Chapter 649 - 525: Such a Hard Choice
Early the next morning, the sky was gently covered by a thin layer of clouds, and the sunlight seemed to be infected by this tranquility, reluctant to appear.
Occasionally, the chirping of birds could be heard outside the window, adding to the peacefulness and serenity. For most people, such a day was undoubtedly the best opportunity to curl up in a warm quilt and enjoy a long dream.
But guess what?
Qingqing and Weiwei, these two little ones, normally struggle to get up for school, but as soon as the holidays start, they’re up earlier than anyone else, as if they’ve been filled with energy.
The two sisters, dressed in cute fleece pajamas with Qingqing in a Pleasant Goat outfit and Weiwei in a Peppa Pig one, both wearing matching plush slippers and holding dolls that matched their pajamas, quietly slipped into Huang Jun’s room...
Inside the room.
Huang Jun was sleeping deeply, an eye mask gently covering his eyes.
Weiwei couldn’t help but lower her voice and curiously mumbled, "Huh? How come daddy isn’t awake yet? I can’t wait to go to the arcade."
"Yeah! Daddy usually wakes up earlier than us, and by now he should be making breakfast!"
Qingqing’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Weiwei turned to her and quietly asked, "Sister, why does daddy wear this mask while sleeping?"
Upon hearing this, Qingqing tilted her head, seriously pondering Weiwei’s question. She pointed to the eye mask on Huang Jun’s face and offered her guess, "Hmm, I think daddy wears this mask while sleeping to see things more clearly in his dreams, maybe?"
Before Weiwei could respond, Huang Jun slowly opened his eyes, catching Qingqing’s words as he emerged from the conversation, and a barely noticeable, gentle smile appeared on his lips.
Hearing her sister’s response, a big question mark appeared in Weiwei’s mind.
Though she didn’t understand, she chose to respect this innocent imagination.
"Yeah, that must be it~"
She turned to Qingqing, nodded in agreement, her eyes reflecting confusion and seeking help, lightly asking, "Sister, since daddy isn’t awake yet, what should we do now?"
This question also made Qingqing fall into a momentary contemplation.
It was as if there was a tangled ball of yarn in her little head. Eventually, she had a lightbulb moment and evasively said, "I think the reason daddy’s sleeping so quietly is because he didn’t sleep soundly enough!"
"Sister, how do you know that?"
Weiwei asked curiously, eyes filled with admiration for her sister’s wisdom.
Qingqing triumphantly raised her chin and said, "Because when daddy sleeps soundly, he snores. It sounds just like a little train chugging along. But now, if you listen closely, there’s no sound at all!"
"Huh, you’re right!"
Weiwei immediately perked up her ears, leaned in close to Huang Jun, and listened carefully, but all she heard was silence. Her eyes sparkled with surprise as she guessed, "Sister, do you think daddy might already be awake and just pretending to sleep to tease us?"
Oh~
What a smart little one...
You guessed it!
Huang Jun secretly admired them and, while trying to maintain a calm expression and repress his laughter, deliberately let out a few soft snores.
"Hahaha~"
The two little ones immediately understood and burst into hearty laughter, amused by this sudden rapport.
In an instant...
The room echoed with their crisp and pleasant laughter.
Qingqing laughed until she was bent over, pointing at Huang Jun, mercilessly exposing his little trick: "Daddy, you’ve been found out! How can it be that as soon as I mentioned snoring, you actually started snoring? You must have been awake all along, playing with us. Stop pretending, it must be tiring; get up already!"
"Yeah, daddy, stop pretending to sleep and get up to take us to the arcade!"
Weiwei also joined the "petitioning" lineup, cheerfully climbing onto the bed, calling loudly in Huang Jun’s ear.
Under this barrage, Huang Jun finally couldn’t keep up the act. He took off the eye mask, a doting smile on his lips, completely "surrendering": "Okay, okay, okay, daddy won’t tease you anymore!"
He gently reached out and pinched Weiwei’s soft little cheek, asking, "When did you wake up? Why are you up so early today?"
"Because I really want to go to the arcade with daddy..."
The two little ones beamed sweetly like two little angels when they saw him remove the eye mask.
Huang Jun deliberately curled up in the blanket, teasing them: "But the blanket is so warm, I don’t even want to get up, what should I do?"
"Hmm!"
Qingqing’s big eyes blinked thoughtfully, then she said in her baby voice, "Then if daddy doesn’t want to get up, don’t!"
After speaking, she considerately helped Huang Jun pull the blanket up a bit, making sure he could continue to rest comfortably and not catch a chill.
Seeing this, Weiwei, though somewhat resigned, considerately said, "Then daddy, you can keep sleeping, we can go to the arcade another day."
Finally, she carefully put the eye mask back on for Huang Jun.
Ah...
Gotta say.
Being doted on by these two sweetheart little cotton-padded jackets is truly the happiest thing in the world!
With a smile tugging at his lips, he continued to tease them: "But if daddy doesn’t get up, what if I get hungry?"
"No need to worry!"
Qingqing’s eyes gleamed with cleverness: "I can get some cookies for daddy to eat!"
