Chapter 100 (One update per chapter)

Chapter 100:

Li Wei arrived at Mu Zheng's building quickly, parked his car, and went upstairs to pick up Ye Qingxi.

Ye Qingxi slung her backpack over her shoulder, while Qin Cheng added a bowl of cat food to the donut and placed it in its usual eating spot.

He patted Donut's fluffy head, and Donut tilted its head back and rubbed against his palm affectionately.

Seeing Qin Cheng's reluctance, Li Wei suggested, "Why don't you take it with you?"

“No,” Ye Qingxi said. “Cats can’t be moved to different places easily, it will cause them stress.”

Qin Cheng nodded, "Mm."

He stood up, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and walked up to Li Wei.

"I'll be back tomorrow, then I can continue taking care of it."

"Okay," Li Wei said with a smile. He didn't own a cat and didn't really know about this.

Judging from this, their two young masters are quite responsible.

They are all good children.

Li Wei led the two of them outside.

Mu Zheng and Qin Luan went downstairs together and watched Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng get into the car.

"See you tomorrow, Mom and Dad," Qin Cheng said, sitting by the window and rolling down the window.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Qin Luan smiled.

Qin Cheng waved his hand before rolling the car window back up.

Li Wei started the car.

Ye Qingxi glanced back at Mu Zheng and Qin Luan, who were still standing there, hoping that he had discovered them in time and that Qin Luan was not seriously injured.

When they got home, Mu Feng was already waiting for them in the living room.

"Grandpa~" Ye Qingxi ran happily to Mu Feng's side and sat down next to him.

Qin Cheng sat down next to him.

"My aunt and uncle went out, so my brother is coming home today. We'll be sleeping together tonight."

As Ye Qingxi spoke, she hugged Qin Cheng's arm, looking very happy.

Qin Cheng felt happy but also a little embarrassed as he was being held by him.

“I’ll sleep in my dad’s room,” he added, looking at Mu Feng.

Mu Feng had received a call from Mu Zheng earlier and learned about Qin Luan's situation.

Therefore, he didn't ask any further questions and simply said, "Okay."

"Oh, right, Grandpa, my brother has something to show you." Ye Qingxi remembered that Qin Cheng had said he was going to show Mu Feng his felt figurine earlier in the car, so she quickly reminded him.

Qin Cheng took off his schoolbag, took out the felt doll he had hidden inside, and showed it to Mu Feng, "Uncle Li gave it to me. Xiao Xi has one too."

Ye Qingxi then took out his felted wool figurine again, saying, "This is mine."

Mu Feng looked at Ye Qingxi and saw her gently wink at him.

What a clever little devil, Mu Feng thought. Only a normal child would think of such a thing.

This was originally a gift from Li Wei to Ye Qingxi. Because Ye Qingxi had shown goodwill to Li Wei by giving him steamed buns, Li Wei reciprocated with goodwill and affection.

Therefore, Mu Feng did not ask Li Wei to make one for Qin Cheng as well.

You reap what you sow; Ye Qingxi put in the effort, and that's why he reaped the rewards.

This is normal and correct.

Overemphasizing fairness and demanding that those who haven't put in the effort receive the same rewards is itself unfair.

If Qin Cheng saw Ye Qingxi's felted wool figurine and wanted it, then he should do the same as Ye Qingxi to make the effort and get what he wanted.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; everything you get is earned.

This is Mu Feng's eternal life motto.

He is a typical aggressor, with ideas, goals, and drive, so he believes that if you want something, you should work hard to get it yourself.

Instead of doing nothing and envying others for having things you don't have.

Even if Qin Cheng is upset or unhappy about this, Mu Feng will still teach him the same lesson, letting him know that nothing comes to you for no reason; you must do something to get what you want.

But Ye Qingxi was clearly much gentler than him.

He didn't want his brother to feel disappointed because he had one while he didn't, so he specifically asked Li Wei to make another one, and pretended that he also received it today, pretending that Li Wei treated them the same way.

He cares about Qin Cheng, and Qin Cheng cares about him too.

Mu Feng was very happy.

This made him even happier than when he taught Qin Cheng that he should work hard for anything he wanted.

For Mu Feng, brotherly love and harmony within the family are always the most important things.

Mu Feng could reluctantly accept that his child was mediocre and incompetent, but he could never accept that his child would fight with his brothers.

He would sigh at the former, and grieve at the latter.

Mu Feng looked at the two children sitting side by side in front of him.

Although they are not blood brothers, their bond is no less than that of their father.

"Let me see." Mu Feng took the felted wool figurines from Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng as if he had never seen them before.

“This is Xiao Xi,” he said, pointing to her. “This is Xiao Cheng.”

"These two are me, aren't they?" he pretended to guess.

Qin Cheng nodded. "Doesn't it look very similar?"

"Yes, a little."

"Grandpa, do you like it?"

"Do you like it?" Mu Feng asked Qin Cheng.

Qin Cheng nodded again.

No one had ever given him such a gift before. "He and his grandfather," Qin Cheng thought, he really liked it.

“I like it too,” Mu Feng said.

Qin Cheng smiled happily when he saw that he liked it too.

Mu Feng returned the little figures in his hands one by one.

Ye Qingxi looked at him and said, "Grandpa, if you like it, I can give you this."

Although he really wanted to hang it on his schoolbag, hanging it on Mu Feng's keys seemed like a good alternative.

Upon hearing this, Qin Cheng immediately said, "Grandpa, you can have mine too."

Hearing their words, Mu Feng's eyes slowly filled with a smile. His two grandsons were really well-behaved.

"Grandpa, no, this is something for you kids to play with, not for me."

He said, "I like it because you like it, and I'm happy to see that you like it. You can play with it yourselves."

Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng understood, and put away the felted wool figurines they were holding.

The three of them sat and talked for a while when Mu Feng's phone rang.

Ye Qingxi then dragged Qin Cheng to do his homework.

However, before doing his own homework, he decided to check how well Mu Shaoyan had done his homework.

"Brother, you write first, I'll be back soon." Ye Qingxi put her schoolbag in Mu Zheng's bedroom and turned to walk out.

Qin Cheng: ? ? ?

Qin Cheng was a little confused, but Ye Qingxi ran too fast. By the time he turned around after hearing this, Ye Qingxi had already reached the door.

Qin Cheng had no choice but to do his homework alone for the time being.

Ye Qingxi ran to the door of Mu Shaoyan's room, pushed it open, and went inside.

He went straight to the small study and saw Mu Shaoyan sitting at his desk, deep in thought about the test paper in front of him.

"Is it difficult?" Ye Qingxi walked to his side.

Mu Shaoyan looked up and saw the adorable way the boy was staring at his test paper. He pulled him into his arms and teased him, "Where's my little cake? Didn't you say you were going to bring me a little cake?"

"My aunt wasn't feeling well, so I sent her to the hospital. That means there won't be any small cakes left."

Mu Shaoyan was surprised, "Sister-in-law is not feeling well? What's wrong? Is it serious?"

"I don't know," Ye Qingxi said frankly. "But my uncle came back; he went with my aunt."

"I see. I hope everything is alright." Mu Shaoyan said with a sigh, "Otherwise, your uncle's family has really had a lot of bad luck."

After he finished speaking, he remembered something and said, "Do you know what it means to have a life full of twists and turns?"

Ye Qingxi: ...You underestimate me, don't you?

Ye Qingxi nodded, "It means a life full of hardships and misfortunes."

Mu Shaoyan: !!!

"You actually knew that."

Ye Qingxi smiled and recited to him, "Bad luck and a life full of twists and turns; Feng Tang grows old easily, and Li Guang is hard to be ennobled."

“I heard my grandfather reciting this, and I asked him what it meant.” Ye Qingxi once again attributed the credit to Ye Min, the former academic star.

Mu Shaoyan: ...

Mu Shaoyan thought he was really amazing!

You can remember all of that!

"You won't have to worry about Chinese in your college entrance exam."

That's for sure, Ye Qingxi thought to himself, this is the subject he's best at of all!

"Then, Uncle, work hard and try your best so you won't have to worry about your Chinese exam in the college entrance exam."

"No problem," Mu Shaoyan agreed. "I'll definitely get over 120 in Chinese next time!"

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?

Ye Qingxi was skeptical, "Really?"

"If all else fails, 110 or so will do," Mu Shaoyan gave himself some leeway. "Anyway, it'll definitely be higher than this time."

"Yes." Ye Qingxi looked at him. "Uncle, you can definitely do it."

Hearing his unwavering trust in his tone, Mu Shaoyan couldn't help but hug him tightly again and rub his little face against his chest.

His little nephew is so nice!

He really loves his baby!

Mu Shaoyan raised his head and gave Ye Qingxi two quick kisses on the cheek.

"Alright, go play now, I'm going to continue doing my test."

He's determined to fight for his baby!

"Wow!" Ye Qingxi exclaimed in surprise, "So hard-working!"

So Ye Qingxi readily agreed with an "oh," stood up, and left his embrace.

"Good luck, Uncle. If there's anything you don't know, leave it blank for now. Don't think about it for too long, and remember to rest," Ye Qingxi advised.

"I know, I know." Mu Shaoyan felt a warmth in his heart.

Only then did Ye Qingxi feel relieved enough to leave his room and return to Mu Zheng's room.

Qin Cheng was doing his homework in Mu Zheng's small study.

Next to her was the chair he had prepared for Ye Qingxi, and Ye Qingxi's little schoolbag.

As Ye Qingxi approached, Qin Cheng looked up and asked curiously, "What were you doing just now?"

"I went to see my uncle. I promised to bring him a small cake, but I didn't, so I'm letting him know."

"Come to my house again when my mom isn't so busy, have some cakes, and bring some for your uncle too," Qin Cheng said kindly.

Ye Qingxi smiled and said, "Mm."

He took out his notebook and started writing with Qin Cheng.

Aunt Zhang was worried they would be hungry, so she steamed shrimp dumplings and sent a basket to the two of them, and another basket to Mu Shaoyan.

Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng ate and wrote at the same time. After they finished eating the shrimp dumplings, they also finished writing.

Qin Cheng, displaying the demeanor of an elder brother, checked Ye Qingxi's homework and praised her, "Xiaoxi, you did very well, all correct!"

He felt very gratified at that moment.

After all, when he first met Ye Qingxi, she would get sleepy as soon as she started reading, and Qin Cheng was very worried that she would be like that when she went to school and that her grades would not be good.

Ye Qingxi thought to herself: That's right, first grade, so easy!

“Let’s go take a shower,” he said.

He was exhausted after a long day.

Qin Cheng: ! !

Qin Cheng has never taken a bath with other children his age before!

Qin Cheng happily took his hand, eager to unlock this new experience.
