Lin Lei did not end up wearing the little yellow duck pajamas. They were indeed quite adorable, in a tender yellow color. However, he had become rather thin and his complexion wasn't looking so good. So when he put them on, no matter how you looked at it, he seemed more like a weakling - no, a wimpy duck.

The one who first noticed this issue was Ou Qihang.

Adults, you see, find children adorable no matter how they dress. However, Ou Qihang thought that it made Xiao Le appear particularly unhealthy, and he didn't really like it.

Children's thoughts are usually more straightforward, so Lin Le still chose to wear the cow outfit.

He tugged at his collar, which had a pattern resembling a pair of bull horns. However, they were not three-dimensional but rather a flat design, just shaped like bull horns. It looked quite unique from the back.

Lin Le let out a big sigh of relief in his heart. Luckily, it's not three-dimensional, or else how would he be able to sleep at night? He wouldn't be able to lie flat and would have to sleep on his side, which would be so tiring. Moreover, if it wasn't three-dimensional, people wouldn't constantly be fixing his collar for him. It would be really silly to have that happen all the time.

"I told you, wearing this costume would definitely make Lele look adorable. She'll definitely have sweet dreams tonight."

"Mom, the teacher said that having dreams is a sign of not sleeping well."

Ye Yin glanced at her son. "Do you really want to make your mother unable to show her face?"

"Don't pull at my collar, I know you like to do that," Ou Qihang held onto Xiaole's small hand.

I didn't like it much either. Lin Le felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but he could only let him hold his hand. With his parents around, if he didn't allow it, it would mean that he was not giving face to the little prince.

"Mom, there's a little cow coat. Can Baby wear it tomorrow?" Ou Qihang introduced to Xiaole, "After washing and drying, it'll be dry tomorrow. It has a hat, a cow hat with horns."

Lin Le was in despair. He no longer harbored any illusions about wearing the clothes from his childhood. Why could Ou Qihang wear button-up shirts and slacks while he had to dress like a duck or cow?

"Is there no frog?" Lin Le asked.

"Do you like frogs, baby?"

"No, I don't like it at all." Who would want to wear a frog hat and be labeled a cuckold?

"Xiao Le's serious expression is so cute!" Ye Yin picked up Xiao Le and placed him on the bed, then rubbed her waist. "I really can't handle it anymore, my back hurts from carrying him for a while."

"Auntie, Uncle, please rest early."

"What's your name?"

"...Mom, Dad." When he called out earlier, it was more of a mischievous act, but now when he calls, there is a hint of reverence in Lin Le's heart, to the extent that his voice sounds a bit playful.

"Good child," Ye Yin kissed his forehead and said, "Dad and I are right next door. If you're scared at night, come find us." Then, she turned to Ou Qihang and said, "There's warm water in the thermos on the table. If Lele wants to drink at night, it'll be up to you, thank you." After that, she also kissed Ou Qihang on the top of his head.

"Good night, Mom and Dad. I will take good care of the baby."

Lin Le took a look here and there, not really having anything to do inside or outside.

Ou Ze also hugged Xiao Le and gave him a kiss. Although a little worried, he still decided to let Xiao Le and his own son spend some time alone together.

Xiao Le had been staying in the welfare institution for over half a year. The couple, realizing that Xiao Le's inner world was actually sensitive and fragile, witnessed from his behavior on this day that he displayed none of the typical traits of a child. He was quiet, composed, calm, and could even hide his emotions.

Ye Yin finished washing up and leaned against the head of the bed. Unable to restrain herself, she began complaining to Ou Ze about Jiang Yue. Afterward, she sighed again and thought of her deceased friend, causing her tears to flow uncontrollably.

"Don't be sad, it's late at night," Ou Ze consoled her, "People come and go, Jiang Yue is gone, let's not think about it anymore. Look at Lele, now he is with us, isn't it great? Qihang also likes him, let's think positively. After hardship comes happiness."

"Mmm," Ye Yin couldn't help but worry again, "He's always like this..."

He can't hurry it. He's still very guarded now. I asked a psychologist, and they said that this kind of problem can only be gradually improved. Just let it happen naturally and don't be too anxious.

After thinking it over, the two of them could only settle for this option.

In Ou Qihang's room, Lin Le lies on the bed, held by Ou Qihang. As Lin Le lies flat and looks at the ceiling, the lights have been turned off. The ceiling is covered in countless stars, resembling a galaxy in the universe. It was the starry sky lamp that Qihang had turned on for him.

"Baby, look, that's the Scorpio constellation, it's my zodiac sign, did you see it?"

How lonely are you usually, young man! It's late at night and you're not even sleeping, yet you're showing me this!

"Baby, what's your birthdate? I want to see what your zodiac sign is."

"I'm tired..." Can we discuss something like not knowing what day my birthday falls on?"

Having lived for so long, he unexpectedly still hadn't figured out when Xiaole's birthday was! This won't do. No worries, he suddenly thought of the forms that Ouzi and the others had filled out when they adopted him. His birthday must be written on them. He would wait until tomorrow... or some other day, and sneak a peek.

"Baby, what day is your birthday?"

I had no choice but to pretend to be asleep, "~zZ……~zZ……"

-------I am the small theater------

Sailing Off: Baby, are you asleep?

Xiao Le: (～﹃～)~zZ

Set sail: Since they're asleep, I can do a little naughty thing.

Xiao Le: I suddenly woke up.

Setting sail: It would be even better if you wake up, because I prefer it when you shout loudly, "Don't stop, don't stop!"

Xiao Le: Why are you so annoying!
