Admiration

Su Shen entered the room cradling his daughter in his arms. The noise stirred Gu Zi from her slumber. Sitting up in bed, she extended her arms towards her daughter, "Little Lele, have you been playing with water? Come here, let your father fetch your clothes."

Lele, too, spread her tiny arms wide, her legs kicking joyfully as she nestled into her mother's embrace. Su Shen watched the exchange, understanding why his daughter preferred her mother's hold. The woman was soft and fragrant, her voice soothing. Of course, Lele would favor her.

He turned to fetch Lele's clothes, "Rest here for a while. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Gu Zi had already changed out of her nightgown, now wearing a white round-necked long-sleeved shirt adorned with simple line patterns. 

Below her full chest was a slender waist, a waist so delicate he could encircle it with just one hand. And he had done just that, holding her by the waist as he took her.
