Chapter 1316 Silky Examines Xi's Body
The nursery on the second floor at this moment.
Shen He sat sideways on a soft, plush children's playmat, wearing a loose-fitting light-colored pajamas set, his long hair still tied up in what was described as a "very dangerous hairstyle."
Her gaze fell tenderly on the baby in front of her, Shao Yun and Ying's daughter, Xi.
The eight-month-old baby was wearing a pink onesie, his chubby little hands supporting him on the playmat, trying hard to move his body forward.
For eight-month-old Xi, sitting up is no longer a problem; she is currently in the "crawl enlightenment" stage.
She was lying on the playmat she had bought from Fontainebleau, her little bottom slightly sticking up, her two little legs kicking back and forth like a little caterpillar trying to wriggle.
Occasionally, he would use too much force and spin around on the spot, which would make Shen He chuckle softly.
"Take it slow, don't rush. First, support yourself with your hands, then try moving your knees. You'll be able to crawl soon."
However, Xi has only shown initial signs of crawling. Her little arms and legs are not strong enough to support her in completing the standard crawling movements. It will probably take another ten days to half a month before she can truly learn to "crawl forward using both hands and feet".
Even so, Shen He's eyes were still full of doting as he watched the little one try his best.
Just then, the door to the nursery was gently pushed open, and Shao Yun walked in with Silky.
Hearing the noise, Shen He pulled Xi into his arms and let her sit steadily on his lap.
The little one was suddenly picked up, and with his big, round eyes wide open, he looked curiously toward the door. When he saw the familiar figure, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Come on, baby, say hello to your dad." Shen He held Xi's chubby little fist and waved it gently.
Xi looked at Shao Yun as he walked in, her little mouth opened wide, revealing her newly sprouted teeth, and she smiled, as if welcoming her father's arrival.
That soft, sweet laughter, like a little bell, instantly warmed Shao Yun's heart.
Shao Yun quickly walked to the floor mat, squatted down in front of Shen He, and gently patted Xi's chubby little hand. His heart was melted by her adorable appearance.
"Oh, my sweet daughter, did you miss your dad? Shen He, how was my daughter today? Did she misbehave?"
Sitting on the floor mat, Shen He gently pressed his face against the top of the baby's head in his arms, rubbing the soft hair, then looked up with a happy smile on his face.
"She's been very good as always. She drank a whole bottle of milk this morning and ate her complementary food well at noon. She was even trying hard to crawl just now."
"And the baby will soon learn to crawl. Once he's good at crawling, he'll stand up and learn to walk, and then he'll learn to talk! Then he'll be able to call out 'daddy' and 'mommy'. It's so cute just thinking about it."
Shao Yun's gaze fell gently on Xi's chubby little face. Watching his daughter grow from a tiny baby crying for milk in her swaddling clothes into a little girl who can now sit up and even try to "pupa up," he couldn't help but clap his hands, his tone full of a father's satisfaction.
"My precious daughter has grown up so fast. Time really flies! Haha, I'm so proud of her as a father."
"Come here, Xixi, let Daddy see if you've made any progress lately, and if you can crawl now?"
Shen He smiled and nodded, placing Xi back on the soft mat and even adjusting her position for her.
Xi seemed to understand her father's words. She stuck out her little bottom and kicked her legs even harder, trying her best to move towards Shao Yun.
Even with her father Shao Yun cheering her on, Xi still failed to crawl successfully.
The harder she tried to "pupa" forward, the further backward her body moved, and finally, due to her unstable center of gravity, she tilted to the side.
Looking at her daughter's adorable appearance, Shao Yun laughed out loud from the bottom of her heart.
He turned to look at Skirk standing to the side, his tone full of smugness.
"Come here, Skykirk, didn't you specifically want to see my daughter? Look, this is my precious Xixi, isn't she adorable?"
Upon hearing this, Silky also slowly squatted down, moved closer to Xi, and observed the little guy intently.
Her gaze remained calm, but it lacked some of its usual indifference and instead showed more seriousness.
She carefully observed everything from Xi's chubby little face to her tightly clenched little fists and the little legs that occasionally kicked.
Xi became curious about the "frozen melon of the snow mountain" aunt in front of her. She first rolled over in a silly way, then sat up wobbly, put her little fist in her mouth and bit it, her crystal blue eyes staring straight at Silky.
After a while, she suddenly stretched out her chubby little arms and opened them towards Skykik, making "ee-ya" sounds, clearly wanting Skykik to hug her.
Looking at Xi's adorable actions, Skirk's face remained expressionless. She neither reached out to hug her nor dodged. Instead, she suddenly uttered a surprising statement:
Would you mind if I gave her a check-up?
The moment those words were spoken, the warm atmosphere froze instantly.
Shao Yun and Shen He were both stunned, then asked in unison, "What?"
Why did Skirk suddenly mention "examination"? She's not a doctor, what kind of examination would she need?
Seeing the strange looks from the two of them, Skylar asked, puzzled, "Um... what's wrong?"
Shao Yun stood up and looked Silky Kirk up and down:
"I thought you just wanted to see my daughter and get closer to her. When did you become a doctor? Why are you suddenly examining my daughter?"
Skirk was taken aback by the question and didn't know how to explain, so she simply repeated, "Um... I just wanted to get your daughter checked out, that's all."
Shao Yun crossed his arms, his eyes filled with even more vigilance, and pressed, "Did this just happen on a whim? Or do you think there's something wrong with my daughter?"
He was very concerned about his daughter's safety, and Skok's unclear request made him more vigilant.
Shen He, standing to the side, immediately pulled Xi back into his arms, holding her tightly against his chest, his eyes fixed warily on Siker.
Who came from? Just take good care of the child, why the sudden need for a "check"? What if it's harmful to the baby?
She pursed her lips and let out a soft hum: "Mmm..."
It was clearly a statement that she didn't want Skirk to touch the baby.
Seeing Shen He's scrutinizing gaze and Shao Yun's wary attitude, Siker realized that her request might have caused a misunderstanding, and quickly explained:
"I meant no harm. I just wanted to do a simple check-up to confirm a few things. It won't hurt her."
……
Finally, after much persuasion from Sikor, Shao Yun realized that Sikor meant no harm and allowed her to have her precious daughter examined.
Afterwards, Siker asked Shen He to leave for a while, which puzzled Shen He. She usually takes such good care of the baby and is the child's godmother. Why can't she be there when the baby is being examined?
But in the end, Shen He left the room because Si Keke had agreed to let Shao Yun stay inside...
Before leaving, Shen He looked at Shao Yun and then at the baby in his arms. Although he was still unwilling, he eventually gave in.
She carefully handed Xi to Shao Yun, and gave him several more instructions, such as "Make sure you take good care of the baby" and "Call me immediately if anything happens," before reluctantly leaving the room. Before leaving, she didn't forget to glare fiercely at Si Ke Ke.
As soon as the door closed, a barely perceptible dark purple power slowly condensed in the palm of Skykirk's hand.
Shao Yun, head down holding the baby, caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye. His pupils contracted sharply, his face changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm:
"Wait a minute! This aura on your hand... is it the power of the abyss?"
Seeing Shao Yun's shocked, almost murderous expression, Skirk had a sudden lapse in judgment and instinctively replied truthfully, "It's Abyssal power, so what?"
"Fuck you!" Shao Yun raised his hand high, about to deliver twenty slaps to Silky's face.
"I think you've eaten too many red beans and want to die, haven't you! That's my daughter! Are you crazy?!"
Seeing that Shao Yun was truly angry, Silky quickly took a step back and hurriedly explained:
"Wait a minute, calm down, let me explain. I mean no harm! This abyssal power is very weak, and I assure you, it won't have any negative impact on your daughter."
Shao Yun finally understood why Silky had asked Shen He to leave. If Shen He saw her using the power of the abyss to examine her precious daughter...
Shen He immediately activated "Blood Rage," then said "Demons and evil spirits begone!" followed by "I'm going to the hospital early in the morning," which knocked Silky out of the room.
……
In the end, Shao Yun still had Silky Kirk examine her daughter. After all, Silky Kirk had no reason to harm her own child.
After receiving permission, Skirk slowly extended her hand, releasing the abyssal power from her palm.
The force, like a soft tuft of down, slowly drifted toward Xi's wrist, then, like a furry tentacle, gently wrapped around the little guy's chubby wrist.
Xi was attracted by the novel "black fluff". She stopped waving her little hands, blinked her bright blue eyes, and stared curiously at the abyssal power wrapped around her wrist. She even tried to reach out her other little hand to grab it, making cute "ee-ya" sounds, without feeling scared at all.
Silky closed her eyes, concentrated, and carefully sensed the energy fluctuations within Xi's body through the power of the abyss.
A moment later, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with a certainty of "just as I thought," and said softly, "As expected, I was right."
Seeing Siker's mysterious demeanor, Shao Yun's heart immediately tightened, and she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my daughter's health?"
Skork did not answer immediately, but instead withdrew the abyssal power that was wrapped around Xi's wrist.
The black, velvety power dissipated into the air without leaving a trace.
Then, she pointed to the single bed in the corner of the nursery where Shen He usually rested and said in a serious tone, "Please sit down first. I'm afraid you might not be able to accept what I'm about to say."
