Seeing this, Raphael directly lifted his foot, raising the little child sitting on it along with his movement.
The little child found it somewhat amusing. Just as he was about to laugh, he remembered that he was currently asking his aunt for a favor.
The little child, who was torn between wanting to laugh and wanting to cry, almost made Raphael laugh.
That night.
A teacher came to instruct the children, focusing on teaching them Chinese, including reading, writing, and recognizing idioms.
The first idiom the seated children learned was “Have an honorable child soon.”
“Have an honorable child soon” meant to have a child early.
Listening to the teacher’s explanation, the little child sniffled and finally understood why his aunt had punished him by sending him to class.
The little child was a bit uneducated.
For several days in a row, the little child learned writing and idioms every day.
By the end, the little child, wiping away tears, said goodbye to his beloved uncle and prepared to go home with Savi.
“Uncle, Ningning is going to Savi’s house to pay New Year’s visits. After the visits, Ningning will return to White Mist Star. You must come find Ningning.”
The little child kissed his uncle’s cheek and softly reminded him, “When you come, don’t bring Auntie.”
The little child didn’t want to play with his aunt.
An Nuo pinched the little child’s cheek, observing the make-up lessons over the past few days.
He did not intervene because he had already received a report from Zhan Xi. This little child had become too playful, even daring to lose his schoolbag and neglect his homework.
It was a good thing that Raphael had made the children attend lessons these past few days.
“Didn’t your aunt give you a red envelope and a little gold lock?”
An Nuo coaxed the little child, “Your aunt likes you very much, too. He made you attend classes so you can learn something.”
The little child scrunched his face, still reluctant to attend classes.
An Nuo coaxed for a long while before the little child reluctantly agreed to let his aunt visit him.
On the way to Savi’s hometown, the children started asking Savi, “Savi, where does your family live? Will your parents give us red envelopes?”
Savi: “...”
Savi frowned, not really wanting to talk about his family situation.
But the children in front of him didn’t care about his frown and continued urging him.
Finally, Savi had no choice but to say, “I live in a rather remote place. My family is very strict, and they don’t really want me to play with kids from outside.”
“This time, I got to go to the winter camp because it said there were ruins from ancient Earth. My ancestors are from ancient Earth, so my parents allowed me to attend the camp.”
During the winter camp, Savi met these few kids. By a twist of fate, they formed a revolutionary friendship while escaping danger together.
Savi’s family knew about Ningning and the others and even investigated these kids.
After the investigation, Savi’s family told him that the kids could come over, but the adults couldn’t.
The kids were stunned after hearing Savi’s explanation, especially the little child, who opened his mouth and asked, “Your place is very remote... how remote is it? Is it as remote as a barren planet?”
Savi shook his head.
The little child kept asking questions but only found out that Savi’s family was very strict and had something to do with ancient Earth. As for the rest, Savi blushed and refused to say more.
“Okay, we won’t ask anymore,” the little child patted Savi’s shoulder and stopped asking.
Anyway, they would soon meet Savi’s parents and then find out exactly what Savi’s home was like.
The kids sat on the spaceship, patiently waiting.
Meanwhile, Zhan Xi, who hadn’t called the little child, after a few days of anxiety, discussed a plan with Huo Lin.
The little child’s bad habit of not liking to do homework had to be corrected.
Although Zhan Xi believed in holistic education and didn’t overly emphasize grades, the little child tended to daydream in all classes except practical ones, and had the bad habit of not liking to do homework.
These habits needed to change.
Zhan Xi knew that the little child, who didn’t like doing homework, was still somewhat afraid of his teachers. Several times, the little child, who had been lazy the previous day and hadn’t finished his homework, cried on the way to school while hurriedly trying to complete it.
He didn’t dare not hand in his homework, but he didn’t like doing it either.
This time, although the little child had lost his backpack, Zhan Xi knew that the night before school started, the little child would definitely sneak back to retrieve it.
Then, the little child would have to make up his homework until he cried.
After discussing it with Huo Lin, Zhan Xi concluded that the little child wouldn’t change his habits unless he faced consequences for not completing his homework.
This time, as a father, Zhan Xi decided to make him face those consequences!
After the mishap, he planned to cooperate well with Teacher Lily and Huo Lin to ensure the little child learned a lesson.
Zhan Xi felt much better after figuring out how to handle the little child.
He called the little child just as his spaceship was about to land.
“Daddy.”
The little child was still a bit nervous when he received his dad’s call. However, his dad’s tone seemed quite pleasant, not like he was going to scold him.
Clutching his star device, the little child, after carefully listening to his dad’s tone, was more certain that his dad wasn’t angry.
With his dad not angry, the little child finally dared to talk properly to him, feeling a bit aggrieved: “I really miss you, Daddy.”
Zhan Xi was calm now and naturally missed the little child, too.
Besides being a bit of a handful at times, his little child was a good child.
“I miss you too. Are you going to Savi’s house now?”
“Yeah! We agreed to visit Savi’s parents for New Year!”
After visiting Savi’s house for New Year, they would return to White Mist Star.
Zhan Xi knew his schedule and said, “Daddy and Uncle Ling Qi have just arrived at White Mist Star. After you finish at Savi’s place, I’ll pick you up.”
“Let brother pick me up. He knows how to pilot a spaceship!”
Just moments ago, the little child was expressing how much he missed his dad, and now he was specifically asking for his brother to pick him up. The little child, who hadn’t seen his brother for the whole holiday, missed him dearly, too.
“I’ll tell your brother to pick you up.”
“Okay!”
When they weren’t talking about school, they presented a very loving father-son picture.
The little child, expressing love for his dad every few moments, brought a smile to Zhan Xi’s face.
After hanging up, the little child felt extremely happy.
“Savi.”
Feeling great, the little child asked Savi, “Are we there yet?”
“We’re almost there!”
Savi waited for the children to finish their phone calls and then continued to give them instructions: “When you get to my place, you must not run around. There are many places in our home where you are not allowed to go.”
“Especially because there is someone there you must not disturb—”
When Savi said this, he suddenly stopped: “Never mind, you won’t see him. We’ll just get our red envelopes here and leave.”
Compared to his strict home, the young Savi actually preferred spending time with Ningning, Wagner, and silly Lele.
“Ningning, Wagner, you must not run around.”
For some reason, Savi felt uneasy, so he looked at the two children and reminded them again.
The spaceship had just come to a stop.
The little child touched his chest and suddenly felt a stuffiness there for no reason. He looked at Savi and said firmly, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t run around.”
Usually, when he felt this stuffiness, it meant bad luck was coming.
