Chapter 34
The 800 ml of milk was quickly gone. Xu Yirou carefully pulled out the nipple and gently patted Kang Kang's back rhythmically.
A moment later, Kang Kang let out a soft burp.
Xu Yirou and Paopao took turns playing with it using a cat toy. It lay on the ground like a cat, its little paws waving nimbly, cleverly and obediently knowing to put away its sharp claws.
The dark, fleshy pads didn't hurt at all when patted on her hands; on the contrary, they felt incredibly comfortable. Xu Yirou even wanted to lie on the ground and let Kang Kang knead her breasts for a massage.
After playing for a while, Kang Kang was so tired that he dozed off. Xu Yirou and Paopao played with the other babies for a while before reluctantly leaving.
After leaving the zoo at four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Yirou kept turning back to look at it, seemingly reluctant to leave.
The person in charge personally escorted them to the underground parking lot and said solicitously, "Mr. Xu, we will give Meimei and Yangyang a thorough check-up first to ensure their health before sending them to your and Miss Jiang's residence."
Xu Qingyan, sitting in the back seat, nodded. There was nothing else to say. The person in charge took a step back and watched the two luxury cars disappear from sight quickly.
The sun was scorching, and the cub had been running around all day, its soft hair on its forehead damp with sweat, its fair face as red as a ripe apple.
She leaned against the car window, humming a little tune, her chin resting on her hand as she watched the passing cars and people, her whole being brimming with vibrant life.
Xu Qingyan stared at her round head and gently placed his large hand on her head: "Mom, can you take the wings off? You're sweating, it's too stuffy to carry them on your back."
The small wings look light, but they actually have some weight.
Xu Yirou did not refuse, obediently took off her wings, then moved her little bottom and leaned against her son to rub her eyes.
"Mom, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired."
"good."
As the mother cub said this, her humming grew softer and softer.
Xu Qingyan quietly reached around to her back and gently stroked her back.
Within seconds, the car fell completely silent, and the mother cub nestled in her son's arms, fast asleep.
The car slowed down and drove smoothly for more than half an hour before arriving home.
As soon as the car stopped, Xu Yirou woke up groggily. The cub was still weak and had little strength after waking up, so Xu Qingyan carried her out of the car.
After taking a few steps, Xu Yirou struggled and protested: "I want to leave."
As soon as it landed, it was like a wild horse that had broken free, disappearing in a flash.
Xu Yirou became a loudspeaker, boasting to everyone she met about her alpaca, as if she wanted to tell the whole world about buying one.
Xu Niancheng, who had just finished work and came downstairs, raised an eyebrow with interest upon hearing the news.
"Why did you suddenly buy an alpaca? Is it the one that bit my brother last time?"
"It's its baby!"
Hsu Yi-jou gesticulated wildly as she described how adorable the baby alpaca was: "It's tiny and white, with fragrant and soft fur, and it eats so well."
It sounds like an adorable little guy: "When will it be delivered? Have you chosen a name yet?"
Xu Yirou: "Its name is Meimei, and it's a girl. Bubble's name is Yangyang. Yangyang and Meimei are twin sisters."
Just then, Xu Qingyan came in from outside, and Xu Niancheng noticed the bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Xu Niancheng's expression lit up, and she teased, "Brother, so your methods for pursuing girls are so old-fashioned? Sending such tacky flowers, you got rejected, didn't you?"
Xu Qingyan lowered her eyes to examine the bouquet in her hand, and asked without the slightest embarrassment or annoyance, "Is it tacky?"
"So tacky!" Xu Niancheng blurted out. "What era are we living in? What young girl likes roses sprinkled with gold powder? It's so tacky."
The overwhelming sense of being outdated is no different from a straight man giving someone a bright pink lipstick.
Xu Qingyan's gaze shifted, a half-smile playing on his lips as he fixed his eyes on the cub's mother.
Xu Yirou, whose heart was pierced by her daughter's needles: QAQ
She insisted that the shop assistant sprinkle the gold powder on; it looked so pretty and sparkly.
Waaaaah.
Xu Niancheng sensed something unusual from their expressions. Ah, this can't be such a coincidence...
Xu Yirou looked aggrieved, her face downcast.
Xu Niancheng had a strong survival instinct: "But sprinkling gold dust is a symbol of strength. With the recent rise in gold prices, if Big Brother is willing to spend a lot of money to sprinkle gold dust, that's definitely a plus!"
"Men who are willing to spend money are the most attractive!"
Xu Qingyan looked thoughtful.
Although the attempt to mend the situation was clumsy, it was enough to appease the little one's bad temper, and Xu Yirou's sweet smile returned.
"Xiao Bao, you just said something wrong."
Xu Niancheng thought she was referring to the rose soil and was very eager to admit her mistake.
However, the two were talking about completely different things.
“Da Bao’s nose didn’t get dusty, but his lips touched Bubble Mom’s lips.” Xu Yirou made a shy face gesture, “How embarrassing!”
Xu Niancheng: ?
Invisible Man Yunbo: ! !
Xu Niancheng jumped in front of Xu Qingyan and squinted at him, looking him up and down: "Brother, has the iron tree finally blossomed?"
Xu Qingyan's eyes darted around, and he denied it in a serious tone: "Nothing of the sort, it's just an optical illusion."
"Bubble and I both saw you doing this!"
Xu Yirou pouted, unwilling to accept it, and spread her arms to imitate the scene she had witnessed.
This pose... isn't it just like couples sticking together?
By imagining her mother's actions and her own interpretation, Xu Niancheng successfully recreated the scene of the sticker in her mind.
Xu Niancheng was stunned.
So, my older brother succeeded in his blind date?
Is this speed like riding a rocket?
Is she about to have a sister-in-law?
Xu Niancheng: "Big brother, bring your sister-in-law back."
To be able to give birth to such an interesting cub like Bubble, and also win over her unattainable older brother, Bubble's mother must be an extraordinary woman.
"We'll talk about it later."
After saying that, Xu Qingyan went upstairs.
Without denying the title of "sister-in-law," her brother's attitude couldn't be clearer, and Xu Niancheng suddenly felt as if she were living in a dream.
Oh my god, her brother's spring has arrived.

The little alpaca, Meimei, was brought in on the morning of the second day, a weekend. Uncle Yun came to the music room to tell Xu Yirou the news.
Xu Yirou was so happy that she stopped practicing the piano and hurriedly dragged Qiao Wen to see her beautiful sister.
In the huge living room, a snow-white, fluffy creature stood trembling at the doorway, its large black eyes looking timidly left and right.
The unfamiliar environment made the little guy very uneasy, and it kept making soft, trembling cries, trying to find its companions.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yirou ran over: "Meimei, Mommy's here!"
The moment that small figure appeared, the clever Meimei recognized her, and upon hearing that slightly familiar voice, it was like a ray of light piercing through the darkness.
The little alpaca trotted away quickly, its slender limbs clattering.
The man and the alpaca hugged each other tightly.
I missed you so much!
"Mmm~ Mmm~"
"Meimei, do you miss me?"
"Mmm~ Mmm~ Mmm~"
Meimei immediately started licking Xu Yirou, making her stagger and utter a clear, bell-like laugh.
Qiao Wen silently frowned.
Uncle Yun explained from the side, "Madam, yesterday the eldest young master took you to the Beijing Wildlife Park. You really liked this little alpaca, so the eldest young master bought it for you as a pet."
It was produced by Beijing Wildlife Park.
Qiao Wen felt half relieved, but still cautiously confirmed one more time: "Are the vaccines and health services guaranteed?"
Uncle Yun picked up a stack of documents from the table beside him: "These are the quarantine certificates and other inspection reports provided by the Beijing Wildlife Park. Please take a look."
Qiao Wen took it and carefully flipped through it, reading ten lines at a glance, and then she felt relieved about the other half of her worries.
Xu Yirou affectionately rubbed against Meimei's smooth neck and introduced her to Qiao Wen with a bright smile: "Mom, this is my baby alpaca, her name is Meimei, isn't she pretty?"
Qiao Wen's memory of alpacas is limited to Mickey Mouse robbing Xu Qingyan. Her impression of alpacas is that they are gluttonous, mischievous, and a little clever.
The little alpaca in front of me looks docile and docile, with thick, curly fur that makes it quite adorable.
"Beautiful," Qiao Wen replied calmly.
Emboldened by the affirmation, Xu Yirou became even bolder. She took a few steps with Meimei in her arms, like a parent introducing their child to their elders during Chinese New Year: "Meimei, this is my mom, and also your grandma. Be good, call her grandma~"
Meimei blinked her bright, dark eyes: "Mmm~ Mmm~"
Xu Yirou: "Mom, Meimei is calling you Grandma now."
Qiao Wen: ...
so what?
What kind of response does she need?
Qiao Wen wasn't an outdated old-fashioned person. She knew that young people today raise pets much like they raise children; they are the parents of these furry kids. By extension, the older generation are naturally the grandparents of these furry kids.
I never thought she would have her turn one day.
—Becoming an alpaca grandmother.
Qiao Wen remained calm and composed, without even blinking: "I didn't bring a gift today, I'll make it up to you next time."
Xu Yirou beamed: "Hehe, then I'll thank Mom on Meimei's behalf."
She suddenly let go of her sister and ran to hug Qiao Wen's leg. Qiao Wen was startled for a moment, then bent down, thinking that her little dumpling wanted to whisper something again.
To her surprise, just as she bent down, the little dumpling suddenly stood on tiptoe and gave her a sweet kiss on the left cheek.
Qiao Wen froze, as if frozen in place for a long time.
Yun Bo and Xu Niancheng, who appeared at the top of the stairs, both stared wide-eyed.
"Mom is not only good to me, but also to Meimei. You are not only the best mom in the world, but also the best grandma in the world!" The little one's voice was sweeter than honey water, and his eyes were brighter than the stars. "Thank you for your love, Mom~"
What, Grandma?
Xu Niancheng understood. Without the knowledge of the three siblings, Meimei had quietly become their mother's fourth child.
It has already received Grandma's stamp of approval, and Grandma is even going to prepare a gift for it.
The three of them now have an alpaca sister.
Xu Niancheng hurried downstairs to show her how incredibly cute Meimei's face was, captivating her mother and grandmother.
Qiao Wen regained her senses at that moment, trying her best to suppress the turmoil in her heart. She glanced at the dazed Mei Mei and said with a straight face:
"It is said that alpacas are social animals and cannot be raised alone, otherwise they are prone to illness and depression."
"ah."
Meimei is sick? These words struck Xu Yirou like a bolt from the blue, leaving her stunned and speechless.
Qiao Wen: "That's what they say."
The cub clung tightly to Meimei in fear, its eyes moist, like the mist rising from the mountains.
Xu Niancheng, who hadn't heard their conversation clearly, popped up and bent down to look at the new member: "Is this Meimei? She's really beautiful, just like someone from our family."
Xu Yirou cried, "Second baby, Mommy said that if Meimei is raised alone, she is likely to get sick and die."
Xu Niancheng hesitated for a moment, then thought back carefully and realized that there did seem to be such a saying.
At this moment, heartbroken Xu Yirou was crying so hard that snot bubbles were forming on her nose while hugging Meimei's neck.
Qiao Wen frowned, a moment of doubt and regret arising within her. Should she have said it at this time?
It was her discouraging words that made the cub cry.
Qiao Wen decided to take remedial action and planned to buy an alpaca for Xu Yirou. She also thought that raising two alpacas would prevent the alpacas from becoming depressed.
"I--"
“Isn’t there an alpaca?” Xu Niancheng reminded slowly, “You and Paopao each have an alpaca. Since your brother and sister-in-law are getting married soon, why don’t you let your sister-in-law bring Paopao and the alpaca over? That would solve the problem.”
"They are sisters, they know each other very well, so there's no need to worry about them getting sick or depressed."
A single word awakened me from my dream.
The crying stopped abruptly, and Xu Yirou's eyes, washed with tears, shone brightly.
Yes, how could she not have thought of that?
"Xiao Bao, you're really something!" She gave her daughter a thumbs up, and then immediately got to work, "I'm going to find Da Bao!"
Qiao Wen, Xu Niancheng, and Meimei were left in the living room.
Qiao Wen's gaze was chilling.
Xu Niancheng's brow twitched, her smile becoming obedient as she dutifully explained, "Grandma, the situation is like this—"
