordinary little pajama set and imdiately shook his head. He didn’t want that.
Lily didn’t know which one he wanted either. Usually, the young master was easy to please and would wear whatever was given to him.
But now he was being picky.
Before Lily could figure out Prince Huang’s aning and ask, he ran out of the bathroom, stark naked.
Xiao ng had just dressed Shuangshuang when she bumped into Prince Huang running out naked. She was startled!
"Huang Huang?"
Xiao ng quickly grabbed a large bath towel and wrapped the little guy in it, afraid he might catch a chill.
Prince Huang hugged his mom’s neck and muttered,
"Long Long..."
Su Xiaong laughed, "You want to dress like a little dragon?"
Prince Huang nodded seriously.
The "little dragon" was a plush pajama set she’d bought with Yin Shixiu for him, complete with a dinosaur hat, body, and tail.
Prince Huang adored it but usually couldn’t bear to wear it.
Xiao ng took it from the wardrobe and helped him put it on.
Once dressed, the usually expressionless Prince Huang put on the dinosaur hat and imdiately ran to the living room, causing a commotion!
No one knew what had him so excited.
Shuangshuang also had a cute pink bunny plush pajama set.
But this ti, Shuangshuang didn’t follow her brother’s lead; she just held her pillow, stood on the bed, and looked at her mom,
"Dad is sleeping here?"
Xiao ng hesitantly nodded.
Shuangshuang grinned, hugged Xiao ng’s neck, "Then mom is Shuangshuang’s!"
"..."
Xiao ng was stunned for a mont but quickly laughed, patting the little girl’s back,
"Okay, mom is Shuangshuang’s."
So, Xiao ng carried Shuangshuang back to the bedroom.
She knew Yin Shixiu was busy in the study, but who knew how late he would work...
She paused outside the study door for a mont, and just then, the door opened. Yin Shixiu ca out and saw Xiao ng holding Shuangshuang, heading to the master bedroom. His eyebrows furrowed again.
Xiao ng took Yin Shixiu’s words at the dinner table seriously and said,
"Tonight, you should go to the children’s room and sleep with Huang Huang... Shuangshuang will sleep with in the master bedroom."
She thought this arrangent was fair. Otherwise, sleeping alone in the master bedroom would be overwhelmingly lonely and cold.
Yin Shixiu didn’t respond and went straight to the master bedroom.
Xiao ng felt uncertain and followed him into the master bedroom. Once Shuangshuang was on the big bed, she started bouncing!
As she jumped, she chanted,
"Oh! Sleeping with mom! Dad’s been driven away!"
"..."
Kids speak without filters, kids speak without filters...
Although she thought this, listening to her daughter’s innocent words, Su Xiaong’s heart felt colder and colder.
She sneakily glanced at Yin Shixiu, who was holding bedding, his face looking rather grim.
"Shixiu..."
As Yin Shixiu grasped the doorknob, Xiao ng still called out to him.
"Isn’t the bed in the children’s room too small?"
The implication was actually that he shouldn’t go sleep there!
Yin Shixiu took a deep breath, and as he opened the door just a crack, a little dinosaur squeezed through, holding a small pillow...
"Dad... good night!"
The little dinosaur said, then dashed to the big bed, tossed the pillow, and started climbing!
"Brother!"
Seeing her brother struggling to climb, Shuangshuang reached out to help.
The sibling duo helping each other created such a loving scene that, at that mont, felt piercingly obvious to Yin Shixiu.
Xiao ng exclaid in surprise, asking Prince Huang,
"Weren’t you going to sleep with dad?"
Prince Huang blinked, tugging his dinosaur tail and bouncing on the big bed with Shuangshuang!
He completely ignored Su Xiaong’s question.
Xiao ng glanced back at Yin Shixiu... but her husband had already left the room.
For so reason, Xiao ng imagined her husband feeling utterly dejected... Even though she’d never seen him like that, it was hard to imagine.
She sighed softly.
Watching the siblings bounce and jump on the bed, she wondered whose carefree and non-observant nature they inherited?
After so thought, Xiao ng decided to bla her father back in Beijing!
That night, Xiao ng stayed up very late.
The siblings clung to her from both sides, and before sleeping, Prince Huang said sothing very seriously to Xiao ng,
"Mom, Long Long will protect you."
After that, he snuggled into her arms. Xiao ng’s eyes welled up, almost tearing up.
She lowered her head, kissed Prince Huang, then kissed Shuangshuang.
Perhaps the two of them... indeed needed so ti to cool off.
He had his opinions, and she had her stance, so it wasn’t fair to expect her partner to completely agree with her in every way.
Xiao ng opened her mind; she believed her husband, who was wiser and more mature than anyone, would understand things clearly.
After Shuangshuang and Huang Huang fell asleep, Xiao ng secretly played with her phone for a while, browsing the campus forum.
Shen Dawei’s issue, just like at the beginning of the sester, was pinned to the top of the forum, with the number of views, replies, and discussions continuously increasing.
Due to Shen Dawei’s situation, her na was also ntioned...
But this ti, as a victim...
On the internet, there were still more people attacking Shen Dawei. Xiao ng flipped through a few pages, thought about it, and still decided to write sothing to post online.
Everyone has tis when they’re feeling down and distressed. We are all classmates, so let’s show a bit more kindness.
A sentence that could easily be drowned in the crowd’s ridicule suddenly got highlighted.
Xiao ng saw the userna and smiled lightly; it was Qin Hui.
Later that night, the school posted a ssage, and after reading it, Xiao ng felt relieved.
Clearly, the school had also issued a review, with more words of comfort directed at Shen Dawei.
Xiao ng hadn’t expected the school to so openly take responsibility.
She thought most schools would try to distance themselves in such situations, best shifting the bla onto the student’s poor emotional regulation.
Xiao ng speculated whether Cherry played a role, so she sent a ssage to Cherry, but never received a reply.
Instead, Qin Hui, after seeing Su Xiaong’s post on the forum, imdiately DM-ed her on Twitter...
Qin Hui ntioned two things. The first was that she had caught Eric.
Though Xiao ng had known from the start that Qin Hui liked Eric and was pursuing him, she was still a bit surprised when Xiao Hui actually caught him.
This was really fast!
Imrsed in the bliss of romance, Qin Hui totally ignored the fact that Su Xiaong was struggling with marital discord and finding it hard to sleep.
She rambled on, sharing every little detail about getting together with Eric with Xiao ng.
Xiao ng congratulated them.
But she really wanted to share this with Yin Shixiu...
The second thing...
The school’s reason for assigning bla to itself in the post was Eric’s suggestion.
Xiao ng hadn’t expected Eric to be so kind-hearted...
So while chatting with Qin Hui, she also ssaged Eric, congratulating him on finding a great girl.
She also expressed her admiration and appreciation for Eric’s wise decision!
"Aren’t you just trying to take advantage and sell the waterlon?"
Unexpectedly, Eric replied to her like this.
"Dot dot dot dot dot dot dot!"
"Arthur called and told to handle it this way, saying you’d care... Do you think I’d disregard the school’s reputation for a teen boy? You know how much persuasion it took for to get the school board to agree to that post! By the way... What’s your relationship with that guy? Why do you care about his fate?"
"..."
Xiao ng’s heart tightened. She stared at the phone screen as her vision slowly blurred.
