Huo Cheng never expected that the baby cried like this because of the eye - contact with him. In his eyes, it was a very tender moment, but in the baby's eyes, his father was just too scary.
Huo Cheng, who didn't understand women's hearts, also didn't understand the baby. As soon as the baby cried, Huo Cheng quickly picked him up to comfort him. But just looking at Huo Cheng had already scared the baby into crying. Now that he was picked up by Huo Cheng and got even closer to him, the baby cried even louder.
Huo Cheng had never encountered such a situation before. He thought the baby didn't like the way he was being held, so he changed his posture. The baby was quiet for a second, as if he hadn't reacted yet. Then he continued to cry!
On the other end of the line, Gu Sisi heard the baby's cries and felt her heart was about to break. She had just wanted to distract Huo Cheng, but now the baby was really crying.
Listening to the baby's intermittent cries, Gu Sisi was in a complete mess. Not being able to see the situation made her even more anxious.
Imagining the scene of Huo Cheng trying to comfort the baby, Gu Sisi silently worried about the baby.
"Hello? Hello? Huo Cheng? Is Huo Cheng still there?"
"Sisi, I'm still here. Go ahead." Huo Cheng held the baby with one hand and the phone with the other, continuing to talk to Gu Sisi.
"Huo Cheng, check if the baby needs a diaper change?"
"Okay!" Huo Cheng put the baby back on the small bed, untied his clothes and checked.
"It's not a diaper problem." Huo Cheng reported to his wife honestly.
"Then... is the baby hungry?" Gu Sisi said tentatively.
Huo Cheng looked around and found the baby's milk powder in the cabinet on one side, as well as the prepared boiled water. He quickly made the milk powder for the baby.
He slowly picked up the baby, found a seemingly suitable posture, and put the pacifier into the baby's mouth. The baby opened his mouth and took it in, and his crying stopped abruptly.
Watching the baby gulping down the milk powder, Huo Cheng looked much gentler. Maybe sensing the change in his aura, the baby got closer to Huo Cheng.
Seeing that the baby finally stopped crying, Huo Cheng let out a sigh of relief. Gu Sisi on the other end of the phone couldn't hear the baby crying anymore, and the stone in her heart also dropped. It seemed that the baby was hungry.
Phew! She was really scared just now. She could hear the baby's loud cries even on the phone, and the baby cried for so long. Gu Sisi was really worried that the baby would cry so hard that he couldn't catch his breath.
Fortunately, the baby was with Huo Cheng. Although Huo Cheng wasn't very good at taking care of children, he had actively taken care of the baby for a while before, so he still had a little experience.
Moreover, Huo Cheng was the baby's biological father after all. One of the reasons why Gu Sisi had always been worried about leaving the baby in the Huo family was that the baby couldn't stay with his biological parents.
How could Gu Sisi be at ease? The life she had experienced in the Huo family had really left quite a shadow on her. During the time the baby was in the Huo family, Gu Sisi had been on tenterhooks, afraid that something might happen to the baby in the Huo family.
Although the baby's cries were loud just now, it meant that he should be in good health. After all, he was a child of the Huo family. The Huo family shouldn't mistreat the child. But Gu Sisi just couldn't stop herself from over - thinking.
Maybe this was what it was like to be a mother. She always thought about all kinds of things. Sometimes she worried that the baby wouldn't have enough to eat or wear, and sometimes she worried that no one in the Huo family would take care of the baby.
Because they were twins, when Gu Sisi looked at the baby at home, she always couldn't help but think of the baby in the Huo family.
Thinking about these two children, who were born of the same mother but had to be separated like this. Now that the children were still young and didn't understand anything, but when they grew up, they couldn't grow up in different environments like this.
"Hello? Hello? Sisi, Sisi?"
"Ah? I'm here, I'm here." Hearing Huo Cheng calling her on the phone, Gu Sisi finally came back to her senses.
Really, why did she suddenly start thinking about the future? Gu Sisi slapped her forehead, annoyed at herself.
"The baby has finished drinking the milk. He's not crying now and is very quiet." Huo Cheng reported the situation to Gu Sisi seriously.
Gu Sisi was just about to tease Huo Cheng for being so serious and formal when dealing with the baby, but the next second she was shocked.
"Baby~ This is Mom on the phone. Do you want to hear Mom's voice? Listen carefully."
God knows, Gu Sisi almost dropped the phone. What did she just hear?!
Huo Cheng was actually comforting the baby, and in that kind of voice, which made Gu Sisi think of a word: puppy - like.
Maybe understanding what Huo Cheng was saying, the baby actually giggled, looking very happy.
Seeing that his son, who had been crying so sadly just now, was now laughing, Huo Cheng also thought it was very amazing.
So Gu Sisi heard Huo Cheng excitedly say into the phone: "Sisi, Sisi, the baby is laughing!"
Gu Sisi covered her forehead, hardly believing that such a childish person could be Huo Cheng.
But she had to admit that she was really envious. Gu Sisi rarely saw the other baby. Most of the time when she saw the baby, he was sleeping. This was the first time she "saw" the baby laugh.
Gu Sisi suddenly thought of something and quickly said to Huo Cheng on the phone, "Huo Cheng, let's have a video call!"
Huo Cheng was stunned for a moment. Then Gu Sisi's video call came in. After answering it, Gu Sisi's worried face appeared on the screen, looking at Huo Cheng.
No, to be precise, she was looking at the baby in Huo Cheng's hands.
Noticing Gu Sisi's gaze, Huo Cheng understood and pointed the camera at the baby. "Baby, I'm Mom."
As soon as she saw the baby, Gu Sisi couldn't wait to greet him.
But the baby didn't seem to know where the voice was coming from. He stretched out his little head and looked around, but didn't notice the phone in his father's hand.
"Baby, Mom is here. Have you been okay these days?"
"Baby, can you see Mom?"
Maybe Gu Sisi's continuous calls worked. The baby finally found that the voice was coming from the phone in Huo Cheng's hand.
Looking at Gu Sisi's face on the phone screen, the baby stretched out his little hand, pointed at Gu Sisi, and then looked up at Huo Cheng, as if he remembered Gu Sisi.
The baby giggled non - stop. It seemed that he was very happy to see Gu Sisi. At this moment, both Huo Cheng and Gu Sisi had mixed feelings.
"Baby, I'm sorry. Mom didn't let you be with your younger brother. Mom didn't make our family reunite. Mom left you alone there. It's Mom's fault."
As she was talking, Gu Sisi felt a little choked up. But seeing the baby smiling at her, Gu Sisi wiped away her tears and forced a smile.
The baby was smiling, and Gu Sisi thought she couldn't cry. She had to be strong.
