The little one was drooling over the mushroom soup simmering in the pot.
It smells so good, so fragrant...
Shen Yulou picked him up, afraid that his saliva would drip into the iron pot and be cooked together with the mushroom soup.
Chi Yuan stirred the soup in the pot with a wooden spoon and took a small sip.
"Is it good? Let me blow a sip."
The baby moved from Shen Yulou's arms to behind Chi Yuan and opened its mouth with Shen Yulou.
Let the baby have a bite too.
"ah!"
The little guy opened his mouth wide, waiting for the spoon to arrive, but right before his eyes, the spoon was stuffed into his father's mouth.
No, no.
The baby's stomach rumbled loudly as he looked at the clean spoon that had been pulled out.
"Crack!"
As lightning crackled at the bottom of the pot, several large bubbles rose to the surface of the mushroom broth.
"How did this crater get there? And how come the lightning is so strong?"
The couple came here to cook because there are many pits filled with lightning, so they can start cooking without lighting a fire.
"I don't know, maybe someone is undergoing a tribulation of lightning here."
"What kind of tribulation lightning can even reshape the terrain? If it's gotten to this extent, then the person undergoing the tribulation must be incredibly unlucky!"
Shen Yulou estimated that any cultivator struck by lightning of this magnitude would likely be reduced to ashes.
"Who knows? Maybe we offended the will of Heaven."
Meeting the baby's expectant gaze, Chi Yuan fed himself a big mouthful of mushroom soup.
The pure, natural aroma is sweet.
A rustling sound came from the bushes nearby, and the couple turned around to look.
Heihei, brother Heihei!
The little one immediately looked down at his exposed hands and feet.
Bye-bye, baby bye-bye.
Where is Dad?
Dad is also white.
The little one turned to look at his fathers' faces and hands, and found that they were also white.
The young man was somewhat taken aback when he saw them.
After all, they weren't villagers from the surrounding area, and the appearance of a few strangers in such a remote place was quite remarkable.
Noticing the couple's gaze, the young man gave a shy smile and continued on his way with his head down.
"Wow!"
Sparkling!
My brother's teeth are so shiny!
The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up in Shen Yulou's arms.
The older brother's teeth are the shiniest teeth the little one has ever seen.
None of the fathers have any.
The little one stretched out two fingers to pry open his father's mouth and peeked inside.
Where's the baby?
Look at the baby.
The little guy instinctively opened his mouth.
Wait a minute, the baby doesn't have any teeth?
"Um?"
Where did the baby's teeth go?
The little guy chewed on his hand with his little gums in confusion.
"Sweetie, baby's teeth haven't come in yet."
Shen Yulou put his arm around the back of Zai Zai's head and kissed his forehead.
"Da da!"
Momo!
The little guy looked intently at Shen Yulou, pointing to the hair on his head.
Momo, grow some more!
Teeth, grow them!
Yes, teeth grow back just like hair.
Hearing his father's words, the little guy's mind started working again.
Will teeth grow as many as hair?
The little one imagined his fathers' mouths full of teeth, then covered his head and shook his head frantically.
No, not at all. There aren't as many teeth as there are hairs.
Dads don't have that many teeth, so their babies definitely won't either!
But dads have so much hair on their heads, do babies have any?
The little boy's mind was particularly active at the moment, so Shen Yulou patted his soft back to divert his attention.
Just as Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan were about to finish their mushroom soup, the dark-skinned boy suddenly turned back.
"Hello... I'd like to ask what kind of mushrooms you used in this soup."
He asked cautiously, his smile so innocent it was heartwarming.
Chi Yuan and Shen Yulou exchanged a glance, then shook their heads simultaneously.
"We don't know either, we just randomly picked one from that patch of land next door."
Shen Yulou pointed him in a clear direction.
"Okay, thank you."
The boy thanked him repeatedly and, carrying his basket, couldn't wait to go pick mushrooms.
Shen Yulou called him back again.
"Actually, we don't know if these mushrooms are edible. Young friend, you should be careful when picking them."
"I wonder if you also use it for cooking?"
The boy scratched his head, then pointed to their boiler, as if to say, "Haven't you already eaten a lot?"
"We cooked it together with the antidote pills."
The two husbands smiled, revealing wise expressions.
Upon hearing this, the boy paused for a moment, but ultimately went anyway.
As long as it doesn't kill me, it doesn't matter.
Soon after, he brought a large handful of mushrooms to Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan.
"Do you still want some? Here are some as a thank you gift."
"Or you can come to my house, and I'll treat you to something to eat."
The sincerity in the boy's eyes showed that he genuinely wanted to thank the couple.
What an innocent child who is so easily grateful to others.
Chi Yuan and Shen Yulou were secretly thinking about it.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Gu Qing, and I'm a junior member of the Gu family of chefs."
He became shy again as he spoke, perhaps feeling that his family's reputation wasn't very prestigious.
"The chef is family-oriented..."
Upon hearing this name, Chi Yuan frantically searched through his memories.
The boy hesitated for a long time, still hoping that Chi Yuan would say something like "we know each other".
