Tang Wan felt somewhat dizzy, and even when she arrived at the door of the house, she still looked confused.
“What are you dazing out for? Get the keys,” said Jiang Jinsang as he released her hand, closed the umbrella, and leaned against the wall.
He looked down at her, her face red, her eyes red, indescribably soft and tender, he almost couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheeks.
The old house had an independent courtyard, and the doors faced outward. The courtyard walls were not high, and sometimes if they were out for too long, they’d lock the door.
“Uhm,” Tang Wan just snapped back to reality and started rummaging through her bag for the keys.
Having drunk too much, even with her wits about her, her body was not entirely under control. Coupled with the dim light, she just couldn’t align the keys with the lock hole.
The more hurried she was, the less she could insert them.
With the courage from the alcohol, she said directly, “Jinsang, could you move aside a bit? You’re blocking the light.”
Jiang Jinsang, feeling helpless, thought it was funny that she blamed him for blocking the light when she was the one who drank too much. He stepped forward slightly, took hold of her hand firmly, and easily inserted the key into the lockhole. With a gentle twist, the lock opened.
“There, isn’t that better?” Jiang Jinsang said with a hint of laughter in his voice.
He watched her, his smile gentle and doting.
But at this moment, Tang Wan couldn’t think too much about it. She just felt that he was laughing, seemingly mocking her for being foolish.
“Thank you,” Tang Wan quickly withdrew her hand from his palm and pushed open the door with the key.
“You have a good rest, later…”
Jiang Jinsang didn’t even finish saying “good night” when all of a sudden—”Bang—” the door was slammed shut, even knocking down the umbrella that was leaning against it.
He was completely shut out.
Jiang Jinsang touched his nose unconsciously. Was she shy?
After returning to her room, Tang Wan regretted having grabbed Jiang Jinsang’s clothes earlier, wondering how it mysteriously turned into the two of them walking back hand in hand.

Separated only by a wall, Jiang Jinsang was in a pretty good mood tonight. He took a quick bath and had just picked up his phone when he noticed there were two missed video calls.
It was already past ten at night; why was this little guy still not asleep?
He replied with a message: [Not asleep yet?]
Soon, the video call came through again, but when he answered, what faced him was someone’s little bottom. Jiang Jinsang furrowed his brow, “What are you doing?”
“Uncle!” The little guy immediately grabbed the phone and pointed it at his own face.
Jiang Jinsang noticed then that he was wearing autumn clothes and pants with Crayon Xiaoxin’s pattern on them, and was barefoot, busily packing up his clothes.
“This late, what are you busy with?” Jiang Jinsang raised his eyebrow.
“Packing stuff.”
He earnestly folded the clothes and stuffed them into his little backpack.
“Are you planning to run away from home?” Jiang Jinsang quirked an eyebrow, knowing that if it were for a trip or something, it definitely wouldn’t be up to him to pack, especially not this late at night.
“Uncle, how much money do I need to prepare to go to your place?”
“To my place?”
Before Jiang Jinsang could respond, the little guy had already turned around to grab his little piggy bank, sticking his bottom out towards him, seemingly weighing how much money was inside.
“Uncle, is it cold over there? What clothes should I wear when I come over?”

Jiang Jinsang pinched the bridge of his nose, “Can you not face me with your bottom?”
“Oh, sorry.” The little guy adjusted the camera again, “Uncle, my dad installed surveillance in my room. Today, when I messaged you, he actually sent me a message. How did he know I was using my phone? He must be spying on me.”
“They even said they’d take down the surveillance in my room, hmph—”
“No wonder grandma always says, ‘Men’s mouths are lying ghosts!'”
Jiang Jinsang almost laughed out loud. Back when the little guy insisted on sleeping in his own room, the family was worried and indeed installed surveillance in his room to make sure he could sleep alone. It had been removed a long time ago.
“Hey, you say your dad installed surveillance in your room, so if you’re packing to run away from home in the middle of the night, wouldn’t he have seen everything?”
The little guy had just mustered up some enthusiasm, all raring to go, when Jiang Jinsang doused him with a bucket of cold water, leaving him feeling thoroughly chilled.
“Uncle Jiang, what should I do?” he was so scared he was about to cry.
“What do you think?”
“So should I turn myself in first to strive for leniency?”
…
Having just dealt with company business, a certain man took a quick shower, leaned back on the bedhead, still with his laptop on his knees, sorting out some emails when he heard knocking at the door, slightly furrowing his brows, “Who is it?”
“Daddy, it’s me!” The little guy’s voice was so well-behaved it was almost unnatural.
“Come in.”
When he turned the doorknob and entered, he found his dad actually looking at the computer, immediately feeling so anxious he suspected his dad was checking the security cameras.
“Why aren’t you asleep yet? Don’t you have school tomorrow morning?” Tomorrow was Monday, he had to go to kindergarten.
“Daddy, I was wrong.”
The person didn’t bat an eyelid.
“I shouldn’t have run away from home or said bad things about you. I really was wrong.”
The man slightly raised his eyebrow…
Who could tell him, what on earth had happened now?
After hearing the explanation, he finally spoke with a frown, “You wanted to run away to your Uncle Jiang?”
“No, Uncle Jiang said he missed me! So I wanted to go and see him,” the little guy said with utmost seriousness.
“Is that so?”
Kids are kids, after all, not that meticulous in their thoughts, one moment running away from home, the next saying Uncle Jiang missed him, full of holes.
“Yeah, Daddy, you have to believe me, if Uncle Jiang hadn’t said he missed me I definitely wouldn’t have done it, it’s all his fault.”
Jiang Jinsang had no idea he had just been splashed with dirty water.
“I’ll take you to see him when we have time.”
“Really?” The little guy’s face lit up with a smile.
He promptly threw back the covers, “Don’t just stand there, get in bed.”
The little guy kicked off his slippers and climbed onto the bed, chilled to the bone from fright, “Daddy, my feet are cold.”
“Stretch them out, I’ll warm them up for you.”
Then the little guy plopped his feet right onto his stomach.
The man’s mouth twitched: you don’t hold back at all.
Actually, raising a child is no easy task, especially boys of this age, playful and energetic as if they have endless stamina. It was almost December, end-of-year, and the company was very busy; he didn’t have much time to spend with him…
Since someone missed him, that person should be very willing to help take care of his son.
At this moment, Jiang Jinsang was unaware that his nephew had inadvertently set him up.

Jiang Jinsang was in a pretty good mood tonight, pulled along by Tang Wan, and made to laugh by his little nephew, even finding the rain outside delightful.
He reflected on how tough it was for his elder brother to raise a child alone.
Little did he know that very soon, a little ancestor was about to be airdropped into his care.
That night was a whirlwind of stormy weather, and Tang Wan had drunk far too much, sleeping deeply, until she was awakened by the urgent pounding at her door…
“Miss, there’s been an emergency.” Chen’s mom panted with urgency, her voice hoarse.
Tang Wan awoke with a start, nearly leaping out of bed to open the door. Too hasty, she knocked her knee against the edge of the bed, pain making her nose tingle, fear in her heart suddenly amplified.
