〖Well said!〗

Accompanied by those words, Xu Wenyin gave a vigorous applause.

A bright smile immediately appeared on Xu Youyou’s face. “Mom, you’re here?“

Of course, in the eyes of onlookers, this smile seemed more like a victory in a debate, which immediately made Liu Miaomiao puff up her face and want to refute her statement. But what’s a big pig trotter?

Xu Youyou doesn’t care about this, she’s waiting for her mother’s response.

Soon Xu Wenyin stopped clapping. Although she couldn’t remember when she had said such philosophical and reasonable words, that wasn’t important. What’s important was……

While Liu Miaomiao was thinking of a retort, Xu Wenyin hurriedly asked, 〖Youyou, did anyone bully you? Especially that Liu Miaomiao, if she did, you must tell Mom!〗

If she bullies my family’s baby, I’ll hack her family’s official website right away!

Xu Youyou smiled. “No, Mom, don’t worry, no one bullied Youyou.“

Even after saying that, Xu Wenyin was still a little worried, but she was there now and she could know about any situation, so she skipped over the topic for the time being.

As expected, Liu Miaomiao couldn’t think of anything to say in rebuttal, and after snorting with a gloomy expression, she didn’t feel like continuing the conversation.

However, Qian Xin started eagerly asking Lu Chenjun questions.

Before Qian Xin came, his parents had specifically told him not to offend Lu Chenjun, the boy with curly hair.

But children never remember these kinds of things so clearly.

Compared with the ‘silly but sweet’ Qian Xin, Liu Yanzhi was obviously much more mature.

He and Qian Xin have known each other since a long time ago and they’re very familiar with each other.

He also knew that his friend was effortlessly friendly, so it wasn’t surprising that he would do so. Liu Yanzhi was more curious about Lu Chenjun’s reaction.

He had just gotten to know Xu Youyou and Liu Miaomiao, and Liu Yanzhi had made a preliminary judgment on the two girls’ personalities, leaving only Lu Chenjun, who didn’t talk much.

Moreover, he and Xu Youyou were good friends. Would he be as amazing as Xu Youyou?

“Juanjuan, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Qian Xin, also known as Xiao Pang, lived up to Liu Yanzhi’s evaluation of him and called Lu Chenjun by his nickname very familiarly. As for why.

Apologies, he couldn’t remember Lu Chenjun’s name either. Like repeated characters ‘Youyou and Miaomiao’, Juanjuan was obviously easier to remember than Lu Chenjun.

Moreover, his curly hair was so conspicuous!

Xu Youyou quickly interjected, “Because Juanjuan doesn’t like to talk! Just ask me.”

There were all kinds of strange children in the orphanage. Juanjuan just talks less and reacts slowly, which Xu Youyou was perfectly fine with.

As long as she could ruffle his hair more.

Lu Chenjun: “……”

“My name is,” He paused for a second. “Lu Chenjun.”

Qian Xin asked, “Juanjuan doesn’t like to talk?”

Xu Youyou said, “Uh-huh, Juanjuan is amazing. He can read books that I don’t understand.”

Liu Yanzhi chipped in, “Wow, Juanjuan knows how to read?”

Lu Chenjun: “……”

Did you all learn from Xu Youyou?! I said my name is Lu Chenjun!

However, little friend Lu Chenjun ultimately chose to remain silent.

Forget it, such a trivial matter wasn’t worth arguing about.

He obviously forgot who the person arguing with Xu Youyou over the words ‘little deer’ was.

Lu Chenjun’s reaction just confirmed Xu Youyou’s words, giving Qian Xin and Liu Yanzhi a different impression of this little friend.

Qian Xin: Mom said Juanjuan’s father is a very powerful person. No wonder Juanjuan is as big as us, but he looks much more awesome.

Liu Yanzhi: This boy is hard to please.

However, Lu Chenjun never minded what others thought of him, and he had absolutely no interest in making friends at the training camp. This time he only came there to exercise……

This silly deer would definitely gotten bullied if I was not here!

She’s silly, gullible, and has a bad memory!

Perhaps if someone sold her, she would even help count the money for them with a smile.

In any case, she was someone acknowledged by Lu Chenjun, so she couldn’t be bullied by others.

It took twenty minutes to tackle the ingredients, then the children had another fifteen minutes of rest time before they were called to eat.

It wasn’t tiring at all.

Thinking of the purpose of her visit, Xu Youyou couldn’t help but ask, “Instructor, when will we start training?”

She wanted to become very powerful and protect her mother!

The instructor pulled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly. “No rush. Don’t cry when the time comes.”

Lunch was indeed made by the vegetables the children handled by themselves.

A simple stir-fried shredded pork with green soybeans, a hand-torn cabbage, a braised chicken leg per person, and of course, the seaweed egg drop soup provided for free in the cafeteria.

For a child, these were actually pretty good.

It was all cooked separately for them, unlike the soldiers at the base who ate the food from large pots.

At least it’s more abundant than what Xu Youyou eats at home.

But for Liu Miaomiao and the others, it was too simple.

Even Lu Chenjun thought so. Although it seemed like he and Qin Yiren were the only two people in their house, in fact, three aunties came regularly every day to cook, clean, and handle all household chores.

The ingredients for their food were all specially supplied from the manor in the suburbs and were freshly picked every day to ensure its quality.

If not, it was impossible to expect Qin Yiren, a rich lady who had led a pampered life to cook.

Liu Miaomiao frowned and put the spoon down. “I want to eat strawberries!”

The instructor wasn’t surprised, and his tone was steady and indifferent, “There’s none. It’s your choice to eat or not. There won’t be any snacks in the afternoon.”

On the other side, Qian Xin took a bite of the chicken leg and also furrowed his nonexistent eyebrows. “It’s not as delicious as what my mom made.”

Lu Chenjun carefully picked out the garlic, ginger, onions, and other auxiliary ingredients little by little. Looking at his frown, those who didn’t know would think there was some kind of poison in front of him.

In the end, only Xu Youyou ate the food cleanly without wasting any, while the other children more or less had some left over.

The most dramatic Liu Miaomiao had at least two-thirds left.

The instructor saw it but didn’t say a word.

What to do if a child refuses to eat? Just let them be hungry!

After eating and resting for half an hour, the instructor took them to an indoor training ground.

Such small children definitely couldn’t go out to bask in the sun at noon. The instructor still had some sense of proportion.

“Follow me and do a warm-up first.”

The five children stood in a row and followed the instructor obediently to stretch their legs and arms, which was really cute in Xu Wenyin’s eyes.

Especially Xu Youyou, she was the cutest!

After the warm-up, however, came the real highlight.

“Run around this circle three times.”

As soon as the instructor finished speaking, he took the lead and started running.

One lap was 100 meters, and three laps were only 300 meters. In addition, the speed wasn’t fast. For the instructor, it wasn’t even considered a walk.

But it’s different for children.

Especially Qian Xin, his breathing became rapid after just running a lap, and his whole little face was covered with sweat.

“I…… I can’t do it anymore!”

Halfway through the second lap, the little boy’s speed was already slower than walking.

However, the instructor said that they had to complete the three laps even if they crawl!

In the end, everyone, including Liu Miaomiao completed three laps. But it wasn’t over yet, they still had to stretch their legs again.

After a set of actions, each child was exhausted and panting, and almost no longer had the energy to speak.

Xu Wenyin was powerless about this and could only give Xu Youyou encouragement in her mind.

The instructor didn’t allow them to sit down and rest immediately. They had to stand and walk slowly back and forth to calm their breathing. Anyone who dared to stop would be punished for one more lap.

Under the glare of the gloomy expression of the instructor, even the most willful and arrogant Liu Miaomiao didn’t dare to behave like before and moved slowly and pitifully while holding back her tears.

She missed her parents and grandmother. She wanted to lie on her soft bed at home and hold her cute stuffed toys.

Do Mom and Dad not want Miaomiao anymore?

Little friend Liu Miaomiao had completely forgotten her father and mother’s instructions before coming there, nor did she remember them saying that they would pick her up seven days later.

All she felt was that she had been greatly wronged. She had never been so tired, had never eaten such unpalatable food, and had never……

Liu Miaomiao became more and more aggrieved as she thought about it. When the instructor finally relented and said that they could rest for ten minutes, the little girl finally couldn’t help but cry.

It wasn’t the usual magical screaming method, but she had her head lowered as she softly sobbed, which looked quite pitiful.

Qian Xin was the first to come over. “Miaomiao, don’t cry, drink some water.”

He really didn’t know how to deal with this kind of situation, so he could only look to Liu Yanzhi and Xu Youyou for help. He couldn’t count on Lu Chenjun. He’s probably better at comforting people than Lu Chenjun was.

Liu Miaomiao didn’t respond, she was still wiping tears silently.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a bit indescribable.

These three-year-old children have never experienced such hardship. Except for Xu Youyou, who came at her own initiative, the others were basically sent there by their parents.

For example, it took a lot of effort on Liu Yanzhi’s grandfather’s part to get him in.

Otherwise, how could his father care about whether he lives or dies?

Therefore, although Liu Yanzhi was young, he also knew that entering this training camp was one thing, but the key was to test their character and ability.

His family was different from Qian Xin’s. There were four half-siblings in his family alone. If he didn’t perform particularly well, they would walk all over him and weed him out.

So he would definitely stick to this training.

Liu Yanzhi habitually tried to pull out a handkerchief from his pocket, but when he found it empty, he immediately remembered that he didn’t bring it with him.

Liu Yanzhi, who lacked an important prop, could only comfort dryly, “Miaomiao, don’t cry. Just hold on and seven days will soon pass.”

Probably because someone was comforting her again, Liu Miaomiao’s crying increased instead of decreasing, “Miaomiao wants to go home now! Miaomiao wants Mom and Dad!”

Qian Xin and Liu Yanzhi looked at each other, their immature faces full of confusion. They were also very tired and just wanted to sit down, have a good rest, and drink water. Now with this……

It was unknown if it was because Xu Youyou’s reliable image had taken root in children’s hearts, the two unexpectedly turned their gazes on Xu Youyou at the same time.

“Mom, does Youyou need to go comfort her?“

Seeing Qian Xin and Liu Yanzhi who had surrounded Liu Miaomiao and were seeking help, Xu Youyou asked Xu Wenyin with some hesitation.

If she were at the orphanage right now, Xu Youyou wouldn’t ask this question at all. She would definitely come next to the crying and sad child because it’s the ‘correct’ approach.

To be a person, one must have empathy, be kind, and do good deeds.

That’s what she was taught at the orphanage. Youyou is an obedient child and have been working hard to do so.

Just like when Xu Youyou first arrived there, she was willing to reach out and help Liu Miaomiao because she fell, even though she was feeling hot and tired at that time as well.

However, her mother told her many times that she didn’t need to be so kind.

〖Does Youyou want to?〗

Xu Wenyin’s emotionless voice sounded in Xu Youyou’s head.

If it were an ordinary parent, they would definitely give a positive answer when faced with this question. After all, Liu Miaomiao was crying. Not to mention anything else, wasn’t it a normal behavior to comfort her?

One wouldn’t lose anything and might even gain a friend.

But Xu Wenyin didn’t want to educate Xu Youyou like that.

Kindness was a good quality, but it shouldn’t be too full or even overflowing.

It was Liu Miaomiao’s parents who sent her there, and everyone did the training together. Even though Xu Youyou had better stamina, she was also very tired.

Why should she sacrifice her rest time to comfort Liu Miaomiao?

Was the other child seriously injured or in danger?

A child who cries gets the milk, this was a saying Xu Wenyin read in some book.

Wasn’t that right? Anyway, she didn’t want Xu Youyou to be the one who was robbed of her ‘milk’, and she didn’t want her to have to comfort and congratulate the person who robbed her.

Just to be complemented as nice?

She hoped that Xu Youyou could be more self-loving and live more for herself.

Moreover, Xu Wenyin didn’t like Liu Miaomiao at all. Not to mention the things she did in the original story, even in these two short encounters, it could be seen that Liu Miaomiao was a naughty child, so Xu Wenyin naturally wouldn’t feel bad for her.

Don’t say that the child was still young so be generous.

Her family’s Youyou was also young and Xu Wenyin didn’t want to burden her own child with a child she didn’t like.

However, these were Xu Wenyin’s own thoughts. She wouldn’t decide for Xu Youyou. After all, changing one’s life wasn’t about changing the process, but the essence.

If Xu Youyou couldn’t stand up for herself, it would be useless even if Xu Wenyin died from overwork.

At this moment, the calm and ruthless part of Xu Wenyin who belonged to the system finally appeared.

“Youyou don’t know.“

There was a hint of confusion in Xu Youyou’s voice.

She was so young, how could she think so deeply?

Xu Wenyin didn’t say anything else right away. What she could do was guide, and she couldn’t directly order Xu Youyou to do anything. If Xu Youyou made up her mind, Xu Wenyin wouldn’t interfere.

After being silent for a few seconds, it seemed that Xu Youyou finally had her mind made up.

She turned her head and looked at Lu Chenjun, who was taking small sips of water. She moved closer to him and whispered, “Juanjuan, if Youyou didn’t go comfort Liu Miaomiao, would you hate Youyou?”

Xu Youyou’s question earned her Lu Chenjun’s ‘looking at a dummy’ gaze.

“What’s it got to do with me?”

This was one of his rare long words. At first glance, it wasn’t clear whether he was talking about comforting Liu Miaomiao or hating Xu Youyou.

But Xu Youyou immediately understood what Lu Chenjun meant, and a smile reappeared on her face.

“Hmm, Juanjuan is so good~”

Lu Chenjun: “……”

Really……

What’s the point of obsessing over such a trivial matter?

She’s indeed a silly deer.

Lu Chenjun took another sip of water and glanced at Liu Miaomiao inadvertently.

The crying was so noisy. He had to take Xiao Lu away from this girl. Otherwise, what should he do if she gets infected with the habit of crying?

Sure enough, since no one came to comfort Liu Miaomiao, her crying immediately died down.

That’s why those who go to comfort her are fools!

Lu Chenjun added another sentence in his mind, and then quietly put his body between Xu Youyou and Liu Miaomiao to prevent the two from making eye contact.

Qian Xin and Liu Yanzhi saw that Xu Youyou and Lu Chenjun were sitting peacefully and resting without any intention of interfering. The two of them also withdrew their gaze from Liu Miaomiao and tacitly walked to the side to sit down and rest.

They had to say, it feels so good to rest~

The instructor on the side quietly witnessed the whole thing but didn’t intervene.

Whether it was Liu Miaomiao crying or Xu Youyou and Lu Chenjun staying immune, there was definitely no right or wrong, but the instructor naturally had his own preferences for this matter.

What could he say?

Sure enough, a little girl like Xu Youyou was cuter.

No wonder Boss’s son likes to play with her, this kid knows how to select playmates!

There was no more strenuous exercise after that. After the break, the instructor began to teach them how to break free quickly when their hands were bound.

It was an eye-opener for Xu Youyou and the others.

The rope was obviously tied so tightly and they had checked it personally, yet the instructor managed to break free at once.

So cool!

This was much more fun than running and stretching!

However, when they actually got started, they found that the fun was only temporary and the pain in their wrists was real.

Even though the instructor tried to use as little force as possible when tying them up and used smooth ropes, the children’s skin was so delicate. Everyone’s wrists were left with varying shades of red marks, which would surely distress the parents if they saw it.

To top it off……

“Miaomiao’s hungry!” Liu Miaomiao frowned and rubbed her belly. “Miaomiao wants to eat!”

Liu Miaomiao’s temper was really bad. In the beginning, she was in an unfamiliar environment and her parents weren’t around so she restrained herself. However, temper couldn’t be changed in a day or two.

Plus she didn’t think there was anything wrong with wanting to eat.

Her grandmother always told her to eat whatever she wanted and to not eat anything she didn’t like. It’s not like their Liu family was short on food.

So in terms of being a picky eater, Liu Miaomiao could be said to be at the top of the game. Like that lunch at noon, she only ate a few bites of her food, which was already very good in Liu Miaomiao’s opinion.

Otherwise, given how picky she was, she wouldn’t eat even one bite.

In fact, not only Liu Miaomiao but also Qian Xin was a little hungry.

He looks chubby and not picky about food, but in fact, he just likes the food cooked by his mother, which is really delicious.

Qian Xin’s mother’s cooking skills have even been certified for state banquets.

Under the influence of this kind of delicious food, Qian Xin was somewhat intolerant of ordinary meals.

He had only eaten a little more than half of his lunch, which was naturally not enough given his appetite.

However, he wouldn’t say it outright like Liu Miaomiao, because Qian Xin also vaguely understood that he was hungry now because he didn’t finish his meal at noon.

“There’s still one hour left before dinner, so bear with it.”

The instructor announced mercilessly and then continued to guide several children on how to get free from the rope.

Feeling pain, tired, and hungry, Liu Miaomiao finally couldn’t suppress her temper and completely exploded!

“Miaomiao wants go home! Waah! Miaomiao wants go home! Go home!!!”

She sat down on the ground, picked up the rope, water cup, and the like, on the side, and threw them around without looking if there was anyone next to her.

Qian Xin was accidentally hit because he was close, but fortunately, Liu Yanzhi pulled him away in time so he didn’t suffer more injuries.

“Hiss——”

Qian Xin rubbed the arm that was hit. This Liu Miaomiao looked so small, yet how could she be so strong?!

Seeing the situation with her sharp eyes, Xu Youyou grabbed Lu Chenjun and hid behind the instructor, without the need for Xu Wenyin to remind her.

She had already seen Liu Miaomiao’s lethality, so of course it was safer to hide behind an adult.

It’s just that she didn’t know how the instructor would handle it.

Would he just ignore it as before or……

Xu Wenyin said with disdain, 〖Tch. Youyou, stay away from that Liu Miaomiao.〗

It was unknown what the couple would think if they saw their daughter’s behavior. It would be best if they felt sorry and gave up on this training camp, otherwise, Xu Wenyin would still be worried that Liu Miaomiao would hurt Xu Youyou.

Xu Wenyin guessed half of it right.

The training ground was naturally surrounded by surveillance cameras. Parents could check their children’s condition through their mobile phones, but they couldn’t express any opinions about the meals, and so on. If they couldn’t stand it, they could take their children away.

The training camp wouldn’t even persuade them to stay for a second.

As soon as the Liu couple arrived home, they put aside the company’s affairs and couldn’t wait to turn on the surveillance camera to observe the condition of their baby daughter. Seeing Liu Miaomiao crying softly, the distressed Mother Liu wanted to bring her back on the spot.

It was Father Liu who still had his senses and repeated what they had agreed when they made up their minds in the beginning, that temporarily dispelled Mother Liu’s thoughts.

If Grandma Liu hadn’t returned to her hometown during this period, there would have been no possibility of this plan being carried out.

As they watched, they saw Liu Miaomiao crying from hunger, and the couple felt distressed again.

There were rules in the training camp that no one could bring anything except the clothes they were wearing, let alone snacks.

Mother Liu turned her back from the screen and couldn’t help wiping her tears quietly. Those who didn’t know would think that Liu Miaomiao had suffered some kind of torture.

It was said that behind every spoiled child, there’s a pair of indulgent parents. Although these two weren’t considered extremely indulgent, they were really too lax when it came to their child’s education.

“Wife.” Father Liu took a deep breath and turned off the phone. “Let’s stop watching.”

“Look at the other children, which one is like our Miaomiao? It would be fine if I could support her for the rest of her life, but things are unpredictable, I can’t make that guarantee!”

The Liu Group was now looking like a big business, but Father Liu felt his conscience and expressed that he had caught up with the times, and there was also luck involved in it.

Once he falls, the entire Liu family would basically fall apart.

Therefore, even though he felt sorry for his wife, Father Liu made this decision after thinking hard all night.

“Husband! What nonsense are you talking about?!” Mother Liu quickly covered Father Liu’s mouth. “Stop it quickly! How can you say such words?!”

After that, the two parents calmed down a little.

Mother Liu gritted her teeth and looked at Father Liu. “When Miaomiao comes back, let’s transfer her to that kindergarten!”

She didn’t mention picking up Liu Miaomiao. She understood that if she wanted her daughter to be good, this step was necessary.

“I think that little girl Youyou is good, and since the young master of the Lu family is also going to the same school, Miaomiao can preserve her dignity in the future.”

Father Liu furrowed his brows slightly. “Let me take a look again, it would be best if the Qian and the other Liu family could also transfer, otherwise if our family is too deliberate, the Lu and the Qin family will definitely have a problem with it.”

“Wait, I’ll call the Qian family to apologize first. Even if Miaomiao hit someone unintentionally, the child’s family will definitely feel upset.”

Was the seemingly ‘coincidental’ training of five children together really a complete coincidence?

Their Liu family was mainly engaged in real estate, while the Qian family’s cuisine was famous throughout the country.

There’s also the other Liu family. Although the current head has been somewhat criticized for favoring sons over daughters, there’s no denying their status in the Internet industry in recent years.

Which of these three companies wasn’t among the top in their industry? However, none of them could compare to the Lu family.

No, strictly speaking, it should be the union of the Lu family and the Qin family. The representative of the two families was naturally Lu Chenjun.

So to be able to enter this training camp, it was unimaginable how much hard work the parents of these children put in behind the scenes.

After all, childhood friendship was the most precious of all. They were taking the long term to catch the big fish.

Except for Xu Youyou.

One afternoon was enough for the three families to obtain basic information about the Xu family’s mother and daughter.

Frankly speaking, for such a family, even if they’ve gone through many twists and turns, they usually don’t care much.

They are people from two completely different worlds.

But when Xu Youyou and Lu Chenjun became good friends, and Qin Yiren specifically warned Zhou Weimin using the Qin family’s name, their significance became different.

It wasn’t just the Liu family who were feeling entangled, but the other two families as well, but these have nothing to do with Xu Youyou and the other children for the time being.

Liu Miaomiao said she was hungry, yet she still had the strength to cry loudly without stopping.

She cried for ten minutes during the ten-minute break.

She didn’t stop even when the instructor started the second round of teaching, but the instructor completely ignored Liu Miaomiao, took the four children to the other side of the room, and continued teaching.

It was as if Liu Miaomiao had become invisible.

〖Hahaha, I like this instructor.〗 Xu Wenyin laughed in Xu Youyou’s head. 〖Youyou, do you still want to go comfort Liu Miaomiao?〗

Xu Youyou was preoccupied with two things. Her eyes were fixed on the instructor’s movements, but she was answering Xu Wenyin in her mind seriously, “Not going. Juanjuan is right! What’s it got to do with me?”

With Liu Miaomiao like this, does she have to comfort her whenever she cries? Xu Youyou doesn’t want to do this kind of ‘good thing’.

She could help Liu Miaomiao if she fell, but she didn’t want to comfort her when she just couldn’t adapt to the environment and continuously cried.

It was Liu Miaomiao’s parents who chose to send her there, and she didn’t need to feel sorry for Liu Miaomiao.

After thinking about it this way, the little one felt a lot more relaxed all over, and she even became more serious about learning.

Xu Wenyin also noticed this change and quickly took out her task report, and happily wrote on it—— Teaching children requires gentle guidance. I’m awesome!

And with the change in Xu Youyou’s mentality, the task progress increased by 1%, from the original 13% to 14%. Even if it only increased a little, it was worth having a big meal to celebrate.

Actions speak louder than words. She would order takeout later in the evening. Anyway, she still had nearly half an hour left to transform for that day.

Xu Wenyin had long been salivating over the midnight snack set in the human forums. This opportunity was too good to pass up!

———pr

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the four children sat in the familiar cafeteria again and began to prepare the vegetables they needed for their dinner.

Liu Miaomiao, on the other hand, was practicing alone with the instructor, because he said that if the task wasn’t completed, she would have no food.

Looking at the instructor’s cold and unfeeling demeanor earlier, one could tell that what he said was true.

After Liu Miaomiao confirmed that her parents and grandmother wouldn’t come to pick her up, she could only practice alone with her eyes red and swollen. Because she was hungry, the process was very slow.

After all four children had finished eating, Liu Miaomiao belatedly arrived.

“Because you didn’t participate in the labor, it stands to reason that you won’t get a share of the dinner.” As soon as the instructor, who was a step behind, said so, Liu Miaomiao’s tears fell again.

“But since it’s the first day, you can eat some with us.” The instructor added the next sentence, which meant eating with the soldiers.

This time Liu Miaomiao didn’t dare to be picky about food, let alone waste it. The dishes she usually dislikes quickly disappeared in her hungry mouth, and they tasted delicious.

“The instructor is so awesome.”

Xu Youyou, who had witnessed the whole process, chatted with Lu Chenjun in a low voice. The instructor obviously didn’t do anything, didn’t berate anyone, or hit them, but he was able to make Liu Miaomiao relent.

Lu Chenjun: “……Average.”

He had read this kind of tactic in a book when he was two years old and it would probably only work to a three-year-old kid.

Just when Lu Chenjun was thinking about whether Liu Miaomiao would continue to cause trouble in the next few days and what the silly deer’s reaction would be, he felt a tug on his sleeve.

He turned his head and saw Xu Youyou blinking her big eyes and smiling brightly at him, while not forgetting to stretch out her right hand and shake it in front of him.

“Juanjuan, I washed my hands~”

The meaning couldn’t be more obvious!

Lu Chenjun: “……”

Was his hair that nice to touch?!

Feeling the increasingly proficient hair-smoothing skills on the top of his head, Lu Chenjun seriously pondered, if he wanted to shave his head after returning home, would his mother agree?

Qin Yiren would definitely not agree, and Lu Chenjun wouldn’t really shave his head. He could only make a slightly retaliatory decision. If there were disgusting green peppers for lunch tomorrow, he would put them all in Xu Youyou’s bowl!

———pr

At 8:00 in the evening, the five children were finally able to rest after jogging three more laps, stretching their muscles with the help of the instructor, and reviewing what they had learned during the day.

Then they washed up with the help of the cafeteria aunts and the instructor, and then they sat neatly on the small bench specially designed for children. The little guys looked at the instructor’s hand in front of them with their big bright eyes…… which was holding tablets.

The instructor said that because their performance that day was barely decent, they would be given a half-hour to video chat with their parents.

Of course, only the instructor himself knows how much exaggeration that sentence contained for motivational purposes.

Soon, all five children each got tablets, and familiar faces appeared on the screen.

“Mom, Dad!”

“Grandpa!”

“Waah, Miaomiao miss you so much……”

……

Voices with a sobbing tone resounded in the concrete room, and this time, not only Liu Miaomiao, but even Qian Xin was wiping tears.

What seemed like a short day was a long time for these children. They were so tired and hungry, and……

There were so many words that they only turned into cries.

Even the mature-looking Liu Yanzhi’s eyes turned red in front of his grandfather. After all, he was still only three years old.

In such an atmosphere, Xu Youyou and Lu Chenjun seemed a bit out of place.

Forget about Lu Chenjun, he’s an enigma. Counting on him to act coquettishly with watery eyes, one might as well expect money to fall from the sky.

So Qin Yiren also calmly asked Lu Chenjun what he did during the day and how he felt. Even if these could be seen on the surveillance camera, she still wanted to talk to her son.

Fortunately, Lu Chenjun was very considerate this time. Although he still didn’t talk much, he answered every question seriously. It was harmonious and had a hint of warmth.

But when the instructor’s gaze turned to Xu Youyou, he couldn’t help but blinked hard, and even doubted the scene in front of him.

“Youyou, hiss—— So spicy!”

Xu Wenyin had already known about this half hour of parent-child time, so she showed up at home in advance to prepare.

She happened to have half an hour left, but this would delay her late-night snack plan.

But Xu Wenyin hadn’t eaten anything that day, and she’s really…… craving for food.

She quickly figured out that chatting with Xu Youyou wouldn’t keep her from eating, plus they had already finished most of their conversation in Xu Youyou’s mind.

So when the video screen opened, in front of Xu Youyou, in addition to Xu Wenyin, there was also a lot of food.

Bearing in mind that she could eat without worrying about her body having problems, and that Xu Youyou wasn’t around, Xu Wenyin ordered a table of food with great enthusiasm.

Spicy braised meat, deep-fried fried chicken, grilled meat skewers, and ice-cold milk tea…… She was fine with the delivery fee. Xu Wenyin directly ordered three cups.

She wanted to try all three flavors!

“Glug, glug.”

After drinking half a cup of refreshing watermelon bubble tea in one gulp, the spiciness in her mouth finally eased, and Xu Wenyin made a burping sound with a satisfied smile on her face.

“Ah, it’s really refreshing.”

After saying that, she sighed, “Unfortunately, the book said that you’re still young and can’t eat these.”

“But this fried chicken is really good!”

“Crunch, crunch——”

It’s the sound of teeth biting into the crispy skin, and just listening to it…… feels like they could smell and taste the food.

At some point, the guardians of the four children discovered that none of their children’s eyes were on them, and thought it was strange.

“Gulp.”

The sound of swallowing saliva came from somewhere, and there was more than one.

Even the instructor on the side, who prided himself on being ruthless, saw this scene and wanted to question a certain parent. Is this what normal people do?
