Li Sheng’s cold and stern face had long been softened by the constant smiles brought on by his own son.
He held his phone steadily in his large hand, continuing to record the video.
Soon.
The little one, holding up his tiny hands and feet, could no longer keep them raised.
The little guy’s arms and legs grew heavy and sore. With a plop, he fell onto the bed.
After holding them up for so long and still not managing, the little one ended up crying out of frustration at himself.
He opened his eyes, tears glistening within them.
Seeing him open his eyes, Li Sheng finally stopped recording. Suppressing a smile, he sat down beside him: “Yuan Yuan, you’re awake?”
Feng Yuan hadn’t wanted to wake up.
He didn’t want to do homework, nor did he want to take a bath.
But he simply couldn’t keep his tiny hands and feet raised any longer.
Li Sheng picked him up and kissed his cheek: “Good boy, we’ll sleep a little later. Big Dad will stay with you to do your homework, okay?”
“No.”
Feng Yuan pouted, feeling wronged: “Yuan Yuan has so, so much homework!”
And all of this homework was something he had asked for himself.
Thinking about what he had said to his math teacher a couple of days ago, Feng Yuan felt regret.
Studying was too scary. Homework was even scarier.
Feng Yuan decided that from now on, he would never dare to turn himself into a learning machine again.
Li Sheng was aware of the extra homework Feng Yuan had assigned to himself.
The little guy was suffering the consequences of his own doing.
Li Sheng found it amusing, but he didn’t dare to actually laugh out loud.
“Then let’s just do a little,” Li Sheng said. “You don’t have to finish everything. I’ll talk to your teacher tomorrow.”
Feng Yuan: “……”
Feng Yuan felt a bit embarrassed.
He buried his little face in the crook of Li Sheng’s neck, pouting silently.
Feng Qi took over his schoolbag, but also only let him do part of the homework.
With the support of both dads, Feng Yuan called Qin Xun again.
With everyone keeping an eye on him, he finally managed to do some homework.
Qin Xun didn’t tell Feng Yuan about his plan.
He also didn’t let Li Sheng mention it.
He wanted to give Feng Yuan a surprise.
With homework done, all that was left was brushing teeth and taking a bath.
Feng Yuan loved sweets, especially rich, sweet chocolate.
Feng Qi was very particular about his teeth.
After brushing, the little guy would reflexively open his mouth, letting his dads check his breath.
Both dads never minded anything about him.
Once everything was cleaned up, when Feng Yuan climbed into bed, he wasn’t very sleepy.
Even if he wasn’t sleepy, he still had to go to bed.
Feng Qi leaned against the headboard, holding him close, letting him lie on his chest.
Li Sheng sat beside them, reading English stories.
Only a small nightlight was left on by the bed.
Under the dim light, Feng Yuan soon began to yawn.
Before long, the little guy’s breathing became steady again.
Feng Qi almost felt sleepy himself, lulled by Li Sheng’s story.
He gently put the little one down and lay back himself.
Li Sheng turned off the light and then wrapped Feng Qi in his arms.
“Good night.”
This ordinary yet warm night slowly passed by with the three of them cuddled together.
The next day.
In the morning, Feng Yuan finally resumed his kissing duties.
Pouting his little lips, he gave Grandpa six kisses all at once!
Two kisses a day. Yuan Yuan owed three days’ worth!
Grandpa, who received all six kisses, had his face covered in little traces of saliva, but his eyes were gentle.
After receiving the kisses, Li Wei even turned the tables, playfully nibbling on Feng Yuan’s little baby fat.
“My Yuan Yuan is so soft.”
Li Wei sucked on Feng Yuan’s little baby fat, reluctant to let go.
Feng Yuan wanted to run away from Auntie’s kisses.
Recently, Li Wei had been spending noticeably less time at home.
She was once again enjoying life outside and, in the meantime, had started a fashion brand.
Everything in her life and career was going smoothly.
Only in matters of love had things been making her feel a little sick lately.
Ruskin’s wedding hadn’t taken place as planned. His family business had now fallen into decline, and his fiancée had turned against him.
Now, the down-and-out Ruskin was once again begging for her forgiveness.
Li Wei had no interest in recycling trash, especially not when it came to love. Besides, she already had a new flame.
Her new boyfriend was the captain of the art school’s football team.
He was younger than her, but handsome, charming, and full of energy.
Li Wei was very satisfied with this younger boyfriend.
However, Ruskin’s recent harassment had already started to interfere with her relationship.
Still, Li Wei didn’t bring any of those emotional troubles home with her.
She caught hold of the fleeing Feng Yuan and pressed her forehead gently against his.
“Yuan Yuan, once you’ve had a good rest, Auntie will take you out to play.”
Feng Yuan replied, “Okay!”
Feng Yuan wanted to go out and play with Auntie, but his schedule was a little tight.
Before that, he had to go with his sister to attend the party hosted by Lily1I can’t remember which chapter, but I think I put Lili there instead of Lily (ᵕ—ᴗ—).
Last time, when it was Lily’s birthday, Feng Yuan hadn’t gone.
This time, since Lily invited him again, he couldn’t refuse.
After all, Lily always gave him chocolate to eat.
This week, he was going to Lily’s party. Next week, he will go to Robert’s orchard to pick fruit. The week after that…
The week after that, he could spend time with Auntie!
Watching the little one counting on his fingers to calculate his schedule, Li Wei couldn’t help the twitch that pulled at the corner of her mouth.
“Well, well, our Yuan Yuan’s schedule is even fuller than your dad’s?”
Feng Qi also had a few work invitations.
With a face that had taken the entertainment industry by storm, his fan count was rising almost daily.
The entertainment world had no shortage of beautiful people, but no one could compare to Feng Qi’s face.
Because of that face, he had been continuously receiving job offers one after another.
However, to stay with Feng Yuan and also because of the fierce beast, Feng Qi chose to remain here.
“Auntie, Yuan Yuan is very busy.”
Tilting his little face up, Feng Yuan informed his aunt in a grown-up tone, “If you want to take Yuan Yuan out to play, you have to tell Yuan Yuan in advance, okay?”
Li Wei: “Alright.”
Li Wei gave him another kiss before finally letting him go.
After making his round of kisses at home, Feng Yuan finally went out to the base.
At the base, it was once again the day when he could join group training.
He hadn’t participated in group training many times yet, but all the older brothers and sisters on the team were already very familiar with him.
Everyone liked this beautiful, polite, and adorable little cub.
Except Charles.
Seeing everyone gather around Feng Yuan to play with him during their break, Charles let out a heavy, cold snort.
“You’re all fooled by him! That kid is a demon!”
“He only looks cute, but in reality, he’s absolutely awful.”
While Charles was saying this, Feng Yuan was blinking his big eyes innocently, weaving red string bracelets for his older brothers and sisters.
The little one sat there obediently, focused on braiding. The sight of him made everyone’s hearts feel warm and soft.
In contrast, Charles’ chin raised, pointing at Feng Yuan, while accusing him. He looked more like a demon himself.
“Don’t look at me with those eyes!”
Being stared at like that, as if everyone thought he was an idiot, made Charles so angry that he stomped his feet. “I have evidence! I can prove that he’s a little demon!”
“He told on me to the teacher and got me punished harshly!”
“I didn’t!”
Before Charles could even finish, Feng Yuan unhappily interrupted him, “Yuan Yuan didn’t tattle!”
“It was you! The teacher came to me and said I taught you bad words!”
Charles’s face darkened as he revealed the reason for his punishment.
Feng Yuan puffed up his little face, fuming, “I didn’t tattle!”
“The teacher asked me to speak in English, so I said a word. Then he asked me how I knew that word.”
“I said that Charles had said it before!”
Falsely accused, Feng Yuan’s round little face puffed up like a steamed bun as he earnestly explained the truth.
In front of Feng Yuan, Lily keenly sensed that something was off.
She asked, “Yuan Yuan, what was the English sentence you said to the teacher?”
Feng Yuan blinked once and, in his soft milky voice, said, “Fuck!”
Lily: “……”
Lily’s face instantly turned green.
She lifted her head and glared sharply at Charles.
Beside her, Li Si was also staring at Charles with an icy expression.
Charles: “……”
Under their stares, Charles shivered.
His attempt to expose Feng Yuan had completely backfired. He had only managed to make everyone hate him instead.
Just as he realized something was wrong and tried to shut up to divert attention, it was already too late.
During the next group training session, he was targeted mercilessly like a sieve full of holes.
The older brothers and sisters who were all hopelessly charmed by Feng Yuan now turned their focus toward Charles with perfect unspoken agreement.
After a whole day of being singled out, Charles was on the verge of a breakdown.
Meanwhile, Feng Yuan was being patiently taught lots of new English phrases by the older trainees.
Out of the entire bunch of expressions, the little one only remembered a single sentence.
“Love you!”
“Yuan Yuan, love you!”
The little one’s soft, milky confession made all the older brothers and sisters clutch their chests in delight.
Watching her little brother being so popular, Li Si frowned.
“So annoying,” she muttered.
Li Wang, hearing her mumbling, glanced sideways at her.
Li Si didn’t notice his gaze. She was still staring in Feng Yuan’s direction, grumbling to herself.
“These people are such an eyesore.”
Don’t they have little brothers of their own?
Oh, actually, some of them really didn’t.
But if they didn’t, they should just go ask their parents for one. Why did they have to keep crowding around her little brother?
Li Si’s face darkened slightly. But before she could stay gloomy for more than a few seconds, Feng Yuan came running toward her.
“Sister!”
“Yuan Yuan loves you!”
Feng Yuan didn’t say it in English this time. He used Chinese to express his love.
The little one’s confession to his sister was completely different from how he spoke to anyone else.
He even added a time limit to his declaration: “Yuan Yuan will love you forever!”
His sister was the best in the whole wide world.
So, he had to love her forever!
The love and dependence in the little one’s eyes were clear. Li Si wasn’t blind. She could see it all.
She reached out and picked up the chubby little boy.
Holding the soft, plump cub in her arms was far more comfortable than hugging any cotton pillow.
Cradling her little brother, Li Si decided that, for now, to forgive this boring world.
Training and lessons at the base continued in an orderly fashion.
After Li Sheng talked with the teacher, Feng Yuan’s homework load was successfully reduced back to a normal amount.
The little one had studied very hard over the past few days, so in these last two days…
He went back to being distracted, just like before.
He even dug out the game console that his dads had put away.
After not touching it for a few days, the game he loved most had already introduced a new rule.
Before logging in, players now had to go through a face recognition scan to confirm they were adults.
The gaming platform had implemented this to restrict minors.
And little Feng Yuan, a kindergartener in the junior class, was completely locked out by the restriction.
He held the game console in his hands, looking as if his whole little world was about to shatter.
There was no shortage of adults in his family. But not a single one would help him pass the face verification.
Hugging the console, the little cub sat cross-legged on the floor, chubby legs folded beneath him, heartbroken yet busy brainstorming ideas.
He thought for a moment, then started counting on his plump little fingers.
Dad hadn’t spanked him for four days now.
And this week, he had even gone dark mode on Dad and scared him to tears.
So, for a while, Dad definitely wouldn’t dare to spank him again.
As he calculated in his little head, his round, chubby face gradually firmed up with resolve.
Perfect!
Tonight, after Dad falls asleep, he’ll use Dad’s face to do the game verification!
Having made up his mind, the little cub didn’t even tell Qin Xun about it this time.
When he talked to Qin Xun on the phone, he didn’t mention a word of it.
He had once overheard Grandpa saying—
When you want to do something, don’t make too much of a fuss about it.
If you announce it too soon, it might fail.
So this time, he was going to secretly pull off something big!
Feng Yuan poked at his smartwatch while chatting with Qin Xun. As they talked, he suddenly thought of Anna.
Yesterday, Anna had said she wanted to come play with him and had asked for his address.
Feng Yuan had sent her his home location.
But Anna never showed up.
Since Feng Yuan had only been pushed into contact with Anna in the first place, her breaking the promise didn’t disappoint him much.
He thought, maybe Anna’s parents hadn’t allowed her to go out.
Not dwelling too much on Anna, the little cub’s mind wandered to the word boyfriend.
Anna had asked Feng Yuan to be her boyfriend.
But Feng Yuan still hadn’t agreed yet.
He tapped on his smartwatch and asked Qin Xun, “Qin Xun, do you have a boyfriend?”
Moonlit: Yuan Yuan counting how many days ago he was spanked got me HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA He is really asking for a beating HAHAHAHAHHAHA
