Thank you, BlueMoon, for the ko-fi~
The door was locked.
Feng Yuan pushed it several times, but it wouldn’t budge.
He pouted, clenched his little fists, and began banging loudly on the door.
An annoyed voice came from inside the room. It was Yu Ye asking, “Who is it?”
His tone was a bit harsh.
Feng Yuan humphed, “It’s Yuan Yuan!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a louder noise came from inside the room.
It sounded like something had fallen off the bed.
Immediately after, Chi Rong’s voice rang out, “Baby, wait! I’ll open the door for you right away!”
Inside the room, Chi Rong was flustered as he hurriedly put on his clothes.
He didn’t even bother to put on his shoes before rushing to open the door for Feng Yuan.
Seeing the chubby little guy standing at the door, Chi Rong’s eyes lit up with joy.
He bent down and scooped the little chubby child into his arms.
“Baby, what brings you here? I thought you were going to play by yourself.”
After picking Feng Yuan up, Chi Rong couldn’t resist planting a kiss on his chubby little cheek.
The two snuggled affectionately, while Yu Ye, who had just gotten up from the floor, leisurely put on his clothes behind them.
He was taking his time getting dressed.
Feng Yuan immediately noticed the marks on his back.
“Uncle got hurt?”
Feng Yuan pointed his little finger at Yu Ye.
Chi Rong’s face flushed red as he grabbed the little chubby hand and vaguely explained, “He just got scratched accidentally. Don’t worry about him.”
“Baby, were you scared staying alone in the hospital these past few days?”
The thought of the little guy staying in the hospital by himself made Chi Rong’s heart ache.
He had even come across a video online of the child wearing protective clothing and riding to the hospital. Watching it had brought tears to his eyes.
Feeling Chi Rong’s concern, Feng Yuan let out a soft “Mmm.”
“Yuan Yuan isn’t scared.”
The little guy answered honestly, “Yuan Yuan likes staying at the hospital.”
If only Grandpa wouldn’t turn off his TV, he thought his hospital stay would be absolutely perfect.
Chi Rong was taken aback.
Feng Yuan patted his face and gave him an affectionate kiss.
“Uncle Chi Rong, were you really worried about Yuan Yuan?”
Chi Rong nodded.
Feng Yuan cupped his face and earnestly reassured him, “Don’t worry about Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan will be fine.”
After all, he was now a super-powerful little phoenix!
His fire-breathing skills were way better than before!
The highly confident little phoenix began boasting about his achievements to Chi Rong.
Before they knew it, the two had moved over to the sofa.
Yu Ye’s room was quite spacious.
His master bedroom included a large walk-in closet, a bathroom, a living area, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
At that moment, Feng Yuan and Chi Rong were sitting on the sofa in front of the large window.
Feng Yuan sat cross-legged, chubby legs folded, chatting away while gulping down water.
Beside the sofa was a small round coffee table laden with snacks and drinks.
Feng Yuan had just woken up and was feeling a bit hungry.
After finishing his water, his chubby little hand reached for a handful of brightly colored dried apricots from the plate.
The apricots looked delicious.
Having talked himself tired, the little guy stuffed a handful of dried apricots into his mouth.
Since he was very young, he had always loved eating in big mouthfuls.
When he was even smaller, Feng Qi had to keep a close watch on him while he ate.
If the little guy’s mouth got too full and he couldn’t swallow, Feng Qi had to quickly pry his mouth open and scoop out the food.
If he didn’t, the child could choke and be in danger.
Now, at four years old, the little guy rarely chokes while eating.
But with this mouthful of dried apricots, his chubby little face still scrunched up comically.
“Hey, baby, what’s wrong?”
Chi Rong was startled to see the chubby little guy squinting and scrunching up his face.
“Yu Ye, Yu Ye, come quick! The dried apricots are poisoned!”
Seeing Feng Yuan unable to even speak, Chi Rong grew frantic.
He anxiously called for Yu Ye.
Yu Ye, having finished dressing, walked over and glanced at Feng Yuan’s chubby little face.
He said calmly, “He’s not poisoned.”
Chi Rong didn’t believe him.
Yu Ye picked up a dried apricot and personally stuffed it into Chi Rong’s mouth.
Chi Rong exclaimed, “Are you trying to poison me, too!”
Chi Rong was outright furious.
Yu Ye looked exasperated. “These dried apricots aren’t poisoned. They’re just too sour. His face is contorted from the sourness.”
Chi Rong still didn’t believe him.
He chewed the dried apricot in his mouth a couple of times, then declared with certainty, “It’s not sour.”
Yu Ye: “…”
Before Yu Ye could express further disbelief, Feng Yuan, who had been contorted by the sourness, finally recovered.
He swallowed the dried apricot in his mouth.
“Uncle Chi Rong.”
Feng Yuan gulped down water while clarifying, “Yuan Yuan isn’t poisoned. These dried apricots are so sour!”
Feng Yuan wasn’t picky with food.
He had eaten dried peaches, bananas, and apricots before.
But these dried apricots were the sourest he had ever tasted.
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, a flicker of confusion crossed Chi Rong’s beautiful face.
He took a few more bites of the dried apricot but still didn’t find it sour.
“Maybe it’s because our dragon taste buds are a bit unique.”
Chi Rong figured out the reason.
After explaining, he waved his hand, shooing Yu Ye away.
“Stop standing around here. You’re interrupting my chat with the baby.”
Yu Ye didn’t leave.
Instead, he picked up a tablet and settled into another armchair to work.
Compared to the leisurely Yu Yi, Yu Ye, as the eldest of the Yu family, was always busy with work.
Before Chi Rong came along, he had devoted most of his time to work.
The Yu family’s already substantial wealth had doubled under his management.
Now that Chi Rong was here, Yu Ye’s work hours had decreased slightly, but not by much.
He had simply adjusted his work style.
Many in-person tasks were now handled online.
Yu Ye worked on his tablet.
Chi Rong glanced at him but didn’t press him to leave.
“Baby.”
Chi Rong pinched Feng Yuan’s chubby cheek and continued chatting. “Are you going back tonight? Do you want to sleep here?”
“I have to go home.”
Feng Yuan hadn’t been home in several days. He needed to return today.
Hearing this, Chi Rong felt a bit disappointed.
“Baby, I really wanted to sleep with you.”
Chi Rong genuinely enjoyed cuddling Feng Yuan to sleep.
Feng Yuan was plump and soft, making him cozy to hold.
Sleeping with Feng Yuan always brought him deep, restful sleep.
In contrast, when he slept with Yu Ye, it was Yu Ye who held him.
Seeing Chi Rong’s desire to sleep with him, Feng Yuan set down his cup.
He threw his whole body into Chi Rong’s arms.
“Yuan Yuan can sleep with you now!”
Feng Yuan giggled, his chubby little body leaning entirely against Chi Rong.
Chi Rong caught him and laughed along.
The two, one big and one small, played noisily, but Yu Ye didn’t seem bothered by the commotion.
As they frolicked, Feng Yuan’s little body suddenly stilled.
His face pressed against Chi Rong’s stomach.
Chi Rong rubbed his little head, puzzled by his sudden stillness.
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
Chi Rong asked, still curious.
Feng Yuan sat up and directly reached out his chubby little hand to lift Chi Rong’s shirt.
Chi Rong: “!”
Chi Rong tried to stop him, but it was already too late.
He scrambled to sit up as well, attempting to pull his shirt back down.
Yu Ye, who had been glancing at them from time to time, also noticed Feng Yuan’s action.
“Yuan Yuan.”
Yu Ye immediately stood up and walked over, intending to pull Chi Rong’s shirt back down.
This little one, Feng Yuan, was surprisingly strong.
He had lifted the hem of Chi Rong’s shirt all the way up to his chest.
On Chi Rong’s abdomen and above, especially around the chest area…
There were quite a few marks left by Yu Ye.
This wasn’t suitable for a child to see.
Neither of the adults wanted the little guy to see such things.
But the little guy who had lifted the shirt wasn’t thinking too much about it.
His attention wasn’t on the marks on Chi Rong’s body at all.
He simply pressed his ear against Chi Rong’s stomach.
Chi Rong’s stomach was flat.
He looked down at the little guy’s action, completely puzzled.
“Baby, what are you doing?”
Chi Rong thought Feng Yuan’s action looked very similar to what he had done with Yu Yi before.
When Yu Yi had an egg before, Feng Yuan loved to press his ear like this.
“Baby, I don’t have an egg.”
Chi Rong spoke gently to Feng Yuan. “My stomach isn’t swollen at all.”
“I’ve been eating a lot, too.”
Chi Rong could eat and sleep well now. His stomach was just like before.
Back when Yu Yi was carrying an egg, his lower abdomen looked noticeably swollen, and his appetite had gotten worse and worse.
Chi Rong had already compared the two.
He showed no signs of carrying an egg.
For their dragon clan, having an egg was very difficult. The fact that Yu Yi had managed to lay an egg was already a miracle.
He couldn’t possibly be as lucky as Yu Yi and have an egg, too.
While Chi Rong was still explaining, Feng Yuan, with his ear pressed against his stomach, furrowed his little brows more and more tightly.
As Chi Rong spoke, he inexplicably grew nervous toward the end.
He looked up and instinctively turned to Yu Ye.
Yu Ye sat down and took one of Chi Rong’s hands.
Chi Rong wanted to say something to Yu Ye, but Yu Ye’s gaze was fixed on Feng Yuan’s little face.
Yu Ye seemed to take Feng Yuan, the egg quality inspector, quite seriously.
“Yuan Yuan.”
Yu Ye proactively asked, “What did you hear?”
Feng Yuan didn’t say anything.
Before, when he had pressed his ear against Yu Yi’s stomach, his little face had been full of joy.
But this time, the little guy’s expression was somewhat grave.
This made both Yu Ye and Chi Rong feel a bit uneasy.
Feng Yuan lay against Chi Rong’s stomach for quite a while.
Finally, he sat up straight.
“Uncle Chi Rong, Yuan Yuan will tell you a little later.”
Chi Rong: “Huh?”
Chi Rong pulled his hand back from Yu Ye’s grasp and touched his own flat stomach.
Unable to hide his nervousness, he asked, “Baby, what do you want to tell me?”
Feng Yuan shook his head and climbed down from the sofa directly.
“Yuan Yuan needs to go find Uncle Bai Ze first.”
After saying this, Feng Yuan left. As he went, he pocketed the candies from the small coffee table.
Feng Yuan’s footsteps pattered from the room out into the hallway.
Chi Rong watched his retreating little figure, his mouth slightly agape.
Yu Ye wasn’t in a hurry to close the door.
He leaned forward slightly and placed his large hand on Chi Rong’s stomach.
With both hands now resting on his stomach, Chi Rong blinked.
“Yu Ye.”
Chi Rong’s expression held a hint of confusion and a touch of anticipation.
He touched his own belly and asked Yu Ye, “What do you think Yuan Yuan meant just now?”
“Could I… could I possibly have an egg now?”
Chi Rong asked cautiously.
Yu Ye didn’t know how to respond at first.
He lowered his gaze, feeling the jade-like skin beneath his palm.
After a long pause, he replied, “Even if you don’t have them now, you will in the future.”
Yu Ye was confident he could make Chi Rong carry the eggs he desired.
It was only a matter of time.
Chi Rong had said that dragons found it difficult to carry eggs.
So, every time, Yu Ye gave him plenty…
While the two were still touching his belly, Feng Yuan outside had already run off without a trace.
“Big Dad!”
Feng Yuan called out to Li Sheng and then to Qin Xun.
Li Sheng was still at the Yu residence and hadn’t left yet.
Seeing Feng Yuan run over, Li Sheng bent down and scooped him into his arms, checking his little socks.
Luckily, the socks weren’t too cold.
Feng Yuan had a strong constitution, so his little body was always warm.
Holding him, Li Sheng asked, “Do you want to leave?”
Feng Yuan nodded, then shook his head.
He did want to leave, but not to go home.
He wanted to visit Uncle Bai Ze.
Upon learning this, Li Sheng readily agreed.
“Alright, go see Uncle Bai Ze. Big Dad has to go out now.”
Feng Qi was still in the village. Li Sheng wanted to hurry over to be with him.
Hearing that Li Sheng was leaving, Feng Yuan immediately understood, “Are you going to see Dad?”
“Yes.”
“Are you taking Yuan Yuan?”
“I can’t take you this time. You still have to go to school. Remember to go to kindergarten tomorrow.”
If it weren’t absolutely necessary, neither Li Sheng nor Feng Qi would ever choose to leave their son behind and stay busy outside all day.
They simply had no other choice.
Feng Yuan knew where his dad was and what he was busy with.
So, he wrapped his arms around Li Sheng’s neck and obediently nodded.
“Big Dad, come back soon, okay?”
“Alright, we’ll return as quickly as we can.”
Father and son pressed their cheeks together. Feng Yuan showered Li Sheng with a flurry of kisses.
After their affectionate moment, Li Sheng personally escorted Feng Yuan, Qin Xun, and Rong Rong to Qiong Qi’s place.
Bai Ze was there with Qiong Qi.
Li Sheng was leaving with Chi Shui, so Rong Rong would continue staying with Feng Yuan.
Time passed slowly.
Feng Yuan led the way into Qiong Qi’s territory.
Once inside, Rong Rong didn’t follow Feng Yuan into Qiong Qi’s den.
He was a bit afraid of Qiong Qi.
So, he stayed outside, slowly searching for the Feifei that Feng Yuan had mentioned.
Feng Yuan barged in with great energy.
As soon as he arrived, his little voice echoed loudly in front of the den.
“Uncle Qiong Qi! Uncle Bai Ze! Yuan Yuan is here!”
The commotion Feng Yuan caused was impossible to ignore.
Inside the den, Uncle Qiong Qi lazily lifted an eyelid and let out a casual roar.
He was roaring at Bai Ze, telling him to stop bothering him.
After the recent events, Bai Ze had followed him back.
As soon as they returned to the den, Bai Ze began rummaging through his things.
He was searching to see if there was a second black stone.
Qiong Qi had already told him there wasn’t. But Bai Ze kept nodding and agreeing while continuing to search relentlessly.
He turned the entire den upside down.
After finishing his search and finding no black stone, he still wouldn’t stop talking.
“Demons are no good. Don’t get involved with them anymore.”
“They’re experts at deceiving people.”
“Look, isn’t it much better staying here? You even get commendation banners from time to time.”
“Don’t you dare get mixed up with them.”
Bai Ze kept nagging endlessly, practically on the verge of making Qiong Qi swear not to side with the demons.
Just as Qiong Qi was so annoyed by Bai Ze that he covered his ears, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep, Feng Yuan finally arrived.
This was the first time Qiong Qi genuinely welcomed his arrival.
“Uncle Qiong Qi, did you miss Yuan Yuan?”
As soon as Feng Yuan arrived, he spotted Qiong Qi lying on the ground, seemingly asleep.
Like a little cannonball, he launched himself forward and landed right on top of Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi glanced at him, annoyed by the impact.
The little guy had no idea how much force he’d used.
After crashing into Qiong Qi, his chubby little hands grabbed onto Qiong Qi’s fur. He climbed right onto his back.
Perched atop Qiong Qi, the little guy looked incredibly proud.
He lifted his chin triumphantly and asked Bai Ze, who was standing nearby, “Uncle Bai Ze, is Yuan Yuan tall now?”
Bai Ze smiled warmly. “So tall.”
Qiong Qi let out a low growl, clearly impatient.
Hearing the growl, Feng Yuan patted Qiong Qi’s head with his chubby little hands and sweetly coaxed, “Uncle Qiong Qi, let Yuan Yuan ride for a little while. Yuan Yuan loves you!”
Qiong Qi: “…”
Qiong Qi couldn’t be bothered to respond to the little guy anymore.
After riding on Qiong Qi for a while, Feng Yuan’s mood improved significantly.
He slid down from Qiong Qi’s back as if it were a slide, and Bai Ze caught him.
Sitting in Bai Ze’s arms, Feng Yuan hugged him and shared the important news he’d come to deliver.
“Uncle Bai Ze, I have something big to tell you!”
“Alright, go ahead. Let’s hear what this big thing is.”
“Uncle Chi Rong is carrying a strange egg!”
“What?”
Bai Ze’s expression froze. “He’s carrying a strange egg?”
“Yes!”
Thinking about that strange egg, Feng Yuan’s little face fell again.
Lately, when Bai Ze visited the Yu family, he had only checked Eggy’s condition and hadn’t paid much attention to Chi Rong.
Now, hearing from Feng Yuan that Chi Rong was carrying a strange egg, he found it rather puzzling.
“Yuan Yuan, why do you think it’s a strange egg?”
“It just feels weird, not like Eggy.”
Feng Yuan was still young and couldn’t quite explain the specifics.
He just pleaded with Bai Ze, “Uncle Bai Ze, can you make the strange egg into a good egg?”
Feng Yuan wanted a good egg.
Bai Ze was completely baffled by his request. “I’ll go check on it later.”
“But Yuan Yuan, are you sure he has an egg?”
Feng Yuan nodded emphatically.
For some reason, this little phoenix had a much stronger sense of detecting dragon eggs than the adults.
Bai Ze needed to personally examine Chi Rong to confirm whether there was an egg, but Feng Yuan could sense it directly.
This time, however, Feng Yuan’s sensing might have been a bit off.
Bai Ze promised to check on Chi Rong and to turn the strange egg into a good egg.
Hearing his promise, Feng Yuan’s little face finally relaxed.
With the big matter settled, Feng Yuan had one more small request.
“Uncle Bai Ze, can Yuan Yuan sleep here tonight?”
“No.”
Bai Ze refused without a second thought. “You need to go home to sleep tonight.”
Feng Yuan: “!”
Feng Yuan’s little face showed shock. “Don’t you want to sleep with Yuan Yuan?!”
Sleeping with him was an opportunity even the dragon uncles fought over, yet Uncle Bai Ze didn’t seem to care at all!
Feng Yuan’s little face was utterly stunned.
He stood there in a daze, his mouth slightly agape, and asked, “Am I not a sweet little one anymore?”
All the Uncle Dragons said he was a sweet little one.
Everyone wanted to sleep with the sweet little one.
Bai Ze looked at the chubby little guy in front of him, whose expression seemed as if the sky had fallen. He couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Your dad sent me a message. He said you can’t stay here to sleep tonight.”
“You have school tomorrow, so you have to go home to sleep tonight.”
Li Sheng and Feng Qi both knew their son’s temperament all too well.
He had been playing at the hospital for several days in a row and was probably too excited to settle down.
If they tried to send him to school now, he would definitely resist.
“Alright. I’ll play with you here for a while, and then I’ll take you home.”
Bai Ze carried Feng Yuan and finally left Qiong Qi’s lair.
He was very familiar with every corner of Qiong Qi’s illusory realm.
With Feng Yuan, Qin Xun, and Rong Rong in tow, he effortlessly found the Feifei that Rong Rong hadn’t been able to locate.
Feifei tried to hide when it saw them.
Feng Yuan stretched out his chubby little hand and hugged Feifei tightly.
“Feifei, don’t run away. We can play together.”
Feifei didn’t want to play with children.
It had always been a bit wary of children.
But with Bai Ze present, and considering that Bai Ze was the boss here, Feifei had no choice but to reluctantly comply.
The group, now including Feifei, played in the illusory realm until dark.
Feng Yuan even prepared their dinner.
Bai Ze asked Qiong Qi to hunt for some food.
They lit a fire and enjoyed a delicious meal.
After dinner, Bai Ze carried Feng Yuan back to the Li family.
The little guy, full and content, fell asleep in Bai Ze’s arms before long.
He was sleeping so soundly that Qin Xun didn’t wake him.
“Uncle, let him sleep for now. I’ll wipe him down with a towel later.”
“Mm.”
While Feng Yuan slept, Qin Xun carried him to the bedroom and let him continue sleeping on the bed.
That night, Feng Yuan slept very soundly.
Meanwhile, at the Yu family’s home.
After conducting a thorough examination of Chi Rong, Bai Ze smiled and shared some good news with Chi Rong and Yu Ye.
“You have an egg, but it’s still very small and barely noticeable.”
“Based on the current situation, Chi Rong, your incubation period is likely to be longer than Yu Yi’s.”
Bai Ze spoke calmly, while Chi Rong stared at him blankly, his mind completely blank.
Bai Ze continued to explain why Chi Rong’s incubation period would be longer.
“You’re carrying twin eggs. Your body is nurturing two eggs at once, so their development will be slower compared to a single egg.”
“You need to prepare yourself mentally and not be impatient.”
After explaining about the twin eggs, Bai Ze also mentioned Feng Yuan with a smile.
“Yuan Yuan only sensed that you have an egg but didn’t realize it’s twins. He thought you were carrying a strange egg.”
“I’ll call him tomorrow to let him know.”
“He’s still worried about your egg.”
Bai Ze said so much, but Chi Rong couldn’t utter a single word in response.
It was Yu Ye who reacted first.
Yu Ye calmly thanked Bai Ze.
Then, he made a request to Bai Ze.
“Could you please keep an eye on Xiao Hong’s pregnancy from now on? I’ll pay you.”
Bai Ze raised an eyebrow. “Even if you don’t pay me, I’ll still take care of it.”
Without a doubt, these twin eggs would be Feng Yuan’s precious treasures.
If not for anyone else, for Feng Yuan alone, he would take good care of him.
After Bai Ze finished examining Chi Rong, he did not stay overnight.
He didn’t want to stay, saying he had matters to attend to, and left.
After Bai Ze departed, Yu Ye saw how late it was and decided not to disturb everyone.
He simply drew Chi Rong into his arms.
Only now could Chi Rong finally speak. Before he even opened his mouth, his eyes reddened.
“Yu Ye, I have eggs, too.”
“Mhm, we have two.”
Yu Ye raised his hand, his slightly rough thumb wiping the corner of Chi Rong’s eye. “Don’t cry. Such a happy occasion calls for smiles.”
Chi Rong felt torn between laughing and crying.
He touched his own belly, feeling it wasn’t quite real.
How could he have eggs?
And two at once.
Yu Ye leaned in closer, his handsome face approaching as he kissed Chi Rong’s eyelids.
Their faces pressed together, each other’s breaths clearly audible.
Just as Chi Rong was still sniffling, the corners of Yu Ye’s lips lifted.
He asked softly, “Others only have one egg, but you have two.”
“Tell me, am I not amazing?”
Chi Rong: “…”
Chi Rong suddenly didn’t feel like sniffling anymore.
He wanted to roll his eyes.
Chi Rong and Yu Ye kept their good news to themselves until the next morning.
He announced it during breakfast.
Upon hearing that he had two eggs at once, the elderly Yu couple dropped their chopsticks with a clatter.
Fang Fang looked at Chi Rong, then at his belly.
She was utterly petrified.
When Yu Yi had said he liked men, Fang Fang thought she would never hold a grandchild in her lifetime.
But then, miraculously, she had Eggy, her precious little grandson.
Now, before Eggy could even walk, she was getting two more grandchildren!
Heavens above!
Fang Fang felt dizzy with disbelief.
The good news from the Yu family also reached the Li family. Feng Yuan, who was still lazing in bed early in the morning, heard the news while half-asleep and dazed.
Moonlit: Congratulations, Xiao Hong!!! Yuan Yuan’s scheming just to not go to school always get me HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
