Afterwards, An Jing lazily took a cigarette and put it in his mouth, his eyes narrowing with a lazy and satisfied look, wanting to imitate the domineering CEOs in novels and have a dashing and cool post-coital cigarette.
As a result, Lu Yuqi, who was playing games next to him, glanced at him, and his hand holding the lighter immediately trembled. He reluctantly put the cigarette aside.
"If you have the time, could you rub my back?" This old man really has a lot of energy; he always keeps me up until the middle of the night.
"Okay!" An Jing replied obsequiously, diligently massaging his wife's shoulders and waist, while also taking advantage of the situation. Suddenly, he remembered something, and his smile deepened. "Qiqi, do you think An An is cute?"
Young Master Lu was engrossed in playing the game and casually replied, "Cute."
An Jing coaxed gently, "Isn't it cute? Wouldn't you like to have such a cute child?"
Lu Yuqi paused, "What?"
"Baby, how about you give me one?" An Jing leaned in with ill intent, only to be kicked away hard by his darling. "Get the hell out of here! If you're so great, go have one yourself!"
A wail pierced the roof as An Jing rubbed his aching back, wincing in pain. "How could you hit me so hard? I was just kidding. I was saying, how about we adopt one too?"
Lu Yuqi: "Not very good!"
Raising children is never that simple; he noticed that his usually strong-willed cousin had become quite haggard lately. (Original URL)
However, after An Jing's repeated coaxing and cajoling, and even after borrowing An An for two days, Young Master Lu finally agreed. If someone as cute, well-behaved, and sensible as An An is acceptable, then it's not impossible.
An Jing was in high spirits and took Lu Yuqi to the orphanage several times. In the end, they chose to adopt a four-and-a-half-year-old boy who looked just as cute as An An, but had a different personality...
"Old dog An, what did you tell me back then! You said that all children nowadays are as cute and well-behaved as An'an, and easy to raise. Look at that little brat An Huaixing, he's always climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles if you don't discipline him for three days!" Lu Yuqi grabbed a pillow and threw it at him in a fit of rage.
An Jing caught the thrown pillow with practiced ease. Knowing he was in the wrong, he awkwardly touched his nose and said aggrievedly, "I just thought Xingxing's personality was like yours, she's practically a miniature version of Lu Yuqi!"
“Mom told me that you were just as naughty when you were little. Even the family dog would tuck its tail between its legs when it saw you. Honey, you and Xingxing are a match made in heaven!”
Lu Yuqi: "..."
Is this a compliment or an insult?
Suddenly, a crisp "bang" came from outside. The two looked at each other and ran out at the same time.
In the living room, a vase lay broken on the floor, next to a ball, and not far away stood a cute little boy, who had his head hanging down, knowing he had done something wrong.
An Jing sighed in exasperation, realizing he was doomed.
Sure enough, his wife was already gritting her teeth in anger, "An! Huai! Xing! You broke a cup the day before yesterday, broke a window the day before yesterday, and broke a vase today. What are you going to break tomorrow? Huh?! Didn't I tell you not to play football indoors?!"
The little guy lowered his head and said weakly, "It was the ball that flew there, it has nothing to do with the stars."
Lu Yuqi: "So this broken ball has grown wings, huh?!"
An Jing, standing nearby, coughed lightly and said weakly, "They might be invisible wings."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he received a kick to the shin. He dared not complain, and Lu Yuqi glared at him with a dark expression. "You did something wrong but won't admit it, and you're just trying to shirk responsibility! It's all because you spoiled you!"
That's right. His mother-in-law once told him that when Lu Yuqi was a child, he broke a window, but he didn't dare to admit it. Instead, he blamed it on the family dog, saying that the little dog broke it with a stone.
This little puppy is quite capable.
"Kids need to be taught slowly, it's okay, I'll handle it." An Jing smiled apologetically at his wife, then knelt down in front of his youngest son and patiently persuaded him:
"Xingxing, you can't do this. A good child should bravely admit their mistakes. If you truly know you were wrong, Daddy and Daddy won't blame you, okay?"
After hearing these words, the little one not only did not admit his mistake, but also crossed his arms, turned his face to the side, pouted, and said in a childish voice, "Xingxing is a bad child, so he won't admit his mistake!"
An Jing: "..."
And you know what? This awkward yet arrogant personality is exactly like that brat Lu Yuqi.
Young Master Lu's fist hardened.
"An! Jing! Is this how you got him?!"
"You won't admit your mistake, huh? You two, stand facing the wall and reflect on your actions!"
An Jing felt wronged. "No, I didn't do anything wrong. Why are we still having this system of collective punishment these days?"
Lu Yuqi: "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and get on with it!"
Little An Huaixing sighed helplessly like a little adult, and reached out his little hand to tug at his father's clothes, "Daddy, hurry up."
An Jing: "..."
In the end, the pitiful father and son stood side by side in front of the wall to reflect on their mistakes, while Lu Yuqi sat comfortably on the sofa watching a movie and eating sunflower seeds. This made the two figures, one big and one small, look particularly desolate and quite funny.
An Huaixing, that little brat, is like a monkey, mischievous and naughty every day. Climbing onto the roof and tearing off the tiles is not a solution. We need to think of a way to discipline him. Lu Yuqi looked at the two figures, one big and one small, and pondered deeply. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He had an idea!
Three days later, An Huaixing got into trouble again.
When I was in kindergarten, I hit a classmate and made him cry. Luckily, he wasn't seriously injured, and his parents didn't hold it against me. However, the teacher called to complain.
Unsurprisingly, the little guy refused to admit his mistake. "That chubby kid stole my toy! He deserved it! Humph! Xingxing didn't do anything wrong, the chubby kid is the one who's wrong!"
Well, he certainly has the style he had back in the day.
"This little guy with such small arms and legs can still take down a chubby little guy," Young Master Lu thought to himself, but on the surface he looked fiercely at his youngest son, "An Huaixing, do you admit your mistake?"
An Huaixing: "Hmph!"
Lu Yuqi secretly gave An Jing a wink, and the movie star immediately cried out and collapsed to the ground, weakly closing his eyes and lying motionless like a corpse.
Four-and-a-half-year-old An Huaixing had never seen anything like this before and was terrified. He sat in front of An Jing and shook his arm vigorously, crying, "Waaah, Daddy, get up! What's wrong with you...?"
He looked at Lu Yuqi with teary eyes, "Daddy, Daddy's dead, waaaaah..."
An Jing: "..."
My dear eldest son, you're really going to make me die of filial piety!
"It's nothing, Daddy just fainted." Lu Yuqi tried hard to suppress a laugh. He knelt down and looked at the pitifully crying little boy with a serious face. "Xingxing, do you know why Daddy fainted?"
"The stars don't know, sob sob..."
"Because you're naughty all the time, and you refuse to admit your mistakes. Your daddy's health isn't good, and he faints when he gets angry. He fainted because you made him angry."
The little one wiped away his tears and shook An Jing's body, crying pitifully, "Waaah, Xingxing will be good from now on and will never be naughty again. Daddy, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit him. Waaah, please wake up, waaah..."
"Xingxing will be good from now on, and listen to Daddy and Papa. Daddy, please don't die, waaaaah..."
Lu Yuqi kicked An Jing and said, "That's enough."
An Jing slowly opened her eyes, looking at the little one who was crying with tears and snot streaming down his face, with a mixture of confusion and surprise. "Xingxing, why are you crying?"
"Waaaaah, Daddy, you're finally awake!" An Huaixing threw herself into his arms, wiping her tears and snot on his clothes. "Daddy, don't be angry. If you're angry, you'll faint, and if you faint, you'll die. I'll be good from now on and never make you angry again, waaaah..."
An Jing and Lu Yuqi exchanged a glance. It's done!
This is when the movie star came in handy.
Sigh... It's a bit unethical to lie to children like this.
The performance did have some effect. Four-and-a-half-year-old An Huaixing lost because of his lack of education. The little guy was afraid that his father would faint again, so he did become a little more obedient. At least he was willing to admit his mistakes when he did something wrong.
The glass vases at home suffered less damage, the children in kindergarten were beaten less, and his dad and his mother had less to worry about. Occasionally, he would even act cute and charming, looking at others with his big, bright eyes, leaving even the arrogant king helpless.
One day, Lu Yuqi took An Huaixing to play ball in the yard. When they came back, they found An Jing asleep on the sofa with her head tilted to the side, holding a script in her hand.
“Daddy…”
"Shh..." Lu Yuqi put his index finger to his lips to make a shushing gesture, bent down and whispered in the little guy's ear. A hint of malice flashed in the eyes of the two, one big and one small, and then he tiptoed to An Jing's side.
...
An Jing woke up groggily, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was two children, one big and one small, smiling at him. He instinctively leaned back, "You... what do you want to do!"
"Daddy, Daddy and I have a surprise for you!"
An Huaixing took out a mirror from behind his back and placed it in front of An Jing. An Jing's pupils dilated suddenly. He looked at the dark circles under his eyes, the mole, and the sausage lips drawn on his face, along with various colorful animals—turtles, rabbits, kittens, puppies…
Moreover, it was drawn in an extremely ugly way.
Lu Yuqi proudly waved his phone, "I've already taken a picture. The day you make me unhappy, I'll post it on Weibo so the whole internet can see what you look like!"
An Jing's fist hardened. "You two little brats, do you want a beating?!"
"Oh no! Star, run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuqi and An Huaixing took off running into the yard. An Jing watched the father and son's backs with a helpless yet indulgent look, then got up and chased after them.
"You two naughty devils, don't let me catch you!"
"Or they'll all get a spanking!"
