Chapter 12: Mommy's Résumé
Cheng Liyue prepared a bowl of noodles for him which the little boy obediently finished. After he had a gla.s.s of milk, Cheng Liyue bathed him. Smelling like his whole body had been lathered in fragrance, he was then ushered into his room.
The well-behaved little boy bid her goodnight, “Mommy, don't stay up too late working! I've read that it's not good to stay up late or else you'll start aging.”
“Got it.” Cheng Liyue was touched. Although he was still young, he acted like an adult, looking after her and giving her advice.
Once Cheng Liyue had shut the door, the little boy swiftly got down from his bed. He sat at his small study table and took out the résumé that Tang Weiwei had printed out for him today. He then took out his colored gel pens. Laying them all on the table, he carefully studied them.
His cognitive abilities were well-developed. At just the age of two, he had already been able to understand more than 2,000 words. His current three and a half year old mind has attained the level of knowledge comparable to that of a fifth grader.
However, writing was his biggest weakness. His sloppy handwriting was, nevertheless, still legible.
On the résumé, he wrote mommy's name, age, hobbies, and job.
He racked his brains searching for things he could write down that would extol mommy's virtues. For instance, mommy was beautiful, capable, able to cook and do the laundry and so on.
After writing all of that down, he picked up the résumé and examined it. From inside his school bag, he took out a small photo alb.u.m from which he selected a picture of Cheng Liyue to stick on the résumé.
With this, the résumé in his hand was starting to look like the real deal.
Putting away the résumé, he thought to himself that he would take it with him tomorrow to find Gong Yexiao. He would then be able to introduce his mommy to this man and let him be mommy's boyfriend.
With this fanciful notion in his head, the little boy soon drifted off to sleep.
Cheng Liyue worked until the early hours of the morning. She cracked open the door and saw the little boy sleeping soundly under the covers. She walked up to the bed and kissed him softly on the forehead. Then, she left, washed up and got in bed.
Because she was tired, she fell asleep as soon as she hit the sheets.
