The development of the matter was a bit sudden, not only did Chu Lan not react, even Xia Xi didn't have time to notice. When the two came to realize, the baby had stopped crying and was sucking milk in his mother's arms.

Xia Xi had been breastfeeding for many days, but this was the first time he feed his son. This feeling inevitably felt novel and subtle, and he finally had a sense of truly being a "mother". After Chu Lan reacted he immediately wanted to tear off the baby, Xia Xi avoided his movements and said with a flushed face: "He's already eating, so let him eat."

Chu Lan grumbled reluctantly, "This little bastard!" However, no matter how reluctant he was, the current offender was still his son. Seeing the milk that originally belonged to him being sucked and swallowed, and the pair of breasts he originally never had to share being held tightly by the baby, even if he understood that it was the child's instinct, it still made him particularly uncomfortable.

Gently fending off Chu Lan's fingers trying to pinch his son's cheek, Xia Xi said softly: "My King, don't bother him, look at how comfortably he eats. His face is so ruddy and he's using a lot of strength." It was the first time for him to feed his son, and it was the first time for him to watch him eat at such a close distance. He couldn't help but feel more satisfied as he watched, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Chu Lan's jealous face was full of sourness and he said fiercely, "Of course it takes great effort to grab my, his father's, food."

Xia Xi saw that he was still upset and quickly changed the subject. He happened to have something to talk about so he asked, "Did you take Chun'er out today?"

Chu Lan was still staring at his "ration" being stolen and nodded casually, "I took him out."

Xia Xi asked tentatively: "To go fight a wild wolf?"

Chu Lan said: "Yeah."

Xia Xi couldn't help frowning and said helplessly: "Chun'er's only eight years old and his body's weak, how could you take him along on such dangerous activities? In case of injury or some accident, what would you do?"

Hearing that his tone was a bit serious Chu Lan finally retracted his gaze, he focused on his face and replied: "When I was eight years old, I also went to kill wild wolves, I killed two of them alone without anyone else guarding me. Guards were guarding him today, compared with me back then, this can't be called hunting at all. It wasn't even very difficult, did he complain to you when he came back?"

Xia Xi was shocked by what he said and only reacted after a while, he shook his head quickly, "He didn't tell me anything. If I hadn't seen the blood on the back of his neck, he wouldn't even tell me about it."

Chu Lan snorted and said, "It's good that he didn't complain, otherwise he won't be allowed into my guard."

Xia Xi was even more shocked when he heard what he said, "Into your guard?" He even forgot honorifics, Chu Lan didn't care and said: "He wants to enter and today was a trial for him. Although it's hardly difficult, it's barely enough. From tomorrow on, he will be a reserve in my guard." He seemed to dislike talking about those things. He stretched out his finger and poked the baby in Xia Xi's arms, "Is he full? When will he finish eating?"

Xia Xi refused to bypass the topic and questioned: "Why did he enter your guard?"

The corners of Chu Lan's mouth twitched and he said, "What's wrong with entering my guard? Even if it's as a reserve, if he can stay long enough he can enter the barracks at the age of fifteen and directly become a commander of thousands. If everything goes well, he can also be a captain or a general."
