Chapter 818: Throw Him Over There
Jiang Youzhi brought over the copper pot and wooden bucket.
You Er was still nursing in Yun Jiao’s arms, and Jiang Youzhi looked at the little guy with a bit of envy.
He adjusted the water temperature, removed Yun Jiao’s shoes and socks, and began to wash her feet.
Some people, perhaps, are truly crafted by the heavens; Yun Jiao’s pair of jade-like feet were exquisitely delicate, fair and petite, slender without showing bones.
Jiang Youzhi reached out to grab her foot, and Yun Jiao chuckled lightly, "Ticklish~"
Jiang Youzhi’s eyes darkened slightly, his hand paused, and he took a cloth to carefully wipe and wash her feet.
Yun Jiao switched sides for You Er to feed.
Jiang Youzhi held her smooth jade foot in his hand, glanced at Yun Jiao, and felt even more tormented. Once he finally finished washing her feet, he quickly took the foot wash outside.
Finally, when You Er ate and fell asleep, Yun Jiao adjusted her clothing.
Jiang Youzhi came over and reached out to hold You Er, "Where should we put this little guy?"
Yun Jiao teased, "What do you mean ’this little guy,’ your son is called You Er!"
Jiang Youzhi looked down at the child in his arms and smiled broadly, "This little guy’s nose and mouth look like mine."
Yun Jiao washed her face, and Jiang Youzhi put down You Er and came over to lift Yun Jiao to the bedside.
Taking advantage of the moment, he leaned over, just about to lower his head to kiss Yun Jiao, when he suddenly heard a hum.
He saw You Er, who had just fallen asleep, awake, looking at him innocently with his mouth open.
Jiang Youzhi’s face darkened, "Where did you just put this little guy? Put him back there!"
Yun Jiao pushed him away and sat up, holding You Er in her arms and gently patting him, "That won’t do, there was no other choice just now. Such a small child needs someone to watch over him all the time."
She glanced at Jiang Youzhi and said, "Don’t even think about it, I’m only just a month postpartum, my body hasn’t fully recovered."
Jiang Youzhi leaned over and kissed her, taking You Er from her arms, "Then you lie down and rest, I’ll put him to sleep."
Since giving birth to You Er, Yun Jiao hadn’t had a proper night’s sleep; every night, she was woken up two or three times by You Er to feed him.
Little babies get hungry every couple of hours, and when they’re hungry, they don’t care if it’s the middle of the night, they’ll cry.
Yun Jiao was really exhausted, yawned, and lay down, and as soon as she lay down, she quickly fell asleep.
Jiang Youzhi coaxed You Er to sleep, placed him on the inside of the bed, and lay down beside Yun Jiao.
He wanted to reach out and hold her, but was afraid of waking her, so he cautiously snuggled close to her, staring unblinkingly at her in the dark.
The last time they met in a hurry, he didn’t have time to properly look at her.
In the middle of the night, You Er woke up again.
Jiang Youzhi quickly got up and first changed his diaper.
When Jiang Youzhi was young, he had changed diapers for Liu Lang, so this wasn’t difficult for him.
After changing the diaper, he carefully lifted Yun Jiao’s clothing, bringing You Er close.
Yun Jiao was truly exhausted, these past few days of taking care of You Er alone had her constantly on edge, she was severely sleep-deprived, and in her haze, she felt Jiang Youzhi taking care of the child, so she slept assured.
This night was the most complete sleep Yun Jiao had had in over a month.
In the morning, when she opened her eyes, she saw You Er already awake, lying there with his eyes darting around.
Jiang Youzhi stood by the bed, his clothes neat, clearly having been up for a while, "I just changed You Er’s diaper, you just need to feed him."
"I’ll go make you something to eat."
He said, opening the door to leave, and after a while, came back with two bowls of pickled vegetable noodles, one bowl topped with an egg, "There isn’t much good around here, make do with this, once you’ve eaten, we’ll be on our way."
