Chapter 76

Xu Yirou didn't show favoritism; she bought Dou Dou a toy car to ride and Kang Kang a ball to play with.

When DouDou got tired from her performance, she happily got off the car, ran to Xu Yirou's side, lay down, spread out like a pancake, stuck out her little tongue, and tilted her head to stare at her.

[How dare this little rascal steal the robe! He's seducing our viewers!]

"Ahhh, I heard it! It said it wants to go home with me."

"It's begging for a pat," the zookeeper explained with a loving smile. "DouDou, you're so good at being affectionate, but we're boys."

DouDou didn't understand, but continued to wink at him.

Xu Yirou giggled, first rubbing its soft little ears, then patting its fluffy little belly.

"Mmm~ Mmm~"

DouDou let out a soft, comfortable chirping sound.

On the other side, seeing this, the little tiger Kang Kang got up, ignored Bubble's attempts to stop him, strolled over, lay down, and turned his belly up.

While washing its face with its little paws, it acted cute, saying, "Awoo, awoo."

They were so familiar with the process that they couldn't be more familiar with it.

The zookeeper was both amused and exasperated: "Oh dear, you two are such clingy little devils."

"Meatball, Kang Kang is jealous of you and Dou Dou!" Bubble said, holding a small comb for grooming Kang Kang. "You groom Kang Kang, and I'll rub Dou Dou's tummy~"

The two cubs took turns happily petting each other, each with a clear division of labor.

I visited Kang Kang and Dou Dou in the morning. During the two-hour break at noon, Xu Qingyan personally took Xu Yirou to the laboratory for a full-body checkup.

Because of her previous blood-drawing experience, Xu Yirou had developed a deep psychological aversion to Professor Yunlan. The moment she saw Professor Yunlan, she jumped up on the spot.

To welcome Xu Yirou, Yunlan deliberately didn't wear a white coat, instead dressing up as a kind old lady.

Unfortunately, these superficial appearances could no longer fool the cubs. Less than a week had passed since the last blood draw, and the scene was still vivid in their minds.

Xu Yirou covered her arm, which seemed to be throbbing slightly.

"Dabao, I don't want a shot, and I don't want to have my blood drawn!"

The mother goose huddled up, clinging tightly to her chick's thighs.

Yunlan stopped a few steps away, bent down and coaxed softly, "Rou Rou, Aunt Yun promises you no injections or blood draws today."

Xu Yirou pouted and shook her head repeatedly, complaining in a low voice, "That's what you said last time. I won't be fooled again."

Babies also have dignity; they can't fall into the same trap twice.

Xu Qingyan patted the soft top of the cub's mother's head. "Mom, I'll stay by your side the whole time today. I promise I won't let anyone give you any injections or draw blood. I'm your son, and I'll protect you. You can trust me."

Believe it for nothing.

Xu Yirou glared angrily upwards: "Then why didn't you protect me last time?"

Xu Qingyan choked.

In Xu Yirou's mind, he had long been labeled as Yunlan's accomplice, a son who had brought shame upon his mother.

Xu Qingyan knew that the cub's mother was not easy to fool, so she simply went straight to the point and said, "Mom, Aunt Yun is the leader of the team we invited to investigate the reason why you shrunk overnight."

"After your last blood draw, Aunt Yun discovered that you are not only healthy, but also have substances in your blood that can fight cancer and delay aging. Your blood is very special. If you cooperate with them to have another physical examination today, we might be able to find out why you have shrunk."

"Only by knowing the real reason can we feel at ease and better prepare for what may happen in the future."

"Mom, do you understand now?"

Xu Qingyan's long, carefully chosen words sounded to Xu Yirou as:

￥%@#&*& Anti-cancer, slows aging, the blood is very special#%! ……

Xu Yirou raised her head: "Dabao, is my blood that special?"

"Yes, it's even more precious than Rh-negative blood."

Xu Yirou's eyes widened suddenly.

Giant pandas are national treasures, so how can their blood be more precious than that of panda cubs?

Oh my god!

Seeing that Xu Qingyan had already laid out her mind, Yunlan chimed in, "Rou Rou, finding out the cause of your illness isn't just for yourself, but also for others suffering from illness. The special substance in your blood might help sick people regain their health..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Qingyan's eyes darkened, and she interrupted him coldly, "Aunt Yun, watch your words."

Professor Yunlan was slightly taken aback, then belatedly realized that she had misspoke and stood up apologetically.

Xu Yirou understood, and her round, still somewhat childish face lit up with joy: "So my blood can save sick people! That's wonderful!"

"Mother……"

"Da Bao, why didn't you say so sooner?" Xu Yirou put her hands on her hips and grumbled unhappily, "You should have told me about something so important earlier."

Xu Qingyan: "Mom, you're still young, you don't need to worry about saving anyone. Just be happy and healthy every day."

Xu Yirou raised her chin: "I've always been quite happy, and I'm very healthy now."

"Then I hope you can keep it up."

“But I’d be even happier if I could help others.” The little girl’s innocent eyes sparkled. “Da Bao, don’t you think that’s cool? My blood can save lives.”

"Just like Superman and Spider-Man in the movies who save people everywhere, I will become a superhero that everyone likes."

"That way, the three of you will have a hero mom, isn't that great? So cool!"

Having read too many heroic fairy tales, children unanimously harbor a dream of being a hero who saves the world.

Xu Qingyan couldn't bear to shatter her mother's dream of being a hero, nor could she allow her mother to have such a self-sacrificing spirit of dedication.

He said bluntly, "Mom, I disagree. Things aren't as simple as you think."

"Dabao, don't be so stingy."

Xu Yirou arrogantly tossed her head.

She rolled up her sleeves and took two steps forward. Hesitation and struggle only lingered in her clear eyes for a few seconds. She bit her lip and generously raised her hand: "Aunt Yun, please take my blood. You can take a little more blood and save more people."

The little girl revealed a section of her snow-white, plump arm, as smooth and soft as jelly, clearly a pampered little darling who had been spoiled and pampered by her family.

Yunlan was stunned for a moment, a hint of emotion flashing across her face, when she glanced at Xu Qingyan, whose face was gloomy.

She said softly, "Rou Rou, we won't draw blood today. Ayan is right, you're still too young to be a great hero."

"Why?"

Xu Yirou was extremely disappointed. She looked down and picked at the dimples on the back of her hand, muttering, "That bad adult is so mean. He looks down on kids. I'm not playing with you anymore."

"Because of insufficient educational qualifications."

Xu Qingyan said seriously, "Mom, before Superman and Batman went through nine years of compulsory education, they were just ordinary children. Only after going through nine years of compulsory education can they become great heroes. Saving the world is an adult's job. Children's main task is to study and grow up."

“…But I’m forty-five years old!” Xu Yirou protested, switching effortlessly between four and forty-five. “I’m your mom!”

Xu Qingyan, of course, would not deny it. He smiled slightly and said, "Yes, you are my mother."

“I’ve been to school for several years, I’m not just an ordinary kid like you are.”

"Mom, what is fifteen minus seven?"

"..."

What is seven plus fifteen?

The cub's mother couldn't answer, so Xu Qingyan stopped asking and gently comforted her, "Mom, it's okay. Although you only have a kindergarten education now, as long as you study more, you will never stop here."

Kindergarten education – these five words were prominently displayed on Xu Yirou's forehead.

The mother cub blushed furiously, and then the air raid siren sounded—

"Waaaaah—!"

"Come quick! My son is bullying Mommy!"

"Is there no justice? Is there no law? Waaaaah!"

Xu Yirou kept howling at the top of her lungs, but it was all bark and no bite; not a single tear fell from her fair face.

Professor Yunlan couldn't help but chuckle; Awen's family had raised a little rascal.

Having raised cubs for a long time, Xu Qingyan, a straight man, has become adept at distinguishing between real crying and fake crying. He calmly squatted down, and a picture suddenly popped into his mind.

It was in the presidential suite of the hotel. Her daughter was pestering Jiang Yan to play with her, but Jiang Yan was busy studying the script and couldn't find the time. Bubble was unwilling to give up and kept pestering her, but Jiang Yan still ignored her.

Bubble unleashed its ultimate move, its lips drooping downwards, trembling with wavy lines, and it burst into tears.

He was anxiously waiting to comfort his daughter, but Jiang Yan acted first, calmly putting away her script.

He was slightly pleased, thinking that Jiang Yan had decided to temporarily put aside her work and spend more time with her daughter, but what happened next left him dumbfounded.

She picked up the wailing Bubble, smiled, and raised her hand—

"Waaaaaah!"

The crying stopped abruptly. Bubble: ?

As her daughter cried, Jiang Yan gently covered her mouth with her palm, turning her sobs into loud waaaahs.

Bubble was startled.

Xu Qingyan, who witnessed the whole thing, remained silent for two seconds before letting out a low chuckle.

Bubble was so embarrassed that she never cried or fussed again. The little baby had lost face.

Recalling this scene, Xu Qingyan smiled faintly, and then, as if possessed, reached out his hand.

Xu Yirou: "Waaaaaaah!"

"!!!"

Xu Yirou was shocked and shut her mouth in disbelief, staring intently at the paw that Da Bao had placed on her mouth.

The crying stopped, and Xu Qingyan suddenly woke up.

The next moment, the mother and child: 0.0

Xu Qingyan's face flushed. He pretended to be nonchalant and withdrew his hand. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he forced himself to remain calm as he met his mother's increasingly fiery eyes.

"Da Bao!"

Are you the devil?

Xu Yirou, embarrassed and annoyed, curled her soft fingers and flicked her domineering son's forehead hard: "You naughty boy, who taught you to bully your mom like this?"

The domineering CEO's son squatted down, looking dejected, and listened to the lecture.

The laboratory researchers were all dumbfounded.

Although they already knew that the four-year-old girl was Mr. Xu's mother who had shrunk, they would never have believed it without seeing it with their own eyes.

Even more unbelievable is that a powerful tycoon who dominates the business world is completely controlled by his own mother, and the tycoon even seems to enjoy it.

They were shocked for a whole year; it turns out even the big boss is a mama's boy!

After a while of playful fighting, Xu Yirou's attention was successfully diverted, temporarily suppressing her desire to become a human tank.

With the groundwork laid earlier, Xu Yirou is no longer opposed to the physical examination, and the entire experience has eased the trust crisis between her and Da Bao Yunlan.
