Kang Chen tossed and turned; he just couldn't go bring Ming Mei back again, or else that kid Xizeer would surely despise him.
Five minutes later, Kang Chen really couldn't fall asleep, so he simply sat up and went out.
Soon he returned with a little one in his arms.
Kang Chen laid down with Yousheng in his arms, saying, "Your mom went to sleep with your brother, so it's just us making do together."
Yousheng was sleeping soundly, his fingers still in his mouth, and his chubby little face looked especially endearing.
Kang Chen reached out to pull Yousheng's tiny paw from his mouth and, cuddling his son's soft little body, he fell asleep.
...
At 7 o'clock, Xizeer woke up on time.
When he opened his eyes, Ming Mei was still asleep.
Her long hair was scattered on the pillow, her cheeks were rosy, and her skin was delicate and smooth, looking... just like a little girl, not at all like a mother of two children.
Xizeer tilted his head to look at Ming Mei.
