Chapter 164: Brainwashing Successful?
"The deer are calling, eating apples in the wild!" Si Shuo added with a chuckle.
As if they heard their own names, the cubs uttered two clear and tender "yo" sounds in their childish voices.
Si Shuo thought it was quite amusing and leaned against Xu Chi to stick his head out.
The cubs were already in the arms of Gong You and Ji Liang, and they both chuckled and held them up to show her.
The two little guys haven't opened their eyes yet. Their hands are clenched into fists and put to their mouths to absorb water. They are probably very hungry, their brows are furrowed and their mouths are pursed, as if they are going to cry in the next second.
Si Shuo smiled and poked the male cub's antlers, "Your name is Xuye," she then touched the female cub's cheek, "Xuyo, Xiaoyouyo!"
The two little guys paused in sucking their hands, then buried their heads in chewing their hooves seriously.
"Yoyo, Xuyo!"
The female cub's delicate brows knitted together and she hummed, "Yo Yo!"
And with a hint of impatience? Si Shuo was stunned for a moment, then she climbed onto Xu Chi's shoulders and laughed uncontrollably.
Instead, Ji Liang called out with great interest: "Sunno?"
The male cub, who was wrapping his fist and enjoying the fragrance, said "Oh..." in response and continued to nibble on his hoof.
Yi Mei looked at the newly appointed parents teasing the little ones and said with a smile, "They are hungry. If you don't give them food, they will cry."
Xiao Cheng took out the things Si Shuo had prepared long ago. Everyone had done it before, so he first used a glass bottle to pour 30 ml of warm water for the two little ones.
He touched the male cub's cheek lightly with the tip of the bottle. The little guy was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes and turned his head to look for it eagerly. When he found it, he gulped it down.
The female cub heard the sound and urged in a baby voice: "Yo Yo..."
Xiao Cheng quickly pushed another bottle over.
After they drank water, Gong You prepared milk powder for them. After they had eaten and drunk their fill and had their diapers changed, the two little ones fell asleep contentedly and comfortably.
Looking at the peaceful appearance of the two little creatures, all the beastmen present felt extremely soft-hearted. These were the cubs born by the female, they were members of the family, and they were their responsibility!
Having taken root in Guangshou City, they are full of energy and have to work harder as their children will arrive one after another in the future.
"A Shuo, you should get some sleep too. I'll stay by your side and change the cub's diaper and feed him. I'll do that," Xu Chi rubbed her forehead and smiled lovingly. "We've agreed that we'll take turns taking care of you during the day, and I'll take care of you and your mother at night. When you're well again, I'll take care of the cub at night."
Si Shuo was a little uncomfortable with the sudden unloading. She was not sleepy at all, but extremely excited.
After seeing the big guys leave, she pulled Xuchi to lie down together, and smiled as she put her arms around his waist, "Now, have I tied Xuchi up?"
Xu Chi was stunned for a moment, then he realized that in addition to the beast mark, the two of them were also connected by the blood of a pair of cubs.
"I've always been tied up. After I met Ah Shuo, you don't need to tie me up with a rope, and I won't leave your side."
"Once you have cubs, you can't focus all your attention on them!"
Xu Chi chuckled and nodded, "Of course not, let's take care of our kittens first."
Si Shuo pursed his lips and smiled, "Xu Chi is so kind. I don't want you to be distracted by the cubs. From now on, we will take care of Youyou and Xiaoye together and be a good pair of father and mother."
"Of course, Ah Shuo is a good mother," Xu Chi especially liked the little female showing her love and dependence on him. His eyes were warm with joy, without the coldness and indifference before, as if he was a high god, and all people and things had nothing to do with him. Now he has too many people he wants to protect! In the male's broad and warm arms, Si Shuo fell asleep with heavy eyelids.
The two little guys were very well-behaved and obedient. They only hummed twice in between. Xu Chi whispered to them, and they opened their eyes and waited quietly.
Xu Chi smiled, quickly got up and changed their diapers one by one, then went to prepare milk powder.
This milk powder was specially provided by the system. The cubs were gifted and grew too fast, requiring a lot of nutrition, which Si Shuo's milk could not provide. So they simply fed the cubs milk powder from the beginning, and mixed it with cow's milk, goat's milk and rice porridge.
Si Shuo slept until the next afternoon. She felt so comfortable that her eyes were curved. Before she opened her eyes, she heard two childish "yoyo" sounds beside her.
She turned her head and met two beautiful pairs of wet brown eyes.
Only one night and most of the day had passed, and the skin of the two little guys was no longer pale and wrinkled from being soaked in amniotic fluid. They had flaxen hair, fair skin, and small but delicate facial features. They looked at her obediently.
"Xiao Ye, Yoyo, good morning!" Si Shuo did not feel the emotion of being a first-time mother as seen in novels or on TV. She just felt it was magical that these two little guys were conceived by her.
Xiao Cheng propped up his head, looked sideways at the three of them, and said with a smile: "Sister is sleepy, it's not morning now, it's evening.
Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Brother Xuchi was busy after getting up. He cooked rice porridge and chicken soup for his sister, and also made a lot of fried cakes and boiled eggs, which were all kept warm in the space.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
He is out now washing diapers for the pups."
"I want to get up and take a shower first," she said. She felt sticky all over and her pores were clogged, which made her very uncomfortable.
Xiao Cheng said helplessly: "I know that my sister likes to be clean, we have prepared warm water for you, and Brother Yin Jiang has burned a few stones and will put them next to the bathtub for you later.
Sister simply rinsed it and didn't wash her hair yet, and waited a few days. The female who had just given birth was weak, so sister had to make do with it...
Sister, do you need my help in taking a bath?"
Si Shuo smiled and nodded, then shook his head, "I know, no need, I'll be better at recovering if I move around."
Xiao Cheng kissed her on the cheek, then stood up with somersaults, causing the kids to cheer "yoyo" in approval.
"When your mother recovers, Father Xiao Cheng will take you out to play," he said with a smile and went out.
Si Shuo pursed her lips and chuckled. After being in the animal world for a long time, she could more or less feel that females needed the protection of males. They seemed to be a family, but in fact, whoever the female gave birth to the cub would be the one who took care of it wholeheartedly.
The other males just lend a hand, but the relationship is rather cold. The cubs who are not from the same nest and father don't have a particularly close relationship.
Just like Yu Jiao and her, Liwa and Zhile are half-brothers, and Zhu Bang and Yin Jiang are a father and son who have no blood relationship in the same family.
Not to mention any affection between them, not tripping each other up is already a sign of their shared friendship in the same cave, and there is no lack of life-and-death targeting and calculations in private.
She used to be worried about the males in the family and didn't like the cubs. When she was pregnant, she tried to instill in them the idea of being a family.
Last night, the males were scrambling to hold the cubs, and their expressions of delight were real. Just now, Xiao Cheng's interaction with the cubs was natural and intimate, and Xu Chi was relieved to let Xiao Cheng look after Niang San. Maybe her brainwashing was successful?
