924 I Miss You a Little
Lin Nuan could be heard waking up on the bed. The little one turned around and bounced to the side of the bed, revealing a small head and staring at Lin Nuan. Seeing Lin Nuan open her reddened eyes, Tuan Tuan said in a soft and cute voice, "Mama! You're terrific!"
The little one had an idolizing look in his eyes. His bright and sparkly gaze made one feel happy seeing it first thing in the morning.
Lin Nuan stirred a little and realized that she was treating Fu Huai'an's arm as a pillow. She was a bit embarrassed because the child was present, so she hurriedly sat up and pretended like she didn't see it. She then raised a hand to stroke Tuan Tuan on his head, praising him earnestly, "Our Tuan Tuan is terrific too!"
She wasn't lying. For a kid that wasn't even five to be able to wear clothes, eat, and shower by himself, Lin Nuan truly felt that Tuan Tuan was terrific!
The little one's ears turned red happily at the praise. He raised both hands high and grabbed the hand that was stroking the top of his head, then obediently placed his little face in Lin Nuan's palm, attempting to comfort her.
Looking up, the little one saw that Lin Nuan's eyes had turned even redder. He raised his short legs with much difficulty as he climbed up the bed. His little hands circled Lin Nuan's neck, and he rubbed his chubby little face against hers as he comforted her. "Mama, don't cry. Mama is the best!"
Lin Nuan's heart was about to melt because of Tuan Tuan. She turned her head sideways, kissed the little one on his cheek, and pulled him into her arms. "Mm, Mama won't cry… Mama has Tuan Tuan and Papa! Mama is the most blissful person on earth! And I'll be even more blissful in the future!"
The little one nodded solemnly. "Tuan Tuan too…"
He then added, "Most blissful Tuan Tuan!"
Fu Huai'an, who had already woken up, couldn't resist smiling as he watched the emotional scene between the mother-and-son duo so early in the morning.
…
Because of Ji Yun's passing, Lin Nuan's recording of "Talking with Lin Nuan" had been postponed for a few days, and they had to record it today.
Next, Lin Nuan would be rushing to Morocco. Fang Yan and Miss Xia had arranged two recordings for Lin Nuan. They did so in an attempt to save some time for Lin Nuan so that she wouldn't be tight for time for the next recording.
Luckily, Lin Nuan was experienced by now. Recording one show in the morning and another in the afternoon was an acceptable workload to Lin Nuan. It wasn't as tiring as she had imagined…
By the time she was done recording the second show, Lin Nuan's throat wasn't feeling good, so she cleared her throat.
Tuan Tuan, who was doing a puzzle with Little Candy by the side, looked up when he heard Lin Nuan clearing her throat. He saw Lin Nuan saying something to Miss Xia, looking like her throat was feeling a little awful. Tugging at his collar, the little one thought about it, then got to his feet and bounced towards the water cooler.
Little Candy, who didn't know what was going on, looked in Tuan Tuan's direction and saw Tuan Tuan standing on his tiptoes and taking a disposable cup to retrieve water from the water cooler. He then carefully held the cup and walked towards Lin Nuan, stopping one step from her and calling out in a soft and cute voice, saying, "Mama…"
He raised the water cup high over his head, stretching his neck. He couldn't stand steady, so some water spilled from the cup, making Tuan Tuan narrow his eyes halfway.
The minute Lin Nuan turned around, she saw Tuan Tuan raising the cup up high. Water had splashed out of the paper cup and onto his fair and tender face and hands. The water was reduced to nearly half in the paper cup.
Miss Xia, who had been watching by the side, felt like her heart was about to melt. She hurriedly handed a box of tissues to Lin Nuan. "Aiyah! Your son is way too adorable!"
Lin Nuan smiled and drew two tissues, then squatted down to eye level with Tuan Tuan. She helped Tuan Tuan wipe the water droplets from his face and then took the cup, drinking it down. After, she planted a kiss on Tuan Tuan's little face. "Our Tuan Tuan is really obedient!"
Tuan Tuan put both hands behind his back shyly, feeling an itchy sensation on his little face where Mama had just kissed him. He embarrassedly relieved the itch with a finger. He then couldn't resist rubbing his face with both hands before bouncing away.
Lin Nuan's heart felt warm as she held the cup that Tuan Tuan brought to her. Miss Xia couldn't resist saying, "Both are kids. The one in my relative's house is a brat, the kind that makes one want to thrash him. Whereas your kid is one that brings warmth to your heart, the kind that makes one so touched one yearns to cry!"
Lin Nuan nodded. "Mm, Tuan Tuan is very warm indeed!"
"Your son will be incredible when he grows up! He's good looking and is furthermore a warm guy. There are bound to be plenty of girls chasing after him!" Miss Xia shook the documents in her hands, then continued discussing the next episode's guest and content with Lin Nuan.
Because Lin Nuan would be leaving next week, Miss Xia had already made arrangements with several guests, so there would be two more recordings tomorrow…
"Talking with Lin Nuan" was broadcast once a week. So long as they had four episodes on hand, they wouldn't have to worry about it for at least a month.
"After Heroes" was in Haicheng, and they would start recording in Haicheng the day after tomorrow. Lin Nuan had to keep working until the day before she left for Morocco.
Miss Xia could sense that time was a little tight. Therefore, after the day's recording ended, she roughly went over the program schedule for the next day, as well as the script she prepared for Lin Nuan.
By the time they left the TV station, the skies had darkened in Jinjiang. Lin Nuan didn't feel like moving after returning to the hotel, so she simply called for room service and ate in the dining room of the suite with You Nainai and the two kids.
Because Fu Huai'an wasn't around, You Nainai had to stick by Lin Nuan and protect her. Therefore, she also stayed in the suite, sharing a bedroom with Little Candy.
When Lin Nuan came out of the shower, Tuan Tuan, who said he wanted to wait for her to sleep together, had already fallen sound asleep while hugging the soft blanket.
Lin Nuan laughed lightly and walked over to cover Tuan Tuan with the blankets. Just then, Fu Huai'an called.
That night, Lin Nuan took Tuan Tuan with her and stayed overnight in Jinjiang, mainly because after Lin Nuan left for Morocco, she wouldn't be able to spend time with Tuan Tuan for a long time. Add to that the fact that holidays had started for the kindergarten, and Lin Nuan decided to accompany Tuan Tuan as much as possible while she was in the country. That was why she brought Tuan Tuan along when she came to Jinjiang to work.
After glancing at the sound asleep Tuan Tuan, Lin Nuan put on a jacket and exited the bedroom, putting the call through after she closed the door. "Hello…"
"Done working?" Fu Huai'an's voice was deep.
"Mm, done working. One more day tomorrow. I'll be able to return to Haicheng with Tuan Tuan in the afternoon." It was evident that Lin Nuan missed Fu Huai'an from her words. She sat with one leg crossed on the sofa while hugging a cushion, lowering her gaze and fidgeting with the tassels on the cushion. She sounded a little embarrassed. "I miss you a little…"
"Just a little?" Fu Huai'an asked.
As the slightly raspy and seductive voice entered her ears, Lin Nuan felt her ears turn a little itchy. She switched the phone to another hand, touched her extremely hot ear, and said, "Miss you very much… When I was recording the show today, when we came to the topic of soldiers, my mind was filled with the image of you wearing a camouflage combat uniform! Especially, especially charming!"
"If you like it, we can try it next time…"
Hearing this, Lin Nuan heated up from head to toe!
How was it possible that no matter what she said, Fu Huai'an could link it to such a thing in a serious manner!
