Shanshan drank the water and hugged her father’s neck tightly in satisfaction. She was afraid that her father would slip away when she fell asleep. She yawned and wanted to listen to her mother’s bedtime story.

When Shanshan fell asleep, Tong Lu immediately pushed Leng Yejin’s arm away. Leng Yejin snorted coldly. Just as he was about to lay his body on top of Shanshan’s again, Tong Lu turned around and reached for the thermometer on the bedside table. He stopped in his tracks and retracted his hand.

“How many degrees?”

“37 degrees. The fever’s gone.”

Leng Yejin did not have any experience in taking care of children. He heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. Tong Lu, on the other hand, did not dare to let her guard down. She quickly jumped out of bed.

“I’ll go get a basin of warm water for Shanshan to wipe her body.”

The little darling’s fever had subsided and he was sweating. If he did not wipe her body now, she would catch a cold and the virus would take advantage of this and she was afraid that her illness would worsen.

“Can you help me carry Shanshan?”

In the quiet bedroom, the two of them worked together. One of them was in charge of hugging, and the other was in charge of wiping. Occasionally, their eyes would meet. Leng Yejin was calm and collected, but Tong Lu quickly averted her gaze. It was good to have him to share the burden.

Oh my God, she gritted her teeth.

“What are you thinking? “Leng Yejin didn’t miss a single expression on her face. He was curious about why she was biting her lip in frustration.

Tong Lu said emotionally, ” Shanshan used to have hand, foot, and mouth-and-mouth disease. She cried non-stop in the middle of the night, and her fever was very high. I had to take her to the hospital, but we couldn’t get a taxi at all in the middle of the night. We had to walk for half an hour before we finally met a kind private car that took us to the hospital for a walk.

Leng Yejin furrowed his brows and said remorsefully, ” “It’s been hard on you to take care of Shanshan alone for the past four years.”

Tong Lu immediately shook her head. He had misunderstood her. that’s not what I meant. I just want to thank you for taking such good care of Shanshan. She doesn’t even need to go to the hospital because she has a family doctor to treat her.

she’s my niece. I’m closer to her than you are. Do I need you to thank me? ” He didn’t like it when he heard this!

For some reason, Tong Lu furrowed her brows again. She shut her mouth immediately and focused on cleaning the child’s body and checking his hands and feet. Fortunately, there were no rashes.

She did not plan to get back into the bed after she got out of it. Unfortunately, it did not seem to be that easy. A few minutes later, Leng Yejin noticed it and carried her to the bed without a second word.

Their faces were so close that every breath he took could blow her face.

Tong Lu’s face was burning. She did not know how to react. She could only lower her head and focus on Shanshan.

Even though the little darling was fast asleep, he subconsciously hugged Leng Yejin tightly. Her heart ached for some reason when she saw how little he was.

“Shanshan has always been like this. When she’s sick, she’ll cry and ask me for her father. In the past, I couldn’t give her father, so I would give her a photo of her father. She would stick the photo in her arms.”

This was the first time that she had cried for a father. She had called a living father for her child who could let her fall asleep with a sweet smile.

“What about you? what do you want the most when you’re sick?”

uh, hehe. she did not answer and subconsciously clenched the jade pendant around her neck. When she was sick, she only wanted to hold the jade pendant tightly, as if holding it tightly would make her mother accompany her, so she especially understood Shanshan’s little thoughts.

Leng Yejin waited for a long time but did not get an answer. He unconsciously took a short nap. When he woke up again, he realized that she had not fallen asleep. She was sitting at the head of the bed, reading a book.

“Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” Leng Yejin’s voice sank.

“You go to sleep.” She had to take care of the child. What if something happened to the child when she fell asleep? “I’m not sleepy,” Tong Lu said, yawning.
