At the beginning, the bamboo shoots were taken away by the mythical beast, and the goddess came to t

After chatting for a while, Lu Chen put down his phone.

In my ears, I could hear the sounds of villagers cheering each other, which was very lively.

This feeling was completely different from when he was in the army before.

After drinking and eating, several aunts spontaneously stayed behind to pack things with Lu Chen, Shen Luyao and others.

When Lu Chen saw it, he wanted to refuse, but the aunts dismissed him with a few words.

"Chen Wazi, we ate and drank, and we feel guilty for not doing anything. Just let us clean up."

"Yes, it's just a matter of a few bowls and chopsticks, it doesn't cost much."

"The little sugar baby is already yawning all day long. Why don't you go with Lu Yao to take the little guy to bed?"

An aunt even blinked at Lu Chen when she walked up to him, "Chen Wazi, I think Lu Yao is a good girl. You are so lucky, but you have to treat others well. You know No?"

Lu Chen was a little helpless and shrugged towards his aunt, "Aunt, I am also a good boy!"

"Hahahahaha," the aunt was amused by Lu Chen, "Yes, yes, our son Chen is also a good boy!"

After saying goodbye to his aunt, Lu Chen walked to Shen Luyao and stretched out his hand towards him.

"Give me a hug, sugar baby. You must be tired too."

"Here." After handing the little sugar baby into Lu Chen's arms, Shen Luyao waved his arms.

"I'm really tired. Both my arms are a little numb. The little sugar baby has gained a lot of weight recently."

"Indeed." Seeing the little guy grunting a little, Lu Chen bumped his head and placed his big hand directly on the little guy's soft butt.

"Lu Yao, why do you think Sugar Baby is so soft and cute?"

Shen Luyao really didn't know the reason, and was stunned when Lu Chen asked.

She said with some uncertainty, "Because children are inherently soft, right?"

"No," Lu Chen smiled slyly and quickly poked Shen Luyao's cheek with his other hand, "Because you are also very soft and cute!"

He said, holding the little sugar baby and striding toward the house.

Shen Luyao subconsciously reached out and touched the cheek that Lu Chen had just pinched.

The suddenly sluggish brain slowly began to analyze what Lu Chen meant just now.

Because he is soft, is the sugar baby soft?

Because I am cute as a mother, so my daughter’s sugar baby is cute?

Was he being teased or was Lu Chen praising him from a different angle?

In Shen Luyao's impression, her parents rarely called her cute when she was a child.

Most of them praised her for being smart, writing beautifully, and playing the piano well.

When she reacted, a red cloud appeared on her face.

The aunts who saw the interaction between the two of them all averted their peeking eyes, but their shoulders were shaking in unison.

Young love is so sweet that it refreshes the heart.

When Shen Luyao returned to the room, he happened to see Lu Chen coming out after taking a shower.

The crystal water droplets slid down Lu Chen's well-defined cheeks, rolled into his collarbone, and finally disappeared under the cover of the bath towel.

"Ah, you...you...!"

Shen Luyao screamed and hurriedly turned his head to avoid sight.

Lu Chen was also startled. He wiped the water off his body and put on the clothes he had put aside.

"I'm ready."

After cleaning up, Lu Chen was about to speak, but Shen Luyao spoke at the same time as him.

"are you ready?"

After hearing the affirmative answer, Shen Luyao turned around.

"Lu Chen, why did you come out without clothes?!"

Lu Chen clearly saw that Shen Luyao blushed to the root of his neck again this time.

In response to Shen Luyao's question, Lu Chen spread his hands helplessly, "Of course you don't wear clothes when taking a bath!"

"Lu Chen! You know that's not what I asked."

Shen Luyao discovered that after getting to know Lu Chen, he would occasionally be as mean as he is now.

Hearing Shen Luyao raise his voice, Lu Chen quickly looked towards the sugar baby on the bed, "Keep your voice down, Lu Yao, the sugar baby is still sleeping."

"The sugar baby just vomited milk and vomited all over me, so I just took a shower in the bathroom over here and didn't notice that you had come up."

"How is Tangbao? Do you have a fever or feel uncomfortable?" Shen Luyao immediately became nervous and quickly stepped forward to test the temperature of Tangbao's forehead with the back of his hand.

Lu Chen shook his head, "I don't have a fever or feel uncomfortable. It may have been caused by the wind blowing outside just now. I'm fine now."

He reached out and touched Shen Luyao's hand, "Don't worry, the little sugar baby will be fine."

"Okay." Shen Luyao nodded and leaned on Lu Chen's chest.

Encased in the fragrance of shower gel and body temperature slightly higher than his own, Shen Luyao once again expressed the deepest fear hidden in his heart.

"Lu Chen, I told you before that the little sugar baby was born prematurely, and she went through a lot before being rescued. So now, when I hear that she is uncomfortable or coughing, I feel very scared, and those emotions It’s very inexplicable and out of my control.”

"I'm afraid that my little sugar baby will end up in a hospital bed with a ventilator and a bunch of tubes inserted into her body like before. I'm also afraid..."

If Shen Luyao didn't say anything else, Lu Chen could have guessed it.

He took the lotus-like wrist of Little Tangbao with one hand, and guided Shen Luyao's hand with the other hand to rest on Little Tangbao's wrist.

"Lu Yao, can you feel it? This is the pulse of the little sugar baby."

Shen Luyao closed her eyes. This was the first time she felt someone's pulse. In fact, it didn't feel very real.

Looking at Shen Luyao's expression, Lu Chen guessed something. He simply changed places and guided Shen Luyao's hand to rest on the little sugar baby's chest.

"Lu Yao, this is the heartbeat of the little sugar baby, feel it carefully."

The beating of the heart is easier to catch than the pulse, and movement can be heard clearly in Shen Luyao's hand.

It beats regularly and powerfully, one after another.

"The little sugar baby is very healthy now. She has survived well and will grow up healthily in the future."

"So, you don't have to worry too much about this."

"That's all." Lu Chen changed the position of his palms and interlocked with Shen Luyao's hand. "I will walk with you for the rest of my life."

"The sugar baby is no longer your sole responsibility, and you don't have to fully shoulder her growth and anxiety."

"Try to rely on me more, okay, Lu Yao?"

"Okay." Shen Luyao blushed and hummed softly.
