"So, does this mean the kid recognize faces?" Ye Liu asked, uncertain.

Ye Ling disagreed with that statement. "I hug him frequently too, why didn't he recognize me?"

He had tried holding Little Huzi just now, but the kid never stopped crying.

"Maybe... Little Huzi thinks I'm his 'mother'!" Liu Duo giggled.

She did not think he would stop crying once she held him in her arms.

Once she said that, Ye Liu had an epiphany.

He snapped his fingers and proudly announced, "I know why!"

Everyone else's gaze instantly fell on him as they quietly waited for his revelation.

Ye Liu wasted no time stalling as he snickered at Liu Duo. He even lightly pressed the soft bulges on his wife's chest.

"That's because we don't have Little Duo's soft breasts! Little Huzi may be weaned, but he still likes to fall asleep with his cheeks against a set of soft breasts!"

Liu Duo blushed furiously at her hooligan of a husband and his ridiculousness!

Similarly, Ye Ling blushed too.

On the other hand, Ye Yang and Ye Mo seemed to acknowledge their brother's wisdom instead. This made Liu Duo feel even more embarrassed.

Next, Ye Mo questioned, "So, what now? Even if our wife managed to get him to sleep now, we'll have to feed him porridge later in the night. And this will happen all over again. It'll be up to us, so how shall we put him to sleep then?"

This had started because the men wanted to learn how to care for a baby. He did not want his wife gaining all the experience!

"It can't be helped. This has become a habit for Little Huzi. It's impossible to change anytime soon," Ye Liu said, out of ideas.

"He'll tire himself to sleep!" came Ye Yang's simple and accurate summary.

He believed that, whatever the habit, as long as one persisted in changing it, they could correct it.

In Little Huzi's case, that meant he would have to shed more than a bit of tears.

After hearing from Ye Yang, the other brothers thought it was the best idea. Little Huzi would eventually drift off to sleep when he got tired of crying.

"Then that's what we'll do. When Little Huzi wakes up later at night and won't go back to sleep, you don't have to come down, dear. We'll take care of it!" Ye Mo furrowed his brows, his face one of determination.

"So, should I get him to sleep first?" Liu Duo looked at the baby who was no longer crying in her arms. She never thought he would be so difficult to handle.

The men thought so too. With Little Huzi sleeping, they could catch some sleep too, so that they would have the energy to put him to sleep if he were to wake up during the night.

But Ye Yang had other ideas. He approached Liu Duo and took over the baby.

"Sleep later, tire him so he sleeps till morning."

The others blinked.

Let him sleep till morning?

That's impractical, isn't it?

Little Huzi needs to eat later at night. We're really not feeding him?

"He's half a year old. It can be done," Ye Yang repeated.

If he had not been weaned, this method probably would not work. But Little Huzi had been weaned, and he was half a year old. As long as he had a full dinner, he should not get hungry later in the night.

Er...

Since Ye Yang had spoken, the others who also had zero experience thought they could give it a try. If it failed, they would try something else!

And that was how Little Huzi's late-night meal got canceled so easily by a bunch of adults.
