1218 Fortunately, She Resembles Her Mother
Based on a soldier’s instinct, a sentence suddenly appeared in s.h.i.+ Qing’s mind. Brother Zhai must have just worn his s.h.i.+rt. If she had been half a minute quicker, she would most likely be able to see a half-naked Brother Zhai!
She completely took Zhai Sheng for her elder brother and her good friend’s husband. s.h.i.+ Qing was not interested in Brother Zhai’s half-naked or even fully-naked body. On the contrary, she shuddered at the thought of it. No wonder the auntie shouted so loudly earlier. So, she was reminding Brother Zhai that she was going upstairs and into the room?
The auntie was trying to prevent her from seeing any censor-warranted scenes that were not meant for children, was she?
Indeed, s.h.i.+ Qing had guessed it right this time.
Just as s.h.i.+ Qing said, Qiao Nan had been maintaining the good habit of waking up at half past six every morning. This had never changed.
On the other hand, as a soldier, Zhai Sheng was even more perverted in his persistence regarding this. Zhai Sheng did not wake up at half past six but five o’clock instead every day.
s.h.i.+ Qing had never seen Zhai Sheng still in a bedroom at a late timing such as seven o’clock. She dared not think of it either. Unexpectedly, she b.u.mped into this scene personally today.
After having children, Qiao Nan, the mother, was not the only one who had changed. Zhai Sheng, the father, had changed too.
Was it such an easy matter to take care of three children at the same time?
After a tough morning, looking at his pretty wife’s flushed little face, bare shoulders, and his children holding onto and nursing from his favorite, as a man, it was impossible that he would not have any reaction.
These were all part and parcel of a loving couple’s life. Teasing and kissing were most common.
If he had ‘served’ the triplets well, there would be peace as the trio would be full and satisfied. He could then dump them to his mother and sister. Next, just when the mood was right in the morning, he would take the time and opportunity to hug his pretty wife and go for another round!
This was the happy and satisfied life of a married man. As an unmarried woman, what did s.h.i.+ Qing know?
The whole year’s work depended on a good start in spring. An hour in the morning was worth two in the evening.
The wonderful ‘beginning’ of a good morning had been disrupted by s.h.i.+ Qing. Zhai Sheng could only pull a long face. He did not give s.h.i.+ Qing a few punches as he took into account that she was a woman.
“Brother… Brother Zhai.” Although s.h.i.+ Qing did not understand what happened, she could sense deep danger from the black-faced Zhai Sheng. She swallowed with difficulty and could not help thinking. Perhaps she should come and visit her grandsons and granddaughter on another day?
Anyway, this time, her vacation would certainly be longer than the time that Brother Zhai could stay at the house of the Zhai family. In order to complete her mission, she did not take her summer vacation. It was certainly not an issue to request her teacher to give her a few more days of rest.
When Brother Zhai returned to the army, her G.o.dsons, G.o.ddaughter, and Qiao Nan would belong only to her then.
“Um.” Zhai Sheng responded with a deep voice. He could not help revealing some feelings of unhappiness, and it sent chills down s.h.i.+ Qing’s spine.
After the door opened, Zhai Sheng turned back. Using one hand each, he ‘picked up’ Da Bao and Er Bao, who were full and happily stretching, kicking, and twisting their necks and waists happily on the bed. He then carried them downstairs to look for their grandmother and auntie.
After sending off Zhai Sheng with her eyes, s.h.i.+ Qing touched the back of her cold neck and looked at Qiao Nan. “What is wrong with Brother Zhai? Did I somehow forget that I owed him ten million yuan? His face was so black. I’m so frightened.”
Qiao Nan touched San Bao’s face. Clearly, the little girl was already full but she refused to let go. She did not know if it was psychological that she nursed as and when she wished, as if she was treating the milk like beverages.
It was seldom that the impatient San Bao would reveal such a carefree side of her. At this sight, Qiao Nan did not know what to say.
“My G.o.ddaughter is nursing?” After closing the door, s.h.i.+ Qing voluntarily sat on the bed and touched the exposed little legs of her G.o.ddaughter. “So tiny, yet so chubby. It’s all flesh.” Curious about how it felt to touch a small baby, s.h.i.+ Qing touched San Bao’s tiny legs and pinched the milk-scented, soft and tender flesh. “It looks like pig trotter but yummier than that. G.o.ddaughter, let G.o.dmother take a bite?”
Having said that, s.h.i.+ Qing bent down, grabbed San Bao’s little leg, and bit it.
s.h.i.+ Qing was teasing San Bao. She did not use any strength. Most likely, San Bao felt itchy as she opened her tiny mouth and chuckled.
Qiao Nan jumped in shock. She quickly held San Bao up and chided s.h.i.+ Qing. “San Bao likes to kick up a fuss. Don’t tease her at such times. What if she chokes on her milk?”
“She’s still drinking milk?” As soon as she heard that San Bao might choke on milk, s.h.i.+ Qing dared not tease her anymore. She simply carried San Bao from Qiao Nan’s arms. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’re really a mother. Did your cup size increase by two cups after giving birth?”
s.h.i.+ Qing looked at Qiao Nan’s fair skin, and then at herself. She could not help sighing.
Qiao Nan blushed and wore her clothes properly. Although it was not a strange issue for breastfeeding women to reveal themselves in front of others, Qiao Nan could not be so open about it, even if the one looking was her close pal. “What’s the hurry? When you become a mother and increase by two cup sizes, it will be most practical.”
s.h.i.+ Qing snorted. She looked like she did not care. “I am not anxious. It’s either I don’t get married or marry someone who doesn’t mind my cup size. San Bao, San Bao, I am your G.o.dmother. Let G.o.dmother give you a kiss, okay?”
The four-month-old little girl was very good-looking. After the facial features became distinct, one would realize that San Bao was quite blessed. It was not a situation whereby daughters looked more like their fathers, and sons looked more like their mothers. Her little brows, little eyes, and little mouth resembled Qiao Nan’s. Only the little nose bore some resemblance to her father.
If the only little girl of the Zhai family looked as masculine as her father, the Zhai family would have to worry whether San Bao would be able to find someone true to her and successfully get married.
Given Brother Zhai’s looks, which man would dare to go near her?
Of course, other people dared not say this. It was Tian Dong who privately told Zhai Hua during the triplets’ full-month celebration. He was revealing his feelings when looking at San Bao’s tiny face at that time.
At this moment, San Bao had had her fill and was in a very good mood. She was smiling like a flower, looking more adorable than ever.
“San Bao, you are not making noises. That means you don’t object to G.o.dmother kissing you, right?” s.h.i.+ Qing bullied San Bao for not being able to understand or reply to her words. She bent down, pouted, and kissed San Bao’s chubby face a few times. “This little face is as tender as tofu. It smells nice. There’s a scent of milk.”
s.h.i.+ Qing’s eyes were filled with curiosity when she carried San Bao. “Is a child’s skin always so tender and smooth? San Bao is chubby all over. It feels so comfortable hugging her soft body. It is as if she doesn’t have any bones. You are not aware. When I first joined the school, I went through a lot of training. My arms are much stronger now.”
