perfect location

Xia Chen caught a cold from a colleague, and it was quite serious.

And Lu Xingshu is busy with official duties, and has not been home for a month.

Five-year-old Dabao and Xiaobao were sitting in the living room doing simple arithmetic problems. Xiaobao was very serious. Dabao fell asleep lying on the floor with his belly button exposed within a few minutes.Fortunately, there is enough heating, otherwise, with Dabao's casual personality, he would catch a cold sooner or later.

Xiao Ning reluctantly picked him up and put him in the room.

I feel sleepy as soon as I study, and I don't know who the big treasure looks like, obviously Xia Chen and Lu Xingshu are not bad in grades.

Arithmetic problems are homework for the two of them in kindergarten. Xiao Bao, who just entered the middle class this year, is very serious and can already add and subtract within one hundred.Xiao Ning thinks that Xiao Bao's temper is more like Xia Chen's, he talks less and is cold, but when he speaks, he has a milky voice and is good-looking. The contrast is so cute that it makes people mad.

"Aunt Ning, is father coming home tonight?" Xiao Bao rubbed his eyes, probably tired too.

It is already 07:30 in the evening, and they will definitely go to bed at [-] o'clock.Xiaobao yawned, and all the arithmetic problems in the homework book have been completed.Xiao Ning helped him put away his homework and school supplies. Knowing that Xiao Bao wanted to wait for Lu Xingshu, he smiled and said, "The general will probably be very late when he gets home. Young master, let's go to bed first."

"No." Xiao Bao frowned very seriously, "I want to wait for father."

Xiao Ning knows Xiaobao's temper. Although he is young, he is generally very persistent in what he wants to do.

She was a little embarrassed: "But the general won't be home until early in the morning."

Xiaobao didn't say a word, sometimes, he and Xia Chen were like carved out of the same mold, cold.Xiao Ning often didn't know how to please this young master. He was so cute when he was young, but how could he become more indifferent as he grew up.

For the past few days, Xia Chen had a severe cold, so he almost hid in his room, for fear of infecting his two children.

Dabao cried and yelled to see Xia Chen, but after being coaxed by Xiao Ning twice, he stopped tossing.On the other hand, Xiaobao, who is very sensible, didn't make any noise or make trouble, but was quiet.Every morning, noon and night, Xiao Ning told Xiao Ning not to forget to deliver medicine to Xia Chen, and before going to bed at night, he always liked to walk around the door of Xia Chen's room a few times, but he didn't knock on the door.

This made Xiao Ning worry instead.

Unable to wring Xiaobao's temper, Xiaoning could only wait for Lu Xingshu in the living room with him.Xiaobao was obviously sleepy, shaking his head, and couldn't even sit still.

But his perseverance was not bad, he even got up and went to the door of Xia Chen's room to lie down and listen for a while.That posture was exactly the same as that of Lu Xingshu who used to sleep by the door.

Not long after, Xiao Bao hurried downstairs, pulled Xiao Ning's clothes and said, "Aunt Ning, Dad coughed badly, did he run out of water?"

"I just sent a jug of water up."

"Where's the pear sauce that grandpa sent yesterday? That's good for cough relief. Have you given it to Dad?"

Xiao Ning nodded: "Young Master, I have done everything you said."

Xiaobao drooped his head, unhappy.

The clock on the wall was ticking to point at ten o'clock, and Xiao Ning began to feel sleepy, staring at Xiao Bao desperately.

Xiao Bao was reading a book: "Aunt Ning, if you are sleepy, go to sleep and leave me alone."

"No." Xiao Ning was worried, and took a deep breath, "I can hold on."

After speaking, Xiao Ning fell asleep.Xiao Bao sighed a little, covered Xiao Ning with a small blanket, and then continued to concentrate on reading.The content of the book is very simple, mostly colored drawings, occasionally there are only a few words, all of which are marked in pinyin.This storybook is Xiaobao's favorite, because Xia Chen has read it to him several times.

Tick, tick.

The clock ticked very slowly, and Xiao Ning's breathing was long.

Xiao Bao rubbed his eyes, his eye sockets turned red.While Xiao Ning fell asleep, he ran upstairs again, and sat at the door of Xia Chen's room with a storybook in his hand.

Is Dad asleep?Because the coughing sound was no longer heard.

Xiaobao felt very lonely, he seemed to be the only one awake in the whole villa.Even with the lights on, I still feel uncomfortable.He rubbed his eyes again, and his nose was sour.No matter how young he is, he is only five years old this year.The inexplicable fear of the silence of the night made him start to get scared, and he sat with his head buried.

Then, someone patted him.

Xiaobao raised his head, his eyes filled with tears.

It was Dabao who had just woken up. He reached out and touched Xiaobao's head: "Brother, you are so ashamed to cry."

"traitor."

"Why are you swearing at people!"

"We agreed to wait for father to come back together." Xiaobao turned his head angrily.

Dabao said righteously: "Then I will sleep, what can you do to me?"

"From now on, from now on... I won't do arithmetic homework for you."

"Brother, I was wrong, don't do this." Dabao sat down immediately, poked his arm with his fingers, and said in a good voice, "Calm down, brother."

It is said that the brothers have no overnight feud, and Xiaobao is angry with Dabao's behavior for only 3 minutes.

Dabao sighed childishly: "Did Aunt Ning snore?"

"Ah."

"Can she still get married?"

"She said she wanted to be a bachelor."

"This word... is so dirty." Dabao sucked his finger, always feeling that the words 'single noble' were somewhat out of tune with their brains.

Xiaobao pressed down his hand: "Father said that you won't let you suck your finger, it's dirty."

"Dad..." Speaking of Xia Chen, Dabao suddenly became sad, "I haven't seen Dad for three days..."

I get up early every day to go to kindergarten, and I have to do my homework when I come back from school, and I have to go to bed after finishing my homework.In the gap between, Xia Chen never left the room once.Dabao sniffed his nose, tears came out all of a sudden, and said with a sob, "Dad doesn't like us anymore."

"Stupid, Dad has a cold."

"I didn't hide in the room when I caught a cold." Dabao felt it was unfair.

Xiaobao was also aggrieved: "It's all because you can't do arithmetic, idiot."

"Why do you keep swearing at people?"

"Because you're an idiot."

"You scolding Alpha, no Omega will like you in the future!" Dabao slapped him.

Xiaobao was hurt by the photo: "You kind of beating Omega, no Alpha will like you in the future!"

"I have a baby girl, but you don't!"

"……Humph."

The two were noisy, and Xia Chen's door opened.

Xia Chen was very surprised, it was already one o'clock in the morning.He vaguely heard a noise at the door of the room, and thought he had an auditory hallucination.As soon as the door opened, two little guys were sitting cross-legged at the door, bickering.

Looking at Xiao Ning again, he has already fallen asleep.

Xia Chen didn't speak, but when the two children saw their long-lost father, they pursed their mouths first, Dabao cried out first, and Xiaobao pursed his mouth to resist crying.Xia Chen covered his mouth and nose, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why are you still awake so late?" It wasn't out of a questioning tone, but more out of worry.

"Dad, do you not like us anymore?" Dabao cried.

Xia Chen had no choice but to turn around and go to the room to get a mask for himself, then went to the inner guard to wash his hands with hand sanitizer, then turned around and patted Dabao's head: "Who said that?"

"Xiaobao said it." Dabao hummed.

Xiaobao looked confused, what the hell?

"Dad has a cold, and I'm afraid it will be transmitted to you." Xia Chen slowed down his voice, squatted down, and kept the same height as the child, "The cold is very uncomfortable, and Dad doesn't want you to feel uncomfortable too. Although it may be a bit difficult, we must persevere Isn't it? Dad wants to hug you too, but he can't do it these days." After speaking, Xia Chen turned his head away and coughed twice.

Xiao Bao lowered his head, awkwardly not speaking.

Xia Chen reached out and touched his head: "Okay, now you can tell Dad, why are you still awake so late?"

Dabao glanced at Xiaobao, Xiaobao grabbed his clothes and whispered, "I want to wait for father."

"Well, what then?" Xia Chen patiently guided Xiaobao to answer the question.

"Father is a strong Alpha. With him by our side, we won't be afraid of cold germs." Xiaobao couldn't help crying, "This way we can see Dad."

He still held a corner of the storybook in his hand.

Dabao sucked his nose: "I miss Dad, I miss Dad... woo woo woo."

Xiaobao wiped his tears with his cuff, choked up and said, "...I miss Dad too."

It seems that three days have suffocated the two children.

Xia Chen helped them all wipe away their tears, feeling very distressed, and whispered: "Okay, good boy, if you cry again, you will wake up Aunt Ning. Wait for Dad, okay?"

Dabao and Xiaobao nodded, looking at Xia Chen expectantly.

Xia Chen, who looked at him softly, felt very guilty in his heart, he shouldn't have caught a cold.

Xia Chen went back to his room and changed into clean pajamas, washed his hands with hand sanitizer again, and changed into a mask with more layers.He took Dabao and Xiaobao's hands and led them back to the small room.Because they were still young, they would be afraid to sleep in a room alone, so Xia Chen specially arranged them in a room.

There was a low cabinet between the two small single beds. Xia Chen sat on it, opened Dabao's favorite storybook, and carefully read bedtime stories to the children.

His nasal voice was very heavy and his speech was not pleasant at all.

But for kids, Dad's voice is hypnotic and soothing.Dabao yawned, turned his head and fell asleep.Xiao Bao stared blankly at Xia Chen's face wearing a mask, and said softly, "Dad."

"Ok?"

"Dad, don't catch a cold in the future, okay? I don't want to lose sight of Dad..." Xiaobao was a normal child in front of Xia Chen, neither indifferent nor pretending to be mature.He sometimes acts like a spoiled child, Xiaobao is more clingy to Xia Chen than Dabao.

Xia Chen really wanted to kiss him, but because he was still catching a cold, he could only touch his head again: "Daddy loves you too, go to sleep, baby."

Xiao Bao pursed his lips, finally closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, Xiao Ning in the living room smacked his mouth, leaving a stream of saliva, and his sleeping phase was so different that it was not flattering.Lu Xingshu, who came back late, had a headache and looked at her with complicated emotions, then went upstairs by himself.

There was no one in the room, so Lu Xingshu subconsciously went to the child's room.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xia Chen lying prone on the child's desk.Lu Xingshu approached softly and found that he was still wearing a mask.He raised the corners of his mouth gently, carefully picked up Xia Chen and walked back to his room.Xia Chen slept very lightly, squinting his eyes and leaning against Lu Xingshu's arms, relying unconditionally, he said vaguely: "Are you back?"

"Why is the nasal sound so heavy? Have a cold?"

"Well, but it should be ready soon." Xia Chen said with peace of mind, "Because the children love me very much."

So, I have to get better soon.

All of Lu Xingshu's exhaustion was dispelled by Xia Chen's last sentence, and the house was indeed very warm, so he responded, "I love you very much, too."

Xia Chen didn't answer any more, but fell into a deeper sleep. After all, Lu Xingshu's embrace is always so reassuring.

In the quiet winter night, the lights in Lu's villa were finally turned off.
