Feng Qi was still looking at Feng Yuan. He gently lifted the quilt a little, then took off Feng Yuan’s pajama pants.
Just a moment ago, the little one had been throwing a tantrum, not letting Feng Qi look at his butt.
Now, with the little one asleep, he could do whatever he wanted with him.
“Good thing this little butt is so plump and soft. It won’t get damaged.”
As Feng Qi checked, he muttered under his breath.
This cub of his, the older he grew, the more different ways he could find to get himself beaten.
Sometimes, Feng Qi even admired him.
This cub had taken so many beatings, yet somehow still managed to make each and every one different, never the same.
While Feng Qi was still marveling at the little one, Li Sheng, who had just finished his bath, came out.
He was drying his hair. When he walked over to the bedside, before even looking at Feng Yuan, he leaned down and kissed Feng Qi on the face.
“I squeezed the toothpaste for you, and also filled the bathtub with water. You go in first. I’ll check on Yuan Yuan, and later I’ll wash your hair for you.”
“Got it.”
Feng Qi stood up, reached out, and pushed away Li Sheng’s face that had leaned closer: “Don’t kiss me. I haven’t washed my face yet. It’s dirty.”
“Not dirty. I want to kiss you.”
As Li Sheng spoke, he also gave a bite on Feng Qi’s lips.
When the two adults finished being affectionate, they lowered their heads and saw that the little cub on the bed had already changed sleeping positions.
Just a moment ago, the cub had been obediently clutching his blanket as he slept, but now he had already started twisting into different sleeping poses again.
Li Sheng took out his phone and snapped a few pictures of Feng Yuan. Click, click.
Feng Qi, meanwhile, took the chance to head into the bathroom.
Steam had already risen in the bathroom.
After brushing his teeth, Feng Qi rinsed his body quickly under the shower. Only then did he soak himself in the bathtub.
Unlike Feng Yuan, who was afraid of water and disliked bathing, Feng Qi himself rather enjoyed soaking in a bath.
Li Sheng had put something into the water. Feng Qi didn’t know what it was, but soaking in it felt very relieving of fatigue.
Halfway through his soak, Li Sheng came in.
Li Sheng didn’t squeeze into the bathtub.
Instead, he sat behind Feng Qi, letting Feng Qi lean back against him.
He squeezed shampoo into his palm and began to wash Feng Qi’s hair.
The atmosphere in the bathroom was quiet and beautiful.
Feng Qi closed his eyes. Even his complexion seemed to have taken on a bit of a healthy flush.
“Li Sheng, about Brother Zhu’s matter, you should go and tell your father.”
“Alright.”
Feng Qi had sealed the Gu Diao. But at the very last moment, Brother Zhu had chosen to stay with the Gu Diao.
Brother Zhu had witnessed Feng Qi’s abilities.
He could feel that, with Feng Qi in the Li family, from now on, they probably wouldn’t need anyone else’s protection anymore.
Li Heng would be able to live on well.
Brother Zhu couldn’t be bothered to show himself again and make everyone feel awkward.
He had lived together with the Gu Diao for many years. Now, being sealed together was pretty much the same as continuing their days side by side.
There was nothing bad about that.
Brother Zhu insisted on staying with the Gu Diao. And the Gu Diao, who had still been fiercely struggling before, spewing harsh words and swearing he would never let Feng Qi off, when he saw Brother Zhu walking toward him, saying he would accompany him, this violent maniac actually settled down.
With the Gu Diao sealed, the pressure in Feng Qi’s heart also lessened a little.
“Don’t keep thinking about the fierce beast anymore.”
Li Sheng massaged the acupoints on Feng Qi’s head. His technique was very professional. It made Feng Qi feel very comfortable.
“This time we’ve gained an extra helper. Next time we face the fierce beast, our chances of winning will be greater, too.”
Li Sheng comforted Feng Qi. After consoling him, Li Sheng shifted the topic.
“Feng Qi, have you ever thought about opening a Weibo account? I see other celebrities all have one.”
Feng Qi: “……”
Feng Qi was speechless: “You just said it yourself, other celebrities have one. I’m not a celebrity.”
Up until now, Feng Qi still hadn’t registered for Weibo.
He had never thought of himself as a celebrity.
His work was just taking some photos and occasionally making cameo appearances in a few crews at film and television sets. Other than that, he hadn’t done anything else.
Someone like him, he didn’t feel he could really count as a proper celebrity.
“Feng Qi, have you never searched your own name before?”
Feng Qi: “?”
Feng Qi: “Why would I search myself?”
Li Sheng massaged his scalp. His voice carried a hint of laughter.
“Feng Qi, you’ve actually gotten a bit of fame now.”
“Your fans have built a super-topic for you. Right now, it’s really popular. Oh, and I’m the admin of your super-topic.”
Feng Qi froze for a moment.
He truly hadn’t thought that he would have fans, or things like a super-topic.
“Your fans really want to see you post on Weibo. Why don’t you register one? That way you can interact with them, too.”
“Forget it. I wouldn’t even know what to say to them.”
Feng Qi did know what fans were.
Back when the royal court still existed, he had once had many followers.
He, along with the Heavenly Dragon, had been the embodiment of auspiciousness and the sacred.
In ancient times, many people believed in them.
But as time passed, with the changes of the years, there was a rise of modern science in society.
Those who believed in dragons and phoenixes grew fewer and fewer.
And those who actually worshipped them became even scarcer.
Although Feng Qi didn’t really care about this, being liked was still always something worth being happy about.
His mood visibly improved a little.
“I’ll think again about registering Weibo.”
As Feng Qi spoke, he urged Li Sheng to continue massaging him.
Hearing his urging, Li Sheng instead stopped and no longer pressed.
“Dear guest, my service comes with a fee. You haven’t paid yet, and now I’m going on strike.”
Feng Qi opened his eyes, and in them flickered a fine light.
He smiled: “Then I’ll make a payment. How much is your service, each time?”
Li Sheng lowered his head and kissed his lips.
“Each time is one kiss.”
The unscrupulous masseur used his work as an excuse to trick his guest into kissing.
The guest, having been completely taken advantage of, wanted to complain. Yet only received even worse treatment in return.
In the end, the guest retaliated by pulling the other into the water.
The tiles in the bathroom were wet all over.
The adults’ night was lingering and beautiful.
The child’s night, on the other hand, was a dream that lasted until dawn.
The next day, at the crack of dawn.
Feng Yuan was woken up by the alarm clock. He glanced at the time. It was only seven o’clock sharp.
School didn’t start until eight. This was way too early.
The little one, who hadn’t slept well, closed his eyes, about to go back to sleep.
But Li Sheng pressed the alarm with one hand, and with the other hand lifted his quilt.
“Yuan Yuan, get up and do some homework. At most, you still have half an hour for homework.”
Li Sheng dug the little one out of the blankets, dressed him, then carried him into the bathroom to forcibly “boot him up”.
“Come on, pee-pee. After you pee, go brush your teeth and wash your face.”
Feng Yuan: “……”
Feng Yuan rubbed his eyes and, slowly, sluggishly peed.
By the time he came out of the bathroom, the little head of Feng Yuan had finally cleared up.
Breakfast outside was already prepared.
Under Li Sheng’s supervision, Feng Yuan ate his breakfast.
After breakfast, it was seven-thirty.
Li Sheng took out all his homework for him.
“Do it at home for ten minutes, then continue in the car.”
With only half an hour left before they had to go to the base, only then did Feng Yuan finally start to feel anxious.
This time, he didn’t need any adult to urge him. His chubby little hands gripped the pencil, and he began writing.
He quickly finished the easiest copying exercises.
What was left were all the hard ones.
Li Sheng carried his schoolbag to the car. The homework was transferred there as well.
Feng Yuan sat in the car, clutching his pencil, his chubby little face serious as he looked at the fun math problems.
This fun math exercise was about arranging numbers.
The numbers to be arranged were 1 through 10.
For most children, this was both simple and interesting.
But for Feng Yuan, it was nothing but difficult and boring.
“Uncle, drive slower!”
As the car drew closer and closer to the base, with his fun math still unfinished, Feng Yuan’s soft, childlike voice already carried the edge of a sob.
The driver, Li Cheng, was already going as slowly as possible.
Looking at the little young master in the back seat rushing through his homework, he also felt very distressed.
“Young master, don’t be anxious. Just write as much as you can.”
Feng Yuan shook his head.
Although he didn’t like studying and didn’t like doing homework, he didn’t dare not hand it in.
The cub, driven to tears by anxiety, still hadn’t finished his homework even by the time he got out of the car.
Li Sheng, who had dropped him off, looked at his son with his little schoolbag on his back, his eyes brimming with tears. But he hardened his heart and left in the car.
There was no helping it. His son hadn’t finished the homework himself. As his Big Dad, he couldn’t help him either.
Watching the Li family’s car drive away, Li Si, who hadn’t spoken much in the car, took Feng Yuan’s little schoolbag.
“What are you crying for? It’s just homework. I’ll do it for you.”
“You go to training. Once I finish it, I’ll hand it in for you.”
These past few days, Li Si had felt like she was going to suffocate from frustration.
Not only had she been unable to see Feng Yuan at home, but yesterday, when Feng Yuan was beaten, she hadn’t stopped it either.
This string of grievances, one after another, had nearly pushed her mental state to the brink.
Now, at the base, with no adults from home around, Li Si looked at the cub in front of her and finally felt a bit of relief.
Feng Yuan, whose schoolbag had been taken away, listened to his older sister’s words. His little expression went blank.
“Big sister, you’ll help Yuan Yuan do homework?”
“Mm, I’ll do it for you. You don’t need to cry anymore.”
Li Si’s faint words moved Feng Yuan so much that he started shedding golden tears again.
“Big sister, you’re so good!”
Feng Yuan spread out his little arms and hugged his sister tightly.
When his sister lowered her head, he even puckered his lips and gave her two big kisses.
On the surface, Li Si didn’t seem to care much about the cub’s kisses.
But when the cub kissed her, the corners of her mouth still curved upward a little.
After kissing his sister, Feng Yuan’s pair of wet, round eyes stared at her without blinking.
“Yuan Yuan loves sister the most!”
The little one’s soft and tender confession was not left out.
“Brother, lower your head!”
After kissing his sister, Feng Yuan also kissed his brother.
After kissing both his brother and sister, the little one grinned widely, feeling completely satisfied.
He trotted off on his short little legs, happily running toward the morning training base.
While Feng Yuan was training at the base, back at home, Frida happened to run into Feng Qi, who had just woken up.
Feng Qi had no work today.
He was dressed in loose and comfortable casual clothes and came out to make some tea.
Frida happened to be at the tea table as well.
“Sit.”
Frida took the initiative to greet him: “Which kind of tea would you like to drink? I’ll brew it for you.”
Frida, too, was quite knowledgeable about tea.
Feng Qi casually picked one, then sat down and watched Frida make the tea.
Toward Frida, Feng Qi felt a bit unfamiliar.
But he did not reject having contact with Frida.
“About last night, I’m sorry for letting you be frightened.”
Feng Qi apologized to Frida on behalf of Feng Yuan.
Frida gently shook her head: “No need to apologize. That matter is already past.”
“Alright then.”
Feng Qi nodded. Soon after, he shifted into a new topic.
His new topic was still centered around Feng Yuan.
But the meaning behind his words carried a hint of wanting Frida to stay.
Frida understood.
Last night, Li Heng had also asked her not to leave.
Li Heng said that Feng Yuan’s arrival had already changed this family a great deal.
He wanted her to stay, to truly experience the changes in this home.
He said, the very thing she had wanted—a normal family—
Feng Yuan had already brought.
If Li Heng had said these words a few days ago, Frida would not have believed them.
But in the past two days, as she lived together with Feng Yuan, she truly felt the warmth that blood ties and family affection could bring.
“I don’t mean that you must stay and take care of Yuan Yuan.”
“What I mean is, Yuan Yuan really likes you. If he has to keep running back and forth between the villa where you live and here, I’m worried it might not be very convenient.”
“Your concern is not without reason.”
Frida spoke, affirming Feng Qi: “Yuan Yuan really likes lively atmospheres, likes the whole family living together. If he had to give up being with his other family members just for me… that would be very unfair.”
Frida was a careful person.
This time when she came back, she had already noticed—
Everyone in the old residence really liked Yuan Yuan.
She couldn’t selfishly monopolize Yuan Yuan all to herself.
“I won’t leave.”
Frida spoke her decision: “I’ve lived in this residence for many years. In fact, I’ve grown used to it here.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi smiled.
“If what you’re used to is the old version of this residence, then from now on, you might find yourself a bit unaccustomed.”
“Yuan Yuan is a little mischievous. Once he’s back, this residence will become very noisy.”
Thinking of Feng Yuan’s lively, boisterous little appearance, the smile in Frida’s eyes deepened a little.
Compared to the once quiet and desolate residence, she thought she would much rather like this noisy, bustling home now.
Over the course of a whole day, some felt time passed very quickly, while others felt it dragged slowly.
Feng Yuan kept hopping back and forth between the two.
When his homework was discovered to have been done by his sister, the teacher kept him after class. He lowered his little head, feeling that time was really dragging.
But when he then heard the teacher say he had to write a self-reflection and that it required a parent’s signature afterward, he suddenly felt time was passing way too fast.
He didn’t want school to end at all.
“Yuan Yuan, the teacher punishing you is not because of your homework, but because of your dishonest attitude.”
The teacher who taught Feng Yuan cultural studies happened to also be a lover of traditional Chinese learning.
He placed great importance on cultivating moral character in children.
In his view, children could afford not to do well in academics, but they must not lie or fake things.
So, the self-reflection, Feng Yuan had to write it.
Feng Yuan listened to the teacher’s guidance. His little head nodded.
He was the kind of cub who could listen and take things in.
If what the teacher said made sense, he would listen.
“Teacher, I’m sorry. Yuan Yuan will never fake things again.”
“Mm, the teacher believes you.”
The teacher patted Feng Yuan’s head with relief. He, too, felt fondness for this little cub in his heart.
Very soon, the dismissal bell rang.
With his schoolbag on his back, Feng Yuan walked with heavy steps to look for his brother and sister to go home together.
And on the way to find them, he also happened to give Qin Xun a call.
Qin Xun had originally had something to tell him, but sensing Feng Yuan’s mood was a little down, he decided to set that matter aside for now.
“Yuan Yuan, what’s wrong?”
“Yuan Yuan cheated. The teacher told Yuan Yuan to write a self-reflection letter. Dad has to sign it, too.”
When Feng Yuan said the last few words, he even sniffled, his little appearance visibly pitiful.
The moment Qin Xun heard it required a signature, his heart suddenly leapt.
Yesterday, Yuan Yuan had been beaten. He had heard it loud and clear!
And what he had originally planned to tell Feng Yuan also happened to be related to that beating last night.
He and Feng Yuan had played a game together last night, and they ended up matched with a game streamer. It wasn’t until today, at kindergarten, that he found out about this.
Someone had been discussing this matter, and he happened to overhear it.
The game streamer they had played with had started a livestream.
In that livestream, Feng Yuan’s crying had been recorded loud and clear.
Now, the video of Feng Yuan being beaten was spreading wildly online.
Qin Xun worried that if Feng Yuan went online and came across that video, he would be so upset he’d cry.
“Yuan Yuan, if you ask your dad to sign it, will your dad hit— cough—will your dad scold you?”
Feng Yuan said gloomily, “I don’t know.”
His little milky voice sighed in frustration.
He felt that lately he’d been so unlucky. If he wasn’t being beaten, he was on the way to being beaten.
“Sigh, if he hits, then he hits. Anyway, it’s not like he’ll beat Yuan Yuan to death.”
Qin Xun: “!”
Hearing him say that, Qin Xun got a little anxious.
“Yuan Yuan, I have a way. It can make sure you don’t have to fake things anymore, and also let your dad sign it.”
Feng Yuan: “?”
In an instant, Feng Yuan perked up his little ears. “What way!”
Qin Xun paused for a few seconds before finally telling him the method.
“You cover your dad’s eyes, then let him sign. That way, you’re not faking anything, and you’ll still get your dad’s signature.”
When Qin Xun finished saying this idea, Feng Yuan’s eyes lit right up.
“Qin Xun! How are you so smart!”
Moonlit: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

oh Qin Xun 🤣🤣🤣
