Chapter 967: In Mom’s Diary?
Seeing Fu Huai’an’s face turn dark, the little one hurriedly rested his head on Lin Nuan’s shoulder, a haughty look on his little face, clearly refusing to let go.
Fu Huai’an picked up the sweater by the sink and put it on. The father-and-son duo both wore the same white outfit, both looking equally aesthetically pleasing!
…
Inside the room, Song Yao had picked her clothes and was prepared to go to the bathroom to wash her face and change her clothes. She turned around and saw Cen Mo holding a vibrating phone in his hand. He got up from the sofa and answered the call while walking with Song Yao towards the bathroom.
With Song Yao pregnant now, Cen Mo was cautious in everything. Cen Mo was afraid Song Yao might slip in the bathroom if she went alone.
While Song Yao washed her face, Cen Mo leaned against the bathroom door and answered the call.
After washing her face, Song Yao turned around and, after seeing that Cen Mo had hung up, said, “I merely came in to wash my face, what accident could possibly happen? You placed anti-slip mats throughout the bathroom!”
After wiping the water from her face, Song Yao placed the towel back in its place and asked Cen Mo to wait for her outside. “I’m going to change my clothes. Can you wait for me outside…”
“Which part of you haven’t I seen? Why do you need to hide from me when you change your clothes?”
“Aiyah!” Song Yao said in a coquettish and delicate tone, then pushed Cen Mo out of the bathroom. Cen Mo was reluctant, so he wasn’t too cooperative.
“Hurry. Dinner is ready. Do you still want to take Tuan Tuan out to play with sparklers after dinner?”
The fireworks were a surprise Cen Mo prepared for Tuan Tuan. But if it was too late by the time they were done with dinner, it would be close to Tuan Tuan’s bedtime, and Cen Mo wouldn’t be able to play with Tuan Tuan for long.
Cen Mo was convinced by this reason. Song Yao pushed Cen Mo out of the bathroom and said to him, “In the future… you’ll surely be the greatest father in the world!”
Towards Tuan Tuan, Cen Mo was already so attentive. So Song Yao believed that if it were his own flesh and blood, Cen Mo would surely be the absolute best father in the world!
Cen Mo twisted his head and looked at Song Yao behind him, a smile in his eyes. “I’ll be the best husband too!”
After dinner, Cen Mo took Song Yao and Lin Nuan’s entire family to the vast yard to look at the sky full of fireworks. Tuan Tuan was incredibly happy, excitedly clapping his hands repeatedly.
Song Yao turned her head sideways and saw Tuan Tuan, who was being carried in Lin Nuan’s arms, smiling vibrantly, his tender little face full of smiles. She felt that Tuan Tuan looked identical to the photo of Lu Xiangsi when she was little, the photo she found in Lu Xiangsi’s mother’s diary!
His skin was especially fair, so fair that the colors of the fireworks after they had exploded in the skies easily drenched his skin. Song Yao could even see the faint blood vessels on Tuan Tuan’s skin.
Song Yao reached out and stroked Tuan Tuan’s head. “Like the surprise your uncle prepared for you?”
Tuan Tuan nodded.
Seeing Tuan Tuan so happy, Cen Mo turned around and said to Saihand, “Go and bring it here!”
Saihand nodded and went with Little Lu to get the present Cen Mo prepared for Tuan Tuan…
After a short while, Saihand and Little Lu came back with some sparklers. Cen Mo drew his hand from his pocket and took a sparkler, then used his lighter to light it up. The silver sparks bounced about, very quickly attracting Tuan Tuan’s attention…
“Want to play?” Cen Mo asked Tuan Tuan.
Tuan Tuan’s little face was filled with delight. He looked at Fu Huai’an, who was standing by the side with his hands in his pockets. Seeing Fu Huai’an nod, he nodded vigorously at Cen Mo…
“Come down!” Cen Mo smiled and said to Tuan Tuan.
Fu Huai’an stood beside Lin Nuan. Lin Nuan squatted down and set Tuan Tuan down, but the little one was still a little afraid, so his arms still clung around Lin Nuan’s neck as he reached out for a sparkler.
“Come over to Uncle!” Cen Mo squatted down and smiled at Tuan Tuan with a sparkler in his hand.
Amidst the fireworks, Cen Mo’s eyes sparkled with a smile as brilliant as the sparklers, exuding a gentleness and softness from the depths of his heart. Other than the time Cen Mo found out she was pregnant, Song Yao had rarely seen him look like this…
Tuan Tuan shrunk in Lin Nuan’s arms, smiling at Cen Mo but still not going over.
There was a doting yet helpless look in Cen Mo’s eyes. Finally, after the sparkler in his hand had finished burning, he lit up a new one and handed it to Tuan Tuan, who was nestled in Lin Nuan’s arms.
Tuan Tuan excitedly received it from him. Looking at the beautiful sparks flying before him, he turned around and smiled as he called out to Lin Nuan, “Mama!”
This was the first time Tuan Tuan smiled so excitedly. It was as if he had just discovered the New World, his eyes filled with delight.
Lin Nuan was moved by Tuan Tuan’s clear and vibrant smile as well, gentleness in her eyes.
The mother-and-son duo’s smiles were far more vibrant than the fireworks!
At that moment, Fu Huai’an wanted to become a painter so that he could record such a warm and touching scene…
Tuan Tuan held the sparkler in his hand, imitating the way Cen Mo drew two circles previously. He then extended his neck to look at Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an squatted down and stroked Tuan Tuan on the top of his head.
Little Lu lit up a sparkler and handed it to Lin Nuan, then gave another one to Fu Huai’an. He asked attentively, “Sir… want me to take a photo of you guys? My phone takes pretty awesome photos at night!”
“Okay! Thank you for the effort!” Fu Huai’an nodded.
After Little Lu helped Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an, and Tuan Tuan take a photo, Song Yao and Cen Mo joined in too. Little Lu transformed into a professional photographer, taking many pictures that night.
After Tuan Tuan went upstairs to sleep, Cen Mo asked Little Lu for the photos he took that night. After washing up and lying in bed, he couldn’t resist browsing through the photos of Tuan Tuan on his phone.
In one photo, Tuan Tuan was wearing a white sweater, holding a sparkler and running about, waving his hands, his eyes resembling the galaxies. Under the complement of the sparkler in his hands, he looked like a pretty little angel.
Song Yao turned around and saw that Cen Mo had yet to sleep, so she circled her arms around Cen Mo’s waist, leaning her head against his chest. “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
“I’m looking at Tuan Tuan’s photos!” Cen Mo hugged Song Yao, then cocked his head and planted a kiss on her hair. “Tuan Tuan really resembles Xiangsi!”
Song Yao squinted at the screen. After adjusting the screen’s brightness, she nodded. “Mm, they truly look alike…”
When Cen Mo heard this, he laughed softly. “You’ve never seen Xiangsi when she was little, so how would you know that?”
“In Mom’s diary…” Song Yao stopped mid-sentence.
“In Mom’s diary?” Cen Mo gazed at Song Yao.
Song Yao smiled. “I accidentally dropped Mom’s diary, and out fell a photo. I saw… what should have been Xiangsi when she was five or six. Do you want to see it?”
“Why have I never heard you mention it?” Cen Mo was very surprised.
Song Yao lifted the sheets and went to retrieve the photo for Cen Mo. “Pregnant women tend to have poorer memories! I took out the photo… then slotted it inside a book. Recently, if I’m free, I’d just take a look at it. They say that girls resemble their aunts. I want to see if our child will be as pretty as Xiangsi too!”
Song Yao then took out a photo of Lu Xiangsi when she was young from a book…
