Chapter 9: Wake up! Get up and feed me! (2)

Huo Xiaoxiao held the bottle and sipped it merrily. She didn’t pay any attention to her father, who was still in the room, his eyes focused on her.

After drinking a small bottle of milk, Huo Xiaoxiao belched, her mouth full of milk bubbles. Nonetheless, she still could not bear to take the nipple out of her mouth and continued to sip it. 

Seeing the baby bottle finished, Huo Suicheng did not spoil her and snatched the bottle mercilessly.

Just finished drinking milk, her hunger had disappeared without a trace. Huo Xiaoxiao was in a good mood, and she did not care about Huo Suicheng’s revenge for taking the bottle. She felt that she had unlimited energy at the moment, and she could finally get rid of the suit that wrapped her with her legs.

Upon seeing the stain on the suit, Huo Suicheng untied it and got her out.

She was grateful that she was finally released from the smelly suit.

Daddy rescued me from extreme misery!

How nice dad is!

I will always love my father!

But then, she frowned as Hui Suicheng carried her into the bathroom and placed her in the sink.

The circular-shaped sink had more than enough room for her.

“…” Huo Xiaoxiao’s heart trembled.

Bathroom, sink.

Is this to bathe her?

Huo Xiaoxiao’s mood was extremely complicated at the moment.

Although she was only three months old, but …

Isn’t that good?

But she felt a little shy.

After a while, Huo Suicheng brought baby shower gel, baby toiletries, and… a little duck.

The sink was soon filled with warm water, and a yellow duck and a white, tender baby were put inside.  

Huo Xiaoxiao was the only person personally served by Huo Suicheng.

Since childhood, he had always been tended by others. He had never taken care of anyone. 

Soaking in the sink, Huo Xiaoxiao’s face flushed, waiting for Huo Suicheng to rub and clean her.

A minute later, Huo Suicheng, who stood by the sink and watched her soak for a minute, lifted her out.

What?

Huo Xiaoxiao watched Huo Suicheng bring towels and wipe her with them.

Is that all?

Huo Xiaoxiao’s head was full of question marks.

If you soak me in the water, won’t you wash?

At least, use a shower gel?

No more rubbing?

Pick me up after soaking twice, at the very least. Even vegetables are not treated like this!

This is the unprecedented, most perfunctory bath she had experienced!.

Huo Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and lay on the big bed after being wiped with water.

Tsk! Tsk!

Anyway, it’s better to soak than not washing that foul air at all.

On one side, Huo Suicheng took out one baby outfit after another from a bunch of shopping bags and flipped a white, one-piece, open crotch pants for her to put on.

The jumpsuit looked good, but in fact, it was quite challenging to wear. Just watching Huo Suicheng fiddling with this jumpsuit for ten minutes was enough to arrive at that conclusion.

Huo Xiaoxiao had already become a darling.

Why?

Daddy took her as a doll and served her at his best.

Now, she was still healthy and alive, fully satisfied.

Huo Suicheng, who had been working hard for half a day, seemed to finally understand the trick. He spread out the jumpsuit on the bed, tucked Huo Xiaoxiao’s small limbs into four sleeves, put on her buttons, and discovered that she was wearing it upside down.

Her feet were hidden in the sleeves, and her hands were in the trouser legs.

Huo Xiaoxiao looked at him with a stupid face.

This trifling matter greatly challenged Huo Suicheng’s patience. All the time tonight was spent dealing with a child’s boring chores. These things had been testing his bottom line, but Huo Xiaoxiao just stared at him innocently. Huo Suicheng restrained his temper, unbuttoned one by one, and after removing it, he took out a diaper and changed it for her.

Fortunately, Huo Xiaoxiao behaved very well. She didn’t say anything nor make any noise, cooperating throughout the process.

After all this, Huo Suicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already late at night. After a busy day, her villain father began to wash and sleep. Before going to bed, though, there was a slight hesitation about Huo Xiaoxiao’s bed tonight.

There was no baby cot at home, and it was unsafe for such a small child to sleep alone. In case of rolling on the ground or being covered by a quilt, her mouth and nose were in danger. He couldn’t afford not to take care of her.

But he had no habit of sleeping in the same bed with anyone.

After thinking for a while, Huo Suicheng carried Huo Xiaoxiao to his bedroom and put her on his bed.

She smelled of milk, something unique to children.

Huo Xiaoxiao had no opinion about where to sleep. After a long day of eating, drinking, and racing, drowsiness swept over her. Her eyelids gradually sank, and she fell asleep after 3 to 5 seconds.

Baidu Encyclopedia said so about how often a newborn is fed milk.

— Newborns have a small stomach capacity. Gastric emptying is also relatively fast. As a result, they will soon feel hungry, resulting in a significant increase in milk intake. When a newborn is hungry, it should be fed in time. This is the principle of on-demand feeding, which can be done about 7 times a day for 4-6 months after birth.

In other words, she needed to be fed every two or three hours.

At two o’clock in the morning, Huo Xiaoxiao woke up hungry.

Gurgled! Gurgle!

Her stomach was empty, and accompanied by a chill, the diaper also became useless.

Without an alarm clock, she did not know the time. Huo Xiaoxiao looked at Huo Suicheng, whose eyes were shut at the side, thinking about whether to wake him or not.

After deliberation, for the sake of her own life’s wellbeing, Huo Xiaoxiao decided to adopt a more gentle way.

She stretched out her hand from her swaddled clothes and slapped the bed surface, trying to wake Huo Suicheng slowly; however, she seemed to have overestimated her several inches long arm. Her hand patted the bed surface as if it were ashes, without alarming half a ripple.

Rumble!

This is not good. I’m hungry.

Looking at the distance between herself and Huo Suicheng, Huo Xiaoxiao’s right hand grasped the quilt on the left and turned hard to the left, biting her lips and teeth, exerting all her efforts. With a bang, the whole person turned over and seemed to lie on the bed.

By hook or by crook!

On the bed, Huo Xiaoxiao was shocked.  

I am definitely the most genius baby in the baby world!

I learned to laugh and roll over a few months after I was born. Perhaps, talking and walking might just be around the corner?

Huo Xiaoxiao’s hands pushed hard on her legs. She crawled a few steps forward excitedly and climbed to Huo Suicheng’s side.

Huo Suicheng, though, slept soundly. Huo Xiaoxiao did not disturb him at all.

Gollum! Gollum!

Her belly cried again.  

Huo Xiaoxiao’s little hand tapped on Huo Suicheng’s shoulder twice, but he would not budge.

She pushed Huo Suicheng’s chin, and he still didn’t wake up.

She pinched Huo Suicheng’s ear again but no response.

Huo Xiaoxiao swallowed two gulps of saliva and became increasingly hungry.

She stepped up her efforts to pull Huo Suicheng. After ten minutes, there was still no response.  

How can you sleep so well?

Why are you not waking up!  

Wake up!

Get up and feed me!  

Huo Xiaoxiao was so hungry that she accidentally slapped his face.

Pak…!

A crisp sound rang in the room.

Huo Suicheng’s eyebrows finally moved.

After the strike, Huo Xiaoxiao felt guilty, gently blowing her swollen palm. She saw that Huo Suicheng seemed to be awake, and almost subconsciously, she immediately closed her eyes and spread her arms, as if she had done nothing a while ago.

Huo Suicheng woke up quietly.

Watching Huo Xiaoxiao sleeping beside him, his mood was very complicated.  

“…I didn’t sleep just now.”
