Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“Can, Can,” Shen Qianshu said with a smile. Her son had usually spent a lot of time reading books. It was good that he could take some time off to play games or go outside to play. “Do you want me to bring you out to play?”

“Don’t want to.”

Except for travel, little Tong Hua had a big tendency to become a geek. He especially disliked outdoor activities. He had heart problems, and the physical classes in school had nothing to do with him. Hence, it made him dislike exercise even more.

“How about we get some sunlight downstairs?”

“Don’t want to!” Little Tong Hua took Shen Qianshu’s cell phone. “Mommy, you open the King of Glory. I help you to fight your way up.”

“... ”

Little geek, you really don’t want to consider going out to get some sunlight?

Just as Shen Qianshu was thinking of ways to pacify him to go out and get some sunlight, the doorbell rang. She walked over, opened the door, and was slightly startled. “Mom?”

Fang Xia was standing at the door and seemed a little hesitant. She was carrying a basket of fruits. Shen Qianshu was more hesitant than Fang Xia was. She looked at Fang Xia’s haggard face, and her heart softened. She thought of those years that Fang Xia had treated her well and slightly bent her body sideways. “Come in and sit.”

Little Tong Hua was sitting on the sofa playing games. When he saw Fang Xia coming in, he frowned. Fang Xia said, “I heard about what happened to you all and came over to see you all.”

This matter had become the talk of the town, and little Tong Hua’s discharge from the hospital today was also known online throughout. Little Tong Hua hated everyone from the Shen family. It was when that time he was lying on the bed subconsciously, hovering on the border of death, when he heard those vicious words. Almost all had come from Fang Xia. His memories were still fresh, and in an instant, his face did not look good.

Shen Qianshu greeted and got Fang Xia to sit. She made tea and brought it over. She had originally thought that little Tong Hua would go into his room, but who would have known that he was sitting on the sofa cross-legged, not moving an inch while playing his game. Fang Xia did not look very good. Shen Qianshu sat beside little Tong Hua, placating little Tong Hua by pinching his leg.

“Mom, thank you for coming over to visit us.”

In all these years, it was Fang Xia’s first time visiting them.

“Blame it all on your father. Otherwise, I would have come to visit you all earlier.”

When she was small, they were so close, but now they were so unfamiliar. Shen Qianshu did not know what to say at that moment. There were always differences in how close the relationships were amongst people.

“How is your wound?”

“It is just a little superficial injury, will be fine in a few days.”

“That is good.”

Asking dryly was like toothpaste that was squeezed out, and it was not substantial. Fang Xia also felt very dull. On the other hand, Shen Qianshu had complicated thoughts. She thought of the slap from her in the hospital without understanding the facts, but she also thought of that time when she had pampered her.

In all fairness, even though Shen Lin had gone back to the Shen family, in the initial first two years, the person Fang Xia had doted on the most was her, not Shen Lin.

“The last time mom had hit you, I am really sorry... ”

Tong Hua suddenly lifted his head up and stared at her angrily. What?

She hit mommy?

Who gave her the guts?

Shen Qianshu hurriedly pinched his leg, and little Tong Hua lowered his head in anger. Fang Xia did not notice little Tong Hua’s actions. Shen Qianshu said, “Mom, if you have come to see us wholeheartedly, I am very happy.”

Fang Xia’s face became red and pale intermittently. It seemed like she was hiding something. “Qianshu, can mommy talk to you alone?”

“What are you thinking of forcing my mommy to do again?” Little Tong Hua really could not control himself. The game had also ended. He lifted his head and looked at her coldly. “My mommy is embarrassed to ask, but that does not mean I am embarrassed. What have you done again? Why are you avoiding me? This is my home, and my mommy listens to me.”
