Chapter 205 [The End] My Lucky Baby… Mother…

In July, Xu Leran suddenly moved into the Xingchen Children's Welfare Home with lots of bags and announced that she had become a member of the welfare home.

Faced with everyone's astonishment, Xu Leran crossed his arms and grinned maliciously: "Hmph! I was afraid of being fired before, so I didn't dare to be too strict with you. Now that you have the official positions to protect you, you're in trouble."

An Fusheng, Ji Fengnian, Bai Miaomiao, Bai Mangmang: "..."

Xu Leran kept her word. In the past, she only helped them finish the homework assigned by the school. Now she also adds extra practice on her own. She doesn't know where she gets so much time every day. She not only buys a bunch of workbooks from the bookstore, but also prints out practice questions herself.

An Fusheng is one thing, since finishing his studies earlier means he can take the college entrance exam sooner. Wen Yusheng is urging him every day. Ji Fengnian and Bai Miaomiao are really pitiful. They've already finished their junior high school entrance exams and successfully entered high school. They finally have a summer vacation where they can relax and have fun, but they're being dragged into previewing high school courses. In Xu Leran's words: "They've only graduated from junior high school, and they're still a long way from getting into university. The revolution is not yet complete, comrades, keep striving."

After returning from Jiang Manzhi's place, An Fusheng arranged for a special team to conduct more detailed research on apples, and then rented land to grow vegetables. It seemed simple, but in reality, there were many things to pay attention to. Since it was his first time, An Fusheng was very cautious. He was busy for two or three months, and it's been like this ever since.

Xu Leran felt the timing was perfect, so that An Fusheng would be at the same learning pace as Ji Fengnian and Bai Miaomiao, and she could teach all three at once.

Xu Leran's goal was for the three of them to complete the first-year high school curriculum in the two months of summer vacation. There was a lot of material to learn in the first year of high school, and the three of them were still thinking like junior high school students, so they found it very difficult, especially math, which they found extremely difficult.

That's not all. Shen Yuqiu had somehow reconciled with Wen Yusheng and was even helping Wen Yusheng tutor his students.

An Fusheng finally finished the homework assigned by Xu Leran. Shen Yuqiu handed him a piece of draft paper with handwritten math problems on it. An Fusheng stared at the problems on the draft paper, his mind already wandering.

Shen Yuqiu and Wen Xingmou returned from their 'academic' discussion and found An Fusheng lost in thought, not even having started writing on the previous questions. "What's wrong? Can't do it?"

An Fusheng: "Teacher Shen, could you please not drag me into your feud with my aunt?"

Shen Yuqiu: "When did I ever fight with your aunt? I'm doing this to train you. What? You don't know how to do it?"

An Fusheng certainly didn't know how to cook, but he was now the owner of a restaurant that was about to open a branch, and he cared about his reputation, so he said, "Your handwriting is too messy, I can't read it."

Lou Lan overheard An Fusheng's words as she passed by: "Oh dear, I don't know why you doctors write so illegibly, as if you're afraid others will recognize your handwriting."

Shen Yuqiu: "..."

Shen Yuqiu silently went back to the car and took out a stack of printed questions: "I was going to give them to you when I left."

An Fusheng: What does it mean to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot?

...

One day, while An Fusheng was memorizing English words, he suddenly remembered that Bai Miaomiao had said she would make him clothes before he graduated from junior high school, so he asked Bai Miaomiao about it.

Bai Miaomiao was instantly embarrassed: "Suits are too difficult to make, and I don't have much time to learn..."

“Oh, it’s nothing. I just suddenly thought of it. There’s no rush to make clothes. My studies should come first. Teacher Xu said that I’ll have a lot of free time when I go to university. I’ll have plenty of time to learn whatever I want then. You can make them for me then,” An Fusheng said.

"I did it," Bai Miaomiao said, putting the book down and running away.

An Fusheng: "Huh? Didn't you mean you didn't do it?"

A moment later, Bai Miaomiao returned carrying a box, proudly saying, "I can't make suits, but I've learned how to make shirts."

Ji Fengnian also came over, "Really? You're that amazing?"

Bai Miaomiao opened the box, inside which was a pearlescent shirt folded neatly.

An Fusheng picked up the shirt and discovered that there was actually a pair of black trousers underneath.

Bai Miaomiao: "All that's missing is a suit jacket."

"Thank you, Miaomiao. Here's the money, brother."

The fabric of the shirt and trousers looks very good; Miaomiao must have spent a lot of money on them.

Bai Miaomiao: "This is for you."

An Fusheng: "The fabric must be expensive, right? Where do you get so much pocket money?"

Bai Miaomiao: "It is a bit expensive, but I have made a lot of money sewing lampshades and making wall hangings for you over the years, hehe."

An Fusheng: "Then I'll give you a red envelope too, it's only fair."

Bai Miaomiao: "Big brother, go try it on quickly. I'll fix it if it doesn't fit. Take advantage of Teacher Xu's business trip these two days to steal some free time."

"OK!"

An Fusheng happily took the clothes to try them on, but after a while he peeked out from under the door and asked uncertainly, "Miaomiao, is this shirt really made for me?"

“Yes, is the size wrong? Too big or too small? Try it on so I can see. If the size is wrong, it can be altered,” Bai Miaomiao said.

An Fusheng reluctantly put on the shirt and came out. The shirt had a V-neck, and the opening was a bit low, which he could tolerate, but the sleeves... An Fusheng raised his arms, and the sleeves naturally fell into a fan shape. "Is this... a performance costume?"

Bai Miaomiao's eyes widened: "So handsome! Big brother, you're so cool!"

An Fusheng: "..."

Ji Fengnian also noticed something amiss, "Is this dress for a girl?"

"No, this is a men's Lolita shirt. I used the 'Princess Sleeve' design on the sleeves. It's so beautiful, so classic, so elegant, and it suits you so well, brother." After saying that, Bai Miaomiao ran off like the wind, still looking a little excited.

An Fusheng and Ji Fengnian looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ji Fengnian: "What chicken did she just say?"

An Fusheng shook his head, indicating he didn't understand.

Ji Fengnian crouched down and examined An Fusheng's sleeves, thinking he had figured out the secret. "No wonder, tsk tsk tsk, no wonder, your sleeves look exactly like the tail of a civilized and polite person. No wonder they're called chicken sleeves."

An Fusheng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Miaomiao's imagination is too wild; she can even get inspiration from this."

Ji Fengnian: "Of course! Do you know what that means?"

An Fusheng: "What does that mean?"

Ji Fengnian: "That shows he's a talented person!"

Seeing that An Fusheng didn't understand, Ji Fengnian continued, "Newton saw an apple fall and discovered universal gravitation; the Wright brothers saw a flying bird and invented the airplane; Bai Miaomiao saw a chicken and designed a shirt. When these three are together, what comes to mind?"

An Fusheng: "Your analogy is not rigorous at all. No wonder your Chinese grades are so bad."

Ji Fengnian: "..."

A short while later, Bai Miaomiao returned, accompanied by Lou's mother, Wen's mother, and a few little ones.

"Let me see the clothes Miaomiao made."

"Let me take a look too."

"I'll come and take a look too."

...

Caught off guard by the crowd, An Fusheng felt even more like a theatrical performer.

"Looks great, looks great, you look really handsome in this outfit."

"It's really good, Miaomiao's cooking skills are quite good."

"Wow, big brother's clothes are so beautiful!"

"I don't have clothes as nice as my older brother's."

"Me too."

An Fusheng: "..."

Bai Miaomiao then went out of her way to explain to everyone what Lolita style is, what a blouse with a tuft of fabric is, what chicken sleeves are, what Gothic style is, and what classic and elegant are. The last point is actually self-explanatory; those who know it will know it, and those who don't won't understand, such as An Fusheng and Ji Fengnian.

Regardless, it was a token of Bai Miaomiao's goodwill, so An Fusheng decided to accept it and gave Bai Miaomiao a large red envelope. However, he thought that after accepting the shirt, he would just keep it as a keepsake. Unexpectedly, he actually wore it a few days later because Bai Miaomiao wanted to take Wen Xingmou to a comic convention and asked An Fusheng to accompany them.

An Fusheng initially refused, but Bai Miaomiao said that Wen Xingmou was becoming more and more sensible and easily influenced by other people's words and opinions. She urgently needed to build self-confidence, otherwise she would easily become self-conscious or even depressed when she grew up. At the anime convention, there were all sorts of colorful people, and Wen Xingmou would not feel special if she blended in. Moreover, people who play with anime are more accepting and will not make a fuss or laugh at people who are different from themselves.

An Fusheng was persuaded and agreed to go with them. He was shocked when he got there. There were people of all colors and shapes at the anime convention. His clothes looked too formal among the many strange costumes. However, Bai Miaomiao was right. Wen Xingmou was indeed very ordinary there. Many people were envious of her fair skin and white hair and took pictures with her. Wen Xingmou had a lot of fun.

...

When Xu Leran returned from her business trip, the group was once again forced to study in the study room.

An Fusheng thought high school was so difficult. Math was hard, and English was even harder. Knowing that his English wasn't good, Shen Yuqiu was making things even harder for him, speaking to him in English every time she came over. Unfortunately, Wen's mother was there, so he couldn't disobey. Every day, he was surrounded by Wen's incomprehensible gibberish. An Fusheng was even a little envious of An Shisi. And Wen Xingrui, on the other hand, acted like a studious child, chattering along beside him. An Fusheng couldn't take it anymore: "Aunt Lou! Take Wen Xingrui to school!"

Wen Xingrui was indeed sent to school.

Lin Wuyang also went to school with Wen Xingrui.

Wen Xingrui and Lin Wuyan were, in a sense, brothers in misfortune. From the age of three to five, they endured the suffering of rehabilitation therapy every day. When they weren't undergoing treatment, they often played together. However, both of them had poor motor skills, and they would fall over eight hundred times a day while playing together. Every now and then, when Li Tianle came to the orphanage, he would come up with ideas to compete with them and then completely defeat them, making the two of them angry and cursing.

However, it was precisely because of this that Shen Yuqiu once said that Lin Wuyang did not seem to have autism because he had empathy. Later, Grandma Lin changed the direction of rehabilitation treatment, and now Lin Wuyang has been freed from the label of autism.

...

As winter began, the first branch of Little Star Cafeteria finally opened. Thanks to the solid management structure established by Little Star in the early stages, the branch operated smoothly after its opening.

That winter, a small incident occurred. Grandma Ao slipped and fell while setting up her stall in the rain. It wasn't serious, but An Fusheng wouldn't let her set up her stall anymore and instead brought her to Little Star.

Little Star's various pickled vegetables and kimchi sell very well and have become a specialty of Little Star over the years. Many people who don't eat will buy some kimchi specifically. So An Fusheng opened a special window for selling pickled vegetables at Little Star. The window faces out, so customers who don't eat can buy a serving of pickled vegetables without going into the store, which is convenient and efficient.

An Fusheng assigned Grandma Ao to the sauerkraut window. Grandma Ao was kind, clean, and quick, which contrasted with the young staff in the shop. Soon she became a symbol of the sauerkraut window and was very popular. Whenever she was on leave, customers would ask, "Why isn't Grandma Ao here today?"

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Wen Yue got married.

Wen Yue was the first to get married at the orphanage. Since it was the orphanage's first time hosting a wedding, they had no experience. Wen Min, Lou Lan, and An Fusheng discussed the wedding process, but the three came from different places and had different wedding customs. So, they arranged the process according to what they considered auspicious in their own wedding customs. One of them was that the brother carried his sister on his back to get married. This was a wedding custom in An Fusheng's hometown. The brother carrying his sister on his back to get married was for the groom to see. It was to warn the groom: Even if my sister gets married, she still has her brother to support her. You'd better think twice before you bully my sister.

However, Lin Yuantang was unaware of this process. The orphanage staff were so busy with the wedding that they forgot to tell him. On the morning of the wedding, Lin Yuantang happily came to pick up the bride, only to find that she was being carried by her brother. Confused, Lin Yuantang asked Lou Lan and Wen Min, "Aunt Lou? Why won't my wife let me hold her?"

Lou Lancai suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Lin Yuantang beforehand. She still had some things she wanted to say, so she grabbed Lin Yuantang and said, "I specially asked Fuzai to send Yueyue off to her wedding. Don't bully her in the future. She has a mother, and even if her mother is gone, she still has her brother. She has someone to back her up."

Lin Yuantang said nervously, "Aunt Lou, how could I bully her? I love her, and after I marry her, I will only work harder to protect her."

Lou Lan said with relief, "Aunt Lou believes in you, but this is how etiquette is, and you should understand the reasons behind it."

Lin Yuantang: "I understand, Aunt Lou. Please feel free to entrust Yueyue to me."

"I know you're a good boy, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to let Yueyue marry you. But marriage is bound to have its frictions, Ah Tang. I don't ask that you love and protect her for the rest of your life, I only ask that if you don't want her anymore one day, you give her back to me. She's only lived for a little over twenty years, and she's already suffered so much. When she was three, her biological father committed suicide by burning himself in front of her. She was so frightened that she couldn't speak and needed sleeping pills to sleep. After coming to the orphanage, she underwent two years of psychological treatment before slowly recovering. She was adopted at the age of five, and her adoptive parents had a child." Her son abandoned her again, and because of the withdrawal of her care, her schooling was delayed. She didn't start primary school until she was 8 years old. After starting school, she was often ridiculed by her classmates because she was a little older than them. After graduation, she worked alone outside, and even when she was in so much pain during her period that she almost fainted, she endured it all by herself... She has suffered enough in this life, and Lou's mother can't bear to see her suffer anymore. So, Lou's mother begs you, if you don't want her anymore, please don't hurt her, please give her back... Lou's mother is not angry, Lou's mother is extremely grateful..." Lou Lan's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.

Lin Yuantang's eyes also reddened. He lifted his wedding robe and knelt down in front of Lou Lan. He looked up and said firmly, "Mother Lou, I, Lin Yuantang, swear to you that I will never betray Wen Yue for the rest of my life!"

After making the vow, Lin Yuantang told Lou Lan that he had transferred all his assets to Wen Yue's name, and that Wen Yue would never want him again.

...

Outside the house, there was a lot of banging and noise, while inside, Lou Lan and Lin Yuantang were still talking about Wen Yue's growth. Behind the screen, Wen Yue was sobbing uncontrollably on An Fusheng's back.

An Fusheng could clearly feel the warm tears hitting the back of his neck, each one heavier and hotter than the last. He said helplessly, "You'd better stop crying, or your makeup that you got up at two in the morning to put on will be ruined."

Wen Yue sobbed, "I didn't want to either, but I couldn't help it."

"I told you not to eavesdrop, but you insisted." An Fusheng sighed helplessly, turned around and went back to Wen Yue's room with his back to her, so that the makeup artist could touch up her makeup again.

After touching up her makeup, An Fusheng carried Wen Yue to the wedding car. The moment the car door closed, Wen Yue burst into tears again. Lou's mother wanted to step forward to comfort her, but An Fusheng stopped her, saying, "Don't try to comfort her. If you do, she'll just cry even harder."

An Fusheng turned to Wen Yue in the car and said, "I told you not to rush into marriage, but you wouldn't listen. What's the use of crying now? But if you really don't want to get married, then forget it."

Wen Yue: "I don't not want to get married."

An Fusheng: "Then hurry up and go. Stop crying. Finish the process quickly so you can go home early for dinner. If you waste time here, your whole family will have to wait for you when you get home late. The food won't taste good if it gets cold in this cold weather."

Wen Yue: "I know."

Lin Yuantang: ? ? ?

...

An Fusheng spent two years completing his high school course and successfully entered Nanjing University's School of Social Anthropology, majoring in sociology, through the adult college entrance examination. Bai Miaomiao and Ji Fengnian were extremely envious. Although they all went to "high school" together, their older brother had managed to graduate alone when they were going through the toughest time.

Xu Leran held up one finger and shook it, saying, "No, this isn't 'going ashore,' it's 'going to sea.' The sea of ​​knowledge is boundless..."

Regardless, this is something to celebrate. Before the exam results came out, An Fusheng thought the questions were very easy, a hundred times easier than the questions set by Teacher Shen, and he was sure he would do very well. If he had a bit of luck, he might even be able to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University. However, after the results came out, his score was actually lower than the admission line of Nanjing University in previous years. But to be fair, he did have a bit of luck. This year, Nanjing University's admission score line was the lowest in the past three years, and sociology is a less popular major. An Fusheng was admitted by just barely making the cut.

Shen Yuqiu comforted him: "This is good. You won't regret it if you find out later that this major is not good, because with your score, this is already the best choice. Unlike many people, who study some terrible majors and regret it every time it's too bad, saying, 'If only I hadn't chosen this major, my score could have been used to go to a better major.'"

An Fusheng: "..." He was not comforted at all.

However, An Fusheng was still very happy to have books to read, especially since it was the university life he had always dreamed of!

Of course, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

As soon as he entered university, Wen Yusheng started urging him to take language exams, study this and that, and demand that he be in the top three in every course. An Fusheng had barely made it in, and he was forced to get fifth place in his major after just one semester.

Hearing this, the old man said calmly, "As expected, aiming high yields a middle result, and aiming for the middle result in a lower result. You must get first place next semester."

An Fusheng: Studying is so hard... I want to go home and wield a spatula...

...

Nanjing University's sociology program has an exchange program with the University of Edinburgh. An Fusheng successfully applied for an exchange spot during his sophomore year and spent his junior and senior years studying in Edinburgh.

Wen Yusheng was initially quite disappointed that An Fusheng couldn't go to Edinburgh to study within three years, but unexpectedly, every cloud has a silver lining. An Fusheng studied for two years in Edinburgh for her undergraduate degree and then continued to study for her postgraduate degree in Edinburgh. An Fusheng made up for the two years that were late for her.

After An Fusheng arrived in England, Wen Yusheng's life was incredibly comfortable. She was fed all kinds of delicious food every day, and the things she hated most, such as shopping and housework, were done by someone else. Most importantly, she could also conduct academic research with An Fusheng, especially in field research. She felt that An Fusheng knew more about it than she did, and Wen Yusheng thought that An Fusheng was born to study sociology.

At 27, An Fusheng graduated with a master's degree. Wen Yusheng wanted to drag him to complete his doctoral studies, but An Fusheng simply didn't have the time. During his years of schooling, Xiaoxingchen continued to expand, with more than 1,000 branches, extensions, community canteens, and senior citizen restaurants, and annual revenue reaching 3 billion yuan. An Fusheng wanted to take Xiaoxingchen public.

Over the past five years, not only An Fusheng and Xiao Xingchen have grown and changed, but Xingchen Welfare Home has also undergone tremendous changes. Wen Min's strongly promoted simulated families have been successfully implemented. Due to the large number of parents applying for simulated families, the selection criteria have been raised to a very high level, and the parents in the simulated families are of very high quality. The vegetable garden behind the welfare home has been transformed into rows of small villas, each housing a warm and loving family. Although Wen Xingmou and An Shisi, who originally clamored for parents, have not yet found their ideal parents, Wen Xinghe has gained a new family. Ji Fengnian, worried that his younger sister would be bullied, forcibly joined her family. Fortunately, they can never have too many 'parents', and they boast about their children eight hundred times a day.

Wen Xinghe still hasn't received a suitable cornea, but Shen Yuqiu and his senior sister have restored some light sensitivity to her eyes through a combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatments. Although she still can't see, it's a qualitative leap from the completely dark world she once was. With that little bit of light sensitivity, Wen Xinghe is now able to independently complete most of her daily life and studies.

After Bai Miaomiao went to university, she had more time to learn how to make clothes, and she did her job better and better. Before she even graduated, she had already won several awards. Now, when An Fusheng wears the suits she made, people think they are haute couture. Now she also takes Wen Xingmou with her to make beautiful dresses. They wear the beautiful dresses together to go shopping and attend various events. Those dresses are elaborate and elegant, and when they wear them, they really look like noble princesses.

An Fusheng originally thought that Wen Xingrui looked dull and slow to react, so his grades must be bad. Unexpectedly, his grades were quite good, always first. The key point was that he didn't do his homework when he got home. Every day, he would eat as soon as he got home, eating slowly and leisurely. An Fusheng had suffered enough from studying over the past few years, and he found this to be simply unbelievable.

Wen Xingrui, as always, said honestly yet annoyingly, "I can't run as fast as others in PE class, I can't play games as fast as others, and I can't eat or talk as fast as others. That's why my grades are better than theirs. I'm behind others in everything else, so I have to strive to be ahead of others in my studies."

An Fusheng: Haha, is it because I didn't try hard enough that my grades aren't as good as others?

After An Fusheng went to university, Xiaoxingchen began to expand rapidly, with branches opening one after another. At the same time, it also began to implement its original plan, opening community canteens and restaurants for the elderly. In an era of equal access to mass consumption, Xiaoxingchen has become a source of warmth and comfort for countless families.

As Little Star grew stronger, An Fusheng had to travel frequently for work. During his years studying in England, he often traveled back and forth. An Shisi and Bai Mangmang would accompany him on these trips whenever they had a break. Bai Mangmang lost trust in An Fusheng because he didn't bring back any local delicacies from his first trip to Jiang Manzhi's hometown, and decided to try them herself. An Shisi, on the other hand, was inspired by An Fusheng's gift of a set of camphor seed specimens for his eighth birthday. An Fusheng had initially seen classmates collecting them and found it interesting, but it reminded An Shisi of his childhood dream of being friends with plants, leading him to develop a passionate love for collecting various plant seeds. An Fusheng's frequent business trips with them broadened his horizons considerably; he discovered that there were so many strange and wonderful foods and seeds in the world.

After graduating with a master's degree, An Fusheng began working on the listing of Xiaoxingchen. Listing a company requires ensuring stable and compliant performance, which necessitates investing more energy in operations. He also needs to coordinate the listing process, conduct compliance rectification, liaise with intermediaries such as sponsoring institutions, accounting firms, and law firms, prepare listing application materials, and conduct roadshows and price inquiries. An Fusheng was truly grateful for his years of education, especially his sociology major; otherwise, he would never have been able to complete all those tasks before the listing preparation. Fortunately, when An Fusheng was 30 years old, Xiaoxingchen Cafeteria finally successfully went public.

During the years she studied in the UK, Wen Yusheng would often drag An Fusheng to buy clothes, get his hair done, and even occasionally go for skin care whenever she was happy. So even though An Fusheng has donated all the money he has earned to orphanages over the years, his aunt has raised him to be quite handsome.

As An Fusheng grew older, his facial features became more defined. During the roadshow, everyone was surprised to discover that the owner of Xiaoxingchen Canteen, who came from a chef background, was actually a young and handsome man!

On the day Little Star went public, An Fusheng became an overnight sensation due to his tall, well-proportioned figure and outstanding features, gaining countless fans.

What followed was a barrage of attention and interviews. An Fusheng didn't like excessive attention to his private life, but since Xiaoxingchen had just been launched and needed promotion, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do the publicity, accepting the interviews. As soon as the task was completed, he rushed home.

...

When Qian Bao learned that An Fusheng had returned, she sent him 28 voice messages reminding him to pick her up from kindergarten.

Qianbao is Wenyue's daughter. She is three years old and just started kindergarten. Qianbao is a nickname she gave herself a couple of days ago. Qianbao is just like her name, obsessed with money. Unfortunately, her mother only gives her a one-yuan usage limit on her phone watch every day and doesn't allow her father to secretly give her any. Only Anfusheng is willing to give her unlimited money, but she has to earn it herself. She can earn money by washing dishes, mopping the floor, and tidying up toys. Of course, it's not easy for working people to earn money. If Qianbao breaks a dish while washing dishes or misses a toy while tidying up, she will be penalized. Although it's hard to earn money and she often loses more than she earns, Qianbao still likes her uncle the most.

An Fusheng's assistant had already bought his plane ticket, but in order to get home earlier to pick up Qianbao from school, An Fusheng changed his ticket and arrived at the kindergarten gate early the next day.

As soon as Qianbao came out of kindergarten, he saw his tallest and most handsome uncle in the crowd. He was overjoyed and started shouting from afar, "Uncle! My uncle!"

Qian Bao ran into An Fusheng's arms and gave him a sweet hug. Then, she pulled An Fusheng to wait outside the door to say goodbye to her friends. An Fusheng saw that every time someone Qian Bao recognized came out, she would excitedly shout out their name, run over and give them a big hug, looking very reluctant to part. After the hug, she would even pull her friends over to introduce them to An Fusheng, providing excellent emotional value.

After saying goodbye to all their friends, An Fusheng and Qian Bao were finally able to go home.

Qianbao's kindergarten was the same one An Shisi and Wen Xingmou had attended, and it was very close to the orphanage. An Fusheng didn't drive, so he picked up Qianbao and walked home, chatting with her as they walked: "Qianbao, you've already made so many friends in kindergarten?"

Qian Bao: "Yes, because they all like me a lot, and there's nothing I can do about it."

An Fusheng was amused: "Then why did you tell me in your smartwatch that you asked the teacher for leave from kindergarten? What will your friends do if you miss you?"

Qianbao looked a little embarrassed and held up her short fingers, saying, "But I've been to kindergarten for two days already, and I'm tired of it."

An Fusheng: "Why don't you just go home and rest after school?"

Qian Bao shook her head: "But... I want to rest for another day."

Is going to kindergarten really that tiring? What do you do in class?

"You have to eat a lot of food, do exercises, sing songs, sleep, and say 'Good afternoon, children~ Good afternoon, teacher~', Uncle, let me tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

"Teacher Zhang has a bad temper."

Did Teacher Zhang scold you, or did she scold another child?

"Because she is very gentle in the morning, but not at noon."

"oh?"

"Fu Zai".

"Aunt Lou? What brings you here? Didn't I say I was talking about Jieqianbao?"

Lou Lan: "Someone came to my house looking for you."

Recently, many people have been looking for An Fusheng, especially after he became famous. He has already stated that people should not go to the welfare home to look for him, but there are always those who do not listen. An Fusheng frowned slightly.

Lou Lan said, "I'm not a fan, nor am I here for an interview."

An Fusheng: "Then what are you here for? For business matters, just follow the business process and make an appointment."

Lou Lan: "They say you are... their biological parents."

"His biological parents? His?"

Lou Lan said, "It should be. They said they saw you on the news and came over immediately. They were dressed well, drove a nice car, and seemed polite, but their attitude was actually very forceful. They said they absolutely had to see you, so..."

“Then let’s meet him,” An Fusheng said.

An Fusheng carried Qianbao and Lou Lan towards the orphanage. In the distance, he saw a man and a woman standing at the gate. Before An Fusheng could see their faces clearly, the two stumbled and ran towards them.

“My precious baby…”

That voice… An Fusheng froze, “Mother…”

—The End—

I've hidden the synopsis for now because I haven't decided on a name for the original owner yet, haha. I'll release it when I've decided. If you're interested, you can follow me on my author page; you should receive a notification when the book starts. I plan to have the entire manuscript, or at least two-thirds of it, before starting this book to avoid interruptions and hopefully provide a good follow-up experience. [droopy-eared rabbit head]

Alright, enough chit-chat (I'm always afraid that too much talk will spoil your reading experience). See you next year (expected in June or July). Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year's Day, Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, Happy Chinese New Year, and happiness every day! [fireworks][heart emoji]
