Anqing held onto Ruanruan, truly reluctant to let go, still holding her even after they got out of the car and into the house.
As soon as they got home, Ruanruan asked him if he was hungry.
"No, daddy ate with everyone before coming back."
With no hunger to speak of, Ruanruan fetched some medicine and prepared warm water in a wash basin.
"Daddy, let's wash your face; after you wash your face, Ruanruan will apply the medicine for you."
Speaking in her baby voice, with her little bottom poked out, she wrung out the towel and raised it to wipe Anqing's face.
"Okay."
Anqing obediently let the little one help him wash his face, and she was extra careful when she got near his wounds.
"Here, the medicine."
Jiu Yun handed over the bottle, and Ruanruan called for help comfortably.
"Master, come quick, help daddy with the medicine."
Anqing, "...how about I do it myself?"
