If someone dared to bully their family’s child, their family’s elder would surely come looking for them.
The threatened Savi glanced at them, wanting to say something, but held it back.
He had seen Ning and Wagner on the Star Network before. He also knew that Ning had a good relationship with the imperial family, and Wagner was the son of the Federal marshal. However, his identity was not inferior to theirs.
If he hadn’t promised his parents not to easily reveal his identity before going out, Savi would have confronted and threatened them long ago.
“Lele, you’ll sleep with me tonight.”
The little child who was always pinned down by Lele at night, having nightmares, handed Lele over to Savi, and then slept with Wagner.
He had slept with Wagner before, and neither of them dominated the other during sleep.
Savi looked at Lele, who was already sitting in his bed, and muttered with disdain, “Growing up like this, how can your temperament be so weak?”
It seemed like any slight movement would startle this child.
Lele, taught by Savi, couldn’t persist for long. He yawned shortly. Despite being very sleepy, he dared not sleep. Yawning until tears filled his eyes, he obediently opened his mouth and learned pronunciation meticulously from Savi.
Seeing Lele’s small body starting to sway, Savi furrowed his brows again.
How was this child raised?
Not only did he not refuse people, but he was also so afraid of them. Were his family members abusive to him?
Full of doubts, Savi could only temporarily suppress them as he looked at the already closed-eyed Lele and put him to sleep.
Handing Lele over to Savi, the little child in the adjacent bed slept soundly.
The next day, when the teacher came to call them, he found Ningning and Wagner sleeping together. One child was at the head of the bed, and the other was at the foot, with Ningning almost falling off the bed.
On the other two small beds, Savi was already awake. Although Lele hadn’t woken up, his clothes were changed, and he was sleeping obediently on his own bed.
The teacher was very satisfied with this scene.
Turning to Savi, he asked, “Did Lele dress himself?”
Savi nodded, his expression unchanged. “Yeah, he dressed himself, played for a while, and then went back to sleep.”
The teacher had no doubts about him, and his satisfaction with Lele’s performance was visibly apparent.
“Excellent.”
The teacher glanced at Lele, then at Ningning on the neighboring bed, and said with relief, “Since Lele can take care of himself, Ningning doesn’t have to worry too much about him.”
It was now time to get up, and the teacher woke up both Ningning, who was still in a dream, and Wagner.
After getting up, the teacher gave them time to dress and freshen up.
“Half an hour from now, we’ll be leaving for breakfast.”
With the temptation of breakfast, even the sleepy children overcame their drowsiness and got up from bed.
Savi reminded Lele as well.
He looked at Lele, who ate just a little for breakfast, and then at Ningning, who could eat several bowls at once, and became puzzled.
Both were children, but why did some children eat like piglets, while others were as delicate as flower buds?
Back home, adults always put Ningning’s clothes on him.
Though Zhan Xi said he wanted the little child to dress himself, every morning when the little child was still half-asleep, Zhan Xi would still personally dress him.
Whenever he’s in the palace, Ludwig, even if he had a meeting in the morning, would dress the little child before leaving.
Now, without adults there dress him, the little child put on his clothes haphazardly, not caring about matching. He wore whatever clothes he found.
After putting on some random clothes, the little child sat on the ground, put on his shoes, and went to see Lele.
Lele was already dressed and didn’t need him to help.
“Savi, help Lele put on his shoes.”
After saying this to Savi, the little child sat on the ground and put on his own shoes.
Savi, looking at the little child acting all familiar, was about to question why he had to put on the shoes when Lele handed him his small shoes.
Lele sat on the edge of the bed, wiggling his feet.
Wagner on the adjacent bed, watching Lele being attended to, was reminded of Ningning.
Ningning used to wiggle his chubby feet like this, waiting for someone to put on his shoes.
Hmm.
Sure enough, Ningning seemed more like Lele’s dad.
Coming out of the room, the teacher took the children to have breakfast first.
Because Lele ate too much last night, he only ate a little for breakfast.
Wagner and Ningning, looking at Lele’s appetite, felt a little uneasy. He turned his face and said seriously to Lele, “Lele, when we get home, let Uncle Ling Qi make you a better meal.”
“My brother’s house also has better meals. You’ll definitely get fat then.”
Lele shook his head when he heard this. “Lele doesn’t want to be fat.”
Ningning: “...”
The child, who had always been called little chubby, holding the bowl, stiffened a bit.
Lele was an emotionally sensitive child. When he saw that Dad Ningning suddenly stopped moving, he realized something was wrong.
“Lele likes to be chubby.”
Little Chubby: “...”
The little chubby felt even worse. He didn’t want to be just a fat child; he wanted to be a slim child!
“Ningning, Lele, you two eat well and don’t whisper.”
Sometimes children were not focused while eating, and if not reminded, they could take a long time to finish breakfast.
Ningning and Lele, who were reminded by the teacher, continued to eat their meals obediently.
After the meal.
The teacher in charge of the whole team announced various rules for the children to live independently.
The first rule: Children should take care of themselves, such as eating, dressing, and washing their clothes.
The second rule: Children should enhance their life knowledge, and the teacher will teach them various life-related knowledge. The children should firmly remember and apply it in practice.
The third rule: The winter camp will simulate some dangerous situations, and the children should learn to escape in these dangerous scenarios.
And there were the fourth and fifth rules...
The little child had always been indifferent to such lengthy discussions; it went in one ear and out the other.
Anticipating the children’s lack of focus, the teacher, after repeating the lecture several times, individually explained it to each child.
The daydreaming little child, experienced in handling such situations, looked earnestly at the teacher, presenting a model student appearance. However, in reality, not many words made their way into his ears.
After explaining the rules to the children, the entire group proceeded on foot for the rest of the journey.
As they walked, the teacher introduced the buildings they encountered. However, these structures were short, unlike the tall buildings commonly seen nowadays. Not only were the buildings short, but there were also numerous underground spaces.
The teacher, a fan of ancient Earth, spoke about the underground spaces: “In ancient Earth, there was a country that had many underground spaces. After excavating this site, our experts speculated that it belonged to that country.”
The teacher continued elaborating, while the little child occasionally nod his head.
The teacher’s words seemed incorrect to the little child. The ancient Earth people also lived in grand and tall buildings, had beautiful lotus flowers, and their lotus flowers were pink.
“Ningning.”
Wagner walked alongside him, whispering, “Have you never been to this place before?”
“Nope.”
“Then why do you think this isn’t where the ancient Earth people lived?”
“I just know.”
The little child struggled to explain, not knowing how to express that it was an instinctual feeling that this wasn’t where the ancient Earth people lived.
Because of this knowledge, he was certain that it wasn’t the dwelling place of the ancient Earth people.
Meanwhile, the teacher led the group ahead.
Their destination was the ancient Earth forest site, but since it couldn’t be restored, they created a virtual environment. In this virtual environment, there were various ancient Earth creatures, giving the children a lifelike experience.
Although Wagner and Ningning were good friends, they occasionally had disagreements. Currently, Wagner believed that the ancient Earth people lived here.
The teacher’s explanation was detailed and surely not deceiving them.
The two little children, having reached an impasse, exchanged glances and then fell silent, ignoring each other.
As the children were about to be immersed in a specific environment for the winter camp’s special training, the young prince in the empire had already started missing the little child who used to come to the palace for meals.
Even Ai Wei felt a bit stifled without the playful little child around.
The family of three had a meal together, but if she didn’t speak at the table, the father and son wouldn’t say a word.
After enduring for a few days, Huo Lin couldn’t resist and went to his father’s study.
“Father, can I choose the location for this year’s winter break practical experience?”
As the prince of the empire and the hope for its future, Huo Lin needed to be outstanding and powerful to eventually inherit his father’s position.
To achieve excellence and strength, staying only in the imperial palace wouldn’t suffice.
The prince and emperor of the empire didn’t require a too gentle environment.
During his summer vacation, Huo Lin went outside and killed a king beast. Although it wasn’t one of the empire’s most wanted beast, killing such a creature was already quite remarkable.
After making his request, Huo Lin quietly waited for his father’s response.
Ludwig sat at the desk and looked up.
“Caesar, do you want to go to the practical experience, or do you want to visit Ningning?”
Ludwig, as a father, was not at all tactful; he straightforwardly saw through his son.
Huo Lin pursed his lips, paused for a few seconds, and honestly replied, “Both.”
He wanted to go to the practical experience but also wished to visit Ningning along the way.
Perhaps because Ningning had been by his side since kindergarten, his sudden departure was something he couldn’t adapt to.
“Father, Ningning’s report card has come out, and I can conveniently take it to him.”
Ludwig: “...”
Ludwig raised an eyebrow. “Why haven’t I received the report card?”
Huo Lin fell silent for a moment and replied, “Maybe Uncle Zhang hasn’t had a chance to send it to you yet.”
The final exam papers for kindergarten had already been corrected, and the online community was eagerly anticipating the year-end results.
Especially after the exposure of the little child’s true identity, under the comments on the imperial account, people constantly came to inquire.
[Your Majesty, has Little Chubby’s grades come out yet?]
[I beg to see Little Chubby’s report card! I want to see if Little Chubby’s head-knocking has paid off!]
[Sobbing, quickly let me know how many points Little Chubby scored. I also prayed to Confucius before my exams, and my results haven’t come out yet!]
[Every day, make a wish. His Majesty the Emperor is too busy, so please let His Highness Caesar or Her Highness the Queen record a video of the little child seeing his report card. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen this chubby little one, and Auntie wants to see him!]
These comments on the StarNet were seen by the imperial family of three.
Without these people saying, Ludwig also planned to record a video. It’s just that whether he would send the video out after recording was uncertain.
On the official account of the imperial family, there had only been one video featuring the chubby little child, and besides that, Ludwig had not updated any dynamics of the child.
Excessive exposure might not necessarily bring benefits, and Ludwig knew this well. He had saved many videos of the little child on his star device, but he didn’t share them.
“When did Zhan Xi send you the report card?”
Ludwig was still asking his son, with no emotional fluctuations on his face, but he was already displeased in his heart.
The fact that the little child’s report card was already here and yet he actually knew about it later than Caesar.
Just as Ludwig was asking, Zhan Xi happened to send him the report card.
Ludwig, who heard the notification, smoothed out the slight frown on his face for a second.
He lowered his head and enlarged the screen of the star device.
On the star device screen, the bright red unsatisfactory report card of the little child suddenly entered his sight.
