"ah!"

Hungry!

My baby's hungry!

The little guy tossed his piping bag aside and stared intently at the fried chicken in Chi Yuan's pot.

The saliva secreted from my mouth was practically cascading down like a waterfall.

"Baby is lying to Daddy."

"Baby isn't hungry."

Shen Yulou touched the baby's round belly, then took the baby's hand and placed it on his own belly.

"The baby's belly is bulging, while Daddy's belly is flat."

"Dad hasn't eaten anything. Dad is the one who's hungry."

The baby looked down at his round belly and patted it with his hands.

is that so?

When the baby is hungry, the baby pats his tummy to ask for milk, and his tummy is round.

But why is Dad's tummy flat? Is it because Dad is hungrier than me?

With the aroma of fried chicken wafting through the air, Zaizai gave up on thinking about the question.

It's okay, Daddy's hungry. Daddy can eat a lot.

The baby is hungry, so the baby eats a lot.

The delicate gingerbread men were put into the oven, and the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside fried chicken was served on the table.

As the little boy watched his dads share fried chicken, all his drool ended up on the gingerbread man.

The little boy mistook the limp pancake in his hand for fried chicken in his father's mouth and licked it frantically.

"I feel so guilty."

Chi Yuan turned his head and saw the longing in Zai Zai's eyes, then took another big bite of the chicken leg.

Shen Yulou covered the baby's eyes and took a bite of the gingerbread man.

"That way it won't be sinful."

Chi Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

...

"Baby, tell Daddy what you want. Santa Claus is coming tonight."

"Once you pass this village, you can't make a wish anymore, baby."

Shen Yulou held the yawning baby, wanting him to tell her his wish before going to sleep.

"It's snowing."

Just as Chi Yuan was about to draw the curtains, he spotted the snow falling outside.

"Really?"

Shen Yulou hurriedly carried the baby to the window.

"If it were brighter, we could see things more clearly."

"Oh dear, didn't we say we were going to build a snowman? We forgot about it."

He suddenly remembered this incident and slapped Chi Yuan on the butt.

"I forgot too."

Chi Yuan covered his buttocks, quickly pulled the curtains shut, and then pounced on the bed.

"Sleep here, let me hold you."

He quickly burrowed into the covers and patted the pillow next to him.

"Little one, tell Daddy quickly, what do you want most?"

Shen Yulou sat cross-legged next to Chi Yuan, while the little one lay down eating his toes.

What do you want?

"We can't have deer, or we'll be mistaken for bad guys and captured by Uncle Hat."

"Uncle Hat is a special guy who catches bad guys."

"ah?"

The little one immediately put his feet down and stopped doing the gymnastics he was happily doing.

Uncle Hat has caught babies and dads.

Does that mean dads and kids become big bad guys?

But turning into a big bad guy means you can ride in a car!

Is that little one going to turn into a big bad guy?

The little guy's thoughts took a roundabout turn, shifting from what gift he wanted to whether he wanted to become a big bad guy.

"The little one must not turn into a big bad guy."

Shen Yulou promptly brought his son's thoughts back to the present.

"The little one can only be the dads' little rascal, not everyone's big rascal."

Okay, okay.

The baby kicked its feet, trying to roll over.

What does the baby want?

Chi Yuan placed his hand behind Zai Zai, giving him a helping hand.

"Ahh!"

Even the little one can't figure it out.

"Don't you want something sparkly, little one?"

Shen Yulou kissed his face.

The little one successfully rolled over and placed his chin on his father's pillow.

It feels like the baby has so many sparkly things.

But they are all shiny stones.

My baby wants something different that's sparkly.

"A different kind of sparkly?"

Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan exchanged a glance, finding the answer to this question rather difficult to come up with.

There are so many pearls, gold, gemstones, diamonds, and meteorite babies.

What other sparkly qualities are there?
