Regarding whether to have another cub, Qin Zhao and Jing Li's attitude has always been to let nature take its course, without forcing it or deliberately avoiding it.

But after so many years, Jing Li has never had a baby again, which shows that this matter is not that easy.

Originally, Jing Li didn't care about this, but he didn't know why. Ever since Qin Zhao said that joke that day, he always thought of it.

This thought is like those small seeds planted by the little fish, sprouting in my heart one after another, without control.

But Jing Li had no idea what to do specifically.

He is fundamentally different from Shuang'er of this era. In fact, he hasn't even figured out when or how he got the baby last time.

The only thing I can do is to make a wish silently in my heart, plus...

How many more times?

Jing Li secretly glanced at Qin Zhao, who was carefully sorting out documents.

It was already dark at this moment, but today the Song scholar sent Qin Zhao a lot of documents that needed to be sorted out. Qin Zhao was still working overtime at this moment.

The other party was sitting upright, looking so serious and meticulous.

But he was thinking about these things...

Jing Li looked away, her ears feeling a little hot for no reason.

"Daddy, I've finished the painting!" The boy in his arms tugged on his sleeve and showed him the simple drawing he had just drawn.

On the rice paper are two small fish drawn in simple strokes, one large and one small. The little fish has not yet systematically learned how to draw. Jing Li only occasionally taught him how to draw in his spare time. However, after he drew it a few times, he was able to do it.

The details are described very accurately, and the picture is simple but lifelike.

It’s true that he inherited Qin Zhao’s smart genes.

"It's better than last time." Jing Li praised, "I will reward you with crispy candy tomorrow."

Little Fish: "Okay!"

Someone knocked on the door, and Ah Qi opened the door and walked in: "Madam, it's time for the young master to go to bed."

The little fish's smile froze on his face.

He threw away the things in his hand and without saying a word, he crawled into Jingli's arms.

After moving back to the capital, Qin Zhao specially prepared a room for Xiaoyuzai, hoping that he would learn to sleep on his own. It was said that he thought that Xiaoyuzai had reached the age to learn to be independent, but in fact he felt that this little cub was getting in the way.

.

Xiaoyu Zai has reached the age of remembering things. Qin Zhao and Jing Li don't dare to be too intimate in front of him, and they have to hide and hide everything they do.

No one can bear it as time goes by.

But the little fish doesn't care about this.

He has been sleeping with Jing Li since he was born. It's okay to be "kicked out" of the room once or twice, but of course he can't accept it if he is asked to sleep alone for a long time.

This kid is very smart now. He relies on his father to pamper him. Whenever Ah Qi comes to pick him up, he will crawl into Jing Li's arms, softly call daddy twice, and then squeeze out some tears after being aggrieved. Jing Li...

Just be soft-hearted.

Because of this, the room sharing plan has been implemented for ‌ months, and the little fish has very little time to actually go back to his own room to sleep.

Tonight, the little fish boy was also unwilling to compromise.

He buried his face in Jing Li's arms, grabbed Jing Li's front with his small hands, and protested silently.

"Starting to act coquettishly again." Qin Zhao put down the brush in his hand, feeling helpless, "Yuzai, how did you promise me the day before yesterday?"

The little fish cub glanced at him quietly and said pitifully: "I want to sleep with daddy..."

The little cub has grown a little more in the past few years. His little face is delicate, pink, and chubby. He looks so cute no matter how cute he looks. Just when Jing Li was about to compromise, he suddenly remembered his little thoughts just now and said: "

Can't."

Even the little fish cub was shocked.

Jing Li pulled Zai Zi out of his arms, and his attitude was unusually firm: "Yu Zai, did you promise dad two days ago that you would sleep alone for the rest of this month? How can a man keep his word?"

The little kid blinked and forgot to continue pretending to be pitiful.

Jing Li didn't give him a chance to struggle anymore, and decided to let Ah Qi take the child away, even promising half a bag of candied fruits as a temptation. The little kid finally wavered in front of the snacks and followed Uncle Ah Qi obediently.

After sending the boy away, Jing Li closed the door and saw Qin Zhao looking up at him.

"What do you want me to do?" Jing Li asked.

"I was wondering what other evil ideas you were planning today." Qin Zhao smiled and said, "You were not so decisive in the past. What do you want to say to me?"

Jing Li: "..."

Qin Zhao's understanding of him has reached a terrifying level.

Jing Li said seriously: "No, I just want the little fish cub to learn to be independent. You can't always pamper him. That's what you said."

Qin Zhao was thoughtful.

Jing Li felt guilty when he saw him, so he changed the subject: "It's already very late, aren't you still going to bed?"

"I want to study this document again." Qin Zhao said, "Rest first, I may have to be later."

Jing Li said "Oh".

Qin Zhao heard the disappointment in his voice and asked: "You really have nothing to say to me?"

"No!" Jing Li said decisively, "I'm sleepy, let's take a shower first!"

The bathhouse was filled with steam, half of Jingli's face was immersed in the water, and he sighed heavily.

What to do, he didn't know how to talk to Qin Zhao at all.

Normally, Jing Li would not need to be so worried, but this time is a bit special. Qin Zhao just presented the memorial to the emperor last month on the reform of the official system. This kind of reform is a major event, and it will not last until next year.

It is difficult to complete in half a year. Qin Zhao has been busy reading various documents and historical materials recently, which is a busy time.

They haven't had any skin-to-skin contact for several days.

But this time, Jingli wanted to take advantage of him.

Otherwise...how could we have cubs?

I'm so worried about the fish.

Jing Li slid into the water with his knees in his arms and leaned against the bottom of the bathtub, shrinking into a small ball in sadness.

When Qin Zhao walked in, this was what he saw.

Qin Zhao: "..."

Jing Li came in and quickly raised his head: "Why are you here?"

"I've been in there for half an hour. I came in to see if I was drowning." Qin Zhao squatted by the bath and brushed his wet hair behind his ears, "What are you doing in there?

"

"No, I wasn't in a daze." Jing Li looked away, "I fell asleep accidentally!"

Because the young man was a fish, Qin Zhao liked to be intimate with him in the bath. Therefore, Qin Zhao specially had the bath remodeled. The bath was filled with running water and there was a stove below. As long as the stove was on fire, the bath could be guaranteed

The water temperature is constant.

Jing Li has fallen asleep in the water more than once.

But...it doesn't look like I'm asleep today.

Qin Zhao wiped away the water stains on Jing Li's eyelashes without exposing the young husband's lie.

He straightened up and slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

Now that it is summer, Qin Zhao is only wearing a single shirt, with the collar slightly open, revealing his fair and firm chest. After returning to the capital, Qin Zhao did not forget the habit of morning jogging, and even picked up the habit of running in the morning that he had not practiced for many years.

His martial arts skills. Years of exercise have begun to bear fruit, and the diseased young man is finally no longer as weak as before.

A thin layer of muscles was attached to the skin, and the lines were smooth but not exaggerated. Jing Li couldn't help but swallow when he saw it.

Jing Li's cheeks were flushed by the warm water vapor, and he didn't dare to continue reading. He said hurriedly: "I'm done washing, first... go back to the house."

Just as he was about to get up, someone grabbed him.

"Do you want to go back here?" Qin Zhao's gaze shifted downwards.

Jing Li realized later what he was referring to: "..."

Help.

Why can it become like this just by looking at it?

There is no future yet!!!

Jing Li broke away from Qin Zhao's hand and silently hugged his knees and returned to the bottom of the water. He wished he could dig a hole and bury himself. After a while, the water flow moved slightly and the man entered the water.

"There's really nothing I can do about you." Qin Zhao picked the man up from the bottom of the water, lowered his head and kissed him wetly, "Why don't you just tell me what you want? Are you using your husband as a decoration?"

He's not, he doesn't, he really doesn't know why it's like this.

The sound of water in the bath continued, and Jing Li hugged Qin Zhao's neck in despair.
To be continued...
