Pei Jingzhou chuckled. “My ears aren’t good?”

Yaoyao was very reasonable. “I clearly said thank you twice, but you still can’t hear me clearly.”

“It’s not that I can’t hear you clearly. I just hope you can say it again and express it boldly,” Pei Jingzhou explained.

Yaoyao stubbornly thought that it was what he thought. “It’s clearly your ears that are bad.”

Pei Jingzhou: ‘

The father and son looked at each other quietly for a moment. Pei Jingzhou

said, “I’m guessing that you don’t really want to eat the cake. Then go and fill the bathtub yourself.” With that, he was about to get up when Yaoyao reached out and grabbed a small part of Pei Jingzhou’s sleeve. Pei Jingzhou looked down at the small hand stubbornly tugging at his sleeve. “Weren’t you quite unreasonable just now?

Yaoyao put on a serious expression. “I’ve thought about it carefully. Cake is still more important.”

Pei Jingzhou raised his chin and suppressed a smile. “To bow just for a cake?”

Yaoyao didn’t know that many words. “What’s a bow?”

Pei Jingzhou explained, “It means to admit defeat.”

Yaoyao said in a muffled voice, “Then I admit defeat. Help me shower.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “I was willing to help you shower just now, but I’m not willing now.” Yaoyao’s eyes widened in disbelief. This expression was extremely vivid. Pei Jingzhou was very satisfied. The more vivid the expression, the better. He continued, “Of course, I am not completely unwilling to help. Let’s make a deal. If you do it, I’ll help you shower.”

Yaoyao looked disappointed, but even so, he still answered Pei Jingzhou’s questions. “Go ahead.”

Pei Jingzhou took the opportunity to suggest, “Call me Daddy and I’ll help you.”

Yaoyao’s eyes widened again, his small expression filled with disbelief. Probably no one he had ever met had made such a request of him.

Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, “Are you unwilling?

Yaoyao asked Pei Jingzhou seriously, “Why do I have to call you Daddy? Aren’t you Youyou’s father?”

Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips and did not answer immediately. It’s Youyou’s father, and it’s also your father. But he knew that Yaoyao wouldn’t believe him if he said it directly, and the shackles in Yaoyao’s heart needed to be unlocked bit by bit.

“Just take it that I’m joking with you,” Pei Jingzhou said calmly.

Yaoyao said, “It’s not funny.” Pei Jingzhou’s smile faded. Yaoyao said, “It’s not funny, is it, Daddy?”

Pei Jingzhou’s heart skipped a beat, and the faint smile on his lips curled up again. He reached out and pulled Yaoyao in front of him, wanting to carry him.

“Let’s go take a shower.”

Yaoyao shook his head in resistance. “No.”

Yaoyao lowered his head in embarrassment. “My pants are wet.” “It doesn’t matter.” Pei Jingzhou picked up Yaoyao and walked into the bathroom in the guest bedroom.

Yaoyao lay in Pei Jingzhou’s arms and hugged his neck with both hands, rubbing against him. Pei Jingzhou naturally sensed that he was in a good mood.

There was plenty of room in the bathroom. After Pei Jingzhou put Yaoyao down, he went to the bathtub to fill the water. Yaoyao took off his clothes. His movements were not very agile, even a little clumsy and slow, but they were methodical.

When the sweater and flannel pants on his body were removed, the ribs above Yaoyao’s lower abdomen were obvious, and the shoulder blades above his back were even more obvious.

When Pei Jingzhou noticed this, his expression changed slightly. When the water temperature was suitable, Pei Jingzhou carried Yaoyao over and let him test the water temperature again. After confirming that the water temperature was suitable, he placed him in the bathtub.

The first time he bathed a child, Pei Jingzhou was quite attentive. Although Youyou had been brought home, she was already more than four years old. Even though Pei Jingzhou was a father, it was still a little inappropriate.

The shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom in the guest bedroom were not unwrapped. Pei Jingzhou took the shower gel and opened it. He squeezed it out, lathered it, and applied it to Yaoyao. He was not very skilled, but Pei Jingzhou had tried his best to be gentle. Yaoyao said, “I can wash it myself.”

Pei Jingzhou retracted his hand. “Go ahead.”

The father and son did not say anything. Yaoyao took a shower seriously. Pei Jingzhou stood guard at the side, afraid that Yaoyao would fall into the bathtub and drown. The atmosphere was appropriately warm.

Pei Jingzhou suddenly asked, “Are you unhappy in Country T?” Yaoyao looked up at Pei Jingzhou and blinked his beautiful eyes. Pei Jingzhou asked again, “Answer me. Are you unhappy in Country T?”

Yaoyao rubbed the bubbles in his palms. “I’m happy.”

Pei Jingzhou stopped asking about this topic and changed the topic. “There are two of us here. About you wetting the bed…” When Yaoyao heard about wetting the bed, his eyes widened again, and he looked very anxious. Pei Jingzhou raised his hand to his forehead and laughed. “The first sentence of that sentence was that there are two of us here, so no one else will know.”

Yaoyao’s voice was muffled. “Stop talking.”

Pei Jingzhou asked a fatal question. “What about the wet bed sheets?”

Yaoyao looked like he was about to cry. “Think of something.”

Pei Jingzhou nodded. “I can think of a way for you, but you have to answer my next question.”

Yaoyao nodded. “Okay.”

It was a rare opportunity to coax Yaoyao and say a few more words. Pei Jingzhou naturally had to seize it. He asked, “You’re embarrassed about wetting the bed, aren’t you?

Yaoyao said, “Mm.”

Pei Jingzhou asked, “Have you wet your bed before?

Yaoyao shook his head. “No.”

Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, “Did you look for the bathroom in your dream?

Hearing this, Yaoyao suddenly looked at Pei Jingzhou in surprise. This expression was indeed too shocked. Although he did not ask, his expression silently expressed: How did you know?

Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “Remember, don’t trust any bathroom you find in your dreams in the future.”

Yaoyao didn’t quite understand. “Why?”

How could he explain it? Pei Jingzhou did not know how to explain so Yaoyao immediately understood. After some thought) he said, “Just remember this.”

Yaoyao nodded obediently. “I’ll remember.”

Pei Jingzhou continued to ask, “Do you hate the doctor today?”

“I hated it at first, but I stopped hating it later.” Yaoyao spoke his true thoughts.

Pei Jingzhou said, “He’ll come again tomorrow.”

Yaoyao didn’t react. It was obvious that he did not reject him. If he did, the subtle expression on his face would not escape Pei Jingzhou’s eyes.

Pei Jingzhou asked again, “Then do you like the capital?”

Yaoyao continued to rub the bubble in his hand. He did not think about this question for long and quickly answered Pei Jingzhou, “I like it.”

Pei Jingzhou’s expression softened. “You really like it?”

Yaoyao nodded. “Yes.”

After receiving Yaoyao’s affirmative answer, Pei Jingzhou felt a little more at ease. “Then you’ll always live in the capital.” Yaoyao asked, “Always?
