"Daddy, hurry up! I want to lie on my own bed, la la la!"
Lu Chen ran ahead, with Lu Zheng following behind.
Lu Zheng had hurt his arm, and Lu Chen felt sorry for him. After taking a shower, he obediently ran out by himself, no longer letting Lu Zheng lift him high.
Lu Chen quickly dashed into the west room, kicked off his shoes, and jumped onto the bed. The new quilt was soft and warm.
The little guy rolled around happily inside. "Daddy, it feels so good!"
"Daddy, I’m a little kid with my own room now."
There were many children in the family compound; each family had at least two kids, and they all slept together or with their parents. None of them had their own room.
At first, Lu Chen didn’t want to sleep separately from Wen Qian and Lu Zheng, but later, when he chatted with his friends, he realized how enviable it was to have his own room.
"Daddy, hurry up and tell Mommy to take a shower! Chen Chen will be good and stay here by himself."
Chen Chen lay obediently under the covers, peeking out with his little head.
When Lu Zheng entered the room, he hadn’t even spoken yet when he saw the woman in front of him suddenly stand up in a flustered manner, looking at him in panic.
"I... I’m going to take a shower," Wen Qian said hurriedly as she grabbed her clothes and dashed away.
Only Lu Zheng remained in the room, staring blankly at her retreating figure. It dawned on him that something was off about her. Was she shy? Her face had been flushed earlier, making her look indescribably cute.
Lu Zheng stepped closer to Lu Chen's bedside. Seeing the little guy's curious gaze, he explained, "Daddy will stay with Chen Chen first; after you fall asleep, Daddy will go."
The little guy’s eyes sparkled with surprise and excitement as he looked at Lu Zheng. Although he wanted his own room and to sleep alone, this was the first time he was separated from his mother, which made him feel a bit scared inside.
But now it was okay! Daddy was here to keep him company; he wasn’t afraid anymore!
"Hehehe!"
"Be good and close your eyes to sleep." Lu Zheng looked helplessly at the excited Lu Chen; he wondered if he should have come over at all.
After he arrived, the little guy became even more excited and couldn’t fall asleep, keeping his eyes wide open to watch him.
"Alright, be good and sleep."
Lu Chen reached out his small hand into Lu Zheng’s palm, tightly gripping his index finger. His little hand was warm and soft.
Lu Zheng's heart raced with excitement!
He listened to the sounds outside, and his mind involuntarily drifted back to the image of Wen Qian from earlier. Wen Qian's condition had improved significantly. Her complexion was no longer waxy yellow; it had returned to a normal skin tone, slightly healthier than average, though still with a hint of yellow. The fatigue that once clouded her face was gone, replaced by a look of vitality and confidence.
She had cut her hair short, trimming away the damaged ends. The style resembled that of the girls from school, making her appear more spirited. Ever since she began teaching at the elementary school, her overall demeanor had become increasingly vibrant. She had even gained some weight, giving her a fuller appearance.
All of this was part of Lu Zheng's plan for her gradual improvement. Even Lu Chen was no longer the timid child he used to be. With his older sister, Wen Yuan Yuan, guiding him, the little guy seemed to have developed a desire to step out of the shadows and take on a more prominent role. He was now willing to express his thoughts and try new things he had never attempted before.
Lu Zheng gently touched the little one's fingers—small and soft. Everything was slowly getting better!
As he watched the little one fall asleep, Lu Zheng carefully withdrew his hand and quietly slipped out, turning off the light and closing the door softly, leaving a small crack open.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking through Wen Qian's books. He took out a pen and began sketching some notes for her while also writing down answers to difficult questions she had marked. Flipping through the pages, he found some problems she had highlighted and wrote down their solutions beside them.
Lu Zheng had gathered some review materials for Wen Qian. Though not extensive, they were practical resources he had collected from bookstores, recycling stations, and friends—carefully selected for her needs. He was meticulously planning for her future.
When Wen Qian returned after taking a shower, she found Lu Zheng engrossed in writing on her books. She dried her hair and sat beside him, watching intently. Initially feeling excited and nervous upon entering the room, she relaxed when she saw him with the book and leaned closer, eager for him to explain some problems.
Lu Zheng was truly clever; with his guidance on difficult concepts, she quickly grasped them. Although he never directly told her how to solve a problem, he patiently led her through it using knowledge points, allowing her to discover how to approach it herself. This way, she not only understood that particular question but also learned about similar types of problems and additional knowledge points.
Sometimes she wondered how Lu Zheng could remember so much after not studying for so many years. Why did he still know so much about her?
Lu Zheng would definitely smile softly, then hide the books in the office even more carefully, ensuring she wouldn’t find out.
After discussing the topic, Wen Qian brushed her already dry hair and suddenly thought of her forgotten son. Feeling guilty, she touched her nose and quietly asked, "Is Chenchen asleep?"
"Yes, he’s asleep. Let’s sleep too!"
"Okay."
Wen Qian agreed verbally but ran towards the outside. She arrived at Lu Chen's room, opened the door, and stepped inside.
Through the light filtering in from outside, she gently touched her son's head, her eyes filled with affection and love.
Chenchen had always been very well-behaved!
Looking at her son’s peaceful sleeping face, Wen Qian felt relieved and slowly closed the door as she headed towards the east room.
Entering her room, she shut the door and made her way to the bed. Lu Zheng was already lying down, taking up the entire bed with his tall frame.
Sometimes, Wen Qian would secretly think that if the bed were a bit shorter, would Lu Zheng's feet dangle off the edge while he slept?
She carefully climbed over him and lay down on her side. The room instantly darkened.
The sound of their breathing was particularly clear, even the rustling of the blankets was distinct.
Wen Qian pretended not to care as she turned over, and the man immediately followed suit, shifting his position.
Suddenly, an arm wrapped around her waist. Wen Qian's breath hitched, her body stiffened as she awkwardly adjusted her breathing.
Lu Zheng leaned closer to her back, resting his head on her shoulder.
In a soft voice, he said, "Sleep now! I’m just holding you."
"Okay!"
Hearing her stiff tone, the man chuckled lightly, nuzzling his head into her neck while his arm around her waist remained gentle and relaxed.
As drowsiness washed over her, Wen Qian's mind went blank, and she gradually fell into a deep sleep. Unbeknownst to her, the arm at her side gradually tightened until they were pressed closely together.
