Chapter 89: Sharing a Room

Auntie Li was a little worried.

After all, these two were young, and didn’t seem like the type to know how to take care of children.

But since Qin Wenhuo insisted, Auntie Li had no choice but to leave.

The two children woke up around eight in the evening.

Fu Mingxue had been keeping watch over them, and as soon as she saw them wake up, she immediately reached out to feel their foreheads.

She found that their fevers seemed to have completely gone down.

When the two children saw her, they were a little scared—

It was the wariness children have toward strangers.

Fu Mingxue withdrew her hand and tried to soften her expression as much as possible.

“Are you hungry?”

The two children stared at her with wide eyes. They were a little afraid, but they didn’t cry.

They just stared intently at Fu Mingxue.

At this moment, Qin Wenhuo also noticed the children were awake and walked over.

“Haohao, Keke, this is your mom—”

Fu Mingxue looked at the two of them and noticed that the children’s eyes were full of dependence when they looked at Qin Wenhuo. Clearly, they wanted him to hold them.

“Why don’t you hold them?” she said.

Qin Wenhuo: ?

But seeing the expectant look in the children’s eyes, he picked one up—

And put the child into Fu Mingxue’s arms.

“You’re their mom now, you should hold one too.”

Fu Mingxue instinctively reached out and held the child.

Thankfully, the child in her arms didn’t resist at all.

He was so well-behaved—it was almost heartbreaking.

Qin Wenhuo picked up the other child.

The little girl, nestled in her father’s arms, was clearly much happier.

“They can’t talk yet,” Qin Wenhuo said, which surprised Fu Mingxue.

“They’re over a year old now, right? Well, some kids start talking a bit later, it’s fine.”

Qin Wenhuo replied, “They’re just thirteen months. They can’t talk yet, but they can walk.”

“Then we’ll have to teach them well. From now on, I’ll be your mom. But for now, let’s eat something.”

Auntie Li had brought some rice porridge for the children. It was thin and perfect for kids who were sick.

Fu Mingxue poured out two small bowls, still warm.

She fed the child in her arms, spoonful by spoonful.

Maybe he was feeling better, or maybe he was just really hungry, but he didn’t resist at all.

On the other hand, Qin Wenhuo wasn’t very good at feeding children, and ended up getting food all over the child’s mouth.

After Fu Mingxue finished feeding her side, she switched and took over the other child.

“I’ll do it.”

Qin Wenhuo immediately handed the child over.

After Fu Mingxue finished feeding them, she wiped their little faces clean.

Maybe it was the medicine, but after eating, the two children soon fell asleep again.

“These two are so easy to take care of,” Fu Mingxue couldn’t help but remark.

Most kids this age would be crying non-stop if they were sick.

Qin Wenhuo glanced at her. “They’re very well-behaved. There aren’t many people in their family, no grandparents. They were left at their uncle’s house, but there are a lot of kids there—”

This was the first time Qin Wenhuo had talked about the children’s situation, and Fu Mingxue was curious. “Their mother just left them behind and remarried?”

Qin Wenhuo’s face turned cold. “Some people just aren’t fit to be mothers.”

Fu Mingxue: …?

Qin Wenhuo didn’t want to continue the topic, and it was getting late.

He pointed to the other bed in the hospital room. “You sleep there tonight.”

Fu Mingxue blurted out, “Then where will you sleep?”

Was he planning to sleep with her?

“I’ll squeeze in here,” Qin Wenhuo said, pointing to Qin Hao’s bed.

The child was small, so there was just enough room for him.

Fu Mingxue: …

Right, how silly of her.

“Alright, I’ll go to sleep then.”

Good thing she’d bathed during the day.

After Fu Mingxue lay down, Qin Wenhuo also lay down next to his son—

They’d shared a train compartment before, after all.

So, sharing a room this time didn’t feel like a big deal.
