Chapter 17 - Mommy, Don’t Give Me Up (2)
Thinking that they’d be moving into the pretty new apartment tomorrow, XingXing was so excited that night that he couldn’t fall asleep. Lying in bed, he was still talking nonstop even with his eyes closed. The more he talked, the more excited he got. He wished he could jump back up.
Cheng Huan was about to get a headache from him. She felt that the soft and doughy little angel from before was heading down the path of becoming a little devil. She pulled out one of the storybooks that she bought today and interrupted XingXing’s fantasy.
“Alright. You need to go to sleep. Why doesn’t XingXing stop talking and let mommy read him a story?”
Hearing her saying that, the little kiddo finally quieted down.
The protagonist of the story was an egg and it talked about how the egg defeated all the villains on its way to finally becoming a human. It was quite a righteous ardour story.

Cheng Huan didn’t read very fast, and she had a nice voice, elegant and warm. It worked wonders at capturing others’ attention.
The story on the paper turned into language and came out of her mouth. XingXing was so mesmerized by the story that he had forgotten about the move.
DuoDuo in the story was so mighty. Could he really turn from an egg to a human? If it could turn into a human, did that mean XingXing also came from an egg?
XingXing had many questions that he wanted to ask, but mommy had told him to not talk. He was a good kid, and he would listen to his mother.
The little kiddo had so many questions, but sleepiness started to mount as the story went on. He closed his eyes, scooted over next to Cheng Huan, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

XingXing peed the bed.
Cheng Huan noticed that something was wrong when she woke up. She felt that a patch of her clothes was wet.
First, she thought it was that time of the month, but she realized that wasn’t it when she sat up. Then, she noticed that the blanket wrapped around the little kiddo has a darker colored patch.
It was understandable that this would happen when a kid went to bed later than usual and was unable to wake up to go use the bathroom.
As Cheng Huan was thinking about that, she smiled and pinched the little kiddo on his cheek. She changed out of her clothes and showered before she came back to wake her son up.
XingXing felt so ashamed of himself.
He was woken up by his mother and carried to the bathroom to get washed. After he was dressed, he stood to one side and watched his mother wash the blanket and iron the straw mat.
He said not a word the entire time. With his head lowered, he wanted to do nothing other than finding a hole to bury himself in.
He was already 4, and he peed his bed! Mommy would for sure hate him.
XingXing felt like he wanted to cry. Tears rolled around in his eyes, but they didn’t fall.
No! He can’t cry! Mommy doesn’t like little kids who cry! He lifted his head and peeked at the woman who was keeping herself busy. He stealthily made the tears fall with his finger and wiped them away with the back of his hand and pretended that it never happened.
Cheng Huan carried the straw mat to the patio to be dried in the sun and did the same with the blanket. After she was done with all those, she rubbed her back. As soon as she turned around, she saw her little tail right behind her.
The little kiddo had been quite all morning long; it was probably because his self-esteem was bruised.
Cheng Huan wouldn’t ignore a little kid’s self-esteem. She walked over to XingXing and squatted down in front of him. She didn’t mention anything about him peeing the bed. With her attitude just like usual, she said, “Are you hungry yet, darling? Mom only made porridge this morning. Let’s go and have some.”
“Mom….” Seeing that his mother was talking to him, XingXing could no longer hold his fears and worries in. He wrapped his arms around her neck, buried his head into her shoulder, and started crying.
His reaction really startled Cheng Huan. This was the first time she had seen him crying since she had transmigrated. She put her hand on his back and patted him gently, trying to help him breathe. “What’s the matter, darling? Do you not want porridge?”
“Woo, woo, woo…. No…..” XingXing shook his head as he continued to cry. His arms tightened around her. He said through his hiccups, “Gulp, mommy. Don’t, gulp, give me up.”
