Chapter 72: Chapter 72: He’s also a child who has a father now!

That night, Nanzhi was tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. She always felt as if she had overlooked something.

"Mom, can’t you sleep?" The little fellow turned towards Nanzhi and asked again.

"Hmm." Nanzhi nodded, thinking he was awoken due to the heat, so she fanned him again with her hand fan.

"Is he really my dad?" Shen Zhiyu looked at Nanzhi and asked in his soft voice.

"Yes."

After hesitating for a moment, the little guy asked another question, "Then why did my dad come back only now?"

Nanzhi’s fan stopped abruptly. She said softly, "Dad was sick and forgot about Zhiyu and mom in the past. Now he has remembered us, that’s why he came back to look for us."

"Will dad forget us again?" Shen Zhiyu asked hesitantly, intertwining his own fingers.

Previously, Brother Doudou and the others all had dads, except for him. Now he has a dad too. It would be nice if his dad could always be at home.

He also wanted to be a kid with a dad.

"Won’t you," Nanzhi asked hesitantly, remembering the words Shen Wenchen said to her in the afternoon. "Zhiyu, do you want to go with dad?"

While she was merely a body substitute, she wouldn’t be able to convince Shen Wenchen of her real identity if they stayed together for long. But going with him would be the best option for Zhiyu.

"Wherever mom is, Zhiyu will be there."

Listening to the boy’s murmur, Nanzhi felt warmth in her heart. She gazed into the darkness, abstractedly fanning the air.

Shen Wenchen, where had she heard that name before?

Why did it sound so familiar?

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, she jerked awake.

She had remembered!

Shen Wenchen, Lin Nanzhi, Gougou, Shen Miaomiao...

These were all characters from a novel she had read in the past!

There was absolutely no chance of Nanzhi sleeping now.

Originally, she thought she had journeyed to this place to look after a child due to her sudden death from staying up late. But now, it seems that she may have been thrust into an old novel!

An eighteen-year-old maiden, she had transmigrated to become a mother in a blink of an eye, and moreover, an innocent cannon fodder!

Thinking of her current identity, Nanzhi was somewhat puzzled again.

She remembered that in the novel, Shen Wenchen became sick while hunting on the mountainside. He was saved, but due to memory loss, he followed and joined the army. Subsequently, he made remarkable achievements on the battlefield, was promoted to General, met the main female character, a "Goddess", who also transmigrated from the future and fell in love at first sight. He was always behind her for a year until she fell in love with the weak main male character, then he turned into a villain...

And regarding her past identity as his wife, she only received a divorce letter. Gougou was still too young to remember, and was raised by Shen Miaomiao. The two roamed the streets of Kyoto until Gougou was thirteen years old when they met Shen Wenchen again...

If she remembered correctly, Shen Wenchen shouldn’t have remembered everything by now. Could it be that because she transmigrated here, the plot of the story was altered?

Did that cause him to remember everything sooner, which then led him to bring people back to fetch her and Zhiyu?

If she had any involvement with Shen Wenchen, would she die because of the plot of the original story?

After all, in the original story, her character as cannon fodder had departed early.

Thinking about the main female character of this novel, they both transmigrated, yet the other one not only had system and space abilities but was also worshipped as a "Goddess". Nanzhi felt a little jealous.

Why was there a difference in treatment even though they have both transmigrated?

The more she thought about it, the more Nanzhi became unable to sleep. Eventually, she was diagnosed with chronic insomnia.

The next morning, when Shen Wenchen woke up and washed up, he saw Nanzhi with dark circles under her eyes. He hesitated for a while before showing concern, "Didn’t sleep well last night?"

Nanzhi stiffened, then gave a wooden nod, "The night was too hot, how did you sleep last night?"

Hearing the concern in Nanzhi’s voice, Shen Wenchen was pleased and said with a smile, "I slept very well."

It was the best sleep he had in over twenty years.

"Is that so?" Surprisingly, Nanzhi had not expected him to be able to sleep. After all, there were only two rooms available in their house now. She certainly wouldn’t agree to let Shen Wenchen sleep next to her, so he and the five others had to sleep in the in-laws’ room.

When she thought of the six people cramped in the not-so-large room, she felt hot already.

After the two of them finished their morning routines, Nanzhi wanted to find something to do. But, Shen Wenchen followed her around like a shadow.

"What are you doing?" Nanzhi was puzzled. Why was he looming around her early in the morning?

Did she accidentally get something dirty on herself?

"I haven’t seen you for too long, I want to look at you more." Shen Wenchen didn’t fuss, he just said with a smile.

Looking at the man with a smiling face like a blooming flower, Nanzhi was at a loss for words, so she turned and moved towards the kitchen.

Seeing that Shen Wenchen was about to follow her, she hurriedly added, "Go see if Zhiyu is awake, if he is, help him wash up."

Hearing this, Shen Wenchen halted, then nodded, "Alright, just call me if you need anything."

Watching him walk into the room, Nanzhi finally sighed in relief and moved into the kitchen to get busy.

Normally, she and Zhiyu would just casually cook a porridge or gruel to eat for breakfast but now, with so many people in the house, she was unsure of what to do.

When Shen Wenchen entered the room, he saw Shen Zhiyu sleeping soundly on the bed, naked.

Looking at the sleeping boy, Shen Wenchen felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Noticing a faint sweat on the kid’s forehead, he picked up the cattail fan and fanned him. Feeling the coolness, Shen Zhiyu squirmed a bit, turned over and went back to sleep.

Seeing how his son was, Shen Wenchen took a look around the room. Many things from the past weren’t there anymore, only a dressing table that he had built for Nanzhi before getting married remained.

Thinking about what Shen Miaomiao had once said, Shen Wenchen’s face turned dark.

This house was held together by her, a frail woman, for these three years, wasn’t it?

He truly owed his parents, Nannan and Zhiyu.

This time, he would definitely be a good husband and a good dad.

"Mom, I’m hungry." The little guy rubbed his eyes and mumbled.

It was only after he saw clearly who was fanning him that he sat on the bed, dumbfounded.

"Zhiyu, get up quickly. Dad will take you to wash up." Seeing the little guy’s stupefied look, Shen Wenchen unconsciously softened his voice.

"Da... dad?"

Hearing Shen Zhiyu call out softly, Shen Wenchen was overjoyed and immediately scooped up his child.

"Zhiyu is so good, call dad a few more times."

The little guy was held high up in the air. His little face was already turning red. Dad is really back!

He was also a kid with a dad now!
