Not long after breakfast, a few cars parked outside the yard. Lin Qiao glanced outside on sensing that but stayed silent.
Teng twitched his ears and nose, and abruptly made his voice sound, \"Eh? Lili and the others are coming here!\"
As the few cars were parked, Qiu Lili, Lin Kui, Lin Wenwen, Long Qingying and the others got off them. Qiu Lili and the other zombies were all wearing sunglasses to cover their purely black eyes. Following behind them were Li Yue Shan, Kong Qingming, Leng Xuantong, and the others.
Lin Wenwen excitedly rushed into the house once she got off the car, and the others followed behind her unhurriedly.
\"Where's the baby?\" Lin Wenwen's voice was heard before she came into the living room. Once in, she saw the kids sitting on the couch, and Lin Qiao, who was sitting beside the kids. Her eyes soon caught the baby who was lying on the couch, and she rushed straight at the baby.
\"Wow! So cute!\"
Teng was wearing a tiger jumpsuit, with a hood hanging behind his neck. His head was hairless, and his limbs were short. At that moment, he was looking at Lin Wenwen with a pair of bright and big eyes, looking very adorable.
Lin Wenwen scooped him up and then sat down on the couch as she started squeezing his cheeks, hands, and feet.
\"His face is so round and chubby! Haha… His head is round too! He looks so much like an egg!\"
Teng instantly rolled his round eyes as he looked at Lin Wenwen with discontentment. Quite a lot of people came in, so he didn't say anything and only glared at his Aunty while trying to stop her from pinch his hands.
Except for Qiu Lili and Lin Kui who had met the boy long ago, all the others gathered around him. Most of them knew about how special the kid was, but none of them said anything. One of them didn't know about that yet, and that was Leng Xuantong.
Leng Xuantong was a scientist. If he knew that Teng was able to speak at birth, would he want to cut him into pieces to figure out why?
Li Yue Shan secretly told Kong Qingming about how special the boy was and asked him to keep it a secret. When Qiu Lili told Lin Wenwen about it, Lin Kui had said the same to her.
Teng was ordered not to talk today.
\"Wow, look at your little face! Are you trying to tell me to stop? You're so adorable! Haha…\" Lin Wenwen held Teng in her arms and refused to let go of him as if Teng was her new toy. The kid struggled so hard, but she never relaxed her grip on him. She even tickled his underarms to make him laugh.
\"Ahhhh… Hahaha…\" Teng instantly burst in laughter and screams, struggling even harder. He wasn't allowed to talk, so it was hard.
'Please take this crazy woman away from me! Please! Stop her from tickling me!' he shouted in his head.
\"Oh, this kid has met his natural bane! Wenwen, he's afraid of you!\" Lin Qiao looked at the two of them with surprise.
\"Ah… hehe, he's so energetic. I can't believe that he's only a month old! So impressive!\" As Teng was struggling intensely, Lin Wenwen clamped his legs with her own legs and then raised his arms as she kept tickling him.
'This is awful!' Teng screamed silently, 'I have an irresponsible Mom and a crazy Aunty! I miss Uncle Lin Hao and Uncle Lu Tianyi so much! My two uncles are both so much gentler than these two women!'
The more he thought about that, the more speechless he felt.
\"He's so tiny!\" Long Qingying walked over and carefully reached out to touch Teng's face. The baby's soft and tender skin felt nice. So, she poked the boy's cheek again expressionlessly.
\"So soft!\"
Lin Wenwen put her hands under Teng's arms and lifted the boy, putting him in Long Qingying's arms while smiling, \"His body is even softer. Hold him!\"
Long Qingying took Teng over in a flurry. She was normally calm and cold, but facing the tender and soft baby, she became very careful. She was worried that she might accidentally hurt the baby. In her eyes, babies were fragile creatures who needed protection.
Lin Qiao stood up and waved at Leng Xuantong, Qiu Lili and Lin Kui, then said, \"Come upstairs with me.\"
The house belonged to one of the leaders of Sea City Base, and was a private residence. Among all All Beings Base people on the scene, only Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying had been there before. The other three didn't know the place well, so they had been standing in a corner quietly. Well, Qiu Lili made herself comfortable by finding herself a chair to sit on.
Hearing Lin Qiao's instructions, the three quickly followed her upstairs. The others figured that Lin Qiao wanted to know about how their mission was going.
As Long Qingying was carefully holding Teng, worrying that she might accidentally drop him, Kong Qingming came to her side and said, \"Do you like it?\"
Long Qingying was looking at Teng in the eyes without blinking. The baby's eyes were so bright and clear. She heard Kong Qingming's question but didn't understand his meaning. She raised her head to give him a quick glance, then turned back to keep staring at Teng in the eyes.
'This lady seems to be quite normal,' thought Teng.
Kong Qingming moved closer to Long Qingying with an evil smile, then whispered by her ear, \"We'll have one together if you like children.\"
Long Qingying didn't know what to say. She quickly stepped to the side, then expressionlessly gave him a glare.
Teng curiously looked at Kong Qingming and then at Long Qingying who was still holding him. Then, he wore a knowing look on his face.
Something was happening between those two!
He noticed the persistence and gentleness in Kong Qingming's eyes and Long Qingying's swaying attitude. With one of his chubby hands on his chin, the boy turned his eyes from her to him, and then from him back to her. That looked familiar.
Same as Teng, Lin Wenwen was also looking at the two in a meaningful way.
\"I think that's a good idea. Qingming, work hard!\" Li Yue Shan joined the conversation with a grin.
\"Work hard on what? Qingming, come over and help us! Yue Shan, move the tables and chairs out to the yard. Thankfully, the weather is nice today,\" Xiao Licheng came out of the kitchen and heard what Li Yue Shan said.
\"Alright!\"
\"I'm coming.\" Li Yue Shan and Kong Qingming responded together, then left the crowd to lend a hand to Xiao Licheng.
Once Kong Qingming stepped into the kitchen, Xiao Licheng came to him and said, \"Hmm, I saw what you did just now. Has anything happened between you two? Why did your attitude change so drastically?\"
\"Nothing happened. I got some bonus, that's all! I'm still working on her. She'll be mine, sooner or later. I have a target now. What about you? Where's your target?\" Kong Qingming smiled proudly.
Except for Lu Tianyi and himself, Xiao Yunlong, Xiao Licheng, and Li Yue Shan were all famous single guys in Sea City Base who worked for Wu Chengyue. Xiao Yunlong had been pursuing Meng Yue the whole time, and everyone knew that. Li Yue Shan was a humble person who always kept a low profile. Therefore, Xiao Licheng had caught most of the attention.
