Even with Lin Xiao's praise, Xun'er was still not entirely happy, continuing to adjust her work with a look of determination.
Luo Qinghan wanted Xun'er to rest for the night, but Lin Xiao stopped him.
"You go rest, I'll take her up later when it's too late," Lin Xiao said softly.
"...Alright." Luo Qinghan hesitated for a while before finally agreeing.
Prompted by Lin Xiao, Bingbing also went upstairs to sleep.
Only Lin Xiao stayed by Xun'er's side, watching her revise her work again and again.
She was like an artist pursuing perfection to the extreme.
As she revised, she yawned constantly, as if she might fall asleep at any moment.
Lin Xiao sat nearby, waiting quietly, not disturbing her. When Xun'er needed a little help, he would lend a hand.
Finally, close to midnight, the little girl could no longer stay awake.
She looked at her final work, a smile finally appearing on her face, and then she yawned again, "Daddy, I want to sleep..."
"Let's go, upstairs to wash up."
With that, Lin Xiao scooped the little girl into his arms.
"Daddy, does my penguin look like..."
"It looks very much like it! Especially like it!" Lin Xiao nodded, kissing the little girl's cheek.
Her final work was even more lifelike than Luo Bing's. These two hours had not been wasted.
"Then... good..." The little girl fell asleep as she finished speaking.
Children are prone to sleepiness; it was already commendable that she stayed up this late.
Lin Xiao gave a wry smile and, after a simple wash in the bathroom, placed the little girl in bed.
"How is it?" Luo Qinghan had work the next day, but as a mother, how could she sleep at this hour? She got up as soon as she heard a sound.
"This girl, it would be a waste if she doesn't go into research or become an artist. She's made it look quite convincing." Lin Xiao shrugged.
"Naturally, she's my daughter." Luo Qinghan beamed with pride upon hearing this.
"As if she's not my daughter too." Lin Xiao pouted.
"Without me, how could there be her?"
"Without me, could there be?"
"..." Kuaishuge
The two fell silent for a second, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It was at this moment that the little girl seemed to let out an unhappy sound: "Mmm... I want to sleep!"
Lin Xiao and Luo Qinghan immediately covered their mouths.
Only when Xun'er seemed to be asleep again did they release their hands.
Lin Xiao then said, "This waking temper, it must be from you."
"I don't have a waking temper, don't spout nonsense."
The two started bickering again.
However, after only a few words, they both stared at Xun'er on the bed. Seeing that Xun'er didn't react, they both breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a smile, and Lin Xiao, embracing Luo Qinghan, fell asleep.
The next morning, Xun'er was overjoyed looking at the work Lin Xiao had completed overnight.
Watching his daughter bounce happily into kindergarten, Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he hadn't embarrassed himself in front of his daughter.
Afterward, he specifically went to the noodle shop opposite the kindergarten.
During his days in Modu, he had intensely missed this noodle shop. He didn't have time to cook every day, so he couldn't eat the local dishes from Shashi. He loved the taste here so much that he decided to indulge.
He ordered a large bowl with triple the beef portion!
The boss looked at him and asked, "Young man, can you really finish all of that?"
