Dad, You're Forcing Us to Buy What You're Selling

"Mmm~"

"Hiss~"

In the middle of the night, Su Wanqing suddenly woke up, uncomfortable from her engorged breasts.

Ever since she had started complaining about having too little breast milk, Zhang Meilan had made soup for every meal. Perhaps Su Wanqing had absorbed the nutrients well, because her milk supply had grown especially abundant, until supply exceeded demand.

Seeing that Tangtang and Yuanyuan were both fast asleep, Su Wanqing felt bad disturbing them. Otherwise, she would have made them drink their fill...

With no other choice, she quietly got out of bed, went over to Lin Yi, and shook him. "Honey, honey!"

"I'm so uncomfortable~"

Under the assault of her shaking and voice, Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes and saw Su Wanqing sitting pitifully in front of him.

Seeing that his wife had come over instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, Lin Yi hurriedly asked, "Honey, what's wrong? Can't sleep?"

Su Wanqing shook her head, then said, "No... my breasts are so engorged..."

Her little face turned bright red as soon as she said it, though it was hard to tell in the dim light.

Although she was still a little embarrassed to talk about such things, Lin Yi had long since become her pillar of support. Whenever she ran into a problem, she went to him.

"Huh? Let me think what to do."

"Hmm... I don't think we have a breast pump!"

"Come on, don't worry. Let me think of something else."

Lin Yi fell into thought. Everything they had bought at the mother-and-baby store before had been for the babies. They hadn't needed maternity supplies at the time, so they hadn't bought any. After all, they hadn't found the babies' mother yet.

Lin Yi truly felt sorry for his wife and wanted to help ease her discomfort.

So he said, "How about I give you a massage? A massage can help relieve it."

Although Lin Yi had offered a solution, Su Wanqing immediately grew embarrassed when she heard the word "massage."

She shook her head like a rattle drum. "No, forget it. I'll bear with it a little longer... hiss!"

"When the little ones wake up, I'll feed them."

"Can you really bear it?"

Seeing her brows knitted tightly from the swelling, Lin Yi felt a pang of heartache.

Su Wanqing, meanwhile, thought it would soon pass if she just bore with it.

But after quite a while, the couple still saw no sign of the two little ones waking up.

Eventually, Su Wanqing couldn't stand the discomfort anymore. Tugging at Lin Yi's clothes, she said softly, "Honey, how about we do what you suggested?"

"Let's get this straight first. I'm only doing this because I'm uncomfortable, so don't get any ideas!"

"Don't you go having any improper thoughts."

"Mm-hm, yes, you're right, honey. I didn't say anything else, did I?"

Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She made it sound as though he were taking some huge advantage of her.

Su Wanqing then lay flat on the bed, her little heart pounding. She was terribly nervous too.

The system had previously given him God-Level Massage, so Lin Yi knew how to relieve the swelling and pain. He could even open a shop without a problem.

Once Su Wanqing was lying on the bed, Lin Yi began.

He had to admit, massage really did take strength.

"Honey, how is it now? Feeling any better?"

"Mm... much better."

Su Wanqing answered in a soft voice. But when she remembered that they were already married, she stopped feeling embarrassed.

Even the blush on her face gradually faded, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

She had to admit, Lin Yi's massage technique was truly impressive. Su Wanqing thoroughly approved.

"Honey, I never knew you were so good at this. You've really been hiding your talents!"

"Of course!"

"Keep going, then~"

"No pwoblem."

Lin Yi nodded with a wry smile. He really was like a working stiff.

But the thought that his wife was no longer uncomfortable put his mind at ease.

After a while, Su Wanqing fell asleep, and Lin Yi finally had time to rest too. Massage was physically demanding work, and by now he was covered in sweat.

Lin Yi promptly took a cold shower.

He thought that starting tomorrow, he wouldn't let his wife drink any more soup. Just because supply exceeded demand didn't mean the quality could keep up!

The next morning, Lin Yi heard sounds from the kitchen and hurriedly got up.

When he came out, he saw Zhang Meilan preparing breakfast. She looked up and jumped in surprise when she saw him.

"B-Brother Lin, why are you up so early?"

"Is there something you want to eat?"

"No. Starting today, don't make any more soup."

Lin Yi spoke with a yawn. He truly hadn't expected the soup to be so effective, so he added,

"Your Sister Qing's breasts are engorged."

"Huh? Oh, okay, I understand. I'll change that right away!"

Zhang Meilan nodded. Although she had never had children, she still knew how uncomfortable breast engorgement was for a new mother.

She then said, "Brother Lin, when a pregnant woman's breasts are engorged, you can apply a hot-water bottle around them to promote blood circulation and ease the pain."

"She can also take a hot bath to improve circulation."

"But the most effective way is still to have Tangtang and Yuanyuan eat a little more, or Brother Lin, you could... ahem, that's all!"

"Mm, I understand. Get back to what you were doing, Meilan."

After speaking, Lin Yi returned to the bedroom, where the two little ones and the big one were fast asleep on the bed.

Just as he was about to lie down, Yuanyuan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Lin Yi with his dark little eyes.

"Wah~"

"Eh~"

"Phew~"

"Good boy, you're awake? Want some milk?"

Without waiting for Yuanyuan to respond, Lin Yi picked the little fellow up and carried him over to Su Wanqing's side. Then he gently woke her. "Honey, get up and feed the baby."

"Honey?"

Su Wanqing's brows furrowed tightly when she heard him, but she was unwilling to open her eyes. She murmured, "Honey, do it yourself. I'm so sleepy~"

She had been uncomfortable for a long time the night before and was too sleepy to open her eyes.

Looking at his "lazy" wife, Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Honey, you wanted to raise the babies on your own back then. Didn't you know yourself well enough?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lin Yi had no choice but to do it himself, bringing the little fellow over to her side.

Still, that whole operation was pretty tiring...

If he hadn't been worried about Su Wanqing's discomfort from the engorgement, Lin Yi would have chosen to feed him formula instead.

He wasn't the sort of man who insisted on breastfeeding. As long as Su Wanqing didn't want to do it, he wouldn't say a word even if the babies were fed nothing but formula.

Su Wanqing, on the other hand, felt that as the babies' mother, breastfeeding was an especially happy thing-as long as she was awake.

After Yuanyuan had eaten and drunk his fill, Lin Yi carried him to the side to play. Just as he was about to cover Su Wanqing back up, Tangtang seemed to catch the scent of milk and woke up too.

"Is Tangtang hungry too? Daddy will feed you some breast milk."

"Eh?"

Tangtang's big, lively eyes blinked. Before the bewildered little girl knew it, she had already been picked up.

If the little one could talk, she would surely have said, "Dad, you're forcing me to buy what you're selling."

Fortunately, Tangtang was hungry too. If there was food, she would eat!

Seeing his son and daughters enjoying their breast milk so much, Lin Yi grew a little curious about what it actually tasted like.

Were there really no babies who disliked breast milk from birth? He thought about it and decided that little babies probably wouldn't cut off their own escape route.

And so, Lin Yi fed the two little ones until they were full.

"Burp~"

"Burp~"

Tangtang had even let out a satisfied burp. Seeing this, Lin Yi hurriedly picked her up and gently patted her back.

On an ordinary morning, Lin Yi played both dad and mom.

By the time Su Wanqing woke up, Lin Yi was playing with the two little ones.

"Honey, thanks for all your hard work~"

"What hard work? It's what I should do."

Seeing the babies happily playing beside her, Su Wanqing, whose "resources were plentiful," immediately had a gleam in her eyes.

"Tangtang, Yuanyuan, how about Mommy gives you some breast milk~"

"..."

Tangtang and Yuanyuan: Burp???
