Before Chen Liqing could say the meeting was over, the group left in a rush.
The main problem was that I felt itchy all over. I was searching through all sorts of boxes, not to mention that some places were quite dusty.
Bo Yizhou carried Chaochao upstairs, glanced down at him who was sleeping soundly, frowned slightly, and then decisively shook him awake.
Chaochao stirred her eyes, groggily opening them. Her voice was still sleepy and full of questions, "Father?"
Bo Yizhou showed no remorse for waking him up, and said calmly, "Go take a shower, eat something afterward, and then go back to sleep."
Gu Wancheng didn't go upstairs. Instead, she stayed downstairs with Chu Yi'an and Wen Qifeng to cook. She didn't make anything too complicated because the kids were sleepy, and the sooner they finished cooking, the sooner they could eat.
After waiting a while, Bo Yizhou came down and took his place. " Chaochao is done washing up. Go upstairs and take a shower. I'll do it."
Gu Wancheng was taken aback, looking at his clothes, which he hadn't changed. "Didn't you take a shower?"
Bo Yizhou shook his head. "You wash first, then call Chaochao down for dinner. I'll wash after I've eaten."
After saying that, Bo Yizhou reached out and pushed him out of the kitchen. Before Gu Wancheng could react, he was pushed out of the kitchen.
Drifting back to the room, Chaochao finished his shower, was lying on the bed with his bottom sticking up, his eyes half-closed. Gu Wancheng went over and patted his bottom to straighten him out. After thinking for a moment, to prevent him from falling asleep again later, she took out her phone and played his favorite My Little Pony.
I put my phone next to him before grabbing my clothes to take a shower.
As the My Little Pony theme song started playing, Chaochao suddenly opened her eyes, which sparkled with surprise as she looked at the phone on the bed.
It's My Little Pony!
The drowsiness has at least subsided a bit, and I don't feel as sleepy as before.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, holding his phone, and began watching with great interest.
Zhao Chengyu, who had just come in from outside, was carrying a few washed potatoes. He paused for a moment when he saw Bo Yizhou, then immediately smiled and said, " President Bo, Wancheng gone upstairs?"
Bo Yizhou nodded as he cooked.
" President Bo considerate person." Zhao Chengyu sighed.
Bo Yizhou smirked. "Of course I'll cherish my own wife."
"That's right."
"What's wrong with what?" Anna's voice came from the doorway. The next second, a head poked in, glanced inside, and said, "Go take a shower, I'll take care of the rest."
Zhao Chengyu put down the knife and nodded. "Just cut it into potato shreds." He walked to her side. "I'll go upstairs first."
"Good."
After Zhao Chengyu left, only the two of them remained inside. Anna politely nodded to Bo Yizhou in greeting.
"Mom, is dinner ready?" Xiaolin suddenly ran in and asked.
Anna looked over and saw several heads peeking out from the doorway, stacked one on top of the other. The head at the top blinked and looked at Bo Yizhou: "Father?"
Bo Yizhou looked up and was caught off guard by several pairs of bright eyes. He smiled and said, "We'll have to wait a little longer."
"Okay~"
The kids left dejectedly. Anna covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then slipped a few small cucumbers to Xiaolin to take out.
Xiaolin excitedly ran outside with the little cucumbers, gave one to each of them, and then gathered together to watch My Little Pony.
Anna quickly shredded the potatoes, but she wasn't very good at cooking Chinese food, so Bo Yizhou cooked the dish.
"Kids, go and call your uncles and aunties for dinner." Anna brought out the dishes she had prepared and, seeing the children gathered around, gave them a small task.
Chaochao turned off her phone and immediately ran upstairs.
"Dad, dinner's ready."
"Okay, I'll be right there," Gu Wancheng replied.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they started to feel sleepy. Bo Yizhou scooped up the drowsy Chaochao and carried her upstairs.
Once we got to the room, we tucked him into the blankets, Chaochao instinctively shrank further under the covers.
"Go take a shower." Gu Wancheng handed him his pajamas.
Bo Yizhou took it and nodded.
Watching him walk in, Gu Wancheng changed into her pajamas, lay down on the bed, and scooped up the baby with the milky scent and held him in her arms.
When Bo Yizhou came out, he saw a big boy and a little boy sleeping face to face. The two did not look alike, but they were inexplicably similar.
He carefully got into bed, lay down next to him, and with two soft breaths surrounding his ears, Bo Yizhou slowly closed his eyes.
When Gu Wancheng woke up at 2 PM, no one was beside her.
He sighed softly; he was always the last one.
There wasn't much to do this afternoon, so the kids were playing games in the yard, surrounded by Jian Yue and the others.
Gu Wancheng walked over, "What are you playing?"
"They're playing with 'Statues,' Daddy, do you want to play?" Chaochao asked.
Gu Wancheng shook her head. "I'll just watch you guys play."
Okay.
The children looked at Xiaoxiao and started moving. Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Three, two, one, freeze!"
The cubs stopped moving instantly. Suddenly, a butterfly, which seemed to have flown in from nowhere, landed on Chaochao's nose.
Chaochao stared at the butterfly, her eyes almost turning into cross-eyed stares, but the butterfly remained motionless.
So cute! (Screenshot)
[Haha, Chaochao, stop glaring at me, or you might not be able to come back!]
[Screenshot of Chaochao with cross-eyed eyes.]
Gu Wancheng smiled and took out her phone to capture the scene.
Chaochao got even angrier. Suddenly the butterfly fluttered, and her nose itched. Chaochao couldn't help but sneeze.
" Chaochao has made a move!"
Chaochao puffed out her cheeks and glared at the butterfly that had long since flown far away. "It's all the little butterfly's fault! Otherwise, how could I have been the first to lose?"
Gu Wancheng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Chaochao is the best."
Chaochao gave a haughty snort.
The last one to persevere was Mi Tu, who was nestled in Wen Qifeng's arms, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling; she was clearly very excited.
Still want to play?
"Let's stop playing. What are we going to eat tonight?" Chaochao nestled in Gu Wancheng's arms.
Gu Wancheng patted his back, somewhat lost in thought. Why did this kid always like to lie here and there?
"I don't know either."
"Let's eat hot pot."
"How about we go to town later, buy some groceries, and see if there's anything else we need?"
"Good."
Upon arriving in town, the boy, who hadn't been there for days, was so excited he almost ran off. Gu Wancheng and the others could only helplessly hold him back.
"Dad, there are grapes." Chaochao pointed to a fruit shop where several kinds of grapes and raisins were displayed.
"What does Chaochao want to eat?"
" Uncle Gu, we want to eat too," the other kids immediately said upon hearing this.
"Buy some if you want to eat it," Bo Yizhou said.
I still have some money left over from before, plus a few hundred yuan, so I can buy some fruit for the kids to try.
"Yay! Brother, let's go over there quickly." Tongtong pulled Chu Yi'an and started to walk over.
Chu Yi'an grabbed her arm and said, "Wait, let's wait until there are fewer cars before we go."
The fruit shop is across the street, and with all the traffic now, it's not safe to go there.
"There's a traffic light up ahead, let's cross the street there," Wen Qifeng said, adjusting his glasses.
