“Thank you, Little Uncle!” Wei Ji thanked Lin Yin tactfully.

When Lu Ming heard the phrase ‘Little Uncle’, all the cells in his body instantly became chaotic. “Wei Ji, what did you call me?”

He remembered that Wei Ji had not called him that in the past.

Wei Ji looked up at Lu Ming innocently, his eyes filled with innocence and confusion. “I call you Little Uncle. I was thinking that since Yinyin calls you Little Uncle, I should call you that too. It’s more respectful to elders.”

Lin Yin lowered her head slightly and almost laughed out loud hearing Wei Ji explain so seriously.

Lu Ming was so angry that he laughed. He went forward and took Lin Yin’s share, then pulled Lin Yin up and sat on a chair at the side.

Under Lin Yin and Wei Ji’s confused gazes, Lu Ming said righteously, “Since I’m your elder, I should worry more about you. A man and a woman are alone. The two of you should keep a distance from each other in the future.”

Lin Yin’s teasing gaze sized up Lu Ming’s face. She wanted to say a few jokes, but she restrained herself when she thought of Wei Ji beside her.

Lu Ming felt a little uncomfortable under Lin Yin’s gaze. He could only pick up a spoonful of porridge with a serious expression and carefully blow it cold. He brought it to Lin Yin’s mouth and said, “Come, eat!”

Since Lin Yin didn’t feed him, he could at least feed Lin Yin, right? With this in mind, Lu Ming felt much better.

Lin Yin widened her eyes in surprise, not knowing what Lu Ming was doing.

Lu Ming glanced at Lin Yin indifferently seeing that she didn’t open her mouth. “Why? Didn’t you eat well when I fed you previously?”

Wei Ji tightened his grip on the spoon. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable with Lu Ming and Lin Yin saying such things.

This discomfort made Wei Ji forget his past softness. He couldn’t help but say, “Little Uncle, it’s not appropriate for an elder like you to feed a junior like this, right?”

The coldness in Wei Ji’s voice made Lu Ming raise his eyebrows slightly. This Wei Ji was not someone who could keep his composure. He was no longer pretending to be a little white rabbit.

“As an elder, how is it inappropriate for me to care for the younger generation? Besides, I fed Yinyin like this when she was sick. I think Yinyin is already used to it. An outsider like you won’t understand,” Lu Ming said provocatively.

Wei Ji felt inexplicably angry. “In that case, I’m also Little Uncle’s junior. I’m also injured now. Will Little Uncle feed me like this? Will Little Uncle care for me like this?”

Wei Ji’s words were even colder this time. Lin Yin looked at Wei Ji in surprise. When he met Lin Yin’s gaze, Wei Ji realized that he seemed to have gone overboard.

On the other hand, Lu Ming looked at Wei Ji coldly. Then, he chuckled and put down the spoon in his hand. He asked with interest, “You mean, you want me to feed you?”

Wei Ji looked at Lin Yin awkwardly and could only bite the bullet. “If Little Uncle doesn’t think it’s troublesome.”

Lu Ming smiled and stood up. He walked to the stool beside Wei Ji’s bed and sat down. “It’s not troublesome. How can it be troublesome?”

Hence, Lu Ming picked up the bowl gently, scooped up the porridge, and brought it to Wei Ji’s mouth under Wei Ji’s slightly terrified gaze. He raised his eyebrows slightly. “Aren’t you going to open your mouth?”

Wei Ji looked at Lin Yin for help. He had just said that casually. In his opinion, Lu Ming would never feed him. God knew what was wrong with Lu Ming?

A mature and cold man and a delicate and cute little boy. This scene was inexplicably harmonious. Lin Yin only blinked at Wei Ji and smiled.

“Why? An elder is feeding you. Are you going to decline such a big deal?” Lu Ming still had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of coercion in his words.

Lin Yin couldn’t stand it anymore and was caught between laughter and tears. “Alright, Little Uncle. Wei Ji was just joking. Do you have to be so calculative with a little boy?”

Wei Ji looked at Lin Yin gratefully and pitifully. Lu Ming saw this and stared at Wei Ji warningly for a while.

Lu Ming moved his seat and sat between Lin Yin and Wei Ji, blocking Wei Ji’s gaze seeing that Wei Ji was about to look pitifully at Lin Yin again.

Lu Ming stuffed the porridge in his hand into Wei Ji’s mouth before Wei Ji could react. “Since I’ve picked up the bowl, I naturally have to care for the younger generation.”
