Thank you, BlueMoon, for the ko-fi~
With both fathers present, Eggy in the crib wore a serious expression, his little hands and feet exerting coordinated effort.
After straining for quite a while, he finally succeeded in flipping himself over the edge of the crib.
The crib stood about half a meter above the ground.
The falling Eggy showed no fear whatsoever.
He was testing whether he remained as resilient to falls as before.
Just as his small body was about to hit the floor, a pair of large hands steadily caught him.
It was Wu Jin.
Wu Jin had scooped up his son at the last second, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest from fright.
“Eggy, why did you suddenly flip over!”
Wu Jin was usually a gentle-tempered father who never raised his voice at Little Eggy.
This was one of his rare moments of losing composure.
Yu Yi was equally terrified.
He dropped his phone, rushed to Eggy’s side, and took the child into his arms.
“Eggy, are you hurt anywhere? Wu Jin, did he fall?”
“He didn’t fall.”
Wu Jin quickly reassured him, “Xiao Yi, don’t worry. I caught him in time.”
Although Wu Jin had caught Eggy, Yu Yi still meticulously inspected Eggy from head to toe.
The failed fall left Eggy with a stern little face, clearly displeased.
After being held by his father for a while, once he was placed back in the crib, he mustered his strength again and attempted another dive toward the floor.
Wu Jin caught him three times in a row.
After the third attempt, both Yu Yi and Wu Jin understood his intention.
“Eggy!”
Yu Yi’s earlier distress and shock now transformed into anger. “How could you deliberately throw yourself to the ground?! Is there something wrong with your little head?”
“You’re not inside an eggshell anymore. Without the shell, you can’t just tumble around recklessly.”
To make the little guy understand what pain felt like, Yu Yi even held his chubby foot and gently tapped it against the floor.
Without his eggshell, Eggy was no longer sturdy.
The tap made Eggy’s eyes instantly well up with tears.
He held them back, refusing to cry.
Seeing this, Yu Yi took his other chubby foot and tapped it against the floor once more.
Eggy: “…”
Eggy let out a loud wail and finally burst into tears.
Seizing the opportunity, Yu Yi immediately began to educate him.
“Your flesh is very tender now. If you bump, knock, or fall, it will hurt terribly.”
“Just like how it hurts right now, understand?”
Yu Yi delivered a lengthy lecture, though it was unclear whether Eggy absorbed any of it.
What was certain was that the little guy knew his father had deliberately made him hurt.
The little guy had quite the temper.
He wriggled and squirmed, refusing to let Yu Yi hold him, instead reaching for Wu Jin.
When Yu Yi tried to stroke him, Eggy shrank away before his hand could even make contact.
Seeing this, Yu Yi simply let Wu Jin take over holding him.
Over at the Yu household, things seemed relatively calm for now.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Feng Yuan had landed a new job.
Due to city-wide child quarantine measures, the publicity department had come to the hospital to film a documentary. It was both to inform the public about the children’s conditions and to reassure parents.
They planned to broadcast the documentary showing the young ones’ situation in the hospital.
As soon as the publicity team arrived, the doctors offered a suggestion.
“You could use footage of Feng Yuan.”
“This child is in exceptionally good spirits.”
“We just assigned Feng Yuan a task to stay with a child who was emotionally unstable and having a complete meltdown.”
“He’s really good at comforting other kids.”
“Right now, he’s playing games on a console brought by another child.”
When the hospital staff member in charge of reception led the publicity team over, Feng Yuan, who had been bored earlier, was already having a blast.
He and the little guy who came to find him were both wearing protective suits, so the two could avoid direct contact.
Although talking wasn’t very convenient, the two could still chat and play together.
The child who had arrived crying and distraught was soon smiling after playing with Feng Yuan for a while.
Feng Yuan’s way of comforting the little guy was genuinely sincere.
If it weren’t for saving Rong Rong, he wouldn’t have wanted to leave this place at all.
“We’re here, no classes, and we can watch TV. How comfortable is that!”
Parents came to see them every day, and they could eat whatever they wanted.
And most importantly, it was supposed to be kindergarten time, but they didn’t have to go to kindergarten!
For a little guy who wasn’t fond of studying, this was pure bliss.
Under Feng Yuan’s guidance, the crying child stopped crying.
When the other child left, he even gave Feng Yuan the game console.
“I’ll ask my mom to bring me another one. You can have this one.”
The visiting child was incredibly generous, gifting a game console worth thousands without a second thought.
Feng Yuan didn’t take it for free.
He rummaged through his pencil case and pulled out a one-yuan note to give to the child.
“Let me borrow the game console for a bit.”
“This is for you as payment.”
To be precise, Feng Yuan was renting the game console for one yuan.
He couldn’t afford to buy one.
So, he chose to rent it!
Renting things was common these days. Feng Yuan had seen it plenty of times.
After handing over the yuan, he played the game console with a clear conscience.
The publicity team didn’t disturb Feng Yuan.
They quietly observed him for a long time.
They had also seen Feng Yuan’s surveillance footage. After reviewing the video and his current behavior, the head of the publicity department praised Feng Yuan highly.
“I know this child. He’s a little celebrity.”
“I haven’t watched his shows, but I’ve heard he’s a bit mischievous. He even has the nickname ‘King Yuan Yuan’.”
“Now that I’ve seen him in person, I understand.”
“The reason this child is so well-loved isn’t because of his mischief or energy, but because of his optimism and charm.”
“He’s truly the most delightful child I’ve ever met.”
For children, hospitals are naturally frightening places.
When kids come here, behaving obediently is already quite an achievement.
But Feng Yuan? He entered the hospital room as if it were his own home.
His ability to switch emotions left even the adults in awe.
One moment, he was crying because he missed his dad.
The next, he turned on the TV, saw a little green dinosaur, and, with tears still on his face, broke into a grin.
This kid truly didn’t internalize stress or fear.
“He’s the one.”
The head of the publicity department decided on the spot: “Edit the footage with him as the main focus.”
The documentary wouldn’t feature just one child.
But Feng Yuan would be the one with the most screen time.
This documentary would unfold with him as the central character.
The publicity department worked quickly. They arrived on the same day, finalized the plan, and began working immediately.
By the evening of the next day, the promotional video was already airing.
Given the current urgent situation, all aspects of the work have been accelerated compared to before.
Feng Yuan knew he had appeared on television. An uncle had already informed him.
When the documentary aired, he sat in front of the TV and watched it.
The little guy in the video made Feng Yuan sigh deeply.
Since ancient times, celebrities have always appeared slightly heavier on screen than in reality.
After the New Year and a period of drinking milk powder, Feng Yuan’s little face had grown even rounder.
Watching the chubby child on TV, he grew deeply worried.
He was afraid of being called “little fatty”.
As soon as the documentary aired, countless comments flooded in.
Feng Yuan’s auntie fans went wild, spamming the screen with “Ahhh!”
“So adorable, my Yuan Yuan!”
“Wuwu. Thinking about my Yuan Yuan wearing protective gear and getting into the car to go to the hospital—my baby is so pitiful! When will this dreadful virus be eradicated?”
“My chubby baby is so heartwarming, even comforting other little kids.”
“Why do I feel… my Yuan Yuan is having so much fun in the hospital that he doesn’t want to leave?”
The comments section was lively.
Feng Yuan’s optimistic image inspired many people.
Seeing him, the long-suppressed gloom in people’s hearts unconsciously lifted.
There were almost no negative comments.
Unfortunately, Feng Yuan, who couldn’t read many characters, didn’t see any of it.
Thanks to this documentary, Feng Yuan went viral once again across the internet.
He even made the news. This time, his popularity soared higher than ever before.
Many people who don’t watch variety shows or browse videos online saw him on the news and either asked around or searched online to learn more about him.
Feng Yuan’s fame skyrocketed.
His little body also grew warmer.
The public’s affection for him, like scattered specks of starlight, invisibly flowed into his being.
This was Bo Han’s doing.
To ensure his own Rong Rong could gain spiritual power, Bo Han went to great lengths to find a method that could transform the audience’s affection for Rong Rong into spiritual energy.
He applied the same method to Feng Yuan.
In other words, aside from having Feng Yuan fight monsters himself, there was now another way for him to level up and grow stronger—by being liked.
Being liked was, for Feng Yuan, as easy as pie.
This little guy, who effortlessly captivated the internet, found going viral as simple as eating a meal.
Feng Yuan busied himself in the hospital.
Though he was very busy, he didn’t forget Rong Rong.
He sent over his most beloved gaming console, which he had only played with for two hours, for Rong Rong to enjoy.
But Rong Rong had already been transferred. The gaming console was returned.
When Li Sheng saw that Feng Yuan had a gaming console, he called and instructed him to hand it over to the doctor uncle.
Li Sheng had already used up his visitation opportunity for the day.
He couldn’t come to see his son in person to confiscate the console himself.
So, he told his son to surrender it voluntarily.
After hearing his big dad’s instructions, Feng Yuan remained silent, reached out his chubby little hand, and hung up the call directly.
Li Sheng, left staring at his phone screen after the call was disconnected, turned livid.
This was it.
This plague demon had to be eliminated. His son could not stay in the hospital any longer!
Li Sheng grew increasingly anxious.
After relentless interrogation of the demon soul trapped within the black stone, Bai Ze and Chi Shui finally extracted clues about the plague demon.
The demon soul revealed that the plague demon resided within a child—a child who was now approaching other children.
The demon imprisoned in the black stone had been tormented to the brink of disintegration by Bai Ze, leading a host of divine beasts, and Chi Shui, an unequivocal great demon himself.
While furiously condemning Chi Shui’s betrayal, the demon soul had no choice but to divulge more information under Chi Shui’s coercion.
Before his resurrection, Chi Shui had clearly been devoted to the demon race!
Back then, he was a model demon. He was cold-blooded, devoid of superfluous emotions.
He would engage in battle with gods without hesitation, driven by an insatiable thirst for power and territory.
It was precisely for this reason that he had been granted the chance at resurrection.
But now, resurrected he was.
And with resurrection came a wife and child—and outright betrayal!
Chi Shui’s defection sent a chill through the hearts of demons.
“You are unworthy of being called a great demon!” the demon soul spat, inviting further torment.
Expressionless, Chi Shui scorched the demon’s soul, repeating his question once more.
“Where is the plague demon?”
The hospital had already notified Chi Shui about Rong Rong’s transfer to another ward.
If not for this interrogation, Chi Shui would have been at the hospital by now.
His mood was exceedingly foul, aggravated by this demon soul delaying his plans.
“Didn’t I tell you? He’s near the children!”
“He’s where the children gather in the greatest numbers.”
“That little divine beast, the young phoenix. He will seek out the young phoenix!”
Screaming in agony, the demon soul divulged even more critical information.
While they pressed on with their harsh interrogation, under the vast night sky, Eggy, who had yet to sleep, finally succeeded.
He had managed to transform into a small dragon.
A tiny, slender dragon hatchling, no larger than a palm.
The little dragon had short, stubby claws.
Paddling with those short claws, he crawled down from the bed.
This time, he truly made it out.
As if guided by some inner sense, the little dragon began crawling in the direction of the hospital.
Moonlit: Eggy really did it! Yu Yi and Wu Jin will be so worried. Eggy took after Yuan Yuan’s personality HAHAHAHAHAHA
