Many of the surrounding parents, hearing the commotion, looked over and whispered amongst themselves.
"A fragrance, could it be perfume?"
"You smell of her perfume~"
"Is that how a father should be?"
However, their whispers were not loud, like the buzzing of mosquitoes to ordinary people, but to Lin Xiao's ears...
They were deafening.
"Dad went to examine some older sisters today. I was in a hurry to get here and didn't have time to change," Lin Xiao quickly explained to his daughter.
"Older sisters?"
Xun'er blinked her eyes. Still a child, she didn't understand why Lin Xiao seemed a little flustered when he spoke. She just nodded, "Daddy, let's go home! I'm hungry!"
As she spoke, she rubbed her belly, looking wronged.
After saying goodbye, Luo Bing started on his way home.
He was already a big boy and could walk home.
"Alright! Let's go!" Lin Xiao scooped her up and put her in the car.
"By the way... Daddy."
Xun'er, already in the car, suddenly said, "When you were examining the older sisters, was it the same as when you examine Mommy at night?"
"Hmm? What?"
Lin Xiao was stunned. He had a bad feeling.
"It's just that one night I woke up to use the restroom and was scared because you and Mommy were gone. I called out for a long time... then I heard Mommy seemed to be in a lot of pain and was making distressed sounds. When I went closer, I saw you hitting Mommy's bottom... Did Mommy do something wrong? Or were you giving her an examination?"
Xun'er didn't understand anything. She just tilted her head and asked her question.
"..."
Lin Xiao almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.
He forced a smile and said, "No, no. Mommy's bottom was uncomfortable, so I was helping her with a massage. When I examine those aunts and older sisters during the day, it's a check-up. Your daddy is a doctor, understand?"
"I understand! So Mommy's bottom was uncomfortable."
Xun'er, half-understanding, said, "Then..."
She touched her own bottom. "When my bottom is uncomfortable, Daddy, please don't hit it. I'm scared... hitting my bottom hurts too much."
"...Don't worry, I won't hit Xun'er's bottom."
Lin Xiao felt he was digging himself into a hole. But he couldn't possibly start educating his child about such things now. It was too early! He could only try to smooth things over for now.
Back home, Lin Xiao rushed into the kitchen to start cooking, feeling a little like a thief.
Could it be because Xun'er had discovered his normal marital activities with Luo Qinghan?
As he took off his coat, he pondered, or was it because he went to the Hehuan Sect and didn't want his wife to find out?
"Daddy!"
Suddenly, Xun'er poked her head in from the kitchen doorway.
"Yes!"
Lin Xiao quickly responded, feeling a bit jumpy.
"Tonight, I want to eat chicken legs, can I?"
"Okay, I'll make you extra chicken legs."
Hearing Xun'er's request, Lin Xiao immediately replied. He had never felt so flustered before. Even when facing dozens of androids, countless foreign agents, or when he was in mortal danger, he had never been this flustered.
His heart rate must have exceeded 100.
"Daddy, are you very hot? You're sweating on your head."
