Chapter 1279: Wives and Concubines in Full Bloom, Children Surrounding Him
Pan Xiaoting carefully placed her son, whom she was holding in her arms, on the bed, and then gently pulled a thin blanket over his waist and abdomen. Her movements were so tender.
Then, she quickly walked over to her god-sister, Mu Xueman, took the insulated lunchbox, and asked with a smile, "Have you and Jun'er finished breakfast?"
Mu Xueman replied with a smile, "I've already eaten."
"Then I'm going to have some fish soup." Pan Xiaoting smiled and turned around, placing the insulated lunchbox next to the bedside table and eagerly opening the lid.
A rich and fresh aroma instantly filled the air.
Pan Xiaoting took a deep breath, her eyes lighting up: "Wow, it smells so good! It's so fresh and delicious, there's not a trace of fishiness!"
"Xiaoting, drink the fish soup while it's hot. I'll help you take care of the baby." Mu Xueman's tone was gentle and considerate.
"Okay!" Pan Xiaoting smiled sweetly, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of fish soup, and put it in her mouth.
The fresh yet not greasy flavor spreads on the tip of the tongue, and the warm soup slides down the throat into the stomach. The warmth instantly spreads from the heart to the limbs and bones, and even the fatigue of postpartum confinement dissipates.
She couldn't help but squint and sigh, "This fish soup is just the right amount of freshness, and it's smooth and creamy!"
"The more you taste it, the more refreshing it becomes; one bite and you feel incredibly comfortable all over!"
"If you like it, I'll make it for you another day." As Mu Xueman spoke, she walked to the bedside and gently sat down on the edge of the bed.
A sweet and radiant smile appeared on her face as she leaned down to look tenderly at the little baby on the bed, coaxing him softly, "Can'er, look who's here! Do you remember Aunt Mu?"
As she spoke, she gently tapped the little guy's round belly with her fingertip, her smile widening.
"Oh, this little guy, his tummy is so round and bulging, he must have just finished drinking milk and eating. Come here, let Aunt Mu give him a kiss."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Xueman leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Xiao Haocan's soft little face.
The little one seemed amused by the gentle touch and immediately started babbling and moving his little arms and legs.
Her little hands clenched into pink fists and waved them around, while her little feet lightly tapped against the thin blanket.
Her big, dark eyes curved into little crescents, and her soft and cute appearance made people's hearts melt.
"Little cutie, you and Haojun look so alike when you were little! Grow up quickly so you can play with your brother Haojun." Mu Xueman teased the little baby with a smile.
On the other side, Lin Lang held Lin Haojun in his arms, pinched his little arms and legs with his fingertips, and teased him with a smile: "You little rascal, you've gotten heavier again, and you look taller too. You'll be a little man soon."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Haojun immediately puffed out his little chest and replied in a childish voice, "Father, I'm already a little man. I'll grow up to be a big man soon!"
"Hahaha, what a little man!" Lin Lang laughed heartily, his eyes full of doting affection, amused by his son's appearance.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Haojun swung his legs and urged, "Father, put me down quickly, I want to play with my little brother and give him my present!"
Lin Lang smiled and agreed, then carefully placed his son on the ground.
As soon as Xiao Haojun landed, he immediately took off with his short legs and rushed to the bedside.
Seeing Hao Can, who was not even a month old, Xiao Hao Jun breathed softly and said with bright eyes, "Mother, my little brother is so small!"
"Silly boy, you weren't as chubby as your little brother when you were less than a month old!" Mu Xueman patted her son's head.
Xiao Haojun held up the plush bear in front of Xiao Haocan, gently shook it, and said in a soft, joyful voice, "Little brother, look, isn't this a cute gift your brother brought you?"
Do you like it?
When Xiao Haocan saw the swaying plush bear on the bed, his big, dark eyes lit up instantly.
Children have no resistance to plush toys.
Xiao Haocan seemed to be attracted by this soft little thing, or perhaps he was filled with curiosity about everything unknown.
His little head turned gently following the little bear, his little hands stretched upwards with all his might, his little arms swaying as he tried his best to grab the little bear.
Seeing this, Xiao Haojun slowed down the shaking speed, brought the teddy bear closer, and gently touched Xiao Haocan's little hand from time to time.
"Good luck, little brother, you can catch it!"
Xiao Haocan's little hands finally touched the ears of the plush bear, and he immediately gripped them tightly. His babbling was full of joy, and his little feet kicked even more enthusiastically.
When Xiao Haojun saw how much his younger brother liked the plush bear, he couldn't help but smile with his eyes crinkling.
He lay by the bed, quietly playing with Xiao Haocan, occasionally reaching out to gently touch his little face; the scene was warm and harmonious.
Mu Xueman sat on the edge of the bed looking at the baby, then subconsciously touched her slightly protruding belly, as if she was pregnant with her second child.
Lin Lang stood to the side, looking at the harmonious family in front of him, his eyes filled with warmth.
He suddenly noticed Mu Xueman gently stroking her lower abdomen, and a system notification sound immediately appeared in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. Mu Xueman is currently pregnant with her second child with you. She is three and a half months pregnant and carrying a healthy baby girl. Your college beauty and white moonlight will now have both a son and a daughter, and your life will be complete."
Upon receiving the system notification, Lin Lang's face immediately lit up with a gentle smile, and he leaned in to kiss Mu Xueman on the cheek.
"Honey, are you still experiencing morning sickness?"
Mu Xueman turned to look at Lin Lang and said with a gentle smile, "Once I passed 12 weeks of pregnancy, I stopped having morning sickness. Now I can eat and sleep well."
Lin Lang pulled Mu Xueman into his arms, leaned down and kissed the top of her head, coaxing, "My dear concubine, what do you crave most during your pregnancy? I must satisfy your cravings."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Mu Xueman hugged Lin Lang's waist and snuggled into his arms, saying coquettishly, "I want to eat sweet and sour fruit, and I also want to eat spicy hot pot."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lang immediately remembered that he still had some washed wild fruits from Changbai Mountain in his personal space.
"Ta-da! Transform!"
As if by magic, Lin Lang took out several boxes of wild fruits of different colors from Changbai Mountain from his personal space.
"Wow, honey, what kind of fruit is this? I don't think I've ever eaten it before!" Mu Xueman curiously picked up a bright red hawthorn.
Lin Lang replied, "These are wild crabapples from Changbai Mountain. Many southerners have never even seen them, let alone eaten them."
"Then I must try it." Mu Xueman chuckled, picked up a small red hawthorn fruit, put it in her mouth, and chewed it gently. The unique taste of sweet and sour was very refreshing and appetizing.
"Wow, these little red berries are so delicious during pregnancy! They're sweet and sour!" Mu Xueman's smiling eyes were so beautiful.
Lin Lang said indulgently, "Try some other wild fruits from Changbai Mountain."
Mu Xueman smiled sweetly and ate another raspberry. She immediately exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, "Wow, this is the taste of my childhood! One bite of sweet and sour takes me back to my childhood. When I was a child, my parents and I went to Changbai Mountain for a trip and ate these wild raspberries while climbing the mountain."
After hearing this, Pan Xiaoting put down her soup spoon, leaned over, pouted, and said coquettishly, "Honey, you're being unfair! Why didn't you buy me any wild fruits from Changbai Mountain while I was pregnant?"
Lin Lang coaxed with a smile, "Didn't I let you eat this during your postpartum period? Come and try it."
Just then, Xiao Haojun also came over upon hearing the noise and said curiously, "Father, I want to eat wild fruits from Changbai Mountain too."
"Okay, eat up." Lin Lang handed a whole box of fuzz-free soft-fleshed kiwifruit to his son.
Without saying a word, Xiao Haojun grabbed a wild soft-fleshed kiwi and started eating it. The soft, juicy, sweet and sour taste instantly won over the little guy.
"Delicious, so delicious!" Xiao Haojun, like a little glutton, was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the kiwi.
Mu Xueman smiled and reached out to pat her son's head, saying softly, "Jun'er, eat slowly, be careful not to get the juice on your clothes."
"Yes, Mother, you should eat too." Xiao Haojun thoughtfully picked up a wild kiwi and handed it to Mu Xueman.
"Thank you, son." Mu Xueman took the small kiwi fruit she was seeing for the first time, tasted it, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Wow, Xiaoting, you should try this too! It looks like a date, but it's actually a kiwi! It doesn't have any fuzz on the surface, and I've never seen it sold in fruit shops." Mu Xueman exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent.
Pan Xiaoting had just finished eating a sweet and sour raspberry and exclaimed, "This is the little red wild fruit that I longed for when I was a child. In my hometown, we call it 'Meng'er'. I haven't eaten it since I grew up."
Lin Lang said with a smile, "Every place has a different name for wild raspberries, but they are all childhood memories for those who have eaten them."
Lin Lang also ate a raspberry, and its melt-in-your-mouth sweetness instantly won over his taste buds. "Raspberries and raspberries look very similar, but I prefer the tender texture and sweet and sour taste of raspberries."
Mu Xueman smiled sweetly and charmingly, "I can't tell the difference between raspberries and wild strawberries anymore."
Pan Xiaoting replied with a smile, "They're easy to tell apart. Raspberries look like little lanterns, and raspberries look like little pearls."
Xiao Haojun picked up a raspberry, tasted it, and found it delicious. He then picked up another raspberry and said, "Aunt Pan, can I feed my little brother one?"
Pan Xiaoting quickly replied with a smile, "No, your little brother is too small now, he can only drink milk! Jun'er, you should eat by yourself."
"Oh," Xiao Haojun responded, and continued eating like a little foodie.
Little Haocan, lying on the bed, played with his little hands for a while, making "ee-ee-ya-ya" sounds. Suddenly, no one was around to play with him anymore. The little guy pouted his little mouth and then burst into tears.
Her soft, sweet voice, tinged with a hint of aggrieved sobs, tugged at the heartstrings with every whimper.
Upon hearing the crying, Pan Xiaoting immediately put down the wild fruit she was holding and quickly walked to the bedside, bending down to gently lift her son off the bed.
She cradled her son's bottom with one hand and supported his back with the other, gently rocking him in her arms and soothingly saying, "Oh dear, my darling son, why are you crying?"
"Do you miss your mother?"
"Mommy's here, don't cry, don't cry, be good."
Xiao Haocan was wrapped in a familiar embrace, his big eyes darting around as he looked at Pan Xiaoting, and his aggrieved crying stopped abruptly.
The next second, the little guy grinned with his toothless mouth and giggled, nuzzling his head against Pan Xiaoting's chest, looking adorable and clingy.
Lin Lang was holding a bright purple indigo fruit in his hand. Seeing this, he smiled and walked over, raising his hand to feed the fruit to Pan Xiaoting's mouth.
Pan Xiaoting opened her mouth and took a bite. The sweet and sour, soft and glutinous fruit flavor gently rippled on the tip of her tongue and then spread throughout her mouth, even her breath was tinged with sweetness.
Then, Lin Lang gently touched his son's chubby little face with his fingertip and teased him with a soft laugh: "What's wrong, sweetie? Are you upset because nobody's paying attention to you?"
The little guy's attention wasn't on Lin Lang's words at all. His big eyes were fixed on Pan Xiaoting's chewing of wild fruit, and his little mouth followed along, smacking his lips in a greedy manner. He looked both hungry and adorable.
Lin Lang, itching to try it, simply handed the half-eaten blueberry that Pan Xiaoting had bitten to Xiao Haocan's mouth, letting him gently lick it with his tongue and taste the sweet and sour juice.
At that moment, Xiao Haocan's eyes lit up like stars, and he kicked his little feet even more enthusiastically, wanting to lean in and lick it a few more times.
Pan Xiaoting quickly patted Lin Lang's hand and scolded, "Husband, what are you doing? Don't mess around! Our son is so young, his stomach is still delicate. How can we let him taste these flavors? He might not like drinking milk anymore."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll tease our son, alright?" Lin Lang laughed and quickly stopped, then fed the remaining half of the blueberry fruit back into Pan Xiaoting's mouth.
Xiao Haocan was so hungry that he put his little hand in his mouth and sucked on his fingers, which made Pan Xiaoting laugh.
