Chapter 13
With his father's encouragement, Xingnuo pressed the voice button and put his little face close to the phone, with the tip of his nose almost touching the screen.
His little eyes were wide open, he didn't dare blink at all, as if he was speaking with his eyes.
"I am Xingnuo."
His fingers accidentally loosened and the voice message was sent out.
Xingnuo looked at the green voice bar that appeared in the group chat, let out a soft "ah", and quickly held up the phone, raising it high for his father to see.
"dad!"
Shen Wen ruffled Xingnuo's hair, a smile on his lips.
"You're amazing, you learned it in no time."
Xingnuo swayed his short legs a few times when he was praised, and his round, cat-like eyes curved into shallow crescents in a moment, feeling very happy.
Xiao Ran must have been looking at her phone and replied quickly:
"Xingnuo! Come to my house and play~"
"My mom bought a big dinosaur toy~"
There were text or voice messages from other people in the group chat, but Xingnuo didn't open them one by one. He just replied in a baby voice:
"No~"
Dad said he was sick and couldn't go out for some fresh air.
Xingnuo, who was in poor health, replied and rubbed his eyes. Not long after waking up, he started yawning again.
Chen Wen took the phone from Xingnuo's hand, picked up the baby skillfully and gently, and coaxed him to sleep.
When Xingnuo fell into a deep sleep, Chen Wen's gentle shell instantly faded away. He picked up the phone expressionlessly, looked at it coldly for a long time, and clicked on the message of Xiao Ran adding him as a friend.
This should be Xiaoran’s mother’s chat software. Xiaoran used it to send several voice messages to Xingnuo.
Chen Wen was too lazy to pay attention, and didn't click on any of them. He just replied with a few stiff words:
【Xingnuo fell asleep because he was sick. 】
Being able to let me know already means that Chen Wen has a good temper.
The following text should be Xiao Ran’s mother’s reply:
[Is it okay?] I have some commonly used children's medicines here. You can come and get them if you need them. 】
Whenever anything about Xingnuo was mentioned, Chen Wen was always surprisingly patient, and his cold expression was temporarily suppressed.
[No need, the baby has already been treated.] 】
Xiao Ran’s mother is very experienced in raising cubs, and she subsequently posted a lot of posts about her experiences in raising cubs.
Chen Wen had only been raising human cubs for a short time and had little experience, but he learned a lot of useful knowledge from the short essay sent by Xiao Ran's mother.
He pursed his lips lightly and wrote down the key points of raising a cub on the coffee table with a solemn look, copying them down word for word into his own [Cub Raising Diary].
This diary has existed since Xingnuo was born.
The handwriting inside was smooth and handsome, and every page was filled with various cub-raising notes. Some places were so important that Chen Wen marked them with flower bookmarks.
Although Chen Wen was a cold-hearted monster, he put all his energy and effort into raising the human cub.
After copying, Chen Wen casually broke off the tulip petals from the vase, flattened them and sandwiched them between the pages of the book.
Thank you, I learned a lot today. 】
Xiao Ran's mother had a very high liking for the blond handsome father. After seeing him, she clicked her tongue twice and couldn't help but patted her daughter on the head.
"I, your mother, was born too early, otherwise I would have chased after handsome guys!"
Xiao Ran had a stern face, put her hands on her hips and asked angrily:
"I want to play with Xingnuo! Why don't you let Xingnuo come to our house?!"
Both mother and son are obsessed with looks.
Xiao Ran's mother twitched her lips, and gave her daughter, who was noisy like a little sparrow, a hammer on the head, and instantly felt relieved.

Shen Baizhou walked into the classroom with his newly dyed black hair and his school uniform hanging loosely on his shoulders, with a stern face.
Several people who were peeking at this arrogant guy at the window hurriedly returned to their seats and whispered to each other.
"I told you! He's definitely going to dye it back!"
"I dyed my hair twice in just half a month, that's amazing!"
"Director Old Witch personally caught him and gave him a lecture, and he still dared not change?!"
"Do you think he will skip class again this afternoon?"
The last class in the afternoon is a fixed evening self-study class. There is no teacher teaching, so some rebellious students often choose to skip class during this period.
Before they could come up with anything, the teacher came in and announced an important notice.
"There will be a small test in chemistry this afternoon. It will be held during the afternoon self-study class. The scores will be announced on the spot. After the test, you will take the test paper home and sign it!"
The classroom was suddenly filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Only Shen Baizhou sat up straight silently, turning the pen rapidly in his hand, with the corners of his lips raised.
Finally, his chance to prove himself came.
Shen Baizhou will let everyone know that as a monster, his intelligence is no less than that of humans!
An in-class chemistry test ended quickly.
The chemistry teacher wore glasses and gave out the scores in just half an hour.
He sat on the podium, reading out the names and scores, and asked the students to go up to the stage one by one to get their papers.
Shen Baizhou was the last one to come on stage.
"Shen Baizhou...7 points."
Shen Baizhou's hand froze when he took the paper, and a look of great disbelief emerged between his brows.
He straightened the corners of his lips, and with a cold face, he slammed the test paper directly on the desk of the classmate next to him.
"impossible!"
The whole class was frightened by his slap and their hearts skipped a beat.
Dude, you can’t hit people, right?
Shen Baizhou half-closed his eyelids, with a hint of anger in his cold expression. He supported the corner of the table with one hand, with a few blue veins bulging on the back of his fair hand. He pursed his lips and stared at the paper intently.
The bright red "7" hangs on the top of the paper, firmly occupying people's attention.
Shen Baizhou cursed himself, glanced at the classmate whose desk was slapped, and expressionlessly folded up the torn paper carefully and put it in his pocket.
Shen Baizhou was about to leave, but then he thought of something and turned back to look at the chemistry teacher.
The chemistry teacher's heart skipped a beat at his actions. Just as he was about to ask him what he was doing, he saw Shen Baizhou bending down:
"Thank you, teacher."
Respecting teachers is what all human beings do.
The monster Shen Baizhou thought he had done a good job, and used his sleeve to wipe the desk of the classmate who had just taken the test paper, wiping off the paper scraps on the surface.
"Clean it up."
The students who were honored by the teacher to sit next to the podium lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
He felt that the position on the podium should belong to his buddy Shen Baizhou.
***
The chemistry exam was delayed, and it was almost dark when Shen Baizhou returned home.
The pitch-black light obscured Shen Baizhou's cold and smelly expression, preventing his irritability from being revealed too obviously.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the community, a soft and fragrant little ball jumped into Shen Baizhou's arms.
"Woo woo~"
There were still two tears hanging on the little boy's eyelashes, trembling and about to fall off. He wiped them with his little hands, and then all of them were rubbed onto his brother's school uniform.
Shen Baizhou did not disdain his brother's tears. He raised his eyes and gently wiped away the tears on Xingnuo's face with his fingertips. His voice also softened:
"What's going on? Why are you crying?"
Xingnuo put her little face on her brother's shoulder, her face blushing, and she was too embarrassed to speak.
But Chen Wen, who had been standing under the streetlight, was covered in a layer of soft yellow light. He chuckled and exposed the cub:
"Since you didn't come back, Xingnuo was anxious to go out to look for you, but he tripped over a stone on the way and sat on the ground crying and couldn't get up."
Shen Baizhou uttered an "oh" and opened his drooping eyelids slightly. He stared at his brother's cat-like face for a long time.
He suddenly curled his lips:
“It’s quite fun.”
It turns out that human babies will cry when they stumble while walking.
Shen Baizhou helped his brother wipe his tears and sighed:
"I've never tripped over a pebble before."
Shen Wen was too lazy to care about this cheap son, Shen Baizhou.
With your huge body, it would be really embarrassing if you were tripped by a small stone.
Xingnuo wrinkled his little face, snorted softly, turned his little head, and turned it to a place where his brother and father could not see him.
He was in a bad mood and refused to let his father and brother feed him dinner.
He took the spoon and drank most of the bowl of porridge in small sips. After finishing it, he took a bite of pickled vegetables.
The bitter and salty taste made Xingnuo wrinkle his face, stick out his tongue, and quickly push the pickled vegetable to his brother's side with his little hands.
Chen Wen was in a good mood as he watched the well-behaved and fair-skinned baby drinking porridge, with a smile in his eyes. He took a tissue and wiped the corners of Xingnuo's mouth that were stained with rice grains.
Then, Shen Wen looked down and saw the chemistry paper that Shen Baizhou had placed on the table.
The relaxed and happy mood suddenly disappeared, leaving only a stern face of indifference and ruthlessness.
"Chen Baizhou, is this the score you got?"
Shen Wen's frosty eyes caused the temperature in the room to drop suddenly.
Shen Baizhou shrank his neck, not daring to say a word, and nodded. For a moment, he even stopped breathing.
Fortunately, it doesn’t matter if the monster doesn’t breathe.
Otherwise, he was afraid that if he took a breath, Shen Wen would be so angry that he would be killed on the spot.
Xingnuo, who was holding a cup of water to try to wash away the taste of pickles in his mouth, raised his head when he saw the atmosphere at the scene became silent.
He looked at his father with a dark complexion with his bright and pure little eyes, and then looked at his brother with black hair and obedience.
Not knowing what to do, Xingnuo simply lowered his little head, shrunk his neck and sat next to his brother, not daring to say a word.
Seeing the two brothers' identical cowardly expressions, Chen Wen suddenly felt angry.
"You are here to defeat me, right?"
Chen Wen now really doubted how Chen Baizhou managed to fight his way out of the pile of monsters.
Can I only get 7 points on the chemistry test with him?
Seeing that his father was angry, Xingnuo secretly raised his little head and glanced at his father.
After his father was caught, he quickly gave his father a soft and obedient smile.
"Dad~"
Xingnuo simply rubbed over little by little, leaned her fair and tender little face in her father's arms, and rubbed it hard.
He still had the sweet scent of rice porridge on him, and the warm and soft touch was completely different from the monster's cold skin. The flesh on his cheeks was so soft that one couldn't help but want to pinch it when touched.
Chen Wen's original angry mood suddenly dissipated after being rubbed by the puppy-like cub.
