When they got home, the first thing Tang Xiao did was to look for the outfit.

“Come! Come! Let’s quickly get our An An changed!”

“Hold on.” Tang Xiao paused and then asked Su Rui, “Shouldn’t we wash it first?”

“I’ll feed my son some baby formula first. If you want to see him in it, go and wash it. Choose the one with the anti-bacterial wash and drying function.”

“O.K.”

“How long will this take?” Tang Xiao asked as she placed that outfit and the other clothes she bought for Gu An An today into the washing machine.

“Probably twenty minutes.”

“That long? Your son won’t be asleep by then, will he?”

“Don’t worry, he won’t.”

Gu An An slept too much during the day. Hence, he was extremely energetic at this time of the evening.

This was one of the things that made his dad very unhappy.

There were several times when they thought Gu An An was asleep. However, this little guy was just quietly nibbling on his fingers. Then, this guy started to fuss and wanted to drink milk because he was hungry when the two of them were at the particular pivotal moment.

Half an hour later, they looked at the stark-naked Gu An An, who had bathed, wrapped in a bath towel, and was lying on the bed as he played intently with his fingers.

A mother and a godmother have finally extended their ‘magic grips’.

The bottom half of the dress was a fishtail of blue-green gradient knitted fleece. They directly placed Gu An An’s chubby legs into it.

When the two legs were put together, Gu An An stomped his feet a few times discontentedly.

After that, Gu An An quickly forgot about his legs after being teased a few times by Su Rui taking out his favourite ugly black caterpillar toy.

“Haha! It’s so cute!” Tang Xiao said with her eyes glimmering.

“How about this? Let’s leave his upper body bear? By doing so, our An An is a cute, pretty boy merman!” Tang Xiao said as she fiddled with Gu An An’s “little tail”.

“No. My son will be exposed.”

Su Rui struggled for a moment. Then, finally, she dressed her son in the small vest with two short fleece shells on the front.

Sure enough, it was even cuter.

“Come on, son. Let’s give you another hairpin.”

Su Rui styled Gu An An’s hair to a side part and clipped the two matching small hair clips on Gu An An’s head.

“Oh my, it’s adorable to death!”

“Come on, let’s pose for a picture in a normal side-lying position.”

Gu An An, who didn’t know what these two “snake charmers” did to him, was still playing intently with the toy in his hand.

When Su Rui carried him to change his position, he only wrinkled his nose slightly and did not resist in any way.

“Okay, just like that!”

“I’m taking it now.”

Tang Xiao suddenly looked at Su Rui before she took the photo. She looked at the black caterpillar toy in Gu An An’s hand and said with a disgusted expression, “Say, Su Xiao Rui, can’t you just remove that thing your son is holding first? It’s so ugly and out of place.”

“No way. This is Gu An An’s favourite.” Su Rui waved her hand and said, “The one and only.”

Gu An An usually wouldn’t let go of it once it is given to him until he falls asleep.

“Gosh. Your son’s aesthetics are very peculiar.” Tang Xiao asked with her eyes widened, “Who bought this for him? It’s so ugly.”

“His dad.”

“You are saying that Gu Yu Cheng bought it. I… Hahahaha!”

“Enough. Stop laughing.”

Su Rui said while taking advantage of his own son’s lack of attention and swiftly snatched away the black caterpillar from his hand.

Su Rui took the caterpillar, tied a knot in her hand, and stuffed the two corners together. It barely curled into a ball. Then, while Gu An An’s face scrunched up in aggravation and he was about to cry, she shoved the ball back into his hands.

“There. Sea urchin. Now, it doesn’t feel out of place anymore, right?”

Tang Xiao: …

It’s not out of place anymore, but it’s still ugly!

However, it looks like Gu An An really couldn’t part with his ugly sea urchin… Oh no, it is an ugly caterpillar. Hence, Tang Xiao forced herself to ignore that black ball in the camera.

If the worst comes to the worst, she could photoshop a giant pearl or an octopus ball that look better than this after taking the photo!

“Done! Super cute!” After consecutively taking over ten photos, Tang Xiao put away her phone in satisfaction.

Su Rui said, “You’re not allowed to post on Moments.[1]”

“Fine, fine, I will set it as private, okay?” Tang Xiao said, bending down again and tapping Gu An An’s nose.

“Gu An An, I, as your future mother-in-law, am in possession of your early childhood black history.[2] You better watch your back if you mistreat my daughter in the future.”

……

Gu Yu Cheng didn’t return until almost midnight. And, of course, that is the same for Zhou Zi Yuan, who came to pick up his girlfriend.

It was so late that Tang Xiao almost wondered if the men really finished their drinks and went somewhere to fool around.
