The little guy had just finished the treatment. He was probably a little sleepy and tired. He lay in Ruan Xingwan's arms and fell asleep after a while.
Ruan Xingwan hugged him gently and asked Zhou Cishen: "Did you answer the phone for so long? What happened?"
Zhou Cishen casually put his arm on the bench behind her and said calmly: "Lin Nan is calling. There is news about Daniel."
"It's...what?"
"It's a bit complicated. If you're interested, I'll wait for him to explain it to you later."
Ruan Xingwan pouted, thought for a moment and then said: "Then is he in Nancheng now, or has he left?"
"He's in Nancheng, but it will take some time to find clues about him."
Ruan Xingwan said "Oh": "I know."
The little guy had been lying on Ruan Xingwan's right shoulder. Her arm was a little numb, so she moved, trying to change her position.
Seeing this, Zhou Cishen directly took the child over: "I'll hold it."
Ruan Xingwan looked at the little guy lying in his arms, his little face was pink as he slept, and he looked particularly harmonious.
She raised the corners of her lips and focused her eyes on the little guy's face: "He has grown up a lot in the past few months."
Zhou Cishen said: "Really? I think it's okay."
Ruan Xingwan was too lazy to pay attention to him, took the child back, stood up and walked into the house: "I'll put him on the bed so he can sleep more comfortably."
Zhou Cishen flicked the folds of his clothes and followed her.
After entering the house, the servant took them to the room on the second floor.
This should be the place where Xu Yue lives. There is a crib next to the bed, and there are mats on the floor for the baby to crawl on, as well as things to assist walking.
Ruan Xingwan put the little guy in the crib and covered his belly, then sat next to him and stayed with him, reluctant to take his eyes away from him.
After Zhou Cishen looked at the door for a while, he turned and went downstairs to the kitchen.
Xu Yue was picking vegetables. When she saw him coming down, she asked, "Is the child asleep?"
Zhou Cishen sat opposite her and hummed: "Ruan Xingwan is with me."
Xu Yue said: "Xiao Ruan and the child have been separated for too long. No mother can accept it. Although Xiao Ruan didn't say it, he couldn't control his sadness."
"I know."
"What are your plans next?"
Zhou Ci was silent for a few seconds: "Jiangzhou is no longer safe."
Xu Yue understood what he meant and continued: "Nancheng is probably no better than Jiangzhou."
Zhou Cishen didn't answer, and pursed his thin lips slightly.
"I thought these things would end after Zhong Xian died, but now it seems that this is just the beginning."
After a long time, Zhou Cishen said: "It will be over."
Xu Yue sighed: "It's a pain for the child."
After a while, Xu Yue asked again: "Has the date of the old man's funeral been decided?"
"the day after tomorrow."
Xu Yue said: "After all, I am no longer a member of the Jiang family. I will not go to the funeral to avoid unnecessary disputes."
Zhou Cishen said: "Jiang Shanghan said that as long as you are willing to return to the Jiang family, you can do so at any time."
Xu Yue shook her head and smiled: "No need, it was my choice.
What's more, after so many years, your grandpa has passed away, and it doesn't matter whether you can go back or not."
"Then do you regret it?"
"I have nothing to regret. The only thing I feel guilty about is..."
Zhou Cishen said calmly: "It's all in the past."
Xu Yue looked at him: "It would be best if you can let it go. This matter is not your grandpa's fault. Don't blame him."
…
The little guy has reached the age where he loves to move and run. After dinner, he pulled Ruan Xingwan and ran towards the garden. Although he walked staggeringly and fell three times with every step, he didn't care about walking.
It seems to always be full of enthusiasm and freshness.
By the time he was tired from playing, it was already half past nine in the evening.
Ruan Xingwan hugged the little guy and went into the bathroom to take a bath.
The little guy sat in the bathtub, completely naked, picked up the little duck floating in the water and said to Ruan Xingwan: "Duck duck~"
Ruan Xingwan tapped his nose gently, smiled and picked up another small toy in the tub: "Where's this one?"
"Pig~"
Ruan Xingwan said again: "Baby, do you like ducks or pigs?"
The little guy took one in one hand, finally raised his right hand and narrowed his eyes: "Duck duck!"
After Ruan Xingwan finished bathing him, she realized that the bath towel was left outside and had not been brought in. She turned her head and shouted: "Zhou Cishen, give me the bath towel."
Soon, Zhou Cishen walked in with a bath towel and put it on the little guy.
Ruan Xingwan couldn't help but frown: "Be gentle."
When she pulled the bath towel off the little guy's head, he giggled as if he had discovered some new world.
Ruan Xingwan covered the bath towel again and pulled it down.
The little guy smiled more and more happily every time. It seemed that he liked playing like this very much.
But he was still naked. Ruan Xingwan was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he didn't play with him for too long. He quickly dried the water on him, put on his clothes and carried him back to the bedroom.
After the little guy got to the bed, he seemed to be energetic again. He crawled all over the bed, finally pulled up his clothes, barely covered half of his face, pulled them down again, and smiled at Ruan Xingwan.
Ruan Xingwan received the message he sent, but she had just bathed the little one and was covered in sweat.
She turned her head and looked at the initiator: "You come and play with him, and I'll take a bath."
Zhou Cishen said: "What are you doing when you go to bed?"
Even though he said this, he still walked over with long legs.
Ruan Xingwan's last request to Zhou Cishen: "Don't make him cry."
When Zhou Cishen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice and said, "I only make you cry."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
There is something wrong with him!!!
Zhou Cishen's lips curled up slightly and he sat next to the little guy.
As soon as the little guy saw him, he immediately turned around, pointed his butt towards him, and crawled away quickly.
Ruan Xingwan took his pajamas from the suitcase and prepared to make a quick decision.
When taking a bath, she was worried that Zhou Cishen would bully the little guy, so she washed her hands very sloppily and left the bathroom in two or three minutes.
However, what she feared did not happen.
Zhou Cishen was sitting on the ground, using a corner of the quilt, expressionlessly playing the boring game he had just arrived with the little guy, his movements repeating themselves mechanically.
This scene is full of awkwardness, no matter how you look at it, it’s funny.
Ruan Xingwan walked over, picked up the little guy, and suppressed a smile: "Okay, you go take a bath, I'll coax him to sleep."
Zhou Cishen stood up and said, "He sleeps here?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "I don't know if he will make trouble at night. Let's try it first. Aunt Xu said that if he cries in the middle of the night, she will carry him over."
Zhou Cishen paused, then suddenly came closer and said, "If he cries in the middle of the night, it probably has nothing to do with me."
