Chapter 1192: A Cute Little Baby at Home, Making the Whole Family Sweet

As dawn broke, the first rays of golden sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtains and quietly entered the children's room, gently spilling like overturned honey onto the small bed covered with cartoon bear sheets.

Xiao Zhixi's eyelashes trembled slightly, like a pink butterfly resting on a petal about to take flight.

Her little face was glowing in the morning light, her delicate features exuding the soft sweetness of someone who had just woken up.

Her long eyelashes cast delicate shadows under her eyelids, her nose was small and upturned, the corners of her mouth still held the curve of last night's sweet dream, and her face seemed to still carry a lingering milky fragrance.

After a moment, the little guy slowly opened his eyes.

Those were eyes as clear as a mountain stream, still carrying the dazed look of someone just waking up.

She stared blankly at the plush ornament hanging from the ceiling, then her eyes darted around, curiously scanning the picture book shelf and teddy bear in the room before she slowly came to her senses.

Little Zhixi stretched out a big yawn, clenched her chubby little fists, stretched her arms upwards with force, shrugged her little shoulders slightly, and twisted her waist gently. Her two little feet even kicked unconsciously.

The stretching motion revealed her slightly protruding belly, her pink skin gleaming in the sunlight, so adorable that one couldn't help but want to kiss her.

Little Zhixi didn't cry when she woke up. She pursed her lips and her soft, sweet voice gently rang out in the quiet room: "Mommy..."

She remembered falling asleep in her father's arms last night, but now the space around her was empty, and she suddenly wanted to find her parents.

The little one used his hands and feet to prop himself up and sit on the crib, his round eyes staring at the crib railing.

The railing wasn't very high, but for little Zhixi, who was not yet three years old, it wouldn't be easy for her to climb down directly.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, her little brows furrowing slightly, as if she were pondering some difficult problem.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she clapped her little hands, and shouted in a clear voice, "Fly!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than something miraculous happened.

Xiao Zhixi's body floated gently, detaching from the bed and hovering in mid-air.

As if she had discovered some interesting game, a bright smile immediately bloomed on her little face. Her little arms and legs moved gently as if swimming in water, her figure as light as a little angel.

She tried to twirl around, her skirt billowing slightly, her face full of excitement, humming an off-key nursery rhyme—the melody the little sheep sang in the cartoon last night.

The little guy would sometimes kick his little legs and float to the left, sometimes wave his little hands and move to the right, and occasionally he would lower his head and look at the toy car at his feet with curiosity. His little face was serious and cute.

"Going to find Daddy and Mommy~" Little Zhixi murmured in her childish voice, waving her little arms and drifting towards the door.

The door to the children's room was ajar. Lin Lang and Tong Lei had deliberately left it open last night so that they could hear their daughter crying if she woke up in the middle of the night.

Xiao Zhixi floated lightly to the doorway, peeked out with her little head, and after confirming that there was no movement outside, she nimbly floated out, like a little moving dumpling, and flew towards the master bedroom across the hall.

In the master bedroom, the morning light gently bathed the large bed.

Tong Lei nestled in Lin Lang's arms, her long, black hair spread across the pillow, her profile gentle, her breathing even, she was fast asleep.

Lin Lang's arms were tightly wrapped around her waist, his brows relaxed, and a satisfied smile on his face. The two of them were surrounded by a warm and peaceful atmosphere, blending into the morning light outside the window.

Little Zhixi floated into the room and saw her parents sleeping soundly in bed. Her eyes curved into crescents, and her little voice, though low, couldn't hide her excitement: "Daddy~ Mommy~"

She floated gently to the bedside and landed on the soft mattress with a "plop," like a cotton candy falling softly without making a loud noise.

The little guy was quite restless, climbing onto the bed on all fours, first lying on Lin Lang's chest and rubbing his little head against his chest.

Then she crawled over to Tong Lei's side, stretched out her chubby little hand, and gently touched her mother's cheek.

Seeing that neither of them had woken up, Xiao Zhixi simply lay down between them, rolled over, rolled to Lin Lang's side, and then pounced on him with her hands and feet, hugging his arm like a little koala, rubbing her little head against his arm.

Lin Lang was not a deep sleeper to begin with, and when he felt the weight on his chest and the touch on his arm, he slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was his daughter's innocent smiling face, her rosy cheeks and bright, sparkling eyes staring intently at him, a sweet smile on her lips.

"Oh my, my little darling is awake?" Lin Lang's voice was hoarse from just waking up, but full of affection.

He reached out and gently touched Xiao Zhixi's head. His fingertips touched her soft hair, and his heart softened.

When Xiao Zhixi saw that Lin Lang was awake, she immediately smiled even more brightly and called out in her sweet little voice, "Daddy!"

She climbed off Lin Lang, kneeling on the mattress, and reached out her little hand to touch his face. Her chubby fingers gently pinched his cheek, the force as light as a feather.

Lin Lang was amused by his daughter's adorable actions. He hugged her tightly, kissed her on the cheek, and teased, "Why did our Xi'er come here all by herself? Did you miss Daddy?"

Xiao Zhixi replied sweetly, "Yes."

The little one in his arms was soft and cuddly, with a faint milky scent. Lin Lang couldn't help but kiss her forehead again, feeling this heavy happiness.

Tong Lei was awakened by the sounds of the father and daughter playing and slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing her daughter in Lin Lang's arms, Tong Lei's lips immediately curved into a gentle smile. She reached out and gently stroked Xiao Zhixi's back, softly saying, "Xi'er, are you awake? Did you have a sweet dream?"

"Mommy!" When Xiao Zhixi saw Tong Lei wake up, she immediately broke free from Lin Lang's arms and rushed into Tong Lei's embrace, rubbing her little head against Tong Lei's neck and acting coquettishly.

Tong Lei hugged her daughter tightly, placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head, and felt a warm glow in her heart as the familiar milky scent of her daughter filled her nostrils.

She gently patted her daughter's back and asked softly, "Sweetie, did you come from the nursery by yourself? Were you a good girl?"

Little Zhixi looked up at Tong Lei with bright, sparkling eyes, waved her little hand triumphantly, and said in her childish voice, "It flew over! Zhixi can fly!"

As she spoke, she mimicked flying motions, her little arms and legs flailing in the air, her face beaming with pride.

Lin Lang and Tong Lei exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

"Our Xi'er is so amazing!" Tong Lei praised with a smile, reaching out to pinch her daughter's chubby little face. "But be careful next time you fly, don't fall, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Zhixi nodded obediently, then climbed out of Tong Lei's arms and rolled around on the big bed.

She rolled around like a little ball, from one end of the bed to the other, and then back again. Occasionally she would stop, pounce on Lin Lang, or hug Tong Lei's arm, letting out a clear laugh.

The laughter, like silver bells, echoed in the room, filled with childlike innocence and joy.

Lin Lang lay on the mattress, watching his daughter roll and play around him, occasionally reaching out to protect her, afraid that she would roll off the bed.

Tong Lei leaned against the headboard, looking tenderly at the father and daughter, her eyes full of doting and happiness.

Little Zhixi rolled over to Lin Lang's side, reached out her little hand to tickle him, and gently traced her little fingers on his waist.

Lin Lang was ticklish and couldn't help but burst into laughter. He reached out to grab his daughter's little hand, and the father and daughter started playing around on the mattress.

"Daddy's ticklish! Daddy's ticklish!" Little Zhixi laughed as she nimbly dodged Lin Lang's hands, her little body twisting and turning on the mattress like a little eel.

Seeing the father and daughter playing around, Tong Lei couldn't help but join in, gently tickling Xiao Zhixi's armpit.

The little one immediately burst into laughter, lying on the mattress, waving his little arms and legs wildly, and making bursts of clear laughter.

The room was filled with the laughter of a family of three, and the morning light shone through the curtains, making the room warm and inviting.

The sunlight fell on Xiao Zhixi, bathing her in a golden halo, making her look even more like a little angel descended to earth.

After playing for a while, Xiao Zhixi lay on the mattress, breathing slightly, her little face flushed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Tong Lei picked up a tissue from the side and gently wiped her sweat, saying softly, "Baby, are you tired?"

Little Zhixi shook her head, looked up at Lin Lang and Tong Lei with excited eyes, and said in her childish voice, "Daddy, Mommy, let's play games! Zhixi wants to be the little sheep, Daddy is the Big Bad Wolf, and Mommy is the Pretty Sheep!"

As she spoke, she didn't forget to imitate a lamb, putting her hands on her head and making two little horns, bleating "baa~", her cute appearance making Lin Lang and Tong Lei laugh again.

"Okay, let's play the game of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf!" Lin Lang said with a smile, deliberately making a fierce face as he pounced on Xiao Zhixi, "Big Big Wolf is here to catch the sheep!"

"Ah!" Xiao Zhixi cried out in feigned fear, immediately scrambling up from the mattress and rushing to Tong Lei's side. She nestled in Tong Lei's arms, peeked out with her little head, looked at Lin Lang, and giggled.

Holding her daughter, Tong Lei softly said in a voice, matching the game's plot, "Don't come any closer, Grey Wolf! We have grass cake!"

Little Zhixi peeked out from Tong Lei's arms, gesturing with her little hands as if she were holding something, and said to Lin Lang, "Big Bad Wolf, here's a grass cake for you, don't catch us!"

Lin Lang pretended to be convinced, stopped, took the "grass cake" his daughter "handed" over, pretended to take a bite, and said, "Wow, the grass cake is so delicious, then the Big Bad Wolf won't catch the little sheep anymore!"

Seeing that "Grey Wolf" wasn't chasing her anymore, Xiao Zhixi immediately ran out of Tong Lei's arms and circled around Lin Lang. Her little face was full of the joy of victory, and she was singing the theme song from the cartoon in a sweet voice, full of childlike innocence.

Tong Lei sat to the side, watching the father and daughter immerse themselves in the game, a gentle smile always on her face.

Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing them in its warmth and creating a cozy silhouette.

After playing games for a while, Xiao Zhixi's stomach started growling.

She stopped, patted her tummy, looked up at Lin Lang and Tong Lei, and said with a wronged expression, "Daddy, Mommy, Xi'er is hungry."

Tong Lei smiled and ruffled her daughter's hair, saying, "Are you hungry? Mommy will make you breakfast now. What do you want to eat?"

Xiao Zhixi clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Tong Lei, and replied thoughtfully, "I want to eat wontons and banana pancakes, and also shrimp and egg custard!"

"No problem, Mommy will do it right away." Tong Lei kissed her daughter's little face.

She got out of bed in her nightgown and said gently, "You two play a little longer, I'll call you when breakfast is ready."

"Go ahead, but be careful with your hands when you're chopping vegetables," Lin Lang said with a smile.

"Mmm." Tong Lei responded, glancing back at Lin Lang and her daughter before leaving the bedroom, her eyes brimming with undisguised happiness.

Lin Lang watched Tong Lei's figure disappear through the door, then lowered his head and looked tenderly at his daughter in his arms.

Little Zhixi nestled in Lin Lang's arms, chattering away about the plot of last night's cartoon. She kept saying that Pleasant Goat was the smartest, and that Big Bad Wolf had been defeated again. She talked about it with great interest.

Lin Lang listened patiently, occasionally responding with a few words, his eyes full of tenderness.

It was just an ordinary morning, but Lin Lang felt incredibly happy because his daughter was with him.

He gently combed his daughter's soft hair, looking at Xiao Zhixi's carefree and sweet smile, feeling warm and healed.
