Chapter 121 Sanbao Speaks

Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Sanbao Speaks

After moving house, it was only a few days before the end of April.

The May Day holiday was just around the corner.

On the last day of April.

"Come here, Da Bao."

"Da Bao, yes... Daddy is here!"

In the nursery, Xiao Fei was sitting cross-legged on the floor, waving his hand repeatedly at Da Bao in front of him.

Da Bao lay on the floor, lifting his head slightly to look at Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei stared at him with eager anticipation.

Over the past few days, Xiao Fei had keenly noticed that Da Bao’s motor skills had improved again.

Da Bao had already learned to roll over and was able to grab things near him with his little hands and then toss them away.

But in the past couple of days, Xiao Fei found that Da Bao was increasingly adopting a crawling posture after rolling over. Although he hadn’t truly seen Da Bao crawl yet, Xiao Fei believed it would happen in the next few days.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Fei began consciously guiding Da Bao to start crawling.

"Ya ya... yi ya..."

Da Bao babbled indistinctly.

Xiao Fei held Da Bao’s favorite little duck plush toy in his hand.

Da Bao clearly wanted to play with it, twisting his small body and trying hard to lift his upper body.

"Da Bao, come on, come to Daddy!"

"Da Bao is the best!"

As if he understood Xiao Fei’s encouragement, Da Bao blinked his eyes and wriggled his little bottom slightly.

His chubby little legs began to move.

Xiao Fei’s eyes shone brighter and brighter.

"Da Bao, come on! You’re the best!"

"Yi ya..."

Finally, Da Bao crawled a tiny step forward, but immediately lost his balance and fell flat onto the ground with a plop.

Thankfully, the soft carpet below ensured Da Bao wasn’t hurt at all.

On the other side, Er Bao and Sanbao watched Da Bao’s movements and mimicked him, attempting to crawl as well.

"Er Bao, Sanbao, Daddy is here. Come to me, quick!"

"Goo ya...!"

"Ya... pff pff...!"

Lying on the carpet, Er Bao kept waving her little hands toward Xiao Fei. But when she saw Xiao Fei didn’t move closer, she pouted and looked aggrieved.

"Er Bao, don’t cry. Come on, get to Daddy!"

Xiao Fei continued to encourage her.

At this moment, Da Bao, still lying on the ground, lifted his body slightly again.

He tried crawling once more, his little face turning red from exertion.

"Wu wu... ya..."

Da Bao managed to crawl another little step forward.

This time, he didn’t fall.

"Da Bao is amazing!"

Xiao Fei promptly showered him with praise.

Babies might not understand adult words yet, but they are sensitive and can feel emotions from adults, especially parents, through their expressions and tones.

Encouraged by his dad, Da Bao seemed to be full of energy again and crawled another step forward.

"Good job, Da Bao!"

Finally, Da Bao, wobbling and stumbling, gradually made his way to Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei scooped Da Bao up, kissed his chubby little face, and placed him beside him, handing him the little duck plushie.

"Ya ya... ya..."

Xiao Fei gently pinched Da Bao’s face and then turned his expectant gaze toward Er Bao and Sanbao.

"Er Bao, Sanbao, you can do it too. Come to Daddy and Da Bao!"

Xiao Fei held Er Bao and Sanbao’s favorite little toys in his hands, waving them lightly.

The two little ones tried hard to crawl, but compared to Da Bao, they seemed a bit behind.

Even though they were triplets and had grown up together, Da Bao seemed to be ahead in everything. He was the first to roll over, the most obedient, and now the first to start crawling.

Still, although both were slower than Da Bao, Er Bao and Sanbao had differences as well.

Perhaps because Er Bao was livelier, she was a bit ahead of Sanbao.

With every tiny movement forward, Er Bao would fall flat on her face before making another effort to move a little more.

Watching Er Bao surpass her, Sanbao grew increasingly anxious.

"Ya... goo ya..."

"Sanbao, you can do it~"

"Ya... ya... da da... da da..."

Xiao Fei: "???"

His eyes widened suddenly.

Did Sanbao just call someone?!

He hurriedly set aside encouraging the other two, rushing over to hold Sanbao gently.

"Sanbao~?"

"Goo ya...!"

"Sanbao, say Daddy."

"Goo ya..."

"Daddy~"

"Goo... ya..."

"Da...ddy..."

Xiao Fei exaggerated his lip movements.

Sanbao stared at Xiao Fei with wide eyes and then...

"Da... da..."

Though her pronunciation was far from clear, though it might have been unconscious mimicry, and though Sanbao surely didn’t know what "Daddy" meant, Xiao Fei was sure—Sanbao had just instinctively tried calling him Daddy!

Xiao Fei’s breathing quickened.

His child had called him Daddy!

"Sanbao, say it again, okay? Da...ddy..."

"Goo ya!"

But for quite a while afterward, despite Xiao Fei’s efforts, Sanbao only babbled "goo ya" without repeating "da da."

Xiao Fei looked slightly disappointed.

That evening, when Tang Yuxin came home and heard about it, she couldn’t help clutching her stomach as she laughed.

"Honey, the baby is so young."

"She’s only six months old, not even seven yet. How could she call anyone yet?"

"But I called the doctor this afternoon, and they said if a baby develops quickly at six or seven months, they might instinctively mimic adults talking without understanding yet."

"Really? My mom says I didn’t start talking till I was almost one!"

"That’s because you were silly~"

"Wow! Honey, are you actually calling me silly?"

Tang Yuxin immediately protested and charged at Xiao Fei, biting his shoulder playfully.

"Anyway, I really did hear Sanbao call me Daddy this afternoon."

"I don’t believe it."

With a coquettish hum, Tang Yuxin nonetheless looked excited as she said:

"Unless you can prove it to me."

At that, the couple went to their children’s side.

They pinched Da Bao, kissed Er Bao, and then Tang Yuxin picked up Sanbao.

"Sanbao?"

"Goo ya!"

Sanbao, held in her mom’s arms, was delighted, twisting her little body continuously.

"Say Mommy~"

"Goo ya~"

"Mom~~my~~"

"Ya~~ya~~"

"Not ’ya ya,’ it’s ’Mommy.’ Mom...my..."

"??"

Sanbao tilted her head, a string of question marks hovering over her tiny head.

"See, honey, Sanbao doesn’t know how to call anyone yet."

"Try again. I feel like that ’ya ya’ was her trying to follow you just now."

Xiao Fei suggested.

Tang Yuxin shook her head helplessly and began coaxing her again.

"Mom~~my~~"

"Ya...ya..."

"Mom~~my~~"

"...ma...ma..."

!!!!!

Tang Yuxin froze.

Xiao Fei froze as well.

They both stared dumbfounded at Sanbao.

"Quick! Honey! Kiss Sanbao! Praise her! The doctor said when a baby starts mimicking speech, you should praise and encourage them immediately! Hurry!"

"Oh... ah! Right, okay, okay!"

Tang Yuxin hastily kissed Sanbao, a bright smile blossoming on her face.

"Sanbao, come, say Mommy."

"...Wah...wah..."

"Mommy."

"Ya...ya..."

"Mommy..."

"Ma...ma..."

Tang Yuxin quickly kissed Sanbao again.

Their baby had called her Mommy!

The couple’s joy exploded like a volcano, as if they’d gone from rags to riches by winning five million dollars.
