Chapter 155

Extra: Little Hatchling Transformation! Part 2

Shan Ming was so infuriated that he felt like he was about to spit blood. Reluctantly, he took Shen Changze from Ayer’s hands. The light and delicate weight in his arms made everything feel so surreal. He hadn’t waited for three days just to receive a little baby!

Ayer quickly ran away, and Shen Changze held onto Shan Ming’s clothes with his tiny claws, looking up at Shan Ming with a helpless expression on his little face.

Shan Ming kicked the door closed and turned around, heading back to the living room. He threw Shen Changze onto the sofa and sat down next to him, glaring at him with a frustrated expression.

Shen Changze held his tail protectively against his chest and spoke in a small voice, “Dad, I didn’t expect it to turn out like this either.” After finishing his words, he let out a yawn. “Mm, I’m so sleepy.”

Shan Ming cursed, “You stupid idiot! You just did whatever experiments they make you? What if you remain like this for the rest of your life?”

“If this experiment succeeds, the Dragon Blood Kin’s abilities will greatly enhance. Um, I probably won’t remain like this forever…” The mini dragon timidly retreated into the corner of the sofa, its soft wings drooping in a somewhat dejected manner.

Seeing Shen Changze’s disheartened appearance, Shan Ming realized how frustrated he must be. That’s probably why he hesitated to come back and see him for so many days. He sighed and lifted Shen Changze into his arms, asking, “How many days has it been?”

Shen Changze tried to grab the chopsticks but struggled to do so. It was unclear whether his hands were too small or his claws were inconvenient, but he couldn’t manage to pick anything up.

Shan Ming put the chopsticks aside and said, “You’re really struggling. Just use your hands.”

Shen Changze held the rib with his little claws and took a bite. Shan Ming didn’t find anything wrong with giving a two-year-old child ribs to eat. After all, Shen Changze’s teeth were much sharper than those of humans. However, to his surprise, Shen Changze put the rib down after a few bites.

Shan Ming was also eating his own meal, he looked up at Shen Changze and asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you say you haven’t eaten?”

Shen Changze looked at him with a pained expression. “Dad, I can’t chew it.”

Shan Ming’s expression froze as he looked at Shen Changze for a while. Then he extended his hand and gently pried open Shen Changze’s mouth. Shen Changze had mostly grown his front teeth, but his back teeth, which were used for chewing, had barely emerged. It was clear that he was struggling to bite into the bone. So it turned out that even Dragon Blood Kins didn’t have a mouth full of sharp teeth from birth.

Shan Ming was so annoyed that he wanted to flip the table. He had no choice but to use his chopsticks to pick up a piece of scrambled egg and feed it to Shen Changze. Shen Changze puffed up his cheeks, slowly chewed, and swallowed the food. Throughout the meal, Shan Ming essentially had to feed Shen Changze bit by bit. It was the first time he truly understood the feeling of taking care of a child. He had thought that five-year-old Shen Changze was already delicate and challenging enough to care for, but he now realized that a two-year-old baby required a hundred times more attention and care.

After finishing their meal, both of them felt tired.

Shen Changze still appeared dejected, his head hanging low. Usually, he was the one taking care of Shan Ming, but now he couldn’t even hold the chopsticks properly. This significant psychological gap made it difficult for him to adapt.

Shan Ming gently rubbed Shen Changze’s soft hair. “It’s okay. Let’s just consider it as me taking care of a child for a few days. Stop frowning like that.”

Shen Changze held onto Shan Ming’s clothes, his big round eyes filled with sadness. “Dad, please don’t dislike me.”

“I don’t dislike you, just don’t pee on my bed,” he replied, lifting the little hatchling with one hand. “Are you sleepy? You’ve been yawning a lot?”

“Mn, ever since I’ve turned into this form, I feel sleepy all the time, and would always want to sleep.”

Shan Ming knew that children loved to sleep, he carried Shen Changze into the bedroom and placed him on the carefully chosen large bed, measuring 2.5 meters. However, when he saw Shen Changze, who could now fit on just one pillow, his heart felt even more frustrated, “Then go to sleep.”

“Dad, I want to take a bath,” Shen Changze tugged at Shan Ming’s sleeve and shook it.

Shan Ming sighed and carried Shen Changze into the bathroom.

Shan Ming turned on the warm water and sat in the spacious massage tub, holding Shen Changze in his arms. The little hatchling’s feet couldn’t reach the bottom, he could only stand on Shan Ming’s leg. Shan Ming gently touched the scales on Shen Changze’s body, which felt soft and smooth. He realized that the undeveloped dragon scales had a similar texture to fish scales. Shen Changze flapped his small wings in the water, creating ripples, and his tail also wrapped around Shan Ming’s arm with a soft snap.

Shan Ming shook his arm and said, “What are you clinging to me for?”

“I’m afraid of slipping into the water.” At this moment, even the water in the tub could completely submerge him.

Shan Ming snapped off his tail and said, “Stop clinging to my arm, I have to wash you.”

Shan Ming placed him on the stand in the bathtub meant for holding bathing products. Then, he squeezed some shower gel and spread it onto his slippery body. Shan Ming’s palms created bubbles all over him. The hatchling stood with his arms raised, allowing Shan Ming to bathe him.

When Shan Ming was washing the lower part, he touched the little hatchling’s soft, small birdie and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Shen Changze, feeling embarrassed, smeared some bubbles on Shan Ming’s face and exclaimed in a sharp voice, “Stop laughing!”

After finishing bathing him, Shan Ming carried him into the water to rinse him off. However, Shen Changze slipped and fell into the water all of a sudden. When Shan Ming pulled him out, he was flailing his limbs, wings, and tail in a chaotic manner, which amused Shan Ming to no end. Shan Ming playfully loosened his grip, and Shen Changze fell in again. Shan Ming lifted him out once more, and the little hatchling was drenched like he had been caught in a heavy rainstorm. He squirmed desperately in Shan Ming’s arms, trying to shake off the water from his body. Shan Ming burst into laughter, he had regained some of the joy he had felt when bullying Shen Changze in the past.

Shen Changze looked at him with a hidden grudge, his watery eyes filled with anger and helplessness.

Shan Ming was in a great mood, he played with the little hatchling’s arms and legs, and twirled his tail around with his fingers. In the end, they spent over an hour bathing.

After only a short while, Shen Changze had already grown tired. His little head rested softly on Shan Ming’s shoulder as he hugged Shan Ming’s neck, his eyelids drooping heavily from sleepiness.

Shan Ming wrapped him in a towel and carried him into the bedroom. He gently dried his body, carefully blow-dried his head, and then tucked him under the blanket. Shan Ming patted his little chest and said, “Go ahead and sleep.”

Shen Changze looked at Shan Ming with his squinted eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them. “You didn’t blow dry your hair again. Go blow dry it.”

“I’m not going to sleep anyway, it’ll dry by itself in a bit.”

“You still need to blow dry it, the air conditioning is on so low.”

Unable to tolerate his nagging, Shan Ming reluctantly took out the hairdryer and proceeded to dry his own hair as well.

After finishing drying his hair, Shan Ming planned to change into some clothes and head to the living room to watch TV. However, Shen Changze’s little tail suddenly curled around his wrist. “Dad…” he called out.

“What?”

“Sleep with me.”

“It’s only nine o’clock right now.”

The little hatchling wriggled his body and pouted, “Sleep with me please.”

After giving it some thought, Shan Ming shifted him over a little, then lay down beside him.

The little hatchling climbed onto him, just like in the past, he nestled in his arms and closed his eyes in contentment.

Shan Ming gently patted his back, reminiscing about fifteen years ago when a shivering and crying little boy crawled into his arms. It was as if time had suddenly looped back, bringing them back to the past.

The little hatchling in his arms rubbed his rounded horn against Shan Ming’s chin and softly said, “Dad, it’s great that you came back on time.”

Shan Ming wrapped his arm around him, and a smile rose at the corners of his mouth.
