Thank you, quayA, for the ko-fi~
Feng Yuan knew how to change his own clothes. He took off his little pajamas and grabbed the new clothes he was going to wear for going out from the head of the bed.
After putting on his clothes and shoes, the little guy didn’t brush his teeth or wash his face. He just ran straight next door.
The door to the neighboring house was closed.
He moved a few bricks, stacked them against the wall, and then stepped on them with his chubby feet to push open the window.
There was something wrong with the window at Bo Han’s place. It could be opened from the outside.
But even if it was pushed open, there was still a protective screen inside, so no one could get in.
Feng Yuan pushed the window open a crack and poked his little head in.
“Rong Rong—”
Just as Feng Yuan called out, the demon beneath Rong Rong’s small body discovered him.
The demon turned its head, its gaze meeting his.
Feng Yuan reflexively slapped a hand over his mouth.
Through the window.
The big one and the little one stared at each other.
Feng Yuan’s gaze shifted back to Rong Rong.
His little head was filled with shock.
It had only been half a day, how did Rong Rong get so close to this uncle!
Did Rong Rong like this stepdad?
Feng Yuan couldn’t figure it out. He stared at Rong Rong, desperately wanting to call him out to play.
It was hard to say whether Feng Yuan’s stare was too intense or if Rong Rong had simply had enough sleep.
Just as Feng Yuan was still clinging to the windowsill, Rong Rong’s little face twitched.
With his eyes still closed, he reached his little hands upward.
He touched the demon’s face.
Bo Han loved to kiss Rong Rong and was also keen on having Rong Rong kiss him.
Rong Rong didn’t use to kiss his dad much.
But ever since he started playing with Feng Yuan, he had learned to kiss his dad, too.
Like when he woke up in the morning, Rong Rong would now habitually kiss his dad without any prompting or requests.
That was exactly what he was doing right now.
From the windowsill, Feng Yuan watched with wide eyes as Rong Rong grabbed the demon’s face.
And then, gave it a kiss.
Feng Yuan was so shocked his chubby legs trembled.
The next second.
The stacked bricks finally gave way under the chubby cub’s weight.
Crash.
The pile of bricks collapsed. Feng Yuan’s small body took a hard fall.
He let out a heavy “Ouch!”. His chubby face scrunched up like a bitter melon.
The commotion he made instantly woke up the still-drowsy Rong Rong.
Rong Rong opened his eyes. He was about to look at the dad in front of him, but what he saw was last night’s strange uncle.
The strange uncle was looking at him.
Rong Rong froze instantly.
The thought that he had apparently slept with this uncle, and even kissed this uncle…
He felt like his whole being was out of sorts.
“Dad, Daddy.”
Startled, Rong Rong called for his dad.
Bo Han could hear his son calling for him.
He rolled over, following the sound.
“Rong Rong, why are you awake? It’s still early. Let’s sleep a little longer.”
Bo Han hadn’t slept well and wanted to hold his son and sleep some more.
But his son didn’t want to sleep anymore.
After hearing his son call for him again, Bo Han forced his eyes open, fighting off the sleepiness.
When he opened his eyes, the demon that Rong Rong had been sleeping on had already vanished.
Bo Han lifted Rong Rong onto his own body.
“Good Rong Rong, let Daddy sleep a bit more.”
Bo Han’s biological clock was not great. Coming to record this show and waking up just after seven every day was sheer torture for him.
Previously, when he and Rong Rong were at home, they had a nanny.
After Rong Rong woke up around seven or eight, the nanny would take him to be fed.
After eating, the little guy would obediently play with his toys by himself.
Bo Han would sleep until after ten, then wash up and come over to play with his son.
Only then would the father and son’s day officially begin.
“Daddy.”
Nestled in his father’s arms, Rong Rong wanted to talk about what just happened. But from under the window, Feng Yuan’s milky voice rang out.
“Rong Rong, open the door! I’m here to find you.”
Feng Yuan, still on the ground from his fall, was already summoning Rong Rong.
The summoned Rong Rong immediately forgot about tattling.
He sat up, wanting to go down and find Feng Yuan.
Bo Han, with his eyes half-open, pulled some clothes onto Rong Rong and then set him down.
“Rong Rong, you go play with Yuan Yuan for a while. Daddy’s going to sleep for another half hour.”
After getting his son ready, Bo Han fell right back to sleep.
He was truly too tired!
Once his dad had dressed him, Rong Rong found Feng Yuan under the window.
Feng Yuan had scraped his little arm a bit.
He held up his arm to show Rong Rong.
Rong Rong’s eyes widened.
“Owie.”
As Rong Rong spoke, he reached out and took Feng Yuan’s hand.
He led Feng Yuan by the hand and applied some medicine from his dad’s first-aid kit.
Bo Han’s medicine was very effective.
The pain was gone as soon as Feng Yuan applied it.
Rong Rong gave him the entire bottle of medicine.
Since he stopped going to kindergarten, Rong Rong rarely got injured.
The medicines in the first-aid kit meant for him were hardly ever used now.
But Feng Yuan needed these medicines very much.
Rong Rong had seen for himself that Feng Yuan often got scrapes and scratches.
“Rong Rong, thank you.”
Feng Yuan accepted the gift.
Little children don’t understand the concept of polite refusal.
When they give gifts, they don’t overthink it like adults do.
After applying the medicine, the two little ones left the room.
They went outside hand in hand to find the other children to play with.
On the way.
Feng Yuan asked Rong Rong, “Rong Rong, have you accepted that stepdad?”
Rong Rong: “…”
Rong Rong shook his head.
He wasn’t familiar with this “stepdad” yet.
He was a little scared of the “stepdad.”
Feng Yuan could see Rong Rong’s fear.
It seemed the brainwashing he did last night was no longer effective today.
To ensure Rong Rong would be loved by two dads and have a warm, loving family, Feng Yuan clenched his little fists and began to brainwash Rong Rong once more.
“Your stepdad is already living with you. From now on, you’ll see each other every day.”
“Rong Rong, you can’t be scared!”
“He’s going to be your stepdad. He’ll love you.”
“You can love him a little, too!”
Feng Yuan tirelessly began a new round of brainwashing for Rong Rong.
They had the entire day off from filming.
Feng Qi had only asked the director for half a day off. But the director, wanting to give them a break, simply called off filming for the whole day.
The director had a pile of things to do with this free day.
The pilot episode they released online had already gone viral.
Countless interview requests and invitations from other variety shows were flying in like snowflakes.
The director had to deal with all of this, as well as plan the content for the next few days.
He was swamped.
While the adults were busy, Feng Yuan, while giving Rong Rong tips on how to get along with his stepdad, gathered all the other children.
They were going to play together.
And even while playing, Feng Yuan, a natural-born internet celebrity, didn’t forget to ask Director Li for a selfie stick and a phone.
They were going to film themselves.
Children never tire of their games.
One moment they were playing with mud, the next they were playing hide-and-seek. A little while later, they were mimicking the villagers catching swamp eels in the fields, wanting to catch some themselves.
Feng Yuan had overheard a bit.
The adults catching eels said they were very nutritious and good for one’s health.
The eels caught in the fields were wild.
If sold at the market, they could fetch a high price!
Feng Yuan didn’t want to sell the eels.
He wanted to catch them and bring them back for his dad to cook.
“Let’s catch a lot, so everyone can have some.”
Feng Yuan called over the other cubs. Together, they started looking for eel holes.
The selfie stick they brought was set up on the ground.
Feng Yuan glanced at the camera and was relieved to see that it could capture all of them.
Feng Yuan wasn’t recording a video.
He was live streaming on the official account of 《Baby’s Journey》.
Director Li had set it up for him.
Director Li had asked them to stream the babies’ daily life today.
“Aunties, big brothers and sisters, can you see Yuan Yuan?”
“Yuan Yuan is going to catch swamp eels.”
Feng Yuan said to the live stream, then waved his little hand and went off to find holes.
Eel holes were slightly thicker than an adult’s finger.
There were usually eel holes in the fields and ditches.
There were still plenty of swamp eels in the countryside.
Feng Yuan had trailed behind the group of adults catching eels for a while like a little shadow.
He had watched and listened, so he had some idea of how to find them.
After the adults had taken the eels, Feng Yuan would even go over to inspect the empty holes.
He was learning first and practicing later.
After the adults left, Feng Yuan slung a crossbody bag sewn from a fertilizer sack over his shoulder.
This kind of bag was homemade by the villagers.
The first time Feng Yuan saw it, he had stared at the fertilizer-sack bag with longing eyes, expressing his desire to try it on.
The owner who made the bag was the same auntie who had fried meatballs for Feng Yuan before.
The auntie gave him the bag directly.
“This isn’t worth anything. If you don’t mind, just take it to play with.”
Feng Yuan didn’t mind at all.
The bag he used to collect scraps was a very large fertilizer sack.
He thought fertilizer sacks were incredibly useful!
Now, the bag made from a fertilizer sack was slung over Feng Yuan’s body.
Feng Yuan crouched in the field, searching everywhere for eel holes.
None of the cubs were really looking at the live stream comments.
The comments were scrolling by densely. Feng Yuan didn’t know many characters to begin with.
The cubs, not looking at the comments, had no idea that the “hahahas” had all turned into “ahhhhs”.
Viewers who had experience catching eels as children were all telling Feng Yuan to stop.
Catching eels was very dangerous!
Feng Yuan didn’t see a single one of the warnings in the comments.
He and the other children had already started their work.
The group of cubs might have had a beginner’s luck package.
After searching in the field for less than 10 minutes, they really found an eel hole.
Feng Yuan, mimicking the adults, pulled the eel out.
The huge eel was slippery in his hand.
Fortunately, Feng Yuan’s chubby hand was very steady, precise, and firm as it pinched the eel’s head, preventing it from escaping.
“One.”
Feng Yuan even started counting.
His math was constantly being tutored by Qin Xun.
Feng Yuan could now recognize, count, and write numbers up to 10.
It was just that he wasn’t very proficient with addition and subtraction within 10 yet.
Qin Xun had bought many addition and subtraction tables.
Some were hung in front of his desk, while others were spread directly on the table.
This way, Feng Yuan could see them at any time.
But even so, Feng Yuan wasn’t very interested.
He had not yet developed an interest in learning.
Qin Xun said there was no rush.
After all, Qin Xun would always be with him.
With Qin Xun around, Feng Yuan wouldn’t end up an illiterate.
Time passed bit by bit.
The cubs’ beginner’s luck soon ran out.
They were taking a long time to catch their second eel.
“It’s so hard to catch.”
Feng Yuan anxiously scratched his chubby face.
Seeing Feng Yuan’s anxiety, Rong Rong also tried hard to find an eel hole.
“Hole-hole.”
Rong Rong looked here and there.
As he looked, he actually spotted a hole.
His voice was soft. Feng Yuan didn’t hear him call out.
Seeing that Feng Yuan didn’t come over, Rong Rong slowly reached out his own little hand and personally went to fish in the eel hole.
A few seconds later.
Rong Rong retracted his hand as if he’d been electrocuted.
This time, after pulling his hand back, he stood up and went to find Feng Yuan.
“Hole-hole.”
“Bit Rong Rong.”
Rong Rong was saying he found a hole, but he got bitten.
Swamp eels do bite.
Feng Yuan had been bitten when he caught the first one.
An eel bite hurts a lot.
But with so many other children and the live-stream fans watching, the prideful Feng Yuan was too embarrassed to cry.
Now, hearing that Rong Rong was also bitten, Feng Yuan was even angrier than when he himself had been bitten.
“Take me to see the hole.”
Feng Yuan said furiously, “The eel in this hole, I’ll have it cooked for you to eat!”
Rong Rong obediently nodded.
Feng Yuan personally reached in to grab the eel.
A moment later.
He was bitten, too.
The pain of the bite instantly brought tears to Feng Yuan’s eyes.
He endured the pain, his chubby hand still gripping tightly onto this bite-happy eel.
The eel was dragged out of the hole.
Xiao Putao stared in amazement. “It’s so long.”
Yu Qingqing was also a bit stunned. “It’s a flowery-patterned eel.”
Huo Ming: “…”
Huo Ming’s face turned pale with shock. “That’s a snake!”
Eel holes and snake holes look very similar.
The adults who were catching eels earlier could distinguish between the two.
Feng Yuan hadn’t learned how yet.
At this moment, the snake in Feng Yuan’s chubby hand was struggling, trying to bite him again.
Huo Ming, the oldest of the cubs, was so scared his face turned white.
“Yuan Yuan, quick, go find your dad!”
Huo Ming’s face was pale with fear. The live stream comments exploded.
“I was just about to say, it’s easy for kids to find snakes when they’re digging in eel holes. I found several snakes when I was a kid!”
“Help!!! My Yuan Yuan and Rong Rong both got bitten!”
“How can these kids be so reckless! This is not a game they should be playing!”
“Urgent, urgent. Is there a doctor here?! What should be done in this situation!”
“Now I truly believe the show isn’t scripted…”
“Where’s the director? Where’s the director! Come check on the kids, quick!”
The fans in the comments were going crazy.
Feng Yuan held the snake, his chubby hand still not letting go.
This snake, which had not yet gained spiritual intelligence, was incredibly reckless.
Rong Rong had no spiritual power and looked like an ordinary cub, so it wasn’t strange for the snake to bite him.
But Feng Yuan was a little phoenix, a young divine beast.
Logically, snakes shouldn’t dare to bite him
This big snake, unafraid of the divine beast’s bloodline, was grabbed by Feng Yuan and whipped against the ground.
He slammed the snake on the ground, stunning it.
Huo Ming grabbed his arm, telling him not to bother with the snake anymore.
“Quick, hurry back and find your dad!”
“Rong Rong, I’ll carry you.”
Rong Rong walked too slowly, so Huo Ming directly carried him on his back.
After picking up Rong Rong, Huo Ming was about to pack up the live stream equipment and head back to the village.
Just then, he saw the dense flood of reminders in the comments.
“Bring the snake. It’ll help the doctor with treatment!”
“Bring the snake. Be careful not to get bitten again.”
Seeing the reminder, Huo Ming immediately ordered, “Yuan Yuan, we have to bring the snake!”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan squatted down, his chubby face resolute as he grabbed the snake again.
He picked up the snake and ran towards the village with Huo Ming.
Xiao Putao and Yu Qingqing also ran along behind them.
The group of cubs pattered along.
The comments grew even more frantic: “You’re not supposed to run in this situation!”
“Someone save my babies!”
“I’m about to faint. How do these kids get into so much trouble every single day!”
“The other kid’s variety shows are all scripted. If you have to, just follow a script! Stop being so real! This auntie is scared!”
Kids’ variety shows like this usually have a script.
Director Jia, who had previously invited Feng Yuan, had his show exposed for having a script in advance.
The first season of Director Jia’s show was real.
But in the following seasons, due to issues with the guests, they started using scripts.
After several seasons of scripts, Director Jia’s show hadn’t had a hit in a long time.
The audience didn’t like watching scripted performances.
But now, watching 《Baby’s Journey》, they sometimes wished the babies would just follow a script.
At least that way, the little ones would be safer.
In the countryside, there were many fun things to do.
But at the same time, the dangers could not be ignored.
Amidst the worries of the aunties in the comments, Feng Yuan, clutching a snake, returned to the village.
When he got back, Feng Qi, Bo Han, and the other parents were chatting.
They seemed to be having a good time.
Just as the group of adults was eating sunflower seeds and talking, Feng Yuan, the fastest runner among the cubs, rushed up to them.
“Yuan Yuan, what are you in such a rush for—”
Yu Yiming’s smiling question was cut short as his expression froze.
Chen Yang leaped straight up from his chair!
“A snake! Yuan Yuan, drop the snake. Quick!”
Feng Yuan had been bitten by the snake. His little hand was still hurting.
He had been holding back tears the entire way.
Now that he saw his dad, the little guy clutched the snake and threw himself into his father’s arms.
“Dad, the snake bit Yuan Yuan!”
“It bit Rong Rong, too!”
Feng Qi: “!”
Bo Han: “!”
The two fathers could no longer sit still. They scooped up their cubs and strode away.
With a tacit understanding, the two fathers shook off the people chasing after them.
They were heading to the town hospital. A car wasn’t the fastest way.
Feng Qi transformed into a phoenix. In a near-instant, they arrived at the town hospital.
The staff at the town hospital breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the snake.
“You don’t need to be too scared. This snake isn’t very venomous.”
The hospital staff took the snake away.
They comforted the two parents, “This type of snake bites people often. We’ve treated quite a few people bitten by them.”
“After the two kids get their IV drips, you’ll still be able to make it back for dinner.”
The doctor reassured the two parents.
Feng Qi wasn’t actually the most worried, as his Feng Yuan was a young divine beast, after all.
But Rong Rong was different from Feng Yuan.
For Rong Rong, an incident like this was still very risky.
Soon.
Both cubs got their shots.
Feng Yuan was in the “fierce resistance” camp. The hospital had to send several nurses just to hold his small body down.
The pinned-down cub wailed like a little piglet about to be slaughtered for the New Year.
Rong Rong cried, too.
But as Rong Rong cried, he buried his little face in his father’s arms.
He didn’t struggle much.
After getting their shots, the two little ones were placed on a hospital bed for their IV drips.
The cubs, having been jabbed with a needle, no longer wanted their dads to accompany them.
They were sharing a small bed.
The two little ones lay on the bed and even pulled the blanket over their faces.
“Rong Rong, let’s not cover our faces. You’ll suffocate.”
“Daddy will go buy you something to eat. There are beef pastries at the entrance. Do you want some?”
“Yes.”
Before Rong Rong could answer, Feng Yuan had already blurted it out.
Bo Han smiled and asked Feng Qi to watch the two little ones here while he went out to buy beef pastries.
While the two cubs were still on their drips, Director Li and the others also rushed over.
After hearing that Feng Yuan and Rong Rong were fine, Director Li wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He said with lingering fear, “It seems we’ll need someone to follow Yuan Yuan whenever he goes out from now on.”
Feng Yuan’s little head was full of ideas.
If one wasn’t careful, these ideas could lead to an accident.
After visiting Feng Yuan, Director Li sighed at Feng Qi.
“It’s not easy for you to raise Yuan Yuan.”
Feng Yuan was active, loved to play, and had a strong drive to act on his ideas.
A cub like that was very troublesome to look after.
Feng Qi smiled. “It’s alright.”
They lived in the city, where there were fewer potential accidents than in the village.
Many of the fun activities in the village, like climbing trees, going into rivers, and running around outside, were very dangerous.
In the city, Feng Yuan only drove his little car to collect scraps door-to-door.
The risk was much smaller.
While the adults were talking, Feng Yuan, sitting on the bed, spotted a bit of black mist outside the window.
He reached out his little hand, greasy from eating the beef pastry. He touched the black mist.
“Uncle?”
Feng Yuan had witnessed the black mist turn into the strange uncle.
Not only did he touch the black mist himself, but he also called Rong Rong over.
“Rong Rong, your stepdad is here.”
At Feng Yuan’s reminder, Rong Rong also sat up and moved closer to the window.
The two little cubs sat shoulder to shoulder at the window.
From behind, it just looked like they were observing something outside.
“Rong Rong, say hi to your stepdad.”
Feng Yuan was working hard to cultivate the relationship between Rong Rong and his stepdad.
He hoped Rong Rong could have one more adult to love him.
Rong Rong had been brainwashed by Feng Yuan again during the day.
So, he was no longer resistant to the idea of a stepdad.
His chubby face was pressed against the glass. His round, amber eyes looked at the black mist that may or may not be his stepdad.
“Step, Stepdad.”
He called out in his soft, milky voice.
Hearing him call out, Feng Yuan clapped his little hands, applauding him.
“Rong Rong, give your stepdad a kissy!”
Feng Yuan demonstrated for him.
Feng Yuan pressed his chubby hand to his mouth and acted out a blown kiss.
Rong Rong watched Feng Yuan blow a kiss and, with smiling eyes, blew one back.
The two little ones blew kisses back and forth.
They hadn’t blown more than a few when the IV in Feng Yuan’s chubby hand infiltrated.
The back of his little hand swelled up quickly.
Feng Qi, who had been talking to the director while keeping an eye on his cub, rushed over in a few steps and pulled out the needle.
“Yuan Yuan, didn’t Dad tell you not to move around?!”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan didn’t dare to make a sound.
Both little ones had almost finished their IV drips. Feng Qi didn’t call for anyone to reinsert the needles.
After the ordeal at the hospital, the two little ones were taken home by their fathers.
By the time they returned, it was already evening.
The doctor was right. They could still make it back in time for dinner.
This evening’s meal was prepared by Huo Ming.
To comfort Feng Yuan and Rong Rong, Huo Ming cooked a table full of delicious food for them.
Huo Ming’s cooking skills were actually learned in kindergarten.
At the kindergarten he attended, the teachers often organized group cooking activities.
After three years in kindergarten, Huo Ming had become a capable little chef.
The meal he prepared included both meat and vegetables, along with soup.
Feng Yuan and Rong Rong ate until their little bellies were round and full.
After dinner, Feng Yuan’s dragon uncles finally arrived.
Yu Ye also came along.
Using his “money power”, Yu Ye rented several vacant houses in the village.
The dragons stayed with him.
Seeing his Uncle Yin Shuang and Uncle Qing Hao, Feng Yuan blinked and asked, “Where’s Uncle Chi Rong?”
“Chi Rong is sleeping,” Yin Shuang replied, subtly shooting a glare at Yu Ye as he spoke.
Hearing that Chi Rong was asleep, Feng Yuan found it a bit strange.
“Isn’t he coming to see me?”
Feng Yuan knew his dragon uncles well.
Between sleeping and seeing him, his dragon uncles would always choose to see him!
“He’s too tired,” Yin Shuang explained. “He really wanted to come see you.”
When Yin Shuang had found Chi Rong earlier, he was being held in Yu Ye’s arms, fast asleep and completely unaware of his surroundings.
Though Yin Shuang had no personal experience in such matters, he wasn’t a foolish dragon.
He could tell at a glance that Chi Rong had been thoroughly exhausted.
“Once Chi Rong wakes up, he’ll come see you.”
As soon as the dragons arrived, Feng Yuan was taken outside.
Yin Shuang and Qing Hao placed both him and Rong Rong on their backs and took them for a flight.
After flying with the little ones, the dragons caught some fish for them to eat before heading home to sleep.
Feng Yuan was in charge of grilling the fish.
Rong Rong went to gather firewood.
While collecting firewood, Rong Rong’s small frame was suddenly blocked by a shadow.
A man formed from the shadow stood in front of him.
Holding the firewood, Rong Rong lifted his little face and met the man’s gaze.
“Stepdad,” Rong Rong said.
Under Feng Yuan’s personal guidance, Rong Rong had become quite proficient at calling him “Stepdad.”
Now, the words Rong Rong could say most fluently were, first, “Dad”, second, “Yuan Yuan”, and third, “Stepdad”.
The demon, addressed as “Stepdad”, narrowed his eyes.
He crouched down, meeting the little fox at eye level.
Word by word, he told the little fox, “I am not your stepdad.”
“I am your biological father.”
“The fox belongs to me alone.”
The demon had come to inform the little fox that his fox belonged only to him.
But Rong Rong didn’t quite grasp his meaning.
Clutching the firewood tightly, Rong Rong thought for a moment before slowly correcting himself: “Dad.”
Biological meant “Dad”.
Non-biological meant “Stepdad”.
This was something Feng Yuan had taught him.
Feng Yuan said that, as children, they should love their dad the most!
Of course, Dad loved them the most, too!
Because they were Dad’s biological children!
Now with one more biological dad, Rong Rong hugged the firewood and took a step forward.
He was closer to the demon now.
Having informed the little fox of his identity, the demon turned to leave.
After a few steps, he glanced back and noticed the little fox following him.
He took a few more steps, and the little fox followed again.
The demon: “…”
The demon halted his steps, but the little fox couldn’t stop in time and bumped right into him.
The little fox, his head hurting from the collision, raised a hand to rub his forehead.
As he lifted his hand, the firewood he was carrying tumbled to the ground.
The little fox froze in place.
Seeing him crouch down to pick up the firewood, the demon vanished on the spot.
By the time the little fox had gathered the firewood and stood up again, his new father was nowhere to be seen.
Holding the firewood, he waited in place for a while.
“Rong Rong, Rong Rong, come over here!”
Feng Yuan, who had just finished grilling a fish, called out from behind, “Come and eat some fish!”
Rong Rong nodded, clutching the firewood as he walked over to Feng Yuan.
He sat down and accepted the fish Feng Yuan handed him.
“Yuan Yuan.”
Instead of eating the fish, he called out to Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan was busy grilling the next fish. “I’m here. What’s up?”
“Dad.”
“He’s Dad, not stepdad.”
Rong Rong took small bites of the fish as he spoke to Feng Yuan. “Dad left.”
“Dad doesn’t like Rong Rong.”
Feng Yuan: “?!”
Feng Yuan was shocked. “Your stepdad is your real dad!”
Feng Yuan remained stunned. “You think he doesn’t like you!”
Feng Yuan shook his head firmly. “That’s absolutely impossible.”
Rong Rong was so adorable and fluffy. No one could possibly dislike him!
“Rong Rong, your dad likes you!”
Feng Yuan spoke with absolute certainty. “Don’t overthink it. Every adult is different.”
“Uncle didn’t hold or kiss Yuan Yuan at first either.”
“But now he loves holding Yuan Yuan.”
Feng Yuan used his own uncle as an example to reassure Rong Rong.
To help Rong Rong get closer to his new and real dad, Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.
“Rong Rong, we can figure out a way to catch your new dad.”
“If you two spend some time alone together, he’ll grow to love you.”
In essence, Feng Yuan’s plan could be summarized as: the domineering little one forces affection!
Feng Yuan wanted to force Rong Rong’s real dad to spend time with him.
Rong Rong never objected to any of Feng Yuan’s ideas.
The two little ones nibbled on their boneless fish and drank the water Uncle Dragon had brought, all while devising their plan to capture the demon.
Before learning the demon’s identity, Feng Yuan had been a bit afraid of him.
But now that he knew the demon was Rong Rong’s dad, Feng Yuan wasn’t scared at all.
“Rong Rong, just wait. Your new dad will spoil you rotten!”
Feng Yuan’s assurance made Rong Rong’s eyes curve into happy crescents.
Just like that, the demon’s earlier indifference was brushed aside by Rong Rong.
After finishing their grilled fish, the two little ones climbed onto Uncle Dragon’s back and were carried back home.
They fell asleep on the dragon’s back.
Seeing them asleep, the dragons couldn’t bear to hand them over to their dad.
“Feng Qi, we want to let the babies sleep with us.”
“Alright.”
Feng Qi had already guessed they’d want to sleep with Feng Yuan tonight, so he agreed readily.
Rong Rong was also kept by the dragons.
The dragons thought the sight of the two little ones sleeping side by side was too harmonious.
They couldn’t bear to disrupt such a beautiful scene.
Moonlit: I hope Chi Shui won’t stay indifferent to Rong Rong.
