Chapter 983: 983
By the time Lin Qiao finally finished her work and got to the medical department, it was already about three o’clock in the afternoon .

When she arrived, only Wu Chengyue and his daughter were in the nursery . Viney was held in Wu Chengyue’s arms and talking to him . The man knew exactly how to hold the baby right . Wu Yueling offered her little brother her exclusive seat—her father’s knees . At that moment, the little girl was standing by her father’s side and looking at Viney .
As Lin Qiao showed up at the door in a military suit, wearing an army cap and giving out a cold and strong vibe, Wu Chengyue’s eyes glowed with a bright light .
She gave birth to a baby last night, yet she had already put her military suit back on . She stood there straight and strong like a sharp sword . The brim of her cap partially covered her eyes, but could not block the fierce glow in her eyes . Her long hair were tied up at the back of her head, making her look serious, dashing, and neat .
Lin Qiao walked into the nursery as she took off her cap and handed it to Shen Yujen, who was beside her, also restraining her vibe . She wasn’t surprised to see Wu Chengyue . She walked straight to him, with her eyes fixed on Viney .
“Let me hold him,” she bent over slightly while reaching out her arms and saying expressionlessly .
Wu Chengyue gave her a glance, then handed her the baby and said, “He wants you to give him a new name . ”
Lin Qiao took over the baby, whose tender body was wrapped in a thick and soft towel . Hearing what Wu Chengyue said, she glanced at the man, then asked the baby, “Viney, what kind of name do you want?”
Viney really, really didn’t like the name ‘Viney’ . However, he was too lazy to correct his mother . “Em, I have no other requirements, only that I want ‘Wu’ as my family name . ”
On hearing that, Lin Qiao immediately cast her dagger eyes toward Wu Chengyue and slightly pressed her lips together, without saying a word . Receiving that glance, Wu Chengyue’s heart sank a little, and the smile on his face grew faint . “I didn’t say anything . ”

He didn’t ask Viney to take his family name . To be honest, he wouldn’t feel unhappy even if Viney wanted to take ‘Lu’ as his family name at the moment . He would always have a chance to change his name anyway .
Viney raised his little hands as he grabbed Lin Qiao’s collar and said, “Mama, don’t be angry . Daddy didn’t ask that . That’s what I want . He is my Daddy after all . I should take his family name . Besides, Daddy is happy to let you name me…”
Speaking so many words all at one breath made Viney feel a little tired, so he paused and rested slightly . Only after hearing that did the look in Lin Qiao’s eyes turn softer . “I’m sorry,” she apologized to Wu Chengyue for her attitude .
Wu Chengyue nodded and wore a smile again . However, that smile was still smaller than what he had just now .
He could feel that the zombie lady was rather possessive of the child . She seemed to have put him outside her safe zone and wanted to hide the baby behind herself, without letting anyone else approach him . If he tried to approach, she would raise her thorns and cast him away .
Lin Qiao looked at Viney and said, “I’ll give you an official name later, but right now, I can give you a nickname first . ”
Viney nodded, then slightly tilted his head toward Wu Chengyue . If he could open his eyes as the moment, he would have pity in his eyes .
That was his father after all . His Mama was again trying to keep him away . When on earth would the two of them be together? Did he need to wait for years to see them being together with love?
Thinking about that, Viney felt tired .

“It’s easy to give you a nickname . You were called Viney because you were a vine plant . Since you think Viney is a girl’s name, I’ll just call you little Teng-Teng . ‘Teng’ means ‘rising’, and can also mean ‘vine’ in Chinese,” Lin Qiao said to Viney smilingly .
Both Wu Chengyue and Teng-Teng felt a little speechless . Why didn’t she just name him ‘Teng’? Why Teng-Teng? That didn’t sound manly at all .
Lin Qiao ignored Viney’s reaction, but turned to Wu Yueling with a smile and asked the girl, “Ling Ling, what do you think? Your little-brother will be called Teng-Teng . ”
Wu Yueling turned and glanced Wu Chengyue and Viney with confusion . She didn’t understand why Teng-Teng wanted to change his name . Whatever his name was, he would always be her little brother .
She happily nodded . She didn’t really care what the baby’s name meant, or whether it sounded good or not .
At that time, Viney finally let out his voice to better his nickname . “Mama, just call me Teng! I don’t want to be ‘little Teng-Teng!”
“Hah!” Feeling how the baby felt, Lin Qiao couldn’t help but laugh . “Eh-hem, alright, we’ll call you Teng!”
So, Viney had his name changed into Teng .
Standing by Lin Qiao’s side, Shen Yujen smilingly looked at the baby in her arms . She envied her for having the baby, and was upset about the fact that she couldn’t have a baby of her own . She had a chance to have a baby together with Chen Yuting, but now, she didn’t even dare to kiss him .

If only she could have a baby like Chief did! However, she was aware that Chief was different from her . Looking at Teng, she was so jealous of Chief, and also had a gleam of hope rising from her heart .
Perhaps, Chief could help her have her own baby one day .
She knew it might be very hard, but that idea rooted in her mind like a seed that she thought was dead, but turned out to have survived . Her eyes were a little unfocused as Lin Qiao cast her a casual glance .
She heard Shen Yujen’s thoughts and felt her longing; she also knew how deeply she loved Chen Yuting, and how guilty she felt for everything that she believed she owed to him . After she became a zombie, he never abandoned her .
Lin Qiao turned her eyes away from Shen Yujen, then said to Teng, “Was the milk that I gave you this morning good?”
Teng clicked his tongue and then said with his baby voice, “It was good, a little fishy though . ”
“That was fresh goat milk . It could taste a little strange . But, I’ve mixed it with lake water . Did it still have that fishy flavor? Why didn’t I sense it when I tried it?”
She mixed the fresh goat milk with the lake water once she milked it . She tried it but didn’t detect any fishy smell from it . Perhaps, the baby was more sensitive to tastes and smells than her .
“Just a little bit,” said Teng .
Hearing their conversation, Wu Chengyue lost the smile on his face . He furrowed his brows and asked with confusion, “Goat milk? I don’t think you have goats in your base . Where did you get the fresh goat milk from?”
All Beings Base didn’t have an animal farm yet . Not to mention goats, cows, and pigs, there weren’t even hens, ducks, or geese in the base .
Hearing Lin Qiao mention the goat milk that came from an unknown source, he was a little worried . He knew that she wouldn’t give the baby anything harmful, but he still wanted to know about the source of the milk .
Lin Qiao gave him a glance and instantly figured out what he was thinking . “Don’t worry! Teng has his own system to differentiate edible food from inedible things . He won’t eat anything that’s harmful to him . ”
Teng nodded as he agreed with his Mama in a mature tone of speaking, “Umm, yes . Daddy, don’t worry about me!”
