Chapter 5: The Wisdom of Fatherhood

Moreover, even a socialite with a silver tongue cannot possibly entertain a child for an entire day solely with words

Dad! I also want to go to the amusement park!

If one cannot control watching television at home, why not go out to play instead

He broke out in a cold sweat, narrowly avoiding a hit; otherwise, he would have faced certain death.

Fortunately, Xinxin has developed good habits at the child's mother's house; washing her face and brushing her teeth goes quite smoothly, which has not caused Shen Chong much concern

Apart from sending her daughter to extracurricular classes, Lin Zhishu can only let her daughter stay alone with the television at home

Shen Chong's mind instantly cleared; he opened his eyes to see his precious daughter poking her nose with a feather she had picked up from somewhere, while his hand was precariously hovering above her head

Xinxin readily agreed

He is not good at socializing with others, and he has no experience in taking care of children, so he has no idea how to speak in a way that would please them

Let us go

Looking at her squinting eyes, it seems she might be experiencing some degree of pseudomyopia

There are still five minutes left until the promised time to watch television, but Xinxin no longer wants to watch. Upon hearing that they can really go out to play, she immediately jumped onto Shen Chong's back, shouting excitedly.

Continuing to let the child watch television, Shen Chong sat nearby deep in thought, searching for a way to break the deadlock, but despite his best efforts, he could not come up with a good idea.

However, this warmth did not last long. After finishing breakfast, which was just as difficult as last night, Xin Xin wanted to watch television again, and Shen Chong began to have a headache.

Dad's clothes will pill, and that is because they are all low-quality down jackets, filled with duck down that has quills. What you are wearing is all high-end, fully down!

In fact, the place here is small, and there are no toys; apart from watching television, there are indeed no entertainment options available.

Lago

But you really cannot continue looking; if you keep looking, your eyes will go blind.

He embraced his daughter, feeling that all the hardships of the morning were worth it for this moment alone

Then can I have another twenty minutes, please? Fifteen minutes?

Xinxin, shall we not watch television anymore? How about Dad teaches you how to draw?

Shen Chong covers his face, "Are you sure you are complimenting me, my dear?"

A tingling and itchy sensation in his nose made Shen Chong, who was feeling dazed, unable to hold back and suddenly let out a loud sneeze

Oh yes

He tried to find some activities to distract his daughter, such as chatting with her and telling her stories, but he struggled for less than an hour

Shen Chong, exhausted, squatted by the bedside, gazing at his daughter whose face still bore traces of tears, feeling deeply moved

Superman Dad was once again brought to tears by his own foolishness after ten minutes

In a daze, he did not realize when his daughter had already stretched out her sleeve to wipe his cheek.

It feels quite good

Additionally, there is another set of changeable clothes, as well as... a set of pajamas that Xin Xin should have changed into before going to bed

Inside, there are neatly arranged electric toothbrushes, milk powder, water cups, baby bottles, commonly used children's medicine, children's cream, shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, and other items

Shen Chong looked up and saw Big Head Dad leading Little Head Son into an amusement park

However, she had already watched for a long time yesterday. Shen Chong insisted that he did not want her to spend another whole day in front of the television, as her eyes were almost becoming foggy.

Children inherently possess a playful nature; during the process of changing clothes, the daughter was incessantly restless. Shen Chong, reluctant to scold her, found himself quite exhausted from the ordeal

Shen Chong gasped, oh my little cotton-padded jacket!

But just as his hand had swung halfway, it suddenly came to a halt, as the sound of giggling echoed in his ears

It is all because of Xin Xin, Dad, you are tired. Next time I will be braver, I will not cry easily.

He sat up straight with a cheerful smile, turned around to embrace his daughter, and said, "Xinxin, you are really mischievous. Where did you find that feather?"

It was, instead, his daughter watching television who saved him

This one point two meter bed is a bit small

In the end, Shen Chong himself had no firm stance, but he secretly resolved that he absolutely could not waver any longer

Shen Chongzuo tried every possible way to comfort her, but to no avail. Suddenly, he had a clever idea and made a funny face, which finally made his daughter stop crying and smile. He himself was exhausted and drenched in sweat.

This habit is somewhat poor

The outcome was still a mess. While Shen Chong was preparing breakfast, he let her play on the bed by herself. She jumped around and fell to the floor. Although she wasn't hurt, she cried very sadly.

My mother never cares about me watching television

Suddenly, Xin Xin tugged at Shen Chong's sleeve and pointed at the television.

Oh dear, I am even inferior to my daughter!

Get up! Dad, hurry up and get out of bed! Lazy Dad!

Shen Chongyi slapped his forehead, truly making himself feel foolish to the point of bleeding from his face

Shen Chong was almost hanging half of his body over the edge of the bed, fearing that he might accidentally roll over and crush his precious daughter

Well, I can really only watch for another fifteen minutes. I am keeping an eye on the time, and I will turn off the television as soon as the time is up, alright

Then let's make a pinky promise

At the same time, his hand was also impatiently pushing aside with force, which is a subconscious action of a person in a state of sleep

Shen Chong then hurriedly helped Xin Xin change her clothes

Xinxin pouted her lips, looking as if she was about to cry. Perhaps she still remembered the promise made earlier, forcing herself to hold back, feeling quite wronged.

But early the next morning, his happiness was shattered by another kind of happiness

This is actually a very simple wisdom of being a father, yet he is completely unaware of it

Shen Chong sighed, knowing that he had no grounds to blame Lin Zhishu.

He finally remembered to open and take a look at the suitcase left by Jiang Yu

While carefully changing his daughter's pajamas, Shen Chong couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed a novice as a stay-at-home dad, encountering challenges along the way

As a homebody, sleeping in is simply an instinct ingrained in my very bones, one of the most important sources of happiness in life, especially when I have not slept well.

Oh yes! Dad is awake!

How foolish can I be

This is only his first morning taking care of his daughter; God knows how other parents in the world manage to endure until their children grow up and become sensible

Given the situation of the child's mother, it is understandable that she is busy with work. Even after returning home, she has to handle official duties and does not have time to spend with her daughter. She probably does not have much understanding of how to take care of a child

Father, you are sweating; let me wipe your sweat

After tidying up briefly, Shen Chong packed a kettle of water into his travel bag, along with a cup and a towel, and the father and daughter set out in a carefree manner.

An hour ago, you said you would only watch for twenty minutes

As a result, he hardly slept well the entire night, dozing off in a daze for a while, either hanging completely off the bed and waking up in fright just before falling, or scaring himself awake for no reason, suddenly opening his eyes in fear of crushing his daughter

By the time he finally lay down on the bed, it was nearly twelve o'clock, and the first day of being a father had passed without any surprises or dangers

Isn't the idea already here?

When Xin Xin behaves well, she is quite endearing, but when she is willful, she can be quite difficult to deal with. Lin Zhi Shu's approach to her is problematic

He is even more excited than his daughter

Even if adults can persevere, children will still find it tiresome; only the ever-changing, colorful cartoons on television remain the eternal theme

Xinxin first threw away the feather and cheered, then pointed at Shen Chong's poor-quality down jacket on the chair beside her, saying, "The feathers came out from Dad's clothes. Dad's clothes are really impressive; neither mine nor Mom's clothes have ever had any fluff."

Good

No, Dad, I want to watch television. There are no watercolor pens here, and there is no crystal mud, so I can't draw.
