Chapter 233: Chapter 233

Ji Rui sat in the kindergarten duty room waiting for Ji Baby, and from a distance, he saw Baby bouncing with a little backpack. Ji Rui stood up and walked out.

When Baby saw him, he ran over and jumped into his arms.

Ji Rui squatted down and hugged Baby, who ran into his arms at full speed, steadily.

"Was Baby good today?"

He lovingly rubbed Baby’s hair and kissed him twice on the top of his head.

Baby lifted his head from Ji Rui’s arms, his expression changed, "Daddy, what happened to your forehead?"

His small hand gently reached out.

Ji Rui caught his hand and kissed it lightly on the fingertip, "It’s nothing, just got hit by a brick."

Ji Baby pulled his hand free, reaching again to touch the bandage, and in an instant, his black eyes were filled with anger.

"Did that bastard bully my Daddy?!"

Ji Rui could clearly feel his beloved son’s body stiffen in his arms. In that moment, Ji Rui felt that the grievances and injuries he suffered from the old man were thoroughly comforted by his son’s domineering and protective words.

A thirty-year-old man, in a public place, didn’t care if others thought it was strange at all, and just buried his head on Baby’s small shoulder, taking a deep breath.

At this moment, his hatred for the old man lessened considerably because of Baby.

Six years ago, if the old man hadn’t insisted, today Ji Rui wouldn’t have had such a considerate and manly baby boy to love and care for him.

"Daddy... does it hurt a lot?"

Ji Baby gently patted Ji Rui’s back and softly asked.

Ji Rui lifted his head from Baby’s shoulder, gently pushed the little guy away, and the father and son faced each other, looking at the face so similar to his own, Ji Rui was a bit moved, "Baby, Daddy doesn’t hurt!"

Ji Baby stood on tiptoe and gently kissed the bandage on his forehead, "A kiss, it won’t hurt..."

His tone was like coaxing a cute little Baby.

"Hmm, it really doesn’t hurt anymore..." Ji Rui smiled, trying hard to put on a reassuring smile for Baby.

Ji Rui picked up Baby, but Baby struggled, insisting on walking by himself.

"Daddy, you’re hurt, Baby can walk on his own."

It seems the little guy is still very worried about Daddy’s injury.

"Baby is so well-behaved!" Ji Rui was gratified by his son’s sensibility, holding Baby’s hand, they walked out of the school gate.

"Sister said, Daddy works hard, and Baby should take good care of Daddy."

Baby shook his little hand, looking up at Ji Rui earnestly.

Ji Rui was taken aback, "Sister really said that? How come Daddy didn’t hear?"

Every evening during Baby’s phone time with Le Tong, Ji Rui was practically always sitting beside him. Whether Le Tong knew that or not, Ji Rui was not clear, but he knew everything Le Tong said to his son. Official source is novęlfire.net

What should have been a meeting for two became a meeting for three.

"Sister said so on the phone to Baby before!"

Ji Baby had a good memory; anything said to him by people he cares about, whether Ji Rui or Le Tong, he remembered clearly.

With Ji Rui injured, Baby was very careful and obedient.

Usually, right when they got in the car, he would automatically crawl onto Ji Rui’s lap and play. Today, however, he sat quietly beside Ji Rui, gently leaning against his arm.

This behavior from Baby was both comforting and heartbreaking for Ji Rui.

For Ji Rui, having such a son was enough.

At this moment, Ji Rui wanted to hold his son tightly, as if there were some amazing power in his son that could help him recover his energy.

Baby hesitated for a moment and pointed to his forehead, "Daddy, you’re injured."

Ji Rui smiled and reached out to put him on his lap, "Daddy’s injury is on the forehead, not the thigh."

Sitting on his lap, Ji Baby didn’t dare move around like usual but quietly leaned in his arms, his little face full of worry.

Ji Rui held Ji Baby tightly, and before he knew it, after a whole day of being busy, he slowly felt sleepy, closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep.

In his dream, the sky was blue, the sea the same color, the sun bright, and the sand soft and smooth. He was sitting on a chaise under a parasol, squinting, watching from afar as a mischievous and lovely Baby played with another woman in short sleeves and shorts chasing each other in the shallow water area. The woman’s silver bell-like laughter and Baby’s noisy yelling, combined with the sound of gentle waves lapping at the shore, formed a pleasing symphony playing melodiously in his ears.

The woman’s satin-like black hair fluttered behind her, running and suddenly turning back to smile brightly at him from a distance, a smile more brilliant and dazzling than the sun in the blue sky, and that person was none other than Le Tong...

A gentle sea breeze brushed across his face, yet he was happily lost in that brilliant smile, unwilling to wake up for a long time.

When he woke up, all around was dark. The blue sky and sea were gone, as were the soft sand and gentle waves, and the woman who turned back with a radiant smile while playing in the water had disappeared too. Only the mischievous and lovely Baby was there, leaning in closer, his ink-black eyes especially bright in the darkness.

"Daddy, are you awake?"

Baby touched his face and asked softly.

Ji Rui twisted his neck, "Baby, how long did Daddy sleep for?"

"Almost eight o’clock..."

Ji Rui let out a sound and hurriedly sat up straight with Baby in his arms.

"Xiao Li, why didn’t you wake me?"

Ji Rui opened the door, slightly complaining.

Xiao Li glanced at Ji Baby, "The young master said you were tired and should sleep a bit longer."

All the dissatisfaction in Ji Rui’s heart turned instantly into infinite tenderness, and he leaned down to give his beloved son a heavy kiss on the lips.

"Daddy, can you come with Baby to buy clothes tomorrow?"

Ji Rui was taken aback again, hadn’t Le Tong bought quite a lot of clothes then?

"Didn’t Baby already buy lots of clothes?"

As soon as he said it, Ji Rui regretted it a bit and quickly added, "Since Baby wants to buy, Daddy will come with you. Later, you can note down what things you want to eat, wear, use, or play with, and Daddy will buy them for you."

Right now, even if Baby said he wanted a helicopter, Ji Rui would probably nod and agree, buy buy buy!

"It’s not Baby who wants to buy, Baby wants to buy for Daddy."

Ji Rui was overjoyed and was about to say something when he heard Ji Baby speak again.

"Sister said if Daddy changed from wearing suits and shirts to dressing a bit more stylishly, he would definitely look even better than those film stars..."

Ji Rui was shocked. Just what kind of nonsense had Le Tong been talking to his son?!

However, even as he silently scolded in his heart, Ji Rui couldn’t help feeling a bit delighted.

After all, anyone would feel a bit pleased and comfortable after being praised for being handsome, right?
