"How about we name the babies Wanwan, Mengmeng, and Fanfan? Is that alright?" Su Ningwei asked, smiling as she sought Ye Chen's opinion.
Ye Chen smiled and replied, "Of course, that's perfect. They sound lovely."
"Wah... wah..." The second baby had been sucking for a long time, but since nothing came out, she started crying in frustration, sounding incredibly cute and milky.
[○・`Д´・ ○]
Su Ningwei said helplessly, "Mengmeng can't get anything either. Why don't we let Fanfan try? Being a boy, he should have more strength."
"Alright." Ye Chen hurriedly picked up the youngest baby to swap him with the second one.
As it turned out, the youngest baby couldn't get anything either.
"Neither of them can get it out. What should we do?" Su Ningwei looked anxious.
Although breastfeeding was exhausting, breast milk was far superior to formula, and Su Ningwei naturally wanted her babies to be able to drink it.
Ye Chen coaxed the youngest baby and placed him back in the crib, then said with a smile, "Don't worry. Why don't you let this 253-month-old baby try?"
"You... are you sure you can?" Su Ningwei asked, her face flushing red.
Ye Chen chuckled. "Whether I can or not, didn't you already test that out the other night?"
"You're annoying..." Su Ningwei's face turned even redder.
Was Ye Chen going to help?
How wicked...
But she liked it so much...
Su Ningwei felt incredibly shy, yet her heart was stirred by Ye Chen's teasing. For the sake of the babies' food, she decided to let Ye Chen try; the most important thing was that the babies could get their breast milk.
"Then... then go ahead." Su Ningwei opened her collar and shyly closed her eyes.
After washing and disinfecting his hands, Ye Chen used a warm towel to gently wipe and compress Su Ningwei's skin.
Then, he rubbed his palms together to warm them up.
Only then did he begin to massage her gently and earnestly.
His hands were met with nothing but softness, smoothness, and fullness...
As he massaged, Ye Chen asked, "Is this pressure okay?"
"Mm... it's fine..." Su Ningwei felt only warmth and comfort.
So it was a proper massage after all...
Su Ningwei had thought Ye Chen was going to use... she had clearly overthought it...
It turned out she was the one with the impure thoughts.
Su Ningwei's face turned even redder, the blush spreading all the way to the roots of her hair.
Ye Chen wasn't doing much better; his face was bright red, but he forced himself to focus on the massage.
When he encountered a blockage, he gently massaged along the milk ducts...
Looking at the pale yellow, viscous liquid, Ye Chen said with delight, "It's working! I succeeded. I'll go get the eldest baby."
Su Ningwei looked down and saw that Ye Chen had indeed managed to express some milk.
Ye Chen was just too amazing; the babies finally had milk to drink.
Overjoyed, Su Ningwei blurted out subconsciously, "Hubby, you're amazing! Our babies have milk to drink now."
Ye Chen, who was holding the eldest baby to feed him, felt a jolt in his heart.
That "hubby" from Su Ningwei stirred up a massive wave in Ye Chen's heart, one that refused to settle for a long time.
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth stretched toward his ears, and he couldn't stop grinning.
"What did you just call me?" Ye Chen looked into Su Ningwei's eyes and asked softly.
Only then did Su Ningwei realize she had actually shouted her inner thoughts out loud and called Ye Chen "hubby." Her face began to burn uncontrollably again.
"Nothing, did I say anything?" Su Ningwei kept her head down, not daring to meet Ye Chen's gaze.
Ye Chen said with gentle seduction, "You did. Wifey, would you say it again for me?"
Wifey!
Su Ningwei's heart hammered like a drum, and her whole body felt hot. Ye Chen had called her "wifey"!
This was just too blissful...
"Hubby..." Su Ningwei said, her face flushed.
Su Ningwei felt like her brain was about to melt; she couldn't think at all.
Ye Chen smiled and patted the top of Su Ningwei's head, responding tenderly, "Yes... such a good girl..."
Su Ningwei's face turned completely crimson, looking utterly bashful...
Ye Chen felt a stir in his heart; he leaned down, tilted his head, and kissed Su Ningwei's pink lips.
Su Ningwei froze for a moment, then shyly closed her eyes and silently savored the moment.
They kissed until they were breathless before finally pulling apart.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the task of kissing your wife, Su Ningwei. Your wife is very satisfied.]
[Ding! System critical hit triggered. Reward: 400,000 in cash, the "No Harm from Staying Up Late" skill, and a "From Chick to Fighter Jet" pill.]
[Ding! The lyrics and musical score for "Friends" by Zhou Huajian of Earth Star have been unlocked.]
[Ding! The materials required for copyright registration—application form, work sample, and creative description form—will be transmitted to your mind each time. Please ensure you register the copyright in a timely manner.]
Ye Chen felt a surge of joy; the seal on Earth Star's culture had finally loosened. This was fantastic!
He could finally promote Earth Star's culture and let the people of Blue Star experience the charm of classic music.
"Friends" was a must-sing track at every KTV, enduring through the ages.
It was just a pity that the system didn't help register the copyright directly.
Fortunately, registering copyrights on Blue Star was convenient; one could simply register and upload the files on the official website.
Registering it himself actually gave him a greater sense of participation.
But what on earth was this "From Chick to Fighter Jet" pill?
Who was it looking down on?
He was already a fighter jet himself.
Did he really need that thing?
He might as well give it to a friend in need.
The "No Harm from Staying Up Late" skill, however, was quite practical.
With this skill, he wouldn't have to worry about his health suffering when staying up late to feed the babies.
He remembered a netizen who, after staying up late to care for his child, had gone from a handsome dad to looking like a disheveled, dark-circled human trafficker—presumably from all the late nights.
Ye Chen's phone vibrated as another 400,000 arrived with ease:
"Your account ending in 2023 received a deposit of 400,000.00 yuan on December 6 at 10:30. Balance: 850,130.56 yuan. [China Construction Bank]"
"Mmm..." The eldest baby hummed in satisfaction after having his fill.
The other two babies, who hadn't been fed yet, caught the scent of milk and began to wail.
Ye Chen handed the second baby to Su Ningwei while he held the youngest to soothe him.
The second baby finally tasted the sweet breast milk and began to suckle with great effort.
Once the second baby was finished, it was the youngest's turn.
Fortunately, Su Ningwei had plenty of milk, enough to feed all three babies.
After the three babies were full, they began to fuss and cry again.
Su Ningwei looked at the three babies and asked worriedly, "Why are the babies crying again? Are they not full?"
The parenting knowledge in Ye Chen's mind told him that the three babies had likely passed meconium and were crying because they were uncomfortable.
"I don't think so. They probably pooped. Let me check." As Ye Chen spoke, he unwrapped the youngest baby's swaddle and opened his onesie. Sure enough, he had soiled himself.
The diaper was covered in dark green, sticky meconium. It looked alarming, but it actually had no odor.
This was because meconium is 85% to 95% composed of a mixture of intestinal epithelial cells, lanugo, vernix caseosa, bile mucus, and solid components from swallowed amniotic fluid.
Su Ningwei asked with concern, "Do you know how to change it? The confinement nanny I booked can't make it until tomorrow. Should we ask a nurse to help?"
[Ding! New task: Change the diapers for all three babies.]
"No need. It's just changing a diaper. Anything a nanny can do, I can do too. I can take good care of you and the kids. With me here, there's no need to spend that unnecessary money," Ye Chen replied quickly.
The system was handing out money again; how could he let anyone else do such a good deed?
