Chapter 576: Chapter 576: The Chubby Baby Boy Weighing 8 Jin 8 Liang

The screen just happened to sweep past Yu Heng, and the truth she was desperately hiding was immediately revealed by a single sentence.

"She had her tooth extracted and swelled up like a bear, can’t show herself to anyone."

Haven’t even captured a glimpse of the little baby yet, Yu Xia immediately lost the mood to continue the call because of this sentence.

She turned to face Yu Heng, looking depressed: "Brother, you’re such a killjoy."

Yu Heng nonchalantly tucked the quilt around Yue Ling.

In the video, Xie Qingci guessed the truth: "Tooth extraction? Wisdom teeth? Let me see."

Now there was no point in hiding it, Yu Xia silently moved the camera to the left, letting her whole face enter the frame.

Comparatively, one side of her face was indeed a bit swollen, as if she deliberately held a lollipop in her mouth on that side.

Xie Qingci: "It’s okay, you’re still very pretty."

She wanted to complain a bit more, when on the small bed at Yue Ling’s bedside, little Yu Li kicked his legs twice, catching her attention.

The camera turned to the small bed, showing the little one, eyes open and bubbling, looking cute like a toy.

"This is the little one, he has a name now, Yu Li, with the ’wood’ radical for happiness. Come on, little one, meet this handsome uncle."

She hooked the little one’s hand with a finger, the small fist clenched together wasn’t even as big as a small bun.

The handsome uncle himself couldn’t help but laugh, leaning closer to the screen to take a good look at this "noodle monkey."

"His hands are so small."

Yu Xia had already said things like this yesterday, so now she lightly mentioned with an experienced attitude: "That’s normal, newborns are small everywhere, his feet are also tiny, like a platypus toy’s feet."

Yue Ling was still drinking porridge, almost spraying it out at this description.

The two of them continued examining the little one, not finding the description strange.

Xie Qingci: "His nose is also small, his eyes a bit big, can he see me with them open?"

"Of course not, he can only perform the action of opening his eyes now, his vision is still blurry. Do you think he looks more like my brother or my sister-in-law?"

Xie Qingci: "Sister-in-law, at a glance they look quite similar. The eyes resemble yours."

"You might as well say he looks like my brother, saying he looks like me makes it seem like he’s my kid..."

She suddenly paused, then refocused the camera on herself, speaking with a strange expression about the dream she had in the afternoon.

"Speaking of which, I had a dream during my afternoon nap, it was kind of scary."

"What kind of dream?"

She first looked around, then slowly said: "Dreamed that you gave birth to a big fat boy for our Yu Family, and I was holding your hand at the maternity bed, crying tears of joy."

Xie Qingci’s incredulous expression cracked inch by inch.

Yu Heng and Yue Ling also stopped and stared at her in surprise.

After a moment of silence, Yu Heng said meaningfully: "If it really could be like that, it would be quite good."

If it hadn’t been for Yue Ling tapping him, he might have continued to say—anyway, our Yu Family is rich, we won’t mistreat you, the more you have the more rewards there will be.

Xie Qingci’s expression was complicated, with deep-set eyes, and he said, his voice raspy: "There are many ways to cope with nightmares, try doing some yoga before bed."

Yu Xia touched her nose, adding: "That big fat boy was eight pounds and eight ounces."

Xie Qingci: "..."

He clumsily and urgently changed the topic: "Won’t your meal get cold? After tooth extraction, can you only drink porridge?"

Seems like he was overwhelmed by the thought of having a big fat boy, Yu Xia decided to let this young lad off the hook and continued along with his topic. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Yeah, for the next few days I can only have liquid food, it hurts a lot. I guess my face will be even more swollen tomorrow."

"It’s all right," finally the topic returned to normal, Xie Qingci’s expression relaxed a lot, "there are no plans these days, right? Just rest at home and you’ll be better in about a week."

Moreover, the slightly puffed-up cheeks really look cute. Just that he couldn’t say this to her right now.

"I hope so, I don’t want to be seen and people saying I ruined my face with surgery."

They continued talking as if no one else was there, and the previously popular little one was already forgotten, while Yu Xia held up the phone to show him today’s light dinner.

"Only plain porridge and salted duck egg, plus a bit of fried yam, and I can only chew on one side, or use my front teeth."

Then she expressed how watching Yu Yue enjoy his meal made her miss his cooking.

"I want to drink the soup you make."

Xie Qingci softened up: "Once filming wraps, I’ll make you some."

Speaking of wrapping up, he recalled that his task application was still incomplete, and he glanced thoughtfully at the fleeting image of Yu Heng on the screen.

Their conversation didn’t last much longer, as Yu Xia considered that he needed to film, and if they kept calling, the food would get too cold to eat, so she proactively ended the call.

Soon after, Yu Heng received a call and left the ward.

When he came back, his face was stormy, circling the room before stopping in front of Yu Xia.

Yu Xia had just finished eating, still reminiscing about the delicious soup in her memory, when a shadow loomed over her.

She looked up at her brother’s serious face and asked, "What’s up, is there something you can’t talk about that you need my help with?"

Yu Heng remained silent, looked at her intently for a while longer, then suddenly spoke: "After having dinner at someone’s house, it’s polite to say goodbye and go home, understand? Their parents haven’t been back for two years, they most certainly want to spend a reunion year as a family."

Yu Xia was briefly puzzled, then raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did Xie Qingci tell you that? How did he say it?"

Yu Heng didn’t want to speak about such things that made a brother’s heart hurt, so after his advice, he went back to sit by Yue Ling’s bedside.

Yue Ling softly comforted him.

Yu Yue quietly sneaked over, leaned close to Yu Xia’s ear, and whispered to her: "I overheard, Dad angrily said, ’Who is your brother?’"

Oh, so Xie Qingci directly called him brother, huh.

"And what else?"

"Dad also said, just date if you want to date, don’t overthink it."

Yu Xia chuckled secretly.

Yu Yue couldn’t quite understand, so he asked her: "Why is Dad so fierce to the handsome uncle? Just like he’s fierce to me."

"You can’t compare that."

She calmly explained: "Your dad is fierce to you because you’re a total failure in language class. He is fierce to my boyfriend because he wants to take me away."

Yu Yue was shocked: "Take you away? Aunt, then you shouldn’t date him, that guy isn’t good."

The speed at which he changed his stance was quite fast.

She laughed and asked, "If I don’t date, will I just stay at home and rely on your dad to support me?"

He puffed up his chest: "I can support you, Aunt! When I grow up and bring home an old and immobile dad, I’ll be the pillar of the family, and I’ll support you!"

"..." Though this wasn’t very friendly towards Yu Heng, it was quite endearing to her, "Yue, you’re so good, Aunt is so moved. I’ll take back what I said earlier, you’re not a failure, you’re a warm-hearted man, just a little too warm-hearted."

No wonder so many girls like warm-hearted guys, it feels so comforting, even at a young age, he knows how to paint a rosy picture for someone.

Xie Qingci: Bro.

Yu Heng: (internally jumping but externally calm) Who is your bro?
