Chapter 724: The Chaos

Boyuan didn’t get a response even after calling a few times. He lost his patience, so he reached out with two fingers and pinched Ningning’s nose.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, Ningning opened his eyes, “Dad, what are you doing?”

After prying away his dad’s fingers, he gasped for breath.

Seeing that he was finally awake, Boyuan retracted his hand without a tinge of guilt, “Get up and take a bath.” After saying that, he grabbed the corner of the blanket and yanked forcefully.

Before he knew what was happening, Ningning was tossed and rolled a few times on the bed as the swaddle came undone, he looked quite in a daze after that.

“Hurry up, the water is getting cold.”

“Okay.” Ningning carefully slid down from the edge of the bed.

“Step in. Don’t mess around, understand?”

Ningning was not stupid. He knew that only he and his father were here, so he could not provoke his father. It would be a different story if his mom, grandparents, and great-grandfather were here.

So, okay. No messing around!

Ningning dipped his toes into the water first to test the temperature, when he had ascertained that it was just nice, he gingerly stepped into the basin.

Boyuan found a small towel and began to bathe his son in the basin.

When he bathed Ningning occasionally, they would use the shower. It was very convenient as the water could be turned on and off at any time. But now, it was more difficult as they only had the water in the basin. It might not be enough to wash Ningning’s hair.

“Ningning, sit down first.”

“Okay.”

Although he was small, the water still overflowed a little after he sat down.

“Raise your head.”

“Okay.”

It was alright at first when Boyuan rinsed Ningning’s hair with water but when he applied the kids’ shampoo, Ningning started to wail, “Aaah, aaah! Dad, it’s in my eyes. It’s so uncomfortable.”

“Close your eyes. Just bear with it. It’ll be over soon.”

How could someone bear with shampoo in their eyes?

“Dad! I’m so uncomfortable. My ears… there is water in my ears.”

Boyuan was in a frenzy, wiping Ningning’s eyes and ears. In the end, the clothes that he had just changed into were all wet.

“Mo Zhining, shut up!” He was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

They were not the only ones in a state of chaos. The other families were in similar situations.

The Ye family and the Wu family were slightly better off as their children were already five years old and could handle most things on their own. They could bathe themselves, they only needed their dads to prepare the water for them.

After the bath, Boyuan let out a long breath before carrying Ningning to the bed and helping him put on his pajamas, then he told Ningning, “Stay on the bed. You are not allowed to come down. Do you understand?”

“Dad, are you going out?”

Wasn’t it obvious? His clothes were wet, the shower he had taken earlier had been in vain.

“I’m just going to the courtyard, I will be back soon. Aren’t you sleepy? Then sleep first.”

Ningning nodded, “Okay.”

Boyuan turned to leave but just as he reached the door, Ningning stopped him, “Dad.”

“What’s the matter now?”

Ningning pouted, “Didn’t you say that I can call mom tonight?” He did not forget about it and was longing to talk to his mom.

Boyuan replied, “Wait here, I’ll go check.”

“Okay, Dad.”

Boyuan returned with his phone that had been confiscated previously. Throwing it to Ningning, he said, “Call mom yourself. I’m going to take a shower.”

Ningning instantly pounced on the phone and called his mom immediately.
