My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

"Knock knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

When Niu Niu was 4 years old, she started sleeping alone. Her parents respected this and would always knock on the door before entering and only go in after getting a response.

"Niu Niu, are you asleep?"

Looking at the light shining through the crack in the door, Zhou Wei knew his daughter was still awake.

"Dad, I'm not asleep."

Niu Niu lifted the blanket and got out of bed, then covered Le Bao up again.

She opened the door a crack, preventing her father from entering.

"Niu Niu, have you seen Le Bao? She's gone."

Niu Niu, who has never been good at lying, looked around hesitantly.

She didn't want to see the adults anxious, but she also didn't want her sister to leave. She wanted to continue playing with her sister and even sleep with her.

Shen Shilan could tell that the little girl was conflicted, so Le Bao might be here.

His anxiety subsided considerably.

"Niu Niu, can Uncle come in and take a look?"

Shen Shilan asked softly.

Although it wasn't appropriate to go into the little girl's room, he had to catch that runaway chubby boy and give her a good spanking.

"Uncle, come in."

Niu Niu felt embarrassed to refuse, so she opened the door and let Shen Shilan and Zhou Wei in.

Shen Shilan immediately noticed the movement on the bed.

You little rascal!

"Where did you go, Le Bao? Where are you? Uncle can't find you."

Shen Shilan pretended not to be able to find the little one and deliberately told her about it.

"Gaga gaga gaga".

Suddenly, a series of loud laughs came from under the covers, followed by the blankets shaking incessantly.

Shen Shilan was already used to the chubby boy's antics.

"Found it! Good, you actually hid here."

Shen Shilan threw off the blanket, and what came into view was the little chubby boy's face, which was red from lack of air circulation, and a pile of snacks and empty snack bags next to him.

Shen Shilan no longer knew how to describe this chubby boy; he had already eaten three times in just a few hours.

"Why are you running around so late at night instead of sleeping? Do you know how frantic your uncle has been looking for you?"

Shen Shilan held her in his arms and gently slapped her bottom twice.

"Baby is amazing, Uncle can't find you."

Well, they're still caught up in the evening's game of hide-and-seek.

"Alright, the game's over. Time to go to sleep."

Shen Shilan picked up Le Bao and prepared to leave.

"No elbow, no hug from uncle."

The little guy suddenly jerked up and almost fell off Shen Shilan's hands.

"Be good, or I'll call your mother."

Shen Shilan put in extra effort, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to hold the little guy.

Just then, Shen Wanning called in via video.

She had calculated that it was about time for the chubby boy to go to sleep.

Shen Shilan could only put Le Bao back on the bed and take out her phone to answer the video call.

"Where's Le Bao?"

The first thing Shen Wanning said after the video call connected was to ask where her chubby daughter was.

"Here."

Shen Shilan pointed the camera at Le Bao.

"Le Bao, can you see Mommy?"

Shen Wanning noticed the clothes she was wearing and guessed that they must have been borrowed.

"Mommy, Mommy."

Le Bao snatched the phone from Shen Shilan's hand and hugged it to talk to her mother.

"Why aren't you asleep yet? Have you been a good boy/girl today? Have you listened to your uncle?"

"Be a good baby, be obedient."

The chubby boy could spout these kinds of lies without hesitation.

"hehe."

Shen Shilan chuckled, indicating his disagreement.

"Uncle is being naughty, so stop nagging."

The chubby boy waved to Shen Shilan, telling him to go away.

Shen Wanning knew immediately that her little chubby son must have done something again.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while before Le Bao remembered to ask Lu Chenyue:

"Where's Daddy? Is he asleep yet?"

Shen Wanning turned her phone towards Lu Chenyue.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Lu Chenyue looked unwell, Le Bao asked him what was wrong.

Lu Chenyue glanced at Le Bao with a resentful look, then forced himself to remain calm and uttered two words indifferently: "It's nothing."

Before the video call, Shen Wanning and Lu Chenyue made a bet on whether and when Le Bao would ask him about it.

Before starting, Lu Chenyue was still confident. Although he and his daughter sometimes had some friction, he spent a lot of time with her. In any case, his daughter would definitely ask about him.

As a result, she did ask, but after the mother and daughter chatted for more than ten minutes and were about to finish, she remembered that she had a father.

"Alright, give the phone to your uncle. It's getting late, go to sleep."

"Brother, Le Bao doesn't sleep well; she tends to kick off the covers. You shouldn't sleep too soundly at night."

After giving her instructions, Shen Wanning hung up the phone without hesitation.

"I heard you, your mom wants you to go to bed early. Let's go."

Shen Shilan put her phone in her pocket and, regardless of whether the chubby boy wanted to or not, forcibly carried him away.

"Niu Niu, go to bed early."

After giving his daughter his instructions, Zhou Wei left as well.

Chengcheng's father had already gone back to his room to be with his son when he discovered Lebao.

Back in the room, Le Bao tried to escape, but Shen Shilan wrapped him in a blanket like a silkworm cocoon, rendering him unable to move.

"Go to sleep, it's very late. Whose good child is up so late? Be careful, the big bad wolf might come and eat the child."

"Hmph, there's no big bad wolf, Uncle's lying."

This won't fool her anymore.

"Close your eyes and go to sleep."

Shen Shilan turned off the light, hugged the little one wrapped in the blanket, and forced her to sleep.

The uncle and nephew struggled for a long time, but in the end, Le Bao gave up and fell asleep first.

Shen Shilan saw that the little devil had finally fallen asleep, and when she checked the time, it was past midnight.

Okay, he admitted he was having a hard time keeping up with the chubby kid's energy.

After letting Le Bao out of the blanket, Shen Shilan pulled the blanket over herself, then hugged her niece and fell asleep.

"Ugh... I feel nauseous..."

In the middle of the night, Shen Shilan was awakened by Le Bao's voice.

He groped around in the dark and touched something wet, followed by Le Bao's crying.

He quickly turned on the light, and there was Le Bao sitting on the bed, crying loudly.

The little guy's pajamas were rolled up to his chest, exposing most of his belly. His body, the sheets, and the blankets were covered in Le Bao's vomit.

"What's wrong, baby? Don't scare your uncle."

Ignoring the vomit, Shen Shilan picked up Le Bao and wrapped her in a blanket.

Le Bao was still crying with her eyes closed, and she didn't answer him.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

There was a knock on the door, and Zhou Wei and his wife rushed over upon hearing the sound.

Don't ask why they reacted so quickly. For any parent who cares about their child, this is the most basic reaction.

"She threw up a lot."

Shen Shilan opened the door, her bare feet stepping on the cold floor.

"Let me see."

The proprietress walked in and looked at what Le Bao had vomited.

"The child ate too much; his tummy will probably get cold tonight."

The landlady took Le Bao from the blanket and, sure enough, the child's clothes were all pulled up on it.

She tore off Le Bao's clothes, wrapped them in a blanket, and even covered her feet with it.

"It's nothing. I'll go make some warm soup and grab some digestive medicine. Honey, could you change the things on the bed?"

The couple divided the work and quickly changed the dirty sheets and duvet covers on the bed to clean ones.

"Come on, give the child some hot soup."

The proprietress boiled some jujube water with some Chinese medicine added.

"Baby, drink some hot water, it will make you feel better."

Shen Shilan fed the child hot water and some medicine to help him disappear. Fortunately, the medicine was sweet, so Le Bao was able to swallow it.

"Okay, everything should be fine now. Just be careful tonight and make sure the child doesn't catch a cold. Call us if anything happens."

By the time everything was packed up, it was almost 4 a.m.

"Okay, thank you."

After seeing the boss and his wife off, Shen Shilan didn't dare to sleep at all.

He sat on the bed, holding Le Bao in his arms, gently patting her, and sat like that until dawn.

Fortunately, Le Bao did not have a fever or vomit again.

However, this was tough on Shen Shilan. He looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes resembling those of a panda.

No wonder, no wonder my sister wished him good luck, and he will never try to be a hero again.

That's terrible.
