As the days went by, Piglet grew up rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the two little ones to celebrate their second birthday.

On a sunny afternoon, Piglet kicked off the full moon banquet with a hundred pig-shaped balloons, followed by the highly anticipated ceremony of choosing objects that symbolize their future.

On the lawn, Luo Songran’s favorite moon goddess sports car and motorcycle were parked, while a precious violin lay on the nearby table. Of course, putting the sports car and motorcycle there was just a red herring. What the family really wished for was their offspring to thrive.

Grandfather placed a book about “Barriers”.

Great-grandfather placed a stack of money.

Uncle placed a badge from the Galaxy Research Institute.

Dad placed a lawyer’s robe.

Both sisters put on white coats.

Elder brother placed a red flag.

Second brother placed a pen.

Uncle and aunt placed a gold brick.

And as for the youngest uncle, 15-month-old Duan Yifan naturally also offered his blessings, placing his favorite cheese stick.

Duan Yizhou directly wrote a check, made out to research project funding, for 2 billion.

Luo Songran: “…” He shook his head at the contents of the check. Is this the path for their sons? It’s too miserable.

Other children at the party were picking up items like brushes and ink stones, but when it came to their Piglet, it seemed that picking one thing meant they were about to grow up. It was as if they were destined to carry a heavy burden from the very beginning.

The ceremony began amidst the attention of relatives and friends.

Luo Songran and Duan Yizhou took Piglets out of the stroller and placed them on the blanket, letting them crawl towards whatever they wanted.

“Piglets, go get what you want, anything.” Luo Songran squatted in front of the blanket, hoping one of them would come to touch his beloved car.

Being a strong-willed child, Luo Yuduan, who was already a year old, had no problem walking on his own. His language and expressive abilities were beyond those of children his age. Not only could he speak fluently, but he could also understand what his father said.

Of course, Piglet Duan Yuluo’s development was also good, just a bit slower in speaking and a bit prone to crying. But now, he didn’t want to be outdone. Although he wasn’t walking very well yet, seeing his brother standing up and walking made him want to do the same. So, he propped himself up with his hands on the blanket and slowly stood up.

“Pig!” Seeing his brother walk a bit faster, Pipsqueak pouted unhappily. But when he called out, he nearly shouted himself off balance. His small body swayed, and he sat back on the blanket, ready to cry.

Luo Yuduan, who was walking ahead, heard his brother calling him, turned his head, and saw his brother sitting on the blanket looking like he was about to cry. He stood still, as if thinking about something.

Seeing his brother not coming to help him, Pipsqueak felt even more aggrieved. Tears the size of soybeans began to fall. “…Brother, carry.”

When Luo Yuduan heard his brother call him “brother” instead of “Pig,” he finally stepped forward to help him. It was a bit difficult to lift him up, almost causing himself to fall, but he had to maintain his dignity as the older brother.

“Don’t call me ‘Pig,’ call me ‘brother.'”

“Brother.”

“Yeah.”

Luo Songran, squatting at the other end of the blanket, watching the two brothers, expressed his incredulity. “Duan Yizhou, your eldest son is amazing, just like you. Were you that articulate when you were little?”

“I don’t know, maybe. Look at how much Pipsqueak resembles you. He cries if he can’t keep up with his brother.” Duan Yizhou stood beside Luo Songran, smiling, as he watched the brothers helping each other touch the items.

Luo Songran glanced at Duan Yizhou. “I didn’t cry just because I couldn’t keep up. Don’t tease me.”

Duan Yizhou smiled and didn’t say anything. It was pointless to argue with this little ancestor. It wasn’t embarrassing to bow to his beloved.

Family members nearby also marveled at Piglet’s language ability. He was just one year old, yet he was walking steadily, speaking fluently, almost comparable to a three-year-old, and he even knew how to take care of his younger brother.

If they continued like this as they grew older…

Under everyone’s gaze, they saw the two little ones walking toward different objects.

The first to reach out was Piglet Duan Yuluo. His hand first touched the gold brick, then he bent down and took a bite, smudging it with saliva. Perhaps he didn’t have enough teeth to bite properly, so he gave up.

Then he reached for the nearby silver badge. As usual, he tried to bite it first to see if he could manage. Realizing it was harder than the gold brick, he promptly gave up.

Then he crawled forward and bypassed his father’s 2 billion check, heading straight for the pen Uncle Duan Yifan had placed.

Just as everyone thought Piglet was going to touch the pen, they saw his hand bypassing it and grabbing the cheese stick Uncle Duan Yifan had put down instead.

Piglet was finally content, sitting down with his cheese stick in hand, waving towards Luo Songran at the other end of the blanket, “Dad, look!”

Luo Songran: “…” He couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. Eventually, he could only stand up helplessly and walk over to Piglet, lifting him up. “You little foodie, do you know how many cheese sticks your dad’s 2 billion could buy?”

The little foodie Piglet didn’t know what 2 billion meant, but he understood “cheese stick.” So, he lifted his cheese stick again towards his dad, waving and smiling, “Look!”

Luo Songran was charmed by this little guy. “Forget it, being a foodie is not bad either.”

“But he bit the gold brick, bit the Galaxy Research Institute’s badge, stepped on my check, almost touched your second brother’s pen. Maybe he’ll be the next heir of the Galaxy Group.” Duan Yizhou took Piglet from Luo Songran’s arms and chuckled.

Luo Songran handed the cheese stick to Piglet. “It’s hard to say if he’ll be the heir of UNE.”

It’s a pity he didn’t go touch his sports car and motorcycle.

The little foodie Pipsqueak, completely unaware that he might be getting played, happily took the cheese stick and enjoyed it to the fullest.

Compared to the carefree Pipsqueak, Piglet, as the older brother, was always more serious. Even choosing an item during the ceremony was done cautiously. Everyone watched as this diaper-clad cool guy stood in front of the red flag, motionless.

Then Luo Songran saw Piglet turn his head and asked, “What’s wrong, Piggy? Haven’t you chosen yet?”

“This one.”

Everyone watched as Pip bent down to pick up the red flag, waving it in front of his chest. He smiled brightly, “Dad! I want this!”

Luo Songran was stunned.

On the whimsically decorated lawn, with hundreds of pig-shaped balloons flying behind the children, his beloved child held up the red flag. It was such a cute and heartwarming scene.

And he couldn’t have imagined that twenty years later, his eldest son, Luo Yuduan, would be standing in front of the army, and Piglet wouldn’t be the baby in diapers anymore, but a tall, handsome alpha, wearing camouflage, standing straight and saluting him, saying goodbye, “Dad.”

And when he looked back on this scene, he felt how incredible it all was.

Perhaps life is full of surprises.

You never know what will happen next.

Just like he never imagined that two years later, his two sons would overpower him.

Two years later—

Everyone knew Piglet was smart, but no one expected Luo Yuduan and Duan Yuluo, these two brothers, to be so brilliant.

At the age of three, the two of them could already recite the world map by heart, not to mention the Three Hundred Tang Poems. Especially the eldest son, Luo Yuduan, who could read his dad’s physics book as a bedtime story.

The youngest son, Duan Yuluo, also showed remarkable mathematical talent. Complex algebraic equations, different fractions, lengthy multiplications, reciting the first 20 digits of pi were all easy for him, and he could even recite the full name of the corresponding element just by seeing its symbol.

Recently, they had a new task, which was to supervise their dad studying, because dad had final exams.

In comparison, Luo Songran had really become the family’s useless person. He didn’t even know the element symbols that his youngest son knew, let alone these science subjects. He would forget the key points of the final exams he had studied.

“Ah… I’m tired.”

In the living room, Luo Songran sat on the carpet, holding a pen, despairingly lying on the table in front of him with his head covered by books. It was his final semester exams.

“Dad, you’re not sitting properly.”

Luo Songran was procrastinating, but suddenly felt a poke on his back. He turned his head to see his younger brother, Duan Yuluo, poking him with a lollipop, annoyed, “What do you care if I’m sitting properly?”

“Bending over will make you ugly, and dad won’t want you.” Luo Yuduan, sitting on the sofa reading a physics book, said in a serious tone with his childish voice.

Younger brother Duan Yuluo agreed, “I don’t want a dad who bends over.”

Eldest brother Luo Yuduan added, “I don’t want a dad who doesn’t study seriously.”

Luo Songran closed his book with a slap and stood up, “Then I’ll run away from home.” These two brothers were really something else.

It’s like they were breathing down his neck. When Duan Yizhou was around, the three of them would always watch over him, not letting him do this or that. Now that Duan Yizhou was not around, these two brothers were even more keeping an eye on him.

Especially with their sharp tongues, it wasn’t that he couldn’t argue with them, but it was really embarrassing to argue with two three-year-old kids.

Losing an argument was even more embarrassing.

Arguing and crying with them was not a one-time thing or two, and Duan Yizhou would laugh at him, calling him an immature kid who couldn’t grow up, crying even when arguing with his sons. The bitterness in it would be laughed at no matter who he told.

It was frustrating, really frustrating.

The two brothers, who were used to it, continued doing their own things. One continued reading, and the other lowered his head to unwrap his lollipop. Then, almost simultaneously, they said, “Then go, anyway, dad will soon drag you back to study.”

Luo Songran stopped at the door, “…”

He wished he hadn’t had kids.

The three Duan Yizhous were really scary.

The maid, who came out with fruit, saw the little master looking angry and couldn’t help but smile and shake her head, “Piglet, Pipsqueak, if you two make your dad mad again, be careful that your dad criticizes you when he comes back.”

Luo Songran felt slightly relieved when he heard the maid’s fair words. He picked up a slice of watermelon from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, murmuring, “Exactly, be careful, your dad will come back and scold you both. All you do is bully me all day long.”

“Scold who?”

Before Luo Songran could swallow the watermelon, he felt a big hand clasp the back of his head.

He turned his head and saw it was Duan Yizhou, who they had agreed to have a meeting with today. Suddenly, he realized he hadn’t studied anything, and he was choked by the watermelon he hadn’t swallowed.

Duan Yizhou’s cheek was unexpectedly splattered with a few drops of watermelon juice. He turned his face away, his forehead twitching, and said helplessly, “Luo Songran.”

“Sorry, sorry…” Luo Songran quickly used his sleeve to wipe Duan Yizhou’s face.

Seeing this little ancestor suddenly apologize so sincerely, Duan Yizhou raised an eyebrow. “You’re apologizing for such a small thing. Are you in such a good mood today that you’re apologizing to me?”

Luo Songran, “…” He chuckled nervously. He put down his hand. “Uh, well, about that—”

“Big dad! I want to report, Dad didn’t study!” Piglet sitting on the sofa was the first to raise his hand to report.

Pipsqueak also raised his book, “Report +1.”

Luo Songran abruptly turned his head, squinting his eyes at the two brothers, thoroughly annoyed. “What are you reporting? I haven’t done anything…”

His voice trailed off.

“Haven’t studied again?” Just as Luo Songran was about to say something, his neck was pinched by Duan Yizhou. Then he felt the alpha behind him lean in close, his dominant aura pressing down on him, “Baby, are you thinking of crying while doing translation exercises again tonight?”

Luo Songran immediately remembered the times Duan Yizhou had tormented him with translation exercises, his lower back tensed up, and he quickly shook his head, “No, no, I’ll study later, no, I’ll study now!”

He tried to break free from Duan Yizhou.

But before he could take two steps, Duan Yizhou hoisted him onto his shoulder. He exclaimed, “What are you doing?!”

“Go to my study and study, I’ll personally watch over you.” Duan Yizhou carried this naughty little guy on his shoulder and then glanced at Piglet and Pipsqueak on the sofa, “I’ll check on you later.”

“We’re done studying!” Piglet and Pipsqueak chimed in simultaneously.

Luo Songran: “…” Wow, impressive, really impressive. He’s useless, sob, sob, sob.

Duan Yizhou looked at the dejected little guy on his shoulder and chuckled, “Great job! You two go play, I’ll take your dad to study. If he doesn’t finish, he’ll have dinner in the study tonight.”

The mention of dinner was too wicked.

Luo Songran couldn’t help but shiver, lying on Duan Yizhou’s back, feeling utterly helpless.

Oh, Heavens, it’s so unfair!
