But the couple's pajamas could be taken out first.
After returning home, Shu Qingqing tossed the pajamas into the washing machine. Once washed, she dried them so they could be worn straight away tonight.
After taking a shower, she happily changed into the new pajamas. Just as she was admiring herself in the mirror, Lu Bochuan pushed the door open and walked in.
She immediately picked up the men's set. "Lu Bochuan, look, I bought couple's pajamas. This set is yours."
Lu Bochuan looked over. Shu Qingqing was wearing a pink striped pajama set with a little puppy pattern on it, while his was a dark gray set.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lu," Lu Bochuan took the pajamas. "But I'll need Mrs. Lu to do me a favor."
Shu Qingqing asked, "What is it?"
Lu Bochuan pulled her toward the bathroom. As soon as they went in, he started taking off his clothes.
Only then did Shu Qingqing realize that the favor Lu Bochuan mentioned was helping him bathe.
Since they were an old married couple, she didn't act coy. She directly filled the bathtub with water. "Come on."
Shu Qingqing helped him wash his hair first, and then started scrubbing his back.
At first, both of them were very calm. But as she scrubbed, Lu Bochuan's body began to react.
Shu Qingqing paused her movements. "Lu Bochuan, behave yourself."
Lu Bochuan's Adam's apple bobbed. "It's mainly because it gets very excited when it sees you."
Shu Qingqing's cheeks flushed red, and she sped up her movements.
After the bath, Shu Qingqing grabbed the pajamas and helped Lu Bochuan put them on. She had just buttoned him up and was about to turn around when she was suddenly pinned against the wall.
Dense kisses rained down on her, followed closely by a large hand reaching toward her waist.
"Don't." It took a lot of effort for Shu Qingqing to push the man off her. "Your arm is injured, you can't."
Lu Bochuan rested his forehead against hers, panting. A few seconds later, he suddenly lifted her chin. "Actually, there is a position..."
Before he could finish, Shu Qingqing immediately covered his mouth. "No, absolutely not. You need to rest and recover from your injury. Stop thinking about all this nonsense all day."
Shu Qingqing really liked this set of couple's pajamas and originally wanted to take a few photos of the two of them. But looking at Lu Bochuan, who was still... well, she had no choice but to drag him back into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, the two came out.
After lunch on the weekend, Shu Qingqing started moving to the new place.
Their belongings had been packed long ago, and since they wouldn't be staying there for long, they didn't bring much.
Therefore, it took less than an afternoon to get the house all sorted out.
Lu Xun was in a new place and was curious about everything, touching this and looking at that. "Mommy, are we going to live in this house from now on?"
Shu Qingqing replied, "We're only staying for two months. Once your brother finishes his college entrance exam, we'll move back."
Lu Xun asked, "What is a college entrance exam?"
Lu Yu walked over and rubbed his hair. "It's just a test."
Lu Xun tilted his head. "What's a test? Is it fun?"
Lu Yu thought for a moment. "Some people think it's fun, and some people don't. But if you get the result you want, it's pretty fun."
Lu Xun only understood the word "fun." "Then I want to play with my brother too."
Listening to their conversation, Shu Qingqing suddenly thought of Lu Xun's abysmal grades many years later.
She secretly shook her head, hoping that Lu Xun would still remember his words today when he grew up.
Lu Xun couldn't sit still after running around the house for a while and insisted on going outside to take a look, so Lu Yu took him out.
Just as Shu Qingqing sent the two of them out, the door opposite theirs happened to open.
A slightly plump woman with curly hair walked over with a friendly smile on her face. "Did you guys just move in? Why do you look a bit familiar? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
Shu Qingqing smiled. "Yes, we just moved in. My son studies at the First High School next door."
The slightly plump woman suddenly clapped her hands. "I remember now! You're Lu Yu's mom, right? You gave a speech at the opening ceremony. No wonder I thought you looked familiar. My son also goes to First High School. He's a senior too, in Class Nine. Lu Yu's mom, I heard Lu Yu gave up his guaranteed admission and plans to take the exam himself."
Shu Qingqing nodded.
"Oh my, Lu Yu's mom, how did your family raise such an outstanding son?" The slightly plump woman insisted that Shu Qingqing share some parenting experience.
What parenting experience did Shu Qingqing have? It was all thanks to Lu Bochuan's good genes and Lu Yu's own hard work.
"It's mainly because Lu Yu is very self-disciplined."
The slightly plump woman said, "Then you are truly blessed. By the way, Lu Yu's mom, what do you feed Lu Yu every day?"
This stumped Shu Qingqing again.
She slept until ten o'clock every day. How would she know what Lu Yu ate for breakfast?
The slightly plump woman continued, "Oh dear, at this stage, you absolutely cannot be careless with their diet. If you aren't paying attention and their nutrition doesn't keep up, it will affect their studies. I get up at five thirty every morning to make breakfast for my son, and lunch is also..."
The slightly plump woman blabbered on and on, making Shu Qingqing realize even more what an unqualified mother she was.
So, she learned from her painful realization and decided to play the role of a good mother starting tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Lu Bochuan was sound asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a ringing sound. It was the alarm on Shu Qingqing's phone.
It was only five thirty.
Lu Bochuan thought she had set the alarm by mistake. Just as he turned it off, he saw Shu Qingqing groggily open her eyes. "Is it five thirty?"
"Yes, go back to sleep, it's still early." Lu Bochuan hugged her from behind and gently patted her shoulder.
But Shu Qingqing struggled to sit up. "No, I have to get up and make breakfast for Lu Yu."
Lu Bochuan was confused. "Isn't Nanny Li here?"
"It's not the same." Shu Qingqing put on her clothes and went to the bathroom to wash her face, which finally woke her up properly.
Seeing that she was really going to cook, Lu Bochuan had no choice but to get up as well.
While cooking, Shu Qingqing told Lu Bochuan what the slightly plump woman had said yesterday. "So I need to learn from that parent and be a qualified mother."
Seeing her so full of enthusiasm, Lu Bochuan quickly praised her a few times.
At six thirty, Lu Yu got up. After washing up, he walked into the dining room, only to see his parents wearing couple's pajamas and bustling about in the kitchen.
Seeing that he was up, Shu Qingqing quickly brought the breakfast over. "Lu Yu, quickly sit down. This is a breakfast of love I made for you with my own hands. Hurry up and try it."
Lu Yu took a bite of the fried egg. "It's very delicious."
"Right?" Shu Qingqing beamed happily and made a bold declaration on the spot. "From today on, I am going to be an all-around mother! Laundry! Cooking! Tutoring homework! Lu Yu, your senior year will be guarded by me!"
Lu Yu nodded. "Thank you, Mom."
Shu Qingqing laughed, "Hehehe, no need to be polite, eat up, eat up."
Lu Yu had morning reading at seven o'clock. Right after he left, Lu Xun got up.
Seeing Shu Qingqing, Lu Xun was a bit surprised. He rubbed his eyes with his little hands, and after confirming it was really Shu Qingqing, he ran over and hugged her thigh. "I actually saw Mommy in the morning! I'm so happy."
Shu Qingqing: ...
Shu Qingqing pinched his cheek. "You little brat, what do you mean? Are you calling Mommy lazy?"
Lu Xun shook his head. "Mommy isn't lazy. My brother said Mommy is a little fairy who needs enough sleep to be even more beautiful, so Mommy doesn't have to get up in the morning."
After saying that, he looked puzzled again. "Huh, then why did Mommy get up today?"
Shu Qingqing was absolutely thrilled by his sweet words. "Because a little fairy came down to earth! From now on, you will see Mommy every single morning."
Lu Xun instantly lit up with joy. "Yay! Does that mean Mommy can take me to kindergarten every morning?"
Shu Qingqing raised an eyebrow. "Of course!"
Lu Xun turned his head and spoke to Nanny Li with the serious air of a little adult. "Nanny Li, you don't have to wake up early in the mornings anymore. Mommy can take me to kindergarten."
Nanny Li looked at Shu Qingqing, who had just let out several yawns, and thought to herself that this was highly unlikely.
