By the time the couple returned to their new bedroom, Buding had woken up and was playing in the living room with Sister Ding.
Confronted with the unfamiliar surroundings, his curiosity outweighed anything else. Having not seen his mom all day, the moment he spotted Li Si, he stretched out his arms and whimpered, demanding to be held.
Li Si quickly changed into slippers, washed her hands, and picked up Buding, gently stroking his soft hair. "My little one! Did you miss Mommy?"
Buding instinctively lunged toward his source of nourishment, leaving Li Si both laughing and crying.
Leng Mochen chuckled while patting his son's eager little face. "You rascal! Seeing Mommy, and this is all you think about!"
In the end, the couple carried Buding to their room.
After feeding the child, they played with him for a while until he fell sound asleep, at which point Leng Mochen carefully carried him downstairs to Sister Ding's room.
