Song Luli found Long Jie in Long Yat-sen's room. She smiled as she watched her husband cradle their boy in his arms, soothing him to sleep.
There was something attractive about husbands and babies together, Song Luli thought.
Long Jie then gently placed their son in his crib, and then he turned around to see her, quickly taking her hand to slip out of the room quietly. Outside the room, they looked at each other and chuckled.
It had been a game of theirs to see how fast and quietly they can slip in out of the room without disturbing their son's sleep. He was only two months old, and he consumed their time and energy, but they made the most of it.
Long Jie tucked Song Luli against him, nuzzling his face over her neck. He remembered how she looked when her belly swelled and when she waddled to walk, depending on him to put on her shoes.
