But now, seeing these things laid out there again, a feeling of retreat suddenly welled up inside me.
Actually, since my father is so capable, it doesn't seem to matter if I'm not that capable myself and just slack off.
After convincing himself, the little tiger tried to continue being the same good-for-nothing who just lazed around and waited to die, with a clear conscience.
Chu Qing had long since figured out this little guy's personality, and now, seeing him like this, he roughly understood what was on his mind.
"Now that we've found all these things, we definitely need to practice them properly."
The little guy, who had just mentally comforted himself, widened his eyes instantly upon hearing those words.
If the person who said this was the father, he would definitely have already started whimpering in great resentment.
But now it's my dad who's saying this to me...
After thinking for a long time, the little one gritted his teeth and nodded.
After all, this was something he had promised himself, and he was so determined when he made the promise. He absolutely couldn't be a brat that his father looked down on now.
"Awoo!"
Wei Yutang watched helplessly as the little guy, who was usually disobedient in front of him, became so well-behaved in front of Chu Qing that it softened his heart.
Fortunately, this had happened many times before, so he didn't feel any sense of loss.
After he finished his mission, before he even returned, he couldn't wait to apply to have Chu Qing and Little Tiger live with him.
He has met all other requirements, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to get the application approved.
Chu Qing has recently been receiving systematic training in that area, and there is also a little tiger cub, who is still very young and can't even speak clearly yet.
The investigation yielded results very quickly, arranging a fairly large house for the family of three.
Wei Yutang personally arranged for someone to help with the renovation, ensuring it was the style the two of them would like.
He helped review the design drawings many times, especially the bedroom design. Wei Yutang even specifically instructed the designer to make it fully automatic.
Given how clingy this little tiger is, he'll definitely still want to stick with his dad even after moving to the new house.
But they can't keep this kid by their side forever; they need to have their own private lives.
So he came up with a brilliant idea.
It's fine if the little one wants to stick close to his dad, and it's also fine if he wants to rest with his dad at night.
Anyway, the baby is still young and sleeps very well.
Basically, after being coaxed to sleep at night, I can sleep soundly until dawn without waking up in the middle of the night, and I sleep very deeply.
Once, when I called him to wake up, this little tiger delayed opening his eyes until the time he usually woke up on his own. He rubbed his eyes with his paws, and no matter which direction he looked, his eyes were full of confusion.
After considering this point, Wei Yutang asked the designer to create a fully automated system in the bedroom.
Make sure this cub is with them while sleeping, and once it falls asleep, it will automatically be moved to the side, to the little tiger's own bedroom.
This isn't particularly difficult for a designer, but he's rarely heard of such a strange request.
Xiaxia was completely unaware of her father's sinister intentions. Instead, she checked the new house first after moving in.
She was certain that many of her belongings were kept with her father, meaning that even after moving to this new home, she could still live with him as before.
After realizing this, the tiger cub's tail practically flew straight up to the sky.
Seeing through the kid's subtle desire to show off, Chu Qing shook her head with a slight sense of helplessness.
This kid is probably very easy to deceive because he is still young. He tends to think superficially and his mind doesn't quite work.
When they get a little older, they probably won't be as easily fooled as they are now.
That evening, the little tiger looked around its little bed and, after confirming that it was right next to its father's big bed, it finally felt safe and crawled into bed.
He was still being taken care of by the nanny. By this time, he had already taken a shower and changed into a clean plush onesie.
Actually, if we go by the baby's own idea, he doesn't want to wear clothes at all. After all, he has very thick fur and doesn't feel cold even after being washed.
But the little tiger could tell that his father seemed to really like seeing him in his fluffy onesie.
Whenever he made his father angry, he would put on an adorable onesie and go to his father to apologize in a spoiled manner.
The little tiger might not be inclined to use his brain for other things, but when it comes to getting more attention from his father, practically no one is better at it than him.
He clarified that he had attended a course before returning home late tonight, and now a new teacher has arrived to explain something more advanced.
She had learned the previous material with ease, and could basically apply it fluently after the teacher explained it once. However, the content taught by this new teacher required repeated thinking and practice.
If someone hadn't called to tell him that his little one at home was still waiting for him to come back, he wouldn't have even realized that a long time had passed.
Chu Qing raised her wrist to check the time. Normally, the little tiger would have fallen asleep long ago.
Thinking of this, I couldn't care less. I had originally planned to practice for a long time, so I quickly packed my things and rushed back.
When Wei Yutang saw him return in a hurry, he reached out and helped him take off his coat and put it on a hanger to the side.
"I don't know what's wrong with Xiaxia. She just stays there waiting and doesn't want to sleep."
It was supposed to be a normal conversation between the two of them after get off work, but because Chu Qing was in a good mood today, he turned around and made a joke.
"Perhaps it's not just Xia Xia."
When Wei Yutang first heard this sentence, he didn't react at first. But after he figured out what it meant, his ears suddenly started to burn.
Indeed, the person at home who didn't go to sleep until he came back wasn't the only one who felt it was reasonable for him to wait there since he was out so late.
Now that he has pointed it out, my face is inexplicably burning.
The little tiger is still young, and given that the relationship between the two of them wasn't very good before, it left some shadows in the little tiger's heart. So, the little tiger waiting there is just an ordinary thing.
But I'm different. I'm a fully grown adult now, and when I come across these kinds of topics, I inevitably feel a little guilty.
"The baby misses you and doesn't want to sleep, and maybe his father does too."
Just as Chu Qing was about to go upstairs, Wei Yutang suddenly said these words, causing him to pause in his steps.
These are just ordinary words, practically everyday occurrences for couples who are together.
But just now, a very peculiar feeling welled up in his heart.
Chu Qing gently tugged at the corner of her lips, trying to hide her unusual expression. Then, she quickened her pace imperceptibly and walked upstairs to the bedroom door, pushing it open.
The little tiger, already sleepy and drowsy under the covers, was still stubbornly refusing to fall asleep, his eyelids drooping as he lay there.
When the little tiger saw its father suddenly appear at the door, it quickly stood up and pounced towards its father, letting out a pitiful whimper.
This little guy has been waiting for a long time and is now extremely sleepy. Even so, he still tries to act pitiful in front of his father, gesturing with his paws to show how long he has been waiting and how wronged he feels.
"Sorry, it was quite busy there today, so I got back a little late."
It was their first day in the new house, after all. If it weren't for the new teacher who was teaching something he had never encountered before, he should have been at home.
After hearing this, the little tiger gently shook its head.
He just missed his father a little and didn't want his father to neglect his important business because of him.
Wow, when did my baby become so considerate?
When the little tiger heard these words, it proudly raised its head.
He is no longer the child he used to be, the one who only wanted to be with his dad.
"It's getting late, you should get some rest, okay?"
After hearing this, the little tiger nodded gently.
He was already exhausted, but his determination to wait for his father to come back was so strong that it kept him going until now.
Now, just hearing my dad say that makes me feel sleepy instantly.
A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and the little boy could only nod his head before quickly drifting off to sleep.
After the little tiger fell asleep, Chu Qing did not leave immediately. Instead, she sat by the bed for a while to make sure the little tiger was really asleep. Then she reached out and tidied up the blanket for him before heading out.
Wei Yutang had the housekeeper prepare food for him outside, knowing that he would be returning so late, so the food prepared was something that suited his usual taste and was relatively light.
Today he was busy studying those things and really didn't have the mind to eat. He only ate a few bites at noon.
Now, after smelling the aroma of food, I suddenly felt waves of hunger in my stomach.
"Thank you."
This man's thoughtfulness is especially appreciated in this situation.
Perhaps it was because he had been busy all day and was too tired, or perhaps it was because he was feeling a bit tired at this point, but the aroma of the food reminded him of the man who had just carefully instructed others to prepare it.
In addition, not long ago, he had been coaxing a little tiger to sleep, so everything could be associated with the word "home".
The overwhelming feeling of warmth overwhelmed his mind and even briefly disrupted his reason.
"Suddenly I feel that if every night could be like this, it would be quite blissful."
When Wei Yutang heard these words, he was not relieved at first; instead, he felt a pang of indescribable heartache.
After they discussed that topic together last time, he specifically asked his subordinates to look up information about Chu Qing's past.
There was nothing malicious about it; I just wanted to know what kind of environment this person lived in before I came into the world.
After being lost and abandoned as a child, the parents did not choose to search for her, but instead turned around and brought home a replacement from the orphanage.
In some ways, Chu Qing was actually quite lucky.
After he was stranded on that planet, he was lucky enough to be adopted and raised to adulthood. Unfortunately, luck did not always favor him, and the couple who had taken him away soon after he grew up.
Wei Yutang often wondered if it was because he had received too little love from others that he was now so easily moved by the smallest things.
"This is something I should have done anyway."
"If you like it, we can do it every day, as long as I'm not out on a mission."
There are too many uncontrollable factors when carrying out a mission, plus the various dangers that may accompany the mission. Even if the mission was not very strict at the time, he was able to come back.
He didn't dare take the risk of putting the potential dangers of the mission on his family.
"That would be too much of a burden for you."
"It wasn't too hard, and I felt quite happy."
Arranging and setting up many things related to Chu Qing, the little romantic moments in life seemed to emerge along with these small things.
Perhaps because their relationship didn't follow the typical steps of a couple, they seemed a little awkward with each other in many ways.
