Chapter 146: My little uncle is so shy, he still wants to be fed~
Zhou Yan lifted the bag in his hand: "Candied sweet potato."
"Oh~ Erbao, did you hear that? Uncle is going to make candied sweet potatoes for us~" Lin Xu said to Erbao happily.
Erbao had eaten the candied sweet potato made by her uncle, and she was deeply impressed by its fragrance and sweetness.
"Bus sweet potato~" Erbao said excitedly, imitating Lin Xu.
Zhou Yan couldn't help laughing: "Yes, uncle will make you some sweet potatoes, but you have to wash them first."
"Okay." Erbao agreed, turned around and stretched out his arms to Lin Xu, "Uncle, hug me~"
Lin Xu bent down and picked up Erbao: "Let's go, little uncle will give you a bath."
"Let me help you." Zhou Yan followed them into the house.
"You still have to cook. You've been busy all day and you must be tired enough. Let me do it myself." Lin Xu felt sorry for Zhou Yan for doing too much work in a day.
"It's okay, I cook quickly. Let's wash Erbao together first, then I'll take her to cook, and you can wash yourself." Zhou Yan also felt sorry for Lin Xu.
Taking care of children is no easier than hosting guests in his B&B.
"Well - okay." It was indeed impossible to take a bath with Erbao, so Lin Xu had to agree.
The two of them washed Erbao and changed him into clean clothes. Zhou Yan took Erbao downstairs to cook, giving Lin Xu time to take a bath.
Lin Xu took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to find Zhou Yan feeling refreshed.
Erbao moved a small stool to the kitchen door and sat there listening to Zhou Yan tell stories.
While cooking, Zhou Yan was telling her the story of Journey to the West, and had just talked about what the official position of Bi Ma Wen was.
Zhou Yan’s lecture was easy to understand and had the inherent sense of humor of people from Northeast China. Erbao listened with great interest and laughed.
Lin Xu also stood at the door and listened for a while.
He couldn't bear to destroy such a heartwarming scene.
He had always thought that if Zhou Yan were a father, he would definitely be a very good father.
He is so gentle, patient, and handsome. If we could have a daughter, I wonder how beautiful and lovely she would be...
Lin Xu suddenly felt a little sad.
Of course he believed in Zhou Yan's love for him, but wasn't that a bit selfish? Perhaps, he could let Zhou Yan have a child, and he would raise it as his own...
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Yan walked up to him without knowing when. "Are you starving?"
"No." Lin Xu came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and avoided looking away, "I'm listening to your story."
"Oh, where was I?"
Lin Xu didn't say anything.
Zhou Yan tapped his forehead lightly: "Can't I tell whether you are listening or not? I will settle the score with you tonight. Now, grab the bowls and chopsticks and eat."
"Oh." Lin Xu pouted and went to get the bowl and chopsticks to eat.
Because Erbao is around, the meals Zhou Yan cooks are nutritious and light. In addition to a serving of candied sweet potato, he also steamed a bowl of egg cake and fried a plate of mushrooms.
The candied sweet potato took a while to cool down, so Zhou Yan asked Erbao to finish all the food in the bowl before he could eat any sweets.
The second baby is also well-behaved. He eats with a small spoon by himself and eats with great relish.
Zhou Yan nudged Lin Xu's leg under the table and reminded him, "Eat well. You're more worrying than Erbao."
Lin Xu sniffed, and the next second, Zhou Yan scooped a piece of egg cake with a spoon and placed it in front of Lin Xu.
Lin Xu's face flushed instantly. He glanced at Erbao hurriedly and whispered, "I can eat it by myself. In front of Erbao—"
Zhou Yan insisted: "Ah——"
Lin Xu had no choice but to open his mouth and eat the egg cake.
Erbao used his left index finger to gesture on his face, and laughed at him while gesturing: "Little uncle, you are so shy, you still need someone to feed you~"
Lin Xu's ears turned red. He glanced at Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan rubbed Lin Xu's head and said to Erbao, "Uncle needs love too."
Erbao didn’t understand, but thought it was funny.
Lin Xu was almost blushing and just ate in silence.
The second baby played like crazy all afternoon, ate delicious food in the evening, and fell asleep immediately after drinking milk.
Lin Xu was lying on the bed, thinking about random things, while Zhou Yan was taking a shower in the bathroom.
They agreed that Zhou Yan would sleep in the second bedroom these days, and Lin Xu would sleep in the master bedroom with Erbao.
But after Zhou Yan finished taking a shower, he walked straight into the master bedroom, squeezed in a spot behind Lin Xu, and lay down with him in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yan hugged Lin Xu tightly, with his back pressed against his chest, and asked him in a low voice.
"Hold me for a while, I miss you."
"Every day."
"I miss it even if I see you every day." Zhou Yan turned over Lin Xu's face and kissed him.
Lin Xu almost didn't dare to breathe, for fear of waking up the second baby beside him.
If Erbao saw this, both of them would be dead.
Zhou Yan domineeringly occupied the air in his mouth, and Lin Xu pinched his waist in desperation.
Zhou Yan smiled silently and let him go.
"You have no conscience. You are so cruel." Zhou Yan bit his earlobe in revenge.
"Stop messing around and go back to sleep." Lin Xu urged him anxiously.
Zhou Yan's arms tightened. "Then tell me first, have you been thinking about anything crazy today?"
Lin Xu denied it guiltily: "I, I didn't."
"No? Whatever's on your mind has never escaped my notice, so I'll ask you and you'll answer. Did you see me and Erbao getting along and wonder if I might want a child?"
Zhou Yan guessed his thoughts at once. Lin Xu sometimes felt that this kind of understanding was very tacit, and sometimes he felt that this kind of understanding was very scary.
His silence was tantamount to acquiescence. Zhou Yan sighed, "Silly boy, I told you before, having you is enough for me. Erbao is my sister's child. She went through some twists and turns when she was born because of our affairs. I treat her well for these reasons, not because I like children. Who do I like? Check your conscience."
Lin Xu turned around, raised his hands to hug Zhou Yan's waist, and said sullenly: "I don't disbelieve you, I just believe you, so I thought if you want to -"
Before Lin Xu could finish his words, Zhou Yan lifted his chin and kissed him again.
Until Lin Xu stopped talking, Zhou Yan said to him seriously: "There is no such thing as if. Just go to sleep."
"Then why don't you go back to the second bedroom to sleep?" Lin Xu was afraid that it would have a bad influence on the second baby.
But he had never slept in a separate room from Zhou Yan. Although he urged him to do so, he was reluctant in his heart.
Zhou Yan held him and patted his back rhythmically: "I'll go after you fall asleep."
Lin Xu raised the corners of his lips, tilted his head back and kissed Zhou Yan on the chin, then snuggled into his arms and fell asleep peacefully.
The second baby was probably very tired and slept until dawn the next day.
Lin Xu woke up and found Zhou Yan was no longer around.
At this time, Zhou Yan should be taking a group of guests to the scenic spot.
Lin Xu got up and wanted to boil water to make milk powder for the second baby, but then he found that Zhou Yan had already boiled the water before leaving and kept it warm at the right temperature.
The second baby’s diapers and spare clothes were also placed beside the bed.
Lin Xu went through this process very smoothly.
While changing Erbao's clothes, he told her, "Erbao, you know what? When you grow up and find a boyfriend, you should find a man like your uncle who always puts you at the top of his heart."
