Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

When Fu Lingye came out of the study room, he walked past the kid's bedroom. He saw Mu Tongrui holding Sweetheart in her arms, telling her a story.

The man stood at the door for a long time without disturbing the pair.

Perhaps it was because the scene was too heartwarming, Fu Lingye could not bear to disturb. Only when Sweetheart, in her cartoon pyjamas, fell asleep on Mu Tongrui's chest, Mu Tongrui lightly petted the back of the little one, and carefully put the storybook away. Just as she was ready to snuggle with Sweetheart to sleep, Fu Lingye walked in.

Fu Lingye picked Mu Tongrui up from the child's bed in a sweep. Mu Tongrui let out a small squeak of surprise, and asked softly, “Lingye? You're done with your work?”

Fu Lingye let out a soft hum while carrying her out of the kid's bedroom.

Mu Tongrui struggled a little, “Let me down, I promised Sweetheart that I will sleep with her tonight. If she does not see me there tomorrow morning, she will definitely be upset!”

“If you accompany Sweetheart tonight, who will accompany me?” He asked in all seriousness.

Mu Tongrui blushed, “You're a grown man, why are you fighting with Sweetheart?”

Fu Lingye had always been a light sleeper. Especially since 10 years ago when Qiao Sang passed on, in the first few years of suffering from depression, he had insomnia. Even with the help of sleeping pills, it was common for him to pull all-nighters. His temper had been much better past 3 years thanks to Sweetheart, and so had his insomnia, but he could not fall into a deep sleep.

However, Fu Lingye realized that when he slept with Mu Tongrui in his arms, he would sleep particularly well.

“Compared to Sweetheart, I need you more. I need you in my arms for me to fall asleep.”

“.....”

This unexpected sentence sent ripples through Mu Tongrui's heart.

Although Fu Lingye had a serious expression when he said the sentence, Mu Tongrui could almost taste the sweetness. It was not sweet nothings, but they were more useful than honeyed words between lovers.

“Then wake me up earlier tomorrow morning so I can sneak back into Sweetheart's room.” Mu Tongrui was all too aware of how Sweetheart was like Fu Lingye, and was not a morning person. If Sweetheart did not see her tomorrow morning, the little one would definitely get mad.
