Chapter 4

Zhu Jia is very obedient and well-behaved, never mentioning any material needs to her foster parents. She wore each piece of clothing for many years, only buying new clothes when the old ones were too short.

As Zhu Jia grew older, she would also help out in the small store run by her foster parents.

When she entered middle school, Zhu Jia lived at the school, spending her days between the classroom, dormitory, and cafeteria.

Her academic performance was always excellent, and she eventually got into a top university in a big city with outstanding results.

After entering university, she never asked her foster parents for any money again, relying on scholarships and part-time jobs to live comfortably.

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Jia was in university, her foster mother got pregnant at an advanced age and gave birth to a younger brother.

Unfortunately, before Zhu Jia could meet her brother much, she had an accident and crossed over to this new world.

She wondered how her foster parents were doing now and if they were sad about her sudden disappearance.

Shaking her head, Zhu Jia thought it was more important to focus on taking care of the little one for now. With enough money for living expenses, she immediately made a long shopping list for Xiao Wen.

Xiao Wen’s things were far too few to use, so she searched on her phone for the biggest baby supply store near her, which was located in the city center in a shopping mall that had an entire floor dedicated to baby products, covering everything a baby might need.

That’s the place! Zhu Jia planned to visit in the next couple of days.

While browsing the various baby products, Zhu Jia suddenly heard a loud “pffft…” sound.,Zhu Jia: …

“Host, Xiao Wen may have pooped,” the system said helplessly. “Don’t worry, just follow my instructions.”

A video titled “Cleaning Baby’s Bottom” appeared on the system’s interface. Zhu Jia watched it several times before carefully picking up Xiao Wen and heading to the bathroom.

The bathroom was spacious, with a luxurious European chandelier, a large round bathtub, and several shelves full of colorful bottles and jars.

There was a separate shower area, and in front of a large mirror, there were two sinks.

Zhu Jia decided to use one of the sinks to clean Xiao Wen’s bottom. She grabbed a pack of disposable cotton wipes, which were thick and could be used both wet and dry, not worrying about them sticking to the baby’s skin.

As she walked to the sink, she glanced in the mirror and froze. This was the first time she had looked at herself after crossing over.

The original owner looked exactly like her! A heart-shaped face, fair skin, slightly upturned almond eyes, a delicate nose, full lips, and even a small mole on the tip of the nose—everything was identical!

However, the original owner’s makeup was excessively dramatic, which made Zhu Jia speechless.

Even though she was staying at home, she wore heavy, long fake eyelashes, thick black eyeliner, and glittery purple eyeshadow… Zhu Jia decided she would remove her makeup later.

She snapped back to reality, turned on the faucet, adjusted the temperature, and waited for hot water. After ten seconds, the water became warm and comfortable.

Following the system’s video, Zhu Jia held Xiao Wen in her left arm while using her right hand to undo his pants and fold them up to his waist.

She carefully opened the tape on the diaper and gently pulled it off.Zhu Jia used a cotton wipe to clean Xiao Wen’s bottom, but unfortunately, her fingers accidentally brushed some sticky, yellow mess…

She nearly cried in frustration but quickly rinsed her fingers clean.

The faucet was connected to a soft hose, which could be extended several feet. Zhu Jia pulled the hose over Xiao Wen’s bottom and used warm water to wash the mess away thoroughly for about five minutes before finally rinsing clean.

After turning off the water, Zhu Jia pressed Xiao Wen’s bottom with a few more wipes until it was dry. “Phew…” She sighed with relief.System:

“Host, I have to say, you’re really talented! Many other hosts panic and cry the first time they have to clean a baby’s poop. You stayed so calm, even when your fingers got dirty—I’m impressed!”

Zhu Jia: … Is this a compliment?

System: “The last step is to put a new diaper on the baby. Follow the video instructions slowly.”

Zhu Jia carried Xiao Wen to her bed and grabbed a fresh diaper. She repeated watching the system’s video several times before gently lifting Xiao Wen’s little legs with her left hand and positioning the diaper underneath his bottom with her right hand.

System: “Host, just a reminder: your leg-lifting action was a bit too high. This could hurt the baby.”

“Got it, I’ll be more careful next time.” Zhu Jia adjusted the diaper and secured the tapes at the front.

After checking, she realized the diaper was a little loose, so she adjusted the tapes once more.

“Ping! 500 points have been added.”The system’s notification sounded as Zhu Jia continued to adjust Xiao Wen’s diaper. She bent over for a while, and her back started to ache. Afterward, she carefully washed her hands in the bathroom and then returned to place Xiao Wen back into the crib.

With the fresh diaper on, Xiao Wen seemed very comfortable, and he lay down on the crib, starting to feel sleepy. Zhu Jia followed the methods she had seen in TV shows, rhythmically patting Xiao Wen’s back. Xiao Wen seemed to enjoy it and soon fell asleep.

After spending a few hours with Xiao Wen, Zhu Jia could tell he was a very stable baby. Was this what they called an angel baby? As long as he wasn’t hungry, he hardly ever cried, and he loved to sleep—so peacefully and sweetly.

Looking at Xiao Wen’s chubby, pink face, Zhu Jia almost forgot about the unpleasantness of earlier.Taking advantage of Xiao Wen’s nap, Zhu Jia quickly flipped through various practical videos in the system.

She first focused on learning “How to Bathe a Baby.”System: “Host, you’re in luck today. Xiao Wen already had a bath before lunch, so you can wait until tomorrow to bathe him. For now, just practice the technique.”

Zhu Jia let out a sigh of relief when she realized that Xiao Wen didn’t even seem to have a proper bathing tub.

It seemed like there was no time to waste—she would have to go shopping tomorrow morning.Zhu Jia tidied up the luggage Xiao Wen had brought and found a small dark bottle that she hadn’t noticed before.

“System, what’s this?”

System: “This is Vitamin D3. After the baby is born, starting from the 14th day, you need to give one drop daily. D3 helps with calcium absorption. If the baby doesn’t get enough, they might show signs of calcium deficiency.”

Zhu Jia played with the small bottle and asked, “How much should I give daily?”

System: “This brand of D3 requires just one drop daily. You can drop it directly into the baby’s mouth or mix it with formula milk.”

Zhu Jia nodded and put the bottle away.
