The previously intimate and ambiguous atmosphere vanished instantly.

Feng Yan lifted his hand to touch her forehead, relieved that it wasn’t too warm. “You might have caught a chill today. Don’t wash your injured wrist for now, take some medicine, and rest early.”

Watching the man tidy up the basin and head into the bathroom, Sheng Xia, a bit slow to react, suddenly realized—

Wait, did she just miss an opportunity for a kiss?

Darn it, the rare occasion when the ninja turtle took the initiative, and she missed it just like that!

She was about to complain to the system when she felt her nose itching and couldn’t resist sneezing again.

System: “…”

For a few seconds, even the system couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for the ninja turtle—no, the family’s jackass—wait, that’s not right.

Wait a minute, where did Feng Yan get so many titles?

As Feng Yan was inside tidying up, the room door suddenly knocked.

Sheng Xia glanced towards the bathroom and walked over to open the door. She saw Feng Jingxu standing at the door, with Yin Qinya and Yi Yangyang peeking sneakily from behind him.

Surprised that the three of them were together, she raised an eyebrow playfully and teasingly said, “What’s up, Little Xu? Can’t sleep yet? Having nightmares and need mommy to comfort you?”

Feng Jingxu subconsciously rolled his eyes and was about to retort. But he remembered something and forcibly held back, saying, “It’s not me looking for you; it’s them.”

Yin Qinya and Yi Yangyang, feeling betrayed, glanced up at him with their small heads and then straightened their backs, bravely meeting Sheng Xia’s smiling black eyes.

“Aunt Xiaxia, this is what we made together just now. We don’t know if you’ll like it.” Handing what they had to Sheng Xia, the usually assertive Yin Qinya looked a bit nervous. Her face turned red, and she said, “Thank you, Aunt Xiaxia. We hope your hand gets better soon.”

Sheng Xia lowered her head and saw the seashell bracelet Yin Qinya held in her palm.

It was made up of various shiny shells, colorful and beautiful. At the very center, there was the orange shell that caused a dispute in the afternoon, shimmering with a gentle light as it swayed.

Indeed, it was very beautiful, and it’s no wonder they all wanted it earlier.

“Uh, um, this is a gift we made for the hero.” Yin Qinya, feeling a bit embarrassed, touched the back of her head. Her eyes sparkled as she spoke sincerely, “Thank you, Aunt Xiaxia. You are our hero!”

“Wow, it’s really beautiful! Thank you, Ya Ya and Yang Yang. I really like it.” Under the nervous gaze of the two children, Sheng Xia happily extended her uninjured hand, inviting them to help her put it on.

As they carefully helped her put on the bracelet, Yin Qinya and Yi Yangyang couldn’t help but smile brightly.

After carefully putting on the bracelet in a bustling and somewhat chaotic manner, Sheng Xia raised her hand in the air and admired, “Truly, it’s me. I can handle such a beautiful bracelet and make my hand look even prettier.”

Two children: ? Is she praising us?

After appreciating the bracelet, Sheng Xia turned her curious gaze to Sheng Jingxu, who had been silent all along. “So, Little Xu, do you have something to tell me?”

Feng Jingxu: …

With his hands in his pockets, looking awkward and struggling to speak, he successfully piqued Sheng Xia’s curiosity. She blinked, staring at him without blinking.

However, such a direct gaze made the young man more uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but turn his head slightly, his face blushing as he gritted his teeth and said, “Can you stop looking at me like that?”

Curious about what was bothering him, Sheng Xia blinked and obediently withdrew her gaze.

Then she saw his eyes wandering around, avoiding looking at her directly. Lifting his chin slightly, he seemed rebellious as he said, “I just remembered, forgot something.”

“Let’s be clear, I don’t want to do this. Don’t misunderstand,” Feng Jingxu, with sweaty palms hidden in his pockets, his throat a bit dry, said, “But as a man, I have to keep promises. I can’t go back on my word, you know?”

Sheng Xia nodded sincerely, “I don’t really know.”

Feng Jingxu: …

His expression twisted for a while, changing back and forth. It was clear to see the blush spreading from the young man’s cheeks to the roots of his ears and down to his neck.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally closed his eyes and, with a heroic sacrifice, squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

“—Mom.”

After the young man hurriedly shouted, fearing any misunderstanding, he immediately jumped back, intentionally raising his voice even higher, “I kept my promise, but don’t think I’ll keep calling you that in the future! It’s a one-time thing!!”

Without waiting for her response, he turned around and swiftly disappeared.

Leaving Sheng Xia slowly blinking, she lowered her head and looked at the two children who seemed clearly startled and confused as they exchanged glances.

“Ah…”

When Feng Yan heard the commotion and approached, Sheng Xia belatedly showed a regretful expression, “I didn’t even record it.”

This was the top-notch protagonist, calling her “mom” for the first time. The feeling—

Wow, it was really! So cool!!
