Chapter 520, Taking Care of Kids is Not Easy
Sang Mansion.
In the garden, Si Jingzhu was idly sitting next to a flower bed with a simple cradle beside her.
In the cradle, Little Ying You stared wide-eyed with her watery eyes, looking longingly at Si Jingzhu, her tiny hands reaching out into the air.
“Ah… Little Ying You.”
Si Jingzhu propped her head in her hands, pouting as she muttered, “Do you think your parents don’t want you anymore?”
“One’s off on a business trip, the other’s gallivanting somewhere, and nobody cares about this little freshly born babe. They’ve got me stuck at home babysitting you.”
“I’ve never had a kid; how am I supposed to know how to take care of one?”
Of course, Little Ying You didn’t understand a word of what Si Jingzhu was saying. She just opened her eyes as wide as she could and babbled, trying to grab Si Jingzhu’s hand.
“When are your parents coming back… I’m dying of boredom here.”
Seeing Little Ying You flapping her little hands non-stop, Si Jingzhu decided to extend her finger, letting the baby grasp it.
Little Ying You loved grabbing fingers. Her tiny hand fit perfectly around a single finger, making her look adorably helpless.
Even with Si Jingzhu’s carefree attitude, seeing Little Ying You’s adorable face was enough to melt away all her irritation.
“Just too cute.”
She poked Little Ying You’s chubby cheek and sighed dreamily, “If only I could have a cute little baby like you.”
Wait, can elixirs produce offspring?
If they do, are they medicine or people?
I hope my freaky body doesn’t get passed on to the next generation!
While Si Jingzhu was lost in these thoughts, Little Ying You had both her tiny hands grasping Si Jingzhu’s finger and flashed a sweet smile.
“Jie… jie…”
“Hey~ Little Ying You is so good… wait.” Si Jingzhu was just about to affectionately pat her head when she suddenly realized something was off.
“Hold on! I’m not your sister! You should call me Mom. Come on, say it together, Si Mama~”
“Si… Ma…”
Si Jingzhu: “… Kiddo, some things can’t just be half-said.”
Little Ying You was barely half a month old.
But because of the strange phenomenon during her birth, she didn’t look like a newborn at all; she had already grown to the size of a four- or five-month-old baby.
And she didn’t cry or fuss, very well-behaved, winning over everyone in the Sang household.
For the past couple of days, Si Jingzhu had occasionally tried teaching her some simple phrases, and Little Ying You was smart enough to babble right back.
Of course, her language skills were still at a primitive stage.
“By the way, have you eaten anything today?”
Si Jingzhu muttered to herself, “How strange. This kid doesn’t cry or fuss at all. I read online that newborns are super noisy, crying all the time, and you have to guess if they’re hungry, tired, thirsty, or just plain bored.”
“But you’re not making a peep, not even when you’re hungry.”
Little Ying You blinked her big eyes at her.
What Si Jingzhu didn’t know was that in Little Ying You’s eyes, the delicate girl beside the cradle had strange words floating next to her head.
[Si Jingzhu, female, mid-stage Transformation, height 155cm, weight 40kg]
[Bra size: A, interests: voyeurism, masochism, little girl attribute, edible body…]
Little Ying You obviously couldn’t understand those bizarre characters.
But it seemed she didn’t need to understand.
Some things seemed to convert directly into a form she could comprehend, gradually sinking into her mind, making her a bit hazy.
Not knowing if it was due to all her energy being used up, she felt a bit hungry.
Then, she recalled the line “edible body.”
“If you’re hungry, you have to say so. Your Si Mama has to go figure out food for you… By the way, is Little Ying’s milk stored in the ice cellar?”
Si Jingzhu was still talking to herself.
The next moment, she suddenly felt her clothes yanked hard.
The force was so strong that before she could react, her dress nearly tore apart at the neckline.
“Whoa!”
Si Jingzhu hastily covered her chest to prevent any accidental exposure, her face turning red as she asked, “W-What are you doing?”
“Si Ma…”
With her babbling, Little Ying You tried to mumble those incoherent words.
“Eat… hungry…”
“I told you not to say things halfway!”
Si Jingzhu suddenly panicked; she had just praised her for not crying or fussing, and the next moment this child was wailing for food.
“Y-You wait a minute, I’ll go find something to eat—Whoa! What are you doing! Let go!”
Without a clue where Little Ying You was getting her strength from, she had clung tightly onto Si Jingzhu’s collar, climbing up onto her.
Si Jingzhu was thrown off balance and fell backward onto the ground.
“Hungry… want milk…”
Little Ying You mumbled, her glistening eyes sparkling.
Si Jingzhu was in a panic, watching Little Ying You crawl toward her chest.
“Wait—!”
“I-I-I don’t have milk for you!”
Flustered, Si Jingzhu blurted out, “Look, I’m so flat-chested, I have nothing to feed you! I’m not even in the same league as your mom!”
Little Ying You seemed to notice this too; Si Jingzhu’s flat chest wasn’t quite like her usual breastfeeding mom.
For a moment, she curiously bit her finger.
Seeing her halt, Si Jingzhu finally exhaled in relief and awkwardly laughed, “Why don’t you lay back down for a bit? I’ll go find something for you to eat—”
Unfortunately, after a brief moment of thought, Little Ying You decided to abandon any more thinking.
What am I overthinking as a barely month-old infant?
Just eat whatever’s available!
Then, she happily crawled onto Si Jingzhu’s chest, opening her mouth wide.
“NO!”
The tragic scream echoed through the Sang Mansion.

Unfortunately, despite her wide-open mouth, in the end, she bit down on nothing.
For some reason, Little Ying You felt herself being lifted lightly, as if someone had yanked her up.
With tears in her eyes and clothes all askew, Si Jingzhu suddenly heard a voice in front of her: “Senior Sister Si, what are you doing? Little Ying asked you to look after the baby, and you can’t even handle it?”
Upon seeing Shi Qingyan’s fair face, Si Jingzhu felt tears rushing to her eyes.
“Senior Sister Shi!! Save me!”
“That little girl is a total little demon!” she cried out dramatically, “You were just gone for a bit, and she started bullying me!”
“She? Bullying you?”
Shi Qingyan glanced between Si Jingzhu and the hungry little infant in her hands.
Si Jingzhu could clearly see the incredulous and speechless look in Shi Qingyan’s eyes.
“B-But it really was her…”
Si Jingzhu was at a loss for words, nearly crying without tears, and could only helplessly wail.
“Sang Zhe! Little Ying! Where did you two go?”
“I’m not taking care of this kid anymore! Waaa!”
