Qiu Su had her back to him, seemingly lost in thought, before finally saying, "Didn't you say there was no blanket?"
"Ah, I just noticed that there is one at the foot of the bed."
Pei Yuan, in high spirits, embraced her. Despite their sticky bodies, they felt an unprecedented sense of harmony when they were close together.
Qiu Su remained silent for a while, then suddenly curled the corners of her lips, turned to look at Pei Yuan, stared at him for a long time, and said, "What are you doing here?"
Pei Yuan froze, raised his hand to touch her forehead, and exclaimed in surprise, "Wife, don't scare me."
Qiu Su stared blankly for a while, then hugged his arm, found a comfortable position, and went to sleep.
Pei Yuan propped himself up, staring intently at her. Even after she had fallen asleep and her breathing had evened out, he didn't dare look away. Pei Yuan's mind was a jumbled mess. Had witnessing the battlefield scenes left him somewhat dazed? Otherwise, how could they be so sweet together without him even needing to use his prepared tactics? It shouldn't be like this. He remembered that the first time she saw him, she told him to get out. Ugh, was she possessed by a ghost?
It was rare for Qiu Su to have a dreamless night. She woke up to find Mo Mo picking her nose. Qiu Su squinted at Mo Mo for a long time before her mind slowly recalled what had happened last night. Startled, she hurriedly pulled the blanket over herself, but Mo Mo tugged at her sleeve and said, "Mommy, be ashamed, the sun is shining on your bottom."
Sleeves? Qiu Su stretched out her arm to look at her pristine white undergarment, then hurriedly lifted the covers to check, only to find herself truly fully dressed. A dream!?
Mo Mo stood up. He was quite tall, like Pei Yuan. With Qiu Su sitting like this, he could almost reach her chin. Mo Mo stood on her lap, hugged her neck, and pouted, saying, "Mommy is bad. Hug Daddy, not Mo Mo."
Qiu Su blinked. "Where's your dad?"
Mo Mo looked around and called out towards the stairs, "Daddy, Mommy's looking for me."
"Coming!" came a reply from downstairs.
Qiu Su breathed a sigh of relief, her body went limp, and she lay back down, hugging Mo Mo.
"MoMo isn't going to sleep." She propped herself up on her arms and tried to stand up.
"Lie down for a while," Qiu Su said, frowning.
"MoMo won't lie in the dust." She jumped up and sat on the bed, patting her chubby little hands in the other direction.
"MoMo, eat eggs."
Pei Yuan set out the food, tossed the duck egg around a few times, and said with a smile, "Get down here yourself."
Mo Mo was quite clever. The bed was a bit high, and he was afraid of falling, so he clung to Qiu Su's legs and slowly crawled to his feet. He ran barefoot to Pei Yuan's side. Pei Yuan bent down, picked him up, gave him a big kiss, placed the duck egg in his hand, and sighed, "I missed Daddy so much."
Mo Mo seemed to understand but not quite, "I miss Mo Mo so much."
Pei Yuan laughed loudly, ruffled Mo Mo's soft hair, and put him on the stool, saying, "Good son, sit still, Dad will wake your mother up."
Mo Mo turned her head and grinned at Qiu Su, who was still lying on the bed with her back to them. "Mother, you're so shameful."
Pei Yuan tapped his nose, took his hand, cracked the shell of the duck egg, peeled off a piece for him to peel himself, and then turned to the bedside. He propped himself up on his arm, cradling Qiu Su in his arms, and looked at her, saying, "Wife, were you tired last night?"
Yes, we were up all night, and it seemed even more passionate than the last time.
Qiu Su glanced at Pei Yuan, frowned, and shook her head.
Pei Yuan glanced at Mo Mo, who was focused on peeling the eggshell, sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and kissed her lips. He opened his mouth to say something, but then he heard Mo Mo laugh out loud twice. She scurried back to the bed with her short legs, stomped her feet and shouted, "Let's play kissing, Mo Mo wants to play too!"
Qiu Su was embarrassed, and Pei Yuan's expression wasn't much better. He picked up Mo Mo and put him on the bed, patted the soles of his feet and put on his socks, then put on his clean cloth shoes. He said with a stern face, "Who taught you to peek? Peeping is not good behavior."
Mo Mo pointed at Qiu Su, whose face was slightly flushed, and said with a chubby hand covered in egg white, "Mother is peeking, but Mo Mo isn't looking."
Pei Yuan laughed, and very considerately helped Qiu Su up, putting on her clothes and buttoning them up, then putting on her socks and shoes. He then leaned down and kissed her cheek again, saying to Mo Mo, "That was your mother's fault. Oh, who were you peeking at?"
Mo Mo pouted and spat out the eggshell. He had scraped off more than half of a duck egg, leaving a white mess on the edge of the stool. After spitting for a while, Mo Mo tilted his head forward and said, "Kiss Mo Mo."
