After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 603

Chapter 603: Drinking Baby Milk to Grow Taller
Zhouzhou shivered and sat up abruptly.

Oh no, she had been caught!

Hurriedly, she hid the bottle behind her back and looked at him guiltily, “Sixth Senior Brother, I wasn’t doing anything.”

Wei Feng noticed the milk stains on her lips and her guilty expression. His nose twitched, and a sudden realization dawned on him. “Are you drinking Xinbao’s milk?”

Hearing these words, Zhouzhou felt even guiltier. She whispered defensively, “Sixth Senior Brother, I mixed it myself. I didn’t take Xinbao’s milk.”

Wei Feng, now certain, stated, “So you really have been drinking the baby milk.”

No wonder the baby milk had been disappearing so quickly lately, and Xinbao hadn’t seemed overfed. It all went into Zhouzhou’s little belly!

Seeing his pitiable junior sister, Wei Feng felt a headache coming on. No wonder he had been seeing her sneaking around the kitchen these past few days. She had been stealing milk! This silly child. He swiftly stood up, grabbing Zhouzhou and walking out.

Zhouzhou, confused, watched him. She was about to continue drinking from the bottle. Since she had been caught, she thought she could now drink openly.

Seeing through her thoughts, Wei Feng twitched his mouth, quickly snatching the bottle away. For the first time, he spoke sternly to her, “You can’t keep drinking this. Aren’t you afraid of hurting your stomach? If you want milk, tell me. I’ll get you some formula.”

“But formula doesn’t make me grow tall,” Zhouzhou muttered softly.

“What did you say?” Wei Feng asked, looking at her, not having heard clearly.

Zhouzhou immediately shook her head, clinging to his arm, “Senior Brother, I was wrong. Please don’t be mad at me.”

Wei Feng couldn’t bear to be mad at her. He was only worried about her. He took her to the infirmary, placing her on the examination table.

The island doctor, a kind-looking man in his fifties who had been a military doctor, asked, “What’s wrong? Is she feeling unwell?”

Wei Feng replied, “Zhouzhou has been drinking Xinbao’s milk. Please check if there’s any issue.” He handed over the milk formula.

The doctor was taken aback, and with a confused expression, asked, “She drank what?”

Embarrassed, Wei Feng repeated in a whisper, “Baby milk.”

The doctor, speechless, turned to Zhouzhou, who looked innocent, blinking with her chubby fingers poking at each other. She didn’t seem too bright.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Why drink baby milk?”

Zhouzhou replied, “Because it makes you grow fast. Xinbao grows so quickly, and I want to grow tall too, up to three meters!”

The two men were speechless. Xinbao grows quickly because it’s a bear. Her pets all grew faster than her, except for Jinbao the cat, whose size was naturally limited. But animals couldn’t be compared to humans.

Fortunately, the milk formula contained nothing unusual, and Zhouzhou was in good health. After the check-up revealed no issues, Wei Feng was relieved.

As they were leaving, the doctor couldn’t help but chuckle and admonish, “Little girl, you mustn’t eat randomly. If you harm your body, you’ll never grow tall.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou was frightened and quickly nodded, “Okay.”

Then she reluctantly asked, “Uncle, baby milk really can’t make me grow taller?”

“It can make baby bears grow taller, but not human babies. Humans and bears are different.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou’s eyes dimmed, and she drooped, feeling deflated. She had hoped to find a way to grow taller, but it didn’t work. How could she grow tall?

As she dragged her feet back, looking unhappy, Ye Lingfeng rushed over, worried, “Zhouzhou, are you feeling unwell?”

He had heard that she had gone to the infirmary in the middle of the night and was very concerned.

Xi Mo, who had also hurried over, looked at Zhouzhou with worry. Wei Feng, seeing their concern, didn’t keep them in suspense and showed them the bottle, “Zhouzhou was caught drinking baby milk.”

What? The two were puzzled, wondering why she would steal baby milk. Zhouzhou’s face turned red, and she covered it with her chubby hands, drawing circles on the ground with her feet, “I just wanted to grow taller.”

Ye Lingfeng was speechless, wondering how his silly daughter had come up with this idea. Xi Mo thought she must have inherited her father’s foolishness. Realizing it was a false alarm, they were both relieved.

Ye Lingfeng looked at Zhouzhou, tapping her forehead, “Don’t eat random things anymore. Growing tall isn’t something that happens overnight. If you hurt your body, you’ll always be short. Understand?”

“I understand.” Zhouzhou nodded sadly, still yearning to grow to three meters high. She couldn’t wait.

Seeing her dejected, Ye Lingfeng picked her up, rubbing her head, “It’s okay, don’t worry. Tomorrow, Daddy will braid your hair high, so even if you’re not tall enough, your hair will make up for it.”

Zhouzhou gave him a resentful look, pouting, and turned her head away. Her pout could almost hold a bottle. Daddy was mean, making fun of her! She vowed that one day, she wouldn’t need high hair to be tall.

Xi Mo patted her head but said nothing, unsure of what to say. Zhouzhou’s way of thinking was quite peculiar.

Worried that the little chubby girl might sneak out in the middle of the night to drink more milk, Ye Lingfeng rolled up her small bedding and took her straight back to his side. He felt more at ease keeping her close, avoiding any midnight adventures to munch on bamboo.

As it turns out, that was exactly what Zhouzhou had in mind. However, since transporting bamboo to the island is difficult, she was concerned that if she ate it, there wouldn’t be enough left for the pandas, so she hadn’t acted on it yet. If Ye Lingfeng knew what she was thinking, he’d probably laugh out loud.

While she couldn’t eat the bamboo, she could definitely eat the bamboo shoots. The next day, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up when she saw the fresh green bamboo shoot slices, and she eagerly started eating with her little chubby hands.

Chen Tuo sidled up to her and asked, “Master Zhou, did you snatch those shoots from Xinbao?”

Zhouzhou paused, then, seeing his teasing grin, clenched her tiny fist. “Stinky Little Brother, are you asking for a beating again?”
