In the end, he did not bother to eat. After rolling in the sheets, Shen Fu only had time to hold Lin ShuYi in his arms and kiss him on the lips before he drowsily passed out.

Lin ShuYi did not hear any talking for quite a while and when he looked up, he found that Shen Fu had already fallen asleep.

He gently struggled out of Shen Fu’s arms. Shen Fu reflexively tightened his arms for a moment before he let Lin ShuYi leave his embrace.

Lin ShuYi bent down and took a close look at Shen Fu’s face. It was really as he had seen at the beginning. Shen Fu clearly seemed a little haggard because of a serious lack of sleep.

He wanted to know what Shen Fu was hiding from him, but he did not really want to ask upon seeing how tired Shen Fu was. He could tell how sincere a person was. Lin ShuYi thought to himself, Shen Fu liked him as much as he liked Shen Fu, so it was not so important to know what he was hiding in the end. He would surely tell him one day after clearly keeping him on tenterhooks.

However, he was still a little distressed on seeing Shen Fu so fatigued. Looking at the clock next to him, he found that more than an hour had passed. It was already after seven o’clock in the morning. Lin ShuYi tugged on his loose clothes and went into the bathroom.

He did not intentionally wear Shen Fu’s clothes. He just missed him a little.

He found that the little bun in the opposite room was awake when he finished washing. The bun was standing in his little bed in his thin cotton romper as he called out to his brother, “Big Brother~”

Xiao Yu poked his downy head out from the quilt. His eyes were still a bit sleep-hazed, “Hmm? Is Tao Tao awake?”

Tao Tao held the bars of his cradle and turned happily twice to express his sense of existence.

Xiao Yu was amused. He ruffled his slightly messy hair, before lifting the quilt and sitting up. Then he reached out and lifted Tao Tao out of the cradle. Though he was not very strong, he was still extremely cautious when holding Tao Tao. Then he put Tao Tao on the ground. Tao Tao reached out and held his brother’s finger and pulled his Big Brother as he walked towards the door.

Xiao Yu reached out and held his brother’s hand. He did not need to think to know where he was going.

“We don’t know if Daddy is awake. Would Tao Tao like to play in the room first?”

Tao Tao did not really understand Xiao Yu words very well. He only knew that he had said the word Daddy, thus his steps became even more perky. He walked to the door and stopped, then he slapped the door with his cotton-padded hand as he looked at Xiao Yu, “Open, Daddy~”

Xiao Yu was helpless and could only open the door. Tao Tao continued to hold his Big Brother’s hand as he walked towards Lin ShuYi’s room.

As soon as he reached the door, it opened from inside and Lin ShuYi poked his head out from behind. Tao Tao stared in surprise with widened eyes. Then he threw himself into Lin ShuYi’s arms, “Daddy~”

Lin ShuYi kissed Tao Tao on his forehead, then turned his head and kissed Xiao Yu, “Daddy Shen is back. Does Xiao Yu want to go in and have a look?”

Xiao Yu eyes’s also widened, “Daddy Shen is back? When did he come back?”

Lin ShuYi replied, “This morning. He’s sleeping now.”

Xiao Yu had already taken a step. When he heard what Lin ShuYi said, he put his foot back, “Is Daddy Shen still sleeping? Let’s wait until he’s awake then.

“It doesn’t matter,” Lin ShuYi said with a smile. “He’s sleeping soundly. You can go in and give him a kiss him and come out again.”

Xiao Yu nodded and went in happily.

The room has been tidied hastily by Lin ShuYi. Shen Fu lay face-down on the bed and was sleeping deeply. Xiao Yu leaned over and kissed Shen Fu firmly on his face. Shen Fu did not stir at all. Xiao Yu found it amusing, so he kissed Shen Fu a few times on the other cheek. Tao Tao twisted his body and crawled down from Lin ShuYi’s arms. Learning from his Big Brother’s actions, Tao Tao also climbed onto the bed and gave Shen Fu a few wet kisses.

Then Lin ShuYi carried Tao Tao off the bed and went into the bathroom to wash his face and rinse his mouth. With each hand holding one, they went for breakfast.

No one had eaten the breakfast made for Shen Fu this morning. So, Aunt Chen warmed up the porridge again and added a variety of steamed buns. A custard bun that smelt of milk for Tao Tao, the fresh meat and mushroom buns that Xiao Yu liked, and a vegetable with dried plum steamed bun for Lin ShuYi. With a few boiled eggs, it was a nutritious and plentiful breakfast.

After breakfast, Lin ShuYi packed Xiao Yu’s schoolbag and sent him to school. Tao Tao’s clothes were changed and his hand was held by Aunt Chen as he went to the XiQin Restaurant with Lin ShuYi.

It was not until noon that Shen Fu woke up. The room was dark and the scent of Lin ShuYi’s shower gel lingered in the air. Shen Fu turned over drunkenly as his stomach let out an untimely grumble.

The phone rang at this moment, like it had a telepathic connection.

Shen Fu narrowed his eyes as he answered. His voice was a little hoarse, “Hello.”

“Are you awake? Get up and eat something before going to sleep again. I’ve made some food, come and eat after you’ve washed your face and rinsed your mouth.”

Shen Fu was brimming with happiness in an instant. He gave a hum of agreement before he made a kissing sound into the phone. There was no movement on the other side for a long time. Finally, Lin ShuYi said, “Hurry up.”

Then he hung up in a hurry, as if he were shy.

The XiQin Restaurant was just as crowded as it was in the past. Many customers had become regulars and even if they stayed far away, many still chose to drive over with their families to eat here when they had the time.

Most of the frequent regulars knew about the relationship between Shen Fu and Lin ShuYi. When they saw Shen Fu, they would greet him with a smile. Shen Fu responded to each of them before entering the kitchen.

Lin ShuYi was wearing an apron. His slender hand that did not have the slightest hint of femininity hand ladled the dishes out onto a plate. The brilliant red dish looked delicious and seemed to go well with rice.
