It’s not that he underestimated Duan Yizhou, but that he overestimated himself. This reward, to be frank, he cried three times saying he couldn’t do it.

In the bedroom, the alpha pheromones of amber and agarwood intermingled with the citrus rose pheromones of type A beta, unable to blend but perfectly coexisting.

“Wuwuwu… Let’s forget it, let’s forget it, I don’t want it anymore.”

Duan Yizhou picked up Luo Songran, whose body was covered in sweat, and placed him on his lap. Seeing this guy’s eyes turning red from crying, Duan Yizhou couldn’t help but chuckle, brushing off the wet hair on his forehead. “It’s what you asked for.”

Luo Songran buried his face in Duan Yizhou’s chest, his limbs weak as he let himself be held, crying intermittently, “I’m tired.”

“I really don’t want it. We can’t afford it on credit.”

“Really…” Luo Songran’s voice was hoarse, choked with tears. “I overestimated myself and underestimated how long it would take for you…”

The more he said, the more he felt that Duan Yizhou was not human. If he were normal, how could he have so much energy?

Duan Yizhou found this little brat amusing, chuckled deeply, and lifted him to the bathroom. “Don’t challenge your man easily in the future, got it, kid?”

Luo Songran, with his arms around Duan Yizhou’s neck and his buttocks lifted, as if holding a child, heard Duan Yizhou call him like that and couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “I’m already your dad, okay? Don’t call me kid.”

“In my eyes, you’ll always be a kid.”

In the bathroom, under the shower.

“Tomorrow, we’re taking Little Piglets to kindergarten for a trial class. Are you coming?” Luo Songran closed his eyes, tilting his head back as Duan Yizhou helped him wash his hair.

“Yeah, of course, I won’t miss any step of Little Piglets’ growth.” Duan Yizhou wiped the foam off his eyelids with his fingertips to prevent it from getting into his eyes. Then he smiled, “You remembered that tomorrow is Little Piglets’ trial class. Good job, Daddy, you’re making progress.”

Luo Songran opened his eyes abruptly. “What! I’m already a dad, okay? How can you call me Daddy?”

“You’ll always be a kid in my eyes.”

After the shower, it was already 2 a.m. They dried their hair and went to bed.

“Do you think Little Piglet and Little Pipsqueak will find kindergarten boring since they’re so smart? I remember when I was little, I was the only one going to kindergarten, and my siblings went to elementary school at four.”

“Yeah, your siblings are indeed outstanding.”

“But I think kindergarten is fun, with outdoor activities and different activities in different areas of the classroom.”

“You’re normal. Many kids like going to kindergarten. These three years are irreplaceable for any learning. So, I hope Little Piglet and Little Pipsqueak can learn step by step and learn to enjoy their childhood. They’ll be much happier that way.”

“Yeah, I feel happy. I also want Little Piglet and Little Pipsqueak to be like me. I don’t want them to study all the time.” Luo Songran paused as if recalling something and sighed heavily.

“What’s the sigh for?” Duan Yizhou lowered his head to rest against Luo Songran’s forehead. “What’s bothering you?”

“I thought of my second brother.” Luo Songran hesitated, looking at Duan Yizhou. “You’re so capable, but you still can’t find Jiang Yi?”

Duan Yizhou fell silent.

Luo Songran sighed heavily again. “What should I do? I’m starting to worry about Yan Nanchen. How can such a proud person be content with being stuck in the hospital? It’s been three years, and I’m really worried that my second brother won’t hold on.”

After saying that, he was embraced by Duan Yizhou.

“It’ll be fine, trust me.” Duan Yizhou kissed Luo Songran’s forehead. “There’s nothing more important than being alive in this world. As long as you’re alive, everything will pass. I believe your second brother won’t be content to wait for Jiang Yi to come back. He’ll get better and wait for Jiang Yi to return.”

Luo Songran seemed to catch on to something. He raised his head, grabbed Duan Yizhou’s chin, and questioned him, “Hm? You seem to know something. Did Jiang Yi contact you?”

“No.” Duan Yizhou thought he was telling the truth because it wasn’t Jiang Yi who contacted him, but Chu Beiheng.

“Then why are you so sure Jiang Yi will come back?”

“Just a guess.”

“Oh.” Luo Songran, uninterested, withdrew his feet from Duan Yizhou’s body and pulled the blanket over himself, turning his back to him, then yawned, “Let’s sleep. I’m tired.”

Duan Yizhou naturally hugged him from behind, resting his head on his shoulder, and whispered softly, “Goodnight, baby.”

“Goodnight, husband.”

The Next Day

Saintly Ceremony International School’s Kindergarten –

On the spacious lawn was an open-style children’s buffet area. Beyond that was the outdoor playground of the kindergarten, with a castle-like slide instantly attracting many children. By this time, many parents had brought their children into the garden for a visit.

The appearance of Piglet in navy blue overalls and Pipsqueak in pale yellow overalls instantly caught the attention of many parents.

Because today was a parent-child trial class before starting preschool, the purpose was to experience the fun of kindergarten in advance, generate interest, and reduce children’s anxiety about unfamiliar environments.

But obviously, it made Little Piglet and Little Pipsqueak even more anxious.

Mainly, it was Little Pipsqueak who was anxious.

The usually confident Duan Yuluo in the face of so many children became a bit timid, hiding behind his brother Luo Yuduan in fear and clutching the dinosaur tail on his brother’s overalls.

“Pig, there are so many kids here, I’m scared,” Duan Yuluo said in a childish voice, wrinkling his small face.

“There are a lot of people, call me brother.” Luo Yuduan was quite calm. He first surveyed the environment of the kindergarten, as if assessing its size, with a serious expression, resembling a little adult.

Duan Yuluo pursed his lips and whispered, “Brother, I’m scared.”

“What are you afraid of?” Luo Yuduan turned sideways and reached out to his brother. “Hold my hand. Brother will protect you.”

Duan Yuluo immediately took his brother’s hand, feeling full of strength and courage. His back straightened, and the pigtail behind his overalls swayed along with him. He smiled, “Then brother can’t let go of my hand, or I’ll be scared.”

Luo Yuduan, “…” didn’t know who beat him up last night.

Luo Songran and Duan Yizhou, seeing this scene, did not approach. After all, from now on, it would be their two brothers taking care of each other at school, and now was the time to adapt.

What surprised them was that Little Pipsqueak seemed a bit scared. After all, he was the one who dared to bully his dad at home.

“Look, he’s a little tyrant at home.” Luo Songran stood with his arms folded.

Duan Yizhou chuckled, “Dad is a little tyrant too, otherwise, how could he be your son? Not exactly the same, but close enough.”

Luo Songran, “…”

On one side were conversations between parents and teachers, and on the other side was the children’s social time.

Duan Yuluo, who had been obediently clutching his brother’s dinosaur tail, was suddenly drawn to the nearby slide. Although there was a huge children’s playground at Grandpa’s house, the kindergarten’s playground seemed even bigger and more attractive.

“Duan Yuluo!” Seeing his little brother loosen his grip and run toward the slide, Luo Yuduan shouted after him, “Don’t run around.”

“I’ll play on the slide for a while.” Duan Yuluo, hearing his brother’s call, obediently stopped and looked at his brother, reassuringly, “I’ll play here and won’t go far.”

Luo Yuduan watched his brother for a moment, seeing his eager look to play. “Alright, when I call you, you have to come out. Don’t let me find you missing, understand?”

“I understand, Pig.”

“Say it again.”

“I understand, Brother.”

“Go play.”

Only then did Duan Yuluo bend down and enter the tunnel under the slide. But as he was about to crawl in, he suddenly saw a child hiding in the tunnel, wearing a baseball cap and hugging his knees, looking pitiful.

Being a little tyrant at home and an aficionado of good looks, Little Pipsqueak decisively chose to compromise on his social anxiety and suddenly no longer felt afraid.

The boy looked a little surprised and looked at Duan Yuluo, “You think I’m handsome? But just now, some kids said I look weird.”

“Yes, you’re super handsome, not weird at all.” Duan Yuluo pointed to the boy’s eyes, suddenly remembering his dad saying not to point fingers at others, so he put his finger down, “Why are your eyes blue?”

“I’m a mixed-blood.”

“From where?”

“M Country and Huaxia.”

“Wow, that’s cool!” This was Duan Yuluo’s first encounter with a mixed-blood. He eagerly reached out to the boy, “I’m Duan Yuluo, what’s your name?”

“Lu Xinghe.”

“Are you also preparing to start preschool at this kindergarten?”

“Yeah.”

“So am I! Then we’ll be good friends!”

“Do you want to be friends with me?”

“Yeah, because you’re so handsome, even more handsome than my dad!”

“You’re handsome too.”

“You’re even more handsome.”

In front of the slide tunnel, two initially timid little guys began to compliment each other on their looks. This simple friendship began at the kindergarten.

They couldn’t imagine that this handshake would last from three years old to old age.
