"Why? Why can't I follow them?" Tang Heng Nuo asked.
"If you do, you will not be able to see your papa, mama, Bo Lin and me ever again. Do you want that?" Yu Qi asked back.
Tang Heng Nuo was silent for a moment. She was thinking about that possibility. Then, she seemed to shake her head.
"No... No... I don't know that." Tang Heng Nuo said.
"Then, remember that." Yu Qi said.
"Then, I need to run away now." Tang Heng Nuo said.
"Huh? Why?" Yu Qi was confused.
"Because I don't know this sister." Tang Heng Nuo pointed to Ming Xuebai.
Ming Xuebai and Yu Qi were stunned again. That was right. The twin never met Ming Xuebai at first. It was their first time. Yu Qi should introduced Ming Xuebai first. "This sister is my friend. You guys can call her. Sister Xuebai." Yu Qi said.
Tang Heng Nuo stood up straight. She then bowed down to Ming Xuebai.
"Sister Xuebai, nice to meet you. I am Tang Heng Nuo. I am 2 years old." Tang Heng Nuo said in a childish voice while showing three fingers at Ming Xuebai.
"How cute..." Ming Xuebai said.
Tang Bo Lin approached Tang Heng Nuo and flipped down one of Tang Heng Nuo's fingers. "This is two. What you show just now is two."
Tang Heng Nuo smiled and nodded. She hugged Tang Bo Lin's arm.
"Hmm... I understand now. You are so smart, Bo Lin." Tang Heng Nuo said.
"Of course." Tang Bo Lin replied.
He then turned to Ming Xuebai. He bowed too. "I am Tang Bo Lin. Sister Yu Qi's younger brother."
Ming Xuebai laughed. "Seeing them makes me want to have a child too."
"Oh... Do you already have a partner?" Yu Qi asked. "You should tell your brother too." "What? No. I am still single." Ming Xuebai shook her head. She then continued. "Brother is the one who should get married before me. He is older than me."
"Well, that's true." Yu Qi nodded. She thought for a bit. "Should I give a vacation for him so that he will have time to think about relationships and marriage?"
"Well... I don't think he will be pleased about having a vacation. That workaholic." Ming Xuebai said.
"Well... I can not deny it." Yu Qi said.
Yu Qi and Ming Xuehai were pretty much the same when came to work.
"Sister Yu Qi..." Tang Bo Lin called for her.
She turned around to see Tang Heng Nuo had already fallen asleep.
"Oh... She already sleeps." Ming Xuebai said.
"It is their time to sleep." Yu Qi said when she looked at her watch.
"Hmm... You should get back to the room." Ming Xuebai said.
Yu Qi lifted Tang Heng Nuo and turned to Tang Bo Lin. "Let's go back to your room.
Tang Bo Lin nodded and followed Yu Qi. When they arrived at the room, it seemed Tang Jang Qin and Su Xiao were still in the hot spring. They entered the room. Yu Qi put Tang Heng Nuo on the bed.
"Come on. You need to sleep too." Yu Qi called Tang Bo Lin.
Tang Bo Lin obediently got onto the bed and lay down. Yu Qi put the blanket on Tang Bo Lin's
cover.
"The night here is chilly. You should cover up." Yu Qi said.
"Hmm... Sister, you should cover up too." Tang Bo Lin said.
"It's okay. I will accompany you to sleep first." Yu Qi said. "Hmm... Do you want me to sing lullaby?"
"Yes." Tang Bo Lin said.
Yu Qi started to sing a lullaby thousand years old. Her master often sang it for her when she was little. Tang Bo Lin slowly fell asleep. Yu Qi smiled to see the two angels sleeping soundly. Tang Heng Nuo kicked her blanket. Yu Qi went to cover her again.
At that moment, the door was opened. She turned around and saw the couple, Tang Jang Qin and Su Xiao entering the room. The couple who happily talked lowered down their voice as they saw their children were already slept.
"You put them to sleep? Thank you, Yu Qi." Su Xiao said.
"Heng Nuo fell asleep when we were still in the nursery. She was playing happily. Maybe because of the tiredness, she fell asleep more easily. Bo Lin just fell asleep." Yu Qi explained.
"I see." Su Xiao smiled as she looked at her children.
"I will return to my room now." Yu Qi said.
"Hmm..." Su Xiao nodded.
Yu Qi returned to the room. She wanted to enjoy the hot spring in her room. Since she was alone, she soaked in the hot spring nakedly. At a moment like this, she remembered Long Hui. She remembered what she was doing in this hot spring with Long Hui. She began to feel her face turning hot. She did not know what caused it. Her memory or the temperature itself.
She looked up seeing the star lining beautifully. It was much clearer here compared to the city. She was humming the lullaby that she sang earlier. She did not know when she fell asleep. She awoke from the sleep after hearing Aoi's voice calling her name.
She came out of the hot spring, took a quick shower and climbed onto the bed. She looked at the watch. It was already 2 a.m. She better go back to sleep.
