Chapter 41: 41: The Unique Milky Fragrance
As evening approached, everyone planned to give the babies a warm bath.
Lin Yi picked up his daughter from the cradle, his gaze fixed tightly on the tiny, fair-skinned child in his arms, his paternal love rising like a tide within him.
He really wanted to give this little one a big kiss!
But he couldn't do that now!
The baby's immunity was at its weakest now, and they carried many germs. Kissing the baby would transfer the germs onto her!
Lin Yi could only bury his head into his daughter's blanket instead.
The scent of milk swept over him in an instant!
That milky scent was indeed very comforting! It even made his head spin a little!
And this scent was somewhat similar to that of his wife!
At that thought, Lin Yi paused for a moment!
Perhaps it was because the baby had been breastfeeding?
These past few days, he had noticed that whenever he got close to his wife Han Xuewei, he could clearly smell that unique milky scent on her.
Both sets of grandparents were there to help bathe the babies now, and the maternity matrons were busy adjusting the water temperature!
He sniffed at the scent of all three babies and still felt that his daughter's fragrance was the richest and most pleasant.
As the saying goes, a daughter is a daddy's warm jacket, and he still loved his daughter.
Not like those two little guys who seemed to have conspired to give him trouble together. Whenever Lin Yi thought of his sons' behavior that day, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
After the hot water was ready, and the clothes for the babies were taken out, everything was prepared, ready to give the three little ones a good wash!
But he never expected that bathing the little babies wouldn't be as easy as he imagined. When he started undressing his youngest son, he encountered a small problem; the baby began to cry loudly halfway through.
Hearing the crying, the eldest son also cooperatively joined in, and soon, their cries formed a duet in the room!
The two brothers seemed to be competing with each other, each cry louder than the last.
Lin Yi's mother quickly picked up the second son and started comforting him, rocking him in her arms and singing a lullaby, "Be good, obedient, don't be afraid when grandma is holding you. There, there."
Han Xuewei's parents also picked up the eldest son and comforted him with much tenderness.
Only Lin Yi's daughter was lying quietly in her father's arms, her little eyes moving around, observing everything with a look of intense curiosity.
Han Xuewei soon took notice of the babies' crying and said with a laugh, "Look at how the two sons are crying all of a sudden! They cry as soon as they're undressed, seems like they have quite the temperament."
Lin Yi smiled and said slowly, "This temper might not come from me, right? But as long as they are my babies, I don't mind any temper they have!"
Han Xuewei leaned in too, gently poking her daughter's chubby little cheeks with her finger, "Little treasure!"
Then, she turned her gaze to her sons, who had finally calmed down, and said with a smile, "Look how well-behaved your sister is, you two should learn from her."
Mr. Lin's mother said to Han Xuemei, "Vivi, you can't touch this water, it's warm water. It's not good for you to come in contact with it too much during your confinement period."
Han Xuemei smiled and replied from the side, "I know, Mom. I'm just taking a picture of the babies. I'll send the photo of the babies bathing to our group chat later, so everyone can see."
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Xuewei excitedly turned on her camera, trying out various angles to take pictures of the babies.
The three adorable little fellows were thus placed in the water, and Lin Yi also started to play nursery rhymes nearby, hoping to make the bath time pleasant for the babies.
The water temperature was just right! At least it was perfect for the babies, who started to slightly close their eyes as soon as they touched the water, clearly filled with sleepiness.
But at that moment, a prompt in Lin Yi's mind interrupted his thoughts.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, you've successfully bathed the babies and provided them with a sense of comfort, earning a reward of two hundred thousand!"
Lin Yi was no longer surprised by this, especially since the reward was entirely within his expectations.
After just a few short minutes, the three adorable babies were out of the water, as bathing infants doesn't require too much time, otherwise it could harm their skin.
One must know that the skin of infants is very delicate.
Han Xuewei was holding her phone, capturing every moment from start to finish - taking photos and recording videos of the babies, not wanting to miss any splendid moment.
As soon as the little babies were taken out of the water, their bodies were quickly dried, but they still made cooing sounds and didn't stop sucking on their fingers, seeming very comfortable.
Not long after putting on clothes, they fell asleep again.
Because they didn't know whether the babies would be boys or girls before birth, they prepared three sets of boy clothes and three sets of girl clothes, so there was no need to worry about not having enough clothes.
Han Xuewei sent the photos to the group, and then went back to her room to rest.
However, she hadn't been asleep for long when all three children started crying simultaneously. The sister's cry was clearly different from her two brothers', sounding like a little kitten, very pleasant to the ear.
Lin Yi was especially fond of his little daughter; once he picked her up, he couldn't bear to put her down again. Watching her big eyes twinkling, he found his heart unable to settle for a long time.
A daughter is truly a delight, not only smelling sweet but even her cries are so melodious. He believed that his daughter would grow up to be even cuter and more affectionate!
Just then, the Maternity Matron brought over two bottles filled with high-quality baby formula specially prepared for the babies.
"Mr. Lin, children can't eat as regularly as adults, they need to eat many times a day, and they must be hungry now, it's about time to feed them."
Lin Yi quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll go call Vivi to prepare."
Since all three children needed to be fed, just relying on breast milk was completely insufficient, so the little ones had to take turns, and the other two had to make do with formula.
However, the formula that Lin Yi picked for the babies was extremely expensive and considered premium; it was even imported, and its nutrition wasn't inferior to breast milk at all.
Filled with joy and excitement, Lin Yi picked up his daughter and headed towards Han Xuewei's room.
As he slowly pushed open the door, he froze on the spot, his eyes glued to the scene inside, swallowing his saliva uncontrollably!
He actually saw Han Xuewei pumping milk!
Lin Yi's eyes nearly popped out!
And Han Xuewei immediately noticed Lin Yi, who entered directly without knocking. Seeing her husband staring blankly at her, she stopped her hands!
Slow to realize, she quickly came to her senses, then she instantly turned halfway around!
Han Xuewei immediately said, "Ah... honey, you... you should remember to knock!"
Her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment.
"I... I'm really sorry! I got a bit too excited..."
