Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 86 - The Little Bun's Mission

"Of course I am always right. I don't do things unnecessarily and not until someone provokes me," he smiled, "You made Siying sick first, not me."

Xinyi pressed the space in between her brows.

"By the way, I heard you returned to take some revenge on Zhiyuan. I wonder why?" he tilted his head.

Xiaosi said nothing.

"Oh that reminds me. You made Xinyi sick on the cruise, didn't you? I didn't give you the payback for that. Maybe…" he touched his chin and smiled sinisterly, "I should do something to make Caihong sick-"

"Don't fucking even think about that!" He roared in anger. "Stay away from my wife and daughter or I will make you pay!"

Xinyi tried to calm down the situation but nobody let her.

"Well, you started it by 'not staying away' from the Han family, right?" He laughed.

Zhiyuan looked between Xiaosi and Han Huizhong. He narrowed his eyes.

Xiaosi looked different in his office when Zhiyuan confronted him about Caihong, but now he looked different once again...

There was a sense of danger between him and Han Huizhong and somehow, Xiaosi seemed riled up like that for the first time since they met.

He frowned.

Xiaosi said nothing more and stormed away from the room, banging the door shut.

---

Xinyi and Zhiyuan felt too tired tonight. So many things happened all at once and they felt drained of their energy.

They quietly stepped in the room, but to their surprise, Siying was already awake.

"Mama! Dada!"

Zhiyuan sat beside him and picked him up. "You are awake?"

"En. I was waiting for Mama and Dada!"

Xinyi chuckled. "I see."

Then Siying seemed a little distraught. He tugged his father's shirt. "Dada...did you scold Aunty Caihong? Don't scold her please!"

Silence.

Xinyi and Zhiyuan shared a glance. Zhiyuan smiled. "No, son. We didn't scold her. But indeed she missed giving you the medicine, so she was at fault. We only explained things to her."

Of course, things became serious, but Siying was small to understand it.

"T-then the classes…"

His small face was scrunched up in worry.

They felt bad for him but considering the situation, it was pretty much impossible now.

Xinyi didn't hide. "Sorry Siying...we might have to think about it…"

His shoulders slumped. "But...but!"

Zhiyuan quickly said, "Don't worry. We will think about something. For now, you need lots of rest, so sleep."

"En…"

Xinyi picked him up from Zhiyuan and placed him in the middle of the bed. Siying looked between his Mama and Dada and then remembered something.

Oh yes! I forgot! I have to exshicute (execute) Leina and my plan!

He wrapped the duvet aside. "Mama, Dada. I don't want to sleep in the middle anymore!"

Xinyi and Zhiyuan rapidly blinked their eyes.

"Ah?"

He nodded hard. "En. I am a big boy now! I will not sleep between Mama and Dada. I will sleep by myself with Aunt Zizi!"

They widened their eyes in shock.

"Where did this come from?" They asked curiously.

He pursed his lips. He prayed that they didn't catch his lie.

"My friend in school says that he sleeps alone now, not with his Mama and Dada and so he is a big boy. I am also a big boy so I will sleep alone too! Mama and Dada should sleep together!"

It was a day ago that Leina had called Siying after hearing the conversation between Liang and Ah Cy in the car.

"Siying! I heard Mama and Dada talking that your Mama and Dada are not like my Mama and Dada!"

Siying's small eyebrows scrunched up together. "Leina, I don't understand."

"Oof silly. I mean Mama and Dada were talking in the car last night. They thought I was sleeping but I was awake! I heard them say how Uncle and Aunt are not lovey-dovey like Mama and Dada!"

His head tilted in confusion. "Lovey-dovey?"

"En. Like my Dada loves Mama and Mama loves Dada. But your Dada don't love your Mama and your Mama don't love your Dada!"

Siying's big black orbs widened. "No. Mama and Dada always smile and laugh together. They talk nicely too. How are my Mama and Dada not lovey-dovey?"

At that point, even Leina was slumped with his question. They were too young to understand what love meant in a marriage and relationship. She only understood that somehow Siying's parent's relationship was different from her parents. And Liang and Ah Cy wished so that they would become like them too.

That is what Leina could understand.

Since she didn't understand it herself, she had difficulty in explaining to Siying too.

"Oof! You are asking too many questions! My Mama and Dada will not lie. Uncle and Aunt talk nicely, but they are not lovey-dovey like Mama and Dada. And you know! I saw it in one TV episode. The Mama and Dada there are not lovey-dovey and they fight a lot so one day, they left each other!"

Siying's eyes teared up and he started crying. The image of his warm and perfect family was shattering.

"They have a son. After they left each other, Mama took the son with her and lived with only him."

He sniffled. "Waaaaa...So my Mama and Dada will leave too? My Mama will take me away from Dada? I-I don't want that…"

His small body trembled. Tears stained his chubby cheeks.

Leina bit her lip. "It can happen! They talk nicely now but they will soon start fighting like that Mama and Dada in the TV!"

Siying got frightened. He burst into tears even more by the thought of separating from Xinyi or Zhiyuan.

"I don't want Mama and Dada to leave! I want us always together! Waaaaaa…"

Leina said, "Wait, stop crying! I told you this because we can help Uncle and Aunt get lovey-dovey like my Mama and Dada. Then they will never fight and leave."

His tearful gaze shone with hope. He sniffled and gasped as he said, "R-really?"

"En. We have to do something. Grandma showed me another episode. There they hold hands, cuddle and hug! So Uncle and Aunt should also cuddle and hug a lot!"

Siying bobbed his head in understanding.

"En! But how to do that?"

Leina paused to think too. Her eyes sparkled as she thought of something.

"You know? Sometimes Grandma and Grandpa ask me to sleep with them. I ask why and they say that Mama and Dada want time to hug and cuddle alone. They get closer that way! So we have to do the same with Uncle and Aunt!"

Siying beamed.

"My Mama and Dada won't fight with this?"

"En. They will be super close!" Leina felt proud. "You sleep with Uncle and Aunt."

He nodded. "En. I sleep between Mama and Dada. It feels really nice and warm!"

Leina shook her head at the other end. "But you cannot sleep with them now or they will not get time to hug and cuddle."

Siying's shoulders slumped in sadness.

"You don't want them to fight, right?"

"En! No fighting and leaving!"

"So you will have to sleep with in other room. Maybe with Aunt Zizi!"

Siying thought about it and nodded. "En! I will sleep with Aunt Zizi!"

"Yes. Grandma says that she is more lovey-dovey with Grandpa when they spend time together. So you cannot be with Uncle and Aunt all the time."

He was saddened. "I will miss them…"

Leina harrumphed and put her hand on her waist. "Do you want to miss them more when they leave?"

Siying got frightened again and he vigorously shook his head. "No, no!"

"Then do as I say."

At present, Xinyi and Zhiyuan had no idea of the plan cooking between Siying and Leina. They couldn't wrap their heads around as to why Siying suddenly wanted to sleep in Zizi's room.

Xinyi said, "But you always sleep with us, right?"

Siying's adorable face puffed up in extra dose of cuteness. "But I am a big boy now. I will not sleep with Mama and Dada."

Zhiyuan had an urge to laugh. He didn't know what suddenly got into him, but he looked damn cute. "Son, it's not a bad thing to sleep with us. You are only three."

"I am three! Not only three! I am a big boy! Sorry Mama, Dada," he raised his palm, "You will have to sleep without me from now on. I know you will miss me. But I will sleep with Aunt."

Siying took his favorite pillow and duvet and dashed away.

"Siying, wait! Don't go!" Xinyi's words fell onto the empty walls because Siying was already gone.

Zhiyuan chuckled. "Ah our boy has grown so big now."

"But how will he sleep without us?" She pursed her lips.

"Don't worry, Xinyi. It might be just for tonight or maximum tomorrow. He won't be able to sleep without us for that long," he laughed, "especially without you. Sooner or later, he will come trotting back to us."

Xinyi burst into a giggle.

Zhiyuan said, "Well since we don't have to put him to sleep anymore, might as well rest. Today was...really tiring."

Xinyi slowly nodded.

When she looked back at the bed, she realized that now that Siying wasn't between them anymore, they would be sleeping extra close together.

W-wait does that mean we would be...
