With Comparison Comes Hurt

"When the time comes, I'll get the auntie to skin the chicken."

Qiao Nan was rather picky when it came to food, especially when it came to boiling chicken soup. She insisted on the chicken being skinned. Something about the fat on the chicken skin being hard to digest and not being good for the body.

She refused to drink it otherwise and was especially careful when feeding the three children too. Under the leadership of Qiao Nan, the Zhai family also unconsciously adopted this habit. So when he talked about chicken soup today, Zhai Sheng provided additional explanations, which satisfied Qiao Nan.

"Brother Zhai, I'm sleepy."

"Just sleep if you're sleepy."

"I'm scared."

"…" It was rare for Zhai Sheng to have to coax Qiao Nan as though he were coaxing his children. "Don't be scared. Just go to sleep. I won't leave. I'll be with you forever. You still have us. You still have the three children."
