Lu Chuan felt his scalp tingling, frozen there, somewhat at a loss.
He had lived through two lifetimes and hadn't had a girlfriend yet, but unexpectedly became a father prematurely!
This strange feeling made it difficult for Lu Chuan to describe for a moment.
He now understands why many people become dumbfounded the moment they see their child born, as if their brain has forgotten to think.
He didn't even think about how Little Qiqi suddenly opened her mouth to speak without anyone teaching her.
Lu Chuan originally thought this was just acting, but it turned out this kind of wonderful feeling really exists.
Looking at this incredibly cute little fellow before him, Lu Chuan felt like his heart was about to melt because of her.
In this cold, bloody, and ruined apocalyptic world, such a tender voice seemed to dispel all death and darkness!
Lu Chuan was not the only one feeling incredibly shocked; Ji Ruxue herself was also equally surprised.
The moment she spoke, Ji Ruxue stood there dumbfounded with surprise filling her eyes.
How did I suddenly start speaking?!
But Ji Ruxue didn't mind this too much, as she wasn't exactly a real baby.
With the soul of her past life, speaking wasn't really a problem.
However, since being reborn into a baby's body, she hadn't gotten familiar with its organs and had not practiced speaking much; otherwise, she could have spoken long ago.
After Ji Ruxue opened her eyes, the apocalypse had already erupted in this world.
Besides having a zombie father with human consciousness, there was no one else to talk to, so Ji Ruxue simply stayed silent.
Clearly, she was too excited and agitated just now, so her thoughts slipped out uncontrollably.
Seeing the zombie father who had accompanied her for many days survive and return unharmed, Ji Ruxue truly felt excited and happy inside.
This feeling of regained loss was the most thrilling.
Even for Ji Ruxue, who was accustomed to seeing life and death separations, experiencing all this now, her heart was filled with joy and excitement.
In Ji Ruxue's heart, she had long regarded Lu Chuan as her family, as an irreplaceable presence in her life.
Even though the two of them—a human baby and a zombie in the apocalypse—such sentiments were not constrained by racial boundaries.
Watching Little Qiqi in front of him, Lu Chuan found himself so excited that he was gesticulating wildly.
He had never been called "dad" before, and had not expected that the feeling of becoming a father could be so remarkable.
Roar! Roar!
Lu Chuan's eyes were filled with delight as he looked at the little one in front of him, with countless words wanting to be expressed.
Unfortunately, being a zombie, he had long lost the ability to speak.
Whether he could restore this ability in the future was uncertain, but for now there was no hope.
Therefore, Lu Chuan could only let out a couple of low growls to express his inner excitement and delight.
Just wondering if Little Qiqi could understand his meaning.
Lu Chuan couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth rise.
Luckily, with constant evolution, his appearance now looked not much different from humans.
Otherwise, making this action would be somewhat creepy.
"Hahaha! I've become a dad!"
"I never thought, in my past life, I didn't even have a girlfriend, and in this life, being reborn as a zombie, I end up becoming a father?!"
"Little Qiqi is awesome! I knew my dear daughter is a genius!"
Lu Chuan was extremely excited at this moment.
As for the matter of the little one speaking, Lu Chuan had already thought about it before.
But currently he's really powerless, since speaking relies on mutual communication.
If no one teaches her, what if Little Qiqi becomes a mute in the future?
He couldn't keep roaring like himself, that would be too weird...
So Lu Chuan mostly avoided making sounds in front of Little Qiqi, fearing the little one would learn something she shouldn't.
But he never expected the little one to stay in the room by herself every day, and could learn to speak all on her own.
She could stand up and walk upright, and even learn to speak all on her own, if this isn't a genius, what is it?!
Lu Chuan finally understood what it meant to be born knowing.
Little Qiqi is exactly this kind of prodigy!
No, godly infant!
He felt that Little Qiqi living in the apocalypse was truly a waste of innate talent.
If she could live in a stable world, just based on this little one's wisdom and qualifications, she would definitely become a genius prodigy.
...
"Daddy."
"No milk…"
Seeing the zombie father ready to prepare formula for her, Ji Ruxue quickly ran to Lu Chuan's side, tugged at his clothes, babbling.
As she spoke she opened her mouth, revealing her two rows of baby teeth.
Drinking milk powder every day, Ji Ruxue was truly sick of it; she felt like her mouth always tasted like formula...
Lu Chuan's actions paused, feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment.
He didn't expect the little one to grow this fast, already having baby teeth.
He had virtually no experience in raising children, unexpectedly knowing less than Little Qiqi about these things…
Lu Chuan subconsciously scratched his head, feeling somewhat confused in the kitchen around him.
He had never raised a child; apart from making formula, he didn't know where to start for a moment.
But quickly Lu Chuan responded by going to the sixth floor, clearing out space in a room there.
Then, Lu Chuan had the Corpse Puppet gather firewood and took out a pot, putting mineral water and some rice together to start cooking.
Lu Chuan didn't expect he would actually light a fire indoors so soon…
As the apocalypse progressed, there were no longer fresh vegetables, so Lu Chuan could only make some rice porridge for the little one.
Then Lu Chuan added some formula, using a spoon to mash the porridge into a sticky paste.
Looking at the bowl of thick rice paste in front of him, Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction, this should be the baby's food in the apocalypse.
He then let the rice paste cool down, and brought it to the little one.
"Daddy, let me do it myself."
Seeing Lu Chuan clumsily feeding her, Ji Ruxue couldn't wait anymore.
She simply took the spoon from Lu Chuan's hand, and started eating bit by bit on her own.
Though Lu Chuan's baby food was simple and rough, Ji Ruxue didn't pick on it; having enough to eat in this apocalyptic world was already pretty good, much better than drinking milk every day.
Watching the little one eat heartily, Lu Chuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Little Qiqi is finally grown up."
