“Ah ah ah ah, Duan Yizhou!!!”
Duan Yizhou was playing with his two sons by the small bed when he heard a frightened cry of fear coming from the bathroom. His face suddenly darkened, and he quickly walked over.
“What’s wrong, baby?”
In the bathroom, Luo Songran hadn’t put on his shirt yet. He looked down in amazement at his own chest. When he saw Duan Yizhou coming in, he almost cried, “Why is this happening to me…”
Duan Yizhou initially thought Luo Songran had fallen or something, but upon entering, he found it wasn’t the case. He saw that Luo Songran’s normally fair and flat chest was slightly swollen and showing signs of slight leakage. And there were signs of discharge.
Normally, male betas or omegas wouldn’t secrete milk. How could Luo Songran suddenly start producing it?
“Let me see if it hurts?” He pulled off a nearby cardigan and helped Luo Songran put it on, then leaned against the sink and pulled him closer.
“It hurts.” Luo Songran felt very uncomfortable, and there was an unbearable sense of congestion. “It feels like something is blocking, it’s so swollen.”
Seeing him in such discomfort, Duan Yizhou didn’t know what to say to him for a moment, mainly because he was worried Luo Songran might feel embarrassed. But the next moment, what the little rascal said still caught him off guard.
“Can you help me suck it out?” Luo Songran walked up to Duan Yizhou, took his arm, his eyes watery, and pleaded, “It hurts so much like this.”
Duan Yizhou couldn’t believe how thick-skinned Luo Songran could be, but he couldn’t help but smile helplessly. He clasped Luo Songran’s waist with both hands and lifted him onto the sink. As soon as he lifted him up, Luo Songran’s legs wrapped around him. The distance between the two instantly became intimate.
Luo Songran put his hand on Duan Yizhou’s nape, pressed his face against his chest, and murmured, “It really hurts, please… kiss me.”
This pleading voice, tinged with a sob, sounded so pitiful, and Duan Yizhou couldn’t bear to see Luo Songran suffer. He wasn’t sure if this would alleviate the discomfort, but seeing how much Luo Songran was suffering, he chose to comply.
Relieve first, then figure out.
The sound of suppressed moans echoed in the bathroom. Luo Songran felt the momentary pain and stimulation enveloped by warmth. The original sense of congestion in his chest seemed to be relieved under the suction of external force, but what followed was a different kind of stimulation than usual.
But it wasn’t enough.
His hand grabbed Duan Yizhou’s shoulder with a little force, his eyes gradually becoming wet, “…that…”
Hearing Luo Songran’s crying tone, Duan Yizhou let go. He raised his head, “What’s wrong, baby, still uncomfortable?”
“Can you apply a little more force? It’s too light.” Luo Songran saw Duan Yizhou’s forehead was sweating and used his fingers to wipe it off. “Husband, thank you for your hard work.”
It sounded like a very ordinary inquiry, but it was precisely this casual tone that felt like a feather brushing against his skin, igniting a fire that could burn everything.
Duan Yizhou met his pleading yet affectionate gaze. How could there be someone who kept his heart pounding all the time? Even though they were already married and had two children, this kind of freshness and excitement still occurred continuously.
This little rascal was constantly testing his patience. He continued to comply. So the fire really burned until the children outside started crying and fussing, barely extinguishing it.
Duan Yizhou first helped Luo Songran put on the cardigan, then lifted him down from the sink. “Feeling better?”
It seems he had to ask Su Yì to find out what was going on.
“A little better.” Luo Songran heard the children crying, “Go check on them, they rarely cry.”
“It’s probably time for them to be hungry.” Duan Yizhou lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek. “The children should drink milk too.”
Luo Songran responded to this kiss, and as they separated, he laughed, “Yes, after all, the big daddy is full.”
Duan Yizhou detected his teasing tone and pinched the back of his neck. “Looks like you want to feed the children yourself.”
Luo Songran said, “…that’s not it.” What kind of man would he be if he fed the children? “I’m not like that!!”
“Didn’t you just say you fed me enough?” Duan Yizhou smiled and went to the crib to pick up Piglet, who was crying the most. Piglet stopped crying immediately when he was picked up in an airplane hug.
Luo Songran went to pick up Pipsqueak from the bed. However, when he picked him up, he accidentally rubbed against his chest, causing him to suck in a breath from the pain.
“Let me do it.” Duan Yizhou used his other hand to pick up Pipsqueak. His strong arms firmly held the two one-month-old children in a position similar to an airplane hug. Piglet and Pipsqueak almost stopped crying as soon as they were held by Duan Yizhou, probably because they found it so comfortable that they started making cooing sounds.
Luo Songran lowered his head to take a closer look at Piglet and Pipsqueak, who were starting to suck their hands. For a moment, he seemed to see two mini Duan Yizhous, especially their eyes and eyebrows, which looked so much like Duan Yizhou.
Although they were fraternal twins, they looked quite alike, especially like Duan Yizhou. Otherwise, how could they be so well-behaved?
“Good boy.” He leaned in close to tease his two sons, pinching Piglet’s nose and then Pipsqueak’s ears. Both little ones made soft snorting sounds as their father pinched them, smiling with delight. “Were you this giggly when you were little?”
Duan Yizhou watched as Luo Songran played with the children, his eyes gentle. “Not really, the one who loved to laugh should be you.”
Then, carrying the sons, they walked to the nearby small bar counter.
In the past, the counter was filled with tea leaves, but now the tea cans were pushed to the back. At first glance, all you could see were the children’s milk powder and the glass refrigerator where Luo Songran’s daily goat milk was stored.
“Were you not a giggly child?” Luo Songran saw him reaching for the milk powder, thinking to himself as he wanted to hug their sons.
But just as he reached out to hug Piglet, it suddenly started crying. He silently retracted his hand, attempting to hug Pipsqueak instead, but it also started crying the moment his hand reached out. It seemed like there was something wrong with his touch.
Luo Songran, “…”
Duan Yizhou saw the children crying and gently patted them with his arm, like two cradles. “Daddy isn’t mean, why are you two crying?”
In about two minutes, Piglet and Pipsqueak, who were just crying, gradually stopped. Nestled in their father’s arms, they started sucking on their own hands, looking at Luo Songran again with their eyes like black pearls.
Luo Songran stared back at them, “What’s wrong? Can’t I hug you? Didn’t I carry you both with hardship?”
Then he saw the two little ones giggling at him.
“…”, this made him a little depressed. He looked at Duan Yizhou, “Why don’t they like me hugging them?”
“Maybe they think they’re being good and don’t want to trouble you by letting you carry them.” Seeing Luo Songran looking a bit sad, Duan Yizhou couldn’t help but smile. Otherwise, how could they be his sons if they didn’t enjoy seeing their father get upset? Because it was cute when their father was upset.
“Oh? Is that so?” Luo Songran felt somewhat comforted. He reached out and touched the sparse hair of their sons, “You need to eat more, baldies.”
Just as he finished speaking, Piglet and Pipsqueak started crying again, seeming displeased at being told they had little hair.
“I’ll hold them while you make the milk formula.” Duan Yizhou steadied the two sons and pointed to the nearby cabinet with his chin. “The formula is there.”
Luo Songran suddenly felt at a loss, “Me? Make it?”
To be honest, he hadn’t made milk formula for the children at all during this month of postpartum recovery. Besides fetching the milk formula, he had no idea how much to prepare.
“Yeah, start by taking out the formula. The bottles are in the sterilizer.” Duan Yizhou walked up behind him, wrapping his arms around his waist and pressing the sterilizer button beside him.
As the sterilizer opened, Luo Songran finally noticed the nipples on top. They were right in front of him all along.
“…Oh.”
Then he heard laughter from above, “Why so clueless?”
He turned his head to glare at Duan Yizhou, “Where am I clueless? I just didn’t see it, that’s all.”
Duan Yizhou stood behind him, maintaining the hug, affectionately pressing his head against Luo Songran’s, “Then I’ll teach you how to make it once, and you can do it tomorrow.”
“Making formula isn’t difficult, I’ll definitely get it right the first time, don’t underestimate me.” Luo Songran was suddenly filled with a competitive spirit by Duan Yizhou’s words. He opened the formula can, took out the bottles, “What’s next?”
“First, pour in a hundred milliliters of warm water.”
“How would I know it’s a hundred milliliters?”
“Silly, there are markings on the bottle.”
Luo Songran turned his head and looked at Duan Yizhou pensively, “Duan Yizhou, are you trying to tease me? I’d be really upset if you called me silly again, do you believe that?”
He sounded quite stern.
Duan Yizhou smiled and kissed him gently on the cheek, “Of course, I believe you.”
Luo Songran turned his face away, not letting him kiss, feeling a bit unhappy, “You’re still laughing at me. I won’t be upset. I can learn, why do you say I’m silly?”
“I’m sorry, I won’t laugh anymore.” Duan Yizhou embraced him, teaching him how to make the formula step by step, guiding him to fill the bottle with warm water first, “Then you add two scoops of formula.”
“How do you know it’s two scoops?” Luo Songran raised another question.
Suppressing a laugh, Duan Yizhou said, “The instructions told me.”
Luo Songran saw he was about to laugh again, so he covered his mouth, “Don’t laugh! What’s so funny?” he said, looking at him sadly, feeling his self-esteem had been hurt inexplicably. Always laughing made him feel stupid.
Duan Yizhou saw he was about to cry for real, so he stopped laughing. Even though he found him cute, he didn’t laugh anymore. Then, holding Luo Songran’s hand, he spooned two scoops of formula into the bottle, covered it, and shook it gently with his hands on both sides.
Luo Songran learned very seriously. He was really planning to make milk for the children starting tomorrow. He memorized every step, repeating softly to himself, “Fill the bottle with warm water, add two scoops of formula, shake gently.”
He didn’t notice the adoring gaze behind him.
“Is this how you give it to them?” Luo Songran turned to look at Duan Yizhou, realizing Duan Yizhou was staring at him. He blinked, “Isn’t that right?”
“Yes.” Duan Yizhou truly found this little guy in front of him too adorable now. Unable to resist, he lowered his head and took a bite of his cheek.
Luo Songran couldn’t believe what Duan Yizhou just did, covering his face with his hand, “Duan Yizhou! Did you just bite me?!”
“Because you’re too cute, how come you’re even cuter after giving birth?” Duan Yizhou kissed the spot he had just bitten, “I’m glad you’re mine.”
Luo Songran was somewhat bewildered by the man’s doting, was he doing something cute? “Do you think making formula is cute?”
Is making formula cute? He couldn’t comprehend.
“Cute, especially cute.” Duan Yizhou leaned in to his cheek, whispering softly, “After feeding the babies, it’s my turn, okay?”
Luo Songran, “???” He pointed to the formula can, hesitating, “Do you want some too?”
