Chapter 616 Kiana☆, send me a copy of your 'training secrets'!
Upon hearing this, Theresa immediately glared at Xiao Shi, her voice low but filled with imposing authority:
"Don't talk nonsense! All newborn babies are like this! They'll definitely be as beautiful as Kiana☆ once they grow up!"
As she spoke, she cautiously reached out her finger, wanting to touch the little one's face, but afraid of hurting her if she touched too hard, so she held her fingertip in mid-air for a long time without daring to put it down.
Siegfried stood to the side, his usually hearty laughter softening considerably, his mouth stretching almost to his ears as he looked at the tiny baby in the swaddling clothes:
"As expected of my Siegfried's granddaughter, even her cries are so clear and bright! She'll definitely grow up to be a brave child!"
Mei☆ carried in the warm water and towel that she had prepared beforehand, and handed them to Fu Ming. Fu Ming took them, and his gaze was full of tenderness when it fell on Kiana:
"Kiana☆, thank you for your hard work. Drink some water to replenish your energy."
Kiana nodded, nestled in Fu Ming's arms, and sipped her water, her gaze fixed on the baby, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"She's so small..."
The nurse brought the cleaned-up baby over and gently placed it next to Kiana. The little one seemed to sense its mother's presence, stopped crying, its little mouth moved slightly, and lay quietly with its eyes closed.
Fu Hua stepped forward, her gaze falling on the baby's face, a faint warmth appearing in her usually calm eyes:
"There is indeed a resemblance to Kiana in her eyes and brows."
Xiao Shi pouted, but still couldn't help moving closer. Looking at the little guy's clenched fists, her eyes lit up, and she had an idea:
"Hey? Look at those little fists, clenched tighter than anyone else's. She's definitely got the makings of a martial arts master! How about I reluctantly take her on as my disciple?"
Kiana almost spat out the warm water she had just drunk, coughing lightly twice as she choked, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Fu Ming quickly patted her back, his fingertips applying gentle pressure, his eyes brimming with an irrepressible smile, his tone full of doting affection:
"Let her be. As long as Xiaoxing is happy in the future, that's all that matters."
He turned to look at Xiao Shi, who was beaming with excitement, his tone becoming more serious, but without a trace of reproach:
"But let me make this clear from the start: if Xiaoxing doesn't like practicing martial arts, you can't force her to just do it because you're interested."
"Huh? Xiaoxing?"
Theresa rushed over immediately, her face full of undisguised surprise, a fleeting hint of regret in her eyes, and a touch of grievance in her voice:
"You've already thought of a name? I was originally thinking of naming my grandniece, after all, I was the one who decided on Kiana☆'s name back then!"
Kiana☆ gazed at the tiny baby in the swaddling clothes, breathing evenly, a soft smile in her eyes, her voice gentle and clear:
"Fu Xing, her name is Fu Xing."
Over the next few days, the lunar base was completely transformed into a "baby care center".
Theresa stayed by the nursery almost every step of the way, while Siegfried was keen to tell his granddaughter about his "heroic deeds" from back then.
Even though the little one couldn't understand at all, he spoke with great enthusiasm, and would occasionally make funny faces at the baby, making the little one giggle.
Xiao Shi initially disliked the baby's "wrinkled" appearance, but later became the most enthusiastic "playmate," using her imagination to create little butterflies and flowers every day to make the baby happy.
She even went to ask Fu Hua if there was any way to make the baby grow up faster, but Fu Hua helplessly rejected her.
Mei☆ takes the initiative to provide logistical support, preparing different postpartum meals for Kiana☆ every day, ensuring both nutrition and deliciousness. She also helps take care of the baby with gentle and skillful movements.
(Alicia: Huh? Then I'll take care of being beautiful~?)
That day, Kiana sat on the edge of the bed, carefully holding the baby and feeding him. The little one swallowed with his cheeks puffing out, looking extremely adorable.
Fu Ming sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on his daughter's soft little face. His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and his tone carried a childlike curiosity:
"Is it really that delicious? Look how much she enjoys it."
Kiana☆ was amused by him, her eyes curving into crescent moons:
"Ah Ming, do you want to try some too?" she said, deliberately waving the other one.
Fu Ming quickly waved his hand, his ears turning slightly red:
"Never mind, I won't fight with my daughter for food."
He reached out and gently touched Fu Xing's little face, his fingertips just touching that warm and soft skin.
The little guy subconsciously tilted his head, smacked his lips a couple of times, and kept his eyes closed, looking like he hadn't had enough to drink.
"look at you."
Kiana gave him a reproachful look, then readjusted her position and brought it to Fu Xing's lips.
Fu Xing, however, did not appreciate it. She turned her little head to one side, pouted, and suddenly burst into tears, her voice crisp and clear.
"what happened?"
Kiana panicked and reached out to hug him, but Fu Ming stopped her.
"Don't rush, they're probably full and want to change positions."
Fu Ming carefully took Fu Xing from Kiana's arms, supporting her little bottom with one hand and gently patting her back with the other, his movements gentle and skillful.
The little one snuggled against him, nestled his head against his neck, found a comfortable position, and gradually stopped crying.
A short while later, he fell asleep with even breathing.
Kiana☆ watched Fu Ming skillfully cradling the baby and gently patting his back, her eyes filled with surprise, her tone tinged with a hint of grievance:
"Hmm~ How come you're so skilled? I haven't even figured out her little temper yet."
Fu Ming looked down at Fu Xing, who was fast asleep in his arms, his fingertips gently stroking her soft baby hair. His eyes were filled with tenderness, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"I consulted doctors and nurses about a lot of parenting tips and read a lot of baby care manuals beforehand, just in case I won't be able to help when the time comes."
He paused, then turned to look at Kiana☆, a hint of smugness in his eyes:
"Besides, my little Xing seems to be especially close to me. She was just rubbing against me in my arms a moment ago."
"Hmph, it's clearly my baby, how come it kissed you first!" Kiana puffed out her cheeks and gently poked Fu Ming: "But... you're quite serious about learning these things, you really like children that much?"
Fu Ming leaned down and gently kissed Kiana's forehead:
"Of course I want to learn more so that I can take care of changing diapers and putting my baby to sleep in the future."
Just then, a series of light footsteps came from outside the door.
"Ugh—that's so cheesy!"
Xiao Shi peeked in through the door frame, his eyes darting over the two of them before he deliberately dragged out his complaint:
"Ah Ming, you weren't like this before. You were a blockhead back then. Could it be that Kiana really turned you into one?"
After saying that, she hopped over to Kiana☆ in two steps, nudged her lightly with her elbow, and her eyes gleamed:
"Kiana☆, send me a copy of your 'training secrets'! I want to train Ah Ming using them too!"
A blush crept up Fu Ming's ears and down his chin. He quickly cleared his throat and spoke, feigning composure:
"Why did you come here suddenly?"
"I brought the 'beginner weapon' I prepared for Xiaoxing!"
Xiao Shi waved the small, exquisite wooden toy sword in his hand. The scabbard was engraved with the words "Lucky Star." Just as he was about to approach the bedside, he caught a glimpse of Fu Xing's soft, sleeping face, and suddenly softened his movements, excitedly whispering:
"Oh? The little one's asleep? That's perfect, she can get used to the feel of it when she wakes up!"
