Li Qingzhou and Li Xusheng being able to stay at the Xia Residence made Xia Yijun the happiest.
Hugging his little friend excitedly, he shouted, âShengsheng, Shengsheng, weâre going to sleep together tonight!â
Li Xusheng also hugged him back happily, âEn!â
Zhong Lan enjoyed cooking herself.
Usually before dinner, the nanny would leave and at this time, Xia Xinjian would have come out of his study and Xia Cenze would have returned home from work.
Hence Zhong Lan went to the kitchen to cook, with Xu Shan helping her.
Making a call to his little sister Li Hanyu, Li Qingzhou informed her that he wouldnât be home tonight and reminded her to lock the doors and windows and to cover herself well with a quilt when going to bed.
Li Hanyu in turn told him not to worry.
The two chatted for a while before ending the call.
Zhong Lan, who happened to see Li Qingzhou on the phone sighed to Liu Bohuai, âI didnât expect Qingzhou to look cold and silent but be so considerate towards his family.â
Actually, just by seeing the overflowing love and affection he had for Li Xusheng, one could tell that he was a really good big brother.
Liu Bohuai made an agreeing sound in response.
After she finished saying this, Zhong Lan went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Liu Bohuai walked over to the two children and crouched downâ at this moment, Li Xusheng and Xia Yijun were both sitting on a soft blanket, playing with building blocks.
Seeing him approach, Xia Yijun lifted his little head and asked with a puzzled expression, âUncle, whatâs wrong?â
Liu Bohuai first rubbed Xia Yijunâs little head, then rubbed Li Xushengâs and told them, âQingzhou has had a full day of work discussions today, so donât disturb him tonight.â
âEspecially you, Xia Yijun. Donât ask your Big Brother Li to tell stories or put you to bed, alright?â
Li Xusheng, holding a building block nodded immediately, âBig Brother should rest well.â
Xia Yijun also responded, âGot it, Uncle.â
After saying this, he pulled Li Xusheng to the side and whispered, âItâs alright, I can ask my mom to tell the story.â
âTonight, weâll listen to the story of the evil dragon saving the brave warriorâ¦â
Liu Bohuai stood up.
Just then, Li Qingzhou finished his call and came over in his wheelchair.
During dinner, at the dining table, Liu Bohuai and Li Qingzhou accompanied the two elders, Xia Xinjian and Xia Cenze, in a round of drinks.
Afterwards, Xu Shan led the two children to their room to rest.
Liu Bohuai had a fixed room at the Xia Residence.
The guest room that was chosen for Li Qingzhou was next to Liu Bohuaiâs. It had already been cleaned and prepared, with brand new, dry and warm bedding.
He entered the room in his wheelchair.
Shortly after, Liu Bohuai entered the room with a whole set of pajamas and closed the door behind him.
And placing the pajamas at the foot of the bed, he said, âThe only pajamas at the Xia Residence are the ones Iâve worn.â
Li Qingzhou replied, âItâs okay.â
[I donât mind at all.]
He maneuvered his wheelchair to the foot of the bed and was about to reach out to touch the pajamas,
However who knew that Liu Bohuai would place his hand on the armrest of Li Qingzhouâs wheelchair and lean forward, his hair falling and brushing against Li Qingzhouâs cheek as he stopped near his earâ
Sniffing lightly at Li Qingzhouâs neck, he said in a deep voice, âQingzhou, you smell a little like alcohol. Go take a shower.â
[Huh, I do?!]
âThe little guy in the bubble stretched out his chubby arms in front of his eyes immediately, sniffing left and right, his little nose wrinkling up.
Tilting his head slightly, Li Qingzhou was puzzled as he said hesitantly, âI do? How come I donât smell itâ¦.â
After all heâd only had two glasses of alcohol.
Standing up, Liu Bohuai affirmed, âYou do. Itâs just that since itâs on you, you yourself wonât be able to smell it.â
âTake a shower and change your clothes, so youâll feel more comfortable when you sleep.â
Seeing that Liu Bohuai had indeed changed his clothes already, Li Qingzhou nodded, âAlright, then Iâm going to the bathroomâ¦.â
âLet me help you.â
Saying this, Liu Bohuai moved behind him and pushed the wheelchair towards the bathroom.
Although his voice was without emotion and his tone light, there was something about it that said he wouldnât take no for an answer, âThe height and dimensions of the bathroom here arenât the same as the ones in your house.â
âSo taking a shower might be very inconvenient for you. You shouldnât slip and fall.â
[Itâsâ¦. itâs trueâ¦.. but how can you help me take a shower?!]
âThe little guy in the bubble turned red instantly then covered his little face with his hands, burying it in his chest while steam appeared above his head, making him look like a steamed little egg.
Li Qingzhou was a little stunned, but quickly reacted, âNo, thereâs no need for that. Third Master, I can do it on my ownâ¦.â
However before he could finish speaking, he had already been pushed into the bathroom.
