Chapter 114: Chapter 80: It Should Be Different, Right?

Fang Youqing untied her bath towel and held the baby close.

Although she wasn’t producing milk anymore, it was still a surefire way to soothe a child.

"Why won’t it come loose..."

Fang Youqing muttered while holding the baby. This was completely different from how she’d imagined it.

At first, she hadn’t been worried. It seemed like such a small thing—just pull it down, wash it, and that would be the end of it. She never expected it to be so difficult.

She also realized she had used a bit too much force just now and felt a pang of pity for the baby.

"If it’s not working, let’s just leave it for now. It doesn’t seem to be causing any problems," Fang Youning said.

"This is no small matter. If we don’t handle this right, it could affect my chances of becoming a grandmother someday."

"But..."

Fang Youning was confused. ’Is there really a direct connection?’

The year one turns eighteen is a magical year.

In the first half of the year, you’re still a clueless high school student. All you see and think about is a mountain of homework and a sea of textbooks. There’s only one goal: the college entrance exams.

But in the second half of the year, everything is completely different.

Your mind matures rapidly in just a few short months. Boys don’t even have to hide under the covers to watch porn anymore.

It’s the same for girls. They talk about these things too, just not as openly.

When her roommates talked about these things, she never participated, but she still knew what they meant. She had picked up a thing or two about... that sort of thing.

Looking at her little nephew, she thought, ’It’s just a bit long, right? It doesn’t stop him from peeing. Why are they so worked up about it?’

’I don’t get it...’

"Come on, sweetie. Lie down nicely, let Mommy take a look."

After cooing softly a few times, Fang Youqing laid the baby flat on the bed.

"Here, just like before, help me hold it a bit."

"Oh, okay."

Fang Youning once again performed the humiliating maneuver that the poor little guy found so unacceptable.

Fang Youqing got serious. Before starting, she even observed it carefully, trying to find a suitable angle.

The two sisters worked together. Fang Youqing applied a little force, but it didn’t retract. It was as if it were glued on...

WAAAH—

The baby started crying again, this time exceptionally hard.

"Sis..."

"Quick, hold him still! Don’t let him move around."

Deep down, Fang Youqing had a ruthless streak.

’Mommy has no choice,’ she thought fiercely. ’If this thing doesn’t work right, what girl will ever want to be with you!’

"I’ll try..."

"Don’t just ’try,’ you have to hold him down."

"I know..."

Fang Youning held him with one hand and used the other to press down on the baby’s arms. Fang Youqing used her own legs to hold down the baby’s legs, barely managing to restrain Zhao Wen Cheng.

In for a penny, in for a pound!

Fang Youqing steeled herself and pulled down hard a few times!

"WAAAH WAAAH WAAAH—"

"AAAAAH—"

The baby cried even louder, almost running out of breath, but on Fang Youqing’s end, there was no progress.

And so... she gave up.

She took out her surefire pacifier and put it right in his mouth. The crying quieted down, but he was still hiccuping with sobs.

"Mommy will pat you... Mommy’s not going to do it anymore..."

They hadn’t accomplished much, but the two sisters were drenched in sweat.

"Sis, what do we do now?"

"I’ll check online first."

Opening the TikTok search bar, Fang Youqing began searching for information.

[For toddlers, an overly long foreskin can cause redness and inflammation, but parents, don’t worry! All you have to do is retract it and clean it daily.]

[Mommies, if your baby boy has these symptoms, you need to pay attention! In severe cases, it can lead to a UTI. The treatment is simple: apply a bit of erythromycin ointment...]

’Just like Chen Yuan said...’

[If you spot these issues, you must take your child to the hospital for an examination, or else...]

After scrolling through more than a dozen videos, Fang Youqing finally realized the problem was more serious than she had imagined.

Besides watching the videos, she also read many of the comments.

Many families had the same problem. Their solution was also to force it. Some were lucky and managed to do it themselves; others couldn’t and ended up going to the hospital.

"Did you find a solution?" Fang Youning asked.

"No, nothing good." Fang Youqing shook her head, her fine brows furrowed as she scanned the user comments. "Your classmate probably isn’t asleep yet, right? Can you ask him if he has any better ideas?"

"I’ll ask if he’s asleep first."

Taking her phone, Fang Youning sent a message to Chen Yuan and quickly got a reply.

"He’s still awake."

"Give him a call."

"Okay."

With her phone in hand, Fang Youning called Chen Yuan and put it on speaker.

"Hello?"

"I want to ask you something..."

"Give it to me, I’ll talk."

Fang Youqing took the phone.

"Chen Yuan, this is Xiaoning’s sister."

"Sister Qing."

"I tried what you said earlier, but I just couldn’t get it to retract."

"You have to keep trying. You have to get it retracted. Otherwise, if you go to the hospital, their methods will be even more forceful."

"I tried, and it’s not working. Are there any other ways? I don’t want to go to the hospital. Those doctors can be so rough."

"Well..."

Chen Yuan paused. "How about this? I’ll come over tomorrow and help you with it."

"Then we’ll have to trouble you."

"It’s fine, don’t mention it."

After settling the matter, Fang Youqing hung up and saw that the baby had fallen asleep in her arms.

"You go wash up and get to bed. You don’t need to worry about him," Fang Youqing said.

"Okay."

Fang Youning got up and went to the bathroom to shower.

Fang Youqing came out as well and washed the two new nightgowns she’d bought. They didn’t need a machine wash; a simple hand-scrub was enough.

After a quick rinse, Fang Youning dried herself off and slipped on her nightgown inside the shower stall.

Even in front of her sister, she was too embarrassed to come out naked.
