Once, when they disagreed, she would argue her case resolutely, never allowing him the upper hand; now, she didn't even have the desire to argue.
"Baba, Baba..." Xiaobao, ignored on the sofa, called out.
He felt the room was too quiet; he didn't like the quietness. When it was quiet, he felt anxious.
Xiaobao crawled about on the sofa, calling out "Baba" as he moved; those were the only words he could say.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiaobao caused a commotion, Xu Chaomu hurried over and lifted him off the sofa.
"Baby, are you hungry? Shall Mommy take you to eat something? We're going home." Xu Chaomu held him and coaxed softly.
Xu Chaomu, talking to Xiaobao like this, didn't seem at all like the Xu Chaomu from moments ago.
Xiaobao lay in Xu Chaomu's arms, clutching at her clothes, and became quiet, well-behaved.
As she approached Shen Chi, Xu Chaomu stopped, quietly saying, "You should take your medicine and take good care of yourself, I'm going back to Jin City."
