After Li Si returned home, Buding really wasn't asleep. However, he wasn't crying or fussing either; instead, he was practicing lifting his head on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing how earnestly he was working, Mrs. Leng and Sister Ding couldn't help but chuckle, their faces brimming with amusement.
As soon as Li Si walked in, Mrs. Leng curiously asked her a question. Li Si knew that Leng Ning still hadn't planned to tell Mrs. Leng about having a boyfriend, so she made up an excuse, saying Leng Ning had run into a classmate.
When Buding saw his mom had come back, he was overjoyed, laughing brightly. Li Si held him for just a moment before he started searching for his mom's embrace, prompting Mrs. Leng to laugh and say, "This little guy, he even knows his mom's scent!"
Before Li Si returned home, whenever Mrs. Leng or Sister Ding held him, he could tell they weren't his mom, and his little body would keep squirming around in their arms.
