Transmigrated into the Villain’s Family to be the Pampered Favorite 82

Chapter 82: Courage

The night hung low, the moon was bright, and the stars were sparse.

The lights of a thousand homes dotted the city brightly, and the aroma of food gradually wafted from the neighborhood.

Nuonuo, holding his practice chopsticks clumsily, had just managed to pick up a piece of youmaicai (a type of lettuce) with great difficulty and joy, and was slurping it into his mouth.

The next second, he heard his papa say he was going to be sent to kindergarten.

The practice chopsticks fell onto the table with a clatter. Nuonuo, with half a vegetable still in his mouth, lifted his little head in a daze and looked at his papa with wide, disbelieving eyes.

“Why are you so stunned? Doesn’t Nuonuo like going to kindergarten?”

Fei Zhiyan watched Nuonuo’s hamster-like eating motion, his cheeks puffed up from eating, and his heart softened, his brows and eyes becoming much gentler.

Fei Zhiyan was not wearing his glasses today, revealing his dark eyes, which made him look less sharp and more approachable.

And Nuonuo stared at his papa without blinking, slowly swallowing the vegetable in his mouth.

Nuonuo thought of what Lei Xiaoyan had said during the day. His mouth opened unconsciously, and he was stunned for a long while before he frantically shook his little head. “I don’t wanna go to kindewgawten—”

Pouting, Nuonuo’s thick eyelashes fluttered, his sparkling eyes filled with unease.

He couldn’t understand. His papa had clearly said he was a good child, so why was he still being sent to kindergarten?

Could it be, Nuonuo thought, his little face wrinkled, that Papa doesn’t like me anymore?

Tears couldn’t help but well up in his eyes. Nuonuo took a deep breath before he could stop the tears from falling.

“Why are you crying?”

Fei Zhiyan’s hand, which was holding the chopsticks, paused. Looking at the little one who had started to feel wronged after just two sentences, his calm expression couldn’t help but show a hint of panic.

Picking Nuonuo up into his arms, Fei Zhiyan very skillfully patted his back, helping him to breathe. “Tell Papa why you’re crying.”

Fei Zhiyan lowered his eyes and looked at Nuonuo, wiping his tears and asking softly.

“Because… because Papa doesn’t wike me anymore, wuuu—”

Nuonuo, who had always thought he would never be sent to kindergarten, was so sad his little shoulders began to tremble. He wiped his tears with his little hands, his eyes red-rimmed.

Crying too hard, Nuonuo’s large teardrops fell like beans, and in a short while, he tasted a salty taste in his mouth.

It was a little bitter. Nuonuo couldn’t help but stick out his little tongue and say with a wrinkled little nose, “Teaws are not yummy at aww!”

Fei Zhiyan saw Nuonuo’s pained little face, his speech a little slurred. Although he also felt sorry for the little one, he still couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Seeing Nuonuo’s confused gaze, Fei Zhiyan coughed lightly into his fist and quickly took out a tissue to wipe Nuonuo’s tears.

Looking at the little one’s continuously falling tears, Fei Zhiyan couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

The merman race is indeed quite fond of water, but not this fond, Fei Zhiyan thought. This is practically made of water.

But Fei Zhiyan was also a little glad.

Nuonuo’s personality was well-behaved and soft. Even his crying was very quiet, not at all like other children who would cry and scream endlessly. It was just that when the little one cried, his personality would be even more clingy than usual, completely inseparable from people, his little eyes full of grievance, which made Fei Zhiyan’s heart ache just by looking at him.

Fei Zhiyan had specially taken an afternoon off today to visit various kindergartens in Yuncheng.

The kindergarten happened to be holding a summer class, and many of the children inside were crying their hearts out, their necks stretched as if they were about to tear their vocal cords.

At that moment, Fei Zhiyan, who was watching from outside the window, his expression was so stiff he couldn’t stand it. He felt as if a demonic sound were pouring into his ears and quickly fled from that classroom.

Of course, President Sun of the Ministry of Education, who was following behind him, his hands and feet were as stiff as a wooden board. In the middle of summer, he felt cold sweat breaking out.

After all, none of them had expected that after reading the preschool education work report, Fei Zhiyan would actually go and inspect each and every one of them!

Because the inspection came too suddenly, the principals of the various kindergartens were so scared their hearts trembled.

And this surprise inspection really did let Fei Zhiyan discover a lot of problems. His eyes instantly darkened, his gaze as cold as the snow in winter.

Some kindergartens were charging exorbitant fees, and some of the children’s meals were leftovers from the previous day. The more Fei Zhiyan looked, the darker his face became.

There are so many kindergartens making dirty money. Fei Zhiyan directly threw President Sun’s documents at him and told him to properly manage this mess.

And so, in one afternoon, several unqualified kindergartens in Yuncheng were successively closed down. The review department worked overtime and, before the sky darkened, submitted the various charges against these people.

And so, while everyone was enjoying a leisurely dinner, the major news media, hearing the wind, all reported this news, the headlines all sorts of things.

Because of this matter, the number one hot search on Weibo directly exploded. Many entertainment accounts were speculating whether Yunzhou’s next step was to vigorously rectify the chaos in education.

And Fei Jing, who was originally promoting his new script, his hot search was directly pushed to the second place. Even many anti-fans were mocking Fei Jing for really knowing how to pick a time, deliberately clashing with President Fei, and in the end, being suppressed to nothing!

The internet was in an uproar, as lively as the New Year, but in Fei Zhiyan’s house, the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Fei Jing walked into the house, his eyes still on the Weibo interface. Seeing those anti-fans on the internet saying he was trying to ride on his coattails, he couldn’t help but scoff.

These anti-fans usually had shit in their brains. Now that they had such an opportunity, they would definitely come and suppress him.

But looking at it, it was just the same old thing. Either they said Fei Jing had a low education and was not doing his proper job, or they said Fei Jing was always trying to ride on President Fei’s coattails, pretending to be a young master.

There was nothing new. Fei Jing was just about to put his phone away when he looked up and saw Nuonuo with a pool of tears in his eyes, still sobbing.

His hand movements couldn’t help but pause. Fei Jing walked over and, without even bothering with his father being present, frowned slightly and asked, “What’s wrong with Nuonuo? Your face is all broken.”

Fei Zhiyan’s hand had been too strong, and Nuonuo’s little face was too tender, so the skin had been broken.

His light-colored lips pursed slightly. Fei Zhiyan cleared his throat and changed the subject. “Nuonuo doesn’t want to go to kindergarten. Fei Jing, did you also not like going to kindergarten when you were young?”

Nuonuo, who was still wiping his tears and feeling sad, couldn’t help but lift his little head in curiosity. “Brother went to kindewgawten too, ya?”

Nuonuo lifted his moist eyes and looked at Fei Jing without blinking.

Fei Jing understood what had happened and was slightly relieved. He sat down and said, “I didn’t really like going to kindergarten when I was young. The teachers and parents there were too enthusiastic, and the children were also very noisy.”

Fei Jing had been a dazzling existence since he was a child. When he was in kindergarten, he was still in an orphanage. The teachers and parents there loved him so much they wanted to take him home and raise him, and they would stuff him with snacks every three or five days.

Although the children were simple, they were also little face-cons. Every time after class or during games, they would fight to play with Fei Jing.

Fei Jing was so annoyed that he later simply dropped out and went straight to primary school.

Hearing his brother talk about his childhood, Nuonuo sat in his little chair, propping his face in his hands, his tears also stopping, and he listened with fascination.

“Then brother didn’t go to kindewgawten. How about you go with me, ya?”

Thinking of something, Nuonuo’s little eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up with an expectant face.

Fei Jing’s motion of picking up his food paused for a moment. He turned his head slightly, secretly glanced at Fei Zhiyan’s still-stern expression, and then said, “No need. You go to yours. I still have to take the college entrance exam.”

Hearing this, Fei Zhiyan’s cold expression really did soften a lot. He nodded slightly and said, “Nuonuo has to look up to his brother. You see how much he loves to learn.”

Fei Jing: “…”

As a slacker, Fei Jing really had a lot of bitterness he couldn’t say. But since Fei Zhiyan didn’t really approve of him being in the entertainment industry, Fei Jing didn’t dare to touch Fei Zhiyan’s brow at this time and could only silently lower his head and eat.

Hearing his papa’s words, Nuonuo sighed heavily, as if he had a lot on his mind. “Aiya!”

This little sound was really a bit exaggerated, which made Fei Zhiyan and Fei Jing both at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Reaching out and rubbing Nuonuo’s head, Fei Zhiyan thought for a moment, a hint of seriousness in his eyes. “Kindergarten is a journey that every little friend has to go through. Your brothers have also been to kindergarten, and it was because of that that they slowly grew up to be brave adults. Nuonuo will also grow up and has to learn to be brave.”

After all, no matter how powerful Fei Zhiyan was, there would always be times when he was negligent. It was impossible to protect the little one under his wings at all times.

He also hoped that the little one would have the ability to resist the wind and rain, like a fledgling eagle spreading its wings, soaring in his own world.

Fei Jing, who was eating on the side, heard this and couldn’t help but lift his eyes slightly.

He still remembered when he was rebellious, he had been determined to break into the entertainment industry, thinking that was the field he was best at and most suitable for.

Fei Jing loved that kind of shining, hot place. Standing on stage, in a daze, he even felt that the stage was born for him.

But at that time, Fei Zhiyan had just looked at him coldly and asked him if he had thought it through.

“You have to be responsible for your own life.”

This was the last sentence Fei Zhiyan had said when he left.

But at that time, Fei Jing was immersed in great joy and didn’t understand his father’s meaning at all.

Fei Jing turned his head and glanced at Fei Zhiyan, who was still educating Nuonuo. When he lowered his head again, his lips had already curled up slightly.

In fact, from the moment he had adopted them, Fei Zhiyan had probably also been trying his best to be a good father. It was just that this responsibility had only slowly begun to show with the appearance of Nuonuo.

And Nuonuo, who was propping his face in his hands, looked at his papa, blinked a couple of times, and tilted his head to ask, “Only disobedient children go to kindergarten, ya?”

Fei Zhiyan finally knew where the problem was. He let out a light laugh and looked at Nuonuo with a very serious look. “Of course not. Kindergarten is a place where only brave little friends go.”
