Zhou Yi held the little one tightly and wouldn't let go, but it was getting chilly outside and it was getting late.

Zhou Yi was satisfied after rubbing the little guy's cheek for a while.

She pulled away from the little one's face, and said with a gentle smile, "Yuyu, shall we go back now?"

“It’s a bit late now, let’s go back to sleep. In a couple of days, when Aunt Zhou Yi’s grandma is feeling better, Aunt Zhou Yi will take you out for a walk again.”

After saying that, Zhou Yi thought of something and immediately looked at Wenren Chen: "Sir, once Grandma's condition is more stable, may I take Yuyu out for a walk?"

Fearing that Wenren Chen would disagree, she quickly said, "Let's just go for a walk nearby, not too far or to places with too many people. Aunt Dong will come along too."

This is, after all, an unfamiliar city. It's Yu Yu's first time traveling so far, and she's come all the way to Shancheng. Her husband might not agree.

But Zhou Yi wanted to bring Yu Yu out to see the city where she had lived and grown up.

Let Yuyu see her hometown.

Looking into those cautious yet expectant eyes, Wenren Chen said, "Okay."

Zhou Yi had already prepared herself for Wenren Chen to refuse, but she didn't expect that her teacher would agree.

She paused for a moment, then her eyes widened, and she smiled brightly, saying, "Thank you, sir!"

"I'll let you know in advance where we're going!"

"Ah."

Without further delay, Zhou Yi carried the little one into the hotel, with Wenren Chen walking beside her at a leisurely pace. The three of them went back together.

Zhou Yi is back. The little guy stopped crying, stopped fussing, and stopped whimpering.

He babbled and talked to Zhou Yi in her arms, and Zhou Yi talked to the little guy in return.

However, she had talked too much and for too long before, so she stopped talking when she came back, and her voice had recovered slightly.

Now I'm talking to the little one, and he's been talking about it ever since we entered the hotel, and he's still talking about it when we got into the suite.

Then Zhou Yi's voice became off.

As the door closed, Wenren Chen listened to the noticeably hoarse voice and looked at the face that was still talking to the little guy without realizing it: "You have a cold?"

He suddenly spoke, and Zhou Yi was taken aback, then looked at Wenren Chen.

His deep eyes were fixed on her, clearly speaking to her.

Zhou Yi immediately shook her head: "No."

"Sir, I don't have a cold."

Taking care of children requires a lot of care; you can't get sick, especially a cold, as it's very easy to infect a child.

Especially for very young children.

It's troublesome when children get sick, so we pay extra attention to their health on a daily basis.

Wenren Chen looked into those clear eyes and saw the certainty in them. After a couple of breaths, he opened his lips and said, "Your voice is hoarse."

Zhou Yi paused, then swallowed, her throat noticeably dry. She then realized that she had spoken a lot earlier and her voice was hoarse.

She hadn't drunk any water.

He quickly explained, "Sir, I talked to Grandma for a long time in the ward before. The doctor said that if I talk to Grandma more, she might wake up sooner."

"I was talking to my grandma the whole time and forgot to drink water. I haven't had any water for the past few hours, so my throat got dry."

"Don't worry, sir, I'll just have some water."

"It's not a cold."

She knew the symptoms of a cold; it wasn't just a dry throat, it could also hurt, a dull ache. She didn't have that symptom.

She was just hoarse, not in pain.

It's not a cold.

However, what the gentleman said reminded her of something.

Hospitals are full of germs, and with people going in and out like this, it's easy to get infected and sick.

Just in case, she ordered some cold medicine powder and asked the deliveryman to bring her a packet to take first.

This way, she can take precautions in advance and avoid catching a cold.

Thinking it over, Zhou Yi quickly said, "Sir, I'll take Yu Yu to her room to sleep first, then I'll drink some water and buy some cold medicine so she won't get sick."

The husband was also worried about Yuyu, because if she caught a cold, she would easily be infected.

She understands.

Wenren Chen watched as her slightly dry lips opened and closed. After she finished speaking, he opened his lips and said, "Give me Yuyu, go drink some water."

He placed the canvas bag on the sofa, stretched out his arm, and Zhou Yi's eyelashes fluttered as she smiled and said, "Okay."

He handed the little fellow to Wenren Chen and then went to pour him some water.

Because there was a child, the suite had water kept at a constant temperature for 20 hours, so Zhou Yi simply took a cup and drank from it.

She gulped down one cup after another, and after three cups, the dryness in her throat finally disappeared.

He put down the cup and quickly went to Wenren Chen: "Sir, give Yuyu to me, you can go and rest."

Sir, you've worked very hard and need to rest early.

Wenren Chen held the little one, his deep eyes fixed on the pink lips that were now moist. He opened his mouth and said, "Go wash up. After you're done, take Yuyu away."

In an instant, Zhou Yi remembered that she had just returned from the hospital and hadn't even washed up yet, so her clothes must be full of bacteria.

The gentleman is very thoughtful.

Zhou Yi immediately replied earnestly, "Okay, sir, I'll go wash up right away!"

She immediately went back to her bedroom, found some clothes, and went to the bathroom.

There wasn't even the slightest delay.

Wenren Chen sat on the sofa holding the little guy. The little guy watched Zhou Yi running around until Zhou Yi disappeared, then he looked away and looked at Wenren Chen.

Wenren Chen was looking at him. The father and son looked at each other. The little guy blinked his thick eyelashes twice and then giggled.

As the night deepened and midnight approached, the small town grew even quieter.

After hanging up with Zhou Yi, Aunt Dong came down from her suite to find her husband. She saw what was happening outside the hotel: Miss Zhou had returned. Reassured, she went back to her suite to rest.

As Zhou Yi went to wash up, the living room became quiet.

The little guy was well-behaved in Wenren Chen's arms, neither crying nor fussing, just playing with the buttons on Wenren Chen's shirt.

As the stillness of the night enveloped the space, the little one started yawning as he played.

Wenren Chen leaned back on the sofa, gazing at the little one in his arms.

With its little mouth open, its small face and big eyes were filled with sleepiness, making it incredibly cute.

However, he still didn't sleep, but instead looked in the direction Zhou Yi had left.

They were clearly waiting for Zhou Yi.

He wouldn't sleep unless Zhou Yi came.

In the bedroom, Zhou Yi quickly washed herself thoroughly, changed into dry pajamas, and hurried out after making sure everything was alright.

"Sir, I'm all washed up. Please give me Yuyu."

With her long hair, which she had washed and dried, casually tied behind her head, Zhou Yi quickly approached Wenren Chen, bent down, and reached out her hand.

The little one saw her and immediately started moving, babbling and eager to get into Zhou Yi's arms.

The subtle scent of shower gel and shampoo wafted through the air as Zhou Yi arrived, softening the otherwise tranquil atmosphere.

Wenren Chen hummed in agreement and handed the little one to her.

Zhou Yi immediately took the little one, who happily snuggled into her arms.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Yu Yu, let's go to sleep~"

After saying that, he said to Wenren Chen, "Sir, I'm taking Yuyu to rest now. You should also get some rest."

"Ah."

After receiving a response, Zhou Yi bent down to Wenren Chen and carried the little one back to the bedroom.

The door closed quickly.

Wenren Chen watched as the bedroom door closed, took out his phone to make a call, and headed towards the study.

Zhou Yi carried the little one back to the bedroom and changed his diaper. Worried that the little one might have picked up germs from the hospital from her previous handling of him, she cleaned him up and changed him into clean pajamas before finally lying down on the bed with him in her arms.

"Okay, Yuyu, let's go to sleep~"

Holding the little one in her arms, Zhou Yi gently patted the little one's back. The little one looked at her, yawned slightly, and then grinned at her.

Zhou Yi smiled and kissed the little guy on the forehead.

The little one immediately grabbed the front of her clothes and nuzzled his face into her arms.

After a few attempts, it stopped moving.

Zhou Yi looked at the small face resting against her chest, and saw that her beautiful black gemstone eyes were closed.

The little one is asleep.

With a smile playing on his lips, he picked up the remote and turned off the light.

After the little one fell asleep, she went out to place an order for the powder.

Zhou Yi thought to herself.

However, as soon as the lights were turned off, darkness filled the bedroom, and drowsiness immediately overwhelmed me.

Zhou Yi yawned uncontrollably, and then endless exhaustion overwhelmed her consciousness.

She gradually drifted off to sleep...

"Knock knock."

"..."

"Knock knock."

"..."

The knocking sound seemed to come from a very, very far place, gradually becoming clearer.

Zhou Yi slowly opened her eyes and saw only darkness.

Nothing can be seen.

This is where?

"Zhou Yi, come out for a moment."
