That night Yu Dong's room was filled with laughter and babyish giggles. Yu Dong tickled Little Bun's tummy, the latter giggled laughed with glee every time his mother rubbed her nose on his tummy.
Yu Mai the sensible Little Uncle didn't bother his sister while she was bonding with her son. He simply laid on his side of the bed and watched his sister play with his nephew.
His smile never left his face. Throughout the time he spent working at the restaurant he never thought that there would be a day when he would lie next to his sister and watch such a lovely scene.
Even his dreams were full of darkness but now, his dreams were full of light. He had three brothers-in-law who would hold him to sleep when he was scared.
And his sister would always make him delicious food when he was upset. He was satisfied with this alone and -most importantly it was a bit embarrassing for him to fight for his sister's attention with a baby!
"Alright Bun Bun, it's bedtime let's sleep alright?" Yu Dong had played around with Little Bun enough. She was tired after running around the entire village after waking up at four in the morning.
She was already tired to her bones, but now after playing around with Little Bun she felt like her bones were getting crushed.
Even her arms were shaking with just the efforts of carrying Little Bun in her arms. No wonder they said that twenty minutes with a baby felt more like two hours.
Little Bun wanted to play some more but then he thought about how he wanted to be a good child in front of his mother and immediately nodded.
He was a sweet child so he will definitely listen to his mother, so he didn't make a fuss and simply let his mother lay him down on her bed.
(Chen Mi: ooooho would you look at that ??? This brat is a sweet child??)
Yu Mai who finally got his chance immediately grinned, clutching his blanket he softly said. "Sister.. I want to listen to a bedtime story."
Lang Ruru told him that the stories that her mother told were really nice and entertaining.
As Yu Dong laid down Little Bun, she was actually thinking about what story she should tell Yu Mai.
The world where she lived didn't have any children friendly stories. Parents were too busy saving their lives from zombie invasions, when would they have the time to tell their kids 'children stories'?
It was good enough that they could get a mouthful of food! So for the first time in her life Yu Dong finally found something she wasn't good at.
She too wanted to tell Yu Mai a good story but nothing came to her mind. She always worked as a straight collar officer so her creative ability was at the bottom.
She hesitated and looked down at Yu Mai but upon seeing his glimmering eyes that were shining with expectations she couldn't bring herself to say no- she could only grit her teeth and come up with a random story but what came in her mind was-Zombies.
"So the Princess ran forward and slashed all the zombies that were running towards her. She spilt them in half to save her Prince." Yu Dong tried her best to come up with a decent story but in the end..this was the best she could come up with.
According to her she had managed to make a decent story by skipping the gory details but she forgot that the kids were not from the apocalypse world.
For them a walking dead was scary enough. So by the time Yu Dong finished her story. Yu Mai have buried himself in his blanket and only his eyes could be seen as for Little Bun this little devil, he have dived inside his blanket leaving only his butt facing outside.
Yu Dong looked at the two of them acting like this and couldn't help but ask. "What's wrong? What's a matter with you two? Was the story bad?"
Yu Mai was terrified and so was Little Bun but they still wanted to sleep with their sister/mother in the same bed so they tightened their hearts and summoned whatever courage they had. Yu Mai responded "It was good sister, it was really good I was so excited that I clutched my blanket the entire time in excitement."
Even Little Bun who was daring enough to drive his daddy mad muttered a lot of childish gibberish to please his mother. Aye to woo a woman was a road to sufferings.
Yu Dong too didn't think that there was anything bad about her story after all her brothers used to listen to even scarier stories with all the screams and gory details intact.
Compared to that she had done a good job! At least she managed to avoid all the gory details and even added a prince and princess with a romantic touch in it, don't all kids like these kinds of stories?
"Would you like to listen to one more?" Now that she have gotten the hang of this storytelling skill she was confident enough to make one or more stories.
'Oh bless our hearts' the two kids stared at her for quite a while and then suddenly shook their heads together. "No it's alright sister. Mai is tired. Mai wants to sleep."
Little Bun nodded his head in agreement.
They were afraid that they will not be able to listen to such a 'good' story again!
Yu Dong:'?????'
Didn't they say that it was a good story and they liked it too so why were they reacting like she wanted to eat them?
But when she heard that they were sleepy she didn't continue. She laid down next to them gently patting their tummies as she hummed a lullaby that she knew of. "Little zombie lost his way, oh he is afraid his mommy will decay -"
Yu Mai and Little Bun:"…" again with the zombies ????
That night Yu Dong was fast asleep but next to her both Yu Mai and Little Bun squirmed they were dreaming about being eaten.
