Chapter 969 - I‘ll Borrow a Shirt From Daddy

“Bai Qi!” Zhou Sileng hopped to the bathroom door. “Bai Qi, why don’t you come out? Are you done?”

“Yes, I’m done showering.” Bai Qi nodded. “But there’s one problem. I don’t have clothes to change into. Sileng, can you get me some clean female clothes?”

“Female clothes? But Bai Qi, there is no woman in this house. My father has never brought any woman home.”

Bai Qi was stunned. That devil never brought a woman home?

To be honest, she didn’t believe it. That devil was sleeping with a woman like Liu Chengcheng. Liu Chengcheng wore such revealing clothes in the hotel. She didn’t dare to think further about his fetishes.

She believed that he was mean and a jerk.

But when Bai Qi looked at Zhou Sileng’s small face, she thought that no matter how bad that devil was, he still loved his son. Maybe that’s why he never brought those random women home.

He still had a conscience!

“Sileng, don’t Grandma and Auntie Ni live here? Can you borrow something from them?”

“It’s already late at night. Grandma and Auntie Ni already left...” Zhou Sileng’s eyes lit up as he said that. “I got it, Bai Qi! Wait here. I’ll ask Daddy to lend you a shirt.”

“Sileng!”

Zhou Sileng ignored her screams and ran away.

Bai Qi was going crazy. She would rather be naked than borrow clothes from that devil. He would probably think that it was her who asked Sileng to borrow it. Now she could never explain herself.

Five minutes later, Zhou Sileng returned with a black shirt in his hand. “Bai Qi, this is for you. My daddy gave it to me. It’s new, never worn before.”

At this point, Bai Qi could only reach out her hand to take it. The black shirt was indeed new. The tag on it had not been removed.

The corner of her mouth twitched. “Sileng, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Zhou Sileng was very happy.

Bai Qi stood in front of the sink and put on the black shirt. The man’s shirt was wide and large, going all the way to her knees. Her skin was soft and fair, and this black shirt made her skin look somewhat fragrant.

Bai Qi felt uncomfortable. Although the shirt was new, it seemed to give off the man’s scent.

That day in the car, the scent of his body was so invasive. The strong scent of the man’s masculinity was mixed with the faint smell of tobacco. It was... nice...

Thinking of this, Bai Qi quickly shook her head. What was she thinking about?

She felt that her ears were burning.

...

Bai Qi put on the cloth and walked out of the bathroom. Zhou Sileng was sitting on her bed.

“Sileng, it’s getting late. You should go to bed. A good kid sleeps early and rises early.”

Zhou Sileng took out a fairy tale book. “Bai Qi read me a story.”

Bai Qi’s heart melted. He was a child and needed to listen to a story before going to bed.

She sat on the bed and pat Zhou Sileng’s little head. “Sileng, I need to talk to you about something...”

“What a coincidence. Bai Qi, there’s also something I’d like to talk with you about. Where are we going tomorrow? You’re going to teach me some self-defense techniques. I’m so excited just thinking about it. We can spend two days together...”

Zhou Sileng was chirping like a happy little bird. Bai Qi’s words were stuck in her throat. She wanted to leave, but how could she say it out loud?

“Bai Qi, I never had kids to play with. Only Grandma accompanied me. I’m very lonely. I raised a little rabbit once. It was very cute, but when I woke up the next day, the little rabbit was gone...” Zhou Sileng looked at Bai Qi sorrowfully as he spoke, “Bai Qi, you won’t suddenly disappear like that little rabbit, right? ”

Bai Qi’s heart ached and softened. She shook her head. “I won’t...”

She really couldn’t bring herself to say it. Forget about tonight, She would tell him tomorrow morning.

Anyway, it was already late at night. If she stayed in her room, she definitely wouldn’t bump into that devil.

“Sileng, is your daddy... not going to stay with you?”

“No! Based on what I could remember, daddy rarely comes home. He didn’t even send me off on my first day of kindergarten. He only cared about picking up girls outside. My classmates all laughed at me when they found out, and they even bullied me!” Zhou Sileng said indignantly.

Zhou Sileng had his plans. If he made himself look pitiful, then Bai Qi would sympathize with him more. Only then would their relationship be able to develop smoothly and sustainably.

Bai Qi’s impression of Zhou Yao worsened. As a father, he only cared about picking up girls and not accompanying his son. He even hit his son whenever he felt like it. He was a very incompetent father.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yao sneezed twice in the master bedroom. He frowned. Was someone talking behind his back?

Bai Qi stroked Zhou Sileng’s little face as her heart ached for him. She felt so sorry for the little guy. He lost his mommy since he was young and did not even feel his father’s love. He was very lonely.

“Sileng, What... what kind of person was your mommy?”

“I don’t know.” Zhou sileng shook his head. “Grandma and daddy won’t tell me. This is the only thing that mommy left for me...”

Zhou Sileng jiggled his little hand, and the bells gave off a crisp and melodious sound.

Bai Qi’s pupils dilated. She stared blankly at the red bracelet on Zhou Sileng’s wrist...

Images flashed through her mind. It seemed like... she had once sat on a small bed. Her stomach hurt, but her hands were quickly attaching bells to a bracelet...

Bai Qi tried very hard to grab hold of the small fragments of memories, but she couldn’t. Her head hurt very much.

“Hiss,” She furrowed her brows tightly and covered her head with her hand.

Zhou Sileng was shocked. He quickly jumped up from the bed. “Bai Qi, what’s wrong? Do you have a headache?”

Bai Qi’s face turned a little pale. She retracted her hand and stretched the corners of her mouth. “Sileng, don’t worry. I’m fine.”

“Really?”

“Mmm.”

Zhou Sileng was a little kid and very easy to coax. He picked up the storybook and stuffed it into Bai Qi’s hands. “Bai Qi read me a story then.”

“Sure, lie down and lie down under the blanket. Don’t catch a cold, I’ll read you a story.”

Zhou Sileng obediently lied down under the blanket while Bai Qi sat beside him. The lamp on the nightstand gave off a soft and yellowish light. Bai Qi told him a story in a soft and gentle voice.

Zhou Sileng fell asleep when the first story ended.

Bai Qi put away the storybook and stretched out her slender fingers to touch his little face. This little guy fell asleep on her bed. He must have been tired.

Bai Qi got off the bed and gently carried Zhou Sileng in her arms. Then she carried him to his room.

...

Bai Qi wanted to put him in his bed, but Zhou Sileng’s two small hands clenched tightly onto the collar of her shirt. The little guy murmured, “Bai Qi, don’t go...”
