Since Zheng Wan's older sisters were all out volunteering, there was no one available at home, so Cheng Zhi took the child back to the space.
When Xiao Feiran and Huang Yiyi saw her appear carrying the child, Xiao Feiran dropped her cup on the ground, and Huang Yiyi was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth and spat out a mouthful of water.
After Cheng Zhi placed the child on the sofa, Xiao Feiran rushed over, grabbed Cheng Zhi's shoulders, and shook her violently. "Have you been possessed? You told me yesterday that you wouldn't raise him. What? You've forgotten the lessons of your past life just because you see a cute baby?!"
Caught off guard, Cheng Zhi felt like her brain had been shaken to its core by Xiao Feiran's shaking. It was only after Huang Yiyi stepped forward to stop Xiao Feiran that Cheng Zhi was able to get free.
Huang Yiyi pulled the agitated Xiao Feiran back, saying, "Cheng Zhi isn't that kind of person. She must have her reasons for doing things. Let her explain first, okay?"
Xiao Feiran took several deep breaths and gestured for him to proceed.
Cheng Zhi held her head. "First of all, let me clarify that I'm not possessed by a saint. I just feel that since this child was brought by Zhiyu, he might be able to stimulate Zhiyu. Maybe he's a switch that will make Zhiyu willing to talk when he sees him, or even make him better."
Once her head wasn't spinning anymore, Cheng Zhi even raised her hand, "We were terribly wronged in our past lives, I haven't forgotten, I will never do that again."
It turned out that it was because of treating Zhiyu's illness that Xiao Feiran saw Cheng Zhi, who was being shaken so badly, and helped her sit down, feeling a little embarrassed. "Really, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I wouldn't have shaken you like that..."
Cheng Zhi: "...Big sister, you didn't even give me a chance to explain!"
That seemed to be true. Xiao Feiran awkwardly waved her hand, skipping the topic, and then pointed to the baby on the sofa, "How long will he stay?"
Cheng Zhi replied, "In a week, after a week, I will send him back to the hospital or to an orphanage."
Xiao Feiran could accept this timeframe, and her nod was tantamount to agreement.
On the other side, Huang Yiyi had already squatted down by the sofa to observe the sleeping baby, shaking her head as she looked at him. "Don't they say babies are cute? This guy is all wrinkled, dark and red, and doesn't even have eyebrows. He doesn't fit the word 'cute' at all."
Cheng Zhi went to get a drink of water, while Xiao Feiran stayed behind to answer for her, "Babies who haven't fully grown in are all like this. They'll become pretty once they've grown in."
The topic had already shifted to the baby. Huang Yiyi turned to Cheng Zhi, who was drinking water in the dining room, and asked, "Now that we've brought the child back, someone definitely needs to take care of him. Who's going to take care of him? I have absolutely no idea how."
Cheng Zhi put down her water glass and shrugged. "Unfortunately, no one here knows how. Si Yu does know a little, but she can barely take care of her own sister right now, how could she possibly find the time to take care of another one?"
Huang Yiyi immediately panicked, "What should we do? He's still alive, what if we raise him to death?"
Xiao Feiran, standing to the side, was not in a hurry at all. She patted Chen Siyu on the shoulder and said, "Relax. Have you forgotten what we have? Xiaozhi can do everything."
Speaking of Ash, a new problem arises: "If Ash takes care of the children 24 hours a day, who will farm the fields and feed the chickens?"
Cheng Zhi shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this, "Wow, Huang Yiyi, what's wrong with you? You've been living a good life for so long that you've forgotten how things were before? Didn't we do all the work before? Xiao Zhi has only been here for a short time, and you've already forgotten the days when we planted vegetables and fed chickens together?"
Huang Yiyi, who was called upon, paused for a moment, then scratched her head sheepishly, "Yeah, we did it all before."
Cheng Zhi gently tapped her head. "It won't be long before the road ahead is unknown, so we all need to stay alert."
Hearing this, Xiao Feiran snapped her fingers in strong agreement, "You said it yourself, so you should remember it!"
Cheng Zhi raised her glass, "I'll find a tattoo artist to get it tattooed on my forehead another day."
"...You're exaggerating!"
So Xiaozhi became a temporary nanny, taking care of the child in front of the sofa.
Cheng Zhi and the others left the space and opened the cabinet door so they could detect anything immediately.
Before going to sleep, Cheng Zhi did a plank on the bed. Looking at the little bundle of flesh on the sofa, she said to Xiao Feiran next to her, "He hasn't cried much all day. He's completely different from the one in our past life."
Hearing Cheng Zhi speak to him, Xiao Feiran, who was resting with his eyes closed while wearing a face mask, opened his eyes. "It's normal. Every child is different. He's just the kind of child who makes his parents worry less and repays their kindness."
Two minutes later, Cheng Zhi was exhausted and collapsed onto the bed. "Do you think it will work?"
Xiao Feiran paused for a moment before realizing what Cheng Zhi was asking. She thought for a while and said, "Didn't people say that the one who tied the knot must untie it? Although this child wasn't the one who started it, he's still someone involved in the incident. My sister can't just not react at all when she sees him, can she?"
Although Xiao Feiran didn't say anything, her words reassured Cheng Zhi. She wriggled like a caterpillar and rested her head on Xiao Feiran's lap. "Let's pray for Zhiyu's recovery and for this child to grow up smoothly."
Xiao Feiran didn't speak, but gently stroked Cheng Zhi's soft hair. After a long while, he finally said, "I'm sorry about what happened during the day. I got angry at you because I didn't listen to you."
Xiao Feiran apologized for what happened during the day. Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhi immediately sat up and said, "Why are you apologizing all of a sudden? It was my sudden idea to bring the child here. I brought up some unpleasant memories for you. It's normal for you to react strongly. I understand."
