Chapter 1558: Chapter 901: Master Huo Fallen to Good Guy? Little Slickhead 2.0
Little Accident heard Huo Qinqi say he won’t be leaving anymore, feeling strange in his heart, yet still very happy. Huo Qinqi was waiting for his son’s response, the little guy just looked down, pinched a little yellow duck, and said softly:
"Oh——"
Terribly awkward.
"Lean your head over, I’ll wash your hair."
Little Accident obediently leaned his head over.
Huo Qinqi had no idea that when washing a child’s hair, there’s a special hat for protecting ears against backflow. So, he just used his rough large hands to rub, and even though he tried to be gentle, some shampoo still stung eyes.
Shen Shuci happened to pass by the bathroom door and heard his son’s shouting from inside.
"My eyes, I can’t see——"
"Ah, it hurts."
"Don’t do this to me, water got in my ears."
Shen Shuci frowned, a simple bath turned into a battlefield, "Qinqi? Need my help?"
"No need!" Huo Qinqi decisively refused, surely he can handle a little brat, right?
He just didn’t expect that serving a child a bath could be so tough, almost harder than leading troops into battle. After finally fishing him out of the water, drying him off, and tossing him onto the bed, he still needed to help him dress.
"I can do it myself." Little Accident, though slow at dressing, could manage it on his own.
"Let me help you." Seeing him move slowly, Huo Qinqi offered to help, trying to make up for the years of missed companionship with his son.
"I can really do it myself." Little Accident still wasn’t very used to being close to him.
Huo Qinqi, not a man of many words, directly used his hands.
The father and son had a "tense confrontation," and Little Accident finally lay flat on the bed, muttering, "You put my pants on backwards."
Huo Qinqi: "Aren’t these two patterns supposed to be in front?"
"They’re supposed to be on the back!"
"..."
Shen Shuci was at the door, almost laughing to tears.
"Do you want to hear a story before bed?" Huo Qinqi truly didn’t know how to interact with his son.
"Okay." Little Accident didn’t really understand how to interact with him either, after all, they weren’t really familiar with each other, and yet he wanted him to accompany him more.
Huo Qinqi flipped through the storybooks on his shelf, "Snow White," "Mermaid," "Cinderella"... which one do you want to hear?"
Little Accident’s corners of his mouth twitched, "Those are all my sister’s favorites!"
Why did his dad think he’d like these kinds of stories!
Huo Qinqi coughed lightly, "Your... your sister’s books, why are they with you?"
"What’s so strange about that, sometimes when mom, grandpa, and grandma are busy, I tell her stories." Little Accident snorted.
"Do you know a lot of characters?" Huo Qinqi tilted his head to look at him.
Little Accident pouted, "I... I can read Pinyin!"
"..."
While the father and son were awkwardly interacting, Shen Shuci pushed the door open and came in with a tablet in her hand, "Tinglan, a video from your sister."
Little Accident immediately got excited, hugged the tablet, and greeted the little girl on the other end of the video. Huo Qinqi was still standing in front of the bookshelf picking books, from his angle, he couldn’t see the screen, he could only hear the little girl on the other end calling out in a sweet, soft voice:
"Brother——"
Sweet and soft, indescribably cute.
The time Huo Qinqi had spent with his son wasn’t much, let alone with his little daughter. When she was learning to talk and walk, Huo Qinqi was executing a long-term mission, and when he came home, the little girl looked at him and stuttered:
"Unc... Uncle, hello."
The feeling inside Huo Qinqi at that time was indescribable.
But you couldn’t blame her. Even though Shen Shuci had shown her pictures, real life and photos are inevitably different, plus that year, he got very tanned.
All these years, besides family, Jiang Jinsang was the one he had more interaction with since their sons were inseparable, and they were relatives, so there was more care.
Jiang Jinsang once remarked:
"How did someone like you have such an adorable daughter?"
Both Huo Qinqi and Shen Shuci were people with a calm and cool temperament, yet their daughter didn’t inherit this at all, she was adorable, soft, and sweet. If not, Huo Zheng wouldn’t be so helplessly charmed by her, taking her to watch military exercises.
Can you imagine a whole family of wolf-natured people suddenly having a little rabbit fall into their midst?
Completely helpless.
Huo Qinqi watched his son video chatting with his daughter, not knowing how to approach or what to say. Little Accident turned his head to look at him, "Sister, dad’s back."
The little girl on the other end had just gotten a model plane and was showing it off to Little Accident. Hearing this, she paused for a moment.
Little Accident beckoned to Huo Qinqi, signaling him to come over. When he saw his daughter in front of the camera, the little girl was lowering her head, fiddling with the model plane, seemingly too shy to look at him directly.
