Thank you, quayA, for the ko-fi~
“Yuan Yuan, do you want to go home first or go straight to your godfather’s place?”
“To Godfather’s place!”
Feng Yuan didn’t want to go home first. He had been waiting all day to go to his godfather’s house. Now he didn’t want to wait a single second longer.
Seeing his impatient little expression, Feng Qi patted his small head.
“Your godfather isn’t going anywhere. Why are you in such a hurry?”
“I am in a hurry!”
Feng Yuan put down the incubator he was holding and asked his dad for a small mirror, preening as he looked at his reflection.
“Dad, wipe Yuan Yuan’s face.”
“Alright.”
Feng Qi took a wet wipe and gently cleaned his little face.
After his face was wiped, Feng Yuan remembered he had been active all day at kindergarten. He quickly lowered his head to sniff himself.
“Dad, does Yuan Yuan smell?”
Feng Qi sniffed and teased him on purpose: “You do.”
Feng Yuan: “!”
Hearing this, Feng Yuan immediately grew anxious: “Yuan Yuan wants to take a bath.”
Feng Qi: “…”
Feng Qi: “You can’t.”
They weren’t in a recreational vehicle but a Bentley.
Feng Yuan’s request for a bath was something Feng Qi couldn’t fulfill.
“Dad was teasing you. You don’t smell at all.”
As he spoke, Feng Qi held out Feng Yuan’s little arm to Qin Xun: “If you don’t believe me, let Xiao Xun smell.”
Qin Xun leaned in and carefully sniffed before replying, “No smell.”
If Li Sheng weren’t driving, Feng Yuan would have stretched his little hand out for his big dad to smell, too.
“Alright, let Dad take a look at your incubator.”
Feng Qi changed the subject: “What made you think of buying this?”
“For Godfather to use.”
Feng Yuan had already finished modifying the incubator he acquired.
The incubator was now covered in stickers, making it look colorful and vibrant.
Feng Yuan had also familiarized himself with all the incubator’s functions.
“Dad, do you want an egg?”
While explaining the incubator, Feng Yuan suddenly asked his dad if he wanted an egg.
Feng Qi shook his head without hesitation.
“Dad doesn’t want an egg.”
“Dad only needs Yuan Yuan.”
Hearing this answer, Feng Yuan immediately broke into a wide grin.
He didn’t want his dad to lay an egg for him either.
If there were an egg, Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Uncles and Aunts, and older cousins would surely like the egg, too.
Although Feng Yuan had high hopes for his godfather’s egg, the little one understood clearly—
Godfather’s egg wouldn’t live in their home.
But an egg laid by Dad would live at home.
The little guy didn’t want any more little phoenixes at home.
Seeing the expression on his son’s face, Feng Qi knew exactly what he was thinking.
“Don’t worry. Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma only love our Yuan Yuan.”
Feng Qi picked up the little one and kissed him.
When he had laid Feng Yuan’s egg back then, it had been a difficult process.
After the little one hatched, Feng Qi’s health was too poor to take care of him properly.
Fortunately, Wu Jin was there to care for the newly hatched chubby phoenix and ensure he grew up healthy.
Although conditions were better now and there would be someone to care for another egg if he laid one, he still didn’t want to go through it again.
In this lifetime, having Yuan Yuan was already enough.
“Dad, Yuan Yuan loves you.”
Feng Yuan puckered his lips and kissed his dad’s cheek.
Li Sheng, who was driving, listened to the father and son’s declarations of love and kisses from the back seat, regretting not having asked the driver to come instead.
“Yuan Yuan, do you love Big Dad?”
“Love!”
Feng Yuan’s confession was like a bowl of water held level. It’s perfectly balanced.
After showering his dad with affection, he turned to his big dad and, finally, glanced at Qin Xun beside him.
With impartial distribution of his kisses, he puckered his little mouth and planted one on Qin Xun’s cheek as well.
“Qin Xun, Yuan Yuan loves you, too!”
This wasn’t the first time Feng Yuan had kissed Qin Xun.
Feng Yuan, the little kissing monster, never forgot Qin Xun when sharing kisses with the family.
Qin Xun had managed to snag quite a few kisses just by being nearby.
Feng Yuan didn’t kiss children his own age or those around his size.
Qin Xun was special. He was an exception.
Amid laughter and chatter in the car, time flew by.
Li Sheng soon drove them to their destination.
The moment he stepped out of the car, he scooped Feng Yuan into his arms.
“Yuan Yuan, you owe me twelve kisses.”
Li Sheng had been counting from the front seat.
Feng Yuan, the little kissing monster, had given his dad twelve kisses along the way.
But Li Sheng, busy driving, hadn’t received a single one.
Seeing his big dad’s handsome face leaning in, Feng Yuan pushed it away with his chubby little hand.
“No kisses! Yuan Yuan wants cake!”
Finally at the entrance, all he could think about was rushing inside to find his godfather.
As for his big dad’s kisses, he twisted his little face away and perfunctorily said: “Yuan Yuan will kiss you next time!””
“Not acceptable.”
Li Sheng wouldn’t have it.
Feng Yuan wriggled in protest but couldn’t break free.
Watching the other guests file inside while he was still stuck at the entrance, Feng Yuan was nearly bursting with frustration.
In a huff, he cupped his big dad’s face.
A flurry of kisses rained down like heavy drops of rain.
With the last kiss, Feng Yuan even gave a little bite.
He left a tiny tooth mark on his big dad’s handsome face.
Once the twelve kisses were delivered, Li Sheng kept his promise and set the little guy down.
Feng Yuan, once on his feet, wiped his mouth.
Li Sheng raised an eyebrow at the sight.
After wiping his mouth, Feng Yuan didn’t wait for his dad. Clutching the incubator, he dashed forward with Qin Xun.
He ran so fast that he would have stumbled if not for Qin Xun keeping pace beside him.
The birthday banquet was well-attended, with guests entering by invitation.
Feng Yuan had no invitation.
He relied entirely on face recognition.
Behind the greeters at the entrance stood a security guard.
And this guard was none other than the dragon working a side job.
The red dragon’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Feng Yuan.
He instinctively took a step forward.
Feng Yuan spotted him, too: “Uncle!”
Seeing the adorable cub greet him, the red dragon’s heart melted, though he kept his expression professional.
“Baby, go on inside. There’s a big cake in there. Uncle is working and can’t chat right now.”
Reluctantly, the red dragon gave up the chance to snuggle with the cub and stayed at his post.
Hearing he was working, Feng Yuan nodded earnestly.
“Work hard!”
Waving his little hand, Feng Yuan said goodbye to Uncle Red Dragon and hurried into the banquet hall to find his godfather.
Yu Yi wasn’t in the banquet hall at the moment.
He had grown tired from standing earlier and had retreated to the lounge to rest.
Wu Jin stayed by his side, massaging his calves.
Lately, Yu Yi’s calves had been aching frequently.
Wu Jin suspected Yu Yi was overexerting himself and had been keeping a close watch, urging him to walk less.
But Yu Yi wouldn’t listen.
“I’m growing taller. This is just growing pains.”
Yu Yi had his own explanation for the ache in his legs.
He wasn’t as tall as Wu Jin, so he’d always wanted to grow taller.
Wu Jin didn’t believe in growing pains.
He lowered his head and continued massaging Yu Yi’s calf.
“You’ve been busy ever since you came back. Can’t you take a break?”
Yu Yi hadn’t stopped since returning from the sea.
Wu Jin felt like he never properly rested.
“I’d love to rest, but you don’t let me rest at night either, do you?”
There was no one else in the break room, so Yu Yi spoke without restraint.
He rolled his eyes at Wu Jin without holding back.
“If I’d known you’d turn out like this after transforming into a dragon, I never should’ve suggested it.”
Yu Yi regretted it to death.
Wu Jin had already been hard to handle before. But now that he’d become a dragon, this guy had completely lost his mind.
Even when Yu Yi slapped him, Yu Yi was afraid Wu Jin would lick his hand.
“Wu Jin, I feel like you’re fooling me. Those dragons who came to work as security today all seemed so innocent and restrained.”
“Why are you the only one like this?”
When Yu Yi chatted with those dragons and asked about their partners, these single dragons would even blush, looking utterly pure.
All those dragons appeared so chaste, while his own dragon, though he looked innocent, was nothing but a downright big yellow dragon at night, not a big black one.
Sometimes, when Yu Yi really couldn’t take it anymore, he’d hit him while scolding him fiercely.
The scolded Wu Jin would look at him with tearful, reddened eyes, saying that this was just a dragon’s nature.
Yu Yi knew there was a term to describe a dragon’s character.
But he still wanted to curse at dragons.
Even if this was a dragon’s nature, why did Wu Jin always use his true form with him?!
This was too perverted!
Hearing Yu Yi start cursing again, Wu Jin continued massaging his legs while muttering in a small voice, “Xiao Yi, you clearly like it, too.”
If Yu Yi didn’t like it, he wouldn’t dare force him.
“Shut up!”
The moment Wu Jin finished speaking, he was cursed at again.
He didn’t get angry at being scolded. He was used to it by now.
After Yu Yi had cursed for a while, he even went to pour some water.
“Have some water before you continue scolding, or your mouth will get dry.”
Yu Yi: “…”
Yu Yi really had no temper left for him.
Whoever created Wu Jin must have designed him specifically to be his natural counter.
“Come here.”
After finishing his scolding, Yu Yi looked at the dragon’s constantly chastised expression and couldn’t help softening again.
He reached out, pulled the dragon’s head closer, and leaned in to kiss him.
As they kissed, their breathing grew ragged.
Just as Yu Yi’s hand began wandering, the break room door was suddenly pushed open.
Yu Yi instantly shoved Wu Jin away.
He sat up straight, opening his mouth to curse.
But before the curses could leave his lips, a chubby little child came rushing in.
“Godfather, Yuan Yuan is here!”
The little one who’d burst in recklessly dashed straight toward the sofa.
He probably hadn’t seen what happened earlier.
When Yu Yi saw him, his anger instantly transformed into delight.
“Oh, Yuan Yuan’s here!”
Yu Yi opened his arms and caught the rushing child in a hug.
He lifted the child onto his lap and kissed him.
“Yuan Yuan arrived earlier than I expected. Did you come right after school?”
“Yeah! Yuan Yuan wanted to see Godfather sooner!”
Feng Yuan had a sweet way with words.
With just a few phrases, he had Yu Yi beaming with joy.
The big one and the little one snuggled together on the sofa.
Wu Jin watched without any jealousy.
Feng Yuan was the one whom Wu Jin had painstakingly raised from infancy.
In Wu Jin’s heart, there were only two people who mattered the most at the moment.
One was Yu Yi, and the other was Feng Yuan.
“Godfather, Yuan Yuan brought you a gift.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“An egg incubator!”
Feng Yuan showed Yu Yi the incubator that Qin Xun was holding.
Yu Yi: “…”
Yu Yi stared at the incubator, his lips twitching slightly.
Although Wu Jin had mentioned that they would have eggs someday, Yu Yi still didn’t believe it was possible.
He had spoken with the dragons. Nowadays, giving birth to a dragon egg is harder than reaching the heavens.
One of the main reasons why ancient mythical beasts were gradually disappearing was because their reproduction had been so slow.
They could no longer produce offspring.
The same went for dragons.
After hearing their words, Yu Yi held even less hope for laying a dragon egg himself.
The incubator Feng Yuan had gifted him now was completely useless.
“Godfather, let Yuan Yuan touch your belly.”
After showing off the incubator, Feng Yuan wanted to feel Yu Yi’s stomach.
Yu Yi looked at him with amusement. “Godfather doesn’t have any eggs in his belly.”
Feng Yuan knew that his godfather wanted a baby with Wu Jin.
He reached out his little hand and lifted Yu Yi’s shirt himself.
Yu Yi: “!”
Yu Yi: “Wait—”
Yu Yi instinctively tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Feng Yuan had already seen his stomach.
And on his stomach, there were still a few faint red marks that hadn’t faded.
“Godfather, bugs bit your belly!”
Feng Yuan had indeed noticed the marks. The little one frowned, looking upset. “Tell Wu Jin to get rid of the bugs for you!”
Feng Yuan was also prone to mosquito and insect bites during the summer.
The adults around him were always careful about this and would shoo away any bugs for him.
“Ahem, I’ll ask him to get rid of the bugs next time.”
Yu Yi mumbled vaguely and tried to pull his shirt back down.
But the next moment, Feng Yuan had already pressed his little face against it.
His small ear was also pressed against Yu Yi’s stomach.
Yu Yi could feel the softness of the little guy’s cheek pressed against his belly. It was a strangely pleasant sensation.
He paused for a moment, letting Feng Yuan continue to press against him.
The little guy was very serious about it.
“Yuan Yuan, what are you doing?”
“Yuan Yuan is listening to see if the egg is behaving.”
Feng Yuan finally lifted his little face as he spoke.
Yu Yi smiled, wanting to pinch his cheek.
But before he could, Feng Yuan leaned in and kissed his stomach again.
“Yuan Yuan is kissing the egg.”
Feng Yuan explained earnestly, “Yuan Yuan likes the egg.”
The egg was Godfather’s egg. It wouldn’t live with Yuan Yuan, but they could play together, and it would fulfill Yuan Yuan’s wish to be an older brother.
It was practically the egg of his dreams!
Feng Yuan’s kiss on the belly and his confession to the egg made Yu Yi laugh uncontrollably.
“Alright, alright. No more talking to the egg. Let’s go play outside.”
Yu Yi didn’t bother explaining again that he didn’t have an egg yet.
He figured a child’s mind was always full of whims. Sooner or later, the little guy would understand on his own.
“Yuan Yuan, have you seen the cake Godfather ordered? It’s chocolate flavored.”
Yu Yi sat up from the sofa, straightened his clothes a bit, and then picked up Feng Yuan, carrying him outside.
At today’s party, Little Deer and Tao Zhi had also come.
When Little Deer received the invitation, he was quite surprised.
Although he had some interactions with Yu Yi, the two hadn’t developed any real friendship.
He was well aware of Yu Yi’s status.
So when Yu Yi didn’t contact him, he never took the initiative to reach out either.
This time, when he unexpectedly received Yu Yi’s invitation, he carefully considered what birthday gift to give him.
The amount Yu Yi had tipped during his livestreams was no small sum.
Little Deer was genuinely grateful.
He wanted to thoughtfully select a meaningful gift for Yu Yi.
To choose the perfect gift, Little Deer specifically consulted Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan said he planned to give an egg incubator.
Feng Yuan also suggested, “You could focus on eggs for the gift!”
Little Deer was completely confused about “eggs”.
Just when he was at a loss, Tao Zhi gestured to show him the size of an egg.
“Aren’t you good at making clothes? You could make some for eggs.”
While talking about eggs, Tao Zhi also swallowed saliva.
Eggs were delicious, too.
Based on the size Tao Zhi indicated, Little Deer actually made several tiny outfits.
He had plenty of fabrics in various materials on hand.
He ended up making a dozen handmade little clothes for eggs.
When he came today, he brought all these tiny outfits with him.
“Godfather, where are Grandpa and Grandma?”
“I saw them just a moment ago. They’re probably chatting with your grandma and grandpa.”
Yu Yi chatted with the child in his arms while walking.
As he talked, his gaze drifted toward the entrance again.
Feng Yuan noticed his look and asked curiously, “Godfather, what are you looking at?”
“Hmm, seeing if someone will come.”
The “someone” Yu Yi referred to was his own elder brother.
The Yu family parents were retired and leisurely, and Yu Yi had only been busy recently. Before this, he had been mostly playing around without doing much work.
The vast family business needed someone to take over.
And that person was Yu Yi’s elder brother.
Yu Yi’s brother rarely made public appearances.
Yu Yi wasn’t sure if he would come today.
In the Yu family, not only were the elderly couple somewhat afraid of their eldest son, but Yu Yi himself was a bit intimidated, too.
His brother’s demeanor was rather intimidating.
“Probably not coming,” Yu Yi murmured.
He hadn’t even sent an invitation to his brother.
Even if his brother wanted to come today, without prior notice, he definitely couldn’t get in.
After all, the dragons here—no, the security guards—only recognized invitations, not people.
Feng Yuan was an exception.
Feng Yuan could charm the security guards with his cute face.
His brother’s stern face probably wouldn’t work.
“Look, there are other children here today. Yuan Yuan, why don’t you go play with them?”
While carrying Feng Yuan around, Yu Yi’s eyes fell on some children who had come with their parents.
There were quite a few children today, several of them.
Yu Yi’s birthday party had a play area prepared specifically for children.
This play area was originally built for Feng Yuan. But now, other children can play there, too.
Feng Yuan loved the hustle and bustle the most. He would get bored playing alone.
“There’s Le Le! Le Le is here!”
Feng Yuan excitedly spotted Xu Jiale among the children.
In his kindergarten class, he got along best with Xu Jiale.
Seeing Xu Jiale there, Feng Yuan immediately stopped clinging to his godfather.
He asked his godfather to put him down so he could run and play with Xu Jiale.
He ran a couple of steps, then suddenly stopped his chubby little feet and turned back.
“Godfather, wait for Yuan Yuan to eat the chocolate cake together!”
The little guy, still thinking about the cake, was worried the adults might eat it while he was away.
The cake was too sweet. The adults never let him have too much.
Same with chocolate, ice cream, candies—so many things the adults always rationed.
At home, Feng Yuan could never eat his fill of these treats.
Fortunately, he could indulge outside!
The kids at kindergarten knew he loved these snacks and would bring some from home for him.
Especially Xu Jiale, who brought him lots and lots of chocolate.
The chocolate Xu Jiale brought was extra sugary, too.
Feng Yuan didn’t like bitter chocolate.
As for all the sweets Feng Yuan enjoyed outside, not even his family knew much about it, let alone Qin Xun.
Moonlit: Hmm… With Yuan Yuan’s behaviour when he said he’s checking the egg in Yu Yi’s belly… I think Yu Yi really has an egg in his belly 😀

Is this the foreshadowing of an egg? And Yuan Yuan’s upcoming tooth decay😝😝🫢
