Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Zhouzhou Goes to School

 

After lunch, the two little ones held hands and napped for nearly two hours. Even when Qin Jingchen came to pick up Su Yin and her son, they still hadn’t woken up.

 

Su Yin said, “While he’s still asleep, hurry and take your son away. Otherwise, once this little troublemaker wakes up, you won’t be able to leave.”

 

Qin Jingchen complied, carefully carrying his son and placing him in the child safety seat in the back.

 

“Alright, come visit us at home when you’re free. Let me show you how good Old Qin’s cooking is.” Before leaving, Su Yin mischievously teased.

 

“Brother, we’re in trouble now.” After sending off Su Yin’s family of three, Shen Yunxing turned to his Mr. Fu.

 

Every time they separated Zhouzhou from Junjun, the little one would cry for a while and then be upset for days.

 

Based on past experiences, it would take about a week of coaxing for the little guy to fully recover.

 

But this time, things were different. Fu Tingzhou was well-prepared.

 

“Don’t worry, I have a solution,” Fu Tingzhou said with a wink to the young man.

 

At four in the afternoon, Baby Zhouzhou woke up. With his eyes still closed, the little guy reached out to touch around him.

 

“Junjun?” He didn’t feel anyone, so he opened his eyes wide and called out.

 

He puffed up his little bottom, flung off the blanket entirely, and still couldn’t find Junjun. Just as he was about to burst into tears, he noticed a Junjun doll, about twice the size of his small hand, placed on the bedside table. Immediately, he crawled over and hugged the doll.

 

“Junjun.” Hugging the doll, Zhouzhou’s little face finally brightened up.

 

The little one slid off the **, put on his small slippers by himself, and toddled off to find his two dads.

 

He opened the bedroom door but didn’t see them there, so he hugged the doll and headed to the study.

 

“Squeak—”

 

The door opened.

 

Both dads looked up simultaneously and saw their baby holding the doll. While his little white face didn’t look overly happy, it wasn’t upset either, which was a relief.

 

“Daddy, Baba, did Junjun go home?” The little guy ran on his short legs into Daddy’s arms, nuzzling as he asked.

 

“Yes, your Uncle Qin took him home. If Junjun doesn’t sleep at his own house, he won’t sleep well,” Shen Yunxing explained, trying to comfort his son as usual. To his surprise, this time the little one acted like he had grown up and didn’t need comforting at all.

 

“Yeah, Zhouzhou knows.” Zhouzhou smiled at Daddy and waved the Junjun doll in his hand, saying happily, “As long as Zhouzhou has this ‘Junjun’ with him, it’s all good!”

 

“You’re such a good baby.” Shen Yunxing ruffled his son’s head, touched by his maturity.

 

But the next moment, the little one suddenly frowned out of nowhere.

 

“Daddy.”

 

Shen Yunxing immediately tensed up. “What’s wrong?”

 

“Zhouzhou has this ‘Junjun,’ but the Junjun who went home doesn’t have Zhouzhou with him.” The little guy’s face drooped in sadness.

 

“Who says so? When Junjun left, Baba gave him a ‘Zhouzhou’ to take along.” Fu Tingzhou showed his son a photo he had prepared in advance.

 

Seeing himself in Junjun’s arms, the little guy clapped his hands and started laughing.

 

“It’s Junjun and Zhouzhou!”

 

Watching their son cheer up so quickly, Shen Yunxing turned to his Mr. Fu and gave him a thumbs up.

 

Fu Tingzhou smirked, flashing a “mission accomplished” smile.

 

That evening, after dinner, the family of three sat in the living room watching TV.

 

“Brother,” Shen Yunxing signaled to his Mr. Fu with his eyes.

 

Fu Tingzhou made an “okay” gesture.

 

“Zhouzhou, would you like to play with lots of other kids?”

 

The little guy was watching cartoons. Without even glancing at his Baba, he shook his head in refusal.

 

“You can do it,” Shen Yunxing whispered, encouraging his Mr. Fu.

 

Not wanting to disappoint the young man, Fu Tingzhou decided to use his trump card.

 

“There will be many handsome older brothers and sisters there. Zhouzhou doesn’t want to go?”

 

Hearing about handsome older brothers, the little guy finally reacted.

 

Completely ignoring the mention of beautiful sisters, Zhouzhou asked, “More handsome than Junjun?”

 

This, I can handle!

 

Shen Yunxing grabbed Mr. Fu’s arm, taking over the conversation. “Of course not. Junjun is the most handsome. Daddy has never seen a child more beautiful than Junjun.”

 

Hearing Daddy’s words, the little guy shyly twisted his fingers and grinned, as if he were Junjun himself.

 

“Baba, where is this place?” Zhouzhou asked, shaking his head and speaking like a little adult. “Even if they’re not as good-looking as Junjun, Zhouzhou is a polite and well-behaved child. If they want to play with Zhouzhou, that’s okay too.”

 

Although the little guy didn’t say it outright, Shen Yunxing could see the anticipation in his shining eyes.

 

His heart ached. Zhouzhou had grown up so much, but he had never taken him to an amusement park or on a trip. He wasn’t a qualified father.

 

“It’s kindergarten. Tomorrow, Daddy will take Zhouzhou to kindergarten. After school, Daddy will take you to the amusement park. How about that?” he said to his son.

 

“Kindergarten?” Zhouzhou tilted his head, thought for a while, and asked, “Is it the same one Orange Gege goes to?”

 

Orange Gege had told him that little kids couldn’t get married. They had to go to kindergarten first, then primary school, and then something else—he couldn’t remember. But they had to go to school for many, many years before they could marry Junjun!

 

“Yes, Orange Gege is in the same kindergarten.”

 

Hearing this, the little guy immediately raised his hand and chirped in his baby voice, “Zhouzhou wants to go!”

 

Agreed?

 

The couple exchanged glances.

 

He agreed just like that? No crying or fussing, and he seemed excited?

 

“Daddy?” Seeing Daddy silent, the little guy tilted his head in confusion.

 

“Ahem.” Shen Yunxing coughed lightly, giving his son a serious heads-up. “Zhouzhou, Daddy and Baba will drop you off at kindergarten and then go home. We’ll only come to pick you up after school in the afternoon.”

 

The little guy nodded his head, indicating that he understood.

 

Orange Gege had told him that they were going to study. Parents being around would interfere with learning, and if you didn’t do well, you’d have to stay in kindergarten. That would mean never moving up to the big kids’ class, and he wouldn’t be able to marry Junjun!

 

“Daddy and Baba won’t be with you. Zhouzhou can handle it?” Fu Tingzhou asked.

 

“Yes, I can!” The little guy patted his chest confidently.

 

“Good boy.” Shen Yunxing kissed his son’s forehead. “After school tomorrow, Daddy will take Zhouzhou to the amusement park for the carousel.”

 

“Okay~” The little guy jumped up and down excitedly.

 

He loved riding the carousel, but Daddy was always busy with work and never took him. Only Grandpa, Grandma, and Baba had taken him before. Hearing Daddy promise to take him, his eyes lit up like stars.

 

That night, after putting their son to bed, Shen Yunxing said to Mr. Fu, “Tomorrow, I’ll call Orange Gege’s mom and ask if the two kids can go together.”

 

Fu Tingzhou nodded and pulled the young man into his arms.

 

“Don’t worry. Tomorrow, we’ll observe outside for a while before making any decisions,” he said gently, kissing the top of the young man’s head.

 

“Okay.” Shen Yunxing nodded, resting on the man’s arm and soon falling into a peaceful sleep.

 

The next day, Baby Zhouzhou woke up early, eager to go to kindergarten. He twisted and turned to put on his little clothes and slippers, then ran off to find his two dads.

 

The little guy opened the bedroom door, ran to the bed, and pounced onto it, grabbing Daddy’s finger and shaking it as he called out, “Daddy, Baba, wake up! Zhouzhou has to go to kindergarten. We can’t be late!”

 

Hearing the commotion, Shen Yunxing frowned, turned over, and snuggled into Mr. Fu’s arms, refusing to move.

 

Fu Tingzhou, hearing his son’s voice, pinched the bridge of his nose and got up to pick him up.

 

He kissed his son’s cheek and said, “It’s still early. Baby, lie down with Daddy for a bit while Baba makes breakfast.”

 

Zhouzhou nodded, kissed Baba’s neck, then turned to snuggle into Daddy’s arms.

 

Half an hour later, Shen Yunxing woke up with a yawn. Noticing the little guy asleep in his arms, he smiled.

 

He bent down to kiss his son’s nose, tucked him in, and

 

“Mm.” Shen Yunxing nodded, resting on the man’s arm, and soon fell into a peaceful sleep.

 

The next morning, little baby Zhouzhou, who was heading to kindergarten, woke up early. He twisted and turned to put on his little clothes and slippers, then pitter-pattered off to find his two dads.

 

The little guy pushed open the bedroom door, ran to the bed, and leapt onto it. Grabbing one of his dads’ fingers, he shook it and said, “Daddy and Papa, wake up! Zhouzhou is going to kindergarten today and can’t be late~”

 

Hearing the commotion, Shen Yunxing frowned, turned over, and burrowed into Mr. Fu’s embrace, refusing to move.

 

Fu Tingzhou, hearing the little guy’s voice, pinched the bridge of his nose before getting up to pick up the child.

 

He kissed his son’s cheek and said, “It’s still early. Stay with Daddy for a bit longer. Papa will go make breakfast.”

 

Zhouzhou nodded, hugged his daddy’s neck, gave him a smooch, and then turned to snuggle into his papa’s arms.

 

Half an hour later, Shen Yunxing woke up yawning, noticing the little one in his arms. He smiled.

 

Leaning down to kiss his son’s nose, he tucked the child in before leaving the room.

 

After freshening up, Shen Yunxing went downstairs to find his Mr. Fu.

 

“Ge.”

 

Fu Tingzhou was frying eggs. He turned at the sound, noticing the youth’s hair stubbornly sticking up, and smiled.

 

“Is Zhouzhou asleep again?”

 

“Mm.” Shen Yunxing walked over and hugged the man, rubbing his cheek against his shoulder.

 

“Getting clingy so early in the morning?” Fu Tingzhou teased, “The ‘little eyes’ have started working already.”

 

Shen Yunxing rubbed against him again, muttering, “Let them take pictures; it’s not like this is the first time.”

 

Fu Tingzhou chuckled, turning to embrace the youth and kiss his forehead.

 

“Go call Zhouzhou for breakfast.”

 

“Okay.”

 

During breakfast, the little one, who usually took forever to eat a single bun, finished his meal in just fifteen minutes.

 

“Zhouzhou is full! Daddy and Papa, when will you take Zhouzhou to kindergarten?” the little guy asked after wiping his mouth.

 

Fu Tingzhou replied, “After Daddy and Papa finish eating.”

 

“Where’s your smartwatch?” Shen Yunxing asked, “You can call Chengcheng and ask if he’s ready.”

 

“Okay~” Zhouzhou responded loudly, happily grabbing his new smartwatch to call Chengcheng.

 

When the call connected, the little guy immediately asked excitedly, “Hello, Chengcheng? Let’s go to kindergarten together?”

 

“Zhouzhou, I’m eating~” came Chengcheng’s muffled reply.

 

“Okay, finish and we’ll go to kindergarten together?”

 

“Alright, Mommy said we’ll meet at the little garden!”

 

“Got it~”

 

After hanging up, Zhouzhou looked up and reported to his dad, “Daddy, Chengcheng is still eating. Auntie said we’ll meet at the little garden later.”

 

Shen Yunxing smoothed down his son’s sticking-up hair. “Okay, Daddy knows.”

 

About ten minutes later, Shen Yunxing received a message from Chengcheng’s mom. The couple then took their little one, who was carrying a small backpack and was brimming with excitement, downstairs to meet her.

 

“Chengcheng!” As soon as Zhouzhou saw the figure, he called out with his little voice.

 

“Zhouzhou!”

 

Two minutes later, the two little ones successfully met and held hands as they walked toward the community exit.

 

“Chengcheng, is kindergarten fun?” Zhouzhou turned to ask Chengcheng, who had already attended for a year.

 

“It’s fun! Lots of friends play with Chengcheng!” Chengcheng replied.

 

Zhouzhou nodded and asked, “When can Zhouzhou go to the big class?”

 

Chengcheng giggled. “Zhouzhou is younger than Chengcheng, so you can only go to the small class. It’ll take years to reach the big class!”

 

“Oh.” Zhouzhou looked a little disappointed but quickly regained his enthusiasm.

 

“Zhouzhou will study hard, then jump, jump, jump, and marry Junjun!”

 

The two dads: “???”

 

Shen Yunxing: Son, do you even hear what you’re saying?

 

“Baby, what is ‘jump, jump, jump’?” he asked. Fu Tingzhou also looked down at the little one.

 

“Chengcheng said that smart kids can jump, jump, jump and skip kindergarten to go straight to college!” Zhouzhou said, hopping as he explained.

 

The couple couldn’t help but laugh at this.

 

Chengcheng’s mom was also amused by the innocent little one, covering her mouth as she repeatedly exclaimed, “So cute!”

 

“Baby, that’s called skipping grades. Daddy skipped grades back in the day,” Shen Yunxing said with a smile, “But you’re still young. Even if you skip grades, you can’t go straight to college.”

 

Zhouzhou looked up at his dad. “When can Zhouzhou go to college?” Once he went to college, he’d be a big kid and could marry Junjun.

 

“When Zhouzhou grows up and is as tall as Daddy, you can go to college.” To stop his son from obsessing over marrying Junjun, Shen Yunxing set a long-term goal for him.

 

As expected, hearing this, the little one’s smile immediately faded.

 

“That’s so hard! Zhouzhou isn’t even as tall as Daddy’s leg,” Zhouzhou said, frowning.

 

“If Zhouzhou eats well, you’ll grow tall quickly,” little helper Chengcheng chimed in. “Look at Chengcheng. I eat well, so I’m taller than Zhouzhou!”

 

He ran up to Shen Yunxing and made a comparison.

 

“Zhouzhou, look! Chengcheng is almost as tall as Zhouzhou’s dad!” The little guy raised his hand, exaggerating his height by several centimeters, almost reaching Shen Yunxing’s chest.

 

Shen Yunxing thought his son wouldn’t believe it—after all, Zhouzhou wasn’t easily fooled. But not only did the little guy believe it, he also clenched his tiny fists and declared fiercely, “Okay! From today, Zhouzhou will eat two bowls of rice!”

 

Shen Yunxing: “…”

 

“Son, your goal is set too high. How about we set a smaller goal first, like having a bowl of rice?”

 

As they joked, the kindergarten arrived.

 

Twin Stars Kindergarten was located near the community, and since the surrounding neighborhoods were upscale, nearly 90% of the kids studying here were from wealthy families. Just the tuition alone cost over a hundred thousand yuan per year.

 

Although the tuition was exorbitantly high, the teaching staff and facilities in the kindergarten were also top-notch in the country.

 

As Zhouzhou entered the kindergarten, holding his dad’s hand, his eyes lit up.

 

“Daddy, this place is so beautiful, and there are so many toys,” exclaimed the little one, who had never been to school before.

 

Shen Yunxing asked, “Zhouzhou, do you like it here?”

 

The little one immediately replied loudly, “I like it!”

 

Shen Yunxing chuckled and patted his son’s little head. After helping Orange’s mom drop Orange off at her class, they headed to the principal’s office.

 

“Mr. Shen, here’s the contract. You can take your child around the school to see if he likes it before making a decision,” said Principal Lin Wei, her eyes sparkling.

 

Shen Yunxing smiled as he took the contract. “Okay, thank you.”

 

This Principal Lin was clearly a fan of his, but she remained professional, her emotions only slightly betraying her excitement.

 

“You’re welcome. Shall I take you and Mr. Fu to have a look at the class Zhouzhou will be in?” Lin Wei offered.

 

“Sure.”

 

Behind them, two staff members carrying cameras followed closely.

 

The production team had already contacted the school the day before, and with the school’s approval, several miniature cameras had been installed and were already operational.

 

“Daddy, is Auntie going to take Zhouzhou to class?” The little one swayed his daddy’s hand, his voice soft and sweet.

 

Shen Yunxing smiled. “Yes.”

 

The little one was so adorable that Lin Wei couldn’t resist extending her hand. “Zhouzhou, would you like Auntie to hold your hand?”

 

Zhouzhou obediently nodded. “Sure!” He then stretched out his little hand and grabbed two of Lin Wei’s fingers.

 

Oh, so soft and squishy! Mom, I’m holding hands with the son of a superstar!

 

Lin Wei kept a professional demeanor, but her heart was in turmoil.

 

The little one looked exactly like Xing Xing but, upon closer inspection, also bore traces of Fu Da’s features. While netizens speculated that the child was adopted, she recalled a certain doctor’s online explanation: boys can also conceive and give birth!

 

Lin Wei faltered slightly in her steps.

 

She glanced at the pair walking side by side—Xing Xing and Fu Da—then looked down at Zhouzhou, who was happily bobbing his head. She suddenly realized she might have uncovered a shocking truth: Zhouzhou was their biological child!

 

As for who gave birth, she discreetly glanced at Shen Yunxing’s flat abdomen.

 

It definitely wasn’t Fu Da, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall. Given Xing Xing’s petite frame, it was impossible for him to dominate Fu Da.

 

Arriving at the class, Lin Wei collected her thoughts and put on her most professional demeanor in front of the cameras.

 

“There’s still five minutes before class starts. Mr. Shen, Mr. Fu, how about letting the child experience the classroom for himself first?”

 

Shen Yunxing looked down at his son.

 

The little one was standing on tiptoes, hands pressed against the glass window, his big eyes darting around with curiosity and excitement.

 

“Alright,” the couple nodded.

 

Moments later, the little one was led into the classroom by the teacher. He turned and waved his chubby little hand at his two dads. “Daddy, Papa, Zhouzhou is going to class now. Bye-bye~”

 

There was no sadness or reluctance, only excitement and joy on his little face.

 

Shen Yunxing: “…”

 

Baby, don’t you want to look back at Daddy even once?

 

Fu Tingzhou, noticing his partner’s disappointed expression, chuckled. “Didn’t you want our son to make more friends? Now you can’t bear to let him go?”

 

Shen Yunxing glanced at Fu Tingzhou.

 

And you’re one to talk—weren’t you the one holding onto our son the whole way here?

 

“I’m going to check on Zhouzhou,” he said, walking over to the window to look inside.

 

Inside the classroom, the little one was introducing himself to his new classmates.

 

“Hello, everyone! My name is Fu Xingzhou. My nickname is Zhouzhou, and I’m three years old!” The little one clutched his backpack straps, tilted his head up, and said in a sweet voice, “My goal is to study hard, get into college, and marry Junjun!”

 

The teacher, hearing such a self-introduction for the first time: “…”

 

Not sure what it means, but it certainly sounds impressive.

 

The other little kids, amazed: “Wow~”

 

Outside the window, Shen Yunxing, who happened to overhear his son’s words, facepalmed.

 

He’d anticipated his son might say something surprising but didn’t expect him to drop such a bombshell right away.

 

“Haha, that’s an ambitious goal,” the teacher said with a smile. “Let’s give a big round of applause to welcome Zhouzhou to Class Little Red Flower, shall we?”

 

“Okay—”

 

“Clap clap clap—”

 

After the applause, little Zhouzhou walked firmly to his seat.

 

Unlike other kindergartens, Twin Stars offered a more structured curriculum, teaching children basic language, math, and English skills, alongside fun electives like simple science experiments, singing, dancing, and even fashion design.

 

This session was an English class. From the window, Shen Yunxing watched as the little one held a book, swaying back and forth while reading along with the teacher. He couldn’t help but smile with pride.

 

“Ge, Zhouzhou is so well-behaved,” he said to Fu Tingzhou.

 

Even if the book was upside down, that level of enthusiasm deserved praise.

 

Fu Tingzhou nodded. When the teacher came over to help Zhouzhou turn the book right-side up, a faint smile tugged at his lips.

 

The couple stood outside, watching their son for a while. Seeing the little one sitting upright, enthusiastically reading aloud—such a contrast to the chubby, restless boy next to him—they couldn’t help but feel proud.

 

The staff capturing the scene also found the little one amusing, filming several close-ups of his earnest expression.

 

Zhouzhou’s first day of school was off to a successful start!

 

The child seemed fine in class, but how would he handle lunch and nap time? The couple stayed on campus, waiting until the lunch bell rang. They followed the life skills teacher to the cafeteria.

 

“Auntie, Daddy said eating more vegetables will make me taller, so I want extra veggies!” Zhouzhou said politely, tilting his head up to the teacher.

 

The teacher was charmed by his cuteness and clutched her chest, nodding quickly. “Sure, you can have as much as you want, sweetie!”

 

“Thank you, Auntie~” Zhouzhou said sweetly.

 

At lunch, the little one was incredibly well-mannered, eating neatly without spilling a single grain of rice. The small bib the teacher had prepared for him turned out unnecessary.

 

“My goodness, Shen Yingdi and Mr. Fu raised their child so well. This is the first time I’ve seen such an obedient and independent kid.”

 

“Right? He’s like a little angel!”

 

“During the morning class, I saw Zhouzhou sitting with perfect posture, following the teacher’s instructions without complaint. It’s incredible.”

 

“Ahhh, this makes me want to have kids! But if I could have a child as good as Zhouzhou, I’d be willing to have ten!”

 

The life skills teachers gathered, chattering excitedly.

 

“Alright, kids, after lunch, follow the teacher to wash your hands. Then it’s nap time!” one teacher announced.

 

Each class had only 15 children, with three experienced teachers looking after them, making care manageable.

 

After washing up, the little ones lined up and were led back to the nap room. Zhouzhou, however, looked a bit downcast.

 

He had always been lulled to sleep by his daddy and papa. Now, having to sleep alone for the first time, he felt uneasy.

 

“Auntie, can I call my daddy?” he asked, looking up at the teacher.

 

“Of course!” Chen Xiaojie asked her colleagues to watch the other kids and took Zhouzhou outside to make the call.

 

“He’s coming out.” Watching from around the corner, Shen Yunxing quickly nudged Fu Tingzhou.

 

“You guys stay hidden. Zhouzhou is smart; if he sees you, he’ll get suspicious.” He directed the cameramen into hiding as well.

 

When Zhouzhou’s call came through, Shen Yunxing answered with a smile. “Zhouzhou, are you settling in? Did you give the teachers any trouble?”

 

“Daddy.” The little one happily called out, shaking his head. “No, I’ve been very good and didn’t make the teachers upset.”

 

“That’s my good boy,” Shen Yunxing said, both observing his son’s expression and speaking into the phone. “Did you call Daddy for something?”

 

“Daddy,” Zhouzhou called again, this time with a sob in his voice. His big, round eyes grew teary.

 

Shen Yunxing’s heart clenched, and he resisted the urge to rush out and hug his son. “Is it nap time now? Are you scared and want Daddy and Papa to take you home?”

 

The little one wiped his tears with his arm, his little body trembling. “Zhouzhou doesn’t want to go home. Zhouzhou

 

“Daddy,” the little one called again, this time with a sob in his voice. His round, big eyes started to glisten with tears.

 

Shen Yunxing felt a pang of guilt and suppressed the urge to rush in and take his son home. He continued, “At this time, shouldn’t Baby be going to sleep? Are you scared and want Daddy and Papa to come and take you home?”

 

The little one wiped his tears with his arm, trembling as he said, “Zhou Zhou won’t go home. Zhou Zhou wants to keep going to school.”

 

“Daddy, can you and Papa come pick Zhou Zhou up quickly after school?” The little one couldn’t hold back anymore, tears rolling down his face as he sobbed, “Zhou Zhou misses you, Papa, and Jun Jun so much—waaah!”

 

Seeing his son cry, Shen Yunxing’s heart clenched. He quickly comforted, “Baby, don’t cry. Go check your little backpack. There’s a surprise from Papa in there for you.”

 

“Hiccup, okay. Zhou Zhou will check now,” the little one said between hiccupping sobs.

 

Zhou Zhou hung up the phone and was led back to his little bed by the teacher. He climbed into bed, opened his backpack, and saw three little dolls lying neatly side by side. His eyes lit up.

 

“Daddy, Papa, and Jun Jun!” The little one cheered up, hugging the three little dolls and kissing them repeatedly. His face was bright with a smile again.

 

“Zhou Zhou, all the other kids are asleep. Shall we sleep too?” Chen Xiaoji gently bent down and spoke softly.

 

“Okay.” The little one nodded, held the three little dolls, and lay down, closing his eyes obediently.

 

Outside the window, Shen Yunxing saw the corners of his son’s lips turn up and finally felt relieved.

 

“Zhou Zhou did so well.” Fu Tingzhou held the young man’s shoulder, his smile filled with pride and contentment.

 

After their son fell asleep, the couple went to the principal’s office to chat with Principal Lin for a while before heading home.

 

Without Zhou Zhou around, Shen Yunxing couldn’t get into anything all afternoon.

 

While washing fruit, he instinctively wanted to ask Zhou Zhou what he wanted to eat. Watching a movie, he remembered Zhou Zhou’s favorite cartoon was about to air and grabbed the remote to switch channels, only to recall their son wasn’t home. He and Mr. Fu had dropped him off at kindergarten that morning.

 

“Zhou Zhou will grow up one day. He won’t always be by our side,” Fu Tingzhou said, pulling the young man into his arms. Holding his left hand, their fingers interlaced tightly, he added, “But I can always stay with you. Even when we’re old men, I’ll still hold your hand and never let go.”

 

Caught off guard by Fu’s sudden romantic words, Shen Yunxing blushed. Forgetting about the camera, he tilted his head and kissed the corner of the man’s lips. Smiling, he said, “Me too. I’ll never let go for a lifetime.”

 

Behind the camera, many staff members: Let the dog food rain down harder! Single people have no fear.jpg.

 

Production team: It’s unfair for only us to be fed so much dog food. Good things should be shared.

 

That afternoon, the official account of Daddy and Baby released a set of behind-the-scenes clips.

 

Netizens who had been waiting for weeks went wild.

 

[Ahhh, Star Baby and Big Boss Fu are real!! That forehead kiss is so sweet! Eeeek! [Spinning with excitement]]

 

[OMG, I can’t take it anymore. Shen’s kid is so cute! He called the camera “Cammy” and complained it was clumsy. He doesn’t use the dishwasher because he wants his two dads to praise him for being awesome! I can’t stop laughing, hahaha.]

 

[I downed this bowl of dog food. Feel free to help yourselves [Gulp gulp~]]

 

[Let’s talk about it—Jun Jun’s domineering little expressions are exactly like a chibi Qin Zong, hahaha.]

 

[Ahhh, the baby panda is so adorable too [Auntie kisses~]]

 

[If I’m not mistaken, this is Film Emperor Liao’s first variety show appearance, right? His socially awkward persona isn’t a lie. If he can stay home, he absolutely will, hahaha.]

 

[Poor Da Chengzi, having to take care of both a big and a small kid. Dead from laughter.]

 

…

 

Shen Yunxing leaned against Mr. Fu’s chest, laughing so hard he couldn’t sit up straight after watching the behind-the-scenes clips.

 

“Mr. Fu, come see how your son performed on camera,” he said, handing the phone to the man.

 

The clips were a mix, totaling two minutes. They featured him and Mr. Fu showing affection and also Zhou Zhou’s solo moments. If not for these clips, he wouldn’t have realized how clever his son was.

 

After watching, Fu Tingzhou couldn’t help but smile as well.

 

He handed the phone back to the young man. “Zhou Zhou’s school day is almost over. We should get going.”

 

“Okay.” Shen Yunxing immediately bounced off the couch, ran his fingers through his hair a couple of times, and got ready to leave.

 

Fu Tingzhou reminded him with a chuckle, “Mask.”

 

“Oh, right, mask.” Shen Yunxing spun around in place, and in the end, it was Mr. Fu who found the mask in the cabinet and helped him put it on.

 

“Let’s go pick up our son!” With everything ready, he opened the door.

 

When the couple arrived at the kindergarten, Zhou Zhou wasn’t done yet.

 

The last class was art, which the little one loved. He was lying on the small desk, holding a paintbrush and painting with great focus.

 

Shen Yunxing peeked in and saw the little dolls tucked into the desk’s compartment, with one little arm sticking out.

 

He couldn’t help but chuckle.

 

As mentioned, most of the children attending Twin Stars Kindergarten came from affluent families. Their parents were either influential figures or officials. To avoid being recognized, many parents wore masks when picking up their children.

 

Compared to these carefully dressed parents, the couple seemed relatively low-key. Even though the school had informed them in advance that a production team would be filming on-site, no one immediately identified which parent it was.

 

“Li Yuqing’s mom, have you checked Weibo? Shen the film emperor’s kid also attends our Twin Stars Kindergarten,” Fang Shiyu’s mom whispered while observing the parents picking up their children. “With everyone wearing masks, it’s hard to tell who’s who.”

 

“I think it’s him,” Li Yuqing’s mom said, pointing to the tallest man in the crowd. “I’ve been picking up my kid for months and haven’t seen anyone this tall before. This parent must be new.”

 

“See the man in the white T-shirt next to him? Doesn’t his eyes and nose look just like Star Baby’s?!”

 

Fang Shiyu’s mom stood on tiptoes for a better look. Oh my, he really did!

 

“That’s Big Boss Fu standing next to Star Baby! Ahhh, and they’re holding hands!” Fang Shiyu’s mom grabbed Li Yuqing’s mom’s arm, visibly excited.

 

Author’s Note:

 

Zhou Zhou (clenching fists): Jun Jun, wait for Zhou Zhou to marry you!

 

Jun Jun (serious face): Okay!
