"I was thinking the same thing," Su Peng nodded, "I’ve already found a master, and he said he’ll fix it as soon as possible."
"Mommy, mommy," Erbao lay in his own little bed, suddenly sat up, smiled at Xiaofeng, and while smiling, stretched his hand towards Xiaofeng, "Mommy, hug."
Xiaofeng couldn’t bother with eating and hurriedly picked up this little cutie.
"Erbao started talking early; he’s only a few months old and can already say quite a few words." He Ximei had never seen a child who spoke so early.
Now, hearing Erbao’s unclear babbling, every word seemed to melt into her heart.
"Mom, I’m happy that Erbao is so lively, but look at Dabao, he does nothing but eat and sleep all day, doesn’t cry or make a fuss, is he too quiet?"
Aren’t all boys naughty and girls gentle? But with her, it seemed entirely reversed.
After learning a few words, Erbao talks nonstop all day long.
In contrast, looking at Dabao beside Erbao’s cuteness and liveliness, something seemed off. As a mother, if there was the slightest issue with a child, of course, she would worry a lot.
With concern on her face, she looked at He Ximei: "Mom, do you think I should take Dabao for a check-up? Just in case there is something, at least we could catch it early, right?"
He Ximei also felt a pang in her heart upon hearing Xiaofeng’s words.
As Su Peng’s brain had been damaged before by a fever, she took Xiaofeng’s question very seriously. If there really was a problem, finding out earlier would mean treatment could start sooner, right?
Uncertain, she said, "Why don’t we go to the city hospital for a check-up?"
The county hospital’s equipment wasn’t up to par; for a real check-up, they naturally had to go to the city hospital.
Hearing his mother and Xiaofeng’s conversation, Su Peng was speechless: "Mom, you aren’t thinking everyone’s got a brain problem because of what happened to me, are you? Look at our Shuhan, how bright his eyes are, just as bright as Ye Cheng’s."
Speaking of Ye Cheng, Su Peng slapped his forehead: "Mom, have you noticed that we never thought Shuhan looked like Ye Cheng before, but now that we look at him, don’t they look alike, especially those eyes, aren’t they really similar?" Before the boy and girl twins had grown up, they both looked like Xiaofeng.
Now, upon another look, Shujun indeed resembles Xiaofeng, but Shuhan clearly does not anymore. His silent, watching-you appearance is particularly like Ye Cheng.
"Now that you mention it, they do look quite alike." Having been prompted by Su Peng, He Ximei discovered that Dabao indeed resembled Ye Cheng a lot: "It’s possible, since Ye Cheng spends a lot of time with them, maybe they’re growing to look like him."
This possibility existed, just like with couples who spend every day together, eating and drinking the same things, and over time, they start to resemble each other in certain aspects, be it temperament or appearance.
This was the so-called couple’s resemblance.
Xiaofeng’s mouth twitched at her mother’s words.
Thinking of a possibility, Su Peng said, "Xiaofeng, could the child be Ye Cheng’s?"
"If he was, wouldn’t he know about it?" Xiaofeng thought about how she had entrusted Old Gu to take care of the paternity test before leaving the Imperial Capital. Regardless of whether Old Gu had told her the result or not, she couldn’t be certain whether the boy and girl twins were Ye Cheng’s.
That made sense; if they were Ye Cheng’s children, he would definitely know: "The city hospital also has limited capabilities. Your older brother is right; he might just love to sleep and not be fond of bustle. Let’s continue to raise him and if there’s still an issue, you can take him to an Imperial Capital hospital later."
Having learned from her past, He Ximei was naturally more cautious in this matter.
If the child was fine, then all was well. But if there was an issue, early treatment at a hospital with good medical standards was all for the better.
"Mom, Ye Cheng cured my illness; is there a need to find someone else? Just have Old Gu take a look. The kids have lived at Gu Family for so long; if there really was an issue, Old Gu would have noticed it. You two are just worrying for nothing," argued Su Peng, looking left and right, seeing no problem with Dabao.
Upon hearing his uncle’s words, Dabao snorted coldly in his heart; indeed, only his uncle had an online IQ—it seemed his mother was probably foolish.
He wasn’t stupid; he just couldn’t be bothered to talk.
What’s wrong with sleeping and watching the sky when there’s nothing else to do?
Suddenly feeling an urge to pee made him shiver, and as he opened his eyes, he met his uncle’s enthusiastic gaze and shuddered.
"Pee pee," Dabao, sparing with words, suddenly uttered two words towards his uncle.
Hearing Dabao’s clear words, Xiaofeng dropped Erbao into He Ximei’s arms, almost ecstatic: "Big guy, did you just speak? Big guy, did you just say something?"
