Chapter 334 I wish she could crawl out of my belly
Reading Settings
It's impossible for Qiao Changdong to sleep separately from Qiao Qiao.
In this world, the only person who can give Qiao Qiao a 100% sense of security is Qiao Changdong.
It would be a waste for the father and daughter to share a room, and adding another person would seem a bit strange no matter who it was. Only adding Shen Qingyan would seem less awkward.
After all, these two are Qiao Qiao's fathers, so it's barely acceptable for them to sleep with her.
It would seem strange and inappropriate for anyone else to sleep with the father and daughter, no matter who it is.
So in the end, the father and his two daughters were assigned to one room.
Shen Qingyan had been busy ever since he arrived in Baoyi City. He might not have been that busy at first, but at that time Qiao Qiao hadn't recognized him yet, so naturally she refused to sleep in the same room with him.
After admitting it, Shen Qingyan became busy with the anti-gang operation, leaving early and returning late every day, which made him even less likely to have any opportunities.
This was the first time Qiao Qiao had slept in the same bed with her two fathers.
They had shared a room in the old tenement building, but Qiao Changdong would usually sleep in the bed with Qiao Qiao, while Shen Qingyan would sleep on a makeshift bed on the floor next to his daughter.
I've never slept in the same bed like this before.
Qiao Qiao now takes a bath with Yan Lidi's help. After the bath, Yan Lidi changes her into a new cotton nightgown, kisses her soft, fragrant cheeks several times, and then reluctantly carries her to bed.
"Baby, are you really not going to sleep with Grandma?" Yan Liti was really reluctant to put down her sweet and soft little granddaughter, and asked her again and again before leaving the room.
Qiao Qiao blinked her big eyes, but didn't answer. Instead, she leaned in and kissed Yan Liti's cheek.
Then she grinned foolishly with her little mouth.
Yan Liti had no choice but to hug and kiss him again, then go to the bathroom to clean up the mess before leaving the room.
Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan were waiting outside.
Seeing Yan Liti come out, the two walked in one after the other.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a small bundle under the big quilt on the bed, with a mischievous cricket pupa scurrying around inside.
Seeing that the little bundle was about to emerge from the blanket, Qiao Changdong immediately went over and held down the two corners of the blanket at the head of the bed.
At the same time, he gestured to Shen Qingyan with his chin, signaling him to hurry over and hold down the other end of the blanket.
The four corners of the blankets on the large bed were all held down.
The little guy wandered around inside for quite a while, but failed to successfully emerge as a pupa.
He called out anxiously, "Dad?"
Her soft, sweet voice, muffled and hushed beneath the blankets, sounded especially adorable.
Qiao Changdong teased her on purpose, asking in a high-pitched voice, "Which dad?"
The little guy was quiet for a while, seemingly deep in thought.
A few seconds later, the clever little one replied, "He's my dad who loves me the most."
"..." Qiao Changdong.
Meanwhile, Shen Qingyan, who was on the other side of the bed, couldn't hold back any longer. Afraid that his precious daughter would be uncomfortable, he pulled back the blanket and hugged the little body, who was sticking her little bottom out and burying her head in the blanket.
"Are you feeling unwell?" He tenderly brushed away the hair that had fallen across her forehead and was obscuring her eyes.
The little girl's face was rosy, whether from being covered by the blanket or from taking a bath, it was hard to tell.
With a few tufts of hair still sticking out of her head, she clearly had a lot of fun, and answered with bright, sparkling eyes, "I don't feel uncomfortable."
Qiao Changdong, standing to the side, expressed his displeasure at Shen Qingyan's 'traitorous' behavior.
She retorted irritably, "Chief Shen, what do you mean by that? Do you think I would make my precious baby uncomfortable?!"
"I can tell from your eyes that you still don't have enough experience taking care of your baby. You have no idea how much your baby loved playing this game when he was little. He always had a lot of fun playing it."
What Qiao Changdong said is true.
Qiao Qiao really enjoys this game of hide-and-seek under the covers.
Every time the blanket is put over her head, she can crawl around inside it for several minutes.
He pretended not to be able to find her outside, calling out to her anxiously. After half a minute, he would suddenly pull back the covers and shout, "Got you!" The little one would be amused and laugh for several minutes.
I was so happy.
Shen Qingyan then realized that he had been worrying too much.
Seeing that the little one looked like she hadn't had enough fun, he could only helplessly and affectionately put her back.
Then the two dads played hide-and-seek with the little girl for another ten minutes until she was too tired to make a fuss anymore. Only then did they lift the blanket and put her down on the bedside table.
The little girl lay under the dark blue blanket, only her pretty little face showing. Her face was rosy from playing, making her even more adorable.
She pulled her little arms out from under the covers, patted the sides of her body, and enthusiastically invited the two grown men: "Daddy, go to sleep."
For some reason, Qiao Qiao felt excited looking at her two tall and long-legged fathers on either side of the bed, as if she were a child about to sleep between her parents.
She kept looking at this and that, and then excitedly rolled around in bed a couple more times.
Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan are, after all, two grown men, so it's naturally awkward for them to sleep in the same bed.
But seeing his daughter, who had been listless and lacking energy lately, so unusually happy today, Qiao Changdong couldn't care less about his awkwardness. He took off his coat and lay down in bed.
At the same time, he said to Shen Qingyan, "You go wash up first. I'll coax her to sleep first, and then I'll wash up after she falls asleep."
Shen Qingyan nodded.
Just as she was about to turn around and go to the bathroom to wash up, she heard Qiao Qiao crisply refuse: "No, I want Daddy to sleep with me. Daddy, come up here quickly."
Shen Qingyan naturally wouldn't refuse his daughter's invitation, and immediately took off his coat and lay down inside.
The bed is a two-meter-wide bed.
But it was really a bit cramped for two big men to lie down.
It's also very strange.
Both fathers looked a little embarrassed.
However, Qiao Qiao was clearly unaware of this awkwardness.
She was especially happy.
That kind of happiness.
She was like a little rascal, unable to stay still. Every now and then she would snuggle into Qiao Changdong's arms, hug his neck, and give him a kiss.
A moment later, he wandered over to Shen Qingyan and gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.
She even had Qiao Changdong read fairy tales to her.
She was in pain for half an hour, until 10 o'clock, far past her usual bedtime, before she reluctantly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The little girl was asleep, her long eyelashes resting on her eyelids, her little face rosy, as beautiful as the most beautiful little princess in the world.
Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan just stared at each other, neither of them willing to look away.
Qiao Changdong lowered his voice and said with heartache, "Ever since she had that dream, she has been unhappy. It's rare to see her so happy today."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I really wish she had crawled out of my belly."
Shen Qingyan didn't speak, but his large hand, which was gently stroking the little girl's head, suddenly paused.
