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

Xiao Nanfeng felt as if he had been bewitched, a kind of bewitching that made him unable to resist following Lin Zhixia's gaze whenever he saw her.

He followed Lin Zhixia as she went out, walking slowly at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Xiao Nanfeng, you're being shameless! They already said that, and you still stubbornly followed them. She cursed herself inwardly, but her feet didn't stop moving as she followed.

As darkness fell and the city lights gradually came on, the silhouettes of the people walking aimlessly ahead appeared particularly lonely.

He followed her from day to night, watching her walk into the convenience store, carry a plastic bag, and sit down on the steps by the river.

"Aren't you tired after following me all this way?"

Lin Zhixia suddenly spoke.

She knew that Xiao Nanfeng had been following her the whole time.

"Would you like a bottle?"

After Xiao Nanfeng came out, Lin Zhixia handed him a bottle of beer, but he didn't take it.

He didn't want it, and she didn't offer him any more. Instead, she opened the bottle and drank it herself.

When the can was pulled open, there was only a soft hiss, silent yet remarkably clear. Bubbles swirled and churned inside, muffled and cool, as if shattering the stillness of the entire night.

Xiao Nanfeng didn't speak, but sat down next to her and looked at her profile.

The night breeze lifted her hair, revealing her sorrowful eyes.

Xiao Nanfeng had never seen Lin Zhixia like this before. The Lin Zhixia he knew was always bright, carefree, and loved to argue and bicker with him.

After a while, he picked up a bottle from the plastic bag, unzipped it, and drank it down.

Why does the wine taste so bitter tonight? He thought to himself that Lin Zhixia must have bought fake wine.

Neither of them spoke, letting the evening breeze blow.

He didn't ask about her past, he just stayed by her side silently; she didn't confide in him, she just sat quietly and drank.

From the first rays of dawn until the moon set late at night, the two drunken men helped each other to a nearby hotel.

For reasons unknown, Lin Zhixia kissed Xiao Nanfeng as soon as she entered the room.

"Did you see me clearly? Who am I?"

His remaining rationality sustained him; he didn't want her to treat him as a substitute for someone else.

"Xiao Nanfeng, you are Xiao Nanfeng."

Perhaps Lin Zhixia was still somewhat conscious, or perhaps she simply recognized the person in front of her subconsciously.

She tiptoed and kissed him again, her hazy eyes reflecting his face.

"Don't you regret it?"

He responded with another deep kiss.

This is your own fault; I've already asked.

That night, whether they were truly drunk or simply using alcohol as an excuse to vent, both of them were thinking about conquering each other.

"When I woke up, she was already gone. She left a note: 'A one-night stand after drinking, don't take it seriously.'"

After Xiao Nanfeng finished speaking, he scoffed at himself.

A man who frequents flower gardens year-round was stung in the eye by a bee, yet he couldn't forget the bee that stung him.

"If you really want to be with her, why don't you talk to Le Bao's mother?"

Feng Yan patted him on the shoulder. He didn't understand matters of the heart either; they were too complicated.

Wise men do not fall in love, so he did not touch that stuff, but his brothers all fell in love with it.

---

After Lu Chenyue and Yu Chengyan took the children to play on the children's activities, they finally arrived at the last activity, which was the ice cream that Le Bao had been talking about.

This time, Le Bao was smarter. To prevent her from getting a mini one like last time, she didn't ask for it first. Instead, after Lu Shulang got it and saw that it wasn't the mini one from last time, she asked her brother for it directly.

Lu Chenyue wanted to use the same trick again, but despite all his precautions, he didn't catch a brother who was obsessed with his sister.

Le Bao simply opened her captivating big eyes and asked with utmost sincerity:

"Honey, is this for the baby?"

Without a word, Lu Shulang, who dotes on his sister, gave her the ice cream he had just gotten.

Le Bao's eyes crinkled with joy as he received the gift, and he repeatedly said "Good Brother Nai" to his brother.

Lu Shulang lost himself in the chubby boy's sweet talk, glancing smugly at Yu Muchen with eyes full of provocation:

"See? My sister still loves me the most."

Lu Chenyue was asking the shop assistant for one of those finger-sized crispy cones when Yu Chengyan nudged him, signaling him to turn around.

Completely bewildered, Lu Chenyue turned around and felt like he wanted to die. It's true what they say, you can guard against anything, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family.

With her face covered in cream, Le Bao licked her ice cream little by little, and even generously gave Lu Shulang and Yu Muchen a bite.

However, as she handed it over, she kept a close eye on the size of their bites, afraid that they might take too much.

Fortunately, her two older brothers didn't mind her saliva and only took a tiny bite.

Seeing that the ice cream was only missing its fur, Le Bao finally took it back and continued eating, completely satisfied.

"Baby, give Daddy a bite."

After buying the ice cream, the group walked back.

Lu Chenyue looked at the enormous ice cream cone in his chubby daughter's hand and rubbed his temples in exasperation. What was he going to do? If the little chubby girl ate something that big, she was bound to get sick, and then he would become the enemy of the whole family again.

Upon hearing her father's words, Le Bao immediately hid the ice cream behind her back.

"Damn it, Daddy's not smart."

There's no father or daughter when it comes to ice cream, especially since this was one she'd finally gotten, and who knows when she'll get another chance to eat it.

"Just one bite. Look, this was bought for you by your dad. Dad will only eat a tiny bit, I promise."

Knowing how difficult it was to get food from the chubby boy, Lu Chenyue was practically calling her his ancestor.

After much persuasion, Le Bao finally agreed to let her father lick her lips.

Lu Chen was overjoyed and promised to only eat one bite.

Le Bao took the ice cream out from behind his back. It had melted a bit, and white cream was dripping everywhere, covering the crispy cone and Le Bao's hands.

Lu Chenyue looked at the ruined ice cream and hesitated to eat it.

But more than his obsession with cleanliness, he was afraid that the little fat boy would get sick.

He gritted his teeth, opened his mouth wide, and took a bite, and most of the ice cream was gone.

Le Bao looked at the last crispy dumpling in her hand, then at her father's mouth which hadn't yet swallowed, and burst into tears.

She cried as she tried to pry open her father's mouth with her hands, and angrily threw the remaining crispy shells on the ground.

Using both hands, Lu Chenyue kept his mouth tightly shut, even though the ice cream in his mouth made his teeth ache from the cold, he still didn't dare to open his mouth.

Seeing that his hands weren't working, Le Bao resorted to using his mouth.

She grabbed her father's face with both hands and bit down hard on Lu Chenyue's lips with her little mouth.

Lu Chenyue dared not resist, patting the little guy's back with one hand while rapidly melting ice cream in his mouth.

Yu Chengyan, who was standing to the side, had witnessed Lu Chenyue's disheveled state. He calmly took out his phone, took a picture, then snatched the remaining half of the ice cream from his son's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and gestured for Lu Shulang next to him to eat it quickly.

Lu Shulang was also startled by the scene and quickly ate the rest of the food.

Yu Muchen, whose ice cream had been taken away by his own father, gave Yu Chengyan, who was watching the show, a resentful look. It wasn't that he particularly liked it; it was just that he knew Le Bao loved it, and he had saved it for Le Bao.

Lu Chenyue, having finally digested the coldness in his mouth, rescued himself from under his daughter's teeth, accompanied by Le Bao's drool, snot, tears, and a deep tooth mark.

He didn't have time to think about anything else; he wiped his mouth and rushed to comfort his crying daughter.

Le Bao dodged his hand, crying loudly as she walked towards Shen Wanning without looking back. Tears blurred her vision, and the little one fell several times.

Lu Chenyue watched from behind, feeling both heartache and self-reproach.
