The Long Aotian Cub Becomes the Pampered Darling of a Wealthy Family 143

Chapter 143

The carpet in the study was printed with a light brown pattern, thick and soft. Shen Tiantian fell on the carpet and rolled forward twice like a small rubber ball. His head was spinning with little stars from the fall.

But after he got up, he was completely fine and could even talk back to his brother. “Bad-guy brother is laughing at me! Otherwise, Tiantian would not have fallen!”

Shen Jinfeng’s stomach was hurting from laughing, and a few drops of tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes. “Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. It has nothing to do with you, you little brat.”

Tiantian patted his wrinkled pants and the corners of his clothes, pulled his little shoes that had fallen off from not far away, and put them on his bare feet. “I’m not messing with you anymore. I’m going out.”

After two days of hard work, Shen Tiantian, who had finally finished his homework, was liberated! He held his newly bought building block toy and went to Gu Nanqi’s house by car.

As soon as he got out of the car, Tiantian quickly went over, greeted Auntie Yueli, and ran to the back to play with Gu Nanqi. Gu Nanqi was practicing his sword. He had recently become obsessed with a martial arts film and had even asked his father to find him a martial arts coach.

Holding a small branch, Gu Nanqi was practicing quite well. Seeing Tiantian come over, Gu Nanqi wiped his sweat, slowly put away the branch as if to show off, and put his small hands behind his back, his posture leisurely.

Tiantian saw it, his eyes shining with stars, and he clapped his hands like a little seal. “You’re so amazing, Gu Xiaoqi!”

The corners of Gu Nanqi’s mouth lifted, and he was so praised that he almost grinned foolishly. But he managed to hold it in. He cleared his throat and said: “I’ve recently comprehended the third level of the seventy-two sword techniques. Soon, I’ll be invincible!”

Gu Nanqi spoke with great profundity. But Shen Tiantian only had a kindergarten diploma. He was so fooled that he was stunned. He let out a few “wow”s, held his soft and white little face, and his eyes were shining with several sparkling little stars.

“So amazing!” Tiantian raised his small hands, his eyes sparkling, his face flushed. “Can you also teach me?”

Gu Nanqi walked over with a pretentious air and circled around Shen Tiantian. “I have to see your aptitude first.”

Shen Tiantian quickly stood straight and tall on the spot, his small hands tensed and by his sides. Even his little baby fat was tensed, and his eyes were full of determination, accepting the inspection of the martial arts master, Gu Nanqi.

Gu Nanqi nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. Come and practice the sword with me!”

Tiantian nodded his head vigorously, hummed twice, and, mimicking Gu Nanqi’s posture, he began to practice the sword with a huff and a puff. He didn’t have a small branch in his hand, so he could only pretend to have one, holding a small ball of air.

Shen Tiantian stared at Gu Nanqi with his small eyes without blinking. Gu Nanqi did a difficult spin and flip. Gu Nanqi twisted himself into a pretzel and then lay on the ground with an “ouch.”

Shen Tiantian was young and his body was soft, so he managed to do the flip. But seeing Gu Nanqi lying on the ground like he was practicing a certain skill, he also quickly let out an “ouch,” lay on the ground, and practiced the skill with him.

Gu Nanqi: “…” He coughed a few times and quickly stood up as if nothing had happened. “This doesn’t count. Let’s start over.”

Shen Tiantian also shouted in a milky voice, “This doesn’t count. Let’s start over.”

Gu Nanqi felt like a fool.

Shen Tiantian doesn’t look like one, he is one!

Auntie Yueli came over with a fruit plate. Seeing the two of them playing until their heads were covered in sweat, she smiled. “Come and have some fruit. It’s too hot. Let’s play in the house.”

The two little ones cheered, ran forward, and with their eyes shining like groundhogs, they frantically gnawed on the watermelon. Shen Tiantian’s forehead was sweaty. He held the watermelon and gnawed on it until his mouth was red. He sat on the stone bench in the hallway, swinging his short little legs and laughing happily.

After eating the fruit, Shen Tiantian touched his belly and stretched. “It’s so good to have finished my homework. But I have to go to kindergarten tomorrow.”

Gu Nanqi, who was burying his head in the watermelon, said with a puzzled expression: “What homework?”

Then his action of gnawing on the watermelon slowly slowed down, and he looked up in terror from behind the watermelon. “I’m done for! I still have homework to do!”

This time, the one who was crying was Gu Nanqi. He wiped his tears, and his slightly dark face was covered in tear stains. He couldn’t stop hiccuping. “I… I forgot. I still have homework.”

Tiantian dragged a small rocking chair and slowly walked over. He looked at Gu Nanqi, who was fighting to do his homework at the desk, lay on the rocking chair, and swayed twice. “Ai, life is so blissful.”

Now, Tiantian understood the leisurely mood of his second brother two days ago. Until Shen Tiantian left in the evening, Gu Nanqi was still burying his head in his work. He had directly used the three-pen method.

He held three pens at a time and frantically copied. He didn’t even have time to see Shen Tiantian off. Gu Nanqi said without looking up: “Tiantian, I’ll come and play with you after I’ve finished.”

Tiantian hummed in acknowledgment, obediently held his brother’s hand, and went home by car. Shen Xiuze glanced at the scene of Gu Nanqi staying up late to do his homework, and thought of how Shen Tiantian had also been burying his head in his work two days ago. He couldn’t help but curve his lips and laugh twice.

On the first day of school, Tiantian was dressed up. He was wearing a light green printed little bear shirt and short-sleeved shirt, with black loose shorts, and his recently favorite cold hat.

He was carrying a backpack on both shoulders, slurping the water in his bottle, and bouncing to school. Shen Xiuze was afraid that Shen Tiantian would cry on his first day of kindergarten, so he specially drove to send Shen Tiantian.

He held his little brother’s soft and sweet little hand, and Shen Xiuze’s cold, glass-like eyes softened as he tidied up his schoolbag. “If you have any problems after you go in, ask the teacher to call me.”

Although Shen Xiuze looked cold and unapproachable, he was actually the most worried and meticulous person in the family. He had handled many of Shen Tiantian’s miscellaneous matters. Sometimes, when the school teacher had something to call the parents about, they would directly call Shen Xiuze.

Tiantian nodded and was about to wave his small hand and go in. A sharp cry like a car horn suddenly came from his ear. “No! I’m not going to kindergarten!!!”

A little friend sat on the ground with a plop, lay on the ground, and cried his heart out. This situation not only stunned Shen Tiantian but also the other children who had come to kindergarten. Then, the crying spread like a virus. The children started to cry one after another, and the whimpering sounds gathered into a torrent, surging.

Shen Xiuze had just turned his head to leave when he heard these cries, and his scalp tightened. He turned his head and met Shen Tiantian’s dark, black pupils. Shen Tiantian saw his brother look over, and he also followed the local custom and pouted his little lips. His eye sockets instantly turned red, and crystalline tears fell with a plop.

“Wuwu~ Big brother, I’m not going to kindergarten either.” Tiantian pounced over, hugged his brother’s leg, and flailed around like a little round ball, asking to be held.

How could Shen Xiuze not see that this little one was pretending?

He was crying as if it were real.

Shen Xiuze helplessly pinched Shen Tiantian’s nose. “Stop pretending to cry. Crying won’t change the fact that you have to go to kindergarten.”

Hearing this, Tiantian lay limply on his brother’s shoulder, sniffled, and sighed. A few undried tears hung on his curled lashes, and like a little tail, he followed the teacher into the kindergarten step by step.

Shen Xiuze was afraid that Shen Tiantian would cry again, so he waited at the door until the little one’s back disappeared before he drove to the company. The company’s human resources department was checking the data. Seeing the eldest young master come over, they all quickly lowered their heads and pretended to be even busier.

Shen Xiuze walked to the employee in charge of attendance, his voice clear and cold: “The clock-in machine is out of battery. Please help me to record the attendance.”

The attendance employee said “oh oh” twice and quickly said, “Normal attendance, right?”

Shen Xiuze’s brows and eyes lifted slightly. “Mark it as late.”

The attendance employee felt that his hand was trembling a little. Fortunately, his supervisor came over, said it was fine, and asked the employee to mark the eldest young master as late. “School started in September. Manager Shen will probably be late a few more times this month.”

The new attendance employee was still a little confused and asked: “Why?”

The supervisor tapped the table and let out a soft “tsk.” “He’s sending his little brother to school.”

The number of times Shen Xiuze was late indicated how many days his little brother, Shen Tiantian, was late for kindergarten. Shen Tiantian, this little lazy bug, had not gone to the company, but his name had been circulating in the company.

Kindergarten. On the first day of school, the children’s state was particularly dazed and listless. Several of them had tears on their faces, and they would wipe them with their small hands, and then wipe them again, as if they could never be wiped away.

Tiantian was a little reluctant to go to school just now at the door. But after he came in, he relaxed instead. The teacher was also very experienced. She took the children to play a few small games, which stopped the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere.

When it was almost time for lunch, the teacher clapped her hands and said: “Little friends, do you still remember the homework that was assigned before the holiday?”

In fact, the homework was not much. The children of this age were slow at writing, and their logical thinking was chaotic. The teachers assigned homework, also because they were afraid that after a semester of teaching, they would completely forget it after a crazy summer vacation.

The children, who had been happily playing in the activity room, were struck by lightning at these words.

“Homework?”

“What is homework?”

“Where’s my homework book? Why is it gone?!”

The children were like rice in a pot, and after boiling, they were in a mess. Some were looking for their papers, some were asking what homework was, and some didn’t even care and continued to play wildly with their toys.

Only Tiantian, with his little back straight, held his finished homework book and calmly walked up to the stage. “Teacher, I’m done.”

He handed the homework to the teacher, and Shen Tiantian was like a victorious little general, his head held high, his momentum imposing. The other children below the stage looked on, their little eyes wide and round.

There was actually a child who had finished his homework! This is too amazing!
