Good Dad System (Arc 6) Chapter 51.5: The Film Emperor Who Gave Birth To A Child In Hidden Marriage (22)
There were more than a dozen lipsticks neatly arranged in the giftbox. Qin Siya opened them one by one and successfully saw all kinds of strange and bizarre Barbie pinks – the slightly better ones were cherry pink, then coral pink, light pink, flesh pink… Although her skin was quite fair, it still took some ability to control these magical colors. In the end, she had to reluctantly choose a pink color similar to cream orange, applied it on her lipstick, and used her acting skills that had been rusty for several years to make a sincere smile: “Does it look good? I think these are all suitable.”
Pei Naochun didn’t see through it and clapped enthusiastically: “It looks good!” He patted his son who was already pondering the big box, “Xingyang, does it look good no mom?”
“It looks good!” Qin Xingyang, who was full of energy, immediately praised her, “Mom, you look super good.”
“It looks good.” Qin’s father expressed his opinion, “It’s just not colored well. It would look better if it was a little red!” He was a typical supporter of the brightest colors.
Okay, Qin Siya smiled sincerely, she was surrounded by people she loved and who loved her. She thought, this was probably her happiest moment, right?
…
“Mom, where are Xingyang and Naochun?” Qin Siya had just returned from the hospital with her father. It was time for dinner, but her mother was the only one at home watching TV. In the afternoon, her son was supposed to go to tutoring class, but it was rare for Naochun to come back, and Xingyang was rolling on the ground again. She thought about it and asked for leave for him. The father and son had to get along well.
Mother Qin pointed upstairs: “They are playing upstairs.” She had just gone upstairs and saw her son-in-law and Xingyang building the toy. They were both very serious about it. They had built it a little bit in the afternoon and it looked spectacular. “The meal is ready. Let’s cook when we want to eat.” She was an old hand and was quick. It only took her a few minutes to cook a table of dishes.
“Yeah.” Qin Siya nodded and went upstairs quietly. It was very quiet upstairs and she could only faintly hear the sound of a movie. She recognized it as the soundtrack of Harry Potter. She glanced to the left and saw that the door of her son’s room was not fully open, but only half-closed. The moment she pushed the door open, she was stunned.
The projector opposite her son’s bed was on, and the movie had already reached the third part. The lights in the room were turned on to the lowest level for fear of ruining the viewing experience.
On the flat ground next to the carpet, the castle was half built, and the cardboard box next to it was full of materials.
Pei Naochun fell asleep on the carpet, holding Xingyang tightly in his arms. The father and son leaned against each other, even their breathing was in sync, and they slept very soundly.
Qin Siya couldn’t see how gentle and loving her smile was at this moment. She took off her shoes, tiptoed, and carefully walked past the two people. She took her son’s usual air-conditioned quilt from the bed and covered them with it. Fortunately, she didn’t wake them up. She lay silently on her son’s bed, looking forward quietly, unable to tell whether she was watching a movie or looking at the two people who were particularly important in her life.
Perhaps the atmosphere was too warm, she lay there and fell asleep unknowingly.
Mother Qin pointed upstairs at her husband who had just come down the stairs and asked, “What’s going on?”
“They are all sleeping.” Father Qin couldn’t help laughing. The three people in the room were sleeping soundly, and each of them had a smile on their face, as if they were dreaming a beautiful dream.
“How about I cook for you first and let them eat later?” Mother Qin knew that the flight took a long time and her son-in-law was probably tired. Anyway, the food was here, so it was okay to eat later. She stood up and planned to prepare her and her husband’s meals first.
Father Qin was standing in the kitchen with a crutch, keeping a distance from his wife so as not to affect her movements. He kept muttering, “She is already so old, but she doesn’t even know how to sleep in bed. You didn’t see Siya lying on Xingyang’s bed, without a quilt, just hugging a pillow. I covered her with the quilt. Naochun and Xingyang were fine, but I don’t know why they had to sleep head to head. They slept soundly.”
“Very good, very good.” Mother Qin’s voice was full of smiles. Although she and her husband once looked down on their son-in-law – and were even angry and dissatisfied with him, in the end, wasn’t it all for their daughter’s happiness? They had eyes and could see that no matter if there were problems before, at least the son-in-law was now correcting his mistakes and trying hard, and their daughter was willing to give him another chance.
They will all grow old, and no matter how much they prepare, what they hope for most was that their daughter and son-in-law can be together well, right? After all, they were the ones who can hold each other’s hands and walk through life together.
“Yeah.” Father Qin communicated the most with his son-in-law. He heard his son-in-law apologize many times and expressed many concerns. He was the one who knew the other party’s plan best, but men liked to keep things to themselves. Since his son-in-law failed to follow through, he didn’t want to let his wife and daughter be happy for anything.
Many years ago, his daughter once told him that it was worth it and she had no regrets. At that time, Qin’s father was very disappointed and felt that his daughter was stupid from the bottom of his heart.
But rather than letting his daughter get hurt and then regret it, he hoped that the man his daughter loves was truly worth her efforts.
…
Four days later.
“Okay, stop crying, okay? Daddy will definitely be home soon.” Pei Naochun started making the phone call as soon as he got in the car, his voice full of tenderness, “How can a real man cry? Didn’t you promise daddy that when daddy is not at home, you must help take care of mom, grandpa, and grandma, right? Shouldn’t a little warrior be brave no matter what he encounters?”
There was a sobbing child’s voice on the other end of the phone: “I… I’m so brave, I won’t cry anymore, you have to come back when you’re done.”
