Chapter 21
Jiang Chen is not as tired as other parents when taking the child out. Xiao Zhuang doesn't cry or make a fuss and is very obedient.
After visiting the museum, it was still dark.
It’s still early and there’s nothing to do if I go back so early.
Jiang Chen took Xiao Zhuang to a toy store. When he was at the twins' house, he saw many novel children's toys. Looking back at his own home, although Xiao Zhuang had a lot of toys as well, he seldom saw him playing with them.
Yesterday, Xiao Zhuang seemed to like playing with the excavators very much, so Jiang Chen immediately bought a few of them.
Thinking that the house was too big and it would be inconvenient for Xiao Zhuang to move around at home, he added a few children's flying cars, sports cars, and tractors.
He buys everything he thinks is good-looking.
Jiang Chen's purchasing power is so terrifying that he bought a lot without paying attention.
Even he himself didn't realize that he loved shopping so much. When he lived in the palace, he couldn't go out without permission. He had a lot of affairs to deal with every day and had no time to go out of the palace to go shopping, let alone find time to take the little zombie out to play.
Looking back on his past life, Jiang Chen felt completely indebted to Xiao Jiang.
Although Xiao Zhuang has been by his side since birth, he really didn't take Xiao Zhuang's feelings into consideration most of the time.
Now that he has arrived in the interstellar world, there are not so many dogmas, etiquette and rules. Jiang Chen feels that the time now is what he wants most.
Once people have their own lives, they will find that life is so beautiful.
He no longer needs to worry about any family relationships or the reputation of the aristocracy. He just needs to accompany the little zombie to grow up happily.
There were so many toys that Pink Rabbit had to arrange for the store staff to deliver them to the door.
Xiao Zhuang was sitting in his father's arms. His father took him out and bought a lot of things today.
The child didn't have any other thoughts, he just felt happy to be with his father.
Unforgettable memories, he was afraid that his father would not wake up no matter how much he called him, just like before.
"Xiao Zhuang wants to be with daddy forever..." Xiao Zhuang buried his head in his arms, his voice as thin as a thread.
Jiang Chen was surprised. This time he was sure that it was Xiao Zhuang who said it on his own initiative, and it was not Xiao Zhuang's inner voice.
Tears welled up in his eyes again, "Daddy will always be with Xiaojiang."
The pink rabbit stared at the father and son intently. Although he was a robot, he felt that the scene was really heartwarming.
He will print out all the photos he took today soon.
When preparing to go home, Jiang Chen took Xiao Jiang to the cake shop and bought a few beautiful small cakes. Although they would not eat them, they could put them at home as decorations.
It was already 8 o'clock in the evening when we drove back to the villa.
Xiao Zhuang held the small cake his father bought for him and placed it on his small stand.
The cake he had taken a bite of was still there. Deep in the valley where the villa was located, the temperature was very low, and the cake had not spoiled after several days and still retained its fresh color.
Xiao Zhuang put today's cake together with the previous one. He smelled them one by one and liked the sweet smell of the cake very much.
Jiang Chen selected a few fresh photos of him and Xiao Zhuang today and hung them on the wall. The entire wall was covered with photos of Xiao Zhuang. He thoughtfully hung up the photo of Xiao Zhuang and his classmates yesterday as well. The photos were selfies taken by the kids with a Polaroid camera.
The kids in the photo are all very clever and mischievous. Xianxian is making faces, Linyin is acting cool, Xiaoyi and Sisi are smiling brightly, and Xiaojiang is standing obediently in the middle with a red face. Jiang Chen's heart is melted by the cuteness they see.
His little zombie finally has a good friend.
When Jiang Chen later posted the photo of them with Pink Rabbit, Pink Rabbit was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. After being a housekeeper for so many years, he had never taken any photos with his employers. Only Jiang Chen and Xiao Zhuang treated him as family.

Shu Jinye waited outside the villa for several hours until Jiang Chen's car came back.
Warm yellow lights lit up in the villa deep in the woods.
He specially went to pick out a lot of gifts this afternoon, and his special assistant behind him was covered in bags of gifts.
Shu Jinye has to attend classes at the military academy from Monday to Friday, and all the company's work piles up at night or on weekends.
The special assistant didn't expect that he would set aside the entire day just to prepare gifts for Jiang Chen and Xiao Jiang.
“Ding Dong.”
The villa doorbell rang again.
Pink Rabbit took out a handkerchief and wiped the electronic tears on his screen, then quickly tidied up his appearance and went to open the door.
It should be the toy for Young Master Xiao Zhuang that has been delivered.
As soon as I opened the door, the familiar face from breakfast appeared again.
"Mr. Shu, what are you doing?" Pink Rabbit was a little confused. Didn't Shu Jinye just come here this morning?
At this time, he even changed into a different set of clothes from the morning.
"Isn't it disturbing you?
"I came in such a hurry this morning that I forgot to give Mr. Jiang a gift."
Shu Jinye looked inside the house through the pink rabbit.
There was a screen at the entrance, and he could only vaguely see Jiang Chen's figure.
The assistant behind him quickly carried the gifts into the house. "These are gifts from my master."
When entering the room, the special assistant glanced at Shu Jinye's rare upturned mouth. He was only eighteen years old, so why was he so interested in a single father with a child?
He'll have to go tell his wife about it soon.
The special assistant moved it back and forth several times.
There was a lot of noise at the door, and Jiang Chen walked over leisurely.
After seeing Shu Jinye twice in one day, he felt a little repulsed in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
That gorgeous face was still as calm as a lake. "Mr. Shu, there's no need to spend so much money. We are just partners."
Xiao Zhuang hid behind Jiang Chen. He hugged his father's calf with only half of his face exposed as he looked at Shu Jinye.
After so many years, the image of Emperor Chen had long been blurred in his mind.
Shu Jinye looked at the shy little zombie and inexplicably liked him from the bottom of his heart.
"These are the gifts I picked specially for Xiao Zhuang." Shu Jinye said with a smile.
Just as the special assistant was moving the gifts, a large pile of toys that Jiang Chen bought in the afternoon were delivered to his door.
Several delivery robots lifted the large box together, and they used the box to push away Shu Jinye who was blocking the way.
“Who will sign for it?”
Pink Rabbit hurried forward.
Busy delivery robots obstruct the view inside.
Shu Jinye: “…”
He felt a little regretful. He should have come to deliver it earlier, but he had to come at this time.
I guess the gifts he gave will eventually gather dust.
The entrance of the villa was in a mess because there were too many express deliveries. Shu Jinye felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so he said hello and goodbye and left in a hurry.
"Master, what are you trying to do? Mr. Jiang already has a child."
Shu Jinye remained silent.
He just wanted to get close to Jiang Chen for some inexplicable reason.
But he seemed too enthusiastic today, and Jiang Chen's attitude towards him was not friendly.
"By the way, Master, would you like me to cancel your comprehensive skills class with the kindergarten children tomorrow?"
"This course doesn't count as admission credit and is a waste of time."
Shu Jinye recalled the appearance of Xiao Zhuang. Jiang Chen was indifferent to him, so he could first get along well with Xiao Zhuang.
"No, I want to join."
Special Assistant: “???”
Did he hear it right?
*
There were too many express deliveries last night, and Jiang Chen and the housekeeper worked together to open them until very late.
The new toys I bought for Xiao Zhuang are now neatly arranged at home.
There was no time to open the things Shu Jinye sent and they were all put into the warehouse.
End of a fulfilling weekend.
Xiao Zhuang has to go back to kindergarten.
Today is Monday, and many students still have holiday syndrome. When they arrive at the classroom door, they don’t want to come to class no matter how their parents try to persuade them.
Xiao Zhuang has taken out a small picture book and is sitting in the reading corner reading obediently.
Xiaoyu carried his small black schoolbag and walked over to Xiaozhuang and sat down.
"Xiao Zhuang, this is the dessert my mom made for me. I'm sharing it with you~" Xiao Yu's lunch box is in the shape of a black cat, very cute.
"Thank you." Xiao Zhuang looked up and found a rainbow emerging from the dark clouds above Xiaoyu's head.
"By the way, my mother said we have a comprehensive class in the afternoon, and she asked me to pick a mortal with extremely good luck as my partner." Xiaoyu muttered to himself while eating snacks, not realizing that he had revealed the secret that he was not a mortal.
Xiao Zhuang didn't understand what he meant and just nodded in agreement.
"Is it delicious? These are all good ingredients, full of spiritual energy. I won't give them to others."
There are many greedy people in the class. Anyone who gets close to Xiaoyu will be unlucky, so others will not get close to Xiaoyu even if they are drooling. This is the first time Xiaoyu has shared food with classmates.
He likes to get along with Xiao Zhuang. Whenever he is with Xiao Zhuang, he feels relaxed. He likes this relaxed feeling. Besides, Xiao Zhuang is immune to his unlucky power.
Xiao Zhuang didn't want to spoil Xiao Yu's fun, so he took a piece and put it in his mouth. "Mmm, delicious."
"I told you it was delicious." Xiaoyu talked to himself and finished the snacks in the lunch box in a short while.
Kindergarten principal's office.
The Dean of Studies adjusted his thick glasses anxiously, "Headmaster, there are ten more freshmen in the military academy this time. How are we going to assign them to the comprehensive courses?"
"Do we really have to let the Little Chrysanthemum Class make up the numbers?"
The director of the garden was chewing on a meat pie that he had bought with great difficulty from the most popular restaurant in the Federation. His beard was greasy from the food.
"What else can we do? The other classes have already participated. If we pick a few more students who have participated to make up the numbers, the parents will definitely object."
"Besides, aren't there a few good kids in this class?"
Dean of Studies: “…”
This "乖" should be a derogatory word, right?
"Partner assignments will begin this afternoon. Hopefully, these new students are tough enough... Hopefully..."

Long's Manor.
Long Qi Che lay on his big bed, not wanting to move at all.
"Master, why don't you want to go to school today?" The housekeeper begged at the door, holding a small schoolbag.
"The lady will be here soon. She will be sad to see you like this."
“Tsk!”
Long Qi Che was annoyed by the housekeeper's inner drama. He frowned and buried himself in the quilt.
A few minutes later, a handsome man hurried in. He knocked on the door gently and walked into the room with a sad look on his pretty face.
"Che'er, why are you like this again?"
“I don’t want to go to kindergarten.”
"But wasn't everything fine last week?"
The man was very worried about his son's psychological problems. Long Qi Che had never had any friends.
If children don’t even go to kindergarten nowadays, they may develop serious psychological problems.
Because Long Qi Che can hear other people's thoughts, he matures earlier than ordinary children.
Listening to the chaotic inner drama every day was annoying enough, and his sleep was seriously affected, causing his temper to become more and more irritable.
There were many servants in the house, and they had assigned at least one person to take care of him, but he still couldn't calm down.
"Che'er, your father knows your difficulties. Your father and I are already trying to find a way to help you solve this problem."
Long Qi Che didn't want to respond. They had said this countless times.
"Will you just hold on for one more semester?"
There were too many people in the kindergarten class, and the children were already chattering non-stop. He could hear every child's voice clearly, which was a double blow to him.
Seeing the child ignoring him, the handsome man couldn't hold back his tears and was about to cry. He felt very sorry for his child. Such ability would only torture the child for life.
"It's all my fault. I made you suffer... If I had..."
Long Qiche hated to see his father cry. He sat up and said, "You can go to school, but I want to transfer."
