Xu Fan hung up the phone and went back inside to find Tongtong had already woken up.
Xu Yixue was sitting beside the bed, playing with Tongtong.
When Tongtong saw daddy, he climbed up from the bed and ran towards Xu Fan with his little short legs.
Xu Fan smiled, crouched down, and picked Tongtong up into his arms, lifting him high and said, "Did Tongtong just wake up?"
Tongtong said in a babyish voice, "When Tongtong opened his eyes and daddy wasn't there, Tongtong couldn't sleep anymore."
Xu Fan touched Tongtong's little nose and said, "Then Tongtong can play with mommy for a while. Daddy has some things to do, but when I come back, I'll play with Tongtong."
Tongtong immediately began to squirm restlessly in Xu Fan's arms.
"No, Tongtong wants to go out and play with daddy too."
"Daddy will return by noon and have lunch with Tongtong, okay?"
"No, no, daddy lied to Tongtong last time, it took so long to come back," his little hand gesturing a very long distance.
