"Captain Lu, it's been such a long time since I last saw you, salute!"
"Captain Lu, this must be your youngest son, right? A real chip off the old block, strong and robust. Little guy, are you going to join the army and be a soldier like your father when you grow up?"
"Let me hold him, he's just so adorable."
...
A group of people chattered nonstop, and Lu Mingkai, having never seen such a scene before, felt a bit out of his element and looked at Shen Meng with anxious eyes.
"Don't be afraid, son. The uncles and aunts like you. Will you play with them for a bit, okay?"
"Okay."
The moment his baby voice came out, it instantly melted everyone's heart. Several people vied to hold him. A few military wives, seeing their own husbands acting like this, felt somewhat uncomfortable. At home, their own children could yearn for a hug without their husbands budging an inch, but now they're eager to cuddle someone else's child.
