Ch 475: “i Didn’t Realize Taking Care Of A Baby Was So Much Trouble,” Said Big Sister
Philia was feeling a little troubled lately.
“Sigh, Xiao Jiu.”
Philia placed Xiao Jiu on her lap and stroked its fur. Xiao Jiu sensed Philia’s unhappiness and turned to look at its little master.
“Although Philia knows that Brother Hiel still needs care, Philia is really bored now. Father and Mother are constantly taking care of Hiel, and Sister Xiaoyue is always busy, the adults don’t have time to play with Philia.”
After listening to Philia’s troubles, Xiao Jiu rubbed against Philia’s hand.
“Xiao Jiu is still the best.”
Just then, Bal and Phia suddenly carried Hiel into the living room.
“Philia, come here.”
Bal beckoned to Philia. Philia walked over holding Xiao Jiu. Unexpectedly, Phia directly placed Hiel in front of Philia.
“Father and Mother have something to go out for a while, can Philia take good care of her brother?”
Philia nodded vigorously.
“No problem!”
“Good, we believe Philia can take good care of her brother.”
After Bal and Phia instructed Philia on some things about taking care of Hiel, they went out together. Philia sat on the sofa holding Hiel, and Xiao Jiu lay beside Philia.
“Hiel, Philia is your sister, oh. Come, call Sister~”
“A-wu a-wu~”
Hiel is already a month and a half old. Although he can’t speak yet, he often makes “a-wu a-wu” sounds.
“So good, Hiel is great!”
Philia held Hiel in one arm, and used her free hand to pinch Hiel’s little face.
“So soft, are all babies’ faces this soft?”
Hiel seemed to like this sister very much. He reached out and grabbed one of Philia’s fingers and started to play. Philia cooperated with Hiel very well. She felt that being a sister was to take care of her brother.
Xiao Jiu also came to Hiel’s side. Hiel was not afraid of Xiao Jiu at all, or rather, he was not afraid of anyone. When he was a month old, he saw Nirvana’s face, a face that even the Guard Unit members looked at with shining eyes, and he didn’t even cry; he even smiled at Nirvana. This is enough to prove how big this child’s heart is. Hiel let go of Philia’s finger and reached out to Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu didn’t understand, it tilted its head and looked at Philia.
“Xiao Jiu, Hiel wants to shake hands with you. Stretch out your paw and shake hands with Hiel!”
Xiao Jiu tentatively stretched out a front paw in front of Hiel, afraid of hurting Hiel. Hiel was fearless, the little guy directly grabbed Xiao Jiu’s front paw and started to shake it. Feeling Hiel’s enthusiasm, Xiao Jiu also became happy. It rubbed its head against Hiel’s. Fortunately, Philia had been grooming Xiao Jiu every day recently, otherwise, if loose fur fell on Hiel’s face, Hiel would have cried.
After playing with Philia and Xiao Jiu for a while, Hiel closed his eyes; he was sleepy. This is how babies are; their energy is easily depleted.
“Xiao Jiu, be gentle, Hiel is going to sleep.”
Philia softly told Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu nodded, and it directly lay down beside Hiel to act as a pillow.
“Philia, did Bal and Phia go out?”
Nia came down from upstairs. She saw Philia taking care of Hiel in the living room, so she went to Philia and asked.
“Yes, Father and Mommy said they had something to go out for a while, and Hiel was left to Philia to take care of.”
“Oh~ Philia is a qualified sister.”
“Hehe.”
“Xiao Jiu is also very well-behaved, oh.”
Nia casually touched Xiao Jiu’s head. Xiao Jiu didn’t want to move its body, so it wagged its tail to show its happiness.
“But what urgent matter did they have that required both of them to go out, even leaving the child at home? Oh, right, speaking of which, I didn’t see Xiaoyue today, where is Xiaoyue?”
“Sister Xiaoyue went to see Sister Xiaoguang last night. She seems to have said that Sister Xiaoguang is sick, and she’s going to take care of Sister Xiaoguang and Mrs. Zeril.”
“So that’s how it is. Alright, then I’ll stay at home and help you take care of Hiel.”
“Doesn’t Sister Nia need to go to work?”
Philia’s words, full of concern and innocence, pierced Nia’s heart, and Nia covered her chest.
“Sister, I’m a freelancer.”
“Um, Philia doesn’t understand.”
“You’ll know when the time comes. By the way, what does Philia want to eat? Sister will make it for you.”
Nia quickly changed the subject; she didn’t want to discuss this matter anymore.
“Philia wants to eat biscuits!”
“Okay, okay, Sister will make them for you right away.”
After rubbing Philia’s head, Nia got up and went to the kitchen. Philia saw Xiao Jiu wanting to go too, so she held Hiel in her arms.
“Go, Xiao Jiu. But don’t eat too much, oh.”
Xiao Jiu nodded, and it spread its wings and flew towards the kitchen.
Philia looked at the sleeping Hiel, wondering if she had also liked to sleep like Hiel when she was a child. After an hour, Hiel woke up in Philia’s arms, he cried, and Philia quickly took Hiel to the kitchen.
“Sister Nia, Hiel is hungry!”
“Eh?! But…but Sister doesn’t have milk to feed him!”
Nia’s face turned red, Philia was a little helpless, and she continued.
“It’s not about Sister feeding milk, Sister, quickly heat some milk, Mommy said Hiel can drink milk now.”
“Oh, oh, I’ll do it right away!”
Philia coaxed Hiel while watching Nia heating the milk in a flustered manner. Fortunately, Nia was quite quick-witted; after heating the milk, she poured it into a bowl. Philia had Nia get a spoon, she scooped up some milk with the spoon and tasted it first, confirming that the temperature was right before feeding it to Hiel. After drinking the milk, Hiel stopped crying, and he quietly enjoyed Philia feeding him.
“Sister Nia, is there a burnt smell?”
Philia turned to ask Nia, and Xiao Jiu on the table next to Nia also started jumping anxiously.
“Ah! Biscuits!”
Fortunately, Philia discovered it in time, and the biscuits weren’t completely ruined. Nia tearfully ate the burnt ones on the side.
“Wuwuwu, I didn’t expect Sister-in-law’s skill to be so good.”
“It seems Sister Nia needs more practice!”
“Yes, when Hiel grows up, Sister will make cakes for Hiel to eat!”
Hiel, upon hearing this, acted like he heard a scary story, and he cried out loud. Philia coaxed him for a long time before he calmed down.
The whole morning, Hiel drank milk twice and cried three times. Philia felt a little tired.
“I didn’t expect taking care of a child to be so troublesome, Father and Mother really work hard.”
“Yeah, Brother and Sister-in-law really work hard.”
Philia and Nia leaned on the sofa, they were exhausted. Even the lively Xiao Jiu was tired.
“Philia, we’re back.”
Bal and Phia opened the door. They saw Nia, Philia, Hiel, and Xiao Jiu all asleep, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’ll go and carry Philia back, lest she catches a cold.”
Bal carried Hiel to Phia’s arms, then he carried Philia and Xiao Jiu to Philia’s room, put Philia on the bed and covered her with a quilt, then Bal casually took a blanket and covered Nia.
That night.
“Achoo!”
Nia caught a cold.
