Picking A Name

The fact is that what Yang Han thought was very simple… turned out to be so difficult to do.

 At first, it was just the unpleasant smell that made people a little hesitant. But now, after overcoming the psychological barrier, I realized that what was more painful was the uncooperative cubs!

 Yang Han made a mistake.

 He thought the problem was caused by Yang Han’s clumsiness, but now it seems that everyone will have this problem.

 And Yang Han still has a weakness – his strength is not as strong as Tan Tu.

 Even a newborn male cub is strong enough for Yang Han to drink a pot^[1]A Chinese saying that means “enough”!

 The little lions are committed to getting all the water out of the basin, and their greater ambition is to overturn the basin. Yang Han used all his strength, but he could only hold down one of them firmly. If there were one more, there would be nothing he could do…

 Tan Tu didn’t laugh at Yang Han because of this. After all, having someone to share the job lightened his workload. When Ah Er Sen also joined in, the situation changed even more.

 Of course, three little lions will make a lot of noise, but one of them will not have this problem.

 So, three adults squatted in front of a wooden basin, each taking a clean animal skin to scrub the little lion in their hands. They washed everything from the little head to the little buttocks.

 Su Ce leaned on the bedside and looked at them, the emotion in his eyes was very gentle.

 This is probably… home.

 The little lions were suppressed. Although they could still squirm around, they were still more well-behaved. After finally washing them, they used water from several other basins and washed them again. Finally, they were completely clean.

 Then they were picked up and wiped dry with a cloth. The little lions were brushed and turned into three white and fat little babies again.

 This time when they were wrapped up, it was much more skillful than before.

 Soon, the cubs were wrapped tightly and placed next to Su Ce. Su Ce looked at Tan Tu and the others, smiled and said, “Senior, Ah Er Sen, Tan Tu, thank you for your hard work.”

 Yang Han laughed, “These little guys are also my nephews!”

 Ah Er Sen also said, “Yeah.”

 Tan Tu went over and poked the cubs’ faces one by one, then kissed Su Ce on the forehead and said, “I’m going to wash the dirty animal skins.”

 Ah Er Sen turned around, “I’m going to help.

 Yang Han also wanted to go, but considering that there were only Su Ce and the children here, and Su Ce couldn’t move, he decided to stay here to take care of them, so he didn’t follow.

 He sat next to the babies, looked at his junior, and said, “Ah Ce, have you chosen names for my nephews?”

 Su Ce was stunned. He really hasn’t thought about this much…

 Yang Han knew it as soon as he looked at his expression and said with a smile, “You have to think about it.”

 Su Ce nodded, “Yes.”

 The little ones, who had eaten, washed and played enough, bit their thumbs and fell asleep. Su Ce stretched out his hand to pull out their thumbs, watching them smacking their lips and then falling asleep, feeling soft in his heart.

 Yang Han’s voice also became softer. He sighed and said, “Ah Ce, now I really feel that you are indeed pregnant. How should I put it? It’s quite… shocking.”

 Su Ce smiled, “I couldn’t believe it at first, but because it’s Tan Tu’s, I didn’t care.”

 Yang Han also smiled, “Tan Tu is indeed very kind to you.”

 Su Ce touched the cheeks of his children and said softly, “Actually, when I first came here and learned some common sense, I thought I couldn’t have children. But for males who want to marry females, this was quite a blow. So, when Tan Tu signaled to me, I did not agree to be with him.”

 Yang Han didn’t know what happened, and said in surprise, “Then you agreed to him after you found out that you could have children? Speaking of which, I still don’t know how you could have children…”

 Su Ce paused, avoided the latter question, and answered the first one, “Later, I didn’t know that I could have a baby. However, Tan Tu was very kind to me and very attentive, so I felt that I needed to tell him that I couldn’t get pregnant…but, he said he didn’t mind.”

 Yang Han understood, and said with a smile, “So, you were touched.” It was an affirmative tone.

 Su Ce was a little embarrassed, but still nodded, “I have good feelings about Tan Tu, and he is also good to me, which makes me feel that it is good to be with him.”

Yang Han found it a bit funny. His junior was so serious that he almost became iron-blooded. After coming here, he actually felt shy? It seems that this silly guy Tan Tu has a way…or is he lucky?

 Of course, Su Ce also saw Yang Han’s teasing intention. He lowered his head and continued to touch the children’s faces.

 While the two were chatting, Tan Tu and Ah Er Sen came back from washing the animal skins.

 As soon as Ah Er Sen came in, he saw Yang Han with a relaxed smile and couldn’t help asking, “Ah Han, what’s wrong with you?”

 When Yang Han heard Ah Er Sen’s voice, he looked back and said with a smile, “Ah, we are discussing how to name the children.”

 Su Ce also said to Tan Tu, “Tan Tu, you decide.”

 Tan Tu walked over, and Yang Han smiled and made way for the family to sit together. Then Tan Tu touched Su Ce’s forehead and found that it was not hot, so he said, “Ah Ce can decide. “

 Su Ce thought for a while and said three names, “Si Gai, Fu Lai, and Lan De^[2]what’s with these names seriously.” Su Ce’s understanding of the local language was not enough to be able to come up with a good meaning, so he simply followed the English words of sky, flame and earth which has a corresponding syllable in the orc language, but the meaning may be a bit inconsistent.

 Tan Tu had no objection to Su Ce’s statement and said directly, “Okay, let’s call then this.”

 Yang Han understood that Ah Er Sen didn’t care too much about other people’s family affairs, so the names of the three little lions were decided.

 The eldest is Sky, the second is Flame, and the third is Earth.

 But…these three little guys look exactly the same, how can they tell them apart?

 When Yang Han raised this question, everyone was silent.

 No one dared to recognize the three identical little faces as babies… Moreover, even if they turned into little lion forms, these little guys were purebred golden lion cubs without a trace of hair on their bodies. You can’t even tell the difference.

 In the end, it was Su Ce who came to the conclusion, “Let’s ask Ka Mai after I can get out of bed. He delivered the babies. He should know who crawled out of my belly first.”

 No one objected.

  …That’s all.

 Because Tan Tu had taken good care of Su Ce during the pregnancy, and Ka Mai was a witch doctor with good medical skills, the birth was very smooth, and of course there was no fundamental damage. In addition, Tan Tu still did not relax in taking care of him… After three days, Su Ce could get out of bed with the help of others. After five days, he could occasionally stand up and pick up the baby to coax him. After ten days, he pain is almost gone and my body is gradually returning to its original state.

 When the cubs become babies, they are relatively quiet except when they are hungry. However, once they become lion cubs, they crawl and move around in all kinds of ways, unlike newborns.

 Maybe the cubs of the orcs are born stronger than the people on earth. It’s better that the little claws don’t hit anything. Once they hit it, they can overturn it with one claw, which is quite powerful.

 For the three adults who often take care of them, the little lions usually don’t listen, but once Su Ce takes action, they immediately become obedient, making Yang Han often shout out unfairly and unwillingly. The answer was that the little lions twisted their bodies and pointed their butts at him.

 It made several adults laugh.

In these ten days, Yang Han has basically transformed into a super godfather, focusing on taking care of his few nephews. It can be said that from clumsy to skilled, from psychological barriers to commonplace, his professional skills have improved rapidly. Ah Er Sen and Tan Tu also gradually perfected their ability to wash animal skins…that is, poop diapers. Basically every day, animal skins are fluttering on the tall wooden shelves in the yard. From a distance, they can be seen in a variety of colors. It’s really pleasing to the eye.

 Su Ce was a little puzzled by Ah Er Sen’s behavior of always accompanying Tan Tu to clean those smelly pieces of cloth, but then thinking about it, was he…accumulating experience?

 The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this idea was correct, but it made Su Ce feel a little horrified.

 This was probably similar to how Yang Han felt when he saw Su Ce’s pregnant belly… Su Ce imagined the image of Yang Han being pregnant in his mind and blinked.

 How to describe this feeling…

 Su Ce has always known that Ah Er Sen likes his senior, and his obvious pursuit of the senior, except for the senior, probably no one can fail to see it!

 And even senior will occasionally feel shy or embarrassed subconsciously… Well, he was also surprised at first when he found out that his senior had gone from being accustomed to Ah Er Sen doing things for him to being unconsciously shy.

 All these signs indicate that senior will be captured by Ah Er Sen sooner or later…

 ​In other words, senior will give birth to Ah Er Sen’s child sooner or later??!

 Su Ce felt even more horrified.

 Senior, he has no idea that he is also a female who can give birth to children…
