The little boy An was taken out of the cubicle by his mother, who was bathed and fragrant. When he saw his father sitting on the stool, he immediately stretched out his hand for his father to hug him: "Dad..." Song Heng wanted to hug him, but he thought of himself After standing at the city gate for so long, his body was covered with wind and sand, and his son was washed clean. However, he stopped hugging him because his son was soiled again.
"Dad, you are dirty. I will hug you later."
Xiao Zi'an pursed his lips and said "Oh".
After a while, Xiao Jiang said that the hot water was ready.
Hui'er went to the cubicle to drain the water in the tub, Xiaojiang filled the tub with water, and Song Heng went into the cubicle to take a bath.
It was still early, and Shen Wan was holding Zian on the bed, covering him with a quilt and telling him the story of the three little pigs.
He listened with his mouth open and his little head raised. When Shen Wan imitated howling like a wolf, he would follow suit.
Song Heng walked out of the cubicle in his underwear, with steam still coming from his head.
Shen Wan just finished telling the story. Seeing how little he was wearing, she asked, "Aren't you cold?"
It was winter now, so he went out wearing a jacket and was not afraid of catching a cold.
Song Heng shook his head: "It's not cold."
Not only was it not cold, he felt a little hot! He walked to the bedside, took his son over from Shen Wan's arms, and kissed his son's white and tender face twice.
He had already shaved when he took a shower, so Zi An didn't mention shaving this time.
He hugged his son for a while, then put on his coat and started wiping his hair. Shen Wan hugged the boy and sat on the bed and watched him wiping his hair.
After he finished wiping his hair, he took off his coat and walked to the bed.
"Wait..." Seeing that he was about to go to bed, Shen Wan made two pause gestures.
"You sleep here too?"
"if not?"
Song Heng asked, this is his bedroom, where would he sleep if he didn't sleep here?
Shen Wan pointed to the outer room, and Song Heng said: "There is no bed in the outer room."
There seemed to be no bed in the outside room. Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, "Then you can sleep in the study room."
He used to like sleeping in the study room.
"This place is no better than the General's Mansion in the Imperial City. There is no bed in the study. Besides, it's not like we have never slept in the same bed."
With that said, Song Heng opened the quilt and got into bed.
"..." Shen Wan was speechless for a moment. They had slept on the same bed before, but that was different from now.
"Daddy..." The boy An was obviously a little excited as he slept with his father for the first time. He patted his father's bronze face with his little hands.
Song Heng took him into his arms, looked at Shen Wan and said, "Go to sleep!"
Shen Wan glanced at her, lay down and covered herself with the quilt.
Children are afraid of the dark. After the son in his arms fell asleep, Song Heng flicked out the candles on the candlestick with his fingers.
After the candles went out, Shen Wan fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up the next day, it was already bright. There was no one in Song Heng's bed. Only the boy who had woken up was sitting on the bed and looking at her.
Shen Wan sat up and stretched before holding her son in her arms.
"When did An An wake up?
Why didn’t you wake up my mother?”
The boy An mumbled a string of words that Shen Wan couldn't understand. When Hui'er heard the voices in the room, she knew that the lady was awake and went to the kitchen to get hot water.
After Shen Wan dressed herself and Xiao An, Hui'er came in with hot water.
Shen Wan washed Xiao Zi'an's face, then washed her own face, cleaned her teeth with salt, and put some facial oil on her and Xiao An's faces.
The weather here in the north is very dry, and it would be unbearable if you don't apply facial oil on your face.
