He thought he had his uncle's back, but it turned out his uncle also attacked his uncle.

Will my uncle also be beaten and cry?

Then who will protect me?

very scary!

The little one cried even harder, desperately trying to shrink into Song Jingmo's arms, his voice hoarse from sobbing: "Waaah... Don't hit me... Don't hit me..."

Song Jingmo looked at the trembling little guy in his arms, then at Lu Er in front of him who was as angry as a cat with its fur standing on end, and sighed.

First, gently place Luming on a small stool to the side and say softly, "Luming, be good, sit still, Uncle will help you take a bath later."

Then he straightened up, walked to Lu Er, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her closer to him.

"Alright, alright, stop being so angry."

Song Jingmo's voice softened, sounding like he was trying to coax her, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have said these things to the child, I was wrong."

Lu Er glared at him: "Of course you're wrong!"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong."

Song Jingmo readily agreed, "I shouldn't have said those things to the child, and I shouldn't have stopped you from hitting him..."

"But he's so small, what if you hurt him?"

Lu Er calmed down a bit after hearing the first half of the sentence, but glared again when she heard the second half: "I wonder who it was that was so cold to people at first, but is now protecting them..."

Song Jingmo lowered his head and kissed the other person's forehead, his voice even softer: "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

"I promise I'll watch my words in front of the children from now on. You go and rest, I'll bathe Luming and clean up the mess, okay?"

Lu Er was so charmed by this combination of coaxing and kissing that she lost her temper, snorted, and ultimately said nothing more.

I glanced at Lu Ming, who was huddled on a small stool, looking at me timidly.

When the little guy met his gaze, he immediately buried his face in his knees, leaving only the back of his round head showing.

Lu Er was both annoyed and amused: "Fine, fine, you wash, you wash, I'll just stay quiet."

Song Jingmo held Lu Ming in his arms, gently patted his back, and softly coaxed, "Little baby, don't cry, don't cry."

The little one looked up, his face still streaked with tears, his eyes red.

She looked at Song Jingmo pitifully and asked softly, "Uncle... Uncle... are you still angry?"

"I'm not angry anymore."

Song Jingmo gently rubbed the boy's head. "But Luming, your uncle hit you because you peed in the bathwater."

"That's wrong, you know?"

Lu Ming nodded, then whispered, "But... Uncle also..."

"That's a matter between adults."

Song Jingmo interrupted, his expression serious, "Uncle didn't pee in the wrong place, he just..."

"Yes, I accidentally got the sheets wet. And what your uncle said was just to fool you, that was my fault."

Lu Ming nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"You can't pee in the bathtub anymore, understand?"

Lu Ming nodded, sobbing, her little hands still tightly gripping Song Jingmo's clothes.

After filling the tub with a fresh tub of warm water, Song Jingmo put Lu Ming back into the bathtub.

The little guy calmed down a lot after getting wet, but his eyes were still red.

She would steal glances at Lu Er standing at the door every now and then, feeling a mix of fear and longing to get closer.

Song Jingmo lowered his voice as he bathed someone.

He whispered in the little guy's ear, "There are some things you can't say in front of your uncle, understand?"

Lu Ming blinked: "Why?"

Song Jingmo glanced at Lu Er beside him and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Because if we say some things, we'll both get beaten up."

Lu Ming stared wide-eyed, trying to process the information.

Then, she nodded solemnly, her little face full of "I understand" expressions.

She gave a soft, childish "Oh."

Lu Er listened intently for a long time, but only heard the words "get beaten".

He immediately turned around alertly: "What are you two whispering about?"

"It's nothing."

Song Jingmo remained calm as he continued applying shower gel to Lu Ming, "Teaching him how to take a proper bath."

Lu Ming nodded in agreement, looking completely innocent: "Okay, take a good bath!"

Lu Er looked at the two figures, one big and one small, with suspicion, feeling that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

It's nine o'clock at night, time for Lu Ming to go to sleep.

The little guy smelled wonderful after his bath, wearing a set of pajamas covered in little dinosaurs, and lay on the big bed, his two little feet sticking up and swinging back and forth.

A lot happened today, and the little one's emotions went up and down. He was so tired that his eyelids were drooping, but he still insisted on staying awake, waiting for Lu Er to come and coax him to sleep.

Lu Er had just finished showering and was sitting on the edge of Lu Ming's bed, wearing loose pajamas and with her hair still wet.

He patted the pillow next to him: "Luming, come here, your uncle will lull you to sleep."

Lu Ming immediately moved over, rested his little head on Lu Er's arm, and rubbed against her contentedly.

She tilted her little face up and made a request in her childish voice: "Uncle, hold me while I sleep."

Lu Er gently patted the man's back, about to agree, when suddenly a hand reached out from the side and pressed Lu Ming down on the bed.

Song Jingmo pulled the blanket over the little guy, looked down at him with a serious expression, and said, "Luming, you're already three years old."

"A three-year-old is a big kid now, he can't need to be held to sleep anymore."

Lu Ming was forcibly shoved back into bed, his little face scrunched up in a grimace.

She looked at Song Jingmo with a pitiful expression, her big eyes filled with "Why can't I?"

Lu Er watched from the side, suppressing her laughter and remaining silent.

Song Jingmo continued to patiently persuade him: "Older children need to sleep on their own. Think about it, which older child still needs to be held to sleep?"

Lu Ming looked aggrieved for a few seconds, then blinked, "But Uncle, you also sleep while hugging Uncle..."

Lu Ming's voice was clear and loud, and his expression was innocent and pure. "I went to the master bedroom to find my uncle yesterday noon and saw you sleeping with him in your arms."

"Your hand is like this..."

The little guy gestured, making a hugging motion with his two short arms, "I'm hugging him tightly, even my uncle didn't push me away."

Song Jingmo: "..."

Seeing that the person was not speaking, Lu Ming assumed that they had not heard him clearly, so he thoughtfully added details: "Uncle's face is red, like a tomato."

After saying that, she tilted her head and looked at Song Jingmo, her eyes full of curiosity, "You're so much older than me, how come you can sleep while hugging your uncle?"

Song Jingmo was silent for three seconds: "Lu Ming, that one is different."

Lu Ming blinked: "How is it different?"

"because······"

Song Jingmo carefully considered his words, trying to explain in a way that the child could understand, "Because your uncle is my wife."

"Of course a husband can sleep with his wife in his arms; that's the rule for adults."

Lu Ming tilted his head, trying to process the information.

"What is a wife?"

Song Jingmo thought for a moment and said, "It's the person I like the most. I like your uncle the most, so your uncle is my wife."

After listening, Lu Ming nodded thoughtfully: "Does your uncle like you?"

Song Jingmo's lips curled up slightly as he turned to glance at Lu Er.

Her voice held a hint of amusement: "Of course I like it. Why would I let you hold me to sleep if I didn't?"
