25 Theres Nothing You Can Do About It 3 (1/2)

”Waaa!” Unsurprisingly, Peach's loud cries rang out, piercing through the silence of the night.

”What's wrong?” Jolted awake by Peach's cry, Peach's mother threw on her pajamas, and hurried to Peach's room to investigate.

Switching on the light, Peach's mother saw Shen Mochen squinting due to the light and blurrily looking at her. Next to him, Peach was wrapped in her own quilt and wailing with her eyes closed.

It was the first time that Peach's mother had seen this happen, so she was taken aback. She quickly carried Peach out of her blanket and hugged her while calming her down, ”Peach, don't be scared? Are you having a nightmare? Mommy is here now…”

Shen Mochen rolled his eyes exasperatedly. When will Peach correct this problem of hers?

Turning over, Shen Mochen planned to continue sleeping. However, the more Peach's mother tried to pacify her, the more Peach cried sorrowfully. Her tears were streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls, trickling down from the corner of her closed eyes.

Peach's mother felt her heart being wrenched and she panicked, ”Peach, Peach. Baby, are you uncomfortable?”

Shen Mochen sighed resignedly. It seemed that if Peach did not stop her crying, he would not be able to sleep tonight.

Sitting up on the bed with his quilt wrapped around him, he rubbed his tired eyes. He was exhausted and could barely keep his eyes open. Then, he said, ”Auntie, pass her to me.”

”Huh?” Peach's mother stared at him in confusion. She then looked at Peach who was bawling in her arms and hesitated to put Peach in his arms.

The second Peach touched Shen Mochen's arm, she immediately stopped crying. Furiously burying her fluffy little head against Shen Mochen's chest, Peach continued to sleep soundly. Only the tears lingering in the corner of her eyes reminded them that this little girl had been crying heartbreakingly just moments before.
