Chapter 1828 - 1808:
"Yours, yours, your son, take him away. Mo and I have been playing the role of parents, looking after him for so long. He’s grown all chubby and white, what more do you want?"
Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Honestly, she thought these people had a bit too wild of an imagination. At least she couldn’t imagine the possibility of this child being hers.
After all, when her sisters-in-law gave birth, they went through all sorts of check-ups, terrified of any issues. Is she a seer who can predict her own child being safe?
Looking at Lin Jiayou’s face, filled with disdain, she remarked, "This is the elixir for bathing, this is the baby formula, and this is the water he drinks."
"Isn’t it unnecessary by now? It’s almost resolved; the issue of residual toxins can’t be completely handled yet." Mo looked at the bottle of water, shaking his head helplessly, but honestly, he’s already used all his patience on this child. He can’t guarantee that he’d have this kind of patience with his own child in the future.
Luo Qianqian was even more exasperated: "And Fourth Brother, please, if you’re going to guess wildly, at least make some sense, okay? I show up every month, so how could I have a child? Do you think I’m a dog, popping out a litter within dozens of days?"
"Exactly, hurry up and start cooking." Qin Nuan awkwardly pulled Luo Yanran away. She was too embarrassed to admit she initially thought the same way...
"My son..." Lin Jiayou held Lin Nianan, unsure of how to hold him properly, completely at a loss.
Upon closer inspection, he indeed looked a bit like the child in the photos Luo Qianqian brought home, just seemingly a tad chubbier... Is the food here this good?
"Nianan?" Cong Ying also stepped out, seeing Lin Jiayou cradling the child in a different way, immediately recognized him, her eyes lighting up: "She really did look a bit like this as a child..."
Lin Jiayou stared at Cong Ying in shock. While Cong Ying is friends with the Eldest Princess, claiming to know what she looked like as a child was a bit too much, wasn’t it?
"These eyes, and those ears, they look quite similar." Cong Ying took Xiao Nianan from Lin Jiayou with a face full of nostalgia, affection unmistakably overflowing, genuinely doting on the child.
"By the way... the child’s teething." Luo Qianqian turned to Qin Nuan, full of frustration: "I don’t know if it’s due to the medication we gave him having a maturing effect, I’ve noticed his tiny teeth starting to poke through."
"Teething..." Qin Nuan was even more dumbfounded.
Her own son was teething now and they were in the middle of weaning him. Although... he hadn’t had much breast milk, he only moved to drinking milk when it was unbearably engorged.
Everyone in the courtyard exchanged confused glances, unsure how to resolve this issue.
"Why not take him for a check-up?" If it’s just the child, Tang Guo could also take him out, which would be fine because Luo Xinyue is there, and there wouldn’t be any issues.
"There’s definitely no problem with his health, you can rest assured." Mo quickly said.
After all, if there were any health problems, how could he still be so chubby? His mental state was also great, not like someone with any issues.
"How do the parents introduce supplementary foods?" Qin Nuan asked Luo Yanran.
"Fruit purée, baby biscuits, and some flavored mashed potatoes are being introduced." Luo Yanran quickly replied, "I’ll make him some mashed potatoes later."
"No salt, though. Just make fruit purée, and maybe bring some baby food next time you deliver supplies." Qin Nuan immediately suggested.
Considering they too were parents, among the bunch of clueless newbies here, they at least had a bigger say.
At this point, He Wenyu arrived, panting, ready to speak, only to see Luo Qianqian and open her eyes wide: "I went looking for you earlier and saw you were gone. I thought something happened..."
She had waited for the abnormality to vanish before checking it out. Knowing her own strength, even if something had happened, she would have only been a hindrance.
But after getting there, she found... the cave was empty, and panicked, not knowing what to do, she rushed over.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you..." Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue: "I thought you’d come over first thing in the morning."
Seeing the old man wasn’t there, cooking alone was so dull, wasn’t it?
"Eh? Nianan?" He Wenyu, about to roll her eyes at Luo Qianqian, saw the child in Cong Ying’s arms, her eyes widening: "In just a few days, didn’t he get a bit chubbier?"
"Just in time, help make some baby food for him..." Luo Qianqian looked innocent: "I can only provide fresh fruits for situations like these."
"Do we need you for that?" Qin Nuan rolled her eyes, exasperated. Fresh supplies were transported here daily, weren’t they? After all... they only consumed fresh produce.
Luo Qianqian shrugged, helplessly: "It’s good enough if I’m not causing trouble."
Mo nodded with a smile: "Right, where is the teacher?"
"The old man has gone somewhere unknown, he won’t be here for the next few days." He Wenyu shrugged, nodding towards Luo Qianqian: "But I think it’s connected to her poisoning, right?"
After all, the Heaven Class was severely injured this time...
First Ba Tu was dealt with by Luo Qianqian, then Uncle He was taken care of by Tie Xi, one unable to move, the other barely awake.
Mo raised his eyebrows at Luo Qianqian: "You didn’t mention anything?"
"No one’s going to die, they’ll recover soon." Luo Qianqian nonchalantly retorted: "But I guess our class has a notorious reputation now, and no one would dare provoke us."
"... After the next monthly assessment, you guys would have just completed three months, that’s when your academy life really begins." Mo smiled, not explaining further, ignoring the two puzzled looks, turned his attention to helping care for the child.
They had been the ones with the child during this period, more than Lin Jiayou, the father, or Cong Ying, the stranger.
He Wenyu voiced her peculiar feelings, nudging Luo Qianqian’s arm: "It feels annoying when they state half and leave half unsaid, right?"
Luo Qianqian nodded in agreement, although she understood something must be up. Otherwise, Mo wouldn’t have spoken like that. Mo always chose to speak only when necessary, never spoken about things unnecessarily or things harmful for them to know.
Thus, they all braced themselves with seriousness.
"By the way, is he okay after coming out?" He Wenyu anxiously inquired.
"Well... He graduated." Luo Qianqian nodded, looking curiously at Mo: "Just not sure where he’s going to live now?"
