Chapter 10 The Baby is Very Smart
As Lu Xun was regaining consciousness, he reached out and touched the side.
When he touched empty space, his eyes snapped open.
Lu Xun: ? ? ?
Where's the kid?!
Lu Xun's first thought was whether Zhao Zhao would fall off the bed. Last night, he slept on the left side and Zhao Zhao slept on the right side, and the bed railing only covered the part of Zhao Zhao's side.
Even if Zhao Zhao sleeps in a haphazard way, it's impossible for her to leap from the right side to the left side and roll down in the middle of the night, right? There's a grown man in between her; he couldn't possibly not feel anything at all.
Lu Xun quickly sat up in bed and glanced around the bedside.
There was nothing there.
Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Whew... I was terrified.
That must be because his mother took Zhao Zhao out to breastfeed.
His door was unlocked, and his family could come in freely.
Lu Xun scratched his messy hair, still a little puzzled. Did he sleep very soundly last night?
He didn't even know someone had come in?
Lu Xun walked straight into the bathroom, intending to take care of his personal needs, but when he looked down, his pupils contracted slightly.
The missing child was sitting obediently on the children's toilet next to them.
Lu Yinzhao: "..."
That's awkward.
Originally, it was supposed to be a smaller one, but those who know, know; children, especially the smaller ones, are usually accompanied by the larger ones.
Anyway, it's early in the morning, so it's good to get it all sorted out at once.
Who knew that before the matter was even resolved, Lu Xun would walk in.
Lu Yinzhao gave an awkward but polite smile, tilted her head back, and smiled.
Good morning, brother!
Idol, I'm taking a dump, could you please leave for a moment?
Lu Yinzhao could never bring himself to say such a thing.
Compared to yesterday when he wet his pants, Lu Yinzhao no longer feels ashamed to go to the toilet normally.
Who didn't go through this when they were a child?
Lu Yinzhao is gradually becoming desensitized to this kind of thing.
Lu Xun, who was standing in front of him at that moment, was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
How come he doesn't remember that Yin Song had already potty trained Zhao Zhao? Didn't she pee in her diaper yesterday?
He actually woke up on his own today, without me having to wake him. He even got out of bed and went to the bathroom, where he took off his pants and went to the toilet.
Lu Xun was surprised by the qualitative leap from yesterday to today, not by the fact that the baby was using the toilet independently.
Because children over two years old should indeed gradually learn these things.
In addition, Zhao Zhao took the initiative to say good morning to him, and the child suddenly seemed as mature as an adult.
Lu Xun pondered that he could try to use a more mature way of communicating with Zhao Zhao in the future.
Based on the small details he observed over the past two days, Zhao Zhao is definitely a very smart child.
When Lu Yinzhao saw that his older brother not only didn't leave, but also squatted down on his own initiative, he couldn't help but clench his fingers tightly.
Are you suggesting I clean up his mess?
No~ no~
Lu Yinzhao could only speak first, "Brother, you go out first, I'll wipe my bottom myself."
Lu Xun: "!!!"
Lu Xun felt his shock had been refreshed once again.
It's probably because I've never heard Zhao Zhao speak such a complete and logically coherent long sentence before.
Lu Xun had no idea what had happened that night. Had his Zhaozhao suddenly become enlightened?
To respect the child's opinion, Lu Xun nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll bring all the tissues to you. If you can't handle it yourself, be sure to call me in later."
After Lu Xun finished speaking, he left the bathroom and politely closed the door.
Lu Yinzhao was relieved and began to clean herself up.
The Lu family's mansion truly lives up to its name; it has three floors, and each floor's bathroom is equipped with a children's toilet area—the kind that's directly connected to the sewage outlet, unlike the plastic gadgets on the market that require disassembly and cleaning.
This is clearly a design that was specially commissioned by a designer. After all, what household would have two toilets, one large and one small? It's only because the Lu family has a lot of money and a large house that they can do whatever they want.
This did indeed make it easier for Lu Yinzhao to solve his toilet problem. He didn't need any adult help; he could manage on his own. There was no need for manual cleaning either, since high-tech equipment could do it all by itself.
A beep sounded.
The moment Lu Yinzhao got off the children's toilet, the smart toilet flushed the water by itself.
In his previous life, he would never have had this experience.
He remembered that when he was in the orphanage, the earliest containers they used were spittoons.
Who would have thought that one day I would live the life of a rich young master?
Was it a reward from God for his hard work? If so, we should really thank Him.
Lu Yinzhao pulled up his pants and turned to leave.
However, when he saw four heads peeking out of the door, he was almost scared out of his wits.
From top to bottom, the names are Lu Xun, Lu Yuan, Lu Qi, and Yin Song, with only the fourth brother, Lu Cheng, still sleeping in, missing.
When the four people realized that the little one had discovered them, they quickly greeted him with smiles.
Yin Song: "Baby is so amazing! You went to the toilet by yourself today."
Lu Qi: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. I remember that idiot fourth son wet the bed when he was five years old, right? He was three years old and still needed his mother to help him pee. But look at our Zhao Zhao, he's so self-reliant!"
Lu Yuan: "It's great. I'm more confident about recording this program now."
Lu Xun: "Right? I wasn't lying to you guys, was I? I was most surprised when I woke up this morning. Zhao Zhao didn't bother me at all. She quietly got out of bed and went to the bathroom."
Lu Yinzhao: "..."
No, you guys...
Lu Yinzhao looked at his older brother with a resentful expression.
My idol, I told you to go outside and wait, not to bring your whole family to watch me go to the toilet!
He had just thought he had finally escaped the awkward situation, but then the other party pulled a big surprise on him.
Lu Yinzhao decided to turn off the filters on the male and female idols he had once admired for a few hours.
Do fans know that their idols look like this at home?
"What's wrong, baby? You seem a little unhappy?" Yin Song was the most perceptive and was the first to notice Zhao Zhao's emotional change.
Lu Yinzhao walked past them silently.
"Perhaps she's shy," Lu Qi guessed.
Lu Xun also noticed something and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've heard that children also have a sense of privacy during the development of their self-awareness. It doesn't seem right for us to all come and watch at once."
Lu Qi was a little surprised: "Big brother, you mean... Zhao Zhao has a sense of privacy at this age?"
Lu Yuan then looked directly at Yin Song: "Mom, is Zhao Zhao really only two years old?"
That's an even more outrageous question. How could they not know how old their own child is?
However, Yin Song understood what they meant. "I agree with what A Xun just said. I feel that Zhao Zhao is more mature than other children. He has always been very sensible and sometimes seems to be able to read people's expressions, like a little adult."
As Lu Yinzhao listened to the discussion behind him, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Will we be discovered?
The fact that an adult lives inside him...
Lu Yinzhao wondered if she should occasionally pretend to be a child more convincingly.
If it weren't for the special circumstances that morning, he wouldn't have communicated with his older brother in such a mature way.
If you put yourself in their shoes, this is indeed quite shocking.
But what if we do it the other way around? Would it be more effective?
For example, now that his family knows he's precocious, they won't be surprised if he says something mature in the future.
Don't ask, the answer is that the baby is very smart.
Lu Yinzhao felt that subtly changing his family's impression of him might be a good approach.
At least it will be easier to do many things in the future, and I won't always have to rely on adults.
After thinking it through, Lu Yinzhao felt a little more at ease.
My mood this morning was as thrilling as riding a roller coaster.
"Mom, I'm hungry." Lu Yinzhao looked up at Yin Song.
Being able to express oneself is an essential first step for a mature young person.
"Okay, Mom will go make you your favorite food." Yin Song glanced at the time; it was only 7:40.
At this time, let me drink a bottle of milk first, and then have some complementary food at 8:30.
The whole family gathered around their "little prince" as they went to the restaurant for breakfast.
When Lu Cheng got up around nine o'clock, everyone had already finished eating.
He also completely missed Zhao Zhao's historic moment that morning.
In Lu Cheng's heart, Zhao Zhao was that soft and cute little baby who needed to be looked after at all times, who was powerless and needed help from adults in everything.
And he's still that high-EQ kid who loves watching him play games.
After all, Lu Cheng would occasionally be scolded by the coach at the club, who would say he played terribly.
But at home, even Zhao Zhao acknowledges his skills, praising him and calling him a world champion.
Just thinking about Zhao Zhao's flattery made Lu Cheng feel good again.
"Zhao Zhao, how about Fourth Brother plays with you for a while?" Lu Cheng picked up the little one sitting on the playmat and whispered, "Let's go to the room to play, Fourth Brother will play games for you."
Lu Yinzhao's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded repeatedly.
Lu Qi asked, puzzled, "Can't we just play here? Why did you bring Zhao Zhao to your smelly room?"
"What stinky smell? I'm perfectly clean, okay? Besides, Aunt Chen cleaned this morning." Lu Cheng quickened her pace, carrying the baby. "I'm going to play with Zhao Zhao for a while, so don't knock on the door and disturb us!"
"What's that kid up to behind our backs again?" Lu Qi shook his head, too lazy to bother with it anymore.
"Let him go. I've never seen him so enthusiastic towards Zhao Zhao when you're not home. I guess it's because you kissed and hugged Zhao Zhao when you came back that he wanted to be with her," Yin Song analyzed.
Just like eating alone versus eating with a group of people, the experience will ultimately be quite different.
Food tastes better when everyone is eager to eat it.
Their house seems even more lively these days than during the Chinese New Year.
The Lu family's relatives are scattered all over the country, and some relatives still remain in Xingbei City. They don't usually visit each other casually, as everyone has their own things to do.
But it doesn't mean that the family ties are weak or the relationship is bad.
Everyone still has a good relationship and calls each other to say hello during holidays, but they don't get to see each other often.

“The weather has been nice these past few days. I was thinking of taking Zhao Zhao to visit my friend, your Aunt Wen’s family. You know them too. They’ve moved back from abroad and are planning to settle in Xingbei City. She invited me over a few days ago and said I should bring Zhao Zhao along.” Yin Song said this when all the children were around.
“Sure, it seems like Zhao Zhao hasn’t really left this villa area since she was born, has she?” Lu Qi said.
"Yes, I've only ever taken him for walks in our yard; we've never been to anyone else's house."
"Then, before Xiaoyuan records the show, you can take Zhaozhao out more often. I can be your driver," Lu Xun suggested.
“Okay, Ah Xun, you can come with me to visit your Aunt Wen. She used to hold you when you were little, she probably never imagined you would grow up so big.”
"Okay, you can set the time. I'm free these few days."
