In the afternoon, after waking up, the three of them went downstairs.
Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie were sitting in the living room chatting. Seeing them, they greeted them with a smile.
Perhaps it was the power of blood ties or natural instinct, but after just one day, Ye Xingbei felt quite close to Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie.
It didn’t feel like they were strangers who had only met for a day.
In the evening after they had dinner, they all sat together and chatted for a while. The elderly couple went to bed early, leaving the rest of them.
With nothing else to do, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei took care of Lingyue, and then accompanied Xiao Shumiao back to their room.
Gu Junzhu took Xiao Shumiao to bathe first.
After the “father and son” duo finished bathing, it was Ye Xingbei’s turn.
She was washing when she felt the water was getting hot.
The knob to control the temperature was above her. She reached out to turn the knob, slipped, and fell sharply onto the ground.
Caught by surprise, she let out a scream and instinctively tried to grab onto something.
Unfortunately, luck was not on her side. She didn’t grab anything and tumbled to the floor with a painful cry.
The sudden scream startled Gu Junzhu and Xiao Shumiao, who were having fun on the bed.
Gu Junzhu swiftly rushed over, followed by Xiao Shumiao who was running as fast as his small legs could carry him.
Ye Xingbei found herself seeing stars from the impact of the fall and every part of her body ached. She lay on the floor, completely winded.
Gu Junzhu charged in and found her curled up on the floor, her face twisted in pain. His heart skipped a beat and he rushed to her side, gathering her into his arms.
“Mom!” The little boy was afraid, his voice choked with tears.
Ye Xingbei, wearing nothing, saw Xiao Shumiao enter. Gu Junzhu swiftly grabbed a towel, draped it over her body.
The little one ran up, clasping Ye Xingbei’s hand, his eyes filled with tears, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
“I’m okay,” Seeing her son frightened made Ye Xingbei quickly suppress the pain and force a reassuring smile, “Mom just tripped, it hurts a bit, but I’ll be fine soon.”
“Where does it hurt?” Xiao Shumiao looked at her sympathetically, “Xiao Shu will blow on it, after Xiao Shu blows on it, Mom won’t feel any pain.”
“Good boy!” Overwhelmed by her son’s earnest, tear-filled gaze, Ye Xingbei forgot about her pain. She adjusted the towel around her, moved close to him, and kissed his cheek, “Baby, be good. You go out now, Mommy’s not done bathing. Once Mommy finishes bathing, then you can come and blow on Mommy’s pain.”
“Mommy…” Xiao Shumiao gazed worriedly at her, reluctant to leave.
Ye Xingbei kissed him again, “Be a good boy. Listen, Mommy will finish in five minutes. Xiao Shu goes out and keeps an eye on the time, if Mommy is not out in five minutes, then Xiao Shu can come and find Mommy, okay?”
Xiao Shumiao reluctantly nodded and walked out, looking back every few steps.
Ye Xingbei forced herself to stand up, lightly pushed Gu Junzhu away, “I’m fine, you go and watch over Xiao Shumiao. He was scared and might be feeling afraid.”
After all, he was a five-year-old kid, and he didn’t understand much, so he was easily startled.
Gu Junzhu looked her up and down, “Can you manage on your own? I can help you bathe.”
“…Out!” Enduring the pain, Ye Xingbei pushed him out of the bathroom.
Seeing that she still had enough energy to push him, Gu Junzhu felt relieved and left, as their son needed someone with him after the scare.
Back under the shower, Ye Xingbei quickly finished bathing, dried herself off, put on her bathrobe, and limped back to the room..
