Chapter 82
Pain, tearing pain. The instant Shu Jintian’s consciousness returned, the pain swept him up like a tide. The pain spread from his rear entrance, all the way to his belly.
Before Shu Jintian opened his eyes, he already moaned.
Shu Hanyu was lying on his side and holding Shu Jintian. When he saw Shu Jintian wake up, he delightedly said, “Tiantian, you’re finally awake. You’ve been asleep for a good while already.”
“Mn.” Shu Jintian blinked his eyes and replied quietly.
Only then did Shu Jintian suddenly recall his child. His whole body trembled and he suddenly lifted his head, looking at Shu Hanyu.
“Hanyu… Child, where’s the child?” Shu Jintian’s heart was full of fear. Shu Hanyu was ruthless enough to throw aside the little snakes, so how about the red-haired child?
Shu Jintian was unbearably upset. How could he pass out? No matter what, he had to protect the child before falling unconscious ah.
Shu Hanyu’s face had a soft smile and he said in distress, “Tiantian has suffered. The child is very well. It is really unfortunate. Why did you give birth when I wasn’t here? Thank goodness you’re fine, or else I would have regretted it for my whole life. Oh right, you haven’t carefully looked at him. He looks very handsome, so quickly look.”
Shu Jintian was stunned. It shouldn’t be this response ah. Was he not suspecting him? After all, the time didn’t match up and the child also did not look like him ah.
As Shu Hanyu spoke, he gently reached over Shu Jintian’s body and picked up a tiny bundle from the bedside.
Guoguo and the newborn baby were sleeping together, the two lying side-by-side on the edge of the bed.
“Baba!” Guoguo was extremely happy upon seeing female father wake up and wanted to crawl onto Shu Jintian’s chest but was conveniently pushed away by Shu Hanyu as he picked up the child.
Shu Hanyu also did not like Guoguo; it was just that Guoguo and he were both Spiritual Snakes so they were naturally incompatible. Being able to live in the same cave was already a miracle.
“Be good, Guoguo~” When Shu Jintian heard Guoguo’s voice, he weakly replied.
Guoguo was instantly cured, carefully looking at male father before slowly crawling to Shu Jintian’s back, sticking to his back and gently rubbing against him.
Shu Hanyu held the child and came closer to Shu Jintian’s front, passing the little female baby over for Shu Jintian to see. He dotingly said, “Look, isn’t he very beautiful?”
“Ahhhh~~” The little baby hadn’t opened his eyes yet. The little face poking out of the animal hide bundle was rosy red, and his skin was all wrinkly and also looked a little like he was moulting. Awoken by Shu Hanyu’s movements, his lips pursed and held on for a moment before he opened his mouth wide to cry.
Shu Jintian was a little astonished. Wasn’t the baby’s hair red? How was it not? Shu Jintian contemplated for a few seconds, then realised that the red might have been blood.
The baby’s hair was sparse, but its colour wasn’t the bright-red Shu Jintian had previously thought, but a goose-yellow like soft bamboo shoots. Gentle and light, it appeared extremely soft.
Shu Jintian couldn’t help staring blankly, reaching out to carry the baby wrapped in hides. Shu Hanyu let go of the baby and conveniently held Shu Jintian, allowing him to lean against him in his embrace.
Because of his long period of doubts, Shu Jintian was unable to dispel his hesitation for a while and came closer to closely study the child’s hair, but was unable to see any colour even close to red; it was closer to dark green.
But big snake and this child’s hair were both the colour of plants and could be camouflage. This bit was very similar between them. But was this hereditary?
Shu Jintian saw the child clearly, then shifted his gaze away. Although Shu Jintian had an inherent intimacy for the child, this child made him feel suspicious and Shu Jintian was unable to accept him for a time.
Shu Hanyu quietly laughed, gently stroking Shu Jintian’s face and asking, “Isn’t he very beautiful?”
Shu Jintian looked at the baby’s old man-like face, his lips twisting. Are your eyes ruined?! This is called good-looking? With a curl of his lip, Shu Jintian said, “What part of it is beautiful? Both ugly and red, it’s nothing like us at all.”
“Don’t say that, Tiantian. He’s like you, very beautiful!” Shu Hanyu frowned and said in displeasure.
“What ah, it looks like me?” Shu Jintian fur was ruffled and he glared at Shu Hanyu angrily.
The baby was frightened by Shu Jintian’s angry shout and his cries immediately rang out.
Shu Jintian shut his mouth, he looked at him at a complete loss, unsure of how to deal with the child in his arms. Shu Hanyu took the child in distress, gently swaying and coaxing, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Be good, baby~”
Shu Jintian looked at the baby nervously and just saw that the child that was just wailing had turned quiet in mere moments. It seriously was a child’s face, with a doll-like appearance.
Shu Jintian sighed in relief and softly said, “You’re really good, he’s not crying anymore ah. I didn’t think you were actually this skilled at coaxing children. Looking at how the little snakes are so deadly scared of you, yet this one eats up this act of yours.”
“It’s the baby who’s obedient. He’s very easy to coax, you try.” Shu Hanyu said as he passed the child to Shu Jintian.
Shu Jintian took the child again, looking at his eye colour a little curiously. “But he’s already awake, yet why aren’t his eyes open ne?”
Shu Hanyu embraced Shu Jintian, the infant squeezed between them.
“He’ll probably open his eyes after seven days ba.”
“So long? Can he not open his eyes? I first thought that he hasn’t woken up yet ne!” Shu Jintian was very surprised, looking at the child with wide eyes.
The little baby’s eyes were shut tight, his eyelashes both long and curly with the same colour as his hair. His eyelashes were light-coloured. Under the rosy red skin as background, the existence of the eyelashes was almost invisible.
“Hehehe… No matter what he can only open his eyes after a few days. He isn’t the same as the little snakes.” Shu Hanyu softly laughed, the rumble of his chest passing through the child and resonating through Shu Jintian’s body.
“Okay ba!” Shu Jintian said. Since big snake said so, then there was no problem.
Shu Hanyu’s attitude towards the child made Shu Hanyu a little more at ease. Shu Jintian smiled at Shu Hanyu, his heart brimming. The feelings he longed for the most in this life had already been gained. Shu Jintian was very satisfied and also glad.
While Shu Hanyu and Shu Jintian were both unaware, the child squished between them became restless.
His face was facing Shu Jintian’s chest. Seemingly able to smell something, his little red nose softly twitched and then he became stirred up. His head anxiously rubbed against Shu Jintian’s chest, opening his mouth to bite everywhere.
Shu Jintian froze upon feeling the baby’s movements, then abruptly stiffened.
It turned out that the little baby bit what it wanted to bite at this time, and was unable to wait as it began sucking.
Before Shu Jintian could react, his nipples were bitten by his child and a rather powerful suckling force came from his chest.
“Ah!” Shu Jintian cried out loudly in alarm, frantically pushing the child away. But due to Shu Jintian’s weak health and his fear of using strength, while the child’s body was shifted, its mouth was clinging to Shu Jintian’s nipple as he made enthusiastic ‘nn’ sounds.
“Ah! What’s he doing?” Shu Jintian was at a loss and panicking, looking at Shu Hanyu pleadingly.
Shu Hanyu tilted his head slightly, blinking, then reached out to touch Shu Jintian’s other nipple and even gently pinching. Finally, he said, “He’s hungry ba
!”He’s hungry ba! Hungry ba! Ba… Shu Hanyu’s voice was like the old gong of an ancient temple echoing in Shu Jintian’s head.
Shu Jintian’s entire body was dumb as a wooden chicken. Upon reacting, he couldn’t help flying into a rage out of humiliation and he forcefully slapped away Shu Hanyu’s hand.
“Then you hurry up and find something for him to eat ah! Shu Jintian bellowed at Shu Hanyu, attracting Guoguo to sitting up.
Ah? What’s wrong with female father?
“He’s still small, so he can’t eat meat,” Shu Hanyu calmly said.
“Then what’ll he…” Shu Jintian faltered, his focus concentrated on his chest.
Just now, because his body was in pain, he hadn’t noticed. Now that the baby was sucking with all his strength, Shu Jintian realised with a start that his chest was swollen, and it became even more evident after the baby was sucking on it.
Shu Jintian’s body was stiff like a block of wood as he lowered his head to stare disbelievingly at the baby doing its best to suck.
Shu Hanyu saw that the baby kept being unable to suck and felt distressed for Shu Jintian and the baby. Thinking of how the soup was still stewing in the pot, he spoke up. “Tiantian, I was just concerned about talking to you and already forgot to make your food. Didn’t you want to eat fish? I made fish stew, so I’ll carry it over for you. Now you’re eating for two, so you should eat more.”
Right at this time, Shu Jintian felt a strange sensation coming from his chest. His nipples ached, then there was the sensation of something within his body being sucked out from them. Shu Jintian’s expression was a little twisted but his body seemed nailed to the ground, unable to budge at all.
Once a passage was opened, the juice inside was like a live spring, suckled out by the baby’s greedy little mouth in an unending flow.
Baby stuck his mouth out and swallowed down a mouthful of milk, new milk was already flowing into his mouth so he didn’t need to suck with so much effort anymore.
Shu Jintian was already so stiff he couldn’t move a muscle. Hearing Shu Hanyu’s words, he foolishly muttered a ‘mn’ and no longer responded.
Shu Hanyu smiled as he kissed Shu Jintian’s forehead, then got up to go prepare Shu Jintian’s food.
Seeing male father finally leave, Guoguo swiftly crawled to Shu Jintian. Seeing his new little brother biting female father’s chest, he was a little curious.
Guoguo intimately called Shu Jintian, “Baba~”
Shu Jintian dazed hummed in reply and then no longer replied, staring at the little head on his chest with a wooden expression.
Guoguo was a little envious; female father’s focus was snatched away by little brother. In order to get female father’s gaze back on him, Guoguo’s eyes shifted and he lowered his head to bite Shu Jintian’s other nipple.
“Ah! Get off!” Shu Jintian cried in alarm, reflexively waving Guoguo off.
Guoguo was caught off guard and was directly thrown during Shu Jintian’s loss of control, lying on his back with limbs facing the sky.
He couldn’t do anything about a newborn infant, but Shu Jintian was truly unable to look straight if Guoguo did this as well. After all, Guoguo already had memories.
Guoguo tumbled down and immediately flipped over and sat up, sitting on the bed and staring at Shu Jintian. Then, his mouth shrivelled up and his eyes turned watery, appearing as if he was about to cry.
“Ah, Guoguo! Be good Guoguo, papa didn’t mean to do it.” Shu Jintian pulled Guoguo up with a hand and comforted him, forcibly squeezing out a smile on his face.
“Mn, baba!” Guoguo threw himself into Shu Jintian’s embrace, forcefully rubbing against him to find a sense of existence. Shu Jintian patted Guoguo again and again, only then did Guoguo feel relieved.
Shu Hanyu quickly came down, carrying fish and rice soup and a large dish of meat fried with wild vegetables.
Shu Jintian’s private parts had some tears and he dare not eat solid food, and only drank the soup.
Shu Hanyu supported him up, carefully feeding Shu Jintian soup. Shu Jintian drank three bowls in a row before he was full. With the warm soup entering his belly, Shu Jintian’s body warmed up and his strength had recovered a lot.
And the small baby, its mouth was still holding Shu Jintian’s nipple, and unexpectedly fell asleep miraculously.
