Chapter Six

The fists of the little baby banged on the door, making a loud noise. In addition to the banging sound, there was also the babbling of the baby language, which expressed something that was unclear.

The car door was not soundproofed.

After a few minutes, Jian Ning, who was seriously knocking on the door with his small fists, saw that the door finally opened. He was so happy that his eyes curved, and he opened his arms toward the cold-faced child inside: “Ah!”

‘Hug!’

The hugging gesture was too straightforward, so straightforward that even the cold-looking child sitting inside frowned, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

“Are you so familiar with me?”

The child sitting in the car was not very old, but he spoke clearly. There was no trace of friendliness on his small, stern face, but the small baby in front of him still opened his arms for a hug.

“Ya!”

Jian Ning’s raised thin little arms were turning a bit sour, and he blinked his eyes, urging the other party to hug him quickly.

The two children faced each other like this until Jian Ning could no longer lift his little arms. He sighed like an adult and closed his eyes. The next second, his body leaned forward.

From his perspective, he was about to hit his head on the car.

Just as his head was about to hit, a tender hand suddenly propped up his forehead, and then his small body was picked up.

Jian Ning: “!”

Jian Ning opened his eyes, and the chubby little hand instinctively grasped the arm that was lying across his waist. The owner of the arm was the cold-looking child in the car.

The frown on the cold-looking child’s face seemed to deepen. He lowered his head and looked at the little baby in his arms, and before he could say anything mean, the little baby hugged him and rubbed his soft face against him.

Cold looking baby: “......”

The cold and stern little face of the young child finally showed a hint of crack. He looked at the little baby who came over to him in disbelief, and his voice became higher: “Stop... Stop it! Who told you to do this?”

Could it be another baby intentionally sent by some family to get close to him and establish a relationship with the royal family?

Although the young child was still young, his mind was much more mature than his peers. He looked at the little baby sitting securely in his arms, trying to find some clues on its face.

But the little baby couldn’t speak and its expression was full of trust and reliance on him.

This trust came out of nowhere.

Jian Ning didn’t know what was going on in the young child’s mind. At this moment, Jian Ning only felt very satisfied, more satisfied than after drinking a full bottle of milk.

The little prince who could only be seen on the screen before had now appeared in front of him and even hugged him, which made the young baby very satisfied!

The cold and stern young chikd who held Jian Ning was none other than the imperial little prince, Huo Lin, who was three years old this year.

Jian Ning had seen the little prince countless times on the screen, so as soon as the little prince appeared, he immediately recognized him!

“Ah!”

Jian Ning’s chubby little hands tightly hugged Huo Lin’s neck, and his soft and chubby cheeks rubbed against him from time to time. He drank milk all day, and his body was full of a strong milk scent.

Huo Lin, sitting in his seat, was a bit at a loss for this milk-scented little baby.

The two children were not just sitting there. Jian Ning, who ranked last in the language class, finally spoke, but he was a bit hesitant when he spoke, with a small expression on his chubby face: “Get lost, silly egg!”

Jian Ning, who only knew this sentence, contributed his only vocabulary to Huo Lin.

The adults were very keen on teaching him to speak, but Jian Ning was not very enthusiastic about it. The first vocabulary he learned, the people around him didn’t seem too happy to hear it.

He didn’t want to upset Zhan Xi, so he simply gave up on learning to speak.

Now, in order to communicate with the handsome young child, Jian Ning stuttered and spoke again.

Huo Lin, the little prince who heard “get lost,” didn’t have a mental breakdown like Zhan Xi did. On the contrary, Huo Lin found this little baby quite interesting.

“Say it again.”

Huo Lin pinched the soft flesh on the little baby’s cheek and ordered.

Jian Ning paused for a moment, then obediently repeated: “Get lost, silly egg!”

After saying it twice, Jian Ning noticed that his mood had improved a bit, even with the little prince holding him. He saw an opportunity to get closer, but Huo Lin refused his approach.

“Okay, go play by yourself.” Huo Lin put the baby on the ground and walked away, holding the little baby who was smaller than him by a circle. His mood improved, and he planned to go somewhere else.

After a few minutes of walking, Huo Lin turned around and found the little baby he had just put down was following him.

When he looked back, the little baby even smiled at him.

Huo Lin: “…”

Huo Lin pursed his lips and ignored him.

After who knew how long they walked, Jian Ning, who was crawling behind, was out of breath from exhaustion. His originally fair little face became flushed, and his long eyelashes trembled. The big eyes under the black, grape-like eyelashes were watery and pitiful.

“Ah!”

He shouted at Huo Lin, who was walking in front of him, hoping to slow him down. But his shouting had no effect on Huo Lin, who didn’t show any mercy.

He climbed a few more steps.

A shadow fell in front of Jian Ning. It was his classmate who lived next to his bed. This classmate was a little fatter than him and had a bossy personality. Whenever he saw Jian Ning, he would come over and grab him.

Jian Ning felt a sense of crisis when he saw this tyrant neighbor.

He wanted to crawl away without hesitation.

But before he could crawl away, the chubby boy had already grabbed his foot.

Jian Ning couldn’t walk yet. Zhan Xi put on little shoes for him, but he always liked to kick them off. So eventually, Zhan Xi just gave him socks to wear.

To prevent Jian Ning from pulling off his socks again, Zhan Xi came up with an idea. He clumsily sewed various animal patterns on Jian Ning’s socks. Although the sewing was ugly, Jian Ning loved it.

After finishing the socks, Zhan Xi secretly hid them when Jian Ning pulled them off, and then seriously scared Jian Ning. “Your socks are gone. You won’t see them again.”

At first, Jian Ning didn’t believe him, but after crawling around and not finding his socks, he finally pouted and cried.

After crying a few times, Jian Ning, who loved to pull socks, no longer pulled off his own socks casually.

Watching the chubby boy grab his socks and pulled it away, Jian Ning quickly crawled back to him. He climbed up to the chubby boy and tried to snatch his socks back.

“Ah!”

‘Mine!’

Jian Ning reached out to grab his own little socks, but before he could get them, he was grabbed by the face by the chubby kid. The chubby kid had a strong grip and Jian Ning couldn’t break free, so he cried out in pain.

In the virtual world, one could also perceive the sensation of pain.

Jian Ning’s face was very delicate. After washing his face, Zhan Xi always carefully applied a layer of nourishing oil for young babies to him. The oil was transparent and had a fragrant smell.

Jian Ning not only wiped his face but also proactively asked Zhan Xi to wipe his chubby hands and feet.

The sandstorms in the barren star were huge, but Jian Ning’s little face was always fragrant, soft, white, and tender.

At this moment, the soft and tender little face of Jian Ning was being grabbed by someone, and the area that was being grabbed was red, as if it had swollen up.

The chubby kid didn’t let go, and Jian Ning was in so much pain that he cried out and almost fainted.

Just as Jian Ning was crying and wanting to see Zhan Xi, suddenly, the chubby kid who was grabbing him was turned over by someone, kicking his leg. The chubby kid panicked and reflexively let go of Jian Ning.

Jian Ning’s face was finally rescued. He covered it with his hands and looked at the person with tearful eyes.

It was the little prince who had walked away.

When the little prince saw the teary eyes, he frowned and said, “You’re so stupid. Don’t you know how to fight back when you’re being bullied?”

Jian Ning didn’t realize he was being scolded. He cried and reached out to the little prince, “Ah!”

He wanted to be comforted.

The pitiful little baby with a swollen face was crying and reaching out to hug himself. Huo Lin had never experienced such a scene or such a young baby before.

He remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly disdainful, then walked over and picked up the crying little baby.

The little baby looked soft, but actually, it was quite heavy. This was an out-and-out heavy baby. Fortunately, the imperial bloodline was naturally powerful, and even a three-year-old child’s physical strength could not be underestimated.

Huo Lin easily picked up the little chubby baby with his arms. After securing him, he planned to take him to the side so that he wouldn’t be bullied again.

“Ah!”

Jian Ning, who was lying on Huo Lin’s shoulder, strained to look back. He was extremely anxious and shouted at Huo Lin, “Egg Egg!”

Huo Lin: “?”

Jian Ning only knew this one noun, so he kept calling “Egg Egg”.

Huo Lin stopped and followed the direction Jian Ning was pointing to, discovering the blue socks that the little chubby baby had clutched in his hand. He turned back to the little chubby baby and snatched the socks back from him.

The little chubby baby was used to being domineering, so when the socks were snatched back, he wanted to resist.

He couldn’t resist for more than two seconds before being knocked down again.

The little chubby baby, who was knocked down, began to cry, but his crying fell on Huo Lin’s ears, making Huo Lin’s expression genuinely disgusted.

It was really unpleasant to hear.

Both of them were crying, but the baby in his arms was not annoying.

After snatching back the blue socks, the little prince also took Jian Ning away. Holding the recovered socks, his wet face showed a smile as he cried.

Soon.

Jian Ning was put on the car seat, clutching his own little socks.

“Okay, don’t climb around.”

Huo Lin looked at the baby sitting in the seat. With a stern face, he ordered, “Don’t follow me either. I’m logging off.”

Jian Ning blinked his eyes, not quite understanding.

Huo Lin looked at the baby, looking up at him, then at the socks in the baby’s hand. He couldn’t help but correct him, “This is socks, not Egg Egg.”

Jian Ning tightly clenched his socks and called out “egg egg” to Huo Lin again.

Huo Lin frowned and corrected him, “I’m not ‘egg egg’.”

Jian Ning squinted his eyes and softly said, “Egg egg!”

Huo Lin: “...”

He really was dumb.

This little idiot baby couldn’t even speak properly. Holding the socks, he shoved them into Huo Lin’s hand.

Huo Lin started to disapprove again. “I don’t want them.”

He had received countless gifts of all sizes, but this was the first time someone had handed him their worn socks.

No, it wasn’t a gift.

After seeing Jian Ning hand him the socks and then start to lift his chubby little foot, Huo Lin blackened his face and realized that he wanted him to help him put them on.

To make the little prince of the empire serve him by putting on socks for him was something that had never happened before.

Jian Ning lifted his chubby little foot for a while before it was finally grabbed. Then the prince squatted down with a slightly stiff movement and put the socks on him.

Unlike the panic he felt when his foot was grabbed earlier, this time, Jian Ning shook his chubby foot and laughed.

The socks were put on.

Huo Lin hadn’t left yet. He sat down next to him and said coldly, “Follow me and learn how to speak again.”

This baby was too stupid.

He was so dumb that he didn’t want to log off without the other learning a few words.

“This is a sock.”

“This is a car.”

“This is your hand. Don’t grab me. I won’t hug you.”

After who knew how long, the youngest child in the language class finally said a word other than “egg”.

He held his little face and carefully said a new word: “socks!”

Huo Lin said, “Yes, it’s socks.”

Jian Ning continued: “Car, car!”

Huo Lin said, “Okay, keep going.”

Jian Ning took a deep breath and remembered a word that Zhan Xi loved to say. He fixed his gaze on Huo Lin and said in a cute voice, “Daddy!”

Huo Lin: “......”

The three-year-old little prince also took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, then corrected him, “You’re wrong, I’m not your daddy.”

Jian Ning puffed up his chubby face and continued practicing: “Daddy!”

Huo Lin couldn’t take it anymore and pointed to himself. “Call me brother.”

Jian Ning was stunned, and then called out, “Guoguo!” (T/N: Let’s use this since it’s cuter and fit Jian Ning’s baby talk.)

Huo Lin listened to the not-quite-standard “brother” and suddenly felt something was wrong. He didn’t expect to have a younger brother, but now this child was calling him brother.

Jian Ning learned to call him “guoguo” and immediately became like a parrot, calling out to Huo Lin non-stop.

The milky “guoguo” and the sticky little child made Huo Lin’s cold face momentarily distracted.

Time passed little by little.

It was time for Jian Ning to drink milk, and although he was reluctant to leave Huo Lin, he had to go offline and find his own bottle.

Zhan Xi had finished preparing the milk powder and was about to wake up his own baby to feed him. Holding the milk powder, he checked on the baby’s condition. Upon inspection, his anger immediately surged up.

How did his precious baby’s little face become swollen?!

The little prince: Teach my wife.
