Zhuo Linhui: “Didn’t you ask me to come? Let me tell you, tomorrow, it’s my turn with Jiu Jiu.”
Lin Yanchen: “Didn’t I tell you not to come after that?” kDgpu
Zhuo Linhui sneered. “Mr. Lin, do you think I’m just a character who will come and go at your beck and call? In your dreams.”
Wah, it was truly easier to invite the devil in than to send him away. Lin Yanchen regretted it a lot. He said calmly but doubtfully, “Can you take care of the child? It’s not easy to take care of a child. You have to change diapers and wipe his butt, it’s very smelly. You have to bathe him and feed him, and Jiu Jiu will sometimes also throw up his milk. Don’t think it’s just about playing with Jiu Jiu. Can you bear it?”
Zhuo Linhui: “…”
He couldn’t be too boastful; after all, he had never taken care of children before. He really wasn’t sure if he would be able to take care of Jiu Jiu well. R G5Qw
Zhuo Linhui looked at Jiu Jiu in his walker. He was giggling as he stumbled around to chase Chu Xiaopang. Zhuo Linhui was doubtful; could such a lovely and nice-smelling baby have times when he would stink?
Lin Yanchen added, “Yesterday, I took him to the company, and he even threw up milk on my suit.”
Zhuo Linhui: “…”
When Zhuo Linhui was hesitating, Zhan Hongyu came to the door. dShibM
Lin Yanchen was speechless. “Why are you here? Have you finished filming?”
Zhan Hongyu: “I didn’t have too many scenes for this job. I came right after shooting.”
Lin Yanchen repeated what he had just said to Zhuo Linhui, and Zhan Hongyu nodded. “I know, but I think it’s a rare opportunity. To be honest with you, I’m going to play a single father in my next show, and I want to borrow the child to experience what it’s like to be a father… I definitely won’t think it’s too tiresome.”
Hearing this, Chu Xun excitedly stepped forward and said, “The next show you’re filming is about a single father? And you need a frame of reference?” 7evHjV

Lin Yanchen was aggrieved. “I am also very good at taking care of Jiu Jiu though…”
Chu Xun responded harshly, “Lately, Jiu Jiu goes out clean and comes back dirty every day, yet you still think you’re good at taking care of him and won’t even let me take him. We said that we would take turns taking care of him for the day. Instead of waking me up, you secretly take him and leave. I’ve tolerated you for a long time, but do you think that if I don’t scold you, you can just hoodwink your way through? It’s more worthwhile to let Jiu Jiu contribute to the film industry than to be taken to a company to be shown off. Mr. Lin, I advise you to stop before you go too far.”

Lin Yanchen was immediately terrified, but said in a low voice, “He’s not that dirty; yesterday, he knocked over an ink bottle… The day before that, he climbed into a corner… I even gave him a bath… I can’t help it if it won’t wash off.”
Chu Xun massaged his temples. “I even dreamt that you were taking Jiu Jiu and Chu Xiaopang to roll around in some mud…” WNdqMX
Lin Yanchen said hastily, “That would never happen.”
Zhuo Linhui deliberately laughed for Lin Yanchen to hear; it seemed that the latter had left out some details about his own skills.
A small bell hung from Jiu Jiu’s walker. It jingled as he walked around in a circle, and he then walked to his father’s side.
The walker hit Chu Xun. He held out his little hands and grabbed Chu Xun’s pants. “Dad, hug hug.” KDIB42
Chu Xun picked up Jiu Jiu and Jiu Jiu looked at his two godfathers. It had been a while, so he didn’t recognize them very much. Chu Xun said to Zhan Hongyu, “Let’s go. I’ll show you where to get all the things you need for Jiu Jiu.”
Jiu Jiu had a closet of his own, with three wardrobes. They were full of children’s clothes, shoes and hats of all kinds; half of them had been bought by Lin Yanchen himself, and half were sent by Zhuo Linhui. There was also a cabinet of mini jewelry sent by Yuanhao. Chu Xun didn’t really understand it much. Clothes were fine, but Jiu Jiu didn’t need jewelry; he was a boy. However, his godfather would send some small item every three to five days, and Chu Xun didn’t know when the cabinet had become completely full. Usually, they wouldn’t give Jiu Jiu a chain to wear, since it was rather dangerous. Chu Xun had once seen a video of a baby accidentally falling off the bed. In the end, the red rope necklace around his neck caught on the bed post, and the baby suffocated and died.
He had already agreed to let them take care of his child, but at this critical moment, Chu Xun hesitated again.
Zhan Hongyu was considerate and said with gentle understanding, “I won’t let Jiu Jiu out of my sight. I’ll send you short videos every hour or two. You can relax.” KHb3jP
In this way, Jiu Jiu was given over to Zhan Hongyu and Zhuo Linhui’s care for three days, so the two husbands would be free on the weekend.
Actually, when he saw Zhan Hongyu, Chu Xun recalled something. He had invited Zhuang Hanxue to attend Jiu Jiu’s birthday celebration, and he didn’t expect this rascal to actually see Zhan Hongyu.
Zhuang Hanxue said, “Brother, do you know Zhan Hongyu? Are you familiar with him?”
As soon as Chu Xun heard this, he sensed something wasn’t right, and said tactfully, “He’s my husband’s friend.” XtjGWd
Zhuang Hanxue gave an “oh” and said, “It’s Mr. Lin’s friend… Brother, actually… I’m a big fan of Mr. Zhan. I’ve liked him for a long time. Can you introduce us? I will never forget your kindness.”
Chu Xun’s scalp turned numb. Although he had never heard of Zhuang Hanxue getting a boyfriend before, who knew? Before him, Xiao Lin also never had a boyfriend. Chu Xun thought in his heart, bah, if he was a fan, then just stay a fan. All the fans who took the initiative to disturb an idol’s private life were unqualified fans. His mother didn’t even ask for Zhan Hongyu’s phone number. This guy absolutely had impure intentions; he wouldn’t help such a person!
Chu Xun said regretfully, “I’m sorry, I’m really not familiar with him. My husband is familiar with him. You can ask him.”
Zhuang Hanxue was thick-skinned. “Can you ask for me?” gJW3Qy
Chu Xun: “No; if you want to ask, go ask him yourself.”
Zhuang Hanxue had no choice but to give up bitterly. Whether he was able to achieve success through other means, Chu Xun didn’t know.

It just so happened that Zhan Hongyu was here, so Chu Xun asked him if there were any strange people harassing him recently.
Zhan Hongyu thought about it and asked, “Which one are you talking about?” C7hPH9
Chu Xun was shocked. “Are there that many of them?”
Zhan Hongyu said, “There has been one after another. Occasionally, someone will obtain my cell phone number and call me in the middle of the night to chat with me.”
Chu Xun asked, “That extreme?”
Zhan Hongyu said with a smile, “When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.” Lyrqx4
Chu Xun said, “You didn’t scold that person? If it were me, I would have cursed him out. I hate those who disrupt my sleep the most.”
Zhan Hongyu: “No, I didn’t. We must be cautious in the entertainment industry. I only persuaded her not to do it again.”
Chu Xun shook his head. “Aren’t you too gentle?”
Zhan Hongyu: “After persuading her, I put her on the blacklist.” 8CbTvQ
Chu Xun: “…”
Zhan Hongyu and Zhuo Linhui were pretty good at taking care of the child. They didn’t play wildly with him like Lin Yanchen did; they watched educational cartoons with him, played with building blocks, taught him how to walk, and even bought letter flashcards to teach him how to read. Jiu Jiu was very easy; he knew how to call people, and after washing his butt and patting on some baby powder, he would be nice and clean-smelling again.
After Lin Yanchen came back, what he held was as clean and fresh a little baby as ever. He was pleasantly surprised. “You two are actually really good at taking care of him?”
Zhan Hongyu joked, “I also think I’m pretty good. If my job in the entertainment industry goes down the drain in the future, I’ll make money as a male nanny.” i04PQS
Lin Yanchen: “Ha ha ha ha.”
In the evening, they arranged accommodation for the two godfathers.
The house they lived in now was relatively small. At that time, they thought that at most, only one friend would come to stay over occasionally, so they only kept one guest room.
Although the bed was big enough… yIsdv
Zhan Hongyu didn’t mind. “It’s OK. Old Zhuo and I can just squeeze in. It’s a pretty big bed. We have enough room to sleep.”
On the contrary, Zhuo Linhui was a little embarrassed. “Or maybe I can just go find a hotel nearby.”

Zhan Hongyu: “If you go out to look for a hotel, I’ll look for one too.”
Chu Xun: “You two came here to help take care of the child, yet you actually want to lose money?” A5krS7
Lin Yanchen said casually, “Old Zhuo, what are you shy about? Didn’t we all sleep together when we were ten? At that time, we all moved around in our sleep; five of us even slept in one tent together. ”
Zhuo Linhui was embarrassed and could only agree. Even if his good brother Lin Yanchen had come out of the closet and even gotten married, he himself had been deep in the closet for ten years, and he now couldn’t even open his mouth.
Today, when he was taking care of the child, Zhan Hongyu sent a small video of Jiu Jiu drinking milk to his circle of friends.
A director of a TV commercial he had worked with previously commented: Your godson? He’s truly as lovely as snowy jade. I’ve been looking for a beautiful baby to shoot a milk powder commercial recently. Can you help me ask his parents if they would allow their child to appear on camera? The price can be negotiated…
