It should have been a very simple thing for Xu Tingchuan to sit up, but she didn't do it with such ease.

After fiddling with it for two minutes, still unsure if it was drinkable, I took a sip myself and, finding it acceptable, gave it to Tuantuan.

As soon as it was put into Tuantuan's mouth, Tuantuan frowned and burst into tears.

Ni Sitian was at a loss, not knowing what was wrong. She tried to comfort Tuantuan, but this time it wasn't so easy to soothe her.

Upon hearing Tuantuan crying loudly, Xu Jiayue immediately hung up the phone and quickly returned to the house.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" she asked anxiously. Seeing that Tuantuan's face was red from crying, she picked up the baby bottle next to her, touched it, and frowned: "It's so hot."

"I...I've tried." Ni Sitian's heart was in turmoil as Tuantuan cried, and her nose started to sting.

“Adults and children feel differently; this temperature is too hot for a child.” Xu Jiayue went to prepare another bottle of milk, her movements were practiced, and it was ready in no time. She then handed the handle to Tuantuan.

Tuantuan grabbed the cup handles with both hands, put the nipple in her mouth and sucked on it, which stopped her crying.

Ni Sitian's eyes reddened slightly. It was all her fault for being careless and causing Tuantuan to get burned. "Mommy is sorry, Tuantuan. Mommy won't do it again next time."

As if sensing her mother's guilt and self-reproach, Tuantuan loosened her grip on the cup handle and touched Ni Sitian's face with her little hand.

"It'll be cooked after soaking it a couple more times. The first time I soaked it, it was even worse than yours," Xu Jiayue comforted Ni Sitian.

Ni Sitian rubbed Tuantuan's little hand against him, staring at him. Only when she saw that he was eating to his heart's content did she feel relieved.

"Jiayue, thank you so much for taking care of Tuantuan these past few days." Ni Sitian looked up and sincerely thanked Xu Jiayue.

It seems like such a simple thing, but there are so many intricacies involved. It is truly remarkable that they took such good care of a child who was originally weak.

"I don't like hearing that. I'm Tuantuan's aunt, so it's my duty to take care of him." Xu Jiayue took the bottle away after Tuantuan finished drinking his milk.

Seeing that Tuantuan still seemed to have had enough to drink, Ni Sitian asked Jiayue in confusion why she wasn't making him any more drinks.

“Tuantuan will be eating dinner soon. If she eats too much now, she won’t want to eat the steamed egg custard later,” Xu Jiayue explained, adding, “Sometimes you shouldn’t satisfy all of a child’s requests; you have to consider the situation.”

Seeing how articulate Xu Jiayue was, Ni Sitian smiled and said, "It seems you can have a baby and become a mother right away without even needing to learn."

"We don't even know where the child's father is yet," Xu Jiayue joked, using a rattle to coax Xiao Tuantuan.

Xiao Tuantuan showed no interest in the rattle drum, watching it calmly, leaving Xu Jiayue feeling helpless and frustrated.

Ni Sitian handed him a small Rubik's Cube from the side and let him play with it. She then started talking to Jiayue, smiling meaningfully, "Was that Pei Yang who called just now?"

"Yeah, I never knew he was so annoying, making so many phone calls a day," Xu Jiayue complained, pouting.

Since telling her I liked her at the wedding the day before yesterday, I haven't openly confessed my feelings again, but I keep calling her, so I guess that counts as me pursuing her.

She couldn't tell he liked her at all before; he wouldn't call her for ten days or half a month at a time. But now he's so clingy. She couldn't believe that Pei Yang was pursuing girls like this.
