Zuo Yi took out a bathtub from the storage room in the basement.
The bathtub was quite old. It wasn't big and was designed for children to bathe in, but the materials and craftsmanship were quite exquisite. It was thick and sturdy.
It reminded Zuo Yi of a lot of good memories from his childhood.
Carrying the oak bathtub back to the third floor, Zuo Yi first washed it clean in the bathroom, then filled it with hot water and made countless bubbles with the bath gel.
It was just like what his mother did for him back then.
"Baby!"
Zuo Yi shouted, "Come and take a bath!"
"Coming!"
With a clear answer, the Bao'er ran in with Teck in her arms, panting.
Her forehead was full of sweat, and a lot of her hair was stuck together. Her little face was red and cute.
She was crazy with Atay!
Zuo Yi lovingly wiped her sweat and said, "Take a bath and go to bed early. It's already very late."
In fact, it wasn't even nine o 'clock yet, but Zuo Yi, who didn't have much experience in parenting, knew that children should go to bed early and get up early. Making sure that enough sleep was good for her growth.
"Okay."
The Bao'er nodded obediently and said to Teck in her arms, "Atay, let's take a bath together."
She was about to put Teck in the bathtub when she said that.
Woof woof woof woof woof!
Teck barked loudly and desperately twisted its body to break free from the Bao'er's arms.
Zuo Yi was quick to react. He grabbed the back of its neck and put it down at the door.
Teck twisted its little butt and ran away quickly.
The Bao'er was surprised. "Atay."
Teck's reaction was too big and caught her off guard. She was a little scared.
Zuo Yi said, "Don't worry about it. Take a bath."
Bao'er said gloomily, "Alright."
She didn't know that the Three-Headed Abyss Hound was a fire-attribute magical beast. It didn't like water and bathed in lava.
It was normal for Teck to have such a big reaction.
Zuo Yi did not explain. He helped the Bao'er wash her hair and take a bath. Although he was a little flustered due to his lack of experience, he still enjoyed it and worked hard to be a qualified stay-at-home dad.
After the bath, Zuo Yi wrapped the little girl in a bath towel and carried her to the bedroom to change into pajamas. Then, he took a hairdryer to dry her hair.
At this time, Teck came out of nowhere and squatted by the bed, looking up at her with a flattering smile.
She wagged her little tail.
The Bao'er glanced at it and proudly turned its head away.
To show that he was angry.
Woo woo woo ~
Teck's smile disappeared. It showed an aggrieved expression, blinked its eyes, and whimpered softly.
The Bao'er could not hold on for more than three seconds. She said helplessly, "I forgive you."
Teck's expression changed instantly. It shouted happily and was about to jump onto the bed.
However, Zuo Yi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, slapped it down and said, "Lie on the ground. Don't run onto the bed!"
This guy was a wretch. If he didn't teach him a lesson, he would become a troublemaker.
Zuo Yi was not afraid that it couldn't understand. High-level magical beasts had high intelligence. Many of them had the talent of "language proficiency." The Three-Headed Abyss Hound was no exception.
Although Tek was still a cub, he was born with the talent of his race. In fact, when he grew to a certain extent, he would be able to speak. Back then, when Zuo Yi went to the Abyssal Portal, he often chatted with his mother.
Smack!
Teck's limbs twitched as it lay on the floor. Under Zuo Yi's tyranny, it trembled and did not dare to move.
This time, the Bao'er did not speak up for it.
Zuo Yi snorted and continued to dry the Bao'er's hair.
After drying it, he turned off the hairdryer and covered the little girl with the air-conditioner. He said softly, "Sleep."
"Okay."
The Bao'er nodded and yawned.
Today, she moved to a new house with her father. She got to know A Gu, A Guai, and Atay. She played with Atay for a long time and did not take a nap at noon. Now, she was very sleepy.
"Good night, Dad."
Leaning on the pillow and closing her eyes, the little girl quickly fell asleep.
Zuo Yi lowered the brightness of the lamp on the bedside table. He sat quietly by the bed for a long time before lowering his head and kissing her forehead.
"Good night, baby."
The Bao'er seemed to be dreaming of something. A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Zuo Yi quietly left her room.
As soon as Zuo Yi left, Teck, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, immediately pricked up his ears.
He listened for a moment, and after confirming that Zuo Yi was not outside the door, he sneakily got up, stretched out his paws, and sneakily climbed onto the bed. He lay down next to the Bao'er.
He twisted his round body and sniffed the Bao'er's face. He leaned his head against the pillow and closed his eyes.
The Bao'er pouted in her dream and murmured, "Dad, don't forget to buy steak for Atay."
Teck suddenly opened his eyes. After a while, he slowly closed them again.
The small room was quiet and peaceful.
…
"Atay!"
In the early morning, the Bao'er woke up in the Zuo Family Mansion.
The little girl in pajamas chased Teck all the way from the bedroom to downstairs. She bumped into Zuo Yi, who was preparing breakfast.
Zuo Yi put the porridge that he had just cooked on the table. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
The porridge was cooked in the rice cooker. He had set the time to put it in the pot last night, so he could eat it early in the morning. Then he went to Mrs. Fang's breakfast shop in town to buy steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk.
He wanted to let the little girl sleep a little longer, but she ran down by herself.
The Bao'er pointed at Teck, who was hiding under the table, and complained bitterly, "Atay, so much saliva!"
It turned out that she was woken up by Teck licking her face in the morning. Then she found that her face was full of this guy's saliva.
Teck: "Wuwuwu."
He was still feeling wronged. He didn't feel like he had done anything bad.
"It's okay."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Go wash your face. Don't forget to brush your teeth first. After you wash up, come down for breakfast."
In fact, the Cerberus's saliva was not only harmless, but also a high-quality magic material. In the world of Sadeya, some secret beauty ointments contained the Cerberus's saliva.
If it was harmful, Zuo Yi wouldn't tolerate Teck licking it, and he wouldn't give it to the Bao'er as a magic pet.
"I forgive you this time."
The Bao'er didn't really want to scold Teck. She took the opportunity to step down. "Don't do this again. I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth."
She already knew how to wash her face and brush her teeth. She also had her own toothpaste, toothbrush, and towel. She didn't need Zuo Yi's help.
Zuo Yi only needed to teach her how to turn on the hot water and adjust the temperature of the water heater.
As soon as the Bao'er turned to go upstairs, Teck crawled out from under the dining table and ran up the stairs quickly. He followed her obediently like a loyal lackey.
Zuo Yi couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this. The days ahead were going to be lively.
When the Bao'er came downstairs again after brushing her teeth and washing her face, Zuo Yi blew the hot porridge until it was just right and added a spoonful of sugar for her.
The steamed buns were still hot. He gave one to the Bao'er and a bunch to Teck.
He didn't want yesterday's scene to repeat itself.
Aunt Fang's steamed buns were very nice. The stuffing was made with fresh pork and the scallions they grew in their own fields. It was delicious and clean. It was Bao 'er's first time eating steamed buns, and she actually ate two.
As for Teck, there was nothing to say. If Mrs. Fang didn't give him a limited number, she wouldn't be able to feed him even if she worked herself to death.
After breakfast, Zuo Yi took the Bao'er to the city.
He still had a teaching job in Tenhiro Budokan. Although he only had one student, he had to be worthy of this job.
He couldn't leave the Bao'er alone at home, so he had to take her with him.
"Dad."
The Bao'er was of course willing to follow her father, but the problem was that Zuo Yi wanted to leave Teck behind. "Can't we take Atay with us?"
Zuo Yi said, "It's inconvenient to take him with us. It's fine to leave him at home."
"But …"
The Bao'er looked at Teck, who was squatting beside her and wagging his tail. She hesitated and said, "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if he's alone at home, he will quarrel with Guai and bully him."
Guai: I have something to say, but I don't know if I should.
Zuo Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, okay. Then we'll take Atay with us."
The Bao'er immediately beamed with joy. "Thank you, Dad. Atay will be very obedient. Atay, don't you think so?"
Teck nodded like he was pounding garlic.
I would like to thank everyone for their birthday wishes, and also thank my friends for their gifts. I have never stopped writing for twelve years, and it is because of your company and support that I am able to continue writing. Thank you!
