End of July. Jian Yan currently found herself in 'Infernal Rush mode' to turn in her manuscript. This time, however, He Xiu needed to go to D City for a business trip. There was no one at home to take care of young He Diu Diu during summer vacation.

Without a word, Jian Yan saddled He Diu Diu with He Xiu, forcing him to take their child along with him to D City.

He Xiu & He Diu Diu: "..."

"Actually, we can leave He Diu Diu with his grandmother or Aunt Jiang; they're definitely very willing to take care of him." He Xiu was a bit reluctant to take this little bundle with him on his business trip to D City, so he proposed another option.

Jian Yan stated, "That won't do. Diu Diu sticks to people firmly. If we make him stay at his grandmother's place, he will definitely show up in front of me every day."

......

Before they left, Jian Yan went downstairs to send them off. He Diu Diu had a small schoolbag on his back with all his summer homework.

"Mama, I don't want to go with papa to D City..." He Diu Diu used this last chance to pout at his mother, trying to rouse her maternal instincts.

Jian Yan stroked his soft hair and patiently coaxed him. "Diu Diu, be obedient. Mama is very busy these days and has no time to look after you. You'll have meat to eat if you go with your father."

"...Papa's also busy with work; he won't have time to look after me either."

"At least his working hours are relatively regular. I, on the other hand, might forget to eat."

He Xiu frowned after hearing this. "You shouldn't always stay up late rushing to finish your drafts. I'll call you every mealtime to remind you to eat."

"Oh, according to my previous experiences, I might not even be able to hear my ringtone."

He Xiu: "..."

He flashed her a smile. "I will punctually remind Lin Zhen to deliver you food."

Jian Yan sent them off at the doorway. He Diu Diu put on his shoes as he looked unhappily at Jian Yan. Jian Yan pinched his unhappy little face and said to him, "After mama turns in her manuscript, she'll go to D City to find you and papa, okay?"

"Pinky swear." He Diu Diu extended his pinky finger. Jian Yan beamed and hooked her finger with his.

"Okay, let's go." He Xiu opened the door before turning around to hug Jian Yan and kiss her cheeks. "I'll call you every night to remind you to go to sleep. I'll call you until you pick up."

He Diu Diu saw his father kiss mama and immediately shouted, "Papa, why did you kiss mama? Mama, I need to disinfect you."

He Xiu: "..."

He Diu Diu tugged Jian Yan's clothes and made her bend down. He then kissed her cheeks as well. "Bye-bye mama."

"Bye-bye Diu Diu; remember to listen to papa. Be a good child and do your homework. When I arrive, I'm checking it. If you haven't seriously done your homework, you can't go out and have fun."

"Got it."

After finally seeing off father and son, Jian Yan once again returned to 'Infernal Rush' manuscript mode.

In the car, He Xiu glanced at the small child sitting beside him and called him, "He Yan."

He Yan was Diu Diu's formal name. At that time, he originally wanted to name the child He Yan, but Jian Yan said that this name seemed like one people would want to sing in 'Gongxi Gongxi Gongxi Ni.' The original character for Yan (言) got switched to Yan (研).
