Thank you, BlueMoon, for the ko-fi~
Feng Yuan had been pestered by Qin Xun for quite a while before he finally let out a soft sigh.
“Alright, fine.”
He might as well do his homework.
After all, he really doted on Qin Xun!
If it had been his dad urging him, he definitely wouldn’t have listened.
“Here, for you.”
Feng Yuan even saved the last bit of his ice cream for Qin Xun. “It’s strawberry flavor. It’s super tasty.”
Qin Xun took the ice cream without hesitation. He never minded anything Feng Yuan had eaten from.
Of course, if it were leftovers from anyone else, he wouldn’t touch it.
For instance, Eggy was a picky eater and would often push food he didn’t like onto others.
He’d even hand over snacks he’d already taken a bite of.
The adults in his family didn’t seem to mind.
But Qin Xun did.
Deep down, Eggy was indeed a little troublemaker. He knew Qin Xun disliked his habits.
Yet, every time he saw Qin Xun nearby, he’d deliberately offer Qin Xun the food he didn’t want.
Watching Qin Xun’s barely concealed displeasure as he tried to politely refuse, Eggy would hum to himself, muttering under his breath.
“Qin Xun, I don’t know how to do this.”
“I’ll teach you.”
While finishing the ice cream Feng Yuan had left, Qin Xun helped him with his homework.
The two little ones huddled together, creating a rather heartwarming scene.
When Rong Rong came over to play and saw them busy with homework, he quietly turned and headed to the playroom.
Having spent so much time at Feng Yuan’s house, Rong Rong felt quite at ease there.
“Rong Rong, why aren’t you going to see Yuan Yuan?”
In the hallway, Li Heng, who had just stepped out of his study, happened to spot Rong Rong.
Rong Rong looked up sweetly, his voice soft and milky. “Yuan Yuan is doing homework.”
Li Heng nodded. “It’s quite a surprise that he’s actually studying. Have you finished your homework?”
Rong Rong: “Yes.”
Rong Rong was a well-behaved, diligent student who had long completed his assignments.
Not only had he finished his homework, but he had also drawn many pictures.
He had been learning painting from Grandma Fang Fang.
Grandma said that one of the paintings he made during summer vacation was full of spirit.
By the end of the year, when the art exhibition opened, his painting would be displayed there.
Listening to Rong Rong’s summary of his summer studies, Li Heng reached out and ruffled his hair.
“Rong Rong, you’re amazing.”
After praising him, Li Heng let Rong Rong go play in the playroom.
As for his own chubby grandson, he didn’t disturb him.
Since the little guy had finally settled down to do homework, he didn’t want to distract him.
Rong Rong went to the playroom alone to play.
Li Heng glanced toward his grandson’s room before going about his own business.
The family had considered hiring a tutor for Feng Yuan, but Qin Xun had objected.
Qin Xun said Feng Yuan wouldn’t like having a tutor.
He could teach Feng Yuan himself.
With Qin Xun guiding Feng Yuan’s studies, Feng Yuan had managed to scrape by in kindergarten over the past two years.
After all, the entire Li family didn’t have high expectations for Feng Yuan’s academic performance.
The Li family had produced top students for generations, with Li Si and Li Wang famously gifted with genius-level intellects.
Now, having a little underachiever in the family was seen as a refreshing change.
The little underachiever was hunched over his desk, laboring through his homework.
He could play games for 20 minutes after every hour of studying.
Lately, he had started playing a new game.
It was a recently released game called “Dan Hua Hua Mini-Games”.
All the kids in kindergarten loved playing it.
The game allowed players to make friends. Feng Yuan had even befriended someone on it.
Qin Xun didn’t interfere with his socializing, but he did check Feng Yuan’s chat logs.
Feng Yuan didn’t bother with privacy when it came to Qin Xun.
After typing his message, he would even have Qin Xun check it for typos.
“Yuan Yuan, twenty minutes are up. Time to get back to writing.”
Under Qin Xun’s supervision, Feng Yuan alternated between writing and playing, managing to complete only one-fifth of his homework.
By the afternoon, it was time to go out and check on the eggs.
Feng Yuan cheered, dragging out his little car to head outside.
This little car had been with him for two years and hadn’t been replaced yet.
Feng Yuan had a deep affection for this worn-out vehicle.
“Qin Xun, Rong Rong, get in!”
Once inside, Feng Yuan called for Qin Xun and Rong Rong to join him.
Gripping the steering wheel, he sighed in his childish voice, “Next year on my birthday, Yuan Yuan is going to change cars.”
His reason for wanting a new car wasn’t because he had grown a little older, but because his current car couldn’t fit many people.
Eggy had grown so quickly.
Now that Second and Third Eggy had arrived, Feng Yuan needed to transport everyone. This little car simply couldn’t accommodate them.
He needed a bigger car.
This time, Rong Rong didn’t sit on Feng Yuan’s lap but took a seat in the back, where the removed rear seat had left an open space.
Feng Yuan had laid out a blanket so Rong Rong could sit comfortably.
The three little ones didn’t need an adult to accompany them. They went to the Yu family on their own.
At the Yu residence.
Unlike Feng Yuan, who was a doting older brother, Eggy was currently crawling around the house playing.
He could walk, but not steadily.
His father didn’t allow him to walk.
Learning to walk too early isn’t beneficial for a child’s development.
So, whenever Eggy tried to stand and walk, Yu Yi would promptly lay him back down.
Frustrated, Eggy’s face would turn red with anger.
But in the end, the stubborn Eggy couldn’t out-stubborn his even more determined father, so he would crawl away in a huff.
One night, after a particularly intense bout of anger, Eggy got up in the middle of the night and used his crayons to draw all over his father’s face.
The next day, he received a severe spanking.
If Feng Yuan hadn’t intervened in time, his little bottom would have surely been bruised.
Before having Eggy, Yu Yi had once remarked to Wu Jin that Feng Yuan was probably the most mischievous child.
After having Eggy, he never made such a comment again.
At this moment, Eggy, whose temper was a hundred times worse than his brother’s, was playing alone.
When Feng Yuan arrived, he first greeted the adults, then called out for Eggy.
“Eggy, your big brother is here!”
Even with the arrival of Second and Third Eggy, Feng Yuan’s favorite was still Eggy.
He called out for Eggy several times but got no response.
The blue dragon, who was watching TV in the living room, replied without taking his eyes off the screen, “I think Eggy is playing near the kitchen. Baby, why don’t you go check there?”
“Okay!”
Feng Yuan hurried off on his short little legs, excitedly running toward the kitchen.
In the kitchen, he indeed found Eggy.
“Hmm.”
Upon seeing Eggy on the kitchen floor, Feng Yuan didn’t rush forward.
His little face fell into an odd silence.
Rong Rong, who was following Feng Yuan, widened his eyes in shock at the scene in the kitchen.
“Eggy.”
Even the usually slow-paced Rong Rong couldn’t help but exclaim, “What… what are you doing?”
The pots, pans, dishes, seasonings, and condiments on the kitchen counter were out of Eggy’s reach.
But the kitchen cabinets contained rice, flour, and oil.
At that moment, the entire kitchen floor was covered in flour and oil.
Covered in flour, Eggy sat in a mixture of oil and dough, kneading it with his little hands.
There was also an unused small pot in the cabinet, which he had managed to pull out.
He poured half a bowl of oil and flour into the pot.
When he saw his brother and Rong Rong approaching, Eggy tilted his little face up and greeted them with an enthusiastic smile.
“Gogo!”
Eggy called out “Gogo” while glancing at the pot in his hands.
He babbled a string of words, but no one could make out what he was saying.
However, Feng Yuan roughly understood his meaning—
“Gogo, Eggy is cooking for you!”
Feng Yuan sometimes enjoyed cooking, and Eggy had taken note of it.
So now, he was trying to cook for his brother, too.
Feng Yuan was touched by Eggy’s gesture. But seeing the little one covered in oil and flour, he hesitated to move closer.
The outfit he was wearing today was a white set with a cartoon pattern.
It was bought by his sister, and he adored it.
“Eggy, cooking isn’t done like this.”
Feng Yuan stood outside the kitchen, speaking in a serious tone. “This isn’t how you cook.”
It was clearly a recipe for trouble.
Hearing his brother’s words, Eggy shook the pot indignantly.
“Food! Food! Egg!”
He alternated between saying “food” and “egg”.
Rong Rong paused for a moment before tugging at Feng Yuan’s sleeve.
“Yuan Yuan, I think Eggy is saying there’s an egg in the pot…”
Feng Yuan: “?”
Feng Yuan’s expression slowly froze.
A sudden thought flashed through his mind.
Qin Xun, who had been silent all along, also turned his gaze to the pot in Eggy’s hands after hearing Rong Rong’s guess.
Feng Yuan’s little voice trembled slightly.
“Eggy, you… you didn’t put an egg in the pot, did you?”
Eggy grinned widely and nodded emphatically.
Though his words were unclear, his nods and shakes were unmistakable.
Seeing him nod, Feng Yuan nearly fainted on the spot.
“Eggy!”
Feng Yuan’s voice continued to tremble. “Did you put Second Eggy and Third Eggy in there?!”
Eggy’s grin widened even more.
Feng Yuan: “!!!”
At this point, Feng Yuan could no longer care about getting dirty.
He rushed into the kitchen in a panic.
Oil had spilled all over the floor. As soon as Feng Yuan stepped on it, his chubby little body slipped and fell.
Then, with a swift slide—
He slid straight toward Eggy.
Eggy, who had been happily holding the pot and grinning, was sent flying by his brother’s accidental slide-tackle.
With a loud crash, before Eggy could even cry, Feng Yuan started wailing.
He wasn’t crying because he was hurt.
He was terrified.
Not only had he sent Eggy flying, but he had also kicked the pot away.
In one fell swoop, he had sent two eggs and a baby flying!
Feng Yuan’s crying and the commotion in the kitchen finally attracted the adults.
It wasn’t that the adults weren’t watching Eggy, but the little one had too much energy and didn’t like having adults constantly hovering over him.
If he noticed the adults sticking too close, he would throw a tantrum.
So, after confirming the area where he was playing at home, the adults would keep their distance.
Hearing the noise, they hurried over.
Yu Lian and Fang Fang weren’t home, and Wu Jin had gone out to buy snacks for Yu Yi.
The ones who arrived upon hearing the noise were the brothers, Yu Yi and Yu Ye.
As they walked over, they were in no hurry and even had time to chat.
Yu Yi sighed. “Ah, Eggy must have caused trouble again.”
Yu Ye raised an eyebrow. “From the sound of it, I think it’s Yuan Yuan crying.”
“It seems like it’s Yuan Yuan.”
Yu Yi took a closer look, then quickened his pace.
The two brothers hurried over, with Yu Ye purely there to watch the commotion.
Chi Rong was resting. Yu Ye had just finished handling some work matters and was ready to relax.
When the two arrived at the kitchen, the blue dragon was already there.
Looking at the mess all over the floor, the blue dragon had no idea where to start.
Yu Yi’s arrival made the blue dragon instinctively shield Eggy.
“Yu Yi, Eggy didn’t do it on purpose!”
“You already scolded him yesterday.”
The blue dragon tried his best to protect Eggy, while Yu Yi, seeing the kitchen in such a state, was on the verge of fainting.
“Eggy, come out here right now!”
“Yuan Yuan, don’t cry. Let your godfather take a look.”
Feng Yuan had already gotten up from the floor and retrieved the two eggs from the pot.
The slightly larger Second Eggy, for some reason, seemed to have a cracked shell.
Third Eggy was still quite sturdy and unharmed.
As for Eggy, who had been kicked away, he was even sturdier.
Feng Yuan held Second Eggy and Third Eggy in his arms, with Eggy sitting at his feet.
Tears were still streaming down his chubby little face.
Yu Yi waved his hand, calling Feng Yuan and Eggy over.
“What were you all doing?”
Yu Yi, the biological father, couldn’t bring himself to hug his messy son. “Come on, let’s go take a bath first.”
Both kids were dirty, with Eggy being the filthiest.
Just as Yu Yi was about to take them to the bathroom, Feng Yuan held up the two eggs.
“Godfather, Uncle, Second Eggy is cracked.”
Yu Ye, who had been watching the commotion: “…What?”
Weren’t his Second Eggy and Third Eggy supposed to be sleeping with Chi Rong?!
Yu Ye snatched the two eggs Feng Yuan was holding.
After carefully examining them, Yu Ye noticed that Second Eggy indeed had a small crack. His expression immediately fell apart.
Second Eggy had only just emerged recently and wasn’t supposed to hatch yet.
“I’m going to find Bai Ze.”
Clutching the two eggs, Yu Ye rushed out without bothering to settle the score with Eggy.
Yu Yi watched his older brother’s retreating figure, then glanced at Eggy on the floor, feeling utterly exhausted.
“Eggy, can’t you let your dad have one peaceful day?”
Why did kindergarten enrollment have to be restricted to three-year-olds?!
Yu Yi really wanted to send Eggy to kindergarten.
The two kids were taken to the bathroom.
Yu Yi didn’t let them into the bathtub but made them stand on the floor, directly spraying them with the showerhead.
Eggy was a bit difficult to wash.
Feng Yuan was slightly easier to clean.
After nearly an hour of effort in the bathroom, both kids were finally clean.
They changed their clothes and came out, just as Yu Ye, who had gone to find Bai Ze, returned.
Yu Ye came back quickly. He had run into Bai Ze not long after leaving.
Bai Ze had examined the two eggs. Although Second Eggy had a small crack, it was nothing serious.
Bai Ze even shared some knowledge about dragon eggs.
“Dragon eggs are the sturdiest eggs in the world. They rarely run into trouble.”
“The crack on Second Eggy was something he wanted himself.”
“If he didn’t want it, no one could break his shell.”
“Don’t worry.”
While Bai Ze was examining the two eggs, Second Eggy responded enthusiastically.
Only the little pink egg remained still.
Bai Ze smiled, stroking the little pink egg and saying it was just shy.
Hearing the word shy, Yu Ye breathed an almost imperceptible sigh of relief.
Good. It’s fine if he’s a bit shy.
He had been vaguely worried these past few days. Little Pink Egg’s reactions weren’t as good as Second Eggy’s. Was it because he was a bit slow?
Although the two eggs were twins, their personalities seemed quite different.
Second Eggy was very clever, reacting appropriately when needed. It was neither overly hyperactive nor socially anxious.
In contrast, Little Pink Egg’s behavior made the two dads a little concerned.
It wasn’t just that Little Pink Egg’s reactions were slower than Second Eggy’s.
When rolling around on the bed to play, he often bumped into the wall.
Looking at Little Pink Egg, Yu Ye couldn’t help but wonder…
Could this be a little dumb egg?
When the two eggs interacted with their dads, Little Pink Egg always seemed a bit dazed and disoriented.
Yu Ye, who had brought the two eggs back, saw Yuan Yuan and Eggy tidied up and moved toward him.
After a moment’s thought, he handed Second Eggy over.
“Yuan Yuan, play with Second Eggy for a while. I’ll take Third Eggy back to the room to rest.”
Little Pink Egg wasn’t as sharp as Second Eggy, so Yu Ye didn’t dare to hand him over.
Feng Yuan took Second Eggy and gave him a smacking kiss.
He nodded obediently and took Second Eggy to play.
The little ones went to the playroom.
Feng Yuan had originally intended to play properly with Second Eggy. But Second Eggy seemed to prefer playing with Qin Xun.
Qin Xun sat in the playroom, casually picking up a book to read.
Second Eggy rolled over to him. Qin Xun, seeing this, started reading the book aloud to him.
Surprisingly, Second Eggy didn’t roll away.
He nestled close to Qin Xun, as if listening to him read.
Feng Yuan found this quite fascinating.
The little ones played on their own, occasionally gathering together for some cuddles.
Such moments looked utterly relaxing.
Feng Yuan’s leisurely days continued without any major upheavals.
He officially started school, had his photos taken, met with the director, and scheduled the recording time for the show.
The director scheduled the recording quite late. It was two months after Feng Yuan started school.
At first, Feng Yuan counted the days eagerly.
But as time went on, he lost patience and eventually forgot about the show altogether.
As the weather turned cooler and the recording date for the show approached, neither Second Eggy nor Third Eggy showed any signs of hatching.
Second Eggy’s shell was cracked like a spiderweb, yet he stubbornly refused to come out.
Third Eggy’s shell hadn’t cracked at all.
After Bai Ze came to check on them, he concluded that the two eggs were going to hatch together.
Second Eggy could hatch at any time, but he was waiting for Third Eggy.
As for Third Eggy… it seemed he couldn’t break through the shell.
Normally, little dragon hatchlings rely on their own strength to break out of their shells.
But Third Eggy seemed to lack the strength. He couldn’t crack the shell open.
With no telling when the two eggs would hatch, Feng Yuan’s recording date finally arrived.
Just before filming was about to start, Feng Qi and Bo Han both submitted requests to the production team.
“Could our child’s participating parent be changed for this show?”
Feng Qi and Bo Han had more urgent matters to attend to.
So, the parent accompanying the child on the show would likely have to be swapped.
When the director received their requests, he was overjoyed.
He didn’t know much about Bo Han’s partner, but he certainly knew who Feng Qi’s partner was!
If this person could appear on his show, he’d be laughing in his dreams.
“Yes, yes! The parent can be changed! We welcome it!”
The director approved the parent change request immediately.
