My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

At Lu Shulang's insistence, the Lu family decided not to force him to go to school.

Lu Shulang was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He was so excited that he had some insomnia.

At 7 a.m., just when he thought he could sleep in, he was woken up by his mother, Wen Xian.

"Mom, didn't you say I didn't have to go to school? Why are you calling me so early?"

Lu Shulang struggled to open his eyes, glanced at her, then pulled the covers back over his head and went back to sleep.

"Smack."

I had just lay down when I received a hard slap on my butt, which was only covered by long underwear.

"Ouch, that hurts! Mom, why did you hit me?"

Lu Shulang covered his buttocks, looking at his mother with a puzzled expression.

"Everyone in this family has something to do. Since you don't want to go to school, you have to find something to do. Starting today, you'll go to your uncle's company to help out every day. Don't think that just because you're not in school you can be a pampered prince at home."

Wen Xian forcibly pulled him up and watched him get dressed and wash up the whole time before going downstairs to eat.

When he sat down at the table, Lu Chenyue hadn't come down yet, and the couple were still worrying about yet another little guy who didn't want to go to school.

At 7:30, Lu Shulang had already finished breakfast when Lu Chenyue carried the still-sleepy Le Bao downstairs.

The reason is simple: when I called Le Bao to wake up at this time yesterday, she responded with some whimpering, but today, even though I called her half an hour later, she didn't respond no matter how I called her.

Helpless, Lu Chenyue and Shen Wanning could only carry her to get dressed and washed, and then carry her downstairs to eat.

Because the little one is a slow eater, they try to feed her as early as possible.

After finishing his meal, Lu Shulang sat listlessly at the table, fiddling with the steamed bun in his hand, until Lu Chenyue came down.

"Uncle!"

His sudden shout startled Le Bao in Lu Chenyue's arms, but she still didn't open her eyes.

"What are you yelling about so early in the morning? You scared my sister."

Wen Xian smacked him on the back of the head. This brat, he's always causing trouble.

Lu Shulang scratched the back of his head. "That tigress is fierce."

Shen Wanning placed Lu Chenyue's breakfast in front of him and glanced at Le Bao, who still had her eyes closed.

Last night, the couple tried to talk to the little one a lot, but she got annoyed and went to bed early, covering her ears and falling asleep.

In the past, she would always jump up and down on the bed for half an hour before going to sleep, and have her parents play with her, before she would tell her a bedtime story.

Last night was much easier; maybe I can do it this way from now on.

Shen Wanning broke open the steaming hot bun, revealing the meat filling inside, and the aroma instantly filled her nostrils.

She took the broken bun and placed it under Le Bao's nose. She watched as the little chubby boy's nose twitched, but he stubbornly refused to open his eyes, pretending that he was not awake.

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed at the little guy's antics.

"Le Bao? Baby? Wake up, it's time to eat. There's your favorite big meat bun!"

Shen Wanning gently shook her.

Looking at his chubby daughter in his arms, who wouldn't open her eyes no matter how much he shook her, Lu Chenyue felt that his daughter was both funny and cute.

Even if you pretend to be asleep and don't open your eyes, you still have to go to school. It might even be easier to do; just throw yourself into the teacher's arms when you get to school—quiet, quick, and without so much pulling and tugging.

"Looks like we won't get to eat the big meat buns today. Mmm, they smell so good. Lu Chenyue, let's eat them all, it'll just be a waste to leave them."

Shen Wanning pretended to take a big bite of the bun and deliberately made a loud chewing sound.

She chewed while observing the little fat boy's reaction.

"Pfft, hahaha."

Shen Wanning winked at the people at the table, signaling them to look at Le Bao.

Lu Shulang walked up to Le Bao and stared at her.

The chubby boy, with his eyes closed, smacked his lips, and a trickle of unidentified liquid dripped from his chin onto Lu Chenyue's sleeve.

Lu Chenyue: This is very sudden.

The adults all held back their laughter, but Lu Shulang, the simpleton, couldn't help himself and burst out laughing, and he laughed very loudly.

"Hahaha, little sister, you're drooling all over your uncle's sleeve, aren't you going to wake up?"

Le Bao, exposed: No, I'm not awake. Don't call me, I'm still not awake.

Seeing that the little one was determined to keep up the act, the couple stopped paying attention to her. They would have the housekeeper put her portion in a thermos and send it to school; she would know to eat when she was hungry.

After dinner, Lu Chenyue and Shen Wanning left with the two children. Originally, Lu Jianguo, Xiang Jiahui, and Shen Huaqiang wanted to come along too, but Shen Wanning disagreed, not wanting her to feel that everyone was reluctant to part with her and was spoiling her.

She couldn't stand it at first, but over time she gradually accepted it.

When they arrived at the school gate, Lu Shulang watched his classmates walk into the campus with their schoolbags, and smugly became a bystander.

"Lu Shulang, aren't you going in? Class is about to start."

His classmates saw Lu Shulang standing at the door with nothing on him and had no intention of going in.

"Starting today, I don't have to go to school anymore. My parents have agreed to let me stop going to school. La la la, you guys go ahead and go."

"Really? Your parents are so kind. I also told my mom I didn't want to go to school, and she pinned me to the table and beat me up. She told me to choose between going to school or getting beaten up, so I had no choice but to come to school."

"Me too, me too. My dad said if I don't go to school, I won't be able to earn any money even if I become a beggar."

"..."

Several people surrounded Lu Shulang, chattering about their experiences, looking at him with envy.

After showing off, Lu Shulang followed his uncle and aunt to the entrance of the kindergarten next door.

As usual, the extreme tug-of-war between children and parents took place here.

Some children clung to their mothers' hair and wouldn't let go, some clung to their fathers' legs and wouldn't get down, and some clung to the door and refused to go inside.

In short, upon arriving here, all I heard was the sound of weeping.

"Le Bao, wake up, we're at school."

Shen Wanning patted the little guy's face in Lu Chenyue's arms.

Le Bao blinked frequently, but still didn't open her eyes.

Shen Wanning was impressed by this clever little devil; he had managed to keep up the act for so long this time.

She didn't care about anything else and called over Teacher Ranran to take the chubby boy inside.

Just as Teacher Ranran was about to take Le Bao away, the chubby boy, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, grabbed Lu Chenyue's neck tightly with both hands, and kicked his legs forcefully in the teacher's arms.

"Don't hug me! Spread your elbows, I want poop."

She realized that pretending to be asleep was useless, so she simply opened her eyes and started howling.

Lu Chenyue kept protecting the little one's back, afraid she would fall.

"Lu Chenyue, give her to me."

Seeing that Lu Chenyue couldn't bring herself to do it, Shen Wanning stepped forward and forcibly pried her hands apart until she was completely out of her father's arms.

No matter how much she struggled and kicked, Shen Wanning and Teacher Ranran wouldn't let go, carrying her all the way into the classroom.

Lu Shulang, who witnessed the entire scene, shuddered. Was this still my gentle and kind aunt?
