LPLFDA Chapter 93

As Tao Zhi finished speaking, the smile on Little Deer’s face instantly froze.

But it only lasted a few seconds before he snapped out of it: “Hahaha, he’s so chubby. I want to take a bite, too.”

“You don’t want to eat him, you want to bite him.”

While saying this, Little Deer swiped the key card to activate the elevator and went to find his room.

Li Sheng booked the room for three nights.

Little Deer had initially planned to find a cheap hotel after arriving. But since Li Sheng had already made the reservation, he saved on accommodation costs for these few days.

The hotel offered a complimentary breakfast buffet. Besides breakfast, if Little Deer wanted to eat at other times, he could simply use room service to have food prepared and delivered.

None of these incurred extra charges.

As Little Deer walked through the hotel, he gradually became captivated by his surroundings.

“This hotel is so luxurious.”

Even the high-standard hotels he had stayed in during overseas competitions couldn’t compare to this one.

Little Deer looked around left and right before finally locating his room.

When he opened the door and saw the spacious, open-plan suite, he stood frozen in place.

Floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views, a large sofa, a grand piano, and an obviously expensive bed.

In the bathroom, there was a beautiful, oversized bathtub.

Although the hotel provided dining services, the room still featured an elegant, compact kitchen.

Inside the kitchen was a refrigerator. When Little Deer opened it, he found it fully stocked with a variety of ingredients.

Many of the ingredients were ones Little Deer, who often cooked and enjoyed watching cooking shows, immediately recognized as extremely expensive.

“Yuan Yuan’s dad… this is way too extravagant.”

Staring at the room, Little Deer stammered: “Tao Zhi, let’s find another place to stay.”

“I’ll call Yuan Yuan and see if we can cancel this reservation.”

Although Little Deer didn’t know the exact daily rate, he was certain the cost of staying here would be a staggering amount.

Tao Zhi had no objections.

He was truly easy to please. He is not picky about food or accommodations.

Moreover, he was very obedient.

Most of the time, he would do whatever Little Deer asked.

So, when Little Deer called Feng Yuan, he didn’t try to stop him at all.

The call was answered by Li Sheng.

Li Sheng asked, “Is there something you need?”

Little Deer had actually intended to reach Li Sheng through Feng Yuan anyway. Seeing that he had picked up, Little Deer expressed his wish to cancel the room.

“This place is too expensive… Mr. Li, Brother Yu already paid me in advance for the clothes. You really don’t need to spend so much extra.”

Hearing that this was the reason, Li Sheng replied calmly, “It’s fine. The reservation is already made, so just stay.”

Pausing briefly, he added while glancing at the chubby little one trying on clothes on his lap, “The clothes you made are excellent. Yuan Yuan loves them.”

“I’ll add your contact info later. If you have time in the future, you can make some more for me.”

“I’ll cover the labor and material costs.”

Watching the chubby little one chirping happily, Li Sheng placed another order with Little Deer.

Without a second thought, Little Deer accepted it.

He genuinely enjoyed crafting things by hand. Now that his handmade creations could earn him so much, he felt delighted.

They didn’t talk much longer.

Li Sheng simply reassured Little Deer to stay without worry. The hotel was his property.

After hanging up, Little Deer set his phone aside and began taking ingredients from the refrigerator to cook.

While holding these rare, high-quality ingredients, he chattered away to Tao Zhi.

“Yuan Yuan is such a little lucky charm! Ever since I met him, my luck has been unstoppable!”

From the surge in traffic, Yu Yi’s generous donations and custom orders, to having Yuan Yuan’s father cover his accommodation. He’d encountered this whole string of good fortune!

Little Deer had always been optimistic since childhood, rarely dwelling on unpleasant events. But when happy things happened, they could keep him cheerful for a long time.

As he cooked, thinking about all the recent good fortune, his delicate face couldn’t suppress its beaming smile.

“This is wonderful!”

Little Deer chopped meat with his kitchen knife, thumping rhythmically. Between chops, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Meeting Yuan Yuan is truly the best!”

While Little Deer was in the kitchen feeling grateful for Feng Yuan, at that moment, the little chubby ball standing on his dad’s leg was also thinking of Little Deer.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

Little Deer is so wonderful!

“Chirp chirp!”

Yuan Yuan likes Little Deer!

The little chubby ball chirped repeatedly, praising Little Deer.

Li Sheng’s ears were practically calloused from hearing it.

He held his phone, filming the little chubby ball as he kept changing outfits. He filmed the entire way home until the little ball finally settled on his favorite set of clothes.

He chose a small red cloak adorned with gemstones, a small crown with a tasseled veil, and a string of gemstone necklaces. This ensemble made the little chubby ball look utterly dazzling.

“Chirp chirp.”

Mirror.

Feng Yuan asked for the mirror again. He adjusted his little cloak and twirled in front of the mirror several times.

“Chirp!”

So beautiful!

Satisfied that he was indeed stunning, the little chubby ball tapped his claws and hopped onto Big Dad’s head.

Li Sheng’s head instantly felt heavier. The combined weight of the chubby ball and his extravagant outfit was no joke.

“Chirp!”

Dad, let’s go!

Little King Yuan, wearing his small crown, waved his short, chubby wings while directing from atop his big dad’s head.

Li Sheng sighed helplessly and reached up to steady him.

“Chirp!”

Don’t touch Yuan Yuan!

King Yuan Yuan pecked at Big Dad’s hand, forbidding him from touching him at that moment. In the TV dramas, kings were not to be disrespected!

With Yuan Yuan perched on his head, Li Sheng carried him all the way into the mansion.

Inside, the adults were gathered. Given that Feng Yuan had caused quite a bit of mischief at home this past week, though no one had the heart to scold him, everyone was worried that Feng Qi might punish him. As soon as he entered, they hurriedly reminded him, “Yuan Yuan, look, your dad is back.”

“Didn’t you say you missed your dad? Go give him a hug.”

Li Wei was the first to give the little one a meaningful look.

After she spoke, Qin Xun, who hadn’t ridden in the same car but had returned earlier in another vehicle, also chimed in.

“Yuan Yuan, come here.”

All the adults urged Feng Yuan to snuggle with his dad.

But unexpectedly, the little chubby ball standing firmly on Big Dad’s head showed no intention of flying over for a cuddle. His plump body remained steady.

“Chirp.”

The little chubby ball chirped solemnly.

Only after this chirp did he spare a moment to call out to his dad.

“Chirp.”

Dad, Yuan Yuan will hug you in a bit.

After briefly chirping to his dad, his little eyes swept over all the adults, including his dad, who was narrowing his eyes.

Under the gaze of all the adults, Little Chubby Ball chirped proudly.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

Now, everyone, come and pay respects to King Yuan Yuan!

Feng Qi: “…”

All the adults: “…”

Everyone looked at King Yuan Yuan with complicated expressions, but no one came forward to pay their respects.

Unable to receive the homage he expected, King Yuan Yuan grew a little angry.

He shook his little cape and struck an even more imposing pose.

“Chirp!”

King Yuan Yuan demands—

Before King Yuan Yuan could finish his chirped threat, Feng Qi strode over the next second and plucked him right off Li Sheng’s head.

“You little rascal! After just a few days apart, you’re declaring yourself king now!”

After returning, Feng Qi had learned about the trouble Feng Yuan had caused over the past week. He had initially intended to let it slide.

After all, what was done was done. It wasn’t appropriate to revisit it.

But now, the little one had delivered himself right into his hands.

Declaring himself king in front of so many elders. It seemed this little one’s bottom had gone too long without a spanking to remember his place.

Furious, Feng Qi held him in his hand and raised his hand to spank him.

Sensing the danger, King Yuan Yuan’s chirps grew panicked.

He tried hard to maintain his composure and chirped loudly.

“King Yuan Yuan commands you. You cannot hit Yuan Yuan!”

Feng Qi: “…”

Feng Qi sneered, “If you’re the king, then I’m the Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager can spank the king whenever she pleases!”

Little Chubby Ball: “!”

Little Chubby Ball was stunned.

So King Yuan Yuan wasn’t the highest authority after all!

Forcibly held down by Empress Dowager Feng Qi for a spanking, King Yuan Yuan’s round, black bean-like eyes finally began to show fear.

He looked back at his dad, chirping pitifully.

“Can you not hit Yuan Yuan? Yuan Yuan was wrong.”

“No.”

Feng Qi delivered a smack right to his plump little bottom. “If you dare boss around or disrespect your elders like this again, Dad will spank you again!”

Feng Yuan’s black bean-like eyes welled up with tears from the spanking.

He hadn’t meant to disrespect the elders!

On TV, kings were supposed to be paid respect.

He had put on his little crown. He was King Yuan Yuan!

“Chirp.”

The spanked little chubby ball, while crying, used his little claws to adjust his cape.

“Dad, don’t break Yuan Yuan’s little cape.”

The little cape that Little Deer made. If it got broken, there wouldn’t be a second one like it.

Feng Qi only gave him a few smacks before stopping.

After the spanking, the little chubby ball finally stopped calling himself King Yuan Yuan.

He chirped and flew onto his grandparents’ laps.

Li Heng and Frida had long been utterly charmed by the little chubby ball in his cape.

The couple gently rubbed the little chubby ball’s bottom, softly comforting the aggrieved little one.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Our Yuan Yuan won’t be naughty next time.”

When Feng Qi disciplined the child, Li Heng and Frida never interfered.

They knew their boundaries well, when to step in and when not to.

After a week’s break, the little chubby ball got another spanking. Qin Xun, standing nearby, counted the days since the last one.

Not bad this time. Only one spanking in a whole week.

Time passed little by little.

Feng Yuan adored his little cape and little crown so much that he refused to take them off even during meals.

Seeing how insistently he chirped about it, the adults had no choice but to indulge him.

But to make matters worse, the little one even wanted to wear the cape and crown to sleep.

“Yuan Yuan, be good. This little crown will dig into your head.”

Feng Qi tried to reason with him gently. “How about we wear it again tomorrow?”

“Chirp!”

No.

The little chubby ball retreated a step, using his small wings to shield his head, refusing to let Daddy take it off.

The tiny crown was densely adorned with gemstones, each weighing considerable weight.

When Little Deer had made it, he hadn’t considered that the tiny crown would be worn for long.

So, he had added an abundance of gemstones.

Now, with such a heavy little crown perched on Feng Yuan’s head, it looked as though it had taken up permanent residence.

Feng Qi patiently coaxed him for quite some time.

“Yuan Yuan, Dad is doing this for your own good. If you sleep with this on, you’ll definitely be uncomfortable.”

“Chirp!”

Comfy!

“Chirp chirp!”

Yuan Yuan likes wearing it.

Once the little one gets stubborn, no one can persuade him otherwise.

Just as Feng Qi was getting so angry he was about to spank the child, Li Sheng stepped in to stop him.

“Forget it, if he wants to wear it, let him. After he sleeps for a while, he’ll probably fuss to have it taken off himself.”

Li Sheng soothed Feng Qi. In the end, Feng Qi simply turned his back on this little king Yuan and went to sleep.

Feng Yuan had successfully defended his tiny crown. As he slept, he even used his wings to prop it up.

The little crown was heavy, both cumbersome and uncomfortable.

But even in his sleep, Feng Yuan stubbornly refused to let anyone take it off.

Li Sheng tried to remove it stealthily. But before he could, the little one opened his dark, bean-like eyes.

Left with no choice, Li Sheng had to let him be, allowing him to sleep through the night like that.

And that night.

Tao Zhi ate a great many things, yet he still wasn’t full.

Lying in bed, he recalled the chubby little one he had seen in the evening.

A little phoenix.

Plump and tender, very delicious.

As Tao Zhi thought about the taste of the little phoenix, his appetite became almost uncontrollable.

The more he thought, the hungrier he grew.

Soon, he sat up.

Just as he silently rose, Little Deer beside him also rubbed his eyes and woke up.

“Tao Zhi, what’s wrong?”

“Hungry.”

“Ah? Hungry? Then I’ll make you something to eat. How about some fried rice?”

Waking in the middle of the night, Little Deer showed not a hint of annoyance upon hearing Tao Zhi say he was hungry.

He rubbed his eyes again, got out of bed, and calmly went to prepare a meal for Tao Zhi.

Tao Zhi grabbed his hand.

“No need to cook. No matter how much I eat, I’ll still be hungry.”

His current hunger wasn’t true hunger.

Instead, he was craving.

As a gluttonous beast, no matter how much food Little Deer made for him, he could finish it all.

His appetite was enormous. The meals Little Deer prepared for him only slightly eased his hunger.

Even if he didn’t eat, he wouldn’t starve to death.

Besides, what he was feeling now was a craving.

“I know you’ll still be hungry after eating, but having a little something will ease the hunger a bit.”

Little Deer patted Tao Zhi’s head and still insisted on making him food.

Seeing this, Tao Zhi stuck close to him and followed him into the kitchen.

“Tao Zhi, how about… how about I take you to the hospital for a check-up? I’ve looked into it. There’s a private hospital here that’s really, really good.”

This private hospital belonged to the Li family.

Little Deer had initially planned to make an appointment himself. He hadn’t expected to run into Li Sheng.

With Li Sheng around, he thought—

Making an appointment at this hospital should be a bit easier for him now.

“Not going.”

As usual, Tao Zhi rested his chin on Little Deer’s shoulder. He loved the scent of food.

Although in his eyes, everything in the world was edible.

But food still varied in texture and taste.

The bricks, floors, and concrete outside didn’t taste very good.

The meals Little Deer cooked had the best texture.

Little Deer’s own scent had the very best texture.

And the taste of that little phoenix he saw today… That was the absolute best.

Tao Zhi had ranked all these “foods” in order.

He had finished the ranking, yet he didn’t eat the phoenix with the best texture.

He only ate the meals prepared by Little Deer, which had a very good texture.

In the hotel, the glutton was still eating late into the night.

As for the little chubby phoenix with the best texture, it wasn’t in the habit of eating at night.

Wearing his tiny crown, he stubbornly slept through the entire night.

The next day arrived.

It was the day Feng Yuan was supposed to go to Robert’s house with his sister.

Li Si had mentioned this to Feng Yuan long in advance.

Feng Qi also knew about his schedule, so he woke him up early in the morning.

But as soon as the little chubby ball sat up in bed after waking, he tilted his head and burst into tears.

“Dad, Yuan Yuan’s neck hurts so much!”

Feng Qi: “…”

Well, the consequences of the little one’s stubbornness had arrived.
