The Musik family.

After dinner, Aunt Zhou and Mu Xiaowu waited in the living room for Mu Sijue and his son to come back.

Four years have passed, Niannian has grown up, and Aunt Zhou and Mu Xiaowu have also grown old.

Aunt Zhou obviously feels that her energy is not as good as every year, but fortunately, taking care of Niannian is not a problem. Mu Xiaowu is also getting lazier every year. When there is no one at home, he prefers to lie down instead of like the previous few times.

In that way, no matter whether there is anyone or not, he can jump around and have fun.

Mu Sijue held Nian Nian in his arms and came back through the night. He put Nian Nian down only after entering the door.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Niannian ran towards Aunt Zhou: "Grandma Zhou!"

Aunt Zhou opened her arms, and the little guy threw her into her arms. She said "ouch" and her voice was happy.

Only at this time is Aunt Zhou happy.

"Have you had enough at Uncle Lu's house?" Aunt Zhou touched the little guy's head, "Do you want something more to eat?"

Nian Nian shook her head and burped at the right time.

"Little one." Aunt Zhou's expression and movements were full of doting, "I won't eat then. But you still need to drink a glass of milk before going to bed."

"Yeah!" Niannian nodded, not to mention how endearing he was.

The more Aunt Zhou looked at the little guy, the softer she felt in her heart. Sometimes she even wondered if the little guy had absorbed his father's lovability as a child into herself.

"Nian Nian, how were you at school today?" Aunt Zhou asked casually. She didn't know about the fight between Nian Nian and Jeffery.

Niannian and Mu Sijue have reached a tacit understanding about this kind of thing over a long period of time - hiding it from Aunt Zhou.

"I went to French class today." Niannian blinked and then said something in French.

Aunt Zhou looked at the little guy with a blank look: "What did you say? Grandma's ears are not working properly, so she didn't hear clearly."

Niannian chuckled twice and said in Mandarin: "What I just said was French, which means 'Grandma is very beautiful today'! Teacher Kelly taught me this morning!"

Aunt Zhou was so elated by the little guy that she couldn't stop laughing. After a while, she let Mu Sijue take the little guy upstairs to take a bath.

Nian Nian touched Mu Xiaowu who was lying lazily on the carpet, said good night to him, and took Mu Sijue's hand to go upstairs.

Aunt Zhou was sitting on the sofa, looking at the backs of father and son. She couldn't tell whether she felt more happy or sad.

Unconsciously, four years have passed. Niannian has grown up and is able to make her, an old lady, happy, but Xu Youning still hasn't woken up.

In the past four years, it is said that she has taken care of Niannian, but in fact, Mu Sijue prefers to do many things about Niannian himself. He has taken on the roles of father and mother by himself, and even takes Niannian to the hospital every weekend.

Xu Youning.

It wasn't until the beginning of this year that Aunt Zhou convinced Mu Sijue to let Niannian sleep in a room alone.

Before this, Niannian had been sleeping with Mu Sijue at night.

In other words, when Niannian was a baby, Musijue did all the things like making milk powder and changing diapers for the little one by himself at night.

Before that, Aunt Zhou couldn't even imagine Mu Sijue being a father, let alone doing these things.

When she saw that Mu Sijue had done these things well, Aunt Zhou was really surprised. At the same time, she also realized that perhaps in the past four years, it was not just Mu Sijue who was teaching Nian Nian, but Nian Nian had also taught Mu Sijue some things.

matter.

However, she still hopes that Xu Youning can wake up and participate in Nian Nian's education and growth.

Upstairs, Mu Sijue had already brought Niannian into the little guy's room.

When Aunt Zhou suggested it, Mu Sijue thought for a long time before agreeing to let Niannian sleep in a room alone. He also wanted to use this to make the little guy realize that he couldn't stay with him forever and he always had to be alone.

To face and deal with some things.

At first, the little guy was reluctant at all. He hugged Mu Sijue's leg and refused to let go, saying that he was scared.

Mu Sijue also softened his heart, and even thought that Niannian didn't need to learn to be independent so early, and could wait until he was older. But fortunately, his reason told him in time that if he didn't succeed this time, it would be even harder the next time.

Mu Sijue promised the little guy that he would give him an adaptation period and promised to stay with him during the adaptation period until he could sleep in a room by himself.

During the adaptation period, Mu Sijue fulfilled his promise and also slept in Nian Nian's small room. Nian Nian slept on his small bed, and Mu Sijue slept on a temporary bed, staying with Nian Nian at a certain distance.

On the first night, because Mu Sijue was still around, Niannian just hummed awkwardly twice and fell asleep quickly.

Instead, Musijue suffered from insomnia.

Mu Sijue finally realized that when children grow up, it means that parents should let go appropriately. Children can quickly adapt to the new environment, so in this process, it is actually the parents who are more miserable.

At first, Mu Sijue stayed with Nian Nian all night; then he returned to his room in the middle of the night; and later, he returned to his room as soon as Nian Nian fell asleep.

Finally one day, Niannian said to him: "Dad, I can sleep alone."

At that moment, Musijue's heart twitched slightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Finally, it was time for him to let go.

That night, Mu Sijue sent Niannian back to his room, covered him with a quilt, and sat on the edge of the bed looking at the little guy.

"Dad," the little guy said, wiggling his thick long eyelashes, "good night."

Musijue kissed the little guy's cheek and said, "Good night." He turned off the headlight, leaving only a warm desk lamp on the bedside, then got up and left the little guy's room.

What Niannian didn't know was that Mu Sijue had been outside his room and hadn't left.

Mu Sijue was worried.

He was worried that Nian Nian wouldn't adapt, or that he would be scared. In any case, according to this child's character, he would eventually cry and use his cries to attract the attention of adults like he did when he was a child.

If Nian Nian cried, Mu Sijue hoped that he could rush to him as soon as possible.

What Musijue didn't expect was that the first night his child fell asleep alone, he, as a father, would not come in handy.

He lingered outside the door for more than an hour, but there was no movement inside the room.

He opened the door and walked in quietly, only to find that the little guy had fallen asleep without knowing it.

If the memory was correct, looking at the little guy sleeping soundly, Musijue's eyes became slightly moist.

His little boy has really grown up.

Musijue left as quietly as he came in and went back to his room.

Later, Mu Sijue stood outside Niannian's door for several nights, for more than an hour at a time. Every day, he had to open the door and go in to make sure the little one was asleep before he could go back to the room.

After standing there for a week, Aunt Zhou told Mu Sijue that Niannian had completely adapted.

Mu Sijue naturally understood what Aunt Zhou meant.

That night, after Mu Sijue covered Niannian with the quilt and turned off the lights, he went back to his room, feeling lost and unable to fall asleep. Fortunately, time can dilute everything, and today, he is completely used to it.

Tonight, Mu Sijue helped Niannian take a bath as usual, then wrapped the little one in a bath towel and carried him back to the bed in the room.

The little guy was wrapped in a bath towel, like a round ball. He pointed to the closet and decided to wear the bear pajamas Su Jianan bought for him tonight.

Mu Sijue found bear pajamas and put them on the little guy. The little guy suddenly said: "Dad, I like Aunt Jian An very much."

Mu Sijue raised his eyebrows: "How about Aunt Xiao Xi and Sister Yunyun?"

"I like them too." The little guy touched his pajamas, "But I still like Aunt Jian An more."

Musijue rubbed the little guy's still wet hair: "What's the reason?"

"Aunt Jian An can cook a lot of delicious food and buy me nice clothes!" Nian Nian rolled her dark eyes and asked curiously, "Dad, when I grow up, I can ask Aunt Jian An like this

His girlfriend?”

Mu Sijue smiled: "You should ask Uncle Lu."

"..." The little guy's eyes widened, his pupils full of confusion.

Musijue did not continue the topic and said that he would help the little guy dry his hair.

The little guy's hair was very soft and it didn't take long to dry.

Musijue put away the hair dryer and asked, "Do you want to sleep with me tonight? I want to talk to you about some things about my mother."

Niannian nodded, jumped into Mu Sijue's arms, and hung on Mu Sijue like a small animal.

Mu Sijue took the little guy back to his room. When he came out of the bath, he saw the little guy looking at him pretending to be mysterious and said, "Dad, let me tell you a secret."

"What's the secret?" Musijue lifted the quilt and lay half-ly on the head of the bed, looking at the little guy with interest.

Mu Mu turned over, lying on the bed, raising her legs under the quilt, supporting her chin with her hands and looking at Mu Sijue, blinking: "Dad, actually I know."

Musijue raised his eyebrows, feeling clueless in front of the little guy for the first time: "What do you know?"

"I know you have been standing at the door of my room, waiting for me to fall asleep before leaving."

The little guy easily exposed the secret that Mu Sijue thought he had concealed well. He looked at Mu Sijue without smiling, with a hint of pride hidden in his clear eyes.

"..." Mu Sijue pretended to be calm, as if he wanted to have a good talk with the little guy, "How do you know?"

"Because I didn't hear your footsteps after you closed the door, so I guess you are still outside the door." Nian Nian covered her mouth and laughed, "Dad, am I very smart?"

"I always thought you were very smart." Musijue paused and explained, "I stood outside the door because I thought you would cry, but you are very brave."

Niannian pursed her lips, hesitated, and said, "Okay, I have another secret - when you walked out of the room, I wanted to cry a little bit. But when I found you outside the door, I didn't want to cry anymore.

, and I fell asleep quickly.”

A smile appeared on the corners of Mu Sijue's lips at some point: "Then what?"
