“Funabune.”
Song Lianzhou murmured secretly and repeated the name.
Unconsciously, he looked away and looked outside, trying to find Shen Zhixi's figure, and wanted to ask her why she named her child this name. Is it a coincidence, or is it because of him...
"Porridge...porridge."
Shen Wanying shouted and waved at him, drawing his eyes back.
She yelled and patted her belly, her shrinking eyes gleaming as if she was longing for something.
Song Lianzhou didn't realize it for a moment and reached out to grab her waving little hand.
The fleshy feel made him feel weak.
A small fist, no bigger than his palm, was soft when squeezed, but a little cold.
He simply used both hands to hold her little hand in it. He lowered his head to breathe and gently rubbed her little hand. She was not afraid of struggling, and her big eyes were full of curiosity about him.
She looked up and looked at the ruby gem inlaid in Song Lianzhou's hair crown.
Babbling, grinning.
Song Lianzhou held her little hand, his eyebrows were unconsciously filled with kindness, and asked: "What are you looking at?"
"Red...red." She stretched out her other little hand and pointed at the crown of his hair.
Song Lianzhou understood immediately, with calculations in his eyes.
"You want to play, you can." He reached out and wiped a few tears on her face, smiled softly and said, "Call father, and I will take it out for you to play with."
Shen Wanying didn't understand, she blinked her eyes as if trying hard to understand what he was saying.
"Or, call me daddy. It's the same as calling me daddy."
Song Lianzhou's beautiful eyes sparkled with tenderness and coaxing. From the day he decided to marry Shen Zhixi, he had been looking forward to this call from his father.
But Shen Wanying still didn't understand. She looked at his face from time to time, and from time to time looked at the red jade on his hair crown.
"Your name is Zhouzhou, and my name is Zhouzhou. We are a family."
Hearing these two words, Shen Wanying reacted again, shouting "porridge" again and again.
"Well, Zhouzhou is good." Song Lianzhou followed the hair on her head and said coaxingly: "Zhouzhou calls you daddy. If you call her daddy, daddy will give you whatever you want."
"Be good and call me daddy."
While he was coaxing, he raised his hand to touch the crown of her hair, making her eyes widen.
"Call daddy."
Shen Wanying became excited. Looking at his hand that was about to take off the ruby, she was finally coaxed to scream.
"Daddy...Daddy...Daddy."
Just looking at Song Lianzhou's smiling face, the smile became even stronger.
Apparently, he was satisfied.
"Be good, you are so good, much better than your mother."
As he spoke, he pulled out the hairpin from the crown, then took off the crown and handed it to Wan Ying's hand.
Shen Wanying clapped her little hands and laughed non-stop. Seeing the hair crown being handed to her, she reached out to take it in a hurry. She held the hair crown with her two little hands and was so happy. Maybe because her hands were small, she couldn't hold it firmly and the hair crown fell down. Song Lianzhou picked it up and handed it over again. She grabbed the hair crown and placed it on her belly. She held it with one hand and poked the ruby on it with her index finger.
Seeing her happy made Song Lianzhou even happier.
Without the hair crown, all his hair was down. Originally it was only half down, but now it was like a waterfall. Under the reflection of the candlelight in the room, he was even more beautiful like a god, blocked by his hair. Half of the profile is filled with ingenious beauty. Even if he is dressed in black from head to tail, it is still the most dazzling dark color in the night.
He hugged Wanying over, held her in his arms and sat down.
Wan Ying got the toy and did not resist. She only lowered her head and carefully fiddled with the hair crown in her hand, poking and picking at it, enjoying herself.
"If you like it, daddy will send you more tomorrow."
Shen Wanying didn't say anything, she just made a few babbling sounds.
Song Lianzhou held her with one hand and held her hair crown with the other to prevent it from falling off again. He coaxed her again: "Zhou Zhou, be good, call me daddy again."
This time, Shen Wanying didn't hesitate anymore. With the first call, it was not difficult to get the second call.
"Daddy."
"Well, you're so good."
Even without Song Lianzhou's coaxing, she kept chattering and shouting several times. Maybe the word "daddy" is easy to pronounce, and it is as easy to pronounce as porridge. She didn't say it before because no one taught her, but now she loves the novelty of learning new words.
"Daddy, daddy, daddy..."
Song Lianzhou was happy to hear it, and felt that all worries and unpleasant things had disappeared at this moment.
When Shen Zhixi came back, he saw this scene.
Especially the sound of "Daddy" made her feel as if she was petrified, and her legs froze when she stepped over the threshold.
Song Lianzhou looked up at her, his gentle eyes a little more cunning.
"You're back." He smiled.
Shen Zhixi suppressed his heart palpitations, bravely walked in, put down the tray in his hand, and heard the voice of the person on the other side of the bed say: "Good boy Zhouzhou, put on some more clothes, let's go eat."
Listening to this statement, Shen Zhixi swallowed nervously again.
Looking back, she glanced at her daughter sitting in Song Lianzhou's arms.
She even suspected that she was dazzled. Did Wan Ying forget to deal with her appearance and let Song Lianzhou see it? But no matter how many times he glanced at her, Wan Ying's appearance had still changed and was completely different from Song Lianzhou's.
"What's wrong?"
Song Lianzhou helped Wan Ying get dressed and raised his head to find her strange gaze.
She was startled and quickly looked back at the dinner on the plate.
"No, have you eaten?" she asked Song Lianzhou.
"No." Song Lianzhou carried the child to her, sat down at the table and said, "I was anxious to see the child. I just came back to the city and haven't had time to eat."
Shen Zhixi stopped his movements and glanced back at him.
What does it mean to be in a hurry to see your child?
Are these words too intimate? It sounds like the father who has been away from home for a long time cannot wait...
But looking at that look in his eyes, it was probably intentional.
"But I didn't expect you haven't had dinner yet, so maybe..."
"I told the people in the Hou Mansion on the way here just now that they will prepare dinner and send it over."
“……”
Shen Zhixi nodded sheepishly and sat down with a smile.
"Let me hold you. You've been busy outside all afternoon, so don't get tired."
She made a move to take over Wan Ying, but Song Lianzhou refused to let her go. He only said: "It doesn't matter, I hold her. I feel happy and don't feel tired. This is to cultivate feelings, so naturally we have more contact."
Wan Ying, who was in Song Lianzhou's arms, was still holding her hair crown and shouting the word "Daddy" at him.
Shen Zhixi's eyes twitched and he turned sideways.
"Zhouzhou is very well-behaved and doesn't make trouble at all." Song Lianzhou added. The word "Zhouzhou" expresses a different meaning.
Shen Zhixi took the bowl and it was a bowl of shrimp porridge.
"Her name is not Zhou Zhou, her name is Shen Wanying, and her name is not Song Lianzhou's Zhou, but she likes to drink porridge, so she always calls her porridge, especially when she is hungry."
But Song Lianzhou didn't seem to believe it.
