Chapter 30: 'Dad said he's not jealous.' (2)
Chapter 30 – “Dad said he’s not jealous.” (2)
Since Ruan Xia had watched the chubby kid for the entire day, she decisively handed him off to Song Tingshen after dinner. She showered then laid in bed while playing phone games.
Soon after, the chubby kid, who had gotten a bath, came to Ruan Xia’s room. When little kids were sick, they would want their mom. Although he had recovered from his fever, after his mom had taken care of him during the past two days, he had become increasingly dependent on her.
Although she told herself that she wasn’t interested in being this chubby kid’s mother, she knew that right now she was his nominal mom. She couldn’t be someone that ask others to work while doing nothing herself. Besides, this little kid was very likable.
Still, after only being his mom for a few days, Ruan Xia already felt that she absolutely had no desire to get married and have children even if that was her current situation.
Sure enough, moms had to be superhuman, especially competent and responsible moms.
Anyways, Ruan Xia had only played with this chubby kid for a few days, and she was already questioning her life. She truly felt that mothers were very admirable!
Ruan Xia was sitting crossed-legged in bed. She very seriously asked, “Who did you used to sleep with in the past?”
The chubby kid, who was sitting across from her on the bed, wanted to copy her posture. Unfortunately, the skill level was slightly too high for him. He could only give up. He thought about it before answering, “With dad and also with the housekeeper aunty.”
Ruan Xia nodded. “You’re not worried that dad will get jealous if you sleep with me every night?”
Although this chubby kid was very cute, she still wanted to sleep by herself. It was much more comfortable to sleep alone. The chubby kid kept to an unusually strict self-imposed sleeping schedule. He would go to sleep around 9PM and wake up before 6 AM every day.
Although Ruan Xia wasn’t a night owl, she really couldn’t make herself fall asleep at 9PM. Each night, she would wait until the chubby kid was asleep before using her phone to do stuff like scrolling down her friend’s list in Weibo. At the earliest, she wouldn’t fall asleep until 11PM. The next morning, when she was still dreaming, the chubby kid would wake up, and he would wake her up too. She hadn’t been regularly waking up this early since high school….
How was she supposed to sleep in if he was here?
This was obviously the first time that this chubby kid heard the word jealousy.
Ruan Xia was pretty good at tricking kids. “In the past, you used to frequently sleep with dad. Now, it seems like you don’t want dad anymore and only want to sleep with mom. Dad will feel upset and jealous. Besides, you’re a guy, and so is dad. Guys should sleep with guys, right?”
“You don’t want to sleep with me.” Looking as if he had been bullied, the chubby kid pointed at her. “Your heart doesn’t have me. I want to sleep with you, but you don’t want to sleep with me.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to. I’m just worried that dad will be jealous. Mom doesn’t want your dad to be jealous.” Ruan Xia’s ability to invert right and wrong was also very strong. “Men that are jealous are really pitiful.”
“Really?” the chubby kid half-believed and half-doubted her. “But when I came over here, dad didn’t say anything. He didn’t stop me either.”
Without any guilt, Ruan Xia tried to blacken Song Tingshen’s image. “Who knows, he might be feeling sad right now because he thinks you don’t like him anymore.”
Sure enough, the chubby kid got duped by her. After thinking it over and because of Ruan Xia putting him up to it, he took his little pillow and got out of the bed. He toddled over to the neighboring room to look for his dad. Of course, he went there with determination and to also comfort his pitiful dad.
Little Song Shuyan had spent more time with his dad than his mom since he was born. He liked his mom, but he also liked his dad a lot. Hearing that his dad was upset and sad, he had become worried. Thus, he rushed over to his dad’s room like he had been shot out of a cannon.
