Chapter 886: Chapter 844: A Story
Ran Xiangsi lay in the middle, with her sons on either side.
Little Yuan, being young, loved to cling to his mother, holding onto her arm and refusing to let go.
Little Ye, on the other hand, was more mature for his age and knew he was a manly man, strong, and never clung to his mother.
Ran Xiangsi noticed Little Ye sleeping far away by himself, so she reached over and pulled him in close, holding him tight.
Little Ye blushed and shrank back, "It’s too stuffy..."
Ran Xiangsi thought to herself, well, he’s already making excuses.
So she simply gathered him into her arms, lowered her head, and kissed his forehead, "Mommy doesn’t feel stuffy! Little Ye, be good and let Mommy hold you, okay?"
"..." Hearing Mommy’s voice, Little Ye’s heart melted and he stopped resisting.
Actually, he really liked being held and spoiled by Mommy.
But Grandpa said, a true man cannot be with his mommy all the time; he must learn to be strong.
But... well, since Grandpa wasn’t here, could he linger in Mommy’s arms a bit longer?
Thinking this, Little Ye also hugged Mommy. Although his face still looked cool, his eyes softened a lot.
Little Yuan, seeing his brother hugging Mommy, didn’t want to be left out and scooted over, waving for a hug, "Little Yuan wants a hug too! Mommy..."
"Alright, alright, Little Yuan wants a hug too!" Ran Xiangsi chuckled and pulled Little Yuan into her embrace.
It was rare to have the chance to hold both her sons, one on each side. Ran Xiangsi felt very content, and at the same time, a little reluctant...
"When Mommy’s not here, you must listen to Daddy, okay?"
Ran Xiangsi knew the kids were well-behaved, but she couldn’t help but remind them.
"Okay." Little Ye replied, while Little Yuan didn’t take it seriously at all, yawning with his mouth wide open, "Little Yuan wants to hear a story, Mommy tell a story..."
"Alright!" Ran Xiangsi readily agreed, her mind racing to retrieve various stories she had stored away. "How about a story about a shepherd?"
"Yay, yay!" Little Yuan clapped his small hands in anticipation.
Seeing her son so supportive, Ran Xiangsi thought for a moment and began, "A long, long time ago..."
Upon hearing this, Little Ye couldn’t help but twitch his eyebrows violently!
A long, long time ago... such an old-fashioned story.
He hadn’t listened to these childish stories since he was two; they were really naive.
But...
Today, with Mommy and his little brother here, and Mommy in such high spirits, it wouldn’t hurt to listen.
Don’t misunderstand, he’s definitely not interested in such childish and tacky stories; he just wants to hear more of Mommy’s voice...
Ran Xiangsi’s story continued.
"A long, long time ago, there was a shepherd who had many little sheep.
One day, while herding the sheep up the mountain to graze, he suddenly encountered a great storm.
The fierce wind blew, scattering the shepherd and the sheep.
The shepherd fell into a deep ravine..."
Just at this point, Little Yuan closed his eyes and fell soundly asleep.
Little Ye was also feeling sleepy, but he tried to stay awake to listen to Mommy’s story.
"The shepherd was separated from his sheep, and he sat at the foot of the mountain, disappointed and crying sadly.
Just then, from outside the cave, came the soft sound of ’baa...’"
Ran Xiangsi, telling the story, looked down to find both little ones fast asleep.
And they said they wanted to hear a story! In the end, she only managed to tell half of it...
