The family of three had enjoyed a long-missed harmonious dinner together, and as night fell, a small incident occurred.
"I want to sleep with Mommy!" Little Niangao stood steadfastly by the side of the master bedroom's large bed, clinging to his little pillow.
Shen Chi was mentally plotting how to devour Lin Xiaoguai, naturally unwilling to have an extra glaring little light bulb around. Little Niangao was no longer an infant; if he were to wake up in the middle of the night because of their movements... Just the thought of that scenario made Shen Chi's teeth ache.
"Little Niangao, didn't you say you were a little man? Little men should sleep by themselves," Shen Chi coaxed.
"But I miss Mommy," Little Niangao said with tearful eyes, "And Dad, you're a big man, but you still sleep with Mommy every day."
Shen Chi choked, "Can that be the same? Your mom is my wife, men are supposed to sleep with their wives."
