Hearing what Teng said, Lin Xiaolu instantly had a very bad feeling and immediately objected, "Teng, you are just a little baby! You shouldn't leave the house yet. What if an accident happened?"
Teng has grown bigger than before, but he was still a tiny baby. What if he got injured out there? He was such a tender baby. He could get hurt easily.
The little boy's eyes were rolling quickly. Something dangerous must be going on in his little mind!
He was tiny, but he knew a lot. He argued with his mother every day. He was probably the only baby who was able to argue with his mother since he was born.
"My Mama will be with us. What can possibly happen to me? Don't you guys want to go out and play? I heard there're a lot of people and funny things on the market!" Teng said carelessly. His eyes glowed brightly when he mentioned the market with excitement.
Lin Xiaolu was a kid after all. Hearing about many people and interesting things, she was swayed. There was still a look of hesitation on her face though.
"But, Aunty won't agree to take us out, will she?" Thinking about Lin Qiao's cold face, Lin Xiaolu flinched slightly.
"I know how to make her say yes," Teng said with confidence, "My Mama is so powerful. She won't let anything happen to us. Besides, we're only going out to take a stroll. Kids shouldn't stay indoors all the time. It's bad for the development of our character."
"Like you're old," Lin Xiaolu looked at him and said, "You're the youngest one in the room." Hearing her words, Teng knew that she was already persuaded.
Unlike the other kids, Wu Yueling seemed to be a little disappointed when she heard her friends talking about going out. Normal kids liked to go to the crowded and noisy places for fun, but she was the opposite. She didn't want to go to any crowded place; she was afraid of that kind of places.
She wanted very much to play with Xiaolu, Teng, and Tongtong, and didn't want to be separated from them. However, she didn't have the courage to go to the market together with them either. That was so terrifying.
She furrowed her eyebrows and pressed her lips together, wearing a disappointed and struggling look.
Lin Xiaolu sensitively noticed the change of her expression and instantly said to Teng, "But, if we went to the market, Ling Ling would be at home alone. We can't leave her here alone, can we?"
"Who said we're leaving her here alone?" Teng looked at Lin Xiaolu confusedly and said, "Ling Ling is coming with us."
"Ling Ling will get scared I think," Lin Xiaolu said.
She knew about Ling Ling's condition. What if her illness attacked out there? She shouldn't be going to any crowded place.
Teng turned around and waved at Ling Ling as he said to her with his baby voice, "Ling Ling, don't be afraid! We will protect you. Besides, we'll be with you all the time, so you won't be afraid."
In fact, Teng felt that Ling Ling's condition had been developing in a good way, since she was already able to play with the other kids. She was still unwilling to talk, so, Teng figured that a further plan of her treatment was needed. Perhaps, she could use some strong stimulation.
"Besides, we'll be leaving in a few days. We won't be able to play with Ling Ling all the time after that," Teng abruptly gave a sigh with regret. The one-month-old baby tried to make himself look mature. However, his chubby round face and large eyes didn't allow him to look mature at all.
Lin Xiaolu looked at the little boy with a smile. She sensed the baby's thoughts and felt that going out together might be helpful for Ling Ling.
So, she carried the baby to Wu Yueling's side and said, "Teng is right. We'll be leaving in a few days. By then, we won't be able to play with you for a while. Why don't you go out together with us this time?"
Thinking that Lin Xiaolu, Tongtong, and Teng would be heading back to All Beings Base in a few days, and she herself would be staying at home alone again, Wu Yueling had a feeling of emptiness. That didn't feel good. She didn't like that feeling.
With that thought, Wu Yueling felt less repulsive toward the outside. She raised her head and looked at Lin Xiaolu and Teng, the little boy encouraging her with his sparkling big eyes.
Lin Xiaolu sat down on the carpet next to Wu Yueling and put Teng down, letting him crawl on that thick carpet. Then, she gently touched Ling Ling's head and said, "Ling Ling, don't be afraid! We'll come here to play with you as often as we can. Besides, Teng is your brother. He might be worried about you unless you are happy and not scared anymore."
As Lin Qiao heard the noises that Teng caused and showed up by the door, she felt four pairs of eyes landing on herself.
"Mama, Mama, please take us out!"
Lin Qiao raised her eyebrows and folded her arms, "Why? Isn't making trouble here enough for you? Do you want to create trouble on the outside?"
Teng rolled his eyes and gave his mother a very adorable smile, "I'm not making any trouble! I've been a good baby! Daddy said that I'm a good kid!"
Lin Qiao gave him a cold smile and said, "Are you? Why did you rip open the leather of his couch in the morning? Why did you pour water on his bed? Also, why did you shatter the vase in his living room along with some cups?"
Back then, Wu Chengyue smilingly said that he didn't mind at all. Lin Qiao watched him quickly throw the broken couch out of the house, change the sheets, and calmly clean the mess in the living room. He didn't let her help, and she somehow felt embarrassed!
Hearing all that, Teng immediately turned his eyes to the ceiling.
How on earth was he supposed to know that his fingernails were sharp enough to break the couch? He felt that something was on the couch and got curious, so he tried to dig! That was all! He didn't pour the water on the bed on purpose. He was holding the glass, and it accidentally fell from his hands. As for the vase in the living room, he found it pretty and wanted to take a close look at it, but ended up letting it fall on the floor. He had no idea who put the cup next to the vase!
"Aunty, please take us out!" Lin Xiaolu joined the conversation to help Teng out of the awkward situation, "Mama didn't take us out when we were here the last time."
Hearing the little princess's request, Lin Qiao immediately gave her a smile and nodded, "Alright then. Get ready. Where do you want to go?"
"To the market!" Teng shouted out loud, "I heard that a lot of people are there! And Mama, how come you didn't listen to your son, but listened to Xiaolu?"
"It's because you don't have the right to talk, do you get it?" Lin Qiao gave him a cold glance.
Teng stayed silent. 'Daddy! Please come here and take this zombie lady away from us! She is awful!' he screamed in his head.
