To let Dad sign in the exact right place, Feng Yuan deliberately held Dad’s hand and helped him find the spot.
“Dad, make the writing look pretty, okay?”
Feng Yuan looked at Dad’s hand, still wanting Dad to write more nicely.
The smile hanging at the corner of Feng Yuan’s lips disappeared right after he spoke that first sentence.
Holding the pen without moving, he asked Feng Yuan to confirm: “It’s signed here, right?”
Feng Yuan: “Mhm!”
Feng Qi: “……”
Feng Qi paused for a few seconds. Once he finished writing his name, he lifted his hand to remove the silk scarf and said lightly: “Let me see how it looks.”
While he was taking off the scarf, Feng Yuan’s chubby little hand had already hurriedly pulled the letter of confession away.
“It looks really pretty!”
Feng Yuan praised Daddy in an extra loud childish voice, then shifted the topic: “Dad, Yuan Yuan will also write you a name!”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan clutched the pen and bent his head down to write his own name for Dad.
But the way he wrote his name was a bit lazy: “Feng 0.”
Feng Qi: “?”
Looking at the little circle he drew, Feng Qi asked: “This is your name?”
Feng Yuan proudly lifted his chin: “That’s right, this is a circle, it’s the Yuan of Yuan Yuan!”
Feng Qi: “……”
The corner of Feng Qi’s mouth twitched: “Rewrite it for me.”
Feng Yuan whined and grumbled, still not really wanting to rewrite it.
In his own opinion, this signature was both easy to write and very cool.
But under Feng Qi’s stare, he still had to rewrite his name properly.
Pressed by Dad’s authority, Feng Yuan could only obediently write his full name.
When he got to writing the “Yuan” character, his soft, childish voice muttered under his breath.
“This name is hard to write.”
Every time he had to write his name, he didn’t feel like being called Feng Yuan. He wanted to be called Feng Yi instead.
Yi was so much easier to write. Just one horizontal stroke, and it was done.
After Feng Yuan finally finished writing his name, he didn’t want to stay in the study any longer.
“Dad, Yuan Yuan wants to go back to the bedroom.”
The letter of confession that Feng Qi had just signed was already stuffed into Feng Yuan’s pocket.
Now that his serious business was done, he suddenly lost all interest in the study.
Feng Qi fixed his eyes on the little face, especially on those chubby little hands that had slipped into his pocket three times in a single minute.
He replied: “Alright then. It’s getting late anyway, you should rest.”
Feng Yuan stretched out his little arms, wanting a hug.
As Feng Qi’s large hand reached over, just at the moment it was about to wrap around his waist, the hand suddenly changed direction.
Feng Yuan: “!”
Feng Yuan’s eyes widened, staring in shock as the letter of confession he had stuffed into his pocket was pulled out by Dad.
He froze for a few seconds, then turned his head, about to run.
But Feng Qi held the letter of confession in one hand and pressed him down with the other.
“Don’t run.”
“Let me see what it is you had me sign.”
As Feng Qi spoke, he flicked the letter of confession open.
Feng Yuan was completely flustered.
He couldn’t run away. His chubby little hands tried to grab the letter back, but with just one glance from Dad, his lips pouted. He could only obediently withdraw his hands.
Very soon.
Feng Qi finished reading the letter of confession.
He folded it neatly, put it away, then set the little one back down.
“Making your sister do your homework? And even tricking Dad into signing?”
Feng Yuan: “……”
After being set down, Feng Yuan tugged at Feng Qi’s clothes, his soft childish voice carrying a trace of hope.
“Dad loves Yuan Yuan, right?”
Tonight, Feng Qi really did love his son.
On the condition that he hadn’t discovered this letter of confession.
Looking at the little one who still held onto hope, he gave a faint smile: “Bend over.”
The moment Feng Yuan heard those two words, the hope in his eyes instantly vanished.
He glanced at the chair beside him. While dawdling his way over to lie down, he still turned his head back, pitifully pleading: “Yuan Yuan already got spanked yesterday.”
How could a child get spanked every single day!
Feng Qi didn’t want to hit him either.
Last night’s punishment, he had already spared Feng Yuan from it because of fatherly love.
But this little one just had to push it, forcing him, at the very peak of tonight’s fatherly affection, to once again provoke him with that signature.
Feng Qi took a deep breath and, in the next second, pulled down the little one’s pants.
“Pa——”
The spanking Feng Yuan had been spared from last night was now made up for.
Feng Yuan let out a loud wail as the smack landed.
While crying, he also shouted: “Yuan Yuan is getting spanked again!”
Yesterday, Grandpa spanked him. Today, Dad spanked him. Who knew who would be spanking him tomorrow!
In just two days, Feng Yuan had already suffered two rounds of spanking. He bawled at the top of his lungs.
As he cried and cried, no one knew what little drama was suddenly playing out inside his small head.
All of a sudden, he forced himself to stop crying.
Feng Qi: “?”
Feng Qi paused his hand, pulled the little one who had suddenly stifled his sobs up, wanting to see what kind of nonsense he was up to now.
“Why aren’t you crying anymore?”
“Yuan Yuan won’t cry anymore!”
Pulled up by Dad, the little one, with his bare little bottom, had tears still shimmering in his eyes. His chubby face was tightly stiff, and his little fists were clenched.
Meeting Dad’s gaze, he choked out in his childish voice, declaring—
“From now on, Yuan Yuan will never cry again.”
Feng Qi didn’t believe it.
The little one who had sworn not to cry still had more to say. Clenching his pudgy fists tighter, he shouted even louder:
“From now on, Yuan Yuan won’t laugh either!”
The old Yuan Yuan had already, under the constant spankings, turned dark!
Feng Yuan swore that from now on, he would be a cold and ruthless little one.
Wasn’t Dad always wanting Yuan Yuan to be obedient, to love studying, and not cause trouble!
Fine!
Feng Yuan swore he would become a little one who only knew how to study, just like a little robot!
Feng Qi: “……”
Looking at the darkened little one before him, Feng Qi stared and stared, then suddenly turned his body around.
Still standing in place, Feng Yuan watched as Dad turned his back and then saw his shoulders start to shake violently.
His own wet little “cold” face softened for a second, but then immediately tensed back up.
“Dad, even if you cry, it’s no use. Yuan Yuan has already decided. From now on, I’ll just be a little one who only studies with no feelings at all!”
Feng Qi’s shoulders shook even harder.
Seeing how badly he was shaking, Feng Yuan tugged at his pants with his chubby little hand, wanting to walk over and check.
But just as he came closer, Feng Qi turned away again.
And so, father and son spun in circles like this.
After turning for quite a while, Feng Qi finally turned back around.
Feng Yuan lifted his chubby little face, his sharp gaze sweeping across Feng Qi’s face.
As expected!
There were tears in Dad’s eyes!
Dad must be regretting spanking him!
Feng Yuan looked at the tears in Dad’s eyes, but still didn’t soften.
This time, he had to make Dad see just how terrifying it was to have a little one who only studied but would never smile again!
Feng Qi cleared his throat, suppressing the cough that was rising in his chest.
He bent down, pulled the pants back onto the darkened little one, and then carried him back to the bedroom.
Inside the bedroom, Li Sheng had already tidied up and had even changed the bedding set on the bed.
“It’s Ka Tu Tu!”
Seeing the little dinosaurs on the bedding set, Feng Yuan’s small face reflexively showed a smile. But the very next second, it disappeared again.
He forced himself to keep a stiff face as Dad placed him on the bed.
Li Sheng, seeing him lying on the bed, quickly stripped off his clothes in a few swift moves.
The little one’s clothes were dirty. He couldn’t be allowed to roll around on the bed with them.
With his clothes pulled off, the palm prints on his bottom were revealed.
Li Sheng was just about to ask when Feng Qi said a few words about having something to do and left the bedroom.
The moment he stepped out, he leaned against the wall and burst into laughter.
This darkened little one was really about to make him die from laughing.
Just as he was laughing, Li Heng walked over.
Li Heng looked at him with a face full of confusion, wanting to ask what was going on.
When Feng Qi saw him coming, he quickly asked: “Uncle Li, is there surveillance in the study?”
Li Heng nodded: “Yes.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi immediately said, “Could you take me to have a look? I want to transfer the video from the study just now onto my phone. That way, you can also see it.”
Li Heng: “Alright.”
Li Heng had always treated Feng Qi with a rather good attitude.
The two of them went to retrieve the video from the study.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Li Sheng casually tossed Feng Yuan’s dirty clothes into the laundry basket, then used his big hand to tickle Feng Yuan’s little body.
He patted Feng Yuan’s round, bulging belly from all the food, and deliberately asked: “Is this watermelon ripe yet?”
Feng Yuan covered his belly, coldly answering: “Not ripe!”
Li Sheng raised an eyebrow: “I don’t believe that.”
Li Sheng pretended to cut open the watermelon, while Feng Yuan covered his belly, climbing further in with his chubby bare bottom.
The big one and the little one chased each other around by the bedside.
Feng Yuan almost burst out laughing several times, but he stubbornly held it in.
After tickling the little belly for a while, Li Sheng withdrew his hand, ready to stop playing.
But Feng Yuan got even more energetic.
He kicked at Li Sheng with his little chubby feet. Just when Li Sheng reached to grab those chubby feet, Feng Yuan scrambled away again to dodge.
The big one and the little one made a racket without end.
In the end, it was Li Sheng who worried that the little one would get too wound up and then not be able to fall asleep, so he forcibly pulled him over.
“No more fussing, Yuan Yuan. Come on, time for a bath and then bed.”
The bare-bottomed Feng Yuan was carried off.
In the bathroom, both Feng Yuan’s and Feng Qi’s toothbrushes already had toothpaste squeezed onto them.
Li Sheng handed Feng Yuan’s toothbrush to him.
After brushing his teeth, Feng Yuan even opened his mouth wide for Big Dad to smell.
“Mhm, all clean.”
Li Sheng picked him up and placed him in the bathtub.
The water in the tub wasn’t filled very deeply.
Feng Yuan was so tiny. If they used the amount of water adults soaked in, it would drown him completely.
“Yuan Yuan, in your training, when do you start learning to swim?”
Li Sheng asked casually.
He knew Feng Qi really wanted Feng Yuan to learn how to swim.
Feng Yuan was afraid of water.
But Feng Qi still wanted the little one to master this skill.
Last time, when Feng Qi was looking at his phone, he had accidentally come across a piece of news.
A primary school student had drowned on his way home from school.
The news even had a picture attached. In that picture, there was nothing but the child’s clothes.
When Feng Qi saw that news and the picture, his expression completely changed.
And Li Sheng had told Feng Qi that situations like that were actually quite common.
Every year, many young children drown.
Kids were playful. Because they were still little, they were daring, not knowing the weight of things.
Their chances of drowning were very high.
After listening to Li Sheng, Feng Qi became determined for Feng Yuan learning to swim.
If it weren’t for the fact that the training base would teach it, Feng Qi would have already been planning to hire a coach himself to give Feng Yuan swimming lessons.
“I don’t know.”
Feng Yuan sat in the water, head lowered as he fiddled with his new toy.
His new toy was color-changing paper. When put into water, the paper would change color.
He was fully absorbed in playing with his toy, which also allowed Li Sheng to properly give him a bath.
Very soon.
Feng Yuan was washed clean and had body lotion applied.
His lotion was an apple-scented children’s body lotion.
This particular lotion had been given by Li Si.
Li Si’s grandfather, Robert, not only owned many orchards but also many factories.
Among those factories, quite a few produced children’s products.
And Robert’s reason for opening those factories was to provide the healthiest products for his grandchildren.
After applying the lotion to Feng Yuan, Li Sheng didn’t rush to go look for Feng Qi.
He tucked the little one snugly into the quilt, then lay down beside him.
“Yuan Yuan, close your eyes. Big Dad will put you to sleep.”
Feng Yuan had just finished his bath. He wasn’t sleepy yet.
He didn’t want to sleep.
But Li Sheng had already begun patting him gently.
To deal with a little one who wouldn’t go to sleep, he would either tell him short stories in English or give him a few math problems.
This way, it never took long before the little one would fall asleep, snoring away.
Under the soothing lull of Li Sheng’s deep, magnetic voice as he told the English story, Feng Yuan, the little one who had been “darkened” for half a day, finally closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
The little one had sworn before bed that he would never laugh again, but after falling asleep, who knew what kind of dream he had? His little mouth grinned happily in his sleep.
After coaxing him to sleep, Li Sheng finally got up to look for Feng Qi.
At the same time, Feng Qi happened to be coming back with the video in hand.
“Yuan Yuan’s asleep?”
Feng Qi spotted the little one who had been lulled to sleep at a glance.
With a smile on his face, he waved his phone at Li Sheng: “I’ve got something good to show you. Once you see it, you’ll definitely laugh yourself to death.”
“No rush.”
Li Sheng wasn’t the least bit anxious about the good thing Feng Qi wanted to show him.
He stood up and walked closer to Feng Qi.
“Right now, I want to see another good thing more.”
Feng Qi: “?”
Feng Qi: “What?”
The moment the words left Feng Qi’s mouth, he saw Li Sheng take out a red ribbon.
This red ribbon wasn’t the one from the study.
No one knew when Li Sheng had bought it.
Holding the ribbon, he gently covered Feng Qi’s eyes.
“From now on, you’re not allowed to take it off.”
Feng Qi: “……”
Feng Qi didn’t really want to play this kind of game.
He vaguely felt that if it really started, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
“Don’t…”
Feng Qi lowered his voice: “Yuan Yuan’s still here, you’ll wake him up.”
“No, I won’t.”
Li Sheng’s large hand gripped Feng Qi’s waist, his handsome face leaning in close, his breath brushing against Feng Qi’s skin.
Feng Qi wanted to dodge, but then heard Li Sheng add, “That little one sleeps like a piglet, so soundly.”
And Li Sheng didn’t stop at that explanation.
He deliberately bit Feng Qi’s earlobe, his voice low: “Besides, if you keep your voice down, you won’t wake him.”
Feng Qi: “Get lost.”
Feng Qi reached out to push him, unwilling to cooperate.
But when it came to this sort of thing, Li Sheng knew exactly how to handle him.
In the bedroom, the little piglet was fast asleep, while the grown-ups had gone into the bathroom…
On the other side.
Yu Yi, whose nightlife had finally quieted down a bit, was holding his phone and laughing out loud.
“Wu Jin, come here and listen.”
Leaning against the headboard, Yu Yi held his phone in one hand while stretching out his foot to nudge Wu Jin’s face.
His foot pressed against Wu Jin’s face, but Wu Jin didn’t mind. Instead, he turned his head and kissed Yu Yi’s ankle.
There was a mole on Yu Yi’s ankle. Wu Jin liked it very much, said it looked good.
“Don’t mess with me.”
When his ankle was kissed, Yu Yi pulled his foot back as if shocked by electricity: “I’m not fooling around with you tonight!”
They were still at home now. Last night, Yu Yi hadn’t been able to resist messing around with Wu Jin. Today, he had almost slipped up in front of his parents.
He didn’t dare to be reckless again.
Right now, his parents were always going on about grandchildren, talking about Yuan Yuan, and even wanted to set him up on blind dates.
Yu Yi knew his own orientation. He wouldn’t go on blind dates with girls. Even more so, he wouldn’t deceive a girl just for the sake of having a child.
But since his parents were getting old, he didn’t dare come out directly either.
So for now, he could only drag things out like this.
“Hurry up and come listen to this video. It’s gone super viral online.”
Yu Yi urged Wu Jin to come listen: “Come on! You were nowhere to be found during the day, and now at night you won’t even properly keep me company. I think you don’t want to live anymore.”
Yu Yi muttered and urged impatiently.
The video he wanted Wu Jin to watch, the little protagonist in it was exactly the little darling his parents were always longing for.
Just now, he had almost laughed himself to death listening to it.
Pressed by his urging, Wu Jin could only suppress the turmoil in his chest and walk over.
“I want to be with you.”
Wu Jin came over, held Yu Yi tightly in his arms, and his voice was a little muffled: “Don’t say things like that. I don’t want to hear it.”
Yu Yi: “……”
Yu Yi coughed twice, then raised his hand, trying to soothe him like coaxing a sad big dog, rubbing his head: “Alright, I was joking. If I don’t spend my life with you, who else would I spend it with?”
Wu Jin had a handsome face that attracted admirers everywhere. Whenever he went out, both men and women fell for him.
But in reality, this guy was unbelievably pure.
Back when Yu Yi had just started dating him, the two of them would sometimes have little quarrels.
Yu Yi had no filter on his mouth.
Whenever emotions flared up, anything could come out of his lips.
Things like “let’s break up” or “I never loved you at all”, he’d throw those out, too.
And when Wu Jin heard those words, he took them completely seriously.
Taking them seriously, Wu Jin’s eyes would instantly redden, tears falling as he lost control and pinned Yu Yi down on the bed.
Wu Jin’s stamina was already frightening on normal days.
After being provoked, he became even more ruthless, not acting like a human at all.
Yu Yi had learned his lesson. After suffering through it several times, he finally managed to keep his mouth in check.
“Come, listen. Our Yuan Yuan is blowing up online.”
Yu Yi turned on the speaker of his phone, letting Wu Jin hear the video he himself had already listened to three times in a row.
