Thank you, quayA, for the ko-fi~
“Got it. Go play now.”
Yu Yi stood behind Feng Yuan, smiling with curved eyes as he waved at him.
Seeing that his godfather had agreed, the little guy felt reassured and continued charging forward eagerly.
Soon, he dashed into the group of children.
As he arrived, he saw other kids pushing Xu Jiale.
Even when knocked down, Xu Jiale didn’t resist, still looking like a little pushover.
Feng Yuan’s small face immediately darkened at the sight.
He glanced at the child who had pushed Xu Jiale. It wasn’t anyone from their Little Sun Kindergarten.
No wonder they were so arrogant!
At Little Sun Kindergarten, no one dared to bully Xu Jiale anymore.
“Le Le, stand up.”
Feng Yuan, with a stern expression, spoke from behind Xu Jiale.
Hearing his voice, Xu Jiale quickly turned to look.
At that moment, Xu Jiale’s previously pitiful face instantly lit up with joy.
“Yuan Yuan!”
Xu Jiale scrambled up from the ground, happily reaching out to hold Feng Yuan’s hand.
Feng Yuan didn’t let him.
With a serious expression, Feng Yuan took on the role of a little judge: “Why did he push you just now?”
“He said it was an accident.”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan grew even angrier: “Do you think it was an accident?”
Feng Yuan had seen it clearly. Xu Jiale had been pushed down on purpose!
Xu Jiale hung his head and fell silent.
Although Feng Yuan always protected him, Xu Jiale had been bullied by other kids for so long that he was used to it. His timid personality was hard to shake off in a short time.
Seeing him like this, Feng Yuan immediately put his hands on his chubby waist.
“Go, push him. Push him down.”
Xu Jiale: “Huh?”
Xu Jiale’s face turned panicked: “Really push him? He’s my brother. I can’t push him.”
Feng Yuan: “What brother? Where did you get a brother?”
Feng Yuan knew Xu Jiale’s background quite well.
Xu Jiale was an only child and had no brothers.
Xu Jiale whispered, “He’s my aunt’s son. He’s a year older than me.”
This time, the Xu family had received an invitation. Xu Jiale insisted on coming to the party after hearing there would be a big cake.
His aunt, knowing he was going, asked him to bring his “brother” along.
Xu Jiale hadn’t wanted to bring him, but he was too scared to refuse.
His parents had been acting strangely for a long time lately.
Xu Jiale had been staying with his aunt a lot recently and didn’t dare to upset her.
“Push him.”
Feng Yuan insisted: “Push him down.”
Under Feng Yuan’s command, Xu Jiale gritted his teeth and mustered all his courage.
He charged forward fiercely, knocking Yao Kang, who had just pushed him, to the ground.
A moment earlier, Yao Kang had been smug, thinking Xu Jiale was too timid to push him back.
But the next second, he landed hard on his bottom.
“How dare you push me!”
Yao Kang, used to being domineering, raised his little fist to hit Xu Jiale when he saw the usually meek boy fighting back.
Seeing this, Feng Yuan promptly sat right on top of him.
“Le Le, hit him!”
“Okay!”
The two little ones teamed up, swinging their small fists and giving Yao Kang a beating.
At first, Xu Jiale was hesitant to hit back. But as he kept going, he grew bolder.
“Take that for always hitting me!”
“And for stealing my snacks!”
“And for insulting me!”
Xu Jiale, who had been bullied for so long, was the one doing the hitting. But as he fought, his own tears began to fall.
He had been having a tough time lately.
The children’s fight quickly drew the attention of the adults.
Qin Xun acted like a little bodyguard, constantly shielding Feng Yuan.
But his small frame couldn’t offer much protection.
“Hey, why are they still fighting? Where are the security guards? Why aren’t they stepping in?”
Security guards were stationed in several corners of the venue.
Their duties included ensuring the safety of the guests and protecting the children.
The silver dragon, who was on duty nearby, only came out reluctantly after being called.
He had noticed the children fighting earlier.
Since his cub was clearly winning, he hadn’t intervened.
Had his cub been the one pinned to the ground, he would have rushed over instantly.
When the security guard was summoned, his handsome face left the guest momentarily stunned.
“You… you’re the security guard?”
“Yes, that’s me.”
The silver dragon straightened his posture, allowing the guest to see his uniform clearly.
It was a very ordinary security uniform, the kind that wouldn’t look the least bit handsome on an old man. But this unremarkable outfit, when worn by the guard in front of her, was so stunning it was hard to look away.
“Why aren’t you stopping the children?”
The guest, who had spoken sharply moments ago, unconsciously softened his tone.
“Children don’t know their own strength. If someone gets hurt, it would be quite embarrassing in a setting like this.”
The guest recognized Xu Jiale and Yao Kang, the boy being beaten.
He spoke to the guard with earnest concern, “The child who’s getting beaten up, his parents spoil him terribly. If you don’t intervene, his family will come after you.”
Yao Kang’s mother, who was also Xu Jiale’s aunt, was notoriously overprotective.
The silver dragon nodded in acknowledgment of the guest’s well-meaning advice.
But though he nodded, he made no move to step forward.
Only when Feng Yuan and Xu Jiale stopped fighting did he casually stroll over to check on the situation.
And he wasn’t there to check on Yao Kang. He just wanted to take a moment to see how his cub was doing.
“Baby, does your hand hurt?”
“No, it doesn’t.”
Feng Yuan climbed off Yao Kang and held up his little fist for Uncle Silver Dragon to inspect.
The silver dragon gently touched the small fist and whispered, “Baby, Uncle is getting paid today. When I get my wages later, I’ll buy you some chocolate.”
“Yay!”
Feng Yuan happily hugged Uncle Silver Dragon’s leg and even wanted to kiss him.
But the silver dragon reluctantly declined, “Uncle is still on duty right now. You can kiss me after work.”
“Okay.”
Feng Yuan obediently let go, allowing the silver dragon to return to his duties.
After making a round through the play area, the silver dragon went back out and resumed his previous security post.
The guest who had been watching from a distance looked on with a complicated expression. Not only had the guard failed to comfort the victim, but he had even hugged the aggressor.
“Forget it.”
The guest decided not to meddle further and turned to mingle with others.
But after a few steps, curiosity got the better of him, and he turned back.
Approaching the security guard, he couldn’t resist asking, “Can we exchange contact information?”
The silver dragon replied firmly, “No.”
He eyed the guest warily, “I’m not easily fooled!”
Ever since the group of dragons arrived in human society, aside from watching plenty of TV dramas, Feng Qi had made them watch legal programs and various anti-fraud skits daily.
Feng Qi was deeply concerned that these dragons might be deceived.
Having seen too many cases of scams, the dragons had become somewhat hyper-vigilant.
They never casually added anyone on WeChat.
Like this guest before them, whom they neither knew nor had any interaction with, there was simply no need to exchange contact information.
The dragon’s vigilance made the guest in front of him leave in disappointment.
Similar scenes occurred in several places today.
Dressed in security uniforms, the dragons stood in place, as handsome as a celebrity.
The guests at the banquet were all either wealthy or of noble status.
Given their status, they had likely seen many attractive faces.
Yet, they were still captivated by the dragons.
Many directly extended new job offers to them.
However, the content of these job offers was rather inappropriate.
Upon hearing the guests bluntly ask them to sleep with them, the dragons were so frightened that they were taken aback.
In the end, the dragons called for Yu Yi.
Yu Yi and Wu Jin listened to their complaints and were equally stunned.
“Ahem. Don’t be afraid. Wu Jin and I are here. We won’t let them succeed.”
“Just focus on your duties and ignore them.”
“If anyone forces you, call me right in front of them. Or you can call Li Sheng, too.”
With Yu Yi and Li Sheng’s authority backing them, the dragons were able to continue their work with confidence.
The banquet was extremely lively.
Yu Yi, being naturally generous, had also invited some celebrities to the event.
The celebrities sang songs and chatted with the guests, making both sides happy.
In addition to the entertainment, the food at the banquet was also of the highest quality.
Yu Yi had spared no expense for this birthday celebration.
As the banquet reached its peak, Yu Yi took Wu Jin’s hand and walked onto the stage.
He began with a few polite remarks.
Then, he got straight to the point, smiling as he said, “On this joyous occasion, I have another happy announcement to make.”
“The person beside me, Wu Jin, and I are about to get engaged.”
As soon as Yu Yi made this announcement, the room fell silent for a few seconds.
The guests looked at Yu Yi, then at Wu Jin standing next to him.
They all widened their eyes in disbelief.
No matter how they looked at it, Wu Jin appeared to be a man!
Yu Yi was going to get engaged to a man!
“Sigh.”
Watching their youngest son make this announcement on stage, Yu Lian and Fang Fang below let out a sigh.
The couple had no other options.
In their hearts, they wanted their son to follow the traditional path of getting married and having children.
But their youngest son wouldn’t listen. No matter how much they insisted, it was useless.
Now, seeing the guests’ strange looks, Fang Fang felt even more stifled.
“Yu Lian, are they discriminating against Xiao Yi?”
“Probably.”
Hearing Yu Lian’s response, Fang Fang felt more than just stifled.
She was also a bit displeased.
Her youngest son had been pampered and cherished while growing up.
Although their family had opposed his choices, they had never discriminated against him. How dare these people look down on her son?
Whether in terms of wealth or anything else, none of them could compare to her Xiao Yi.
They had no right to mock him.
The more Fang Fang thought about it, the more upset she became. A few seconds later, she strode directly onto the stage.
Some sharp-eyed guests noticed her ascent and excitedly whispered to those beside them.
“Look, Mrs. Yu is going up!”
“I heard Mrs. Yu has been arranging countless blind dates for her younger son. But after all that matchmaking, he ended up with a man. Mrs. Yu must be furious.”
“Are the two of them about to have a public disagreement?”
No matter how distinguished one’s status, everyone has a heart for gossip.
For a moment, the guests below the stage turned their bright, curious eyes toward the platform, eagerly anticipating a dramatic scene.
Unfortunately, their expectations were not met.
Mrs. Yu stepped onto the stage and positioned herself between Yu Yi and Wu Jin, holding one of their hands in each of hers.
“Wu Jin is a sincere and honest young man. I’m completely at ease knowing he’s with our Xiao Yi.”
“From now on, Wu Jin is a member of the Yu family.”
Fang Fang publicly acknowledged Wu Jin’s status.
Wu Jin gripped her hand in return, his eyes slightly reddened.
“Mom, I’ll treat Xiao Yi well.”
Fang Fang: “…”
By now, Fang Fang had grown accustomed to him calling her Mom.
When she first heard him calling her Mom, she had responded with sarcasm. But Wu Jin hadn’t picked up on her tone.
Now, she had fully accepted it.
“Xiao Yi will treat you well, too. What matters most is that the two of you live happily together from now on.”
Fang Fang didn’t linger on stage for long. Her appearance was meant to convey the Yu family’s stance to the public.
With that message delivered, she stepped down.
Yu Yi watched his mother descend, then squeezed Wu Jin’s hand and proceeded to the next step—
Cutting the cake.
“Where’s Yuan Yuan?”
Feng Yuan was indispensable for the cake-cutting ceremony.
A group of children was called over. Among them, Feng Yuan had once again assumed the role of leader.
He had fiercely beaten Yao Kang earlier. The other children had watched from the sidelines.
One child timidly told him, “Since you hit Yao Kang, you can’t hit us.”
Feng Yuan nodded cheerfully. “I’ll only hit him, not any of you.”
Although Feng Yuan promised not to hit anyone else, the other children were still a bit afraid of him.
When Feng Yuan invited them to play, none of the children dared to refuse.
However, after playing together for a while, the children grew more familiar with each other and gradually lost their fear of Feng Yuan.
The group of excited children ran over, their cheeks flushed with joy.
Yu Yi bent down and scooped Feng Yuan into his arms. He wiped the sweat from Feng Yuan’s forehead. Together, the pair cut the cake.
Most adults weren’t particularly interested in something as sweet as cake, but the children loved it.
Yu Yi cut large slices for each of the children.
The kids took their cake and carried it over to the small sofas, where they could eat while leaning on the coffee table in front.
“So sweet,” Xu Jiale said after taking a bite. “It’s delicious!”
Feng Yuan was also very pleased with the flavor.
Qin Xun couldn’t handle overly sweet things. After just two bites, he set his slice aside.
Feng Yuan finished his own piece and then pulled Qin Xun’s slice over to eat as well.
He ended up with a stomach full of sweet cake.
Worried he might feel overwhelmed by the richness, Qin Xun brought him some water to drink.
The children lounged on the small sofas, excluding Yao Kang.
“Yuan Yuan,” one of the children who had grown close to Feng Yuan suddenly said, “You and Le Le beat up Kang Kang. When he gets home, he’s going to tell on you.”
“Le Le is going to be in trouble then.”
Reminded of this, Xu Jiale’s little face showed a hint of fear.
“My aunt will scold me. She’ll probably refuse to give me food again.”
When Xu Jiale first started kindergarten, he was still a bit chubby.
Now, all that baby fat on his body was gone.
Seeing Xu Jiale’s fear, Feng Yuan raised his chin slightly. He already had a plan in mind.
“Tomorrow, I’ll go home with you.”
“Not to your aunt’s house.”
Feng Yuan decided that before Kang Kang could tattle, he would take Xu Jiale back to the Xu family to complain: “If your parents don’t do anything about it, we’ll go to your grandparents, and even your maternal grandparents.”
At this point, Feng Yuan paused and asked him:
“Do your grandparents and maternal grandparents like you?”
“My grandparents like me, but my maternal grandparents like Kang Kang.”
Kang Kang always behaved exceptionally well in front of his maternal grandparents.
Because Xu Jiale was often bullied, his personality had become a bit timid.
His maternal grandparents preferred Kang Kang, who was outgoing and sweet-talking.
“Then we can go straight to your grandparents.”
Feng Yuan made the decision directly: “Let your grandparents take care of you.”
Xu Jiale’s parents always left him in his aunt’s care.
Since his parents weren’t doing anything, they could call his grandparents over.
“My grandparents live in the countryside. My aunt says they prefer staying there and don’t like coming to the city.”
Xu Jiale also wanted his grandparents to take care of him.
But he didn’t want to trouble them.
“Don’t listen to your aunt.”
Feng Yuan didn’t like Xu Jiale’s aunt at all.
He had seen other people’s aunts. They were all so nice.
Xu Jiale’s aunt was a bit mean.
Some of the children were going home with the adults today, while others didn’t have to go back.
Evening activities were arranged here as well.
Of course, the evening activities were all appropriate.
Feng Yuan and Qin Xun were among those not going back.
Not only was Feng Yuan staying, but he also told Xu Jiale not to go back either.
They could stay here together and go to school together tomorrow.
“But I didn’t bring any clothes.”
Xu Jiale really didn’t want to leave. If he went home, he would have to see his aunt. He was afraid of being punished.
Feng Yuan patted his shoulder and said, “You can wear my clothes.”
Feng Yuan never lacked clothes at Yu Yi’s place.
Moreover, when they came, his dad had packed two extra sets of clothes for both him and Qin Xun.
“Yuan Yuan, thank you. You’re so kind.”
Xu Jiale looked at Feng Yuan with a grateful expression on his little face. Just as he was about to say more, Qin Xun brought over several bottles of drinks, handing one to him and the others to the rest of the children.
Feng Yuan didn’t get one.
“You’ve already eaten a lot of cake. Drinking soda now would be too heavy.”
Qin Xun didn’t let Feng Yuan drink. But Feng Yuan waved his little hands, pleading with Qin Xun.
“Let Yuan Yuan have a little.”
“Yuan Yuan wants to drink.”
Feng Yuan’s pleading was too much for Qin Xun to resist, so he poured him a small cup.
Once the group of children had eaten and drunk their fill, they went off to play again.
The scene was lively and bustling. The laughter of the children and the conversations of the guests made everything seem harmonious.
Meanwhile.
A tall man appeared at the entrance.
The man didn’t have an invitation and hadn’t called anyone.
He simply tried to walk right in.
The red dragon had been standing at the door for a while and was starting to feel a bit bored.
The red dragon was actually hoping someone would give him something to do.
Seeing someone trying to force their way in, the red dragon’s eyes lit up. He eagerly stepped in front of the man.
“No invitation, no entry!”
The red dragon’s obstruction made the man narrow his eyes.
The next second.
The man handed over a business card.
The red dragon had been handed a stack of business cards all evening. None of the people offering them had any decent intentions.
They wanted the dragon to sleep with them!
How utterly filthy!
Feeling a reflexive aversion to the cards, the dragon didn’t hesitate to slap the man’s hand with a sharp smack.
The business card fell from the man’s grip.
Straightening up, the red dragon snorted, “I don’t want this.”
“I only work. I don’t sell myself!”
After knocking the card away, the dragon noticed the man’s expression darken noticeably.
He was all too familiar with that look!
Others who’d offered him cards before had also turned resentful when rejected!
But the experienced Red Dragon wasn’t the least bit flustered.
He pulled out the phone that Li Sheng had bought for all the dragons and declared to the man, “If you keep bothering me, I’m calling Yu Yi.”
“He’ll teach you a lesson!”
