MGASC -Chapter 185 Just a Little Cuter Than Me

In the morning, many friends came one after another to see Zhang Qiao and the baby.

When Yingzi and Chen Gang arrived, Lin Tianyue was holding Xia Xia and feeding her with a bottle.

Yingzi leaned in close, excitedly watching Xia Xia’s adorable little face while she drank: “Oh my god, this little girl is too cute! Seeing her makes me want to have a daughter right away!”

Chen Gang looked at his girlfriend: “Alright then, let’s just go get married, and then have a baby.”

Yingzi rolled her eyes at him: “In your dreams!”

Chen Gang had never seen Lin Tianyue as a dad before: “Brother Yue, I’m really impressed. The way you hold the baby is so professional!”

Lin Tianyue, however, looked disgusted and twisted his body away: “Get away from my daughter. Both of you, go wash your hands. Make sure you lather the soap well, or no one touches my daughter!”

Chen Gang stepped back two paces: “Seriously, Brother Yue? Isn’t that a bit much?”

Yingzi, being sensible, pulled him toward the sink: “It’s necessary, it’s necessary!”

There were several bars of soap at the sink. Chen Gang rolled up his sleeves and reached for one, but Lin Tianyue, still holding the baby, chased after him: “Don’t touch that one—that’s for Qiao Qiao.”

So he had to pick another bar.

“That one’s no good either—that’s for washing my daughter’s diapers.”

Chen Gang: “Wait, even the diaper soap I can’t use?”

“No, absolutely not! And keep your voice down, no swearing!”

Chen Gang: Who is this guy? Where is he? What is he trying to do?

It’s just a daughter—why’s he suddenly so dramatic?!

Grumbling, Chen Gang washed his hands and went to Zhang Qiao to vent: “Sister-in-law, I can’t take it. Brother—he’s never had a daughter in his entire life, right? Why’s he so particular?”

Yingzi, holding her fragrant hands while interacting with Xia Xia, kicked Chen Gang lightly: “You don’t understand. Brother Yue is a good man!”

She gave Lin Tianyue a thumbs up: “Brother Yue, you’re amazing! It’s only the second day, and I think Qiao Qiao isn’t even as professional as you at taking care of the baby!”

Zhang Qiao could only laugh and cry at the same time—she thought Lin Tianyue was a bit over the top.

So dramatic—will he end up keeping everyone eight feet away from his daughter in the future?

Right after Chen Gang and Yingzi left, Jin Quan brought Lin Xun, Lin Ran, and Lin Jin over. Not only the three of them, but Zhou Junlin also came with Xiao Xiao to see her little sister.

It was the first time all the kids were meeting their new sister. Under Lin Tianyue’s supervision, they washed their hands before approaching the crib to look at her.

Lin Jin: “Wow… little sister is so soft and tiny. I don’t even dare touch her!”

He reached out a little hand toward her face.

Lin Ran quickly grabbed his little paw: “Don’t even dare if you’re not going to! Be careful or she’ll cry at you!”

But Xia Xia didn’t cry at all—she even smiled beautifully, tugging at her little mouth.

Lin Ran was stunned: “Look! Look! Xia Xia’s smiling. Xia Xia, wait, I’ll buy you some candy later. Dad, can she eat candy now?”

Lin Tianyue: “Go away!”

Lin Xun pulled Lin Ran back: “Watch out—your drool is about to get on Xia Xia’s face.”

He actually listened to his dad, kept his distance, didn’t touch or mess with her, and carefully observed Xia Xia’s tiny features.

Zhou Junlin teased him: “Lin Xun, who’s cuter, our Xiao Xiao or your Xia Xia?”

Lin Xun thought seriously and paused.

Zhou Xiaoxiao got a little anxious: “Come on, Brother Lin Xun, just say it. I won’t get mad.”

Hmm… really won’t get mad?

Lin Xun glanced at Xiao Xiao and said earnestly: “I think Xia Xia is cuter. Uh… because she’s still little. Xiao Xiao, we’re the older siblings, we should let the little sister have her way.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled: “Of course. I also think Xia Xia is very cute. Just… a little cuter than me, maybe.”

Lin Xun smiled.

He thought Xiao Xiao’s answer was perfect—much smarter than his own.

Outside, Zhou Junlin chatted with Lin Tianyue: “Have you decided on a name for the baby?”

“Yes, Qiao Qiao picked it. Her name is Lin Shuxia.”

Zhou Junlin considered it: “Shu as in the character with the female radical?”

“Yes.”

“‘Quiet maiden, graceful in winter, refreshing in summer.’ Little Zhang really put thought into this name—it’s very thoughtful.”

Lin Tianyue was a little confused, but Zhou Junlin was learned, so if he approved, then it must be good.

Also, Lin Shuxia sounded pretty smooth when said a few times.

“Tianyue, now that Qiao Qiao has given birth, you must be busy. Xiao Xiao won’t attend tutoring at home for now. I’ve arranged for her to enroll in Jiangcheng first, to study here for a year or two. The teaching quality in Jiangcheng is better than the county. If you and Qiao Qiao will be living here long-term, you should try to transfer kids to the city school eventually.”

Lin Tianyue knew Zhou Junlin had their best interests at heart, and quickly agreed: “Yes, Qiao Qiao and I were thinking the same.”

“Right, people always strive for better. Kids are the same. Those three children have good potential. If you cultivate them well, they’ll surely achieve great things.”

Lin Xun came out with a cup of tea for Zhou Junlin: “Uncle Zhou, Xiao Xiao is coming to Jiangcheng to study?”

“Yes,” Zhou Junlin replied warmly. “She’ll attend Nancheng Primary School. Lin Xun, you focus on studying. Later, your father will arrange for you to transfer here as well.”

Lin Xun didn’t respond, just glanced at Lin Tianyue.

Lin Tianyue immediately decided: “We’ll do it! I’ll inquire about the transfer procedure in a few days!”

“Dad, no rush.”

“You’re not in a hurry, but your mom and I are. Running between the county and city is exhausting!”

Lin Xun finally smiled happily: “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll make sure my younger brother studies for the finals and won’t embarrass you.”

“Good.”

Lin Tianyue patted his son’s head and added transferring the kids to the city school to their new plans.

In the afternoon, Aunt Liu came from the county to see Zhang Qiao.

She had specially prepared pig’s trotters soup for her. When she heard Zhang Qiao still hadn’t produced milk, she enthusiastically offered to help her with lactation.

Aunt Liu had Lin Tianyue bring a basin of hot water and a clean towel.

She tested the water temperature and said it wasn’t hot enough. Lin Tianyue kept adding more hot water until it was scalding, and only then did she approve.

The water was so hot that even Lin Tianyue worriedly looked at Zhang Qiao: “Aunt Liu, isn’t it too hot?”

Zhang Qiao was normally sensitive to heat—she needed food and drink to be warm, not scalding.

Lin Tianyue felt a little protective—he thought formula feeding was fine, so Zhang Qiao could rest properly, and the baby would be full, sleep soundly, and be easy to care for.

So he didn’t insist on breastfeeding, but Zhang Qiao cared a lot about it. Because she had no milk, she had been anxious these past two days.

Aunt Liu tested the temperature: “Not too hot. It has to be hot—just a little—to work!”
