"Yes, I softened."

The little guy, no longer punished with copying, happily nudged his head against Long Qian's chest.

"I love my dad the most."

Long Qian did not answer.

The little guy looked up in confusion and saw his father change again and again, eventually becoming that expressionless and emotionless figure again.

This kind of Long Qian is what gives Qian Yuan the biggest headache.

He cautiously raised his head to look at Long Qian's face, and saw that Long Qian had lowered his eyes and was ignoring him, so he went to blow on Long Qian's eyelashes.

Long Qian blinked, and Qian Yuan realized that Long Qian was alive.

"dad……"

Long Qian ignored Qian Yuan, so Qian Yuan called to him again:

"dad?"

Long Qian then replied:

"Um."

The little guy felt uncomfortable sitting on Long Qian's lap like this, so he wanted to get up. But just as he was about to do so, Long Qian, who hadn't reacted to anything, immediately reached out and pressed down on Qian Yuan's waist.

He forbade Qianyuan from leaving.

Qian Yuan is his only antidote.

"Okay. I'm not leaving."

Qian Yuan let Long Qian hold him tightly in his arms with one arm, while his other hand held a weapon at all times, and he might only be able to let his guard down when he was about to die.

Long Qian could only be thankful that Qian Yuan had always been an obedient child. No matter how much discipline or control she faced, Qian Yuan never went through a rebellious phase. Instead, she was always like a little angel, fulfilling her parents' emotional needs.

Only Chiyuki is a child who is a perfect match for him.

They nourish each other.

Only when Qianyuan felt uncomfortable from his father's tight hug did he finally manage to say something in a soft voice:

"It doesn't feel right. Dad, be gentler."

Then he secretly tried to pry open Long Qian's hand, only to meet Long Qian's reddened eyes.

Sigh, dads are starting to become "baby dads" all over again.

Qianyuan patted Long Qian's back comfortingly, as if she knew exactly what to do:

"Daddy, sweetie, do you want something to eat?"
