My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

City A has officially entered winter, and a layer of fog hangs over the entire city.

Wow, it's snowing!

Today brought the first snowfall of the year. The landscape was blanketed in white, a breathtaking sight.

When Le Bao woke up, her mother was no longer there.

The house has underfloor heating, so even though it's freezing outside, people inside are still wearing only a single layer of clothing.

Pulling back the warm blankets, the chubby boy sat on the bed, spacing out for a while. His shirt was rolled up to his chest, revealing his round little belly.

After clearing his mind, the little guy, barefoot, opened the door to the room.

After the Shen family moved to City A, they laid carpets on the floors of their house and wrapped anti-collision strips around the corners of tables, walls, and other areas.

Ever since they witnessed the little fat boy's mischievousness, the Shen family no longer dared to confidently say that the little guy was a well-behaved and sensible child.

But this did not stop her cuteness from winning everyone's hearts, and everyone still doted on her.

There seemed to be voices coming from the next room. Le Bao slowly approached the room from which the sounds were coming, straining to hear them.

"I told you, don't bother me unless it's important. I've finally finished dealing with a few cases, and I don't want to take on any more for the time being. I'm going on vacation. That's all, bye."

On the bed, Shen Shilan was still lying on the bed, without even lifting the blanket, making a phone call while lying on her side.

He arrived late last night, and everyone in his family was asleep when he got back. Fortunately, a maid was left to wait for him.

Back when he was preparing to come to City A, Tang Wanning had told him that it was very cold in City A and that he should wear more clothes.

But he was used to the sweltering heat of the port city and figured he could just add another jacket; how cold could he get? Besides, he always paid attention to dressing well and didn't want to be bundled up like a dumpling.

So when he got off the plane and walked out of the airport, a biting cold wind hit him, making him shiver instantly. He hunched his shoulders and jumped into his car.

It's so cold in City A!

However, he was in good physical condition, and with the car's heater on, he didn't get too much cold air on his way to the villa.

He went straight to sleep after getting home, and was not woken up by a phone call until the morning.

"Uncle?"

Le Bao listened at the door for a long time, clinging to the door of the room, but didn't go in. He just stood at the door and stuck his head in.

"Le Bao? You're awake! Come to your uncle's place."

She wasn't sure if it was her uncle at first, but when she saw Shen Shilan turn around, she was certain.

Upon seeing who it was, she became less reserved and ran to the bedside, where Shen Shilan pulled her into his arms.

Holding his soft, sweet-smelling niece, Shen Shilan took a few deep breaths.

He misses her so much, his big, chubby niece.

"Uncle, where is the debt?"

Le Bao pushed away her uncle, who was holding her and trying to bite the soft flesh on her cheek.

Sigh, I'm so tired. It's all because I'm too cute.

"Because your uncle missed you, he came over last night. Aren't you happy?"

Shen Shilan wasn't in a hurry to get up and continued to lie in bed with her niece in her arms.

A warm bed, a soft baby, and parents and family downstairs—this is the life a person should live!

I think about the days he spent alone in the port city. It was simply inhuman.

After a long day of hard work, he would come home to find himself all alone, with no one to talk to. The emptiness was profound, and he felt a deep sense of emptiness in his heart.

Fortunately, he finally finished the backlog of cases. He didn't even go home, and flew to City A overnight.

"I'm so happy."

Le Bao, a tiny little girl, was held in her uncle's arms, and she reached out to touch her uncle's newly grown stubble.

It's itchy and a little prickly.

Seeing that she was having a great time, Shen Shilan used the stubble on his face to tickle her cheek.

"Hahaha, it tickles."

Le Bao laughed loudly, dodging his uncle's outstretched face, and rolled around in the blankets.

The uncle and grandson played around in bed for a while before slowly getting up, getting ready, and going downstairs for breakfast.

The people downstairs were already eating, and when they saw the two of them come down, they invited them to eat.

Shen Shilan had finally seen his niece, and he wouldn't let go of her no matter what. He asked the maid to put the baby chair next to him so he could feed the little one breakfast.

The others exchanged a knowing glance, and none of them uttered a sound, all adopting a "let's watch the show" attitude.

During her few days in the port city, Shen Shilan hadn't yet seen the little guy's true colors, so let her teach this newly arrived uncle a lesson.

"Ah, come here, let your uncle feed you a bite."

Shen Shilan picked up the still steaming bowl of white porridge, blew on it, and fed it to Le Bao.

The little chubby girl is at the age where she craves good food, and she no longer likes plain porridge; she prefers flavorful food.

When Le Bao saw the white porridge in his uncle's spoon, he hesitated for a few seconds before opening his mouth and eating it.

Thinking to myself, since my uncle has just arrived, I should give him some face.

Seeing that his niece ate the food he fed her very well, Shen Shilan's confidence soared. He told her that his niece was a very easy baby to take care of, not as difficult as his younger sister had described.

So, full of confidence, he forgot about eating his own meal and prepared to feed Le Bao the white porridge.

This time, no matter how he tried to feed him, the little fat boy dodged his spoon and refused to open his mouth.

"Baby, have one more bite, or you'll get hungry."

Shen Shilan was still trying to persuade Le Bao to drink the porridge, but the little fat boy had already lost his patience.

She stood up directly from the baby chair, laboriously climbed onto the dining table, grabbed the large meat bun in the middle of the table, and started working with it.

As soon as the meat bun entered his mouth, the little guy squinted contentedly, glancing sideways at his uncle who was still holding a bowl of white porridge.

Oh dear, my uncle is so silly! I can't eat with him next time, or I'll go hungry.

Shen Shilan stood there dumbfounded. Had he just been looked down upon by his two-year-old niece?

He glanced at the reactions of the others at the table; they were all suppressing their laughter, pretending to be busy eating what they were holding.

"Baby, so you like steamed buns. Uncle will remember that."

Shen Shilan awkwardly put down the bowl and tried to make amends.

Tang Wanning looked at the little one who had climbed onto the table and was looking for food on her own, and surprisingly, she didn't say anything to her.

In her opinion, it was more important for the chubby boy to eat by himself. The elders in the family spoiled her too much; she had become accustomed to being waited on hand and foot, which was not a good habit.

She'll be going to school at the start of the new year, so it's essential to develop her independence and self-reliance.

Seeing that her mother wasn't paying attention to her, Le Bao's eyes lit up, and she ate the filling inside the bun, leaving two bun wrappers.

While her mother wasn't looking, she secretly pinched the dumpling skin into a ball and hid it in her hand, then slowly moved her little bottom towards Shen Shilan.

Shen Shilan thought his niece liked him and wanted to come back to him. He was about to happily reach out to hug Le Bao when he saw the little girl reach out her hand, holding two bun wrappers in her tiny palm, put them in his bowl, and then go to get more buns to eat without looking back.

Shen Xizhou and Shen An, who witnessed all of this, bit their lower lips tightly, afraid that they would laugh out loud.

When his uncle wasn't around, the little guy used to feed him, his dad, and his grandfather things they wouldn't eat themselves. Now that his uncle is here, he's taking over those responsibilities. He hopes his uncle will stay forever.

Shen Shilan, being fed by her niece, looked at the steamed bun skins soaked in white porridge in the bowl, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

He was happy that his niece was given to him alone, but sad because he's a germaphobe and really couldn't bring himself to eat her.

Le Bao: Uncle, you're overthinking it. I gave it to you simply because you're the closest to me.

Lu Chenyue: Don't worry, with Le Bao around, even the worst germaphobia can be cured. If you don't believe me, just look at him.
