982 Where Is The Milk From?

Hearing him, Lin Hao dropped the milk bowl and scooped him up from the tiny bed, putting him on his own knees. Then, he propped the baby's back with a hand and started feeding the baby with a little spoon.

In the meantime, he said to the baby, "Can you tell the differences between different types of food by smelling them? Can you tell what's edible for you and what's not? Or, can you tell what's edible for everyone?"

It would fine if he was only able to tell what was edible for himself by smelling the food. If he could even tell what was edible for the others, he might possess the same kind of power as his mother.

Did he inherit that power from his mother?

Viney said, "I can only tell what's edible for me. I think I can drink this bowl of milk." He couldn't tell what was in that milk, but the aroma told him that it was safe for him.

"Like animals," said Lin Hao, "did you make the judgment by the smell of the milk? Come on, open your mouth. You didn't get your first spoonful of milk from your mother. You got it from me, your uncle! Oh, but Baby, don't tell other people that I'm your uncle."

His sister was still wearing someone else's skin. He was worried that the baby might call him 'uncle' in front of some other people and cause them to suspect his mother.

Viney opened her mouth and tasted the milk. The milk had a faint fishy smell, but after he swallowed it, he sensed a refreshing sweetness lingering in his mouth. It wasn't bad. After the first gulp, he responded to Lin Hao, "Don't worry! I'm young, but not stupid. I am aware what situation my Mama is in now."

He didn't try to hide his scorn toward his uncle.

Lin Hao didn't know what to say. Talking to a little baby who had a mature mind could be exhausting. And somehow, he felt as if he was going to be outsmarted by the little thing.

"Oh, my little uncle is here," Viney said abruptly.

Who? Lin Hao was confused.

Following a series of footstep sounds, Lu Tianyi showed up outside the window. It turned out that Viney knew him too. Alright, he was indeed the baby's uncle too.

Lu Tianyi glanced into the nursery. Seeing that Lin Hao was already holding the baby and feeding him, he opened the door and walked in.

"The baby woke up. Where is the milk from?"

"Oh, Chief had someone deliver it to us," said Lin Hao.

Lu Tianyi walked to Viney and noticed that the baby still had his eyes closed. He couldn't help but ask, "When will he open his eyes?"

Lin Hao checked Viney's eyes; the corners of the baby's eyes had already opened slightly, so he said, "Soon, I think. By the end of today, these eyes will open half-way. I think he'll be able to blink tomorrow."

It was about six o'clock in the morning. The baby should be able to open his eyes in about twenty hours.

"Tomorrow? That sounds soon. I heard that it takes a week for a baby's eyes to open at times," said Lu Tianyi as he watched Lin Hao feed the baby gently, not feeling strange about it at all.

"You're talking about normal babies." After giving the baby another spoonful of milk, Lin Hao raised his eyes and gave Lu Tianyi a glance. 'Do you think this one is a normal baby? This is a little monster!' he said to Lu Tianyi with his eyes.

Lu Tianyi spent a short while watching, then said, "Can I try to feed him?"

"Do you know how?" Lin Hao gave him another glance and asked blandly. What if he couldn't do it well and made the whole place messy?

Lu Tianyi understood the look in Lin Hao's eyes. But, he really wanted to hold the baby and feed him.

Lin Hao noticed the longing in his eyes. In fact, he felt that letting him feed the baby or teaching him how to do it wouldn't be a big deal, but he didn't want to give him the little monster.

"Just let me do it. I'll do it slowly and carefully. Also Doctor Lin, aren't you busy? Don't you need to check on your patients? Don't you have to operate on your patients?" Lu Tianyi said with a smile.

On hearing that, Lin Hao pulled a long face. He was busy indeed. Two surgical operations needed him today. Once he started working, he wouldn't be able to take care of the baby.

"Just go. Little Uncle can feed me. We'll be fine," said Biney.

Lu Tianyi heard the baby and paused briefly with surprise. Then, he slightly widened his eyes and looked at Viney happily.

He heard the baby call him 'uncle of That was a subtle and complicated feeling. He had no idea why the kid added 'little' before 'uncle' though. He was in his twenties already! Of course, he did not know that he was Viney's youngest uncle. Both Lin Hao and Lin Feng were older than him.

Lin Hao reluctantly gave Viney to Lu Tianyi at last and told the latter how to hold the baby, as well as the things that required attention.

The baby's body was soft. A wrong position could make the baby feel uncomfortable, or lay pressure on its fragile bones.

While Lin Hao was listing the matters that needed attention, Viney said impatiently, "Alright, alright. I can talk. If I feel uncomfortable, I will tell Little Uncle about it. Just go, go!"

Lin Hao didn't know what to say.

'I am worried about you, okay? What is that look on your face? You are wearing a frown! Why do you like Lu Tianyi more? I am the one who brought you to the world! I am your uncle too!' Lin Hao complained in his head.

By the time Wu Chengyue brought Ling Ling over to see Viney, he found Lu Tianyi holding his son and smiling like a silly man. The people who didn't know the story of the baby might think that the young man was his father!

"Ling Ling is here!" Viney made his voice sound once he sensed the scents of Wu Chengyue and Wu Yueling. Hearing his voice, Wu Yueling jogged to him happily.

Then, Lu Tianyi noticed that the little thing twitched the corners of his mouth and wore a weird expression. Viney said, "Um, Ling Ling, can we talk? Can you please stop calling me Little Brother Viney? That sounds really weird!"

The baby sounded very helpless.

Wu Yueling moved to Lu Tianyi's side and fixed her sparkling eyes on the baby. Unwittingly, she curved her lips in a smile.

Wu Chengyue came over and saw that. "Viney, can you read Ling Ling's mind?" He asked Viney.

"I want Mama to give me a new name as soon as possible!" said Viney.

Wu Chengyue looked at him and said smilingly, "Why don't you ask me to give you a new name? I'm your father after all."

Viney moved his eyeballs slightly and said, "I'll take your family name, so I have decided to let Mama name me."

Hearing that, Wu Chengyue was stunned a little, then smiled a bigger smile. "Alright then!"

He didn't hear the zombie lady say that Viney would take his Family Name. He thought she would give her family name to the baby. Since Viney was willing to take 'Wu' as his family name, he was happy to let the zombie lady name his son.

Having such a smart son who knew his own mind so clearly, Wu Chengyue somehow felt that he wouldn't be able to collect quite some bonus that normal fathers could.
