After Xiao Yingyi came back from the bathroom, she climbed directly onto Yan Xi's bed and nestled into her embrace.
"Mommy, can Yiyi sleep next to you?"
Yan Xi reached out and hugged Xiao Yingyi tightly, her tone unconsciously becoming more gentle.
"Of course Yiyi can sleep next to mommy."
Xiao Yingyi found a comfortable spot in Yan Xi's arms and slowly fell asleep, feeling satisfied.
Looking at the little girl in her arms, Yan Xi felt content.
The next morning.
When Yan Xi and Xiao Yingyi walked out of the bedroom together, Aunt Liu was cleaning in the hallway.
She seemed very interested in a painting hanging on the hallway wall and couldn't help but keep turning back to look at it as she swept the floor.
Yan Xi noticed her behavior and realized Aunt Liu had her eyes on that painting.
She pretended not to notice Aunt Liu's odd behavior, smiled gently, and spoke softly to Xiao Yingyi.
