Qin Qiao'er couldn't help but exclaim, "How do you know where it's placed?"
"Who else should know if I don't?" Zhao Youting gave a soft smile and then continued, "Do you want to go see the two kids first? They should be asleep by now."
As soon as Qin Qiao'er got home, her heart was filled with longing for the two little ones. She couldn't wait to kiss and hug them.
Qin Qiao'er tiptoed into their room and found the two children sleeping soundly. There were red marks on their turned - over side faces from the pillow, looking a bit adorably silly on their fair skin.
Seeing Qin Wanwan, who was so restless during the day, become so well - behaved in sleep, Qin Qiao'er couldn't resist reaching out her finger to poke her soft little cheek and secretly thought in her heart: Little nuisance.
Qin Chenchen was much more obedient in sleep. Just like in the daytime, he just lay there properly. Although his face looked so serious, the quilt on his body had been kicked into a mess.
Qin Qiao'er pulled up Qin Chenchen's quilt, gently tucked his hands and feet back under the quilt, and then the two of them left.
It had been a long time since she last saw these two little guys. After such a long separation, she found that they had really grown healthily. Kids grow fast. Now, after so long, Qin Qiao'er felt that they seemed to have changed a little.
When they walked to the doors of their respective rooms and were about to part ways, Zhao Youting stood in front of his door and just couldn't bring himself to turn the doorknob.
Then he turned to Qin Qiao'er and said, "Well... why don't you sleep with me tonight? Your room hasn't been lived in for so long. I'm afraid the auntie didn't clean it thoroughly. I'll have it cleaned again tomorrow."
By then, Qin Qiao'er had already opened the door. After hearing what Zhao Youting said, she glanced into the room and found that the auntie had cleaned it spotlessly and even made the bed for her.
Qin Qiao'er knew what Zhao Youting meant. Actually, she also wanted to sleep in the same room as Zhao Youting. But hearing his lame excuse, she couldn't help laughing.
"I think the room is quite clean. It must be much better than the environment on the film set. I could endure the environment on the set, let alone at home," Qin Qiao'er pretended not to understand.
Zhao Youting's disappointment was written all over his face. He almost seemed to be wagging his tail and telling Qin Qiao'er how pitiful he was, needing someone to accompany him in sleep.
In fact, Qin Qiao'er had gotten used to the days of falling asleep while talking on the phone with Zhao Youting every night. If she suddenly had to sleep alone in a room, she might really not be used to it.
Zhao Youting was about to enter his room dejectedly. But after he walked in, he found that someone was following him. Qin Qiao'er actually walked in with him.
Qin Qiao'er pretended nothing had happened and looked around. "Well, this place does feel more homey. It's so cold today. It's warmer to sleep with you. I don't want to catch a cold and infect the two kids tomorrow," she said seriously with her own lame excuse. But both of them knew what was going on and just tacitly said nothing.
It wasn't until they lay in bed and Zhao Youting held Qin Qiao'er in his arms that he felt at ease. Only then did he truly feel that he had been with Qin Qiao'er for such a long time.
He had always been a very insecure person. Maybe he would act naughtily sometimes to win Qin Qiao'er's concern, but Qin Qiao'er was always willing to comfort him with her actions.
The two of them had drunk quite a bit of wine at the celebration banquet, so as soon as they lay in bed, they felt sleepy. They didn't even have time to think about anything. Even the amorous thoughts that just emerged were quickly defeated by sleepiness.
After they said good - night to each other, they instantly fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhao Youting woke up groggily. When he felt the empty space beside him, he suddenly sat up straight.
He thought that everything last night had been a hallucination and Qin Qiao'er might not have come back with him. But when he felt the still - warm temperature on the bedside, his rationality gradually returned. He knew that Qin Qiao'er couldn't possibly run away so early in the morning.
When he picked up his phone, he found that it was already quite late, much later than his usual getting - up time. He quickly got up and went downstairs. There he saw Qin Qiao'er and the two kids in the kitchen.
Qin Qiao'er was wearing a white apron, busily making breakfast in the kitchen. The two kids were hopping around her, helping her pass things.
Hearing the noise behind her, Qin Qiao'er knew that Zhao Youting had gotten up. She turned around and gave him a charming smile. "You're up? I thought you must have been quite tired these days, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer.
I turned off your alarm when it rang. Go wash up first. The food will be ready soon."
Zhao Youting didn't say a word. He walked straight up to Qin Qiao'er, bent down, and gently kissed her forehead. "Good morning."
Qin Qiao'er's face flushed immediately. The two kids happened to be standing between Zhao Youting and Qin Qiao'er. They immediately started to make a fuss. "Oh—why don't we get good - morning kisses? Dad Youting is being partial!"
Qin Qiao'er bent down slightly and gently tapped each of their little heads. "Don't talk nonsense. Go sit at the table and get ready for breakfast."
The two kids stuck out their tongues and ran away from between Qin Qiao'er and Zhao Youting.
Qin Qiao'er then looked up at Zhao Youting and said, "You... how could you do such a thing in front of the two kids?"
Zhao Youting looked non -chalant. "What's the big deal? They'll see this kind of thing more often in the future. They should get used to it earlier."
Qin Qiao'er was shocked by Zhao Youting's shamelessness, but she felt sweet inside. If she could think that this would be the scene every morning, it would be really happy.
"O... okay. Go wash up quickly," Qin Qiao'er said as she pushed Zhao Youting out of the kitchen.
