“Uncle Du, is it like this?”

“That’s right.” I gave one more demonstration, “You did a good job, Wan Wan¹.”

Shen Wenshu smiled happily and looked at me again. “Uncle Du, how do you know that my dads call me Wan Wan? Did my dad tell you that?”

“No.” I tapped his nose. “Your dad didn’t tell me.”

“It’s Papa?! Papa told you right!” Shen Wenshu’s small face looked very excited. “What else do you know, Uncle Du?”

“Me?” I raised a brow at him. “I know everything.”

Shen Wenshu looked at me with wide eyes. He looked so cute.

“Your Papa said, because Wan Wan couldn’t stay in his stomach anymore and wanted to come out quickly, he would touch his stomach and say to you, ‘Little baby, stay a few more days. Come out later, why don’t you?’ And that’s why you’re called Wan Wan.” I put my arm on his shoulder, approached his small body and wiped his red eyes. “Papa loves you very much, so Wan Wan must be strong no matter what.”

He sniffed his nose, tidied up his feelings, and began to play the piano again.

The child’s piano was melodious and happy, but now it hid some sadness.

In order to teach Shen Wenshu how to play the piano, I left work early. Shen Junshan was still working very hard in the company. I did not know whether there were too many things in the company or he just did not want to come back at all.

The eldest son was in primary (elementary) school.

The second son was in kindergarten.

The baby Omega I once saw in the hospital was taken care of by President Shen himself.

I remember the last meeting, when Shen Junshan was holding the baby and was urinated on while still having a solemn face. At that time I really wanted to laugh, my tears also nearly came out.

The door lock turned twice. I heard the sounds and went to the door and caught the little bomb Shen Wenxin who flew to me.

“Papa… Dad… Daddy.” He liked this game very much, that is, he would never call people right. I picked him up and shook him twice.

“Call Uncle.” Shen Junshan spoke again. I cannot even remember how many times Shen Wenxin had been corrected. However, he was very insistent, and so I went along with him.

Shen Junshan still had a small one in his arms. When he entered he kept looking after the small one and threw the two big ones to me.

I took Wenxin to wash his hands and kept thinking about Nian Nian. Shen Junshan, who looked cultured, was actually simple and crude – Shen Wennian, simple and concise.

As for who I missed, I looked at the family portrait of the four people on the wall and laughed bitterly.

“How was Nian Nian today?” I settled the two and asked at the door.

Shen Junshan did not stop changing while the little doll’s clothes. He heard my question and spat two words, “Quite good.”

I asked myself for boredom, and just as I was ready to go, I heard Shen Junshan say, “Sit down.”

“Ah?… Oh, okay.”

Shen Junshan hooked his coat and put on an apron. I saw that Nian Nian had slept soundly, so I went to attend to the homework of two young masters by myself.

Shen Wenshu was always acting like little adult in front of his brother. I saw he write with his brother’s hand in a solemn way. Shen Wenxin drew one stroke by stroke, and the boy worked so hard sweat started to come out.
