Hearing this, Yun Suni felt even more apologetic towards Gu Rongqi.
Cheng Qicai, who had been "flying" with her child in her arms, landed back in front of them.
She didn't notice the atmosphere between the three of them. She plopped down next to Gu Rongqi and looked at him, asking, "Do you want to hug Yuanyuan?"
Looking at the soft baby in Cheng Qicai's arms, Gu Rongqi fell silent, a rare occurrence.
Seeing this, Lu Qi joked, "Haha, Qi Cai, Gu Rongqi probably has never held a child before. Asking him to do this is probably putting him in a difficult position."
“You’re laughing at others,” Yun Suni glanced at Lu Qi and mercilessly exposed his shortcomings to them, “You don’t know that when your brother Lu first held Yuanyuan, his hands were shaking so much that he almost dropped her to the ground.”
Cheng Qicai didn't know this, so her curious gaze fell on Lu Qi's face.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Lu Qi coughed lightly.
Gu Rongqi chuckled silently, looked away from the baby, and extended his hand toward Cheng Qicai. "Okay."
Cheng Qicai was taken aback, then handed Lu Yiyuan, whom she was holding, to Gu Rongqi, saying, "You support his head with this hand, and his bottom with this hand..."
As she spoke, she helped Gu Rongqi adjust his movements.
Gu Rongqi felt the soft, delicate flesh in his arms and Lu Yiyuan kicking his legs powerfully, and for a moment he was at a loss.
"Hey, don't be so tense, relax." Cheng Qicai felt his muscles suddenly harden as a reminder, "Just hold him like this and rock him gently, you'll get used to it in a bit."
Following Cheng Qicai's instructions, Gu Rongqi stiffly wiggled his arm a few times.
This time, Lu Qi scoffed lightly, looking extremely disdainful. But he was met with a glare from Yun Su Ni.
Cheng Qicai picked up a toy from the table and waved it above Lu Yiyuan, "Yuanyuan, look at the little crab..."
Lu Yiyuan stretched his little hand upwards, trying to reach the toy in Cheng Qicai's hand.
The atmosphere among them was warm and friendly when Yun Suni received a phone call. Suddenly, she looked apologetic and said to Cheng Qicai, "I'm sorry, Qicai, there's a problem with the project I'm in charge of. I need to go to the company. You guys wait here for a bit and keep an eye on Yuanyuan. I should be back soon."
Lu Qi also stood up, "I'll take you there."
Then his gaze fell on Cheng Qicai.
Cheng Qicai was taken aback for a moment, and the supervisor immediately replied, "It's okay, sister, you guys go ahead, we'll stay here and play with Yuanyuan for a while."
Yun Su Ni and her family live not far from their company, so it is very convenient for them to go to the company, and it doesn't take much time.
Cheng Qicai didn't mind making them wait there, since she had taken care of Lu Yiyuan alone many times before.
"Then I'll trouble you, Qicai." Yun Suni stood at the door and said to her.
"It's nothing, I'm just playing with Yuanyuan, what's the trouble? The main work is still done by Aunt Li and the others," Cheng Qicai said with a smile.
Watching the two leave, Cheng Qicai turned her gaze back to Gu Rongqi, who was holding the child.
Seeing Gu Rongqi's unusually clumsy appearance, she smiled and asked, "How does it feel to hold a baby?"
Gu Rongqi truthfully described his feelings: "I was a little scared, and a little powerless, afraid of hurting him."
"At least he's better than Brother Lu, right? His hands didn't shake, and he almost dropped him." Cheng Qicai only dared to tease Lu Qi after he left.
Gu Rongqi smiled upon hearing Cheng Qicai's comparison.
Lu Yiyuan felt like no one had paid attention to him for a long time, and began to squirm restlessly in Gu Rongqi's arms.
When the two looked over, they discovered that Lu Yiyuan was pulling on Gu Rongqi's clothes and biting them repeatedly.
Because Gu Rongqi was wearing a loose-fitting gray-blue shirt jacket, neither of them noticed when he was being nibbled on.
Seeing the large puddle of saliva on Gu Rongqi's abdomen, Cheng Qicai couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, he drew a map on your clothes with his saliva..."
Gu Rongqi frowned and pulled his clothes out of Lu Yiyuan's mouth, but the next second, Lu Yiyuan burst into tears.
"Quick, hold him and comfort him, just like I taught you, rock him." Cheng Qicai watched the fun from the side while laughing and teaching him.
Gu Rong hurriedly stood up and, imitating Cheng Qicai, coaxed Lu Yiyuan, "Alright, Yuanyuan, don't cry..."
Cheng Qicai felt her heart soften when she saw how gently and patiently he coaxed the child.
Gu Rongqi finally managed to appease Lu Yiyuan, but then he frowned and said to Cheng Qicai, "Why do I smell something awful..."
Cheng Qicai's nose twitched twice; she too had smelled something.
She jumped to her feet, exclaiming, "Oh no! He didn't poop, did he...?"
"What...?!" Gu Rongqi asked stiffly, his jaw clenched tightly.
"Hold him for a while, I'll go get some diapers." Cheng Qicai hurriedly walked into the room, not noticing his unusual behavior.
Gu Rongqi looked at Lu Yiyuan, who had tears in his eyes, in his arms, held his breath and closed his eyes, but dared not exert any force with his hands.
When Cheng Qicai came out, she saw that his face was pale. She felt a little amused and a little sorry for him.
She momentarily forgot that Gu Rongqi was somewhat of a germaphobe, and she could imagine his breakdown after what he did.
"Let me do it!" She took Lu Yiyuan from Gu Rongqi's hands and then shouted, "Aunt Li, can you come out and help? Yuanyuan has pooped."
A little while later, Aunt Li came out of the room and carried Lu Yiyuan to his room to change his diaper.
She looked at the silent Gu Rongqi and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Gu Rongqi shook his head.
Cheng Qicai looked at his clothes, which were wet with saliva, and said, "Take off your clothes, and I'll put them in the washing machine to wash them and then dry them. You'll be able to wear them soon."
Gu Rongqi looked at the dark patch on his clothes, and his brows furrowed even more deeply.
He took off his clothes. "I'll put them away."
"It's nothing, just putting some clothes in the washing machine." Cheng Qicai took his clothes and put them in the washing machine.
When she came out, she saw that his complexion had improved and he seemed much better.
Cheng Qicai walked over to him and handed him the water. "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing, it's just... a bit of an accident," Gu Rongqi said tactfully.
Cheng Qicai mocked mercilessly, "Haha, I can see that now. You'll probably be just as good at taking care of the kids as Brother Lu in the future."
They're all afraid of children!
"No." This time, Gu Rongqi denied it firmly.
Cheng Qicai was taken aback. Looking at his serious expression, after what happened later, she knew that if Gu Rongqi denied it with such certainty, then he must be serious.
For example, he didn't know how to take photos or cook before, but...
Cheng Qicai pursed her lips, but still didn't continue the topic.
After waiting for Lu Yiyuan to come out, Cheng Qicai put him in the cradle to avoid any more mishaps while holding him.
After Yun Suni and the others returned, they had a meal together, and then Cheng Qicai and Gu Rongqi went back.
