Chapter 1194 - I remember hearing this story in my dreams.
They finished their meal in festive spirits.
Soon, Pei Ge began to feel fatigue from her recent flight.
“Haaaa!”
She yawned and tiredness flashed across her eyes.
“Are you sleepy?” asked Egger gently when he observed that she looked tired.
“Slightly.”
After all, she had taken a long flight. Despite sleeping most of the way, it was still different from lying down in a big, comfortable bed.
“I’ll send you back, then.”
“Let’s go shower together!”
“Yes!”
She bathed the two before retreating to the specially commissioned, large bed.
“Hoo!”
Once they were settled in bed, she let out a comfortable sigh.
“Mommy, I wanna listen to a bedtime story! Brother and I haven’t heard one in a long time!”
Little Ran Ran tugged at her arm, acting cutesy.
“Sister, mommy is feeling tired right now. We should just go to sleep for today!”
Little An An, who had always doted on his sister, shook his head and rejected her idea.
The girl only realized then that her mother indeed looked really tired.
“Sorry…”
“It’s fine.”
Their mother looked at them before kissing them on their heads.
“Since we’re going to sleep, mommy will tell you a bedtime story!”
She smiled indulgently at them as she narrated ‘The Three Little Pigs’.
“Once upon a time, there were three little pigs…”
She fell asleep halfway through the story.
“Mommy?”
The children lifted their heads from her embrace when they heard no more sound from her.
Their big eyes then registered their mother’s sleeping face.
“Shhh! Mommy is asleep.”
The boy signaled his sister to keep quiet while he tried to keep his voice low.
“Mhm! Shh!”
The girl nodded and placed her index finger on her pink lips as she shushed herself.
“Brother, has mommy told us that before?”
“No. What’s the matter?”
“…I remember hearing this story in my dreams!”
“Hm?”
“I remember… hearing her tell me this story in my dreams!”
