Thank you, BlueMoon, for the ko-fi~
After receiving permission, Feng Yuan threw himself into the unfamiliar auntie’s arms and burst into tears.
He cried in her embrace for several minutes.
A few minutes later, he wiped his tears and indicated that he was done crying.
He pulled away from the auntie’s arms and pressed the button to light up his smartwatch.
There were several missed calls on the watch.
All of them were from his big dad.
While redialing the number, Feng Yuan went to look for the train police.
After some effort, father and son were finally reunited.
Li Sheng picked up his son and held him tightly.
“Yuan Yuan, are you hurt? Did you get hit during the fight earlier?”
On his way over, Li Sheng had already heard about his son’s encounter with the hooligan.
Even though he knew his son’s capabilities, he was still shocked.
The train police officer who helped Feng Yuan find his father couldn’t stop praising him.
“Yuan Yuan is very brave. Despite being so young, he dared to confront an adult. Such courage is truly rare.”
In modern society, more and more people prefer not to get involved in others’ affairs.
Because meddling often brings a heap of trouble.
So, to avoid trouble, many people turn a blind eye even when they witness something wrong.
But Feng Yuan, this little one, is exceptionally righteous and courageous.
Not only did the train police officer praise Feng Yuan, but he also took a photo of him as a keepsake.
After Feng Yuan was taken away by his big dad, the officer posted Feng Yuan’s photo along with an edited caption on his work account.
Feng Yuan, having done a good deed, was carried away in his big dad’s arms.
The subway was crowded.
Feng Yuan buried his little face in his big dad’s neck and spoke to him.
“Yuan Yuan was a little scared.”
After dealing with the hooligan and not seeing his big dad, Feng Yuan knew he could find him, but he still felt a bit afraid at the time.
Li Sheng comfortingly patted his back and said softly, “Big Dad knows.”
“Next time we take the subway, we’ll wear anti-lost bracelets, okay?”
“Mm!”
Feng Yuan nodded in agreement.
Father and son then headed to the busiest and most bustling street in the city.
Feng Yuan found a stationery store and went in to buy a greeting card and a pen.
The greeting card was actually a bit expensive.
But the shop owner sold it to Feng Yuan at a discount.
In other words, Feng Yuan managed to get a lower price by flashing his adorable little face.
The shop owner’s wife recognized him and knew he was a child star.
After leaving the stationery store, Li Sheng carried Feng Yuan and strolled around the snack street.
They bought quite a few local snacks.
After buying some for his son, Li Sheng didn’t forget to get a portion for Rong Rong as well.
They didn’t linger too long before returning to the hotel.
As soon as they got back, Feng Yuan started writing the greeting card, while Rong Rong sat beside him, holding the snacks and watching him write.
Eggy was there, too.
Eggy was drooling as he watched Rong Rong.
The snacks from outside had a lot of seasoning. Eggy, who hadn’t even reached his first birthday, was too young to eat them.
But Eggy was very greedy.
At this point, he craved any food other than formula milk.
Even during regular meals, when he was already sucking on his bottle, the adults couldn’t let their guard down around him.
Because this little one would snatch food.
He didn’t care whether the food on the table was hot or spicy. His chubby little hands would strike like lightning when the adults weren’t paying attention.
He snatched food so fast that once he grabbed a still-steaming corn cob. His little hand turned red from the heat, but he refused to let go.
This time, however, Eggy didn’t try to snatch the snacks Rong Rong was eating.
He was just honestly drooling.
“Rong Rong, writing is so hard.”
Feng Yuan was already in the middle class of kindergarten, but he still didn’t know how to write many characters.
For the first draft of this invitation he was writing, Rong Rong had helped him look up all the characters in the dictionary.
Now he only needed to copy them, just changing the names while copying.
“Yuan Yuan, I can write it.”
Rong Rong said to Feng Yuan while chewing on takoyaki.
He could help Feng Yuan copy it.
Feng Yuan shook his head and didn’t agree: “I want to write it myself.”
He wanted to do it personally. That would show sincerity!
Feng Yuan, who used to struggle even with writing homework, now seriously spent a full hour writing the cards.
Fortunately, he wasn’t inviting many people. Otherwise, an hour definitely wouldn’t have been enough.
“Done!”
After finishing the last card, Feng Yuan happily got up from the floor, hugged Eggy, and gave him a big kiss.
He had been writing the cards while sitting in front of the sofa. It was a not-so-great writing habit that, luckily, the adults hadn’t noticed.
“We’ll set up the tables tonight!”
With the cards finished, it was time to officially set up the tables.
There was an area on the beach where they could eat.
Feng Yuan planned to prepare the food in the hotel and then bring it to the beach to eat.
He had already thought it through: the gift money he received would be split evenly with Rong Rong!
Because Rong Rong had also helped build the sandcastle.
“Yuan Yuan, are you going out to play now?”
“No. Let’s think about what dishes to make tonight!”
Feng Yuan was incredibly busy today and had no time to go out and play.
The busy little chubby kid solemnly handed out the cards to everyone in the family during lunch.
After giving them to his family, he saved a few to give to his little followers in the sea in the afternoon.
To prepare for the evening setup, Feng Yuan didn’t even take a nap after lunch.
Li Sheng forced himself to play with him for a while.
Li Sheng had originally intended to lull him to sleep, but the little guy only grew more energetic and showed no signs of sleeping.
Instead, Li Sheng ended up falling asleep himself.
His schedule was always packed. He had to spend time with Feng Qi, manage work, and send people to search for medicine.
In short, Li Sheng hardly ever relaxed.
He sat on the sofa, gradually slumped over, and closed his eyes.
Feng Yuan was in the middle of unpacking his toy car.
When he looked up, he saw his big dad’s sleeping face.
“Hmm.”
The little guy tossed the toy car aside, pouted, and leaned over to kiss his big dad on the cheek.
After kissing his big dad, he covered him with a blanket.
Eggy, who also wasn’t sleeping, tried to crawl over to play with him, but Feng Yuan carried him away.
“Don’t wake Big Dad up.”
Feng Yuan had a loving filter for Eggy. But he was well aware that Eggy had a tendency to cause trouble.
He was afraid Eggy would wake his big dad up.
The two brothers moved elsewhere to play. Feng Yuan brought out a lot of vegetables and started sorting them with Eggy.
Eggy grabbed a vegetable with his little hand and tried to put it in his mouth.
It was a chili pepper.
Feng Yuan was startled: “Eggy, put it down. It’s spicy!”
Eggy’s hand was a second faster than Feng Yuan’s little voice.
By the time Feng Yuan reached out to grab the chili pepper, Eggy had already taken a bite.
It was a green chili pepper. It’s mildly spicy.
A child’s taste buds are different from an adult’s. What was mildly spicy to an adult was devilishly spicy to Eggy.
Instantly, his little face turned bright red from the spiciness.
Feng Yuan quickly went to get him some water.
Eggy held his water cup and gulped down the entire contents in one go.
Even after drinking, he still felt the spiciness.
Seeing this, Feng Yuan prepared another bottle of milk for him to soothe the taste.
After a while of fussing, Eggy finally felt better.
His eyes were red, but he didn’t cry.
It was only because Feng Yuan was watching him that he stayed strong and held back his tears.
If it had been any other adult around, he would have wailed as if the sky were falling.
“Ah, Eggy, you’d better not help with picking vegetables. Go play with Rong Rong, or you can look for Second Eggy and Third Eggy, too.”
Second Eggy and Third Eggy were still in Chi Rong’s belly, but the brothers often went to touch Chi Rong’s stomach and greet the two unborn babies.
Second Eggy and Third Eggy really liked them.
Whenever the brothers went to say hello, Second Eggy and Third Eggy would respond.
Even though Feng Yuan hadn’t met Second Eggy and Third Eggy yet, he had already decided in his heart that they were two good eggs.
“Okay!”
Eggy, who could speak simple words, listened to his brother and scurried away on all fours.
He wasn’t steady on his feet yet, so he mostly crawled.
He crawled off, though it was unclear whether he was heading to find Chi Rong or Rong Rong.
After he crawled away, Feng Yuan finally had one less thing to worry about.
Soon, it was three in the afternoon.
Feng Yuan had already started cooking.
The invitations sent to the sea were delivered by Feng Yuan’s request, with Rong Rong and Eggy in charge.
Rong Rong tied a very long rope around Eggy’s little wrist.
Then, he tossed Eggy into the sea.
Clutching the invitations in his two small hands, Eggy followed the scent and found the fish he had beaten up the day before.
He handed out the invitations one by one.
Some fish tried to swim away at the sight of him, but with his chubby little legs kicking through the water, he easily caught the fleeing fish.
For those fish that tried to escape, Eggy would ball up his little fists, give them two solid thumps, and then stuff the invitation into their mouths.
He spent half the day in the sea, beating up the fish all over again.
In the end, it was only when Rong Rong tugged hard on the rope that he agreed to come back.
Time passed bit by bit.
As dusk began to show its first signs, Feng Yuan’s little dinner table was ready for the feast.
Whether it was from the exhaustion of cooking or the excitement, the little one’s cheeks were flushed red, like a ripe cherry tomato.
“Dad, uncles, grandpas, please eat as much as you like!”
“Yuan Yuan made lots of food!”
“Alright, we’ll eat plenty. Yuan Yuan, here, this is the gift money from your uncle.”
Li Ting was the first to contribute, generously giving Feng Yuan twenty yuan.
When Feng Yuan received the twenty yuan, his eyes sparkled even brighter.
He first returned the twenty yuan to his big dad.
Seeing him return the money, Li Sheng gave him back his IOU.
After settling his debt, whatever came next was pure profit!
His chubby little hands swiftly collected the money. Once all of it was gathered, he asked Rong Rong to count it for him.
“145 yuan.”
Rong Rong told Feng Yuan the total amount.
Feng Yuan asked Rong Rong to split the money directly.
Rong Rong gave 73 to Feng Yuan and kept 72 for himself.
He had wanted to give Feng Yuan a larger share, but Feng Yuan refused.
After dividing the money, Feng Yuan went back to cooking.
Meanwhile, the fish that had been waiting for Feng Yuan all this time were still eagerly watching from the shore.
Feng Yuan hadn’t set up a table in the sea yet.
They weren’t waiting for the feast. They were waiting to see Feng Yuan.
Among the many dishes Feng Yuan had prepared, seafood made up a large portion.
Since they lived by the sea now, it was convenient to have seafood.
Since yesterday, Chi Rong had been feeling a bit unwell in his stomach.
He found it hard to describe exactly what this discomfort felt like.
While everyone was still eating, Chi Rong saw Feng Yuan carrying two buckets toward the seaside. He quickly stood up and went after Feng Yuan.
“Yu Ye, I’m going with Yuan Yuan to check out the sea. You can keep eating.”
With that, Chi Rong strode quickly to catch up with Feng Yuan.
Once he reached Feng Yuan, he tried to take one of the buckets from him.
Feng Yuan refused: “They’re heavy.”
Both buckets were quite heavy. Feng Yuan didn’t dare let Uncle Chi Rong carry them.
Although a dragon’s body is strong and not too fragile even when carrying eggs, thinking of his Second Eggy and Third Eggy, Feng Yuan decided it was better to be safe.
He carried the buckets himself while chatting with Chi Rong.
“Uncle Chi Rong, why did you come? Have you finished eating?”
“I’m not hungry,” Chi Rong replied. “I feel a bit stifled, so I wanted to go into the sea with you to get some fresh air.”
“Okay then,” Feng Yuan nodded. “Let’s go feed the fish together.”
The food in Feng Yuan’s buckets was all for the fish.
They went into the sea together. Feng Yuan gathered all the fish before starting to feed them.
While eating, the fish chattered noisily, telling Feng Yuan about the merfolk’s affairs.
Feng Yuan listened attentively.
As he stayed with the fish, Chi Rong, who had come with him, found that his discomfort didn’t ease even after entering the sea.
In fact, he felt even worse.
Not wanting to disturb the busy Feng Yuan, Chi Rong transformed into his red dragon form and began swimming around in the sea.
As he swam, he discovered several smooth, round pearls.
The surfaces of these pearls faintly shimmered with a colorful glow.
They were very beautiful.
Unable to resist the allure of pearls, the red dragon followed the trail of small pearls, swimming farther and farther away.
Soon, he swam out of sight.
When Feng Yuan finished listening to the fish and turned around, he realized the red dragon was gone.
