Chapter 1200: Why Don’t You Admit It?

Actually, Teng fell a lot even though he had only been crawling around. Thinking about that, Wu Yueling grinned.

Lin Qiao smiled at her, then turned to Teng. She pinched the boy’s pink and tender little feet as she said, “I was too impatient. Normal kids won’t be able to walk until they turn one or one and a half years old. But, they normally learn to crawl when they are over six months old. You’ve been crawling all over the house even before you turned a month old…”

Teng was not an ordinary kid, as he grew a little too fast. As a baby who was able to talk once he was born, he should, of course, not be compared with normal children.

“I’m teething… My saliva…” Teng raised his head and said to Lin Qiao, who noticed a small stream of transparent liquid flowing down the corner of his mouth. She hurriedly looked for tissues, but Wu Yueling quickly took out a small towel and handed to her.

“His…”

Lin Qiao glanced at the towel and figured out it was a special towel to wipe Teng’s saliva. Since there was a towel, she decided to save the tissue. Sea City Base was able to manufacture tissues now. However, the raw materials needed to be collected from the outside. Therefore, tissues were still very precious.

“Open your mouth and let me see your teeth,” Lin Qiao wiped Teng’s mouth, then said to him expectantly. Thankfully, the boy reminded her before his saliva wet her shirt-front.

“Ah…” Teng opened his mouth wide and let out a small ‘ah’ sound. Lin Qiao tilted her head to look at his lower gum, then spotted two tiny, sharp teeth tips.

“They’re growing fast,” Lin Qiao gently felt the two sharp teeth with her fingers and said.

At that moment, Wu Chengyue brought a plate of vegetables out of the kitchen and put it on the table, “I think so too. Since he’s teething already, I think his stomach will soon be ready for solid food. Have you solved your problem yet?”

“Kind of,” Lin Qiao responded, “Only temporarily… There is no real solution yet.”

“It’s a new type of power after all. We need time to crack it,” Wu Chengyue gave her a glance, then turned and went back into the kitchen.

Lin Qiao raised her eyes to look at him, then turned to Wu Yueling and said, “The meal is almost ready. Ling Ling, go and wash your hands in the bathroom, then go to your seat.”

Wu Yueling nodded, then obediently washed her hands. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao put a hand under Teng’s little butt and stood up, then walked to the kitchen door and glanced at Wu Chengyue, who was still in there. After that, she walked to the dining table and put Teng into his seat, then went into the kitchen and picked up a bowl as she asked, “Where is Teng’s food?”

“In the clay pot,” Wu Chengyue gave a glimpse to the clay pot, which was sitting on the stove.

Lin Qiao found a spoon and opened the lid of the pot to see the golden egg porridge. While putting the porridge into the bowl, she asked, “When will you go back to Sea City?”

“Do you want me to leave?” Wu Chengyue responded to her while dishing up the food.

After fetching the egg porridge, Lin Qiao put the lid back onto the pot and glanced at him. She found the man wearing no expression. The look on his face didn’t change when he talked to her.

He had his eyes fixed on the food while he was scooping it out from the pot and putting it into the plate. She saw his beautiful side face, which wore a serious look. Lin Qiao had gotten used to seeing him like that long ago. But every single time, she found herself attracted to him when he was working in the kitchen.

Wu Chengyue put the food on the plate, then suddenly turned and looked at her in the eyes. With a smile, he said to her, “I found that you really like to watch me when I’m cooking. You were even obsessed with me some times. I guess I’m more charming than usual while I’m cooking.”

His smile ruined that attractive presence he had just now. On hearing what he said, Lin Qiao gave him a glare, then turned and brought Teng’s food out of the kitchen.

Wu Chengyue received the glare and followed her out. While walking, he said to her, “Why don’t you admit it? When you were invisible and living in my place, you always watched me while I was cooking. Don’t you think that I didn’t know.”

“That was your illusion,” said Lin Qiao coldly.

She walked to Teng’s side and sat down, then picked up his tiny china spoon and stirred the steaming hot porridge in the bowl with it.

“Mama, why don’t you admit it? You were watching him,” Teng chose to stand on his father’s side.

Lin Qiao paused and looked at him silently.

With fright, Teng immediately turned to Wu Chengyue while murmuring, “I didn’t say anything wrong…”

“Would you like to have this meal or not?” Lin Qiao looked at the back of his head and said with a frosty voice.

Teng hurriedly turned back and dropped his hands while sitting straight, “Yes!” He made himself look like a good baby.

“Don’t say anything that shouldn’t be said then,” Lin Qiao said to him with displeasure.

After saying that, she raised the bowl with one hand and the spoon with the other. She first gently blew at the porridge in the spoon, then felt its temperature with her own lips. As it was no longer hot, she reached it toward Teng and said, “Open your mouth.”

Wu Yueling who was sitting in her seat and waiting for her food, was looking at Teng too as she said seriously, “Eat well… Don’t speak while you are eating…”

Only Wu Chengyue and the two kids had the meal, while Lin Qiao was just there to feed the boy. With her help, the meal was a little easier for Wu Chengyue then the meals he had before.

After dinner, Lin Qiao helped the two kids wash their feet and vital body parts. The weather was cold and dry, so she didn’t give the kids a full shower. Showering every day under such weather wouldn’t be good for them.

“Mama, tell us!” After being washed clean, Teng started struggling in Lin Qiao’s arms again.

“About what?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked.

“Didn’t you say that a lot of creatures have come out from underground? What do they look like? Oh… my saliva is coming out again…” Before he could finish, his saliva streamed out of his mouth again.

Lin Qiao wiped his mouth with the towel while saying, “Some of them look like huge worms and some are enormous monsters. There is one type of them with two legs each, and eyes all over the heads.”

Teng pictured the multiple-eyed creature, then said curiously, “What are they? Why did they come out from the underground?”

Teng was only a little curious. Unlike him, Wu Yueling was a little frightened when she pictured that kind of creature in her head. Imagining a monster staring at her with countless eyes on its head, she felt so scared!
