The man frowned slightly.

He remembered that the child did not have the habit of sleeping with a doll.

Is it because of a lack of security?

Under the hazy bedside lamp, the man's face was a little unstable.

But soon, the corners of the man's mouth raised.

He found that the child's eyes were secretly opened and looked at him.

"Dad is going to start reading stories."

The man covered his hands above the child's eyes, "Qiqi must close her eyes obediently."

The child hugged the doll tightly and nodded seriously.

The eyelids are closed tightly and the long eyelashes are trembling slightly.

"Don't use that hard."

The man reminded the child, "Be careful of eye pain."

The child's tense face suddenly relaxed.

The man shook his head in a funny way, "Okay, Dad is going to start reading Little Red Riding Hood."

"Ahem~"

The man cleared his throat.

He was inexplicably nervous because he hadn't read a story book to his child for too long.

"Once upon a time, there was a cute little girl..."

...

The man put down the fairy tale book in his hand.

The child is already asleep.

A slight breathing sound brushed the doll's fluff.

He smiled and helped the child clean the hair before his forehead.

The soft hair made his heart soft.

He put the fairy tale book back on the bedside table and turned off the bedside lamp.

He sat in the dark for a while, then left the room lightly.

"Click~"

After a light and inaudible sound, the door was closed.

The man walked to the balcony and lit a cigarette.

He can smoke.

I used to smoke.

But after his wife became pregnant, he stopped smoking at home.

Once he came back from smoking outside and wanted to hold the child. After being covered with his nose, he didn't smoke much outside anymore.

He was not addicted to smoking.

Quitting smoking was almost a breeze for him.

Now, it is the first time he has smoked at home in so many years.

......

The air at night is a bit cool.
