Because Huang Tao went to bed a bit late last night, it was no surprise that he didn’t wake up on time this morning.

He overslept a bit.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to set an alarm before going to sleep last night.

Just listen to that!

He woke up groggily to the urgent "beep beep" of the alarm clock.

But as soon as he woke up, he felt a bit uneasy.

He quickly turned his head to look...

At some point, little Xuanxuan had woken up.

Right now, she was looking at him with her head turned.

Her chubby little cheeks were red, her eyes were red too, and her little mouth was pouting, with an expression of wanting to cry but unable to.

Oh my dear!

What’s going on?

Huang Tao’s heart skipped a beat. Initially drowsy, he suddenly became tense. He was a bit flustered and at a loss in the face of this sudden situation.

"Daddy~"

Seeing her father awake and staring at her, Xuanxuan moved her lips and with great difficulty managed to squeeze out these two short words.

And at the moment she spoke...

Her big red eyes immediately filled with tears, threatening to flood any second.

Seeing his dear daughter’s extremely aggrieved little expression, Huang Tao’s heart was instantly tugged. He quickly reached out to touch her little cheek and asked softly and worriedly, "Sweetie, what’s wrong with you?"

"Daddy, I..."

Xuanxuan pursed her lips, tears already pooling in her eyes, and before long they fell as two crystal-clear tears. She whimpered softly, "I... I peed..."

"Ah?"

Seeing his dear daughter cry "golden beans", Huang Tao hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears from her face, asking worriedly, "Did you have a nightmare? Don’t be afraid, Daddy’s here!"

Xuanxuan gently shook her head.

"No?"

Huang Tao reached out to touch Xuanxuan’s forehead, asking worriedly, "Then do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

As he spoke, he wanted to take her into his arms to offer her a sense of security.

However...

This time, instead of snuggling into his arms as she usually did, Xuanxuan moved away and shook her head again, saying softly, "No, Daddy."

"It was... it was when I was sleeping... I peed..."

In the next moment, she couldn’t hold it any longer and burst into tears.

Oh?

Peeing?

Now that Huang Tao understood clearly, he finally grasped the situation.

So his dear daughter had wet the bed while sleeping...

Oh my gosh,

That almost scared me to death earlier!

Huang Tao let out a long sigh of relief, finally putting his heart back into his chest.

After all, bedwetting isn’t a big deal for children.

Occasional bedwetting is also normal, medically referred to as physiological enuresis. Most children stop wetting the bed at night after age five.

Moreover, in his memory, Xuanxuan hadn’t wet the bed much since she turned two.

This was only the third time, if you count this one!

The main reason was that last night’s birthday party had made the little one both excited and tired, and she had drunk a lot of drinks. Plus, she fell asleep on the way home. Huang Tao had carried her straight to bed without making her go to the bathroom first, and since she slept so deeply, she couldn’t hold it.

Of course, he shared some responsibility too.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry~"

He apologized with a gentle look, taking Xuanxuan into his arms and gently patting her back, comforting her softly, "Daddy will take you for a bath, you’ll feel better when you’re clean."

Xuanxuan buried her little head in her daddy’s chest, sobbing, "But... but I wet all the sheets..."

Bedwetting is so embarrassing...

"It’s okay!"

He reached out to rub the back of Xuanxuan’s head, saying gently, "I’ll wash them in the washing machine later, they’ll be clean again."

As he spoke, he took off Xuanxuan’s wet pajama pants and wrapped her with a blanket, carrying her out of the bedroom.

"Meow~"

An oblivious Mimi climbed out of its cat bed and followed behind, meowing as if to say: Master, master, what’s up with the little master?

Unfortunately...

There was no reply.

Even the little master she loved didn’t pay attention to her.

Who’s fault is it that her little master was currently feeling both sad and embarrassed, not in the mood to play with her!

"Ah~"

Xuanxuan suddenly became sad again, instinctively burying her face once more into Huang Tao’s chest, not daring to look at Mimi, and weakly asked, "Daddy, will Mimi find out, will she laugh at me!"

She couldn’t bear the embarrassment!

Huang Tao stifled a laugh and said, "Don’t worry, if we don’t tell her, she won’t know or laugh at you, because she can’t talk!"

Thinking this over, Xuanxuan found her father’s words reasonable and felt relieved.

They reached the bathroom.

Huang Tao turned on the bathroom heater and the hot water faucet.

When the water was warm, he took off Xuanxuan’s shirt.

He bathed her.

After the bath, he wrapped Xuanxuan in a bath towel, covered her with a blanket, and carried her back to the bedroom.

He dressed her in a clean, pretty little dress, and only then did her mood lift from gloomy to slightly better.

But still!

She was still feeling embarrassed about wetting the bed.

She fiddled with the hem of her dress and pursed her lips, speaking up: "Daddy~"

"Hmm?"

Huang Tao looked at Xuanxuan and asked with concern, "What’s wrong?"

"Daddy~"

She hesitated before expressing her thought: "Could you not tell Grandpa and Grandma about me wetting the bed?"

Huang Tao nodded: "Don’t worry, Daddy won’t tell them."

Xuanxuan continued: "Also, don’t tell Teacher Ye and Teacher Xu~"

Huang Tao nodded again: "Alright, I won’t tell."

Xuanxuan blinked a few times: "And don’t tell Aunt Suqin, Uncle Xu Hao, Brother Zifeng..."

Huang Tao smiled and nodded: "Okay, I won’t tell any of them."

"Also, also..."

Xuanxuan thought for a moment and said: "Don’t tell the kids in our class, not even Qianqian."

Although there were often kids who wet the bed in their class, every time a kid wet the bed, the others would secretly laugh at them.

As for not telling Qianqian, it was because last time, when Qianqian secretly told her about wetting the bed, Xuanxuan had proudly told her that she didn’t wet the bed anymore.

So...

She couldn’t let Qianqian find out, otherwise, she might laugh at her.

Huang Tao assured her: "Don’t worry, Daddy won’t mention it to anyone."

Xuanxuan was somewhat skeptical: "Daddy, do you promise?"

Huang Tao nodded confidently: "I promise I won’t bring it up to anyone, after all, this is our secret!"

"Mm-hmm~"

Hearing this, Xuanxuan’s heart finally settled completely.

She believed, Daddy would definitely keep his word!

"Thank you, Daddy~ You’re the best~"

Xuanxuan put her arms around Huang Tao’s neck and happily kissed his cheek.

Oh my! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

My little darling has finally smiled through tears!

Huang Tao chuckled as he stripped off the wet sheets and the mattress cover.

"Daddy, I’ll help you~"

"Alright!"

Working together, father and daughter replaced the sheets and mattress cover with new ones.

Then Huang Tao returned to the bathroom to rinse the wet parts of the mattress cover with water and hung it to dry on the balcony.

As for the rest of the laundry, he would wash it all in the washing machine when he came back in the evening!

After all, with time running late, by the time he finished washing and headed to the shop, the morning market would surely be delayed by an hour.

If that’s the case, the regular customers at the front of the store might sure be mad enough to curse...

To avoid impacting the business hours of the morning market, after Huang Tao and Xuanxuan quickly freshened up, they hurriedly got into the car and rushed to the store...
