Out of the four sons, the third, Jialue, had eyes that resembled Gu Mengmeng the most. It was black with a tinge of coffee brown, a little like amber. Also, Jialue had eyes bigger, rounder than Gu Mengmeng’s, making it innocent and much cuter. It was because of this pair of eyes, that Jialue became the only one out of the four sons that could receive the love and smiles from Elvis.
Five weeks later, Elvis and Lea both wanted Gu Mengmeng to stop breastfeeding the four sons. This made Gu Mengmeng very resistant to the idea.
“Who only feeds their son with just a month of milk? Back where I was, it was normal to breastfeed until at least a year old, even if the situation did not allow so, at least we would have to feed for a full eight months?” Gu Mengmeng pulled Elvis’ hand, pleading for her sons.
Jialue hung on Elvis’ shoulder, shouting twice, although it was not known what he said.
However, Gu Mengmeng retorted instantly, “See, even our son said, one month is too short. This is torture, it is inhumane torture!”
Elvis raised his head and met Gu Mengmeng’s gaze, replying seriously, “I am a wolf, and there is no humanity in the wild. Furthermore, what Jialue said was that they have already started growing teeth, so they can eat the meat Lea cooks, it’s fine to stop breastfeeding.”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea suspiciously, asking, “Really? Did Jialue really say that?”
Lea nodded, expressing what Elvis said was true.
Elvis’ expression darkened, “I would never lie to you.”
Gu Mengmeng carried Jialue down from Elvis’ shoulders, turned around and secretly poked his little nose, murmuring, “Mummy is trying to fight for your welfare, why are you turning against me?”
Elvis stood up, hugging Gu Mengmeng from behind and placed his chin on her neck, saying gently, “Because this little one has half your blood, so he has humanity and conscience. He knows it is not right to use up mummy’s nutrients, as males, they should live on their own terms.”
Gu Mengmeng shrugged, unhappy, “How do five-week old children live on their own? Are you crazy?”
Lea added at the right time, “They have already started growing teeth. If they do not stop breastfeeding, it is highly likely they can accidentally scratch your skin. To protect you, they will feed with their gums habitually, which can affect the growth of their sharp teeth, in the future… If they face trouble, teeth that are not sharp enough may cause them to lose their lives.”
“But…” Gu Mengmeng wanted to retort, but found her retorts useless.
True, her and Elvis could protect the little wolves, but can they look after them forever, not letting them become independent?
What is taken as a matter of fact in the modern world has become being spoiled here?
Gu Mengmeng sank into deep thought, feeling rather low.
She did not know what she was feeling upset about, only feeling… her sons seemed like they need not rely on her as much.
Jialue shouted twice in her arms, his child-like voice had the power of making him more lovable. Gu Mengmeng kissed his head, “Didn’t it take such a short time for you guys to not need mummy?”
Jialue wagged his tail, sticking out his tongue and licked Gu Mengmeng’s face, then tilted his head at her without a word, but Gu Mengmeng felt his care.
“Are you comforting mummy?” Gu Mengmeng smiled, “Mummy is too useless, she just let a five-week old baby to comfort her.”
“Owh owh owh~” The other three also gathered at Gu Mengmeng’s feet, clawing at her tiny legs shouting with their child-like voices, as if they were saying, “Don’t worry mummy, we would not leave your side.”
