Bun: "Borrowing arrows with straw boats, that's the story Mom said she'd tell us tonight."
"Alright, let's tell the story of borrowing arrows with straw boats."
Her beautiful eyes shimmering with laughter, Kang Li nodded. Soon, her gentle voice filled the room.
The three buns listened with absolute focus.
When Kang Li finished the story and asked questions, all three answered brilliantly.
"Okay, that's tonight's story. You can close your eyes and go to sleep now."
As Kang Li spoke softly with a smile, the three buns obediently closed their eyes.
"Mom, sing Flying Insects..."
Guoguo gave a dainty little yawn, clearly dead sleepy, but still mumbled her request.
"Alright!" Kang Li's gaze was gentle as she looked at her little girl. She agreed and began to softly sing: "The dark sky hangs low, the bright stars follow..."
Truth be told, Kang Li's singing was both soft and ethereal. Not long after, the three buns drifted off into deep sleep.

Main bedroom.
