#21 - Change, awakened Chihiro

Seeing Qian Renxue become a little impatient.

Qian Xunji stopped at the right moment.

He gently hugged his two children, his face full of smiles.

"Alright, then Dad won't say anymore, how about I keep you company while you read?"

"Okay, okay."

Qian Renjue nodded quickly.

"Mmm."

Qian Renxue also nodded slightly, handing the book in her hand to Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji took the book but didn't immediately open it.

Instead, he gently hugged the siblings tighter, lowered his eyes, and gazed at them with a somewhat apprehensive tone.

"Speaking of which, you won't have to go looking for Mom for a long time in the future, can we discuss something... During this time, can you give Dad the time you would have spent looking for Mom?"

"Of course!"

Qian Renjue's answer was just as Qian Xunji had imagined, so pure, so straightforward, and so heartwarming.

But Qian Xunji wanted to hear Qian Renxue's answer even more.

"What about Xiaoxue?"

Qian Renxue looked at Qian Xunji, and at this moment, she couldn't quite understand Qian Xunji.

With a hint of doubt, she nodded slightly: "I have no problem with it either."

"Haha... that's good, Dad will come to see you every day from now on."

Qian Xunji nodded with satisfaction.

"But... isn't Dad very busy every day?"

Qian Renjue raised his head, wriggling his body to avoid the somewhat prickly chin.

"Xiaojue, although Dad is busy, it's okay to relax occasionally," Qian Xunji explained with a smile, then added:

"Grandpa can't punish Dad either."

"Haha..."

Qian Renjue couldn't help but laugh.

Then he reminded: "Then Dad can't ruin our clothes again, okay?"

"Uh, definitely not."

Qian Xunji's expression stiffened slightly.

The embarrassing scene in front of the children last time still made him awkward.

The corners of Qian Renxue's lips also couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Qian Xunji looked at the smiling faces of the two children, and that little bit of embarrassment was nothing.

"Cough cough..."

After laughing enough, Qian Xunji coughed twice.

While turning the page on this matter, he made up his mind... to practice properly.

"Alright, let's read the book."

Qian Renjue suddenly changed his mind.

Hugging Qian Xunji's neck, looking up with a small face full of anticipation, he said in a crisp voice:

"Dad, why don't you read to us, okay?"

"Okay, anything Xiaojue wants is fine."

Qian Xunji nodded without thinking and agreed readily.

"That's great, thank you, Dad!"

Qian Renjue rubbed his little face against Qian Xunji's face, gently.

"This is all Dad should do."

Qian Xunji responded gently, afraid of hurting his son's delicate skin.

Qian Renjue sat back in Qian Xunji's arms, smiled at Qian Renxue, and leaned on her shoulder.

Qian Renxue naturally wouldn't refuse, raising her hand to stroke him gently.

"Then let's begin."

Qian Xunji hugged the two children, trying to make his voice gentler.

Reading the contents of the book clearly.

"..."

Qian Renjue leaned against Qian Xunji's arms, his head resting on Qian Renxue's shoulder.

Listening quietly.

After a while.

Qian Renjue, who hadn't slept enough last night, couldn't help but cover his mouth and yawned.

"Ah~woo!"

With tears in the corners of his eyes, he gently rubbed against Qian Xunji's arms and Qian Renxue's shoulder.

"Dad, Sister ~ Jue is sleepy."

"Jue."

Qian Renxue gently stroked him, as if to coax Qian Renjue to sleep.

Qian Xunji stopped.

Speaking softly and gently: "Then Dad will take Xiaojue to bed."

"Mmm."

Qian Renjue responded softly in his sleepiness.

After Qian Xunji helped Qian Renjue up, Qian Renxue consciously got up.

"Does Xiaoxue want to join?"

Qian Xunji looked back and asked with a smile, his voice a little dry.

"I'm not sleepy."

Qian Renxue shook her head gently.

Qian Xunji nodded slightly, stepped forward, and carefully settled Qian Renjue down.

Looking at his back.

Qian Renxue slowly walked to the coffee table.

When Qian Xunji settled Qian Renjue down and turned around.

Qian Renxue was holding a water glass and handing it to him.

"Dad, have some water."

Qian Xunji was stunned, then felt flattered.

He even forgot to keep his voice down.

"Okay, okay! Thank you, Xiaoxue..."

"Shh!"

Qian Renxue made a gesture to silence him.

Qian Xunji came back to his senses, smiled, nodded, and took the glass of water.

He drank it with relish, as if it could moisten people's hearts.

After Qian Xunji finished drinking the water.

Qian Renxue took the glass and put it back on the table, took the wooden sword, and greeted Qian Xunji:

"Dad, I'm going to practice swordsmanship."

"Xiaoxue... wait."

Qian Xunji chuckled and pulled Qian Renxue to his side.

In her curious gaze, he smiled and said:

"Xiaoxue, after Xiaojue falls asleep, Dad will practice with you, okay?"

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and sat down by the bed.

"Xiaoxue is so good."

Qian Xunji showed a hearty smile.

Looking at Qian Xunji, who was gently and softly coaxing Qian Renjue to sleep.

Qian Renxue felt very strange in her heart.

But Qian Xunji had his own considerations.

Bibi Dong's hatred for him would only grow stronger after leaving the City of Slaughter.

She would definitely fight him to the death!

If he didn't die, Bibi Dong wouldn't let it go.

Now,

Qian Xunji just wanted to cherish the time he had.

Spend more time with the children.

See Qian Renjue's smiling face more, and make Qian Renxue smile at him more...

Soon.

Qian Renjue fell into a dream.

"Let's go, Xiaoxue."

Qian Xunji reached out to Qian Renxue, took her hand, and walked outside.

As soon as they came out of the courtyard gate.

"Ah!"

Qian Renxue exclaimed娇呼.

She was picked up by Qian Xunji and placed on his neck.

"Dad, what, what are you doing?!"

Qian Renxue, riding on Qian Xunji's neck, was flushed.

She wasn't a child anymore!

Qian Xunji smiled and began to walk slowly.

"It's rare that Dad has time, let me take Xiaoxue for a walk."

"Then, then you don't have to do this!"

Qian Renxue hugged his head, her face with some embarrassment, some shame.

"Dad, I can walk myself."

"Next time you carry Jue like this, he likes it more."

Qian Xunji was indifferent, smiling and said:

"Xiaoxue, being too precocious is not a good thing."

"You should play more when you are a child... so you won't have any regrets in the future."

"It's good to spend more time with Dad."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue was no longer so resistant.

Blushing, she asked: "Dad, where did you learn these great principles from?"

"Of course, I read it in books, learning to be a good dad."

Qian Xunji smiled, gently pressed Qian Renxue's knees, and walked lightly.

Qian Renxue was slightly stunned.

This life's Dad is really a little different.

Is it because of Jue?

Qian Renxue retracted her thoughts, all shame dissipated, and couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, Dad."

"Haha... good daughter, this is all Dad should do."

At this moment,

The haze in the depths of Qian Xunji's eyes dissipated.

He is now a father.

A father who is taking care of his children!

Those unsightly things should not come to make trouble!

I wish you all a happy life!
