Chapter 16

Fu Shizhao had secretly hidden the drawing board in the bathroom and made a digital call to their foster father when Tang Sheng and Tang Minghuai went for a walk. The digital watches that Uncle Tang had given to him and Tang Mian were not cheap, and he knew that his father might feel uncomfortable about it, but they did need these items as they were about to start kindergarten, so he accepted them. But he knew that his foster father would never accept any extra money. In his previous life, his foster father was very thrifty with his own expenses, but he was never stingy with Fu Shizhao’s pocket money. The most common phrase he heard was, “Buy something nice for Mian Mian.” If he asked his foster father to bring back something to give to Tang Mian, he would be delighted for a long time. His foster father was like that. When someone was good to him, he remembered it for a lifetime. It was because of this personality that his foster father got involved with a little troublemaker like him....

“Um.” At this moment, Fu Shizhao, who was sleeping next door, also woke up. He half-sat up and cast an inquisitive gaze in this direction. Seeing this, Tang Minghuai got up and placed him on the bed next to Tang Mian, handing him another differently colored small gift box. “Thank you, Uncle,” Fu Shizhao said obediently, folding up his short legs. Even though he already knew that there should be a digital watch inside, just like Tang Mian’s, he still earnestly unwrapped the gift. Uncle and Auntie had always been very kind to him. In his previous life, every time they brought gifts for Tang Mian, they never forgot to bring him an identical one. While Fu Shizhao was opening his gift, Tang Mian had been fiddling with the digital watch for quite some time. Actually, when he thought about it carefully, it was easy to guess his dad’s intention in giving him and Fu Shizhao digital watches. In his previous life, he had never used a digital watch, and his parents had never bought one for him bec...

After spending a while drawing on the wall, Tang Mian held Fu Shizhao’s hand and led him to the first-floor washroom. Turning on the tap, Tang Mian cleaned his own little hands first, then dampened a small towel hanging nearby. He gently wiped away the scribbles on Fu Shizhao’s face, erasing the evidence of their mischief, destroying their “proof”. The marks left by the crayons on the skin were easily wiped away, just water was enough. Staring at Fu Shizhao’s reflection in the mirror as his small face gradually became clean, Tang Mian wrung out the towel and wiped away the droplets of water from his face. Fu Shizhao cooperated throughout, obediently standing by his side, staring at him without blinking, not moving. Young Fu Shizhao was too obedient, and Tang Mian found it hard to continue teasing him. – After watching an episode of the cartoons with them, Shen Siwan went to tend to her little garden, while the maid kept an eye on the younglings, ready to handle any situations. Seeing t...

All the eyes in the living room were fixed on Tang Mian. Tang Mian blinked innocently. At his age, he shouldn’t be doing any online shopping, right? Could it be that when he was younger, he secretly used his parents’ phones to buy things online? But he seemed to have no recollection of such a thing. The package was quite large, so it couldn’t be something simple, and its price probably wasn’t cheap either. Shen SÄ«wan didn’t ask Tang Mian; instead, she said to the maid, “Open it and see. It might be something someone else bought.” Their little son was only three years old; she hadn’t allowed him to handle phones or computers at such an early age. Even his TV-watching time was strictly controlled, so it was impossible for him to have ordered a delivery. It seemed likely that someone else had ordered something and used his name. The maid nodded and expertly used a utility knife to open the package. It was a hand-painted screen that looked expensive at first glance. “It’s a drawing tablet...

Tang Mian, upon seeing the situation, carefully shifted his baby chair closer to Fu Shizhao. Taking the small spoon from Fu Shizhao’s hand, he scooped up a spoonful of the cooled food and offered it to Fu Shizhao’s mouth. Fu Shizhao, ever so cooperative, took a small bite, his adorable cheeks puffed up like a little hamster. His beautiful light brown eyes remained fixated on Tang Mian. In his previous life, Tang Mian had never fed him like this… Fu Shizhao, having successfully executed his clever plan, was in quite a good mood. As the breakfast in the small bowl gradually diminished with each spoonful, the only sound left was the crisp clinking as the spoon met the bowl’s edge. Shen Siwan observed this interaction between the two youngsters and felt immense contentment. She couldn’t help but capture a video and send it to her husband. 【Shen Siwan】: [Video] 【Shen Siwan】: Mian Mian truly is an exceptional big brother. Although her husband was likely busy and wouldn’t reply quickly, Shen ...

After brushing their teeth obediently, Shen Siwan combed through their messy hair one by one. She gazed at the slightly long bangs of the two little ones and said, “We’ll also go to the barber shop to get your hair cut while we’re at it.” Tang Mian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although his mom enjoyed having fun with them, she was quite conscious about nurturing their gender awareness. She wouldn’t let them keep long hair or tie cute little ponytails on a regular basis. At most, she would satisfy her own desires by letting them wear dresses or wigs during photoshoots. After washing their faces with their small towels, the two little ones followed Shen Siwan downstairs to the dining room. Breakfast was ready, but the maids had put it in the kitchen to keep it warm. After all, Tang Mian and Fu Shizhao usually woke up late, and without insulation, the food would get cold. It was still early spring, and the temperature hadn’t risen much yet. Their fathers and older brother had alread...

Chapter 10

When Tang Mian woke up the next day, he rolled over in bed, still groggy, and stared at the familiar duck-shaped lamp on the ceiling as his mind gradually woke up. Just yesterday, he had been in a car accident while riding in Fu Shizhao’s car, only to wake up and find himself reborn to the age of three. He saw his dad, mom, older brother, Uncle Fu, and… Fu Shizhao, who was his age. Thinking of this, Tang Mian subconsciously turned his body and looked towards the other side separated by a partition. The partition was hollowed out, allowing him to see the other side clearly without much obstruction. Fu Shizhao was still not awake. He was holding a small cat doll in his arms, his long eyelashes slightly drooping as he curled himself into a little ball. Fortunately, he didn’t press his injured arm underneath himself. Tsk, he can really sleep. Tang Mian estimated the distance and reached his little hand through the hollowed-out partition, gently poking Fu Shizhao’s small face. He ruffled hi...

Chapter 9

After watching two more episodes of the animation series, Tang Mian greedily enjoyed his time. However, Shen Siwan paused the TV screen and explained to him, “Watching too much TV isn’t good for your eyes. We can finish the rest tomorrow. How about playing something else with Zhao zhao?” Tang Mian nodded obediently and didn’t make a fuss. But secretly, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, finding it unexpected how captivating the animation series turned out to be. Fu Shizhao had injured his arm, so Tang Mian didn’t engage him in any games. Instead, he held his small hand and took a stroll around the villa. For three- or four-year-old kids, actions didn’t necessarily follow logic. Lack of logic seemed more normal at this age. Fu Shizhao allowed himself to be led by Tang Mian’s hand, while they revisited familiar spots together. In his past life, he had purchased this very villa that was almost sold, planning to give it to Tang Mian whenever he decided to buy it. Unfortunately, he had...

Chapter 8

Tang Mian finally realized why he didn’t get along well with his older brother when he was younger. His older brother’s behavior… would be disliked by any child, right? Each episode of this animated series wasn’t too long, and each episode told a new story. He was getting excited as the main character was about to catch the villain, when suddenly his own brother walked over, said nothing, and turned off the TV. The air instantly fell quiet. Moreover, this person had a smug look on his face, and without a word, he turned off the TV, then said “Let’s eat.” When the Tang family faced problems in the past, his father was already old and couldn’t handle many things. As for him, being younger, he had to rely on his older brother. It had been a while since he had seen his brother act this smug. A mix of emotions swirled within him, and Tang Mian felt his nose starting to get a bit sore as tears welled up in his eyes. Adding to the “grudge over the animated series,” Tang Mian took a deep breat...

Finally, the car leisurely returned home. Tang Mian glanced at Fu Shizhao, who obediently wore two flowers without resisting. Holding his small hand, with the help of Tang Minghuai’s embrace, they got out of the car together. After pushing open the courtyard gate and walking for a little while, Tang Mian soon spotted a familiar figure. His nose began to feel tingly, and he instinctively tightened his grip on Fu Shizhao’s hand. It was his mother. His mother from her younger days. She wore an elegantly simple dress, her hair pinned up with a clip, a few strands casually falling around her beautiful neck. She wore a bodhi bracelet on her wrist, and there were no scars from her suicide attempt. Her mental state seemed good, but her brows were slightly furrowed with concern for them. She was currently bending over, tending to the flowers in the garden. Upon hearing the noise, she looked in their direction. Tang Mian blinked rapidly, fearing she would worry, and struggled to hold back his te...
