Chapter 192.1
Editor: Jodi
When little Cheng Lin turned three, Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu finally went to the orphanage to adopt another child.
But before they went, Lin An Lan said to little Cheng Lin, “We might be bringing big brother home in a few days, and when he comes, baby has to get along with big brother.”
Tilting his head, Cheng Lin looked at him curiously, “Big brother? What big brother?”
“Baby’s big brother.”
“I have a big brother?”
“You do.” Lin An Lan said gently. “His name is similar to yours. His full name is Lin Cheng, and his nickname is Xiao Qi, the same as the first part of your nickname, Xiao Qilin.”
“Then why isn’t big brother at home?”
“Because when you were little, daddy was very busy taking care of you and didn’t have time to take care of big brother, so he had to stay with Auntie for a while. But now that you’ve grown up a little bit, daddy can bring big brother home so we can take care of him together.”
Cheng Lin nodded, seemingly understanding, yet seemingly not understanding at the same time, then he patted his chest and said, “I’m a big boy now, so big brother can come home.”
“Exactly.” Lin An Lan smiled, stroking his hair.
“Then what does big brother look like?” Xiao Lin was curious. “Does big brother know me?”
“He’ll know you when he sees you, and when you meet him, you’ll know what he looks like too.”
Xiao Lin nodded again, then spent the whole day preparing for his big brother’s arrival.
When Lin An Lan was cooking lunch, he run into the kitchen with his short legs and asked, “Daddy, will big brother sleep with me? Which room will big brother stay in?”
“He’ll stay in the room next to yours. If he wants to sleep with you, then you can sleep together. But your big brother is older than you, so he might be shy and prefer to sleep alone.”
Xiao Lin nodded, then ran out of the kitchen, only to come back later, just before it was time to eat, holding a big stuffed qilin toy. “Daddy, this is for big brother.”
“Okay.” Lin An Lan chuckled. “But daddy is making lunch right now, so why don’t you put the toy in your big brother’s room first, then come back to eat?”
Xiao Lin responded with an ‘oh’, then dashed off with the stuffed animal.
The nanny followed behind him, thinking that he was really an energetic and enthusiastic little child.
Cheng Yu had a business dinner today, so it was just Lin An Lan, Cheng Lin, and the nanny at home.
The nanny didn’t usually eat with them. Most of the time, she was there to help take care of Cheng Lin, and over time, they became familiar with each other, so after a while, she’d asked if she could go home for a few hours during lunch and dinner so she could cook for her child.
And since Lin An Lan had just finished filming and had planned a half-year break, he agreed kindly.
This nanny had been with their baby ever since he was first brought to the Cheng family, taking care of him diligently over the years, what’s more there was good rapport between them, so Lin An Lan was very sympathetic to her situation.
“This is for you.” Lin An Lan handed her a box of milk. “The endorser sent a few boxes. Take one home for your child’s breakfast.”
“Okay, thank you Mr. Lin.”
“It’s no problem at all.”
Xiao Lin waved his little hand at her, “Bye-bye, Auntie.”
“Bye-bye, baby. I’ll see you tonight.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Xiao Lin smiled sweetly, well-behaved.
After the nanny left, Lin An Lan tied Xiao Lin’s bib for him, then sat him in his high chair so he could eat.
“Will big brother eat with us tomorrow?” Xiao Lin was obviously still thinking about the big brother he hadn’t met before.
“Probably not tomorrow. It’ll be a few days.”
“Oh.”
“Then can I go with you to pick big brother up?”
“No.” Lin An Lan put some scrambled eggs on his plate. “Big brother is shy, so Daddy will go and pick him up first. It has been a while since baby visited Grandpa right? How about going to grandpa’s house tomorrow? Your grandpa and great-grandpa miss you.”
“Okay!” Xiao Lin beamed. “Then I’ll go see grandpa and great-grandpa , and Daddy will go and see big brother.”
“En.” Then seeing that he was more focused on talking than eating, Lin An Lan couldn’t help but urge him, “Eat. Let’s race and see who finishes first.”
Xiao Lin immediately picked his little spoon up, scooped rice up, then took a huge bite.
Lin An Lan smiled, thinking in his heart that little children were really cute and easy to trick.
He pretended to eat slowly, lost the race, then said with a regretful tone, “Ai-ya, baby has finished eating.”
Xiao Lin was very proud, “En, I finished!”
“So amazing.”
After Lin An Lan finished the last bite, he wiped Cheng Lin’s mouth, untied his bib, then lifted him out of the chair.
