Ignoring the flustered Li Jiang, Wang Rou got up and went to the wardrobe to find a long-sleeved shirt to put on.

Li Jiang asked while holding the child, "Did I disturb you? I'll take him out right now."

Wang Rou lowered her eyelashes. "What do you think Commander Su was doing out alone at night with the child?"

Li Jiang was taken aback. "What?"

Wang Rou glanced at him and said, "You'll find out when you come with me."

As soon as she stepped outside, Su Li stopped crying.

The lights outside were off, except for a large lamp on the tower, which cast a soft glow on the ground.

Li Jiang knew that Su Lang often went for walks with Doctor Lin.

This was the first time I had taken him and Wang Rou out for a walk in the evening.

Although they had another child, Li Jiang was quite happy, and would occasionally turn his head to glance at his wife's profile.

Wang Rou blushed under his gaze, thankful that the lights weren't bright enough at night for him to notice.

After walking around the family compound a few times, the couple barely exchanged a few words, but their shoulders grew closer and closer together.

Wang Rou could sense it, but she didn't refuse, nor did she want to.

The two of them went home after Su Li had fallen into a deep sleep.

The next morning, as soon as Su Lang stepped out, Li Jiang, who was standing guard beside him, immediately returned Su Li to him.

Su Lang looked down at her youngest son and sighed softly, "You're so useless. You didn't know how to coax your Uncle Li to stay a few more days."

Su Li looked at him and blew a bubble.

By the time Su Li could crawl, it was already Linlin's birthday.

Jiang Chengzhou's attitude towards the youngest child in the family is indifferent. Sometimes he will help make the formula, but he will not take the initiative to tease or play with him.

Linlin was interested in Su Li for a while, but when she found that he did nothing but sleep and eat, and couldn't talk or walk, she gradually lost interest.

On Linlin's birthday, the whole family went to Guangzhou for a day trip and also visited the zoo to see elephants and pandas.

The next day, after returning to the island, Lin Zhilan received another call from Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen wanted to see the child.

Lin Zhilan thought about it and did not refuse.

Zhou Chen is Linlin's biological father, so it's only natural for him to want to see his child.

However, Linlin is still too young. In her mind, Su Lang is her father.

If there's another father, the children might get confused about family relationships.

Therefore, Lin Zhilan does not plan to tell the child now.

Zhou Chen had saved up his vacation days and planned to stay on the island for half a month. Lin Zhilan had to introduce him to the neighbors and the children.

The two agreed over the phone that Zhou Chen would become Su Li's godfather.

This way, we'll have something to say when we interact in the future, and the children won't find it too strange.

Zhou Chen didn't expect Lin Zhilan to do this. He thought it was already very kind of Lin Zhilan to let him see the child.

As soon as Lin Zhilan brought it up, Zhou Chen immediately agreed.

Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't stay at home, so Su Lang discussed it with her parents and prepared a room for Zhou Chen in the village.

A few days later, Zhou Chen arrived.

This time, it was Su Lang who picked him up again.

This time, both sides were much more polite, without the subtle tension that had been building before. Instead, they acted like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

How have you been lately?

"I'm fine, how are you?"

Su Lang smiled and said, "I'm doing well too. Linlin is in first grade this year, and she got first place in both subjects in the midterm exams."

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up when Linlin was mentioned.

The two talked as they walked to the village, put down their things, and went straight home to their family compound.

Su Li is a high-energy child. Ever since she learned to crawl, she has been unwilling to be confined.

Given the chance, it will crawl around everywhere on the ground.

Lin Zhilan had no choice but to find an elderly person nearby who knew how to weave bamboo to make a large bamboo floor mat. She also asked Su Lang to wrap all the table and stool legs in the house with cotton cloth to prevent her youngest son from getting hurt.

Now the entire living room has become Su Li's little playground, where he can roll and crawl around as much as he wants.

But it's also less of a hassle.

After a day of exhausting himself, Su Lang no longer needs to take the children out for a walk in the evening.

As Su Lang accompanied Zhou Chen into the house, Su Li, who was playing on the bamboo mat, twitched her ears and crawled over on all fours, stopping right at Zhou Chen's feet.

He tilted his head back and stared at the strange man in front of him for a long while, then sat down firmly with his round little bottom, raised his hand and stretched out towards Zhou Chen, shouting surprisingly loudly, "Ah!"

Zhou Chen didn't understand what he meant, so he looked at Su Lang.

Su Lang chuckled, "He wants you to hug him."

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, then bent down and scooped the child into his arms.

Su Li wasn't shy at all and kept giggling with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen hadn't expected that Dr. Lin and Su Lang's child would have this kind of personality, and he couldn't help but smile for a moment.

Lin Zhilan came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and smiled when she saw this scene. "That's good. You've been a good godfather. He likes you quite a bit."

Zhou Chen nodded to her, intending to put Su Li down.

Unexpectedly, Su Li clung tightly to his neck and refused to get down.

"Captain Su..."

"I'll go help in the kitchen, you play with him," Su Lang said quickly, and hurried to the kitchen.

Zhou Chen had no choice but to continue holding Su Li, staring at him intently.

When he heard light footsteps outside, Zhou Chen immediately looked towards the door.

Linlin skipped and hopped in, holding her brother's hand.

Seeing Zhou Chen carrying Su Li, the little girl stopped in her tracks and looked at him curiously.

Zhou Chen nervously swallowed, about to speak, when he heard the little girl call out in a clear voice, "Godfather!"

Lin Zhilan had told her that Su Li's godfather would be coming today.

She is Su Li's older sister, and he should also be called her godfather.

Zhou Chen's eyes welled up with tears, but he smiled and agreed.

Jiang Chengzhou, holding his younger sister's hand, greeted her casually, "Hello, Uncle Zhou."

"Hello there."

Linlin broke free from Jiang Chengzhou's hand and ran to the kitchen.

Zhou Chen overheard her coquettishly complaining to Lin Zhilan that her brother had gone to the island to go beachcombing without taking her.

Lin Zhilan listened attentively with her back slightly bent, and patiently comforted her, saying that next time they would go by themselves and not bring her brother.

Linlin tugged at her mother's sleeve, gave her brother a smug smile, and said, "Mom, let's take my brother with us and have him carry the buckets for us."

Jiang Chengzhou walked over and quickly praised Linlin, saying that she was very magnanimous.

Linlin smiled sweetly and made up with her brother as before.

Zhou Chen insisted on coming this time because he knew that Lin Zhilan was pregnant with her own child.

His only worry was that Linlin wasn't doing well.

He had already decided before he came that if Linlin was not doing well here, he would take her back.

He has now established himself, and he will hire a familiar aunt to help cook for the child at home. In short, he will not let Linlin suffer.

But he could tell that Linlin was doing well here.

Children don't hide their feelings; you can tell whether they're comfortable in a family from their words, actions, and expressions.

"Ah!" Zhou Chen was so engrossed in watching that he was suddenly startled by Su Li in his arms.
