Finding Food Is Hard, Tangtang Sighs

Zhang Meilan woke up very early. Now that the babies' mother was home, Su Wanqing came first at all three meals.

Breakfast was ready, and when she heard Lin Yi's bedroom door open, she hurried over.

She glanced at Lin Yi on the bed, then at the blushing Su Wanqing, and spoke awkwardly. "Brother Lin, Sister-in-law Lin, breakfast is ready. Come and eat."

"I'll leave you two alone now."

Afraid of disturbing them, Zhang Meilan dashed away. She decided she should knock the next time she went to their room.

Yes, she had to be a maternity and infant care specialist who knew her boundaries and when to step back.

And to avoid disturbing the young couple, she thought it would be better to move to the second floor.

Su Wanqing looked at Zhang Meilan, baffled by her behavior. She and Lin Yi hadn't done anything.

Afterward, Lin Yi carried Tangtang and Su Wanqing carried Dabao as they went to the dining table.

Once they were seated, Zhang Meilan enthusiastically introduced the dishes. "This pork rib soup helps with milk production, this steamed egg custard is easy to digest, and these stir-fried carrots are rich in vitamins..."

Seeing the table laden with food, Su Wanqing smiled and nodded. "Meilan, thank you for all your hard work."

"It's nothing. It's what I should be doing."

Zhang Meilan grinned. She had finally made herself useful.

Seeing how professional Zhang Meilan was, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction. Choosing her back then had undoubtedly been the best decision.

"Honey, eat more. Look how thin you are."

Lin Yi put vegetables and meat into Su Wanqing's bowl until a mound rose above its rim.

"I know. I can do it myself."

Su Wanqing nodded, blushing, and took a sip of soup...

"Mmm~"

"Heh~"

"Ah-yah~"

The stroller the system had given them was enormous, and the two of them put the babies in it while they ate.

Enticed by the aroma, Tangtang waved her little arms and legs and babbled, hoping her parents would share a bite with her.

Although they refused her every time, the food smelled so good that Tangtang was drooling.

"Mmm~"

"Hoo~"

Unlike the lively, energetic Tangtang, Dabao was as quiet as a handsome young man, blinking his big eyes as he stared blankly at the ceiling.

Every now and then, his little sister's fists landed on him in the stroller, but he didn't make a sound. Instead, he turned his little head to look at Tangtang.

Dabao would definitely be a doting-sister maniac when he grew up!

The stroller was a little closer to Lin Yi, and when he saw Tangtang drooling with hunger, he was resolute.

After all, Zhang Meilan had told him last time that babies couldn't digest food if they were fed too early.

"Tangtang, be good. When you're six months old, you can have solid food."

"Then Daddy will make you something tasty."

"Hua~"

"Ah-yah~"

Tangtang pursed her little lips. Perhaps sensing that Lin Yi had refused her, the little one sighed softly.

It seemed to say: finding food is hard, Tangtang sighs.

When Su Wanqing heard Lin Yi say he would make something tasty for Tangtang, she blinked her big, doll-like eyes and asked softly, "Honey~ you can cook too?"

"Uh... I can make a few simple things, but I don't know how to prepare baby food."

"But I can learn."

"Oh."

Su Wanqing nodded lightly. She couldn't cook, but she had found herself a husband who could. Now Fang Yan would never have to worry about her going hungry again.

Without realizing it, Su Wanqing had gone from stumbling over the word "honey" when addressing Lin Yi to letting it slip out naturally. Even she hadn't noticed.

Lin Yi was enjoying it too.

In Zhang Meilan's eyes, the two were already a married couple. She had believed the excuses Lin Yi had made up on the spot.

After all, it was rare for people like Lin Yi and Su Wanqing to have children before getting married and then live together.

As for the simple meals Lin Yi said he could make, he could actually only boil instant noodles, noodles, and other things that cooked in boiling water. The only dish he could make was stir-fried tomatoes and eggs; anything harder was beyond him.

In any case, knowing how to make those was enough to keep him from starving.

After breakfast, the two put the little ones on the bed to play freely. Su Wanqing suddenly remembered that Dabao's nickname was simply Dabao, which seemed a little careless.

Parting her lips, she sat beside Lin Yi. "Honey, why don't you give Dabao a name?"

"Didn't you think of one while you were pregnant?"

Su Wanqing shook her head. As a first-time mother, she hadn't thought about names at all, and after the children were born, she had just called them Dabao and Erbao.

Lin Yi shook his head with a wry smile, his mind racing. What nickname should he give him?

Suddenly, inspiration struck, and he looked at Su Wanqing and blurted it out.

"How about... Yuanyuan? Tuantuan yuanyuan means being together as a family. It's a good name."

"It's a shame Tangtang already has a nickname. If I'd known, we could have called her Tuantuan."

"It's all right. Let's call Dabao Yuanyuan."

Su Wanqing went over to her son with a smile. "Dabao, from today on, you're Yuanyuan."

"Hua~"

"Mmm~"

Perhaps because he had been given a name, the usually quiet Dabao became lively.

Even Tangtang was babbling beside him. The little girl might have been even happier because her brother was happy.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Yi's mind.

[Ding! Super Dad System activating]

[Host: Lin Yi]

[The system has detected that the host has named both babies. A constitution enhancement is awarded]

[Reward delivered]

Huh? A constitution enhancement?

Lin Yi considered it. The system had really come through this time. It was something no amount of money could buy, and now the little ones wouldn't get sick so easily.

Two mysterious forces then entered Tangtang's and Yuanyuan's bodies, one each. The forces quietly transformed the little ones' constitutions while also expelling impurities from their bodies.

The forces did the little ones no harm at all. On the contrary, Tangtang and Yuanyuan looked as though they were enjoying themselves, puzzling even Su Wanqing, who was beside them.

"Honey, look at Tangtang and Yuanyuan. They've suddenly settled down. They seem very comfortable."

"The little ones had fun playing and got tired, so they're taking a rest."

That was the only explanation Lin Yi could give, but seeing how much the little ones were enjoying themselves reassured him.

Before long, the system's constitution enhancement was complete. Tangtang grew lively again, while Yuanyuan looked so mature that it didn't suit his age at all.

Seeing this, Lin Yi looked thoroughly puzzled. "Honey, isn't our good boy a little too quiet?"

"Yuanyuan has been like this since he was born. Apart from crying when he needs to eat or sleep, he hardly ever cries."

"Maybe he knows he's the big brother, so he's a little more well-behaved and sensible."

"Or maybe he's afraid I'll be too tired, so he isn't very active."

"Oh."

Lin Yi nodded. So the little one had known to care for his mother from the start. He would surely be a filial child when he grew up.

Then he said happily, "Our Yuanyuan definitely won't pull out Daddy and Mommy's oxygen tubes when he grows up, right?"

"Hua~"

"Hoo~"

Yuanyuan moved his little mouth, seemingly in response.

Beside him, Tangtang babbled and waved her little arms and legs, trying hard to get Lin Yi's attention, as if saying, "Daddy, ask me! Ask me!"
