That night, Zhan Xi held his own child’s little hand and forcefully kept his eyes open through the night.

By around seven o’clock the next morning, Wagner rubbed his eyes and came to wake Ningning up for school.
“Ningning, get up.
Teacher Lily said we have morning exercises today.”

After Wagner called out, he turned around and saw Zhan Xi.

He hesitated for a moment and said, “Uncle Zhan, have you not slept? Your eyes are red.”

Zhan Xi tried to squeeze out an expression, but after struggling for a while, he couldn’t manage to make a relaxed expression.
He could only say hoarsely, “Wagner, you should go to school by yourself.
Ningning is unable to accompany you today.”

After finishing his sentence, Wagner shook his head and said, “That won’t do.
Teacher Lily said we can’t take a day off today.
We have to do exercises for the principal.”

As he spoke, his gaze suddenly shifted, and he exclaimed, “Hey, Ningning is awake!”

Wagner, who was holding Ningning’s little hand, was the first to notice the movement.
He happily shook Ningning’s hand, his tone becoming more excited, “Ningning, get up quickly!”

Their class uniform for the Green Grass Class had also been issued, so they could wear it for the exercises this time.

Under Wagner’s shaking, Ningning, who was sleeping on the small bed, furrowed his brows.
Without waking up, he angrily shook off Wagner’s hand and then turned over, facing away from Wagner.

Zhan Xi after seeing this scene: “…”

Zhan Xi looked somewhat dazed.
He turned his head and looked at Ling Qi, who had been with him all this time.

He said, “Ling Qi, pinch me to see if it hurts or not.”

If it didn’t hurt, it meant he was still dreaming.

Ling Qi didn’t hesitate upon hearing this request and pinched him forcefully.

Zhan Xi’s face contorted in pain, but his mood was excited and thrilled.

His eyes had stayed awake all night, and this time, the redness was not due to exhaustion.

“Ningning is awake, really?!”

Zhan Xi looked at the small bed in disbelief.
He knew his own Ningning’s little actions too well.

The fact that Ning had turned over and showed his backside clearly indicated that he was throwing a morning tantrum.

Once Zhan Xi realized that Ningning was throwing a tantrum directly after waking up, he couldn’t remain calm anymore.
He pulled back the covers on Ningning’s body and made him sit up.

The little child, who was awakened by the commotion, had a pair of bright black eyes filled with anger.

“Ningning wants to sleep!”


“Baby, you’re finally awake.”

Without a word, Zhan Xi picked up the little child and held him tightly, so tight that the little child’s breathing became a bit uneasy.

Fortunately, Ling Qi quickly intervened and separated them.

“He just woke up.
Do you still want to suffocate him?” Ling Qi took the little child away.
Compared to Zhan Xi, he remained calm and composed.

After confirming that the little child had awakened, Ling Qi had Ella, who also stayed for the night at the palace, examine the little child again.

After the examination, Ling Qi began to question the little child about his current condition: “Ningning, how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort anywhere? Does your head hurt?”

Ling Qi asked carefully, and the little child, being questioned, started to ponder.

“Ningning doesn’t hurt.”

The morning temper had subsided, and the little child was behaving well now.
His consciousness slowly became clear, and he could sense various feelings distinctly.

A few minutes later.

The little child touched his belly, and with a small, pitiful voice, he said, “Ningning is hungry.”

His belly was empty.

The feeling of hunger grew stronger and stronger, and the little child opened his arms and accurately reached out to Ling Qi, asking to be carried.
“Uncle Ling Qi, Ningning wants food.”

After sleeping for a whole day and night, he woke up and immediately wanted to eat.

This familiar style of the little child slightly calmed Zhan Xi’s heart.

At this moment, Ling Qi didn’t have time to prepare food.
Fortunately, they were in the palace.
Ai Wei suppressed her excitement and instructed the kitchen to bring out breakfast.

Ludwig and Huo Lin were both in the room, but they didn’t disturb Zhan Xi and the little child’s intimacy.

Zhan Xi was Ningning’s sole guardian.
They cared so much about the little child that they wouldn’t even cross Zhan Xi.

The little child, hungry and in tears, clung to Ling Qi’s neck.
He was still too young and had limited knowledge, so he couldn’t find the words to describe how hungry he was.

He only pressed against Ling Qi’s neck and choked, saying, “Ningning is getting skinny from hunger.”

Ling Qi held him and walked faster.

He also felt that this little child had become thin from hunger.

Early in the morning, breakfast prepared in the kitchen was very abundant.

The little child sat in his own chair, anxiously tilting his neck and urging, “Bowl, bowl!”

Hurry up and put the bowl in front of Ningning, he wanted to eat!

After setting up the bowl properly, the little child held a round spoon and didn’t need anyone to feed him.
He began eating hungrily, taking big spoonfuls.

Zhan Xi occasionally fed him some milk, saying, “Eat slowly, don’t forget to drink milk.”

The little child’s bowl was a pink pig bowl with a deep bottom, able to hold a good amount of rice at once.
He ate two bowls of rice, along with several pieces of candy cake, vegetable dumplings, and a small meat patty.

Towards the end of the meal, Zhan Xi touched his little belly.
Once it became round and plump, Zhan Xi took away his bowl.

“That’s enough.”

Zhan Xi took away his bowl and removed the bib, saying, “You can’t eat anymore, eating more will make you vomit.”

The little child patted the table, clearly protesting.
But his protest failed, and his father took his round spoon away.

“Behave, Wagner is still waiting for you to go to school.
Are you going to do exercises in kindergarten this morning?”

Zhan Xi had already noticed the impatient Wagner.

Skillfully, he wiped his own child’s face and asked Ling Qi to help with the child’s school bag.

Upon hearing the words “going to school,” the child, who was lifted up by his father, looked bewildered.

The little child no longer paid attention to their own bowl of food; they simply stared at their father, their tone carrying a hint of probing.
“Dad, what day is it today?”


“It’s Monday, the first day of school.
Have you finished your homework this time?”

Zhan Xi’s words hit the child’s head like a bolt of lightning.

The child sitting on their father’s lap widened their eyes, tilting their chubby face and tremblingly said, “Daddy, Sunday hasn’t happened yet.”

The child remembered clearly that it took five days of school to earn two precious rest days.

He went to the amusement park with Wagner on Saturday, but it wasn’t fun.
The rides there made the child feel nauseous.
After Saturday, there should still be a Sunday, right?

Zhan Xi looked down at the child who wanted Sunday, and his gaze was filled with sympathy.
“Baby, I regret to inform you that you slept the entire Sunday.
So, you don’t have Sunday anymore.”

“Oh, Ling Qi, has the child packed their school bag? They should go to school now.”

The child, who woke up without Sunday, was completely distraught.

He struggled, wanting to climb down from his father’s lap.
“I don’t want to go to school! I haven’t had Sunday yet!”

Zhan Xi held him down, stopping his attempt to skip school.

After a while of fussing around, the unsuccessful truant child was taken to the car and went to school with Wagner.

Seeing him cry so pitifully, Wagner decided to comfort him.

How should one comfort someone?

Wagner, who had no experience, remembered the method his father had taught him: diverting attention.

As long as he could shift Ningning’s attention elsewhere, he wouldn’t be so sad.

Wagner, who acted upon his words, patted Ningning’s shoulder.
With a serious expression on his little face, he looked at him and said, “Ningning, don’t cry.
I have something to tell you.”

Ningning, who didn’t want to go to school, was influenced by his seriousness and thought he was going to say something important.

So he wiped his eyes and cooperatively asked, “You, what is it?”

Wagner’s little face became even more serious as he asked, “Did you finish your homework? I finished mine yesterday, and you were sleeping while I was doing it.”

Ningning: “…”

Ningning felt even sadder now.

On the way to school, Ningning cried again while catching up on his homework.

Without a Sunday and without doing the homework, this rest day was simply terrible.

Huo Lin sat in the same car as Ningning.
If it weren’t for him, Wagner would have personally helped this poor little child with his homework.

“Sigh.”

Watching the scene of Ningning catching up on his homework, Wagner couldn’t do much to help.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the school gate.

Wagner held Ningning’s chubby hand and ran towards the kindergarten, shouting, “Uncle, don’t close the door! We’re here!”

Just before the kindergarten gate closed, the two little children rushed in.

They still had to do exercises in the morning, so they put down their school bags and headed for the playground.

Rushing all the way, they arrived at their destination.
Ningning’s little face was flushed, and he was panting for breath.

After he stood still, Wagner comforted him, “Ningning, are you okay? If you feel stuffy in your chest, take a few deep breaths.”

Under Wagner’s guidance, the chubby child took a few deep breaths earnestly.

After finishing, Wagner tilted his head and asked him, “How do you feel now? Is your chest feeling better?”

Ningning: “…”

Ningning carefully felt it and honestly replied, “I feel a little hungry in my tummy.”

Wagner: “?”
