Zhong Teng held Qingbao in one hand and strode to the elevator with Mo Xiaomo’s luggage in the other hand. Seeing Mo Xiaomo stayed put, he could not help but shout, “Do you want your son?”
The deep voice, with its heavy-metal texture, drew the brain-shaking Mo Xiaomo back to reality in an instant.
“Thank you. sorry.”
Mo Xiaomo opened the door so that Zhong Teng could enter the room. Just when she put the room card into the card slot to turn on the light, the light went out just after half second.
Mo Xiaomo looked into the corridor, only the safety indicator light faintly lit and it was dark everywhere.
“Damn! There was a blackout before I went abroad, and when I just came back there was a blackout again.”
Mo Xiaomo murmured in a low voice, fumbling for the phone in her backpack. She hit the corner of the table as soon as she stepped out, and fell down straight ahead.
“Ah!” she exclaimed, thinking she was about to make an intimate contact with the carpet, but in an instant, she fell into a warm, secure embrace.
“Be careful!” Zhong Teng held Qing Bao in one hand, and Mo Xiaomo in the other hand. The familiar air in the strange body made him slightly agitated.
Zhong Teng’s heartbeat inexplicably quickened. He snuffled and involuntarily tightened his hand around Mo Xiaomo’s waist.
“Daddy hold two, good!” Qingbao touched Mo Xiaomo in Zhong Teng’s boso. His sound of excitement was as clear and crisp as the sound made by the collision of high-footed glasses.
Mo Xiaomo blushed, hurriedly pulled from the arms of Zhong Teng and kept her legs.
Fortunately, there was a blackout, otherwise her face which was as red as cooked shrimp would be seen by this lttile man and the adult man, which was very embarrassing.
Mo Xiaomo took out her mobile phone and turned on her flashlight. Zhong Teng was already sitting on the bed with Qingbao in his arms.
“Qingbao, lie down on the bed.” Mo Xiaomo’s voice sounded a little bit upset. She seldom got angry with her son because she couldn’t give him a complete family. But it did not mean that she would let Qingbao get his way.
“Qingbao wants dad to sleep with. Qingbao is afraid of the darkness.”
Qingbao spoke timidly, with a thick nasal, soft voice mixed with grievance. Hearing that, Mo Xiaomo got choked up and almost had to cry.
In the past few years, she had made every effort to give Qingbao love as a qualified mother. Qingbao had also grown up to be clever and quick-witted. Only in the dark nights of thunder and lightning bolt, this little man would shive back into her arms and ask for a hug, which now evolved into a panic as long as he was in the dark.
Mo Xiaomo knew that this was caused by the lack of fatherhood.
“Rat-tat rat-tat rat-tat”
When a crisp knock on the door sounded, Mo Xiaomo opened the half-covered door, and the hotel staff came to inform them that the circuit was burnt out and was being repaired.
After Mo Xiaomo turned around and looked back at the house, Qingbao had pulled Zhong Teng on the big bed and acted cute to her, “Mom, could you sleep with me?”
Mo Xiaomo sighed, feeling both angry and tender and protective, “He is not your father, you are being so impolite. What have I been teaching you since long before?
“All right, I will make a compromise. Just sleeping, Qingbao, good boy.” Zhong Teng, who hasn’t closed his for several nights, actually felt sleepy strongly at this moment.
Without thinking about anything else, he took Qingbao in his arms, ajusted himself to a comfortable position and closed his eyes.
This strange man obeyed Qingbao so easily, which made Mo Xiaomo dumbfounded. Was he wronged or was she wronged?
Who is wronged, when a physically weak woman like me and a little boy are in a room with a dangerous man with strong limbs and ability of attacking? She thought.
After Qingbao’s repeated pleadings, Mo Xiaomo finally compromised and turned off the flashlight of the phone and laid down.
“With a father on the left and a mom on the right, I am so happy.”
Qingbao twisted a few times in excitement, and then fell asleep.
In the darkness, a shallow breath lay between Mo Xiaomo and Zhong Teng. It was so quiet that a sound of needle’s faling could be heard.
“You can go now……”
Mo Xiaomo whispered to remind Zhong Teng for a while. But she didn’t receive a response for a long time.
Mo Xiaomo picked up her ears to hear, finding that except a shallow sound of Qingbao’s breathing, there was a heavier sound of even breathing near her ears.
This man actually fell asleep?!
