After speaking, Lu Nanchen bent down to pick up the bags of groceries again, dividing them evenly into two piles, each with about seven or eight bags.
He strained his hands, lifting the bags. Burdened with bags of all sizes on both sides, some veins on Lu Nanchen became visible, from his hands all the way up to his arms. His backbones became more noticeable under his clothes, but his face expression remained calm, without any sign of strain.
The three of them were heading again towards the residential area. Yu Ting, leading Lu Xiaobao, walked in front, while Lu Nanchen followed behind carrying the groceries all by himself.
"What a fine young man, carrying all those groceries for his wife."
A few old ladies passing by the community greenery, one of them eyeing Lu Nanchen with a beaming smile, voiced out her thoughts.
The voice was clear and loud enough for both adults to hear. Lu Nanchen looked a little taken aback, glanced at Yu Ting a few times, then continued walking.
Seeing the old ladies teasingly grinning at her, Yu Ting’s pretty face couldn’t help but turned a little flushed. Lu Nanchen indeed left no room for complaints...
"Yes, indeed! Both his wife and son are absolutely beautiful. He’s really blessed."
Lu Xiaobao, who was quietly standing by them, remained well-behaved. His smile never faded since he saw Lu Nanchen.
In silence, they walked up the stairs. Yu Ting held Lu Xiaobao’s hand in one hand while swiping a card on the door in the other. With a beep, they entered one after the other, with Lu Nanchen being the last one to step in, he headed straight towards the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the house, Lu Xiaobao let go of Yu Ting’s hand and ran to Lu Nanchen’s side. He followed him everywhere he moved.
As Lu Nanchen moved, he made sure not to spill any vegetables on Lu Xiaobao, and carefully placed the heap of groceries in a corner of the kitchen.
Then he scanned the vegetables, singled out the seafood and meat, and started placing them in the refrigerator one by one.
This bag contained crabs, into the fridge.
This bag contained crabs, into the fridge.
This bag...also contained crabs, into the fridge.
Lu Nanchen: ...
"Brother, brother let me tell you."
"I ranked first in my class on this exam, my teacher even rewarded me with a notebook~"
As Lu Nanchen placed grocery items into the fridge, Lu Xiaobao chattered non-stop about his school story.
"Well done. If there’s any reward you want, just let me know."
...
When Yu Ting, holding a glass of water, was looking towards the kitchen from the hallway, she saw this scene.
The evening sunset’s rouge came in through the adjacent kitchen window, lighting up a corner of the sky, the nearly 1.9-meter-tall man bustled around in the tidy black and white kitchen, his handsome face rife with serious thoughts. He occasionally bent down to place stuff in the double-door refrigerator, a bouncy child standing next to him, ceaselessly sharing his own stories.
It cast a rather tranquil and peaceful feel to the scene.
Upon seeing this, Yu Ting inadvertently let the corners of her mouth rise a little, she leaned against the cupboard, occasionally sipping water and appreciating the view.
After talking for a few minutes, Lu Xiaobao suddenly fell silent, his eyes widened again as if there was another problem.
Then, Lu Xiaobao suddenly turned his head and looked around the house, even ran through each room, and returned with a puzzled look on his face as he tugged on Lu Nanchen’s shirt.
"Brother, why don’t you and sister-in-law have a baby?"
