Willing to Care for Him

Not long after Fu Hanjiang left, the medicine arrived.

That evening, Junjun started using it smoothly.

The effect was good, but the side effect was — too much energy.

It was already past 8:30 PM, and normally, the little one would be fast asleep by this time, but tonight, she was adamantly refusing to sleep.

"Junjun." Sheng Xiangsi patted the bed, "Come here and sleep with Mommy."

"Okay!"

Junjun agreed, lying down on the bed, but her eyes remained wide open, grinning, "Mommy, hehe..."

"Still laughing?" Sheng Xiangsi was both amused and exasperated, "It's time to sleep!"

"Hehehe..."

Junjun continued giggling and playing, and both Sheng Xiangsi and Xu Chun took turns trying to coax her, but nothing seemed to work.

Xu Chun's phone rang; it was Fu Hanjiang calling.

"Mr. Fu."

"Yes," Fu Hanjiang was alone tonight and couldn't sleep, so he called to check on Junjun.

"Has she taken the medicine? How is Junjun doing?"

Xu Chun glanced at the lively Junjun, "She's doing well, actually too well, and won't go to sleep."

"Is it Uncle?"

Junjun, always sharp, immediately got up and reached for the phone, "Junjun wants to talk to Uncle!"

"Alright, alright." Xu Chun smiled and handed her the phone.

"Uncle."

Just hearing the little one's voice confirmed the medicine's effectiveness. Fu Hanjiang's expression relaxed, a smile spreading across his face.

"It's so late, Junjun is still not sleeping?"

"Uncle, Junjun is looking at the moon! The moon is so beautiful."

"Really?"

Fu Hanjiang walked to the window and looked up. The crescent moon at the beginning of the month looked like a slender little boat.

"Junjun needs to sleep, and the moon needs to sleep too."

Kids these days weren't easily fooled, "Uncle is lying. The moon is hanging in the sky. How can it sleep?"

Fu Hanjiang rubbed his temples, "Well then, Uncle will invite the moon down to keep Junjun company while she sleeps, okay?"

"Really?" Junjun was skeptical.

"Really." Fu Hanjiang said solemnly, "Just wait a bit, and the moon will come to sleep with Junjun."

"Okay!" Junjun agreed happily, "Junjun will wait."

After hanging up, Junjun blinked her big eyes, "Mommy, Uncle said he will bring the moon to sleep with Junjun!"

"Mommy heard."

Sheng Xiangsi sighed inwardly, wondering what Fu Hanjiang was up to. Wasn't Junjun already lively enough? Now she wouldn't sleep, waiting for the moon.

With no other choice, she pulled out a storybook and started reading to Junjun.

Junjun listened to the story while occasionally glancing at the door.

Before long, there was a knock on the door. Leading the way was the night nurse, followed by someone in a uniform, looking like a delivery person.

The nurse smiled, "Ms. Xu Chun, your delivery is here."

"That's me." Xu Chun immediately stepped forward, glanced at Junjun, and suspiciously asked, "Could it be that your uncle really sent the moon?"

Indeed, he had.

The delivery was a lamp.

Placed in the corner, it looked ordinary. But once it was turned on... a moon appeared over the bed.

To be precise, the moon enveloped the entire bed.

"Wow! Haha..."

Junjun laughed with delight, pulling Sheng Xiangsi, "Mommy, look! The moon! Uncle sent Junjun the moon!"

The delivery person explained, "This can be adjusted from the size of a crescent moon to a full moon. It's touch-controlled."

"Very nice," Xu Chun nodded, marveling, "Mr. Fu really went out of his way."

After delivering the lamp, the delivery person left.

Junjun finally lay down in her mother's arms, and Sheng Xiangsi pinched her nose, "Not fussy anymore? The moon is here to keep you company."

"Hehe, yes."

Junjun hugged her mother, content.

"Close your eyes." Sheng Xiangsi kissed her daughter, "Sleep now, Junjun and the moon will sleep together."

Junjun obediently closed her eyes, her long lashes casting shadows on her cheeks like little fans.

"Mommy."

The little fans fluttered slightly, her voice muffled, "If... if only Uncle were Daddy."

Hearing this, Sheng Xiangsi was stunned, looking down at her daughter.

Did Junjun really say that? Did she really like Fu Hanjiang that much?

Her daughter gradually fell asleep, but Sheng Xiangsi lay there, feeling lost and unable to sleep for a long time.

...

The next day, Sheng Xiangsi didn't let Fu Hanjiang pick her up from the dance troupe. He had a dinner engagement tonight, so she went to Yintan Beach by herself.

As she was leaving the hospital, Dr. Wan informed her that Junjun's condition was stable and that she could be discharged after tomorrow's treatment.

She knew it was thanks to Fu Hanjiang's medicine.

Arriving at Yintan Beach earlier than usual, she stopped by a supermarket and bought some things.

When Fu Hanjiang returned, the sweet smell from the kitchen greeted him as soon as he entered the living room.

He glanced in that direction and, to his surprise, saw a slender figure — Xiangsi.

Changing his steps, he walked towards the kitchen.

At the island counter, Sheng Xiangsi was wearing an apron, her hair loosely tied in a bun secured with a chopstick, busy with something.

A beautiful woman is always a pleasing sight.

But Fu Hanjiang frowned, displeased, "Why are you doing this? Where are the maids?"

And, "It's this late, haven't you eaten?"

"You're back."

Sheng Xiangsi looked up at him, smoothing her hair, "She finished her tasks, so I let her go."

Guessing his misunderstanding, she smiled, "She cooked dinner before leaving, and I've already eaten."

Really?

Fu Hanjiang looked at her, puzzled, "Then what are you busy with?"

Dressed like this, she was clearly cooking something.

"For you," Sheng Xiangsi smiled gently.

"For me?"

Sheng Xiangsi nodded, "It's almost done."

She turned off the stove and lifted the lid.

Fu Hanjiang stepped closer and saw a bowl inside the pot, with an unpeeled pear in it.

"You've been coughing, haven't you?"

Sheng Xiangsi explained, "I bought pears and Chuanbei powder at the supermarket. I scooped out the core, filled it with the powder, and steamed it like this."

As she spoke, she put on gloves and took the bowl out.

"It's too hot now. Let it cool before you eat. This is great for coughs. When I was little, my grandma used to steam pears like this for me when I coughed, and it always worked..."

She looked up to see him staring at her, speechless.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Xiangsi was puzzled, "Don't you believe it?"

"No..."

Fu Hanjiang shook his head, suddenly bending down to hug her.

"Xiangsi, thank you. You've worked hard."

"?" Sheng Xiangsi was surprised, smiling, "It's not hard at all. It's simple and no trouble. It wasn't any trouble at all."

Fu Hanjiang couldn't help but smile. The task was simple, but it was touching that Xiangsi was willing to do it for him.

"Xiangsi."

Fu Hanjiang lifted her chin with one hand, "Do you like me?"

He knew she had liked Zhong Pei and maybe hadn't forgotten him yet... but what about him?

"Do you like me a little now?"
