Chapter 34 Zhao Zhao Makes Milk by Herself

"Dad? Mom? Third brother? Fourth brother? No, where are you all?" Lu Qi was speechless.

Did they forget that she and her older brother were still on a video call on their phones?

“Something must have happened to Zhao Zhao…” Lu Xun said with a worried look. “Let’s ask her again later.”

After Zhao Zhao was taken back to her room by Yin Song and the others, Lu Cheng remembered that her phone was still on the table.

When he returned, he saw two resentful faces and thought to himself, "Oh no."

In my haste, I forgot about my older brother and sister here.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I forgot my phone." The family meeting ended abruptly due to the unexpected situation, and Lu Cheng, responsible for cleaning up the mess, quickly apologized to the two people remotely.

"What's wrong with Zhao Zhao? I heard you all calling his name," Lu Xun asked, frowning.

"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare. I woke up and found no one next to me, so I cried. My parents are comforting me now," Lu Cheng explained.

"What? Zhao Zhao is crying?" Lu Qi's voice suddenly rose several octaves, startling Lu Cheng, who quickly moved his phone away.

"Was Zhaozhao...crying a lot?" Lu Xun continued to ask.

Lu Cheng scratched his head blankly and hesitated, "Anyway, I've never seen him cry like this before. It breaks my heart to see him like this. His little face is twitching."

Hearing this, Lu Qi felt heartbroken even through the screen.

Her poor little Zhao Zhao.

Lu Xun felt sorry for Lu Cheng, but she was too busy to go. After giving Lu Cheng a few more instructions, she ended the video chat.

Lu Qi also asked Lu Cheng to spend more time playing with Zhao Zhao tomorrow and make her happy.

"I know, don't worry. I definitely won't make Zhaozhao unhappy at home. Zhaozhao loves playing with me the most," Lu Cheng said narcissistically.

"Tch! Zhao Zhao was just flattering you. Alright, alright, I have to go now, I won't waste any more time with you." As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Qi logged off.

Inside the room.

Yin Song used the hot towel that Lu Wenyan handed him to wipe Zhao Zhao's face.

The little one's eyes and face were red from crying, and he looked listless.

"Don't be afraid, baby. Daddy and Mommy will sleep with you tonight." Yin Song's tone became even gentler, and she laughed, "Look how strong Daddy is! Any demons or monsters he encounters can be sent flying with one punch, haha!"

Lu Wenyan then showed off his biceps, saying, "Zhaozhao, look how strong Daddy is! Daddy can protect you!"

Lu Yinzhao was so amused by Lu Wenyan's expression that she couldn't cry anymore.

He didn't know why he suddenly couldn't stop crying. He tried to stop himself, but he couldn't control himself.

Perhaps the emotions reached a certain point, and like a floodgate opened, they poured out.

He has gradually stabilized now, but the feeling from earlier still lingers in his body.

It's better that Yin Song and Lu Wenyan misunderstood him as having a nightmare; it would be awkward if they really knew what he was thinking.

Lu Yinzhao no longer wanted to think about his past life. He just wanted to live his current life well and spend this life happily and healthily with his family, whom he had finally managed to have.

"Mommy, Daddy," the little boy's voice was slightly hoarse.

"Hmm? What does my darling want to say?"

"Baby will always love you all." Lu Yinzhao said what he had wanted to say since earlier.

He wants to express his feelings; love is mutual.

Lu Yinzhao believes that positive feedback from children to their parents will make parents love their children more, and a good family atmosphere requires courageous communication and expression.

Lu Yinzhao is truly grateful to them. From Yin Song and Lu Wenyan's perspective, it may be that God chose him to be their child, but Lu Yinzhao also sees it that way; it is God who chose them to be his parents.

This sudden declaration of love left the couple stunned.

They never imagined that their two-year-old son would say so sincerely, "I will always love them."

They had always known that their children loved them, but Zhao Zhao was the only one who had ever looked them straight in the eye and said those words.

Besides, Zhao Zhao is still so young...

Yin Song suddenly felt a lump in her throat, looked up at the ceiling, and tried to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.

She hugged her little baby and gently kissed his forehead. "Daddy, Mommy, Brother, and Sister will always love you, baby."

Lu Wenyan also jumped onto the bed and leaned in, saying, "My sweet little baby, can Daddy give you a kiss too?"

Lu Yinzhao finally grinned and turned his head towards Lu Wenyan. The man quickly kissed his son's little face.

"Come here, Zhao Zhao, lie down next to Daddy, and Daddy will tell you an interesting story."

Next, Lu Wenyan began to dutifully tell her son bedtime stories.

Zhao Zhao was frightened today, so he needs to use other topics to distract the little guy and put him in a safe environment, otherwise the child might wake up in the middle of the night.

As he told the story, he gently patted the little one's bottom, soothing and comforting him with each pat.

Lu Yinzhao, who had been quite alert because of that crying, became sleepy again after being made drowsy by Lu Wenyan's magnetic voice. Her eyes drooped a few times and then closed completely.

Are you asleep?

"Let's go to sleep... Let's keep our voices down."

Looking at their youngest son's adorable sleeping face, the couple exchanged a knowing smile.

...

The next day.

Lu Yinzhao woke up without any dreams and stretched while lying in bed.

I slept so well last night, I felt like all my nerves were relaxed.

Upon waking up, Lu Yinzhao was full of energy.

While his parents were still sleeping, he climbed out of bed and went to the toilet by himself.

When she returned, Yin Song opened her eyes slightly, her voice still languid from just waking up, "Zhao Zhao is awake? Mommy got up to make you some formula."

"Mommy, no need, you go back to sleep, baby will go drink milk by himself."

Lu Yinzhao had seen Yin Song do it once before. He had a milk powder mixing machine at home. All he had to do was put the bottle there, fill it with water, add a few scoops of milk powder, and then put it on the machine and shake it well. It was completely clean.

Yin Song thought for a moment and did not immediately refuse, "Then you have to have your third brother watch over you, otherwise Mom will be worried."

“Okay, Mom.” Lu Yinzhao obediently replied, and then ran out with her two short legs.

After Lu Yinzhao left, she slapped Lu Wenyan, who was sleeping soundly next to her, awake.

"Ah! What's wrong, wife?" Lu Wenyan shuddered, startled awake, and looked at his wife's face, asking in confusion.

“Zhao Zhao went to make his own formula, wanting us to continue sleeping, so I let him go,” Yin Song said. “We secretly followed him to check on him.”

Although the 2-in-1 formula maker at home has a specially adjusted temperature, you can just use water at a constant temperature to make the formula without getting burned.

But for a toddler who is just over two years old, there are dangers everywhere in the house without adult supervision.

Lu Wenyan nodded, got out of bed with Yin Song, and followed quietly behind.

Lu Yuan got up very early because the production team was coming today.

Seeing Zhao Zhao arrive at the restaurant, Lu Yuan walked over and asked, "Zhao Zhao, are you hungry?"

“Mom said I can make the formula myself and have my third brother watch over me.”

"Okay, I'll be watching you. Do you know which key to press?"

"I know, baby remembers."

Lu Yuan thought to himself: That's true. Zhao Zhao can fix his computer, so making milk powder is a piece of cake for him.

Lu Yuan handed him the bottle, which Lu Yinzhao took steadily with both hands. He placed it under the water dispenser, pressed the middle button, and the water flowed out automatically, stopping once the appropriate amount was dispensed.

Then he used a small spoon to scoop a few spoonfuls of milk powder from the milk powder can into the baby bottle.

Put the bottle cap on and place the bottle directly onto the shaker. The machine will automatically start vibrating and shaking once it senses the vibration.

Lu Yinzhao couldn't help but marvel at how technological advancements had truly made their lives more convenient.

After the machine stopped completely, Lu Yinzhao smiled and showed the baby bottle to Lu Yuan.

"Third brother, it's ready." The little brat seemed to be showing off, his face practically begging for praise.

Lu Yuan said gently, "Zhao Zhao is really amazing, she can make her own formula now."

"Third brother, do you want some? I'll make you a cup too."

Children can drink it, and adults can drink it too. Plus, milk itself is very nutritious. Lu Yinzhao thought this was quite interesting, so he took the initiative to ask.

“If your brother doesn’t want to drink, you should drink your milk properly and grow tall.” Lu Yuan reached out and patted the little guy’s head. “But you can make a bottle for your fourth brother later.”

In a way, Lu Cheng is also a baby, a huge baby.

“Okay,” Lu Yinzhao said with a smile.

It seems that Zhao Zhao's emotions from last night have completely dissipated.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the little cub had recovered completely.

He glanced back casually and saw his parents hiding around the corner, and paused for a moment.

Yin Song gestured for him to be quiet, and Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

He guessed that his parents were worried about Zhaozhao, so they came to check on her.

As it turned out, Zhao Zhao was more reliable and capable than they had imagined.

Lu Yinzhao sat on the sofa and gulped down his breakfast. Thinking about making milk powder for his fourth brother, he became excited again.

Lu Yuan specially prepared a brand new, clean baby bottle for him.

Lu Yinzhao became addicted to playing with the milk maker. Without thinking twice, he would put the bottle in and quickly prepare a bottle of milk.

When I took it off, I hugged it and shook it a little.

"Should we pour it into Fourth Brother's cup?" Lu Yinzhao felt it was a bit strange to just take the baby bottle directly, so she asked.

Lu Yuan smirked mischievously, "No need, just put it directly to his mouth and feed it to him, your fourth brother will drink it."

Lu Yinzhao: "..."

The third brother's desire to see the fourth brother make a fool of himself was so obvious that Lu Yinzhao couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

But... he also wanted to tease his fourth brother, hahaha!

While Lu Cheng was still asleep, the little rascal had already sneaked into his room and quietly climbed onto the boy's bed.

Lu Cheng still sleeps the same way as always, liking to wrap himself up like a mountain.

Lu Yinzhao stepped forward and pulled back the boy's blanket. "Fourth brother, breakfast is ready. I made you some milk."

"Hmm...okay...wait a bit...I'll sleep a little longer, then—uh-uh!!!"

Lu Cheng responded subconsciously, but before he was fully awake, something soft was shoved into his mouth.

The overwhelming smell of milk hit him, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, some milk was inhaled, causing him to choke and cough violently.

"Cough cough cough! Zhao Zhao, you... cough cough, you little rascal!"

The little one quickly turned to look at the culprit, Lu Yuan, "Third brother, fourth brother choked on his milk, do we still need to feed him?"
