Chapter 69: Full Moon Celebration

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!” Tanaka laughed, collapsing onto the console, clutching his stomach, and asked, “And then? Did you agree?”

“Just a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny bit more… I almost agreed!” Jiang Miao still shuddered when she recalled it.

Despicable! Shameless! Base! To achieve his goal, he even resorted to selling his looks1Yan He!

“Oh, I underestimated you.” Tanaka patted his stomach, catching his breath. “I thought you definitely wouldn’t hold out.”

Jiang Miao sighed, “Because Ruirui pooped.”

Tanaka: “?”

Jiang Miao rubbed her temples, “This kid has a temper. As soon as he poops, he immediately cries loudly, demanding that an adult come to clean his bottom, not a second later.”

That ear-splitting cry woke Jiang Miao up and pulled her out of the whirlpool of male allure.

This idea immediately received enthusiastic support from the female colleagues present.

Even male colleagues greatly appreciated it, suggesting that there should also be anti-gravity underwear for men to lighten their load. They began taking turns expressing the heaviness of their burdens, almost to the point of unbearable life.

If it weren’t for their pants fitting perfectly normal, just by listening to their descriptions, one would think they all had elephant trunks for pen!ses.

Later, Jiang Miao managed to create this anti-gravity bra in the lab. Female colleagues who tried it on praised it as “feeling as light as air.”

Unfortunately, after Jiang Miao submitted her report, it was rejected. The assessment department deemed the cost of the product too high, and marketability too difficult.

So the only finished product was the sample produced in the lab. Female colleagues competed based on their bust size, and the female coworker with the largest bust ended up with it.

As for the anti-gravity underwear for male coworkers, it never went beyond discussion. After all, female colleagues were clear-minded; there wasn’t anyone among the male coworkers in the company who truly reached the “unbearable burden of life.”

“I can’t understand the traditionalists,” Tanaka said. “Doing everything themselves, isn’t it tiring?”

“Also, it’s not entirely all hands-on during the day; we still use a lot of auxiliary help. But at night, when we have direct contact with the baby’s body, we do everything ourselves,” Jiang Miao explained.

Initially, it was her proposal, and she was worried that Yan He might not agree. After all, it would double the workload for the caregiver.

She even considered that if Yan He disagreed, she would take over Jiang Rui at night, allowing Yan He to sleep well.

Who would have thought that after she proposed it, the look of gratitude in Yan He’s eyes clearly conveyed meanings like, “Ah, I really didn’t choose the wrong person,” or “You are the destined mother of my child.”

It made Jiang Miao wonder if she had a halo around her face.

But then again, living with someone whose values align with hers is truly pleasant and enjoyable.

If it were Tanaka, Jiang Miao estimated that he would definitely leave feeding and diaper changing to robots at night. That would require some adjustment.

“Hey, what’s wrong with letting robots help with feeding and changing diapers?” Tanaka was very unhappy with Jiang Miao’s accusation. “Isn’t that how everyone does it? Besides, before Yan came to you, didn’t you rely on robots for everything, eating synthetic food every day?”

That was true. After Jiang Miao, a homebody, was reborn here, she truly felt like she had come to heaven. No one would nag her about not being like a proper young lady anymore.

First of all, there were no rigid stereotypes about what women or men should be like here. Of course, there were still some, but compared to the ancient Earth era six thousand years ago, gender stereotypes had been greatly weakened.

And most importantly, all household chores were taken care of by robots. At that time, Zhang Ya only taught her etiquette and appearance; she never trained her to make the bed or sweep the floor.

“I can handle it myself. Because I’m the one using the robots, I’m in control of them,” Jiang Miao said. “But the baby can’t. The robot controls him, and if he’s uncomfortable but hasn’t reached the point of crying yet, he can’t express his dissatisfaction.”

“Not crying doesn’t mean everything’s fine,” Tanaka insisted.

“How could it be fine? I have memories from when I was little, with robots grabbing my ankles, which was very uncomfortable. I still remember how the robot shoved the pacifier into my mouth, hitting my palate, but I couldn’t cry because I had the pacifier in my mouth,” Jiang Miao said excitedly, recalling her childhood experiences.

“How is that possible?” Tanaka exclaimed. “How could you remember things from such a young age?”

Jiang Miao paused, then explained, “My long-term memory formed very early, and there are some very early images in my mind. Of course, they are just fragmented memories.”

Tanaka bought into this explanation very readily, even expressing admiration. “Impressive!”

This was all because in this era, genes were continuously optimized, and every now and then, children were born with extremely high innate intelligence. Such children often had exceptionally strong memory that formed at a very early age.

Although Jiang Miao’s genes in this life were excellent, compared to top-tier genius children, she was still slightly lacking. If she were to be ranked, she would actually be considered a second-tier high IQ individual.

But she was a time traveler, carrying memories from her past life, with a mature soul from birth. This “time-traveler cheat” made up for the 0.5 difference.

Rounding up, Jiang Miao became a top-tier genius. Despite her young age, she was already successful in her career.

It was then that the melodious voice of Yan He’s office AI, Xiaodu, spoke up: “Dr. Jiang, you have a message from home. Please respond promptly.”

Of course, the speaker wasn’t Yan He but an office AI programmed with his voice.

When Yan He had been in charge of Jiang Miao’s security at Ellison for a month, their colleagues heard his real voice and had a sudden realization, followed by suppressed laughter.

Yan He often looked at Jiang Miao through the glass with a smirk, making her cheeks heat up even when she escaped into virtual reality with her goggles on.

The mention of a “prompt callback” indicated an urgent matter.

Jiang Miao hurriedly passed through three isolation doors, her entire body, even her muscles and intestines, clearly visible through the scanners. She carried no personal items as she left the laboratory.

Back in her office, Jiang Miao called home.

Yan He answered immediately. Before Jiang Miao could even ask, “What’s going on?” Yan He’s face was already glowing as he quickly told her, “Ruirui started sucking his hand!”

Advertisements

“What!” Jiang Miao was both surprised and delighted, yet also incredulous. “How is that possible? Isn’t it said that babies usually start sucking their hands around sixty to ninety days? Ruirui isn’t even a month old yet…”

“It’s true!” Yan He’s handsome face lit up with excitement. “I’ve been eating my hand in front of him every day for the past few days! Today, he finally started imitating me! Although he only did it once, he really did it!”

Jiang Miao: “…”

Wait a minute, what do you mean by eating your hand in front of him every day?

Jiang Miao was speechless.

What have you been doing to chubby when I’m not around?

“Focusing on the important points!” Yan He waved his hand impatiently.

People who don’t personally take care of children just can’t grasp the key points!

He continued, “Although I considered the gravitational factor, many things are much easier for Ruirui compared to other babies. Apart from muscle strength, his learning and imitation abilities, as well as his body coordination, far exceed those of children his age.”

“Miaomiao, it’s clear that Ruirui’s genes are far superior to those of other children,” Yan He’s handsome face showed a joyful smile. “Miaomiao, our genes really complement each other!”

“Of course, otherwise how could we have matched from the beginning!” Jiang Miao couldn’t help but laugh at Yan He’s joyful expression.

She laughed happily, not noticing that her words caused Yan He’s smile to falter for a moment. But he quickly concealed it as if nothing had happened.

“Alright, you go back to work,” he smiled, “I’ll continue teaching the baby to suck his hand. See you when you get back, bye~”

He even winked at her.

Honestly, always flirting without warning. Tsk, who knows how many people he’s practiced this “habit” on.

Clearly, he’s a flirtatious man, but when they first met, he pretended to be serious and aloof.

Making her see him as some kind of unattainable flower, so nervous every day.

If he had shown this flirtatious side from the beginning…

Jiang Miao unwillingly pursed her lips. She had to admit, if Yan He had shown this side from the beginning, she probably would have fallen for him just the same.

Although the cool and reserved type of man also made her heart race, they were more suitable for distant admiration and secret thoughts at night.

The one who truly made her happy every day was the current Yan He.

It was this man who often started teasing her early in the morning, understood all her sensitive spots, and could delicately understand her thoughts and desires, willing to give and offer, that was Yan He.

He was a bad guy, but a charming bad guy.

Jiang Rui’s full moon party was held on the weekend.

She and Yan He invited their closest friends and colleagues, like Tanaka.

Surprisingly, there were also a few neighbors from Ness Garden.

“This is Liu Chenguang, his baby is four months old.”

“This is Louise, her baby is seven months old.”

“This is Hatana Marikuku, his baby is only a little over half a month older than Ruirui.”

Yan He introduced them one by one to Jiang Miao, saying, “We often take walks together with the babies.”

Jiang Miao understands these kinds of relationships, like the baby-walking groups.

It’s like ancient times, where there were different groups – one for dog-walkers, one for cat-owners, one for baby-walkers, one for square dancers, one for tai chi practitioners, and another for those who do hand-flinging exercises.

And these people have all brought their children along. The older kids are already eager to express themselves with their “goo-goo gah-gah” sounds.

Mr. Yan has already opened up the social scene for the little chubby ones at home.

The sight of the several babies together is truly delightful.

Jiang Miao thanked them for gracing the party with their presence and for the gifts they brought, instructing Yan He to take good care of them — it’s just proper etiquette.

Even though today is the full moon party, Jiang Miao and Yan He haven’t handed over completely yet; Yan He is still the primary caretaker for Jiang Rui.

Yan He holds the baby and nods with a smile. “You go greet everyone.”

It feels like a “husband inside, wife outside” situation, and nobody feels there’s anything wrong with it.

Jiang Miao senses the air is filled with happiness.

As a research-oriented homebody, she’s fully engaged in socializing today, striving to entertain everyone well.

But in reality, everyone present at the party is more adept at this than her and knows better how to make themselves comfortable.

Tanaka had already told her that all parties are just excuses for socializing.

This party, themed around a baby’s full moon, had made the dress code clear when inviting guests, so everyone is dressed very casually and comfortably. At the host’s request, nobody wore anything sharp to avoid hurting the little babies.

There’s no smoking or alcohol at this party; the beverages provided are all fresh fruit juices without alcohol. According to the classification of people here, it’s a typical fresh and healthy party.

But even with this kind of party, it doesn’t stop human hormones from attracting each other.

Jiang Miao quickly realized that as the hostess, she wasn’t of much use because everyone was having a good time on their own.

The brainpower-oriented group led by Jiang Miao, and the physical fitness-oriented group invited by Yan He, were especially enthusiastic about each other.

Tanaka, that half-straight, half-crooked guy, surprisingly had his sights set on that very sturdy female colonel. Thinking back, Jiang Miao hadn’t seen Tanaka pursue women for a long time. Recently, the people she could count who were pursued by him seemed to be all male.

Well, let’s wish him success then.

Jiang Miao secretly gave Tanaka a “good luck” gesture. Tanaka returned a triumphant look saying, “It’s about to happen.”

Jiang Miao finished her fruit juice and put down her glass to go to the bathroom.

There were a total of four bathrooms in Jiang Miao’s house. She and Yan He each had a private bathroom in their bedroom. The multifunctional room and gym were adjacent, and there was a shared bathroom not far from the door. There was also a bathroom in the living room.

So, when she was living alone at home, no matter which room she was in, she could go to the nearest bathroom, which was very convenient.

But today, as the host of the party in her own home, she wouldn’t compete with the guests for the common bathroom; she would go back to the master bedroom to use her own bathroom.

As she passed by the two public bathrooms, she saw that the screens outside the doors indicated they were both in use.

When she reached Yan He’s bedroom door, she saw that it was open.

On days like today when they hosted a party, both bedroom doors were restricted, and guests couldn’t enter this area. It’s not like in ancient times when unruly kids could wander into your room and dismember your precious action figures; that kind of thing couldn’t happen with the power of technology.

The door to this room was open, meaning Yan He was inside.

Jiang Miao peeked in but didn’t see Yan He, but the door to the en suite bathroom inside was also open, and there were faint sounds of someone inside.

Jiang Miao had been busy greeting guests and hadn’t seen Yan He and Jiang Rui for a while, so she was curious.

She walked toward the bathroom.

She thought Yan He had taken Jiang Rui there to clean his little bottom, but she didn’t expect to hear a woman’s laughter inside.

“That Jiang is still just an immature little girl. Can she really satisfy a strong man like you?” the woman’s voice said.

Jiang Miao: “…”
