Chapter 586: 585: Little Tiger Calls Daddy (Third Update)

They decided to participate in the national competition.

Joe returned to the eSports arena.

He started to get busy.

All of the team members returned, fully committed to the global tournament.

Luo Xiaolang was naturally one of them.

She really wanted to win a world championship for Joe now.

Due to the continuous intense training, Luo Xiaolang often sent the little tiger back to the Yin Family.

Every time she delivered him personally, but never ran into Yin Qin.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Of course, she often visited the Yin Family villa during working hours, so it was normal not to run into him.

In a blink of an eye, another four months passed.

Four months.

Song Zhizhi’s belly was big and round.

Only one month left before the baby was due.

Her belly was as round as a ball, and her entire body had also become chubbier.

When Song Zhizhi saw her rotund figure reflected in the mirror while bathing, she found it somewhat amusing.

If Ji Baijian saw her like this, would he be disgusted?

As always, she visited Ji Baijian’s hospital room every day, accompanying him, spending most of her time there, except for occasionally taking walks in the hospital’s backyard garden, belly bared to the sun.

She wondered if Ji Baijian would never wake up.

It had been so long.

The doctors had already given up.

She struggled to sit next to Ji Baijian.

Looking at his increasingly gaunt face.

She said, “Ji Baijian, today I suddenly felt pain in my pubic bone. The doctor said the baby is putting pressure on me.”

After every sentence Song Zhizhi spoke, she always paused, as if waiting for Ji Baijian to respond.

Even if she doesn’t get a response.

She continued, “It’s so hard to be pregnant, and I’ve gained a lot of weight. Now I’m as ugly as you, so you don’t have to feel burdened. We’re both ugly together.”

“Oh right, the doctor asked me today if I should choose a cesarean or natural childbirth, which one do you think is better?”

“Ji Baijian, I suddenly really want to eat the noodles you made. Ever since I got pregnant, I’ve been craving them. But despite trying lots of takeouts from many restaurants, I can’t find your taste.”

“Ji Baijian, giving birth… will it be very painful?”

“Ji Baijian, I really hope you can be by my side when I give birth.”

“Ji Baijian, I want you to be the first person to meet this baby…”

Song Zhizhi had not cried for a long, long time.

Because she always thought she was strong, she thought she had completely accepted the sight of Ji Baijian not waking up, but at this moment, with the baby’s arrival approaching, she suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.

She wanted it to be like ordinary families, with the nurse bringing out the baby, asking, “Who is the baby’s father?”

The father would then be the first to hold the baby.

Song Zhizhi’s eyes fluttered.

Tears fell on Ji Baijian’s cheek.

She leaned against his body, saying, “Ji Baijian, I want you to wake up and hold me, I miss you, I miss you so much….”

…

Luo Xiaolang was heading abroad to compete.

She would be gone for three months.

She sent the little tiger back.

That day, they had finished the training camp, it was evening.

It was past 8 p.m. when Joe drove Luo Xiaolang, Little Tiger, and Mrs. Wu back to the Yin residence.

Everyone in the Yin family was home then.

Including Yin Qin.

Yin Qin was clearly taken aback when he saw Luo Xiaolang.

He was playing with his younger brother in the living room at the time. The moment he saw Luo Xiaolang, he stiffened for a few seconds, then deliberately shifted his gaze and continued to focus on his brother.

Qin Keqin knew Luo Xiaolang was going to bring the little tiger back tonight.

But Qin Keqin did not inform Yin Qin.

After such a long time, Qin Keqin could feel that Yin Qin was intentionally avoiding Luo Xiaolang. She was certain that if she mentioned Luo Xiaolang’s arrival tonight, Yin Qin would undoubtedly leave without any hesitation.

“Xiaolang, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Finally, you’re here. Come, little tiger, come to grandma.” Qin Keqin greeted them warmly.

The little tiger rushed into Qin Keqin’s arms.

The little tiger was often sent here, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with them.

He snuggled against Qin Keqin affectionately.

While Qin Keqin was cozying up to the little tiger, she invited Luo Xiaolang and Joe to sit on the couch.

Unobtrusively, Yin Qin held his brother, ready to walk away.

“Yin Qin.” Qin Keqin called out to him.

Yin Qin hesitated.

“Hand your brother to your dad and come hold the little tiger.” Qin Keqin instructed.

Yin Qin glanced at her.

Before he could act, Yin Bin had already conscientiously taken his son.

Yin Qin stepped forward and took the little tiger from Qin Keqin’s hands.

At this moment, Luo Xiaolang was sitting next to Qin Keqin.

She seemed to give Yin Qin a glance.

Yin Qin didn’t look at her.

Yin Qin held the little tiger in his arms.

The little tiger seemed to recognize Yin Qin, and he excitedly smiled at him.

At that moment, Yin Qin was also amused by the little tiger.

Holding the little tiger, he walked to a children’s playground nearby.

Because there were two more children at home, Qin Keqin had arranged for a simple play area for the kids at home, which turned out to be quite useful.

In this instance, it relieved a lot of awkwardness for Yin Qin.

Looking at her son acting stubbornly, Qin Keqin rolled her eyes in speechlessness.

She turned her head and enthusiastically asked Luo Xiaolang, “Xiaolang, are you leaving tomorrow?”

“Yeah, I have a flight tomorrow afternoon.”

“How long will the competition abroad last?”

“About three months.”

“So long?”

“Yes.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.

“Don’t worry, we’ll take care of the little tiger.”

“Thank you, Aunt.”

“What for? The little tiger is my grandson too.” Qin Keqin said with a smile.

Luo Xiaolang did not act too politely.

At this moment.

Qin Keqin’s son suddenly started to fuss.

Yin Bin glanced at the time and told Qin Keqin, “It’s feeding time.”

Qin Keqin looked at her son with some disgust.

The more her son resembled Yin Qin, the more disgusted she felt.

She held her son and said to Xiaolang, “Wait for me for a while. I’ll go to feed the baby, don’t leave just yet, I want to chat with you a little more.”

“Sure.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.

Upon seeing Yin Qin agree, Qin Keqin wrapped her son up and went upstairs for feeding, with Yin Bin naturally following her.

Only Yin Qin, Luo Xiaolang, and Joe were left in the living room. At this moment, Yin Qin was playing with the little tiger. The little tiger was happily playing with blocks.

Luo Xiaolang and Joe didn’t greet Yin Qin, they were discussing their trip abroad tomorrow, looking intimate.

Fortunately, Yin Qin didn’t look at them, his entire focus was on the little tiger, watching him trying to stack the blocks.

Yin Qin helped him set them up.

The little tiger gave Yin Qin a happy smile, and at that moment, said in his mouth, “Daddy.”

Yin Qin was stunned.

Could the little tiger talk?

He had called “Daddy, Mommy” before, but it was clearly different now. Now it was obviously intentional.

He quickly turned his head, excited to tell Luo Xiaolang, but as he turned, he saw Luo Xiaolang and Joe looking very happy, with Joe gently touching Luo Xiaolang’s head, as if they were expressing their affection for each other, an interaction only seen in intimate couples.

Yin Qin flickered his eyes.

He shifted his gaze, seeming calm, calmly kissed the little tiger, praising, “Son, you’re amazing.”

He already knows him as his dad.

After Qin Keqin had fed her son, she talked with Xiaolang a bit more, Luo Xiaolang and Joe proposed to head back.

Luo Xiaolang reluctantly walked towards the little tiger.

The little tiger was also very excited seeing his mom.

Luo Xiaolang picked up the little tiger from Yin Qin’s side, and Yin Qin rose from the cushion as well.

Luo Xiaolang and the little tiger had a tender moment.

Joe came over, “It’s getting late.”

Saying so, he also took the little tiger.

The little tiger turned to Joe and in his adorable voice said, “Daddy.”

Yin Qin, standing on the side at that moment, was completely livid.

Did this ungrateful brat call everyone dad?

After being excited for so long just now, he felt let down.

Joe held the little tiger for a while, and then handed him to Yin Qin, “Please take care of the little tiger.”

The little tiger was his son!

Yin Qin suppressed his emotions, “Yeah. Focus on the competition, we await your honor for the country.”

Joe smiled.

Yin Qin urged, “It’s late, your flight is tomorrow, early return would be better.”

“I’ll take Xiaolang and go then.” Joe said to Yin Qin, and also to Yin Bin and Qin Keqin.

“Drive safely.” Qin Keqin reminded.

“Sure.”

Joe left embracing Luo Xiaolang.

As they were leaving, Luo Xiaolang seemed to look back.

She saw Yin Qin holding the little tiger, continuing to play on the ground, his attention still on the little tiger.

She followed Joe and left, giving a backward glance.
