Qian Renxue Discovered the Pet Egg!
"Mm..."
Qian Renxue puckered her lips, then suddenly felt a little awkward when she saw Lin Luo wake up.
Why did this feel like she'd been caught stealing a kiss???
Wait, what's wrong with kissing my own little baby? Qian Renxue paused, then planted her red lips right on Lin Luo's cheek.
"Baby's awake?!"
"Baby's so amazing!!"
After the kiss, Qian Renxue leaned against the bed, rested her chin on the edge, and looked at Lin Luo, blinking her big, beautiful eyes.
She looked like she was trying to win him over.
Lin Luo stretched his little arms and legs and smacked his lips. His mouth felt dry.
He'd noticed Qian Renxue kissing him just now and heard her speaking, but he didn't want to pay her any attention.
The reason was simple: he'd been hit.
Lin Luo was a person who held grudges in the first place.
I can't get over this, so don't even think about it. A God King of my generation, beaten until I cried in public-how can I show my face after that?
Seeing Lin Luo smack his lips, Qian Renxue immediately turned and ran to the table. She filled a bottle with warm water and even sucked on the nipple herself to test the temperature before hurrying back.
"Baby, have some water!"
Lin Luo lay there without the slightest reaction.
I heard you. I'm just not drinking it, just for the fun of it.
Blame yourself. Regret it, Qian Renxue.
Seeing no reaction from Lin Luo, Qian Renxue immediately leaned against the bed, her face full of ingratiating smiles. Then she offered the bottle with both hands. "Please have some water, Lord Baby!"
Her attitude isn't bad, at least.
Although he couldn't possibly forgive her so easily, Lin Luo really was thirsty.
He opened his mouth.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue immediately helped Lin Luo sit up and brought the bottle to his mouth. She'd planned to feed him herself, but Lin Luo reached out with both his chubby little hands and snatched the bottle away.
Without even looking at Qian Renxue, he held the bottle, which was bigger than his head, and drank by himself.
Qian Renxue watched him, her eyes full of motherly affection.
"Baby can drink water all by himself now. So clever!"
"Pfft!"
Lin Luo sprayed out a mouthful of water and broke into a choking cough.
Do you have to praise me for even drinking water?!
I'm drinking water very seriously here. What are you praising me for?!
Can you be a little more serious?
Lin Luo lost his composure in an instant, coughing until his whole face turned red. Qian Renxue was terrified. She hurriedly picked him up and gently patted his back.
"Baby, are you okay?"
"Drink slowly. No one's going to take it from you."
You praised me just for drinking water. I really couldn't hold it in, okay...? Lin Luo complained inwardly.
"Baby hasn't said a word all day. You must be angry with Mommy, right? I'm sorry. Mommy only found out afterward what you went to do."
Qian Renxue murmured sadly.
"Mommy was very touched, and very happy, and felt very guilty too."
"I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"
Lin Luo's coughing eased.
He looked up at Qian Renxue, only to suddenly freeze.
Only then did he notice how red and swollen her eyes were.
He'd never seen her cry like this before.
He'd been a little angry. He'd gone hungry and worked hard all day, only to get hit when he came back.
But seeing Qian Renxue like this, Lin Luo couldn't stay angry at all.
Lin Luo slowly raised a chubby little hand and pointed at her eyes, his heart aching for her. "Yi..."
"Mommy was so sad because she couldn't find you, and even sadder because she misunderstood you. Ever since I gave birth to you, I've become such a crybaby, haven't I?"
Qian Renxue took hold of Lin Luo's arm and smiled, affectionately rubbing her cheek against his little hand.
"Mommy... cry."
Lin Luo kept pointing at Qian Renxue's red, swollen eyes, his little brows furrowed.
Qian Renxue nodded. "All right, all right. Mommy promises you she'll never cry again. I sweah it to Little Luoluo!"
She held up four slender fingers.
"I sweah!"
As if one hand wasn't enough of a promise, Qian Renxue raised the other one too.
Only then did Lin Luo smile and say, "Mommy~"
Qian Renxue smiled too. "Baby~"
"Doo doo doo!"
Lin Luo immediately picked up the toy sword beside him and poked it at Qian Renxue.
"Baby's so amazing! Hmph! Mommy's no pushover either!"
Qian Renxue immediately picked up another toy sword and began to "fight" Lin Luo.
The two toy swords, one blue and one red, clashed gently in midair with a clatter. But the next moment, the sword in Qian Renxue's hand was "accidentally" knocked onto the bed by Lin Luo.
Lin Luo giggled and thrust his sword forward.
Qian Renxue immediately raised both hands. "Baby's too amazing! Mommy surrenders! I surrender!"
"Stabbed" in the chest, Qian Renxue cried, "Ah!" and tipped over onto the bed, playing dead.
A moment later, she opened one smiling eye to look at Lin Luo, and soon a cute little head plunged into her arms.
"Yiya!"
"What are you doing? You already 'killed' me, you naughty baby!"
Outside the window, the moon shone bright among sparse stars. The room's warm yellow lamplight was filled with laughter and cheerful voices, and even the air was suffused with warmth.
Lin Luo lay in Qian Renxue's arms, nursing. As he drank, he noticed she'd gone still. He looked up and saw that she had fallen asleep.
She probably hasn't slept a wink in nearly two days either, has she?
Thinking this, Lin Luo stopped nursing. He raised a chubby little hand to pull Qian Renxue's clothes down, then struggled to tug the blanket over her.
Only after doing all that did he obediently lie down beside her, holding her arm in his embrace like a body pillow.
Early the next morning.
Lin Luo woke up in bed.
The sound of bathing was already coming from the pool. Lin Luo quietly got out of bed and crawled toward the window.
But just then, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that the door wasn't quite the same as before.
Lin Luo doubled back and crawled over to the door. Only then did he discover that it wasn't locked. Instead, it had deliberately been left slightly ajar.
Golden morning light shone in from outside, leaving a vertical stripe of gold across his adorable face.
It felt warm.
At that moment, an indescribable feeling suddenly welled up in Lin Luo's heart.
"Thank you, Mommy."
He smiled as he said it in his heart, then carefully crawled out of the room.
Qian Renxue had been quietly keeping an eye on the activity over there.
Hearing the door open and close, she sat in the pool and raised her slender, pale arms to sweep her long, wet golden hair back behind her head.
Her beautiful face, beaded with water and flushed beneath its fair skin from the heat, went still for a moment. Then a faint smile appeared at the corners of her lips.
"You've set off again, just as I thought, little knight."
Four days later, at night.
Six hours remained until the pet egg hatched.
"Luo'er? Where are you? Stop playing hide-and-seek with Mommy."
Qian Renxue wandered around the room. The child had clearly still been on the bed just a moment ago. How had he vanished in the blink of an eye?
Meanwhile, under the bed.
Lin Luo sat on the cold floor, staring solemnly at the pet egg standing upright in front of him.
The surface of the eggshell gave off a strange red glow. It was very faint, but Lin Luo could even hear the faintest sound of a heartbeat coming from inside the shell.
Only six hours remained until it hatched. That was no more than the time it took to get some sleep.
What should I do?
What am I supposed to do with this thing once it hatches?
Lin Luo sat under the bed, hesitating over whether to tell Qian Renxue.
But just then, a voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Found you! What are you doing, hiding in there?"
Qian Renxue called out as she lifted the bedsheet, but when her gaze shifted, the smile immediately vanished from her face.
She saw the egg giving off a red glow.
After Qian Renxue discovered it, the pet egg seemed to have nothing left to worry about and immediately began rolling happily around on the floor.
Lin Luo was dumbfounded.
