It took about another hour before they arrived at Li Fengjin's house. The rain still carried on but it had reduced by a bit.
As soon as Li Fengjin stepped out of the car, his mother came running to him with an umbrella. Mrs Li was stunned to see her son carrying his son.
"You..."
"I could really use an extra umbrella. Thanks, sweetheart," Li Fengjin said.
"No worries."
Li Fengjin placed his hand over Bai Renxiang's head. He did not want her to get hurt.
"Oh my God! You are drenched, dear. How come?" Mrs Li gasped when she saw Bai Renxiang's wet self.
"We will talk later. First, we need to get inside," Li Fengjin said.
"Yes. Come with me, dear," Mrs Li shared tge umbrella with Bai Renxiang.
When they got inside the house, Mrs Li went to make hot tea to help with the cold.
"Go to my room and have a warm bath," Li Fengjin said to Bai Renxiang.
"I will after I help Xiaojin take a bath," Bai Renxiang said.
"Don't worry. I'll do it. You stayed in the rain for a long time. Go on. I can handle bathing a kid," he assured her.
"Alright."
"Hey, champ. Don't you think you should wake up?" Li Fengjin looked down at the little piece in his arms.
Bai Xiaojin let out a carefree yawn. His droopy eyes took in his environment. It was unfamiliar. After looking around, his eyes fell on Li Fengjin.
"How are we here? When did you get here? This is not my house. Where's my mummy?" Bai Xiaojin fired a series of questions at Li Fengjin.
"Which question would you like me to answer first?" Li Fengjin asked back.
"Where is my mummy?"
"In my room, taking a warm bath which you should also be taking right now," Li Fengjin answered as he walked out of the living room.
*blink blink*
"So, we're at your house?"
"Yes."
"What happened? We were supposed to go home?" Bai Xiaojin asked again.
"True. But the car you guys were in got bad. I happened to pass the same route as you guys so I helped. As for your home, the road going there is very bad," Li Fengjin said in one breath.

"Oh! What about grandma? She would be worried."
"She's aware that you and your mother would be staying at my house for the night."
"Okay."
"Now, we need to get you a warm bath so that you would not catch a cold later," Li Fengjin said.
He let Bai Xiaojin down and went to set up the bath first. Bai Xiaojin's eyes roamed about the to. It was way bigger than their room back at his house. The bed looks big and comfy too.
Soon enough, Li Fengjin came back from the bathroom. He had taken off his suit jacket. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. As for the buttons, it was not done in the first place.
"Time to get undressed," Li Fengjin said ad he clasped both hands together.
"Undress? You... Are you bathing me?" Bai Xiaojin moved a step back.
"Yes. Is there a problem with that? I already assured Renxiang that I would help her to take care of your bath," Li Fengjin said.
"But... I can take a bath by my-myself," Bai Xiaojin stammered.
His chubby cheeks were slightly bright red. He was ashamed. Li Fengjin raised his brows at the little boy that did not even reach his thighs.
"Are you shy?" He asked. "What are you being shy for? I am your-" he paused.
That was close.
He had almost said the word father just now. Phew! That was a very close call. How would he have been able to explain things if he had said that?
"Sigh. I am also a guy. It's not as if I would stare. Besides, you let your mother bathe you, right?"
"Yes. But that's my mummy. She gave birth to me. It is different from you," Bai Xiaojin said with a pout.
"You... Come on. Why are you behaving like a girl?" Li Fengjin asked?
"I am not."
"Yes, you are. I promised to help you take a bath and that is what u shall do. I promise not to look at your treasure," Li Fengjin said.
He was forcing himself to hold in the smile that was threatening to appear on his face. Bai Xiaojin's behaviour was just too cute. It also made him remember when his father gave him a bath for the first time.
"You promise? Mummy said to not let anyone see my treasure. I can take a bath by myself," Bai Xiaojin said.
'I can't believe she told him that. Sigh. He is not a girl,' Li Fengjin mentally facepalmed himself.
"How will you scrub your back?" Li Fengjin asked.
"I have flexible arms," Bai Xiaojin answered.
"You mean short arms," Li Fengjin corrected with a playful smile.
"My arms are not short at all. They are just small because I am small. Wait until I grow up. You will see that I do not have short arms," Bai Xiaojin said.
"Alright. Now, come on. I will not look at anything while bathing you. I promise."
"Okay," Bai Xiaojin stepped out of his clothes and dashed into the bathroom.

He checked the temperature of the water in the tub. Seeing as it was comfortably warm, he claimed in. Li Fengjin shook his head with a smile. He proceeded to pick up the soap and started washing his son.
Soon enough, Bai Xiaojin became very comfortable with letting Li Fengjin bathe him. They even started playing with the water in the tub. Laughing and screaming and giggling here and there.
Mrs Li who was making her way to check on them smiled when she heard the happy sounds coming from the guest room. She silently went back to the kitchen to start making the tea.
After Li Fengjin was done bathing Bai Xiaojin, he dried his body and wrapped him up to prevent cold. Li Fengjin searched for what Bai Xiaojin could wear.
Luckily, he found one of Ye Lee Ai's sleepwear in one of the drawers in the room. He sighed in relief. Then, Li Fengjin helped Bai Xiaojin slip into the clothes.
Due to the height difference, the clothes were a little bit big for Bai Xiaojin. But it was better than nothing. Li Fengjin also found a sweater, a pair of sucks and a head warmer for Bai Xiaojin.
While he was putting that on, Bai Renxiang came in.
"Jin."
"Yes, my love."
"Yes, mummy."
They answered together. Bai Renxiang was caught off guard. She paused in her steps as she took in the two faces that were now in her view. Now, she noticed it very well.
They do look alike. So much that one would instantly think that Li Fengjin was Bai Xiaojin's father.
Just then, their laughter pulled her out of her trance. Both of them found it funny that they answered at the same time. Come to think of it, their names were almost the same. What a coincidence.
"Ah! You guys are having a great time together, huh?" Bay Renxiang said casually.
"Yes, we are," Bai Xiaojin answered. "Mummy, why are you still in a bathrobe?" he asked.
Li Fengjin's gaze now focussed on Bai Renxiang. He gulped hen the thought of her not wearing anything underneath the bathrobe flashed through his mind. She was wearing his bathrobe.
'Damn! She is assaulting my nerves,' he said in his head.
Li Fengjin found it hard to take his eyes off Bai Renxiang. Her cheeks had a hint of a slight blush on them. He wondered if it was from the warm water or just her normal reaction to his stares.
"Uhm, i-i do kit have any other clothes with me. I was... I was wondering if- if you could lend me yours," Bai Renxiang stuttered.
All through, her eyes were glued to her toes. She was nervous, alright. Li Fengjin was staring at her like that again. To even make things worst, she was wearing zero pieces of clothing inside HIS bathrobe.
Why would she not be nervous? Bai Renxiang but her lips as she slowly looked at Li Fengjin. He was still staring wide-eyed at her. He had not said a word.
"Uhm, J-Jin?!" Bai Renxiang called.
"Uncle Fengjin," Bai Xiaojin shook the daze out of him.
"Huh? Ah! Yes, I did with his done bath," Li Fengjin said.
"Hehehee! That was not what mummy asked," Bai Xiaojin giggled.
He could guess perfectly that his uncle Fengjin was captivated by his mother. Bai Xiaojin felt proud. His mother is just too beautiful to behold.
"Can you... Can you lend me some clothes?" Bai Renxiang repeated her question.
"My clothes? No. I mean... Yes. S-Sure. You need something to wear after all. We do not want you to catch a cold now, do we? Let's go," Li Fengjin spoke awkwardly.
