How to raise a father who is overly controlling of his daughter

Rena apologized, "I'm sorry, Airwheel, I forgot."

"Squeak." Hamster Wheel stretched out its paws and gestured something.

Rena blinked, not understanding, until she followed the flywheel's claws and saw the potato chips on the table.

Rena handed over the bag of potato chips. "Do you want these?"

"Squeak squeak squeak!" The hamster nodded repeatedly, making an extremely human-like gesture with its paws, and blinking its eyes cutely. It was very adorable.

Rena hesitated, but still refused: "No! Hamsters can't eat potato chips."

"Squeak!" The hamster blinked its cute eyes, pleading.

"No, you can't!" Rena said firmly, "I'm doing this for your own good."

"Squeak..." Seeing Rena's firm attitude, the hamster knew it was hopeless and sat down on the ground in disappointment.

Chapter Ninety-Six: Resentment

Seeing the hamster like this, Rena couldn't bear it and said, "Don't be sad, let you watch some cartoons." She carried the cage to the coffee table and noticed Jenny in the fish tank.

"I'll have Jenny come and keep you company." Rena picked up the fish tank and placed it next to the hamster.

Jenny and Flywheel looked at each other, exchanging glances.

"Hehe, you should get along well!" Rena laughed, like a mother talking to her two children.

Upon hearing Rena's words, Jenny glanced at Flywheel, retreated back into his shell, and began to withdraw into himself.

Flywheel turned his head to one side, showing no interest in the programs on TV.

"Hmm." Rena didn't know what to do.

"Squirrel, Squirrel?" Rena called out to Squirrel in the fish tank. But no matter how Rena called, Squirrel remained huddled in its shell, drifting further and further down the path of self-isolation.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" Jenny ignored her, and Rena turned her attention to the flywheel on the side.

The flywheel seemed to be spitting air; if Rena was on the left, it would turn its head to the right, and if Rena was on the right, it would turn its head to the left, never even glancing at Rena.

"Woo..." Rena looked like a wounded kitten when neither of them paid any attention to her.

"Whatever! I'll watch mine!" Rena retorted angrily, plopping down on the sofa. She picked up a potato chip, about to pop it into her mouth, when she suddenly remembered that Flying Wheel couldn't eat potato chips. Wasn't it a bit too much for her to eat them in front of it? After thinking about it, she put the chips aside, deciding to save them for later.

Rena watched the animation for a while, but gradually got bored. She apologized to the hamster in the cage, "Okay, Flywheel, it was my fault. Don't ignore me."

Fei Lun glanced at Rena, then quickly looked away.

"Oh, right!" Rena remembered something and took out a few peanuts and sunflower seeds from the cabinet in front of her. She peeled the peanuts and sunflower seeds and put them in the cage.

Rena said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Hamster Wheel glanced disdainfully at the peanuts and sunflower seeds, as if to say, "You think you can bribe me with this little bit?" It gently sniffed, "They smell pretty good." Slightly tempted, it patted its belly.

Seeing that the hamster ignored her, Rena lowered her head in disappointment. Just then, she heard a squeaking sound coming from the cage.

Rena's eyes lit up, and Fei Lun finally couldn't resist the temptation of the food and started eating.

"Hehehe." Rena laughed happily.

After Feilun had eaten and drunk his fill, he lazily plopped down on the ground, rubbed his little belly, and let out a burp.

"Can you forgive me now?" Rena pleaded.

"Squeak..." Flywheel hesitated, then after thinking for a moment, it stretched out its claws and pointed to the cage door, "Squeak squeak squeak!"

"What do you mean?" Rena asked, puzzled. "You want me to let you out, right?"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The flywheel nodded repeatedly, squeaking incessantly, as if to say, "If you let me out, I will forgive you."

Rena hesitated and said, "If I let you out, won't you run away?"

"Squeak!" The flywheel stood up, patting its chest with its claws as if to make a promise.

"Okay, just don't run around, okay?" Rena finally decided to release the Flywheel. The Flywheel seemed quite intelligent, and Rena believed it wouldn't run around.

Rena opened the cage, and the flywheel immediately ran out, excitedly circling the cage as if it had finally been liberated from its confined space.

"Flywheel, don't run around," Rena said.

The flywheel stopped and squeaked obediently.

Rena thought it was so cute that she reached out and gently rubbed the flywheel head.

Flywheel affectionately rubbed its little head against Rena's index finger.

Rena laughed happily and played with the flying wheel all afternoon.

Yi Yue came out of her room. It was getting late, and she needed to make dinner.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Rena playing with a spinning wheel in the living room.

Flywheel lay on the remote control, and Rena lay on the sofa. The two of them looked so languid, they were practically identical.

Izuki frowned and asked, "Rena, why did you release the Flying Gear?"

Rena said, "Feilun didn't want to stay in the cage, so I let it out."

"Nonsense, put the flywheel back right now," Yi Yue said.

Rena looked at the flywheel, which squeaked in protest.

Rena pouted and said, "Feilun said he doesn't want to go back."

“How can that be?” Yi Yue said.

Rena said, "Dad, Flywheel wants to stay in the cage, why force him?"

“It’s not to lock it up, but to protect it. Hamsters are very fragile,” Izuki said.

Reina gave a vague "oh" and looked disappointed.

Seeing Reina's state, Itsuki couldn't bear it and said, "It doesn't have to go back to its cage, but you have to protect it, understand?"

Rena's dim eyes brightened, and she cheered, "Yay!" She promised, "I'll definitely take good care of Airwheel!"

The chubby hamster, Flywheel, jumped up happily and squeaked excitedly when it heard that it didn't have to go back to its cage.

Watching the hopping hamster, Yi Yue thought to herself, "Does it understand what I'm saying? It's incredibly intelligent, almost like it's become a spirit." Speaking of becoming a spirit, Yi Yue thought of something and looked at the turtle in the fish tank next to her.

I wonder if this turtle is also so intelligent.

Seeing that Yiyue was looking at it, Jenny blew a bubble, then retreated back into its shell and became withdrawn.

Yiyue: "..."

……

At the dining table, eating dinner.

Yixue looked at the hamster beside her, sitting on the table and eating vegetables, and hesitated to pick up her chopsticks.

Seeing that Yixue was looking at it, Flywheel squeaked shyly twice, moved away from Yixue, and hid next to Lingnai to eat vegetables.

Yixue looked at Yiyue.

Izuki laughed and said, "Rena insisted that Fei Lun eat with us."

Yixue was speechless for a moment, feeling that something was very abnormal and extremely strange.

Rena chuckled and said to Feilun, who was eating, "Don't be picky, you have to eat everything."

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Enough is Enough

The next day, after breakfast, Rena fed the hamster and muttered to herself, "Feilun, I have to go to school later and I can't play with you anymore."

The flywheel kept squeaking and groaning, as if begging Rena not to leave.

"No, I want to go with you, but I have to go to school, there's nothing I can do," Rena said helplessly.

The flywheel rolled around in the cage, its eyes darted around, and it suddenly jumped up, pointing at the cage door and barking incessantly.

"Are you coming to school with me?" Rena understood what Fei Lun meant.

Flywheel nodded, blinking its eyes pleadingly.

Rena hesitated, but couldn't resist Fei Lun's pleading, so she agreed: "Okay, I promise you, but you absolutely mustn't make a sound or run around, understand? If the teacher finds out, you and I will definitely be in big trouble."

Flywheel patted his chest and made a promise.

Rena opened the cage door, carefully took the flywheel in her hand, went back to her room, grabbed a small cloth bag, stuffed it with a lot of cotton cloth to prevent the flywheel from getting stuck, carefully put it in, leaving an opening, and put it in her schoolbag.

"Rena, it's time for school, hurry up and come out." Itsuki urged Rena to go to school from outside the door.

Rena replied, "Okay." She then reminded the toy wheel in her backpack, "Don't make a sound! If Dad finds out, you and I will be in big trouble." With that, she slung her backpack over her shoulder, went out, and got into the car.

Throughout the journey, Rena sat silently in the back seat, clutching her schoolbag.

"That's strange, Rena, why aren't you saying anything?" Itsuki asked curiously as she drove.

Yixue was also puzzled. Usually, Lingna and she would fight over the passenger seat, so why did she take the initiative to sit in the back today?

"Is she sick?" Izuki parked the car across from the school gate, turned around and reached out to touch Reina's forehead.

“Your body temperature is normal,” Yi Yue said.

Rena said, "I'm not sick, I just don't want to talk!" She slung her backpack over her shoulder, pushed open the car door, and got out of the car, saying, "Dad, I'm going to school now." She hurried away.

Izuki was puzzled, feeling that Reina was hiding something from him, and something was very wrong.

Rena returned to class, hurriedly stuffed her schoolbag into her drawer, unzipped it, and took out the flywheel from the cloth bag.

The flywheel was excited to see the light and was about to squeal when Rena put a finger to her lips and shushed her: "Don't make a sound, or the others will find out."

Feilun nodded repeatedly, and Rena placed the cloth bag in the corner of the drawer, not wanting anyone else to see it.

The school bell rang, and the math teacher entered the room. She was the homeroom teacher, giving her routine class meeting speech, and was at the front desk discussing the final exam results.

Rena nudged Kyoko's arm quietly.

"What are you doing?" Xingzi asked.
