Chapter 205 The Time of a Couple Taking Care of Their Child 2: Uncle, I'm not sleepy at all.
"This little guy is really strong."
Bian Ji hadn't even reacted yet, and had no idea when Zuo Zuo's hand had struck.
By the time he came to his senses, it was too late.
Lu Yinzhao had a vague feeling that things weren't going well; taking care of a child wasn't as simple as he had imagined.
Two hours later, lunch was served.
Because there were no high chairs at home, Lu Yinzhao put the twins in the stroller seats.
Xuanxuan sat obediently at the dining table, eating with her little spoon, and even helped her younger brothers next to her pick up food.
"Uncle, Uncle Bian, I'll watch your little brother for you. You two eat quickly."
Lu Yinzhao was deeply moved; their Xuanxuan was so sensible.
"Thank you, Xuanxuan. You can eat all of these dishes yourself. But the younger brothers are still too young. They have their own special complementary foods."
"Alright then, Uncle, I'll save some food for you," Xuanxuan said, her eyes crinkling like crescent moons.
Lu Yinzhao and Bian Ji were too busy to eat at this time.
First, we need to solve the problem of feeding these two little ones.
So each of them took a small bowl and squatted down next to Zuo Zuo and You You to feed them.
Lu Yinzhao blows on the spoon before feeding the little ones to prevent them from getting burned.
"Zuo Zuo, is this pumpkin puree delicious? Is it very sweet?" Lu Yinzhao asked with a smile.
Zuo Zuo ate with his mouth full of pumpkin puree, shaking his head happily.
Youyou was also very well-behaved, eating the food that Ji fed her spoonful by spoonful.
“He’s quietest when he’s eating,” Lu Yinzhao said to Bian Ji, pointing at Zuo Zuo.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Zuo started babbling incomprehensible baby talk again.
"Ara~ Hara~ Hoora~"
As soon as Zuo Zuo opened her mouth, the pumpkin puree in her mouth instantly flowed down and got on her bib.
Lu Yinzhao: "..."
"Zozo, didn't you swallow it?"
As Lu Yinzhao turned to get a tissue, she heard a gasp from Bian Ji's side.
"This is your brother's food, you can't."
Lu Yinzhao looked back, and everything went black.
Then Zuo Zuo stretched out his devilish claws again, grabbed the food from Bian Ji's bowl, and smeared it all over his and his brother's faces.
Still completely confused, Youyou subconsciously touched her forehead and remained silent for two seconds.
Upon seeing that it was food, it immediately smeared some on its face and started licking it.
Chaos ensued.
"Hey!" Lu Yinzhao exclaimed, "You two little rascals! Eat your food properly!"
Faced with Lu Yinzhao's scolding, the twin brothers were completely oblivious and just smiled foolishly at him.
Lu Yinzhao and Bian Ji hurriedly wiped the two brothers' faces.
"Never mind, let's finish feeding them first, then we'll take them for a bath later."
The meal was not as smooth as I had imagined.
An hour had passed by the time all the children were fed.
Lu Yinzhao and Bian Ji took turns eating lunch; while one of them looked after the child, the other would quickly eat during a break.
"Uncle, shouldn't we take a nap now?" Xuanxuan asked.
Lu Yinzhao's eyes lit up. "Yes! We really should take a nap. Children must have a good nap so they will be energetic in the afternoon."
Why didn't he think of that?
Wouldn't it be easier if you just put the kids to sleep?
Lu Yinzhao simply gave up their double room.
"Xuanxuan, the blanket is made up for you, you can sleep here."
"Okay, Uncle."
"Baby, you're so good."
Fortunately, Xuanxuan is already a big girl, sensible and obedient, and she can communicate well, which saves them a lot of worry.
Twins are much more difficult to deal with.
Bian Ji has already gone to prepare warm water for them. After all that commotion during dinner, the two brothers were covered in food scraps and needed to have all their clothes changed.
As soon as Lu Yinzhao laid Zuo Zuo down on the bed, Youyou next to her started crawling to the other side of the bed.
"Hey! Youyou, don't run away! Your uncle is going to take off your clothes!"
Lu Yinzhao quickly "intercepted" Youyou, shouting, "Bian Ji! Are you done yet? Hurry up, I can't keep an eye on you by myself!"
Upon hearing the sound, Bian Ji immediately took over the care of another child.
Lu Yinzhao had just pulled off Zuo Zuo's diaper when...
"What's wrong?"
"Bian Ji, he pooped, he pooped a lot."
"..."
"No wonder I felt something was off about Zuo Zuo's smell. I'll have to give him a good wash later!"
Bian Ji was also helping Youyou take off her clothes, the same actions, the same silence.
Lu Yinzhao glanced over and asked, "Youyou had diarrhea too?"
Bian Ji: "Mm."
Lu Yinzhao gave an awkward smile, "Kids are like that, they can't control themselves."
Bian Ji recalled, "Our Zhao Zhao is amazing. She could go to the toilet by herself when she was just over two years old."
Lu Yinzhao blushed even more. He was an adult in the guise of a two-year-old! How could he compare to a real baby?
In the bathroom.
A bunch of toys, including little yellow ducks and small balls, floated in the baby bathtub.
There were also baby bath washes specially prepared for the baby in the corner, which were naturally brought by Lu Qi.
As soon as Lu Yinzhao reached out to hug Zuo Zuo, the little guy clapped his hands excitedly, as if he knew it was time for a bath.
He kept shouting, "Water! Water!"
"He can actually pronounce this word so clearly?" Lu Yinzhao exclaimed in surprise.
"Looks like you, I enjoy being in the water," Bian Ji said with a smile.
Zuo Zuo struggled and lunged toward the bathtub.
On the other hand, Youyou was held in Bian Ji's arms, her little hands tightly gripping Bian Ji's collar.
Its large eyes were fixed warily on the water's surface, and the corners of its mouth were already turning down.
"Don't be afraid, Youyou, we're just giving you a nice bath," Lu Yinzhao said, patting the little guy's head reassuringly.
Bian Ji bent down and tentatively put Youyou's toes into the water.
As soon as the warm water touched her skin, Youyou burst into tears.
Lu Yinzhao: "!!!"
Bian Ji: "It seems this person doesn't like water..."
"I didn't expect Youyou to react so strongly." Lu Yinzhao was a little startled.
The crying had barely started when Lu Yinzhao had already put Zuo Zuo into the bathtub.
The little guy instantly transformed into a "water splashing master," wildly splashing his little hands in the water, and the splashes directly hit Lu Yinzhao's face.
"Zuo Zuo!" Lu Yinzhao wiped the water off his face, and held Zuo Zuo's hand with a wry smile. "Be good, don't splash water, or your little uncle will be soaked to the bone."
But Zuo Zuo wouldn't listen; instead, she found it amusing and splashed around even more enthusiastically.
He was also humming a tuneless song.
He slapped the little duck toy until it spun around in the water.
Just as Lu Yinzhao picked up the shower gel to lather it up for him, he suddenly grabbed the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and poured it over his own head.
"!!!" Lu Yinzhao was shocked again.
Shower gel was running down the baby's hair, covering his face and making it impossible for him to open his eyes.
"My goodness!" Lu Yinzhao quickly snatched the shower gel and rinsed his eyes with water. "Don't pour it on his head, it'll sting your eyes!"
Zuo Zuo squinted as the water washed over her, but she still giggled.
Her little hands were still splashing in the water, soaking most of Lu Yinzhao's clothes, with water dripping down her collar.
On the other side, Bian Ji was still "outwitting" Youyou.
He held Youyou, who was crying incessantly, and tried to distract him with a toy duck.
"Look, the little duck is swimming in the water. Shall we play with it?"
Youyou wouldn't listen at all. She cried until her face turned red and she clung tightly to Bian Ji's arm, refusing to get into the bathtub.
Bian Ji had no choice but to hold him in her arms and gently wipe his body with a towel dampened with warm water.
She was humming a gentle nursery rhyme, the same tune she used to lull Lu Yinzhao to sleep back then.
Perhaps the singing had an effect, because Youyou's crying gradually subsided.
She was still sobbing, her big, wet eyes looking at Bian Ji.
How are things going on your end?
Bian Ji looked up and saw that Lu Yinzhao was soaked to the bone with foam still clinging to his hair. She couldn't help but laugh, "Our great photographer Lu, what happened to you?"
"And you're one to talk!" Lu Yinzhao wiped the foam off her face. "Didn't your little crybaby give you a hard time too?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Zuo Zuo suddenly reached out and grabbed Youyou's little foot. Youyou was startled, and the crying that had just stopped burst out again.
Zuo Zuo found it amusing, grabbing her toes and swinging them back and forth, laughing so hard that drool was coming out of her mouth.
"Zuo Zuo!" Lu Yinzhao quickly pulled his hand away. "Don't bully your younger brother!"
Bian Ji sighed helplessly, patting Youyou's back to comfort him, and said to Lu Yinzhao, "How about we switch? I'll take care of the older brother, and you comfort the younger brother."
However... even after the shift change, the scene remained chaotic.
The bathroom was wet.
The two little ones were crying and laughing.
Lu Yinzhao and Bian Ji were soaking wet, with foam clinging to their hair, looking as if they had just been pulled out of the water.
After finally giving the twins a bath, I wrapped them in thick bath towels.
Lu Yinzhao and Bian Ji slumped on the carpet at the bathroom door, looking at each other's disheveled state and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I feel like I've fought a battle; this is much more tiring than going out to shoot."
"It's much more tiring than holding a concert."
At this moment, the twins in her arms were so tired that they were yawning.
Zuo Zuo leaned against Lu Yinzhao's chest, still muttering something.
Youyou nestled against Bian Ji's shoulder, her little hands gently gripping his collar, her breathing gradually becoming steady.
"Finally, she's asleep." Lu Yinzhao breathed a sigh of relief.
The couple placed the twins next to Xuanxuan, and the three children slept on a large bed, creating a particularly heartwarming scene.
"Why don't you lie down and rest for a bit?" Bian Ji said to Lu Yinzhao.
"Okay, I'm really tired." Lu Yinzhao lay down next to the twins. "Aren't you going to sleep? You can lie down next to Xuanxuan."
"No need, you guys rest, I'll just sit here and listen to some music."
"Okay, remember to wake me up on time. Remember, just wake me up. If the children want to sleep, let them sleep. Don't wake them up."
Lu Yinzhao didn't want to wake up and face the "Demon Pill" again.
She looks even cuter sleeping like this now.
Bian Ji looked at the scene of one adult and three children in front of him and felt an endless warmth rise in his heart.
He couldn't help but take out his phone and snap a picture of the scene.
The three kids didn't wake up until evening.
Lu Yinzhao's original intention was that once the children were asleep, he could have some peace and quiet.
However... the kids, now fully charged, have even more energy than during the day.
After dinner, there were various activities to keep us entertained.
When it was time to sleep at night, they stubbornly kept their eyes open and refused to close them.
"Uncle, I'm not sleepy at all," Xuanxuan said.
“Da da da! Chirp chirp!” Sasa said.
"..." Youyou just stared at Lu Yinzhao with her eyes open.
And so this night had only just begun.
...
The next day.
Lu Yinzhao opened the door with heavy dark circles under her eyes.
Lu Xun and Lu Qi, who were standing at the door, were both stunned.
"Zhaozhao, your dark circles are just too much..."
"Are the kids too noisy?"
Bian Ji came out of the kitchen carrying two cups of coffee, the dark circles under his eyes impossible to hide.
"The children are still asleep; they went to bed very late last night."
Lu Xun took out two exquisite gift boxes from his bag and handed them to Lu Yinzhao.
"Thank you for your hard work. This is a thank you gift from your second sister and me for taking care of the baby. The one for you is a limited edition lens cleaning kit. You said last time that your kit was almost used up. The one for Xiao Ji is a handmade guitar pick with the initials of both of your names engraved on it."
Lu Yinzhao accepted the gift box, feeling a warmth in his heart.
He forced a tired smile. “It wasn’t hard work. They were very… energetic, more impressive than a day of shooting on location.”
Bian Ji chimed in, "Such an experience is quite unforgettable."
After Lu Xun and Lu Qi took the sleeping children away, the house returned to its usual tranquility.
Lu Yinzhao was too lazy to eat breakfast and collapsed onto her big bed.
"Brother, come here quickly! Hurry up and catch up on your sleep!"
Bian Ji leaned over and pulled the person into his arms, "You're here."
The man suddenly kissed Lu Yinzhao's neck.
"What are you doing?!"
"The early bird catches the worm; let me help you fall asleep."
"!!!"
I'm already so sleepy! I don't need your "sleep aid" at all!
Lu Yinzhao spent the rest of the holiday in bed as usual.
