Chapter 6, he held the child in one arm and carried the food in the other.

Tong Yao practiced martial arts from a young age, enduring hardships that are unimaginable to ordinary people. Initially, she trained to protect herself, but later she unexpectedly discovered joy in it, which led her to take her martial arts practice very seriously.

I am quite democratic, having provided you with two options. However, as you know, you are the people and I am the master

"Alright." Tong Yao, who was playing with Ye Ye, seemed to have transformed into a different person, her gentleness making Qin Zhan feel somewhat uncomfortable

At this moment, Qin Zhan suggested, "Let's go have breakfast."

"Well... at that time I was a bit hungry, but the dishes weren't ready yet..." Qin Zhan touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed

"Really? I didn't realize you had this skill." Perhaps it was due to being too hungry, or perhaps the dish was indeed too delicious, as a large portion of spicy chicken was finished in just a few minutes

Ren Yue entered from outside and saw Qin Zhan staring blankly at his phone. He leaned over and asked, "Are you checking in with the goddess?"

When the doorbell rang, Qin Zhan was immersed in a beautiful dream: he was walking along the beach holding Tong Yao's hand, and Tong Yao was smiling happily at him

Tong Yao looked at him with amusement and said with great compassion, "If you are tired, just sleep. It will take a while to arrive."

Due to this good mood, Qin Zhan ran a total of 8 kilometers in one go that night. When he finally stopped, he realized that his whole body felt very sore and weak

Qin Zhan shook his head, followed her inside, and saw Tong Yao holding Ye Ye in her left arm while taking out a notebook and reference book with her right hand

Qin Yue nodded, and the topic was smoothly shifted

After Ye Ye finished washing up, he played for a while. Qin Zhan reminded him, "Don't just play with the sparks, hurry up and prepare your thesis."

Ren Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly cursed, "Once again, I have been tricked..."

Qin Zhan looked astonished, while Tong Yao felt a bit embarrassed and hurried to explain: "I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just bought a little bit of everything..."

Qin Zhan looked at Tong Yao's WeChat message with a sense of gloom: "I need to prepare my graduation thesis during the holiday, so I can't go out to play. I wish you all a great time!" After a while, he nodded.

Ye Ye has a very regular routine; after finishing his milk, he falls asleep shortly thereafter

Ren Yue felt a sudden chill all over and shook his head, saying, "Why is it that at such a young age, I have to live the life of a caretaker?" While mumbling to himself, his hands were busy, swiftly helping Qin Zhan pack up his things

Qin Zhan did not originally intend to deceive him; he simply could not sit still any longer at the thought of having six-pack abs and the scene of laughing and talking romantically with Tong Yao

Qin Zhan asked: "What is the matter?"

Tong Yao also looked at Ye Ye's small face: big eyes, double eyelids, long eyelashes, pouting lips, a round and rosy face, and a pair of small dimples

Qin Yue continued, "Moreover, I cannot guarantee the hygiene conditions of the hotel, so it is advisable to bring along bed sheets, duvet covers, bath towels, and towels for peace of mind. Traveling is all about enjoyment, so do whatever makes you comfortable."

That morning, Qin Zhan went to the playground to run as planned. While stretching after his run, he accidentally strained his back. As he walked back to the dormitory slowly, with his belly out and hands on his hips, Ren Yue saw his strange posture and first burst into laughter, then asked, "What on earth were you thinking so early in the morning?"

"It is a must to go!" Qin Zhan said decisively

Tong Yao smiled and asked: "Do you like little sparks?"

Is the heavens going to doom me? Qin Zhan silently sighed in his heart

He walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and saw it filled with vegetables and meat, smiling with satisfaction

The breakfast you bought is getting cold, haven't you just woken up?" Tong Yao placed the breakfast on the dining table, saying this while rubbing her hands together.

Almost there, just a step away from breaking through the barrier. Since it's rare to go out, why not choose a warm and convenient place to stay... like Thailand

Tong Yao's attitude has softened, and Qin Zhan observes this with quiet joy in his heart, deeply sighing that this trip was not in vain: the road of love is long, yet it is also promising

While Qin Zhan was eating, Tong Yao was playing with Ye Ye, saying: "Call Auntie."

Qin Zhan ignored him, picked up the freshly served large kidney and took a few bites. As he chewed a few mouthfuls, it seemed he remembered something, and immediately put it down, leaving behind the words "You eat it yourself" before running out without looking back

"Going to see a transgender performer? Wow! You are so bold, does the goddess know?" Ren Yue teased, and as Qin Zhan threw a book at him, Ren Yue immediately begged for mercy, "I know, I know, I will ask Jiao Jiao." After saying this, he quickly ran out of the dormitory

Tong Yao followed Qin Zhan to the nursery

Qin Zhan silently contemplated for a moment, then asked: "Is she in the martial arts association? If not, should I also sign up tomorrow?"

"Oh, have you already struck up a connection with the goddess so soon?" Ren Yue said, half in disbelief.

Selected several vegetables, washed them, chopped them, and stir-fried them; everything was smooth and natural

Tong Yao reached out and fiercely pinched Qin Zhan's arm.

However, I have also made plans to go out with my classmates. You can bring Ye Ye along as well said Qin Zhan immediately, feeling a surge of emotion inside.

Women are truly terrifying! Will Tong Yao also be like this in the future? Qin Zhan thought to himself

"Enjoying the scenery, admiring the beauty," Ren Yue said with a mischievous smile

What do you understand! When going out to play, at least one outfit is required for the day, along with a pair of shoes, plus a hat, a silk scarf, and a bag—after all, we need to take photos.

Ximen Kebab. I haven't been there for a long time, and I really miss their large kidney skewers. It is said that there are new dishes recently, but I haven't had the chance to go and try them.

After waiting for a few minutes without receiving a reply, Qin Zhan continued with his grooming and packed the items he needed to take home that evening

Little Ye Ye sipped on milk, revealing a sweet smile. On her fair and tender little face, two shallow dimples appeared, and her long, curled eyelashes fluttered slightly, creating a charming sight

Are you ... ... '' foolish

He picked up his phone and saw it was the female demon king, and he gloomily greeted her: "Sister"

As the time approached 12 o'clock, Qin Zhan got up to prepare the milk powder. While feeding Ye Ye, he hummed softly: "The melody coming towards me is so familiar, it feels like an acquaintance, yet it is so different, it is all that we love the most..."

Tong Yao took the box of apples from Qin Zhan's hands and shook her head, saying: "Let me do it, don't tire yourself out."

One must understand gratitude. Tong Yao could not possibly take something and go upstairs, nor could Qin Zhan carry Ye Ye to the girls' dormitory. Fortunately, there is a café nearby

Ye Ye had a puzzled expression on his face and earnestly repeated, "Spark? Flower?"

Where can one go on a honeymoon with children? You can go next time. We have already booked our tickets, and it is not easy to cancel them

One person teaches earnestly, while the other learns diligently, and combined with their outstanding appearance, they are truly a sight to behold. Because of the two of them, the martial arts association has surprisingly attracted quite a number of new members

Ye Ye frowned unhappily and said, "Why?"

"Yeyeye, would you like to go to school with your uncle to have some fun?" Thinking that he couldn't leave the child alone at home, Qin Zhan decided to take Yeyeye to school and, by the way, visit Tong Yao.

Fortunately, Ye Ye, who had been accustomed to being neglected by his parents, quietly played by himself in Qin Zhan's arms without crying or making a fuss

Qin Zhan cast him an annoyed glance and asked, "How do we plan to spend New Year's Day?"

Over the years, I have hardly ever been pursued by anyone. The only person who pursued me, Qin Zhan, is good in every way, yet he is unfortunately a "weakling" and not my "ideal type". ... Alas, is there really a way to have it all in this world ...

Has there been such quick progress? Tong Yao looked at him in surprise, feeling that she had underestimated him too much

Qin Yue was not entirely wrong; Ye Ye indeed enjoys playing—she can hold onto a Transformer and play with it for half a day, laughing joyfully.

Ren Yue half-jokingly said, "Ha, the infatuated talented man has finally come to his senses"

Today, Xu Jiaojiao is wearing a watermelon-red short cotton jacket, paired with a black pleated skirt and black high heels, her hair styled in a high ponytail, resembling a blooming little red flower from a distance. She has a petite figure and fair skin, making her increasingly endearing to those who gaze upon her

I fear that your desire to try new dishes is a pretense, but your genuine wish to encounter Teacher Li, who is not satisfied without a substantial kidney, is true, isn't it? Qin Zhan said with a slight smile

Only Ye Ye was seen lying alone on the bed, with limbs stretched out and his little face tilted towards the window. As they approached, they noticed that the little fellow had his eyes half-closed, pouting his small lips, and was softly snoring, sleeping soundly

I am Little Spark

Ah, are you hungry? Please take me to have a look

In a moment of pride and forgetfulness, he blurted out, "Ye Ye, since you like it so much, why not stop calling me Aunt and instead call me Auntie?"

The car stopped at the entrance of the nursing home. Qin Zhan was the first to get out of the car, deliberately rolling up his sleeves to subtly reveal his slightly bulging biceps, and said, "I will move the apples first"

As the car moved, the two of them swayed gently. Unbeknownst to them, Tong Yao, who was sitting on the inside, leaned against the window, while Qin Zhan rested his shoulder against hers, creating an indescribable sense of harmony.

Upon hearing these words, Tong Yao felt a warmth in her heart and ran out of the dormitory after putting on her coat

Auntie. Ye Ye's voice was sweet, almost melting Tong Yao's heart

Qin Zhan, still half-asleep, only got up to turn off the "human alarm clock" after Ren Yue called out "Tong Yao" four or five times. After finishing his run, he registered at the Martial Arts Association.

Oh, my nephew, I will take care of him for a few days for my sister

Come help me take care of the child, how are you writing your thesis

Qin Zhan cast a glance, imagining a day when he could be as intimate with Tong Yao, and an involuntary smile, born from the heart, appeared at the corner of his mouth. The dim yellow light softly illuminated his face, outlining a handsome visage.

I made plans with Jiao Jiao to celebrate the New Year together, but the specific program has not yet been decided

However, upon seeing the comments below, he suddenly became invigorated

What are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" shouted the voice on the other end of the line

Considering that Qin Zhan is a beginner and has a poor foundation, she decided to first teach him some basic techniques

Tong Yao looked at Qin Zhan strangely and asked, "Are you... hungry?"

While he was washing up, he thought it was Tong Yao, and in his panic, he almost tripped.

Qin Zhan laughed and said, "He cannot pronounce that syllable; I have corrected him for a long time"

In a short while, the dish will become fragrant

Ren Yue sighed twice and changed the subject: "Let's go, let's go, we will celebrate after the exam."

Qin Zhan, who had been rejected, felt somewhat awkward, but upon seeing the two of them so close, he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart: so this is what life is like for a family of three, warm, joyful, and sweet

The playground at around 7 or 8 o'clock is bustling with activity, with some people running, others playing ball, and couples enjoying each other's company.

Hello, cutie, what is your name

Ren Yue stood in place with a face full of astonishment, thinking: Is this madness?

Early on Christmas Day, Qin Zhan's phone rang

Many of the elderly gentlemen and ladies were veterans of the Long March, and this particular grandfather was a key member of the cultural troupe from back in the day. ... In the melody of the grandfather, there is a strength that has endured the trials of time and remains unyielding.

Ren Yue's heart inexplicably skipped a beat. He suppressed this inexplicable impulse and asked: "Do you have any plans for New Year's Day? Qin Zhan and I would like to invite you to travel to Thailand with us. Would you like to go?"

Qin Sicheng leaned over and murmured, "Is it traveling or moving? Nowadays, it is advocated to travel without burdens; the simpler, the better... Isn't it tiring to carry a bunch of things?"

Tong Yao, who was standing nearby, happened to take in all the details and couldn't help but murmur: "A box is only about ten pounds, right? ... As expected, still a 'weakling' ...

Uncle did not eat, he drank baby milk. Ye Ye frowned and looked at Qin Zhan, pressing his little finger against Qin Zhan's belly

After listening for a while, Tong Yao's shyness faded, and an expression of appreciation unconsciously appeared on her face, thinking to herself that the "romantic talent" indeed had some remarkable skills

Qin Zhan nodded and said solemnly: "From now on, I will run 8 kilometers every morning and evening, attend martial arts training at noon, eat only protein powder in the evening, and do 50 push-ups and 50 sit-ups. You are responsible for supervising me." After speaking, he went straight into the bathroom to wash up

This is precisely the charm of children, isn't it? Tong Yao said with a smile

Seeing that you are too busy to take care of your meals, this is not good for your stomach. Since I have nothing much to do, I prepared a few dishes. Qin Zhan did not explicitly state that they were made specifically for her

Qin Zhan expressed his innocence, having been wronged, and his knee was in great pain, so he made a face and sought help from his brother-in-law

Qin Zhan let out a soft "oh" and said leisurely, "Then I suppose that is my fault. However, if I tell you that in the Financial Engineering course, the paper we co-authored, to be precise, the paper I wrote, received first place in the class, would that make you feel a bit better?"

Tong Yao had already learned the news from Jiao Jiao, so seeing him was not surprising. She only asked with some confusion: "You have already experienced the physical training before, and the current training will only be more intense. Are you sure you want to participate in the training?"

Qin Zhan supported his waist, feeling distressed alone: "It's over, I've been underestimated again... The road of love is long and arduous"

Seeing his friend's worries, Ren Yue encouraged him: "Practice, what could possibly challenge you, this great talent!"

He chuckled softly and then handed Tong Yao a cup of warm water, saying, "Have a sip of water, don't tire yourself out." As he spoke, he casually took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the beads of sweat from Tong Yao's face.

Having a girlfriend like this, what more could one ask for

At that moment, a rumbling sound suddenly echoed.

Clinging to the last glimmer of hope, Qin Zhan looked at Ren Yue and said, "Go ahead and tell me."

In the midst of his despair, he heard Qin Yue calling him: "You have three minutes to respond to me. Option one, agree; option two, super agree. Choose one."

"Is it really necessary to be so extravagant for a honeymoon?" Qin Zhan said helplessly

I brought you some delicious food—surely you can't keep being hungry? Hurry up

Grandma Chang, who had been watching the two of them, suddenly recalled something and smiled with satisfaction

Tong Yao shot him a glance and reached out to tease Ye Ye

She felt a mix of emotions and was hesitant to look at Ren Yue. After pondering for a moment, she brightened up again: "Alright, then it's settled joyfully. I will bring delicious food for Yao Yao"

Haha, are the young people nowadays so humble? Shall we have a friendly exchange?

Haha! It can do many things. You will understand when you grow up, but you cannot play with it now said Tong Yao with a hearty laugh

Tong Yao let out a mournful cry: "Research papers are so annoying... Come on, Little Spark, let's go study with Auntie." After saying this, she carried Ye Ye and walked to the study.

Ye Ye seems to be very fond of this magical thing called a computer, constantly leaning towards the screen

In fact, she is the true embodiment of the "warm man" archetype, Qin Zhan silently reflected

Tong Yao: "I hate... ... those who are still hungry and can't get a meal, I really want to hit someone." She added an envious expression at the end

Haha, good! Your uncle actually meant to say Huo Hua, right? That Huo Hua is very handsome and charming. Your uncle wants you to become a great handsome man in the future, doesn't he? Tong Yao looked at Ye Ye's feigned serious expression and couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Zhan reluctantly got out of bed, his eyes still half-closed, to check on Ye Ye—only to find that he had wet himself

"Delicious, I just love spicy food." Tong Yao said, opening her mouth and exhaling, while taking the fish soup with one hand

Ye Ye looked at the two people, nodding slightly like a little adult

Tong Yao helplessly asked: "Can you ... ... do it?"

Grandma Chang whispered to Tong Yao: "Grandma still says the same thing as before, when you meet the right one, you must seize the opportunity in a timely manner"

"Understanding without stating it explicitly, we are still good friends, aren't we, classmate?" Ren Yue chuckled, and the two of them walked towards the west gate together

Just as the meal was packed, the sound of a child's crying came through. Qin Zhan hurried into the nursery and saw that Ye Ye had already woken up, stretching out his chubby little arms wanting to be held

The elderly were reluctant to part ways, continuously praising the two of them: "You are both good children. As for Yaoyao, there is no need to mention her; as for Xiaozhan, he is talented in many areas and exceptionally handsome"

Qin Zhan looked at Tong Yao enjoying her food with tenderness and said with a smile, "Take your time eating, no one is competing with you." He then ladled another bowl of fish soup and handed it over, "It's very spicy, have some soup."

Tong Yao coughed a few more times, her face turning red: "Do not bully the baby just because she is small, you are speaking nonsense."

I did it," Qin Zhan said proudly

Qin Zhan was left speechless, once again deeply impressed.

Upon returning to the nursery, Ye Ye happened to open his eyes. Tong Yao happily said, "Little Spark, it's time to get up." She walked over and gently touched his little face, which felt really nice.

Qin Zhan listened expressionlessly to Qin Yue's instructions

Qin Zhan then entered with a dreamy expression on his face

Grandma Chang said: "Yao Yao, please perform a martial arts demonstration, Grandma hasn't seen one in a long time"

Qin Zhan picked up the bottle and prepared the milk powder for Ye Ye. Tong Yao took it over to check the temperature and placed the nipple in Ye Ye's small mouth. Upon seeing the food, Ye Ye immediately woke up and began to drink the milk earnestly

Qin Zhan immediately sent a WeChat message to Tong Yao: "Do you have any plans for New Year's Day? Would you like to go out and have some fun together?"

Qin Zhan followed closely, although he could barely kick his legs, he exerted tremendous effort to complete a single movement, yet he remained full of confidence. After all, the day he developed his abdominal muscles would also be the day he confessed to the goddess. No, perhaps it would be even sooner—the goddess might be moved by his sincerity and take the initiative to embrace him.

"Ye Ye just cried a moment ago..." Qin Zhan explained

Once seated, Qin Zhan took out the dishes, and Tong Yao couldn't help but drool at the sight: fragrant spicy chicken, milky white crucian carp soup, and vibrant green broccoli

As the New Year's Day holiday approached, Qin Zhan returned home early that day and, upon entering the living room, saw that the room was filled with large and small packages.

Qin Zhan smiled faintly and said, "If you want to be bearish, then be bearish; it all falls within the same range. Why aren't you studying properly? What are you thinking?"

"How can you write a thesis like this?" Qin Zhan frowned and said, "Ye Ye, be good, uncle will hug you."

The next day at noon during training, Qin Zhan saw Tong Yao in the classroom

Tong Yao tapped on the table: "Alright, stop messing around and focus on your studies. Little Spark, be good and don't follow your bad uncle's example." As she spoke, she held the child in her arms and began to type away on the keyboard.

Ren Yue: "I am looking forward to becoming a 'useless dog' after exercising..."

"Isn't this about letting you develop freely!" Ren Yue raised his beer and took a sip, wearing a mischievous smile. Just as he was waiting to see Qin Zhan's expression change, he added, "You treat this meal, and I'll think of some more plans for you"

Ye Ye seems to have understood and is researching the pronunciation of "Hua Hua" by himself

That would not be good... How about I help you look up some information?

Having ordered the dishes, Ren Yue noticed Qin Zhan lost in thought, as if pondering something, and playfully asked: "What’s the matter? How many stages have you progressed with the goddess?"

"Washing my face..." Qin Zhan moved the phone away from his ear, his face contorted in pain

Of course not. Ye Ye understands, doesn't she?" Qin Zhan pinched Ye Ye's rosy little face

Then... let's just take a break and work a little overtime tonight, " Tong Yao replied nonchalantly

Bored to death, Qin Zhan began scrolling through his Moments and saw a photo of Ren Yue and Jiao Jiao in Thailand, snorting softly: "Showing off..."

What happened? Didn't we agree yesterday that I would help you take care of Ye Ye?" Tong Yao indicated the bag of food she was holding, and as he turned to the side, she slipped into the house

A slight disagreement can lead to madness

Qin Zhan's face turned red as he argued, "How can that be acceptable? How can we let a girl do the lifting? I was just testing my strength a moment ago"

If it were not for his lack of physical strength, he would certainly rise up and take action

Tong Yao had just taken a sip of water when she heard these words, and immediately sprayed it out, coughing incessantly

From their first meeting, he was labeled a "homebody" by Tong Yao, a far cry from the muscular men who were leagues ahead of him.

"Then... how about I help you look at it when I have some free time?" Tong Yao hesitated for a moment before speaking. After all, one is soft-hearted when receiving favors and indebted to others. Moreover, she actually quite liked Ye Ye.

After finishing his meal, Qin Zhan returned to school

Upon arriving downstairs, Tong Yao saw Qin Zhan holding a lunchbox in one hand and cradling a child in the other, resembling a father bringing his child to find the mother. Tong Yao hesitated for a moment: "What is this?"

Ye Ye shook his head and quickly hugged Tong Yao's neck tightly

Ye Ye pressed her little mouth against Qin Zhan's face and nodded, saying: "I miss you, Uncle. Do you have any gifts?"

Burning the bridge after crossing it, killing the donkey after it has finished grinding, truly ungrateful... What happened to the promise of treating us? In the end, they just ran away without a word

She gently stroked his round little head and explained, "Because you are still small, this is for adults to use for work"

For the first time experiencing such intimate contact with the opposite sex, she did not know how to react, merely allowing Qin Zhan's hand to wipe across her face, feeling his breath drawing ever closer.

After showcasing his muscles, Qin Zhan assumed a horse stance, bent down, and firmly grasped the box with both hands. However, when he attempted to rise, he was unable to do so, and the apple box, which was only a few centimeters off the ground, fell heavily back down.

Xujiao Jiao: "No wonder Qin Zhan once said that someone has been bad since childhood."

"Grandfather holds the younger generation in such high regard, please bestow your teachings." With that, Qin Zhan assisted his grandfather in sitting down and handed over the erhu with both hands.

Next time, I will definitely change! In front of Sister Qin, one must obey unconditionally and without reason; otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable

Ren Yue, who was naturally familiar with his every move, asked in surprise: "What were you just about to do? Were you thinking of making a move? A gentleman speaks but does not act with his hands, I say... you cannot adopt her faults just because you have been with the goddess for too long..."

Tong Yao was momentarily taken aback

Qin Zhan gently placed Ye Ye on the bed, tucked in the blanket, and then left the room

Xu Jiao Jiao: "So romantic! This feeling can be awaited!"

He ran all the way to the pharmacy near the school, bought two cans of protein powder, carried them back to the dormitory, changed into sportswear and sneakers, and walked towards the playground

As soon as the bell signaling the end of the exam rang, Ren Yue ran over to Qin Zhan with a face full of grievance and complained, "I am so frustrated. It was supposed to be an exam on call options, but it turned into one on put options."

After finishing his milk, Ye Ye shouted for Tong Yao to give him a hug. Tong Yao, full of childlike joy, lifted him high with one hand.

This is truly a colossal misunderstanding! Ren Yue knows that such matters will only exacerbate the situation.

Xu Jiao Jiao felt a mix of surprise, joy, and sorrow in her heart. Being able to travel alone with Ren Yue was certainly something she had longed for, but did her thoughts align with those of Ren Yue?

Qin Zhan tossed and turned, unable to sleep until the late hours of the night

Looking at Ren Yue's infuriating expression, Qin Zhan truly wanted to give him a beating, but unfortunately, their strengths were comparable, and the odds of victory were slim

Qin Zhan greeted and prepared to pick up his nephew, but he couldn't lift him—his waist had not yet fully recovered. He awkwardly patted the little boy's head and asked, "Xiao Ye Ye, have you missed your uncle?"

Tong Yao is rarely so considerate: "The bus is too warm, and the air is not very good, I am also feeling sleepy..." After saying this, she closed her eyes first

My name is Qin Yeyue, and my uncle says that 'Yeyue' means spark, so you can also call me Spark. Yeyue said earnestly

"What era is it, still playing with autocracy?" Qin Zhan said with dissatisfaction, this old trick really never gets old for my sister.

The moment Tong Yao saw Qin Zhan downstairs in the dormitory building, the fluttering in her heart did not cease. A tall young man, holding a child and carrying a lunchbox, exuded an indescribable sense of harmony that evoked thoughts of home and warmth, making her suddenly feel that this winter was not so cold after all

At the dining table, Qin Yue was serving food to Qin Zhan while saying: "New Year's Day is approaching, and I have booked tickets for the day after tomorrow to fly to New Zealand with your sister's husband, planning to make up for our honeymoon. Mom and Dad happen to be abroad and can't come back, so I need you to help me look after Ye Ye for a few days"

The two men fell silent. Qin Zhan glanced at Qin Sicheng, his eyes revealing a hint of sympathy, but more so envy: Would Tong Yao also do these trivial things for me?

Qin Zhan was contemplating how to decline when suddenly he received a WeChat notification on his phone. After opening it and reading, he appeared dejected.

As the exam week begins, the first exam is the most challenging one in financial engineering. Do not be deceived by Teacher Li's naturally serene expression, always smiling; when it comes to testing people, he is utterly unyielding.

Ren Yue, with a natural demeanor, said with a dry laugh: "My girlfriends would definitely not have such demands. I think I will pass on this... But you, isn't it just a few muscles? For the goddess, it's worth a shot."

Ren Yue was taken aback and quickly shouted: "Don't go! You haven't paid yet! We agreed that you would treat! Pay before you leave!"

"Ren Yue, what are you daydreaming about?" Jiao Jiao called out happily from a distance as she saw him

Qin Zhan shot him a glance and sighed, "I thought I was still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth, but unexpectedly my waist does not agree, and it just gives out at the slightest disagreement..."

Qin Zhan cast him a displeased glance and said, "This kind of news only needs to be spread once; you two can entertain yourselves."

Children are indeed strange creatures; as soon as Ye Ye was in Qin Zhan's embrace, he instantly stopped crying and broke into a smile, even stretching his little body and clinging to Qin Zhan's neck without letting go

Tong Yao looked at Ye Ye's serious little expression and found that it bore a striking resemblance to Qin Zhan, almost seven parts alike

Qin Zhan, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, pulled the blanket over Ren Yue and said: "Sleep!"

Due to the approaching Christmas, the association purchased several boxes of Red Fuji apples to give to the grandparents

It is rare to see Qin Zhan at a disadvantage, and Ren Yue laughed heartily, deliberately avoiding the topic. He first took a few bites of the chicken wings and then said: "I haven't been here in a long time, their chicken wings are getting better and better, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and juicy. It seems I will have to come here more often in the future"

Fortunately, he still had a backup plan

Qin Zhan pinched his cheek and said, "Little rascal." He took out the Transformer that he had prepared earlier from his bag and said, "Uncle's favorite toy. Look, it can transform!"

Qin Zhan boldly gazed at her sleeping face, secretly delighted, and soon fell asleep as well

It can make sounds and it can move

Upon hearing these words, Qin Zhan immediately wilted.

"What is it? So mysterious..." Tong Yao expressed a hint of impatience

"How can you still pack things up like this?" Ren Yue said in surprise

Tong Yao laughed heartily

Tong Yao readily agreed and spontaneously performed a segment of martial arts, executing palm strikes, hook hands, and thrust punches in one smooth motion, with fluid and powerful movements, all in one breath

Having eaten and drunk to her fill, Tong Yao rubbed her belly, her face radiating satisfaction and happiness. She asked Qin Zhan, "What made you think of bringing me food?"

Act quickly, pick up the pace. At such a young age, how can you be so slow in getting things done?

The two individuals arrived at the restaurant and took out the soy milk, fried dough sticks, and sandwiches from their bags

"Fortunately, our family has good genes." Qin Zhan said proudly

Tong Yao silently glanced at him, without saying a word

Qin Sicheng received Qin Zhan's "signal" and quickly changed the subject: "Let's eat, the food will get cold if we wait any longer."

What a lovely baby! she exclaimed

In the evening, when Qin Zhan returned home, a table full of dishes was already set. Qin Yue and Qin Sicheng were playing with their precious son.

Qin Yue cast him a glance and said, "I am willing. Usually, it is I, your aunt, who serves you. I haven't complained of fatigue, yet you are already tired?"

Tong Yao nodded, her expression about to soften, when she heard Qin Zhan say again: "I should have chosen to speak when you hadn't had any water."

Qin Yue, however, became spirited: "It's almost 20, and the boys from other families have had girlfriends in single digits, like that kid from the Ren family..."

Tong Yao had never imagined that the rumored "romantic talent" could have such a side, truly an eye-opener. She clapped along with the elders, laughing heartily

The sweet dream was interrupted, and Qin Zhan covered his ears with a pillow, unwilling to move

Qin Zhan dressed up as Santa Claus, going from one grandparent to another to deliver gifts: "Wishing Grandpa and Grandma a Merry Christmas! May you be healthy and live a long and happy life!" He also occasionally made funny gestures, making the elderly laugh heartily

Qin Zhan sincerely apologized: "It is my fault ... ... "

Tong Yao said nothing, effortlessly carrying the boxes, and walked straight into the nursing home

Ah! Qin Zhan cried out, "How ruthless you are... But who told me to like you, sigh!"

Qin Sicheng argued: "Hey, boys like it all."

Tong Yao nodded

Tong Yao seemed to sense something, glancing at Grandma Chao for a moment, feeling a bit shy. Just as she was unsure of what to do, she heard Qin Zhan say: "Is there still an erhu here, Grandpa?" He borrowed the erhu, sat in the middle of the courtyard, and began to play "Qin Si".

No matter how much Ren Yue spoke, Qin Zhan pretended not to hear.

Qin Zhan helped to load each suitcase onto the car, and then saw off his sister and brother-in-law

He sauntered back to the dormitory, encountering Ren Yue, who had been waiting for him for a long time, with an expression full of anger

Qin Yue laughed heartily and said, "They say that nephews resemble their uncles. Our Ye Ye must not grow up to be like you, unable to carry or lift anything, still clinging to toys at this age."

Qin Zhan immediately became serious and began to search for information

Tong Yao chuckled and said, "Who gave you that name? Why is it Spark?"

Arriving at the girls' dormitory, Qin Zhan called Tong Yao: "Come down for a moment, I am waiting for you downstairs"

Having spent a long time together, Xu Jiaojiao naturally knew that his true nature was good, though he was accustomed to being glib. However, despite her understanding, she could not help but blush.

Uh... just now there was a lot of crying and fussing, and now they've fallen asleep so quickly..." Qin Zhan was speechless

It is already this late and we haven't eaten, how can that be acceptable? Qin Zhan thought to himself, suddenly struck with inspiration—an idea for a romantic game strategy—culinary skills.

My sister and brother-in-law will not return until after the New Year, so I have to look after this little rascal for the next few days. For heaven's sake, how could I possibly take care of a child

Qin Zhan snatched the chicken wings from Ren Yue's hand and said, "Stop dawdling, eat after you finish talking"

Jiao Jiao cheered, "Great, that's wonderful! I haven't gone out to play in a long time! But..." She frowned, "Yao Yao plans to graduate early and has to write her thesis during the holiday."

Ye Ye happily nodded his head

Where to go

The elderly men and women all applauded and cheered for Qin Zhan. An old gentleman remarked, "Young man, you have quite a solid foundation."

Even though her heart was filled with deeper emotions, Tong Yao looked at the empty plates on the table and still wanted to cover her face and sigh deeply. She glanced at Qin Zhan, whose head was already lowered, called the waiter, and ordered a few more servings of snacks.

Wuwu... Ye Ye frowned, unwilling to wake up

Qin Zhan hurriedly changed Ye Ye into clean clothes, and just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the doorbell rang again

Happy times always pass quickly, and as the sky began to darken, Tong Yao and Qin Zhan bid farewell to the elderly.

Qin Zhan nodded with joy. Happiness came so suddenly that he was at a loss for words

Fortunately, Qin Zhan soon woke up, became aware of his "shy demeanor," and did not dare to sleep again

After giving their instructions to Qin Zhan, the Qin Yue couple was ready to head to the airport

Ren Yue arrived at the girls' dormitory building and saw Jiao Jiao coming out while holding her phone.

The melody is smooth and beautiful, flowing gently and gracefully, sometimes resounding powerfully, and at other times soft and delicate, captivating the listener. "Lost in intoxication, unaware of the way home" is probably what it feels like

Qin Zhan said without a second thought: "It's easy to say, shall we go together?"

Exactly, four people are traveling together

Ren Yue pretended to be serious and lowered his voice: "Let us observe a moment of silence for one minute... Good things take time."

As they spoke, night had already fallen. Qin Zhan, holding Ye Ye, sent Tong Yao to the dormitory building, left the home address, and then returned home

Ren Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" and decisively flattered, "I am so happy, great deity, take me along to soar! Great deity, you aren't going out to exercise late at night, are you? Look at all this sweat..."

Qin Zhan inwardly lamented, forcing himself to suppress his drowsiness as he said: "No, I am not sleepy..."

However, Qin Zhan has already disappeared from sight, and what responds to Ren Yue is the curious and peering crowd of gossipers, along with the waitstaff who are quietly approaching.

Qin Zhan laughed heartily

Tong Yao patted his shoulder, causing him to stumble slightly. Qin Zhan's face turned red, and Tong Yao suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, trying to cover it up by saying: "Then let's get started"

"Which restaurant is this from? The taste is quite good," Tong Yao exclaimed as she tasted the spicy chicken.

Are you going to keep an eye on Ye Ye these days?" Tong Yao asked Qin Zhan

"I don't know how many girls I will captivate when I grow up," Qin Zhan said with a smile

Qin Zhan glared at Ren Yue and disdainfully said, "Only a fool would believe that!"

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Ren Yue came over, somewhat gleefully saying: "I heard that the goddess is going to write a thesis during the holiday"

Isn't there still you? Qin Zhan revealed a classic Qin-style smile

When Qin Zhan met Tong Yao, he learned that the other three classmates could not go due to a last-minute schedule change by the teacher, turning the five-person trip into a romantic journey for just two. He couldn't help but feel a surge of delight in his heart, intending to joke around in the car to showcase his abilities. However, just a few minutes later, he became so sleepy that he could hardly keep his eyes open—he had woken up too early in the morning for the sake of training.

Qin Zhan said with a mischievous smile: "Regardless, I have a heart for martial arts. How about you become my teacher?"

As they were speaking, the grilled wings were served first. Qin Zhan casually picked one up and took a bite

Turning her head, Ren Yue shared today's astonishing news with Xu Jiao Jiao: "A thousand-year-old iron tree blooms in a day, an extraordinary event, initiating a body sculpting plan for love"

He hurriedly ran to open the door and, upon seeing Tong Yao shivering outside, momentarily doubted whether he was dreaming

At this moment, the sound of a child crying came from next door

Come back for dinner tonight, I have something to tell you. Be home by 6 o'clock sharp. Without waiting for Qin Zhan to respond, Qin Yue had already hung up the phone

Ye Ye exclaimed joyfully: "I am so happy! My favorite! Uncle is so wonderful!"

"Look, you are so impatient! Haste makes waste," Ren Yue exclaimed helplessly, then added, "I remember Jiao Jiao mentioned that there is an event at the nursing home today. Can you still go?"

Ye Ye was blinking her big eyes at Tong Yao, giggling with a smile

"Let's eat first, it's almost getting cold," Qin Zhan said

"It is done, Qin Zhan's wish will be unfulfilled." Ren Yue instead felt happy, "That just leaves the two of us."

Due to concerns for Ye Ye, the two quickly finished their meal

After tidying up, Qin Yue called Qin Zhan to the nursery and reminded him: "You need to take good care of the baby these days." She pointed to the baby supplies on the table and instructed one by one, "This is the baby bottle; feed the baby once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening. Each time, first pour in 220 milliliters of warm water at 37 degrees Celsius, then add 8 level scoops of formula, shake it well, and it is ready to feed—remember to wash your hands before preparing the formula. Every night, you need to give Ye Ye a bath; the water temperature should be between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius, and the body wash is in the bathroom. This is the moisturizer; after the bath, remember to apply it to Ye Ye..."

Qin Zhan glanced at Ren Yue and said with utmost seriousness: "There is a type of person known as a dog-headed strategist, who promises to offer advice and strategies, but as soon as they turn around, they vanish without a trace"

Tong Yao was astonished: "You are using his formula milk?"

"It is merely a bit of hardship. Learning a bit more martial arts to strengthen the body is always beneficial," Qin Zhan said with a smile

As Qin Zhan fixed his gaze on her, he naturally did not miss the blush on Tong Yao's face. Looking at Tong Yao's fair and rosy complexion, her lovely red lips, and the perfect contour of her lips, he was already entranced, longing to take a bite.

Tong Yao listened to Grandma Chang's words, a blush rising to her face. She wanted to explain, yet felt that this sensation was rather pleasant.

Of course, consider it a token of my gratitude for the meal you prepared today. Besides, with someone as adorable as Ye Ye, who knows what kind of treatment she might receive in the hands of a boy like you

What a blessing in disguise! Qin Zhan exclaimed, "Really?"

"You can't be that desperate, can you? Oh, hungry..." Ren Yue looked at Qin Zhan's increasingly profound eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She said with a serious expression, "I only heard that Tong Yao's 'ideal type' is a muscular man, the kind with six-pack abs."

Grandfather has overpraised me. When I was in middle school, I became interested and practiced for a few years, but I am far inferior compared to my grandfathers
