Thank you, BlueMoon, for the ko-fi~
The two little ones ran all over the street, with Qin Xun chasing after them like a little guardian, keeping them company.
Along the way, someone happened to run into them and, with sharp business acumen, immediately started a live stream.
The streamer was a college student.
He propped up his phone on a stand, seemingly filming himself. But the real focus was the two little ones behind him.
In the background, the two little ones were setting off firecrackers in a snow pile.
With the two of them in the frame, the number of viewers in the college student’s live stream skyrocketed.
Many fans rushed over.
They sent gifts and urged the streamer to get a clearer shot of Feng Yuan and Rong Rong.
The streamer, overjoyed by the gifts, couldn’t stop grinning.
Following the fans’ requests, he moved the camera closer to Feng Yuan.
Just as he approached Feng Yuan, a group of children showed up.
The leader of this group was the older kid who had just been beaten.
The older kid, who looked about eight or nine years old, pushed Feng Yuan down as soon as he arrived.
“You little snitch! It’s all your fault for telling my mom, which got me beaten up.”
“I’m telling you, you’re done for!”
The older kid, still seething with anger from the beating, had come specifically to settle the score with Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan glanced at the kids the older boy had brought along, then looked at his own side.
“Rong Rong, go wait for me under the big tree.”
Feng Yuan first sent Rong Rong, the weakest in a fight, away.
Rong Rong was very obedient.
Knowing he couldn’t fight and couldn’t even run very fast, he obediently went to stand under the big tree as soon as Feng Yuan told him to.
Qin Xun, who had been following Feng Yuan, didn’t need to be called. He walked over on his own.
Now, Feng Yuan only had Qin Xun left on his side.
Meanwhile, the older kid had brought five or six children with him. Some were his classmates, and others were his relatives.
In any case, on their way over, these kids had all been bribed!
They had agreed to teach Feng Yuan a lesson.
“Oh, you’re not thinking of fighting back, are you? Yuan Yuan, I’ve heard you’re quite famous in kindergarten.”
“But do you know who I am?”
“I’m the boss of the second grade in elementary school! I’m a force to be reckoned with. Everyone who sees me, Brother Hui, has to offer me a cigarette!”
The troublemaking older kid’s full name was Li Hui, and his nickname was Stone.
As he spoke, he kept shaking his head, making Feng Yuan dizzy.
Feng Yuan, his chubby little face stern, picked out the key point from Li Hui’s strange ramblings.
“You smoke!”
“Kids aren’t allowed to smoke. I’m going to tell your mom.”
Feng Yuan’s threat to tell his mom made Li Hui’s face twitch.
A flicker of fear flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.
He poked Feng Yuan’s chest and threatened, “The fierce tiger descends the mountain, the dragon roars. Little buddy, don’t get too cocky!”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan didn’t quite understand his rhyming, symmetrical sentences.
The little guy puffed out his bun-like cheeks and simply repeated, “I’m going to tell your mom, and your dad, too! I saw your dad came back!”
Li Hui’s dad usually worked out of town and only came back during holidays or the New Year.
Feng Yuan had seen his dad return just the day before.
Li Hui thought about the combined scolding and spanking he’d gotten from his parents when he scored an 8 on his math test.
His face instantly turned pale.
“Feng Yuan!”
Provoked repeatedly, Li Hui flew into a rage. He issued a challenge to Feng Yuan: “Rise and fall by your own efforts. If you mess with me, I’ll mess you up!”
“Everyone, get him! Make him cry! Let’s see if he’ll ever snitch again!”
Li Hui was about to hit Feng Yuan.
Qin Xun, who had been eyeing him with displeasure since earlier, grabbed his wrist just before he could strike. He flung him forcefully and sent him crashing to the ground.
The other kids behind Li Hui had initially wanted to join in.
But seeing how fierce Qin Xun was, they hesitated.
At that moment, Li Hui, still lying on the ground and unable to get up, was in so much pain that tears welled in his eyes.
He wanted to spout some motivational quotes to rally his friends.
But he hadn’t memorized enough. For a moment, nothing came to mind.
Seeing his friends about to flee, Li Hui clutched his arm and blurted out bluntly, “Beat them up! I’ll treat you all to card draws later! As many as you want!”
With that added incentive, the elementary schoolers didn’t hesitate anymore.
They charged forward with wild shouts.
Feng Yuan and Qin Xun both met them head-on.
Feng Yuan had genuinely learned how to fight at the training base.
He even practiced boxing in his spare time!
He wasn’t afraid of these kids at all.
Feng Yuan wasn’t scared of them and was more than capable of taking them on.
During the scuffle, they all ended up rolling around on the ground quite a bit.
Feng Yuan’s little face and clothes were covered in dirt.
The kids he fought fared even worse. Though they were older than Feng Yuan, they ended up beaten to tears.
The kids cried and tried to run away.
But Feng Yuan wouldn’t let them: “I’m going to tell on you! I’ll tell your parents!”
Waving his little fists, Feng Yuan declared this with righteous confidence.
“I’m so little, and you tried to hit me. You’re bad kids!”
Bad kids are afraid of being tattled on.
Earlier, Feng Yuan had only threatened to tell on Li Hui. But now, none of them could escape.
No child is unafraid of being reported.
These kids were no exception. They all began pleading with Feng Yuan.
“Yuan Yuan, please don’t tell. My mom will hit me.”
“My uncle is at home, and he’s a policeman. He told me not to bully anyone. Waa, Yuan Yuan, please don’t come to my house.”
The kids were all scared now.
But it was too late for regrets.
Not far from them, a college student blogger who had been watching the drama had recorded everything that just happened.
The student checked the viewer count and engagement in his livestream.
Given the current buzz, he figured the kids’ family members or relatives would probably come across the video.
Some viewers had already mentioned that clips from his livestream were being edited and shared online.
As the fight wrapped up, the comments in the college student’s livestream flooded with fans of “Little Yuan Yuan” and “Little Rong Rong”.
These two little ones had massive followings.
Rong Rong, with his adorable looks and his actor father Bo Han’s fame, naturally attracted a huge fanbase.
Bo Han’s fanbase alone was nothing to scoff at.
Bo Han hadn’t even had a Weibo account before. But after bringing Rong Rong onto a variety show, he finally opened one to help with promotion.
Now, nine out of ten posts on Bo Han’s Weibo were about Rong Rong.
He used the platform to document Rong Rong’s daily life, occasionally appearing in the posts himself.
The father-son duo looked alike and had charming everyday moments.
Many of Bo Han’s fan-girls now proudly call themselves “aunty fans” of Rong Rong.
While Rong Rong won fans with his cute face and his dad’s fame, Feng Yuan relied on nothing but himself.
Feng Yuan’s knack for stirring up drama in creative ways is yet to be surpassed by any other kid.
He manages to make headlines every few days.
From getting beaten up early on, to later collecting scrap, then becoming the “Little King Yuan Yuan” on variety shows, and even making the news for traveling…
Even yesterday’s kidnapping incident was reported with his name specifically mentioned.
The news highlighted that Feng Yuan and Qin Xun willingly allowed themselves to be taken by traffickers to rescue other kidnapped children.
Working together with their parents, the two kids ultimately saved over ten children from the traffickers, as well as others who had been abducted and sold in the village.
The news had just been released, so fans hadn’t seen it yet.
Otherwise, the live stream would probably be buzzing with discussions by now.
The college student host was still engrossed in reading the comments. While behind him, the triumphant Little King Yuan Yuan was already preparing to leave.
With his dirty little face, scraped knuckles, and other minor injuries, Little King Yuan Yuan went off to tattle.
The little guy had been fierce during the fight. But now, as he lodged his complaints, his expression was utterly pitiful.
“Brother Buding hit me.”
The little guy had always been polite. If these kids hadn’t come to pick a fight, he would have been courteous to them, too.
The well-mannered little toddler held up his chubby, scraped hand to show Buding’s mom, whom he knew.
Buding’s mom crouched down, gently blowing on his hand while soothing him with heartfelt concern.
“Does it hurt, Yuan Yuan? Come to Auntie’s house for a snack. I’ll clean and treat your wounds.”
Her voice was soft and gentle as she comforted Feng Yuan.
But when she turned to look at her own son, her eyes clearly conveyed one message—
“You’re in for it!”
This neighborhood often held educational activities. The recent themes had focused on anti-bullying.
Not long ago, a severe case of juvenile bullying had gone viral online. The brutality of the incident left no normal person untouched by grief and anger.
Parents, especially those with children, found it particularly hard to stomach.
Parents in this neighborhood had repeatedly taught their kids not to tolerate bullying and never to bully others.
Buding’s mom had discussed this with her son multiple times.
She never expected her son would still dare to do such a thing.
At its mildest, this was just a fight. But at its worst, it was group bullying!
If left unchecked, and if her son developed a truly bad character, it could lead to disastrous consequences…
By then, it would be the criminal justice system teaching him a lesson!
The thought made Buding’s mom’s gaze toward her son even more ominous.
Feng Yuan didn’t stay for a visit.
He was busy heading to other houses to tattle.
And so, Feng Yuan spent a full hour lodging complaints. Every child who had fought with him ended up grounded by their parents.
Despite it being the New Year season, these kids, having been beaten, weren’t even allowed to cry.
They were all seething with frustration.
This time, no matter how aggrieved they felt, none dared to provoke Feng Yuan again.
Having vented his grievances, Feng Yuan took Rong Rong and went back to setting off firecrackers.
“Qin Xun, I’m out of firecrackers.”
Feng Yuan had already used up the entire pocketful of firecrackers he had.
He still wanted to play.
Seeing his enthusiasm, Qin Xun started looking around the street for vendors selling firecrackers.
Such stalls weren’t common, but they could be found.
Besides firecrackers, these stalls also sold various snacks and toys popular with kids.
All the items were wholesale, clearly cheaply made.
But Feng Yuan didn’t mind the low quality.
He picked out firecrackers and snacks, and Qin Xun paid for them.
Feng Yuan hadn’t received his New Year’s money yet, so he was still a little broke kid.
“Qin Xun, thank you.”
Seeing that Qin Xun had finished paying, Feng Yuan stood on his tiptoes, puckered his little mouth, and kissed Qin Xun.
Rong Rong got some of the firecrackers and snacks from Feng Yuan.
Seeing Feng Yuan kiss Qin Xun, he hesitated, wondering if he should give a kiss, too.
Just as he was still hesitating, Qin Xun noticed his expression.
The next moment.
Qin Xun picked up the incense and said, “Let’s go. We’re going back to set off firecrackers.”
With Qin Xun’s interruption, Rong Rong stopped thinking about whether to kiss or not.
His little face beaming with joy, he followed Feng Yuan to continue setting off firecrackers.
The three kids played on the street all morning.
By noon, Feng Yuan still hadn’t returned home.
Feng Qi, who had already gotten up, sat on the sofa watching TV and called him.
Feng Yuan answered the call but was reluctant to go back.
The little guy dawdled, saying, “Yuan Yuan doesn’t want to eat. Yuan Yuan still wants to play.”
He had just eaten some snacks and wasn’t very hungry anymore.
Besides, Rong Rong didn’t want to go back either.
Rong Rong didn’t want to go home. He just wanted to stay outside.
The loyal King Yuan Yuan, seeing that Rong Rong didn’t want to go back, naturally decided to stay with him.
Feng Qi, hearing him procrastinate on the other end of the line, quickly lost his patience.
“Food is about to be served at home. We still have to make dumplings this afternoon.”
“Feng Yuan, do you want me to come out and get you?”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan whined in his baby voice, “No.”
Just as Feng Yuan was still on the phone with his dad, Chi Shui approached from not far ahead.
As soon as Chi Shui appeared, Rong Rong’s eyes turned red.
He looked like he was about to cry.
Seeing his red eyes, Chi Shui practically teleported in front of him.
“Rong Rong.”
Chi Shui called his name.
It seemed he and Bo Han had already talked.
Now, he was here to talk to his son: “Let’s go home first.”
“I have something to say to you.”
Chi Shui wanted to go home and talk with Rong Rong.
Seeing Chi Shui’s attitude, Feng Yuan thought for a few seconds and then nodded.
“Rong Rong, you should talk things out with him.”
Feng Yuan said, “If you end up hating him, we’ll find you a new dad.”
Hearing this, Rong Rong sniffled and nodded.
Rong Rong was carried home by Chi Shui.
With Rong Rong’s matter settled, Feng Yuan grabbed Qin Xun’s hand and hurriedly started running back.
“Qin Xun, run faster!”
“Dad’s going to get mad!”
The little guy, who had been unwilling to go back on the phone, was now running faster than anyone.
By the time the two little ones ran home, the food had just been served.
Feng Yuan smelled the aroma of braised chicken legs.
He reached out his little hand to grab one to eat.
Feng Qi, standing behind him, cleared his throat. The next moment, the grubby little guy instinctively pulled back his dirty chubby hand.
He went to the kitchen and asked Grandpa to help wash his hands.
While Li Heng was washing his hands, he noticed the scrapes on them.
“Yuan Yuan, did you fall?”
Li Heng held his chubby little hand and disinfected the scraped areas.
These little injuries from Feng Yuan’s bumps and scrapes were nothing out of the ordinary.
He shook his freshly disinfected chubby hand and, while heading to the dining table, explained in his baby voice, “Yuan Yuan didn’t get these from falling.”
“Yuan Yuan got into a fight.”
The adults, who had just sat down at the table, all turned to look at him in unison upon hearing this.
Li Ting, still holding his phone and not having put it down yet, didn’t look at him.
Li Ting made a sound of acknowledgment, “I saw it. There’s a livestream of Yuan Yuan.”
“I sent it to the group chat.”
Li Ting had just come across a freshly edited clip of the livestream online.
He shared the video in the group chat. The other adults, along with Li Si and Li Wang, all lowered their heads to watch.
A moment later.
The little guy who had been in the fight wasn’t scolded or blamed.
Li Ting pinched his chubby cheek, looking quite pleased. “It seems the training at the base has been somewhat useful. Our Yuan Yuan fought really well.”
Li Wei, who had rushed back for the New Year, also smiled and patted Feng Yuan’s head.
“Our Yuan Yuan did great. When you’re out and about, you can’t let others bully you.”
The adults felt the little guy hadn’t done anything wrong this time.
Feng Qi didn’t blame the little guy either.
However, worried that the praise might go to his head, he specifically reminded him, “It’s okay to fight back if we’re bullied, but we must never bully others first, understand?”
“Bullying others first makes you a bad child.”
Feng Yuan nodded his little head.
He knew he shouldn’t bully others.
The family enjoyed a lavish lunch together. In the afternoon, aside from preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner, they also made dumplings.
The dumplings they made in the afternoon were to be eaten on the morning of New Year’s Day.
Watching the adults shape the dumplings, Feng Yuan wanted to help, too.
But his “help” only made things worse.
While the adults busily shaped the dumplings, he was busy playing with the dough.
“Yuan Yuan, go play somewhere else. Don’t stay here.”
Feng Qi looked at the little guy, whose face was covered in flour. He felt that if Feng Yuan stayed any longer, they wouldn’t have enough dough left.
Feng Yuan refused to leave.
With his two chubby hands kneading the dough, he confidently declared he would make a Ka Tu Tu for his dad.
Feng Qi glanced at the little guy playing with the dough, then at Qin Xun, who was helping wrap the dumplings. One child was lively and restless, the other calm and quiet. The latter was clearly easier for the adults to handle.
For many, the festive atmosphere of the New Year has been fading over time.
But this year, the Li family once again felt the rich, joyful spirit of the season.
They put up Spring Festival couplets together, made dumplings together, prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner together, and decorated the house together.
The lively little chubby kid kept running outside to look up at the sky.
He repeatedly asked the adults, “Dad, why isn’t it dark yet?”
Once it got dark, they could have their New Year’s Eve dinner.
After the dinner, Feng Yuan could kowtow to the elders and receive his red envelopes!
He was eagerly waiting for nightfall.
Under Feng Yuan’s impatient anticipation, the sky outside finally began to darken bit by bit.
In the afternoon, Feng Qi also received a call from Director Li.
Director Li asked him and Feng Yuan to record a New Year’s greeting video to post on the official Weibo of 《Baby’s Journey》.
Such holiday videos were easy to record.
Feng Qi and Feng Yuan had already finished recording one.
He planned to record another video in the evening of Feng Yuan asking for his red envelope money.
That way, the little guy’s own account could also have an update.
The New Year’s Eve dinner was a grand feast, covering the entire table.
Feng Yuan, preoccupied with thoughts of his red envelope, couldn’t focus on eating.
As soon as dinner was over, without even wiping his mouth, he was ready to start kowtowing for New Year’s greetings.
Feng Qi stopped him, wiped his face, and changed him into a new set of clothes.
Coincidentally, they were going out later, so the new outfit would be perfect for the occasion.
Their home wasn’t far from the Yu family’s.
The two families had agreed to get together again on New Year’s Eve.
It was only seven o’clock, so they still had time to visit for a while.
“Dad, is it time yet?”
The little guy, already changed into his clothes, was waiting with an anxious chubby face.
Feng Qi, holding his phone and recording him, nodded.
Seeing his dad nod, Feng Yuan immediately plopped down onto his knees.
He knelt before his grandfather and began asking for his New Year’s money.
“Grandpa, may your fortune be as vast as the Eastern Sea, and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountains!”
Even Li Heng, who always wore a stern expression, broke into a smile.
He handed over a large red envelope.
After receiving one big red envelope, Feng Yuan didn’t turn to greet his grandmother.
Instead, he kowtowed to his grandfather again and continued with his blessings.
“Grandpa, I wish you good health and happiness every day!”
Li Heng chuckled and handed him another red envelope.
Feng Yuan: “!”
Having received two red envelopes in a row, Feng Yuan still didn’t turn away.
He kowtowed to his grandfather once more.
“Grandpa, I wish you eternal life! May you live forever!”
Li Heng: “Well, I’ll do my best to live a few more years and watch you grow up.”
Li Heng gave him another red envelope.
Feng Qi, who was recording the scene, could hardly bear to watch.
He couldn’t help but whisper to Li Sheng, “How many more times is this little chubby kid going to kowtow? He can’t just keep targeting Grandpa like this.”
Feng Qi felt a bit embarrassed just recording it.
Though Feng Qi was already feeling awkward behind his phone, the thick-skinned little guy in front kowtowed yet again.
The little guy’s vocabulary was quite limited.
The blessings he was reciting were all borrowed from the other children he’d met during the kids’ variety show.
As he struggled to come up with more words, his chubby face turned red with effort.
He scratched his cheek anxiously, racking his brain for more phrases.
Just as Feng Qi thought he couldn’t come up with anything else and was about to tell him to get up, the little guy’s eyes lit up. He had managed to squeeze out another line.
“Grandpa, I wish you the early arrival of a precious son, and a harmonious new year!”
Feng Qi: “…”
Feng Qi’s hand, holding the phone, trembled slightly.
Meanwhile, everyone else burst into laughter. Li Wei was laughing so hard she bent over.
“Oh my, Yuan Yuan, where did you learn that from?”
Li Wei was practically dying of laughter.
Even Li Xing couldn’t hold back and turned around to hide his expression.
Everyone was roaring with laughter.
The little guy, being laughed at, looked around in confusion with his chubby face.
“What’s so funny?”
The uneducated child had no idea what a huge joke he had made. He kept asking, “Why are you all laughing at Yuan Yuan?”
“Stop laughing! Stop laughing!”
While the adults continued to laugh, the teased little guy scrambled up from the floor and hurriedly hugged the adults’ legs, trying to stop them from laughing at him.
In the end, even Feng Qi couldn’t hold back and laughed.
Though he was laughing at his child, at that moment, he firmly resolved one thing in his heart—
He would make sure his academically challenged son attended every single day of school that human children are supposed to attend!
This illiterate son absolutely must go to school to get educated!
After being laughed at by the adults, when it was his turn to greet his grandmother, Feng Yuan lacked confidence.
Fortunately, his aunt, who had laughed enough, gave the little one a hint.
“Yuan Yuan, you can wish for Grandma to be beautiful.”
With that hint, the little guy successfully received his grandmother’s New Year’s money as well.
They followed the traditional New Year’s custom, where children only need to kneel before their grandparents and maternal grandparents.
As for fathers, uncles, aunts, and older siblings, no kneeling is required.
Feng Yuan no longer needed to kowtow, but the adults held him and teased him for quite a while before giving him the New Year’s money.
After bustling about at home for half an hour, the family finally headed out.
They sent a message to the Yu family while on the road. By the time the Yu family received it, they had just finished their tasks.
As the little star of the family this New Year, Eggy received a pile of red envelopes and gifts after the reunion dinner.
Yu Lian and Fang Fang gave him a protective lock, while Yu Ye presented him with a pair of small gold bracelets.
The dragons also bought Eggy a heap of things with the money they had earned.
Aside from the gifts, Eggy’s little bed was nearly buried under red envelopes.
Fang Fang had been planning to post on her social media for the past couple of days but had held back, waiting for the New Year to publicly share her precious little grandson.
On Eggy’s bed, besides a layer of red envelopes, there were also bundles of cash and gold bars arranged in a circle.
Fang Fang snapped photo after photo of her little grandson.
After taking the pictures, she arranged them into a nine-square grid and posted them on her social media.
Fang Fang: “Happy New Year! In the coming year, I hope our Mo Mo grows up healthy and strong. Grandma loves you forever! [rose] [rose] [rose]”
After Fang Fang posted, Yu Yi picked up his son, who was already a bit grumpy from all the posing.
As he lifted the baby, he accidentally bumped him against the railing of the crib.
It wasn’t a hard bump. Eggy just opened his eyes to look at him without making a sound.
The little rascal was quite forgiving of his dad.
Yu Yi, aware that he had bumped him, felt a bit embarrassed.
“Let Daddy blow on it.”
Yu Yi carried Eggy to the living room to wait for Feng Yuan.
The bed in their living room was electric and could extend into a sofa bed.
Holding Eggy, Yu Yi prepared to recline halfway on the sofa bed while waiting.
He sat down first and, as he was about to lie on his side, accidentally pressed down on Eggy’s little arm.
Eggy: “…”
Eggy tightened his little face and continued to endure it.
Yu Yi kissed Eggy’s cheek and whispered an apology, “Sorry, Eggy, Daddy didn’t mean to. Did I hurt you?”
Seeing Eggy’s unhappy face, Yu Yi wanted to cheer him up.
So, he took out his phone: “Eggy, let’s call your brother Yuan Yuan, okay? Let’s ask him where he is now.”
Hearing the word “brother”, Eggy’s tense little face finally relaxed.
He reached up with his little hand, trying to grab the phone.
Yu Yi took out the phone. Before he could get a firm grip, Eggy swiped at it.
As luck would have it, the phone slipped from Eggy’s little hand and landed right on his face.
Yu Yi: “…”
Eggy, who had been hit: “…”
