Chapter 843: Dad Should Be a Monkey

Without hesitation, she extended her hand and said to Zhuang Long, “You have to put the ring on me. In this lifetime, you won’t have the chance to take it off.”

“I cherish this opportunity.”

Zhuang Long solemnly put the ring on Xiao Li’s finger.

…

Last night, Fang Yusheng took the two children and Qiao Jiusheng to the cinema to watch a midnight movie. It was a horror movie, and Fang Zikai had chosen it. After watching the movie, Fang Zikai returned home, but he was so afraid that he had to hold Fang Zicheng’s hand when he walked.

While showering, he kept the bathroom door open. He only dared to shower when he was talking to Fang Zicheng.

After taking a shower, sleeping became another problem.

In the middle of the night, Fang Zicheng seemed to be asleep. He covered half of his head with the blanket. He lay on his side, his breathing steady. Suddenly, the blanket was pulled away. Before Fang Zikai could sneak onto Fang Zicheng’s bed, Fang Zicheng suddenly sat up like a frightened bird.

He looked uncomfortable.

He turned around and saw Fang Zikai. Fang Zicheng’s expression turned a little ugly.

“Why didn’t you sleep at night? Why did you climb into my bed?”

Fang Zikai said, “I’m afraid…”

Fang Zicheng fell silent.

The room was silent for a moment. Then, Fang Zicheng said softly, “Actually, I’m a little afraid too.”

The brothers looked at each other and shifted their gazes to the next room.

Fang Yusheng was sleeping soundly when there was a knock on the door.

Qiao Jiusheng pushed him. “Go open the door.”

It was especially easy to fall asleep when one was sleepy. Fang Yusheng did not want to get out of bed either. “I’m not opening it.” He covered his head with the blanket, pretending that he was asleep and could not hear her.

Outside the door, Fang Zikai’s weak voice rang out. “Mom, Dad, open the door. Brother and I will sleep with you tonight.” Inside the room, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng continued to play dead. Fang Zikai nudged Fang Zicheng and said, “Brother, say something.”

Fang Zicheng thought about it seriously and finally said, “Dad, open the door.”

As soon as Fang Zicheng spoke, the two of them couldn’t continue pretending.

This was the first time their eldest son had begged them. The couple could not bear to reject him. In the end, Fang Yusheng got up reluctantly. When he and Qiao Jiusheng slept, they were both only wearing underwear. Fang Yusheng got up, opened the cabinet, and found a pair of pants to put on. Only then did he open the door.

Outside the door, the two little children hurriedly squeezed into the room the moment the door opened. They moved so quickly, as if they were afraid that Fang Yusheng would refuse.

The bed in the bedroom was only 1.8 meters wide. Fang Yusheng asked Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai to sleep on the floor, but neither of them agreed. Helpless, Fang Yusheng could only allow the two little fellows to climb onto the bed. The two little fellows slept at the head of the bed. Fang Yusheng had just laid down when he was suddenly hugged by a pair of small hands.

He remembered that Fang Zicheng was sleeping opposite him.

Fang Yusheng’s mood was quite strange. This was the first time he had been so dependent on his eldest son, and his pride as a man was greatly satisfied. Fang Zikai hugged Qiao Jiusheng’s leg. Qiao Jiusheng was in a daze when she heard Fang Zikai say, “Mom’s leg is so smooth.”

At the thought of Fang Zikai touching Qiao Jiusheng’s leg, Fang Yusheng’s temples began to throb.

When Fang Zicheng heard this, he said, “Dad’s legs are so hairy.”

“Yes, Mom is a fairy. Have you seen a fairy with long hair on her legs?” Fang Zikai still felt that what he said made sense.

Fang Zicheng said honestly, “I’ve never seen a fairy.” However, his mother always liked to call herself a fairy.

Fang Zikai clicked his tongue and said, “Our mother is a fairy maiden. A fairy maiden who has descended to the mortal world.”

“Then what is Dad?”

Perhaps because he couldn’t fall asleep, Fang Zicheng, who had always been a man of few words, began chatting with Fang Zikai in a good-natured manner.

What was his father?

Fang Zicheng thought for a while and said, “He should be a monkey.”

Hearing this clearly, Qiao Jiusheng woke up smiling with her eyes closed.

Fang Yusheng’s temper flared. He raised his leg and kicked Fang Zikai’s butt. “Sleep. If you speak again, I’ll throw you out.”

Fang Zikai shut his mouth.

Just as Fang Yusheng was about to fall asleep, Fang Zikai asked Fang Zicheng, “Brother, when a person is angry, their words are especially unpleasant. What is this called? There’s an idiom that I’ve seen on television in the past, but I’ve forgotten it.”

Fang Zicheng thought for a while and said, “Did he fly into a rage out of humiliation?”

“Yes! Yes!”

Fang Zikai rubbed his head against the back of Qiao Jiusheng’s foot and said, “Dad was just angry from embarrassment.”

Fang Yusheng wanted to sleep, but the two of them kept muttering to each other. They discussed the fact that Fang Yusheng was a monkey for more than ten minutes, and finally came to a conclusion—Fang Yusheng was not a monkey. If he was a monkey, then they were little monkeys.

After discussing this topic, they discussed whether there were any fairies in the sky. For some reason, the topic jumped to the cowherd and the weaver girl. Later on, the two little fellows began to talk about Valentine’s Day.

“I received three boxes of chocolates on Valentine’s Day. What about you, Brother?”

Fang Zicheng said, “No one dares to send me chocolates.”

They discussed for a long time about what to do with the gifts they would receive on Valentine’s Day in the future. Finally, they came to a unanimous answer. If they received delicious chocolate, they would eat it. If they received bad chocolate, they would take it out and sell it.

Fang Yusheng wanted to sleep, but he couldn’t. He was about to break down.

Qiao Jiusheng suddenly leaned over and covered his ears with her hands. “It’s fine. I’m here. I’ll sleep with you.”

Fang Yusheng kissed her, looking a little sad. “I shouldn’t have opened the door…”

“Who asked you to open it?”

The two of them hugged each other for an unknown period of time before falling asleep. The next morning, Fang Yusheng and the two children were asleep on the bed. Qiao Jiusheng woke up first. When Fang Yusheng got up, Qiao Jiusheng had already prepared breakfast. Fang Yusheng walked to the kitchen and hugged Qiao Jiusheng from behind. His tone was aggrieved. “I didn’t sleep well last night. Look at me, my eyelids are a little swollen.”

When Fang Yusheng didn’t get enough sleep, his eyelids would swell.

Qiao Jiusheng patted his arm with her free hand and said, “Who asked you to take them to a horror movie last night?”

“Quiet Fang kept pestering me to take a look. How would I have known that they were so timid?” Fang Yusheng would never bring the children to watch horror movies again. The two adults did not rest well, but the two little fellows did not know what was good for them. They slept until noon before waking up.

When they woke up, they were both refreshed.

When Fang Yusheng saw Fang Zikai, he couldn’t help but glare at him.

Fang Zikai felt innocent under Fang Yusheng’s glare.

“What did I do wrong this time?” He felt that Fang Yusheng must not love him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t always hate him so much. Fang Yusheng felt mentally tired. “You didn’t do anything wrong. I was in the wrong. I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted.” He shouldn’t have been soft-hearted and taken them to the movies.
