Xia Yitong’s head suddenly grew bigger.
First coax the older one and then the younger one, or to be more precise, just yell at the older one.
After more than ten minutes of chaos, the two children were playing with toys in a wronged manner. Xia Yitong called Lu Yinbing to the sofa and they sat face to face. Xia Yitong looked at her quietly.
Lu Yinbing lowered his head deeply: "I was wrong."
Xia Yitong was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth. She fell backwards onto the sofa.
Lu Yinbing raised his head suddenly: "What's wrong with you?"
Xia Yitong shook her head, closed her eyes, and said weakly: "Let me rest for a while."
Xia Yitong's eyes kept flashing back to the wonderful trio scene at home. She was really frightened at that moment and couldn't recover. A slightly cool palm covered her hand on her lower abdomen, and this time the tone was more sincere than before: "I really know I was wrong. I didn't expect you to wake up so soon. I definitely won't scare you."
Instead of scaring her, can we just scare the child? Xia Yitong still shook her head, and her body language expressed a strong desire to rest.
Lu Yinbing had no choice but to squat on the edge of the sofa like a big dog, holding Xia Yitong's hand with one hand.
Xia Yitong rested for more than 20 minutes, so long that Lu Yinbing's legs and feet were numb from squatting and kneeling. Although it was uncomfortable, Lu Yinbing had no intention of getting up. Finally, the person who had been resting with his eyes closed said softly: "Get up and sit down."
Lu Yinbing sat down on the ground.
Xia Yitong: "...Are you angry with me?"
"I dare not." Lu Yinbing moved his butt back to sit on the sofa, next to Xia Yitong.
"The motive and the process of committing the crime." After experiencing the throbbing pain in his temples, Xia Yitong interrogated Lu Yinbing.
Lu Yinbing lowered her head and answered in a low voice: "I told them that I would stop crying if they called me mom, then I would cry for a while and call mom, laugh, cry again, and repeat the process."
Xia Yitong looked at her calmly, "Do you know what I want to do now?"
"What do you want to do?" Lu Yinbing asked guiltily. She didn't want to ask, but Xia Yitong's expression told her that if she didn't respond, she might die a more miserable death.
Xia Yitong smiled and said, "I want to beat you up."
Lu Yinbing did not hesitate and turned her noble buttocks towards her.
Xia Yitong spanked her on the butt and warned her sternly: "Don't use such stupid methods next time. From now on, you will have to get up and take care of the child when he cries in the middle of the night until I am satisfied."
"Can I negotiate with you about the severity of this punishment?"
"cannot."
"Ah..." Lu Yinbing collapsed and let out a long sigh.
She had just won a chance to slack off at night by making a bet with Xia Yitong yesterday, but she hadn't had the chance to use it yet - both children were very well behaved last night and didn't make any noise. Now they were going to be ruthlessly deprived of this opportunity and would have to bear the responsibility of getting up all night from now on.
Oh my God.
Lu Yinbing relied on the other party's favor for him, rubbed his hands secretly, and discussed with Xia Yitong: "Can I keep the bet I made with you yesterday?"
Xia Yitong chuckled.
Lu Yinbing also started laughing.
After smiling amiably for a while, Xia Yitong suddenly frowned and said, "Don't even think about it!"
If we don't punish her, she will become lawless
Lu Yinbing had no choice but to respond dejectedly.
After Xia Yitong taught her a lesson, she spoke to her earnestly, saying that the children were only a few months old and they should not be scared, what if they were left with psychological trauma? Also, if she wanted the child to recognize this mother, she should be honest and take it step by step, and not always think of crooked ways. She should also try to control her magical train of thought and let the children have a sweet and harmonious childhood before they grow up, okay
Lu Yinbing nodded rapidly, admitting her mistake with a good attitude, and turned around to coax the child.
Xia Yitong stopped her, "If you go now, you will make them cry again. Later when they are hungry, you can go and feed them. Lu Xia probably won't bear a grudge. Xia Lu is the mother now because she has milk, so she probably won't cry much."
Lu Yinbing responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
Lu Yinbing, who had done more harm than good, was extremely well-behaved. Since the two children could not go out to play, no, to coax them, she put all her attention on her lover Xia Yitong, massaging their waists and legs, serving them tea and water, and occasionally providing some special services, such as kissing them, touching their hands, etc. She was very busy and happy.
Xia Lu was the first to start crying, firing the first shot for Lu Yinbing to regain the child's trust.
Xia Yitong snapped her fingers and pointed to the kitchen and gave an order: "Make milk powder."
"Yes, Chief!" Lu Yinbing rushed into the kitchen, prepared the milk powder quickly with flowing motions, and then appeared in front of Xia Lu at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
After dropping a drop on the back of her hand to test the temperature, Lu Yinbing slowly put the pacifier into Xia Lu's mouth. Xia Yitong looked at her sadly with her pure and ignorant big eyes, and the slightly pursed corners of her mouth seemed to be brewing something.
"Teacher Xia, help me!!!"
Lu Yinbing's pager and Xia Lu's loud cry sounded almost at the same time.
Lu Yinbing disappeared in front of Xia Lu, and was replaced by her amiable mother Xia Yitong. Xia Yitong put the bottle in Xia Lu's hands and held it. Xia Lu opened her mouth and held the pacifier, slurping the milk that Lu Yinbing had prepared for her in a perfect proportion. Xia Yitong was cultivating her ability to drink milk by herself, and it seemed that she had adapted well. This child was a little naughty, but she was very well behaved in this respect.
Lu Yinbing was so jealous that her eyes were about to turn green. She was the one who made him! Why did he treat her like the murderer of his father
Following Xia Lu, Lu Xia, who was sitting well, turned upside down to show that she was also hungry. She was too lazy to cry. If her mother ignored her, she would cry a little and ask for milk. It took Xia Yitong several times to find the pattern. Lu Yinbing, with a heavy heart, made another bottle of milk and brought it over.
Lu Xia, who claimed that she did not hold grudges, was helped by Lu Yinbing to sit up. She also imitated Xia Yitong and stuffed the bottle into her hand. Lu Yinbing looked at her anxiously, and Lu Xia took the bottle.
Yes, she took it! Lu Yinbing almost cried with joy.
But the next moment, Lu Xia threw the rations she had been longing for onto the carpet with a dull thud.
Xia Yitong turned around: "What's going on?"
Lu Yinbing picked up the discarded bottle helplessly and handed it to Xia Yitong, saying depressedly: "She is not vindictive, she is crazy about it, okay?"
Xia Yitong also found it strange. Looking at Lu Xia, who still looked hungry even though he had dropped the bottle, she couldn't help but wonder: Did I misjudge this child? This child's temper doesn't seem to be any less than Xia Lu's.
In short, the powerful President Lu is completely disliked by the two babies. They don't let him hold, kiss or feed them. If they could speak, they might hold a demonstration and sign a joint protest to kick Lu Yinbing out of the house.
Fortunately, Lu Yinbing was not really a little cabbage in the field that no one loved or cared for. Xia Yitong was angry with her at first, but when she saw that she was being squeezed by the two children, her heart softened and she even stood up for her. What was she standing up for? She said that the two children were too ignorant to bully their mother like this!
The child didn't understand either, so he smiled happily when he saw her, but still had a sour face when he saw Lu Yinbing.
Xia Yitong had no idea. Lu Yinbing was so worried that she pulled out a bunch of her hair while eating dinner. After a long while, she raised her hesitant eyes from her bowl and said, "How about I perform another Haha laugh for them?"
Xia Yitong almost choked on the soup in her throat.
Lu Yinbing put down his chopsticks and discussed with her in a low voice: "Do you think it's not okay?"
Xia Yitong: "... To be honest, I think he's crazy."
Lu Yinbing: “…”
Xia Yitong: "It's better not to provoke them."
Lu Yinbing sighed and said, "If the children were not too young to watch TV, I would show them the movies I acted in. I don't believe they won't like me."
She was in a low mood, so Xia Yitong quickly followed her words and praised her, "Yes, yes, you are loved by everyone and everyone who sees your movies will become your die-hard fan. Shall we go to the movies tonight?"
"That child..."
"There is a confinement nanny."
Lu Yinbing was still hesitating. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't coax the child well.
Xia Yitong said: "It's just a world for two of us."
Lu Yinbing was silent for a moment and nodded: "A world for two."
Let’s talk about it tomorrow. The kids are forgetful and they might forget about it tomorrow.
After dinner, the two children were taken to bed early by the confinement nanny. Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong turned on the projector in another room, and a foreign popcorn movie was played. As two people working in the film industry, they would occasionally watch such mindless movies to change their mood.
Ten minutes into the movie, all of the protagonist's comrades died. Amid the somewhat sad music, Lu Yinbing said, "I seem to hear a baby crying."
Xia Yitong said: "If she cries, Xiao Liu will comfort her. If she can't be comforted, she will come over."
Lu Yinbing: “Oh.”
In less than ten minutes, she leaned on the pillow and changed three positions. In the movie, the hero met a comrade who had escaped by chance. The tacit understanding between the two created a small climax of face-slapping. Lu Yinbing said, "Xiao Liu won't bully the baby, right?"
Xia Yitong: "She has been working in our house for more than half a year."
Lu Yinbing: "Let me check the surveillance."
There is a surveillance camera installed in the baby room, which is connected to the mobile phone software. It looks very convenient. In the next ten minutes, the male protagonist of the movie and his comrades were framed and locked up. He used eloquent words to get the other party to let him out.
Xia Yitong pressed the pause button.
It took Lu Yinbing a full minute to realize that she had turned off the movie, and the projection was dark. Xia Yitong stood up and tapped Lu Yinbing's forehead, "If you're worried about the child, go outside and take a look. There's nothing to see in the surveillance."
She pinched the edge of the case with two fingers and pulled the phone out of Lu Yinbing's hand: "Let's go."
Lu Yinbing jumped up from the tatami.
The two walked to the baby room one after the other. Both children were awake and were crawling on the thick and soft carpet. To be exact, only Xia Lu was crawling. Lu Xia still had the look of not moving if he could sit still, and he was unshakable.
Lu Yinbing frowned as he looked at her: "We need to exercise her. If she can't digest what she eats every day, what should we do about her obesity? I'll make her exercise myself tomorrow."
Xia Yitong hummed softly.
Looking at Xia Lu again, Xia Lu was no longer satisfied with crawling. She propped up her short arms on the carpet, raised her buttocks high, used her legs to push herself down, and then lay down. Whether she lay down or not was another matter, but this posture clearly showed that she wanted to stand up. For a child who was only eight months old, her development was already ahead of her time.
Lu Yinbing found a small chair in the corner of the room that was at the height of Xia Lu's shoulders. She slowly walked over, her lips tightened, and placed the chair in front of Xia Lu. Then she reached her hand under Xia Lu's armpit and easily adjusted her to the height that she had been trying to reach for a long time.
She stood up, but her position was unsteady. Her short legs were weak and limp. If Lu Yinbing let go of her hand, she would fall down, even though she was smart enough to hold on to the chair with both hands.
Xia Lu raised her head with a large shadow above her head. She seemed to recognize that this person was the one who scared her at noon, but she did not cry. Perhaps it was because the other person's eyes were too gentle and the breath he exuded was too kind. Xia Lu opened her mouth and called out twice vaguely and meaninglessly. She was not angry, but almost laughing.
Lu Yinbing changed his posture, walked around behind her, gave up the chair, and began to teach her how to use her legs to move forward step by step. Her eyelashes drooped, and the chandelier above her head cast a soft halo on her. He was so patient and never tired of it.
Lu Xia was lying down, blinking her eyes curiously. Although she was lazy, she was unwilling to admit defeat. She sat up and crawled quickly towards Lu Yinbing, who was teaching Xia Lu how to walk.
A force came from her ankle and Lu Yinbing was startled. How could this child be so fast? She was just a few meters away from her, and she came over in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yinbing doesn't have four hands to teach two children, so of course she couldn't teach them all. Without her saying anything, Xia Yitong followed suit and picked up Lu Xialou, put her hands under her armpits, and learned to take steps.
Teaching children is strenuous work. When the two children stopped walking because they were tired, they were all sweaty and wanted to go back to take a shower. The children started crying when they left them. Finally, after they coaxed them to sleep, the two tiptoed out of the baby room.
Lu Yinbing hummed a little tune as she turned on the shower. The hot water poured directly from her face to her feet. She shook her hair and sang the lyrics: "Today, we ordinary people are so happy."
"Are you satisfied to see that you don't cry, second brother?" Xia Yitong squeezed shampoo, put foam on her head, and said with a smile.
The water rushed into his eyes and made him feel uncomfortable. Lu Yinbing raised his head, closed his eyes, and shook his head, saying, "The Great Wall was not built in a day. You have to eat one bite at a time. Comrade, I have seen the dawn of revolution."
Soon, she said sarcastically, "You don't know, when Xia Lao Er saw me leaving just now, he cried so hard, his tears were really as big as beans, this is what separation of flesh and blood is like."
"Yes, yes, you are the best." She finally regained her self-esteem, and Xia Yitong had to add fuel to her rising arrogance.
"That's right." Lu Yinbing said, "I told you, a mere child can really defeat me?"
Xia Yitong flattered her: "Yes, yes, yes, who are you? Lower your head a little."
Lu Yinbing lowered his head a little, and his feet began to float as he listened to Xia Yitong's words: "Tell me who I am?"
Xia Yitong thought to herself, who else could you be? My lover. But she praised you profusely: "You are a handsome and elegant fairy from heaven, and you are admired by people from all over the world... You are Lu Yinbing, a homely expert who can handle affairs of state, the kitchen, and the baby's room."
Lu Yinbing smiled and said, "Excuse me, excuse me."
That posture looked a bit embarrassing.
Xia Yitong was the one who really smiled when she saw her. Fortunately, she closed her eyes and let her massage her scalp so she couldn't see her expression, otherwise she would have scolded her. Xia Yitong was satisfied with the little homemaker's service, so she took a quick shower and followed Lu Yinbing into bed.
The two bodies, which had just finished a bath and were warm, hugged each other naked, sighing twice in comfort. These two days, Xia Yitong had devoted all her attention to the child, and reminded Lu Yinbing: "Mother Xue called me in the afternoon and said that she would bring our father over for dinner in the evening."
"Why did you call your number instead of mine?" Whenever Lu Yinbing had nothing to do, he would ask about even the smallest details.
"It was you who was called. You claimed that you were thinking about your failed life and asked me to answer the phone for you." Xia Yitong said, "I told you again after I answered the phone, but you were absent-minded at the time and I guess you didn't take it to heart. Now I'll tell you again."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go to the supermarket to buy groceries tomorrow."
Xia Yitong went over recent events in her mind and didn't realize there were any other important matters, except for one not-so-important one. She felt a little guilty.
"Teacher Lu." Xia Yitong pushed Lu Yinbing, who was drowsy and had his eyes half closed.
"Hmm?" Lu Yinbing looked at her lazily with his eyes squinted.
"That's it..." Xia Yitong whispered, "When we called Sister Su Han yesterday, she said that Xue's mother had a backache and suggested that she should be more restrained. Should we be honest?"
It was just a prank. It would be great if it really affected Xue Yao's night life. She had just tasted the joy of sex after more than 40 years. She had not yet tasted the sweetness, so she had to restrain herself. If it was Lu Yinbing, she would have turned the house upside down.
Lu Yinbing yawned and said, "Whatever. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I'm really sleepy. Let's go to sleep first, dear."
"Yeah." Xia Yitong frowned, slid his hand under the quilt, found Lu Yinbing's fingers and clasped them, then leaned on her shoulder and fell asleep.
…
Su Han got off work on time for the third day. He had dinner outside with his new girlfriend, and when he got home, the two of them were sweet and talk about work for a while... Then, they took a shower and climbed into bed.
Su Han took a shower first, and Xue Yao took one later. When they got in naked, they found that Su Han was actually wearing clothes, just like last night, in pajamas, with long sleeves and long pants.
Xue Yao had a stern face. The boss tried to take off her clothes unhappily. Su Han held her hand and looked at her deeply.
Xue Yao didn't understand what was going on, so she broke free from her hand and tried to grab it again. Su Han held her down again and said, "Wait a few days."
Xue Yao was restrained at first, but now she said with a straight face, "You refused last night, and there are still two days to go. Are you hiding something from me?"
Su Han said, "No, I don't feel well." She felt that with Xue Yao's personality, she would definitely not admit that her body couldn't take it. She hadn't had this kind of experience for so many years, so it was normal for her desire to be stronger, but she couldn't ignore her body because of desire. Su Han thought about it and took the blame on herself.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"… Stomach." Su Han thought about it and finally decided that this organ that most people in the workplace have problems with is immediately malfunctioning.
"Do you often skip breakfast?"
“… No, I don’t eat it occasionally.”
"I told you that you can't skip breakfast. Bring your food here and I'll watch you eat every morning."
"good."
The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms. Su Han was distracted by the fact that the other person was hugging her and her body was obviously warmer than usual. However, she remembered Xia Yitong's words and did not dare to touch Xue Yao. She didn't know how long she stayed awake before she felt a little sleepy.
