Chapter 31: Want to have a baby? Name your price.
Perhaps because there was a soft little baby sleeping in the room, Lu Qi was also sleepy very early today.
After editing the video and uploading it to my account, I turned off the lamp and went to sleep.
Little did she know that while she was asleep, the number of red hearts and stars on her phone's backend was skyrocketing, the comment section was bustling with activity, and the number of followers had jumped from zero to over eight hundred.
Most of the onlookers were just passersby and wouldn't pay special attention, but that didn't stop them from finding the baby eating in the video adorable.
Same world, different kids. My unfilial son is three years old and still can't feed himself!
My child is two years old, but is a picky eater and absolutely refuses to eat vegetables!
This baby is so cute eating! I'm melting from cuteness!
[And this baby is so good at talking! She even knows to tell her dad he's worked hard.]
Why isn't this angelic baby mine?! Jealousy is making me unrecognizable!
[I hereby declare this my electronic companion for watching while eating from now on.]
My concern is... he ate every single grain of rice on his plate, and he didn't make a mess of the table while eating. Is this really a two-year-old?
[This little mouth is so cute; it can eat and talk.]
I couldn't tell from the video whether it was a boy or a girl; the description only said "two-year-old baby."
[I'm guessing it's a little girl. Those cherry-like lips are so delicate, haha! And her little finger is even sticking up! So cute!]
...
Besides praising its cuteness, a lot of people were asking about the price.
[Where did you buy this plate? It's so pretty, could you please share the link?]
How much does a baby chair cost? I'd like to buy the same one.
Which children's clothing store did you buy this outfit for your baby from?
[Why doesn't the blogger just release a compilation of good finds? The items in the video all seem to be of pretty good quality.]
Forget it, the items this family buys are beyond the reach of ordinary people. I just checked, and I've given up.
Are you selling kittens? Name your price. (Smiling face emoji)
The next morning, Lu Qi woke up and stretched.
I reached for my phone while yawning and saw three 99+ comments on Xiaochengshu's backend. I almost thought I was being cyberbullied.
Lu Qi's thoughts returned to her, recalling the video she had posted before bed, and she mentally prepared herself.
After all, there are all kinds of people on the internet. She herself has been through a phase of being attacked online. She doesn't care much when others insult her, but she is very sensitive to insults directed at her little baby!
She'll beat that guy to a pulp!
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Lu Qi opened the video notes.
She glanced at the comments section and was utterly astonished.
At first, the comments section was normal, with everyone praising her cuteness. But then why did everyone start asking her "whether she'll have a baby"?
Huh? Are you guys being polite?
To answer some people's questions, Lu Qi simply pinned a long comment to the top.
1. Thank you everyone for your love for Sun Baby! The baby is a boy! (heart emoji) 2. For product recommendations, please see the next post (links and prices will be provided) 3. No more babies! No more babies! No more babies! No more babies! No more babies! This is mine! (hands on hips emoji)
After doing all this, Lu Qi sent the link to the video notes to the family group chat.
[Lu Qi]: This is the level of popularity Zhao Zhao enjoys. [GIF of a little penguin spinning around.]
[Lu Yuan]: This upward trend is quite encouraging.
[Lu Cheng]: Ugh! While I was out, you secretly filmed Zhao Zhao! I told you I was going to film it myself! [Angry emoji]
[Lu Qi]: No, do you all get up this early?
[Lu Xun]: Silently gave Zhao Zhao a little red heart, then went back to work. [Waves GIF]
[Yin Song]: Xiao Qi, is Zhao Zhao awake?
[Lu Cheng]: What?! Why is Zhao Zhao sleeping with her?! [Angry emoji]
[Lu Qi]: Probably not yet.
After typing this sentence, Lu Qi turned her head to look and paused.
The little one was sitting in his little bed, looking bewildered.
He had probably just woken up, his mind still wandering, with a few stray hairs sticking up on his head.
Lu Qi threw down her phone and rushed over, pulling the baby onto her big bed for kisses and hugs.
"My little darling is awake! Good morning, Zhao Zhao! Mua~"
Lu Yinzhao snapped out of her daze, scratched her head, and said, "Good morning, Second Sister."
"Zhaozhao, do you know how much all the aunties love you? They all say you're adorable when you eat!" Lu Qi rubbed the little guy's face.
Lu Yinzhao pouted as her older sister squeezed her hand, her big eyes blinking rapidly.
What? The video has already been sent out?
Judging from Lu Qi's words, it seems the buzz is pretty good.
Then he'll have to keep working hard!
"Sister, let's continue taking pictures of the baby today, the baby has to go to work." Lu Yinzhao clenched her fists, full of energy.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Qi was amused by the baby, laughing until tears streamed down her face. "Okay, let's continue today!"
Lu Qi got up to find Lu Yinzhao the clothes she would wear for her appearance today.
She saw many people asking about baby clothes, and maybe she could even promote her senior's company.
Originally, this account was created to fulfill Zhaozhao's wish to post videos for sharing purposes, but now that things have turned out...
Who knows, Zhao Zhao might actually be able to earn money for baby formula on her own.
What an amazing baby!
Lu Qi took a blue and white striped long-sleeved shirt and a pair of dark blue overalls. She then went to the drawer and found a hair clip that she hadn't used before. The hair clip had a yellow smiley face on it, which she clipped directly onto the belt of the overalls.
After changing his clothes, the little one set off full of energy.
This time, it was only under her older sister's supervision that she dared to climb onto the baby chair and sit down steadily.
The little guy held a small fork in his left hand and a small spoon in his right, and gently tapped his hands on the table.
"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!" Lu Yinzhao shouted.
Today is another beautiful day!
Lu Wenyan used the bone broth she made last night to cook noodles today, and also added a poached egg to it.
After the noodles were served, Lu Yinzhao was almost intoxicated by the aroma.
"It smells so good!"
Lu Qi reminded him, "Be careful, it'll burn you. Remember to blow on it."
Lu Yinzhao made the most of the tableware in his hands, using a small spoon to drink soup and a small fork to eat noodles.
He sucked the noodles in one strand at a time with his little mouth.
Lu Qi glanced at the camera; the angle was just right, still obscuring the upper half of Zhao Zhao's face.
Lu Qi plans to compile a video of Zhao Zhao's meals today, so that everyone can see more clearly what Zhao Zhao ate throughout the day.
"Zhaozhao, your Aunt Wen asked if you want to go play with your brother today?" Yin Song asked.
"Go ahead!" Lu Yinzhao hadn't petted a cat in a while and missed the big boss's little orange cat.
"Okay, let's bring some homemade things as a return gift this time too."
Yin Song packed a large box of braised pork ribs into a tote bag. They were all made by Lu Wenyan and tasted very good. She wanted to bring them to Wen Su and her son so they could try them too.
This task naturally fell to the young envoy, Zhao Zhao.
"Mom, I promise I'll complete the mission!"
The little boy, carrying a lunchbox bag that didn't seem to fit him properly, saluted his mother.
That little face is just so incredibly cute.
Yin Song waved to Zhao Zhao, "Bye-bye, baby!"
Lu Qi followed behind him, saying, "I'll take Zhao Zhao there."
"Zhaozhao, I'll come pick you up when it's time to eat. We have a mission today, so we can't go to Aunt Wen's house for a free meal."
"I understand, Second Sister." Lu Yinzhao always remembered that he had to go to work.
...
However, when he arrived at Bian Ji's house, Wen Su tempted him with a table full of snacks and delicacies, and Lu Yinzhao still couldn't help but swallow hard a few times.
Eating just a small piece of pudding... probably won't fill me up, right?
After finishing a small pudding, Wen Su brought over a large plate a short while later.
"Zhaozhao, here's an egg tart that Auntie just baked. It's the perfect time to eat it, crispy and bouncy." Wen Su handed one of the tarts to Lu Yinzhao.
Lu Yinzhao held the warm egg tarts in both hands, somewhat at a loss.
If I eat this again, will I not be able to eat lunch?
Aunt Wen offered it to him so warmly, but he refused to eat it. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?
"Eat whatever you want, it's all yours." Bian Ji, who was sitting to the side, thought that Lu Yinzhao was a little embarrassed to eat, so he pushed the whole plate over to her.
Lu Yinzhao: "..."
Dude, you're tempting people to gain weight!
Five seconds later.
With a slurp of his lips, Lu Yinzhao felt his taste buds throbbing. In that instant, he was the happiest man in the world!
"Is it delicious? Auntie didn't lie to you, did she?" Wen Su was happy to see Lu Yinzhao eating. As someone who loves baking, she gained a great sense of accomplishment from feeding Lu Yinzhao.
After finishing that egg tart, Lu Yinzhao swore he really couldn't eat any more.
He quickly made an excuse to slip away, "Brother Aji, I want to play with the cat for a while."
This time, Bian Ji actually took the initiative to hold Lu Yinzhao's hand, whereas before it was always the little guy who held his hand.
"It should be eating in the cat room. I'll take you to see it."
"Um!"
Lu Yinzhao was led over like that. He had a feeling that something was different about the big boss, but he didn't think about it too much and just followed him silently.
As soon as Xiu Xiu heard footsteps, she suddenly raised her head from the bowl and twitched her ears.
Smelling the familiar scent, she dashed over.
After the two entered, the little orange cat rubbed against Bian Ji's legs and then revealed its white-fuzzy belly in front of them.
Lu Yinzhao squatted down and touched the kitten's belly. "It feels so good."
The orange cat had a blissful expression on its face, lazily waving its pink paws twice.
"Brother, come and pet it too." Lu Yinzhao invited Bian Ji to pet the cat together.
"No." I'm constantly being rubbed against by this fluffy little thing, and I have absolutely no interest in petting it.
What's the point of petting a cat? You might as well pet a baby instead.
Bian Ji looked at Lu Yinzhao's jet-black, shiny hair and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
Lu Yinzhao pouted, "Okay then."
I was wondering if the boss had changed in some way, but it seems he's still the same as before.
Xiu Xiu lay on the ground, meowing contentedly.
Lu Yinzhao smiled again, revealing her small white teeth.
“My mom found a school for me, and I’ve already completed the enrollment procedures,” Bian Ji said abruptly.
Lu Yinzhao paused in stroking the cat.
"Lu Yinzhao, I'm going to school tomorrow, so I won't be able to play with you during the day anymore."
After Bian Ji finished speaking, the little cub who had been grinning from ear to ear just a moment ago suddenly put on a sullen, cat-like face.
An indescribable emotion spread endlessly in Lu Yinzhao's heart.
But he couldn't say anything. The big shot was still a primary school student. Bian Ji had rested for a while after returning to China, and Bian Ji would eventually have to go back to school.
"Brother Aji, you must study hard and make progress every day."
Lu Yinzhao forced a smile through her tears.

Author's Note: Bian Ji: Little cookies, here! Little pudding, here! Little egg tart, here! Little cake, here! Here you go, here you go, all of it! It's all yours! (Frantically feeding them) [pats head]
There's a kind of hunger that only your brother can make you feel hungry. [Glasses]
