Chapter 9 Second Sister, you're so pretty!
"Xiao Cheng, bring me a bath towel." Lu Xun also realized that the bath had been going on for too long and that he needed to quickly take Zhao Zhao out.
The water's gotten a bit cold from playing with it; if we don't dry it off soon, it'll catch a cold.
"Big brother, here you go." Lu Cheng handed over a bath towel.
Lu Yinzhao didn't see clearly how the two of them did it, and in the blink of an eye, he was enveloped in something soft.
He was like the filling in a Swiss roll, completely wrapped up.
"Give it to me! Give it to me! Hug me now!" Lu Qi eagerly reached out from the side.
After his bath, the little one looked like a sweet and soft little cake, and Lu Qi's heart was completely melted by his cuteness.
"I'll go get the hairdryer." Lu Xun handed the baby to Lu Qi and then got up and went out.
"Fourth brother, look how wet you are, hurry up and change your clothes." Lu Qi wanted to get rid of the person who was in the way.
Lu Cheng could certainly see what his second sister was thinking, but he was really uncomfortable after getting wet. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back, glared at her irritably, and then left.
"Zhao Zhao, do you love water fights? How about I build you an inflatable swimming pool in the yard this summer? That way you can play in the water to your heart's content!"
Every word Lu Qi spoke was seducing Lu Yinzhao.
He nodded happily when he heard that he could play in the water.
People used to laugh at him for not having a childhood, for not having played many things, and for being old-fashioned and boring. Lu Yinzhao didn't care. He thought to himself, how interesting could other people's childhoods be? They just had parents, and he could live a good life on his own.
Now, he seems to have a better understanding of what it's like for a child to be surrounded by love during their childhood, which is probably what he is experiencing right now.
He has family members who chat and laugh with him, who are willing to make him happy, and who are willing to take time to entertain and play with him.
Lu Yinzhao felt that he had no way to repay him in this lifetime. At only two years old, he couldn't do much. The only thing he could do was provide emotional support.
If saying a few nice words can bring happiness to his family, he doesn't mind saying them every day.
"Second sister, you're so pretty." Lu Yinzhao thought to herself, girls probably all like to be complimented on their looks, but she wondered if it would seem strange if he suddenly said that.
"Thank you, baby. You're beautiful too." Lu Qi only hesitated for a second before replying immediately.
She knew she was beautiful from a young age.
Born into the Lu family, Lu Qi was the only girl among the younger generation and was pampered like a princess.
I've heard countless compliments since I was a child.
Later, she entered the entertainment industry and became an actress, which earned her even more fans.
After hearing it so many times, the initial sense of pride faded away.
But when she heard Zhao Zhao praise her for being beautiful, she felt an indescribable joy, a joy unlike any she had felt before.
Perhaps she subconsciously felt that Zhao Zhao, being a child, wouldn't lie.
Others' praise might be flattery or politeness, but when Zhao Zhao praises her, it must be genuine.
Lu Qi is now completely obsessed with Zhao Zhao's brain, and she really wants to wear the baby as a little pendant.
"I brought the hairdryer, Xiaoqi, do you... want to dry Zhaozhao's hair?" As soon as Lu Xun came in, he saw Lu Qi holding Zhaozhao with a look of great affection, and instinctively felt that the other party was unwilling to give up the child.
"I'd like to." Lu Qi's answer was exactly what he expected. "Big brother, you're all wet too, why don't you take a shower? I'll dry Zhao Zhao's hair and then put him to bed. You can leave him to me without worry."
"Alright then." Lu Xun thought about sleeping with Zhao Zhao tonight, so he didn't care about a few more minutes.
He grabbed a clean set of pajamas and went to the bathroom.
Lu Yinzhao lay in Lu Qi's arms, receiving the gentle caress of the breeze.
Lu Qi turned the fan to the lowest setting and patiently dried the little one's hair.
This massage-like service made Lu Yinzhao completely relax.
A warm breeze blows, my nerves relax, and drowsiness immediately sets in.
Just like pressing the power button, one second you're still conscious, the next second the power goes out.
Seeing that Zhao Zhao had fallen asleep in her arms, Lu Qi's movements became even gentler.
When Yin Song came in, he saw the harmonious scene between the siblings.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Asleep?"
"Hmm, I just fell asleep a little while ago." Seeing that her hair was dry, Lu Qi turned off the hairdryer, carefully unplugged it, and then rolled up the cord.
"You can take off the bath towel now. Can you help me change Zhao Zhao into her pajamas?" Yin Song brought not only pajamas but also diapers.
"Okay." Lu Qi slowly pulled the boy, who was wrapped in a bath towel, out of the water. "Won't he wake up like this?"
"Be gentle, it won't hurt. Zhao Zhao sleeps very well, she's never given me much to worry about."
“That’s right, he doesn’t wake up even after all this.” Lu Qi couldn’t resist and gently poked the little guy’s soft, smooth flesh, which was bouncy and tender.
"Don't go too far. Now that you guys are back, Zhao Zhao has really become your 'toy.' If you like children so much, why don't you all have one after you get married?" Yin Song joked.
"Mom, that's not right." Lu Qi waved her hand. "I like Zhao Zhao, not children. You want me to make a baby myself? I don't have the patience for that, and besides..."
"What else?" Yin Song's expression was playful.
"Moreover, I haven't met anyone in reality who could be the father of my future child."
Yin Song knew exactly what her daughter meant; she was telling her that none of them were good enough for her.
"Mom, don't use this topic to subtly pry into my gossip. My sister is a career woman, and I want to win some awards like my older brother. I don't have time to think about anything else."
"Do whatever you want, I won't interfere. I don't care whether you date or get married." Yin Song has a very open-minded view on what the future holds for his children.
They are all adults, capable of independent thinking and behavior, and she has always believed that they should take responsibility for their own affairs.
Her current task is to raise Zhaozhao.
I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, but having another baby makes my desire to spend time with the child even stronger.
In the past, after giving birth, she mostly left the care of a nanny. Not long after her postpartum period, she would go back to work in other cities, organizing her own concerts and releasing her own albums, keeping herself very busy.
She didn't spend much time with her eldest, second, and third children. It wasn't until her fourth child that she gradually shifted half of her focus to her family.
Now, with Zhao Zhao, she has devoted herself almost entirely to the project. She hasn't taken on any work in the past few years and has gradually faded from the public eye.
At first, she wasn't used to it, but gradually she was healed by Zhao Zhao's every smile and frown.
Yin Song has always had a great mindset. She has clear plans for what goals she has at each stage and what she wants to do. Now at 45, her skin is in incredibly good condition.
As a female celebrity, taking care of herself is her normal routine. If she were to walk down the street now, people would probably think she's only in her early 30s.
If you go shopping with Lu Qi, you'll be mistaken for her sister.
Lu Qi also has immense respect for her mother. Whether it's her determination to do something well or her dedication to the family, her mother is the most amazing.
Lu Yinzhao, fast asleep, was completely unaware that the two women beside him were having a heart-to-heart talk between mother and daughter right in front of him.
He slept very soundly, dreaming of water fights with his brothers.
"Zhao Zhao is really tired from playing today, he didn't even have time to drink his bedtime milk." After helping Zhao Zhao put on his pajamas, Yin Song covered him with his little blanket.
"Then let's wake Zhao Zhao up now, let him finish his milk and go back to sleep?" Lu Qi said, resting her chin on her hand.
Lu Xun, who had just come out of the restroom and heard this remark, was speechless.
Look at you, are you even speaking human language?
"It's okay. It's fine for a two-year-old to occasionally not drink milk before bed. They've started eating solid foods, and the amount of milk will gradually decrease later on."
Seeing that Lu Xun had finished washing up, Yin Song gave him a brief reminder: "Although Zhao Zhao sleeps relatively quietly, you should still put up the bed rails, just in case."
Lu Xun's bed is two meters wide, more than enough to sleep both a big and a small child.
But if Zhao Zhao really doesn't behave in the middle of the night, rolls around in her sleep, and falls off the bed, that would be bad.
"Okay, Mom, you should go and get some rest too. Goodnight."
"good evening."
Lu Xun installed a movable bed rail as requested by Yin Song, and also placed a large, long, candy-shaped pillow in the middle of the bed as a simple partition between him and Zhao Zhao to prevent him from rolling over onto the baby at night. Only after doing all this did he feel at ease to lie down.
The baby beside me had his eyes closed quietly, breathing slowly and rhythmically.
From the moment he fell asleep, this little guy didn't even change his position. So well-behaved!
They fall asleep instantly, without needing bedtime stories to lull them to sleep.
Lu Xun thought of how some of his senior colleagues in the crew who had children always complained to him that their children were disobedient, troublesome, and difficult to raise.
He developed a certain stereotype after hearing this, thinking that all children must be very naughty when they are young.
For details, please refer to his fourth son.
But now that he's home and has seen Zhaozhao, he's overturned his previous thoughts.
Who says there are no angel babies in this world?
For a moment, Lu Xun even had a slight urge to take Zhao Zhao to the film set and show her off to others.
Zhao Zhao is so cute, everyone will love her and want to hold her. No, we can't bring her along.
Lost in a jumble of fantasies, Lu Xun slowly drifted off to sleep, inhaling the unique scent of her baby.
...
The next day at 7:30.
Lu Yinzhao woke up on time.
He was in a good mood at the moment, and the reason was simple.
He didn't wet his pants pocket; he successfully controlled the urge to urinate.
He sat up and saw Lu Xun's perfect sleeping face right in front of him.
Even without makeup, my idol is so handsome, it's amazing.
This is a scene that so many female fans fantasize about, but he actually took advantage of her. Tsk tsk.
Lu Yinzhao glanced at the side of the bed closest to him, which was surrounded by the bed railing.
He then climbed to the other side and secretly got out of bed.
Hurry up and go to the toilet, otherwise they'll have to help you use the toilet again later.
After opening the lid of the children's toilet and sitting down, Lu Yinzhao felt completely at ease.
I finally got to be myself again. Today is a good day.
