When Dudu was four months old, Li Bao'er's maternity leave ended.

In order not to disturb Li Bao'er's rest, Liu Shu volunteered to take his son, Dudu, to sleep in another bedroom.

However, Liu Shu's good intentions did not yield a good result. Li Bao'er, who was sleeping in a separate bed from her husband and child for the first time, successfully suffered from insomnia that night.

After tossing and turning until three o'clock, Li Bao'er couldn't hold back any longer. She tiptoed into the father and son's room and, by the light of the small nightlight on the floor, saw something that made her furious.

On the large bed, which measures 1.8 meters by 2 meters, the father and son slept diagonally opposite each other! Each of them firmly guarded their opposite corner, curled up in their own territory!

Li Bao'er first took a photo as evidence, then gently carried Dudu back to the center of the bed before twisting Liu Shu's ear and dragging him out of the room.

Liu Shu felt himself drifting off to sleep after feeding his son at night when a sharp pain in his ear woke him up. But remembering his identity as a father, he endured the pain silently and left the bedroom so as not to wake his son.

"You, Liu Shu! Is this how you take care of my son?" Li Bao'er shoved the photos on her phone in front of Liu Shu's face. "He's only four months old! You make him sleep on the edge of the bed! You make him sleep in the corner of the bed! Would you sleep soundly if he fell off the bed?"

Liu Shu felt wronged.

Liu Shu felt incredibly wronged!

"Wife! I've moved him so many times tonight! He's avoiding me! I'm innocent! Didn't you see I was huddled in the corner of the bed to make room for him? Wife! I'm innocent! Your son is framing me!"

Li Bao'er didn't believe it: "He's only four months old! He can't even crawl yet! How could a four-month-old baby move to the corner of the bed!"

"But he can roll! He can even flip over!"

"What did you do to my son! He's a four-month-old baby who would rather roll over a meter than come near you!"

"..."

Li Bao'er scolded Liu Shu in a low voice for a while, then went back to the bedroom to check on Dudu. She saw that her eldest son was still lying upright in the middle of the bed, seemingly in the same position.

Li Bao'er immediately glared at Liu Shu again, as if to say: Liar, you just wait.

Liu Shu was incredibly aggrieved; he truly felt he had been framed by his own son. So, overnight, Liu Shu moved the security camera from the living room to his bedroom. In this world, seeing is believing! He refused to believe he couldn't outmaneuver a four-month-old baby!

The next night, after waking up twice more, Liu Shu moved Dudu from the corner of the bed to the center. He decided not to sleep anymore and sat on the edge of the bed until dawn. Then, hearing the door to Li Bao'er's bedroom open, he immediately grabbed the security camera footage and excitedly confronted Li Bao'er, pleading, "Wife! Wife! Look, look! It was your son who framed me!!"

So Li Bao'er saw incredulously in the surveillance video a four-month-old baby struggling to roll over from Liu Shu's arms, and then laboriously made its way to the corner of his bed.

……

Li Bao'er fell silent.

……

When Dudu was eight months old, he could already toddle around while holding onto the crib railing. He seemed to have a good talent for gross motor skills, but he just wouldn't talk, not uttering a single word.

Li Bao'er and Liu Shu were very anxious about this, and even suspected that Dudu might be mute. They went to the children's hospital several times.

On her first birthday, Dudu looked at Li Bao'er, who was holding her with a beaming smile, and suddenly called out clearly, "Daddy!"

Liu Shu, standing nearby, got excited and quickly hugged Dudu, guiding him expectantly, "Daddy's here! Daddy's here! Call Daddy! Dad~ Dad~"

Dudu remained silent.

Dudu even closed her eyes.

Li Bao'er smiled and picked Dudu up again, saying, "Alright, it's enough that our son can talk. You know, great people are slow to speak, right?"

"father!"

Li Bao'er was stunned. Her gaze returned to her arms, and she saw Dudu staring intently at her. Then, Dudu called out clearly once again, "Daddy!"

Li Bao'er and Liu Shu were both a little confused.

But suddenly, a distant, seemingly past life-like experience swept through Li Bao'er's mind like a whirlwind, along with the words spoken by the silver-haired Mr. Wuhen.

"Li Gou Dan!?" Li Bao'er couldn't help but exclaim.

"father!"

Liu Shu: ...

Liu Shu: Damn it!
