In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 209: Then I Won’t Go to Kindergarten Anymore

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Then I Won’t Go to Kindergarten Anymore

Three months later.

When Xie Yanchuan woke up, he first took a deep breath, gradually regaining consciousness, then slightly lowered his head to see Xu Jinzhi completely nestled in his arms.

Almost subconsciously, a smile formed on his lips—it seemed merely seeing Xu Jinzhi was enough to make him happy.

But after a short while, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t help but frown, as the hand underneath Xu Jinzhi had started to go numb.

Carefully, Xie Yanchuan pulled his hand out and it took him a while to recover from the numbness.

Looking at Xu Jinzhi again, she was still in deep sleep, showing no signs of waking up.

Unable to resist, Xie Yanchuan smiled again, tiptoed out of the bed, and carefully covered Xu Jinzhi with the blanket once more.

After covering her up, Xie Yanchuan stared at Xu Jinzhi and couldn’t help but lean in to kiss her forehead before he left the room, content.

Exiting the bedroom, Xie Yanchuan saw that the door to the children’s room was open and the maid was cleaning inside—he knew Tuantuan must have already gotten up.

Descending from the upstairs, he immediately saw Tuantuan playing with building blocks; Xie Yanchuan went over to greet him.

After saying hello, Xie Yanchuan said to Tuantuan, "Let’s go, have breakfast first, and then you can play afterward."

"Where are mom and sister?" Tuantuan didn’t agree immediately but asked about Xu Jinzhi instead.

Xie Yanchuan explained, "Today is New Year’s Day, mom doesn’t have to go to work, and she’ll get up later; let’s go eat first."

"Oh," Tuantuan understood.

He knew that they only ate breakfast together when mom had to go to work; otherwise, she would sleep in.

No, not sleeping in, as dad said, it was because mom worked so hard, and normally she got up because she had to go to work. Only when she wasn’t working could she rest a bit longer.

So, the father and son went to the dining room to have breakfast first.

After eating, Tuantuan wanted to continue playing with the blocks, and Xie Yanchuan played with him for a while before asking, "Tuantuan, would you like dad to teach you how to count?"

Tuantuan shook his head, "No."

Xie Yanchuan always doted on Tuantuan greatly, and since Tuantuan was not the spoiled type, he was accustomed to asking Tuantuan first before doing anything.

Yet, surprised by Tuantuan’s direct refusal, Xie Yanchuan remained calm and gently asked, "Why?"

"I don’t like counting." Tuantuan straightforwardly voiced his thoughts.

There wasn’t any particular reason; he simply didn’t like it.

"What do you like, then?" Xie Yanchuan asked.

"I like building blocks," Tuantuan looked up at his dad, blinking earnestly.

In fact, Tuantuan wasn’t playing with blocks at that moment but rather with Legos.

When Tuantuan was even younger, he couldn’t play with such Legos, and there was also a concern that he might put such small pieces in his mouth, so he played with large, solid wooden blocks.

Eventually, he progressed to more complex blocks, and now, Tuantuan could play with simple Legos by himself.

Tuantuan just couldn’t grasp the significance of LEGO; to him, they were all just building blocks.

Yanchuan was, for a moment, at a loss for words, now that Tuantuan had turned three.

Before, they had never thought about teaching him anything so early.

After all, Xu Jinzhi and Yanchuan believed that at this age, the most important thing was to develop good habits, like dressing oneself or the little knowledge of daily living such as eating.

Then there was the matter of his personality. Although Tuantuan liked quiet, he had always been a very polite child, never crying or fussing to get what he wanted, always treating others respectfully.

Yanchuan was very satisfied with this, although he had never thought of controlling Tuantuan’s personality or even deciding his future, it was essential for Tuantuan to be honest and kind.

Even if he couldn’t become a person of use to society when he grew up, he absolutely could not become a bad person.

It was just that Yanchuan had recently thought about Tuantuan starting kindergarten in the latter half of the year, which is why he wanted to teach him some knowledge in advance.

He just hadn’t expected Tuantuan to reject the idea so outright.

After a brief silence, Yanchuan continued, "But you’ll be going to kindergarten later this year, what will you do if you can’t count?"

"Do they make you count in kindergarten?" Tuantuan looked at Yanchuan with a puzzled face, completely unaware of what kindergarten was about.

Of course, Yanchuan knew that today’s kindergartens were not just for children to play, and the famous private kindergarten they had chosen was certainly not a place to merely play around.

Thus, Yanchuan nodded and explained to Tuantuan what he would be learning in kindergarten.

At first, Tuantuan was puzzled, but after listening to his dad, his face became incredulous. After a moment of eye contact between father and son, Tuantuan said, "Then I don’t want to go to kindergarten."

Yanchuan was stunned; he had only intended to teach Tuantuan how to count, why did it turn out that now Tuantuan didn’t even want to go to kindergarten?

Had he said anything bad?

"Dad, do you think this looks good?" Tuantuan showed Yanchuan the little car he had assembled from tiny plastic parts.

After hesitating for a while, Yanchuan nodded, "It looks good."

Tuantuan smiled.

Yanchuan smiled too, but there was a worry at the back of his mind—Tuantuan seemed not to like learning at all.

Having failed to get Tuantuan to count, Yanchuan played with him for a while. Seeing that the time was almost nine and Xu Jinzhi still hadn’t come down, Yanchuan returned to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Xu Jinzhi was still sound asleep, showing no sign of waking up.

Yanchuan sat down by the bed and called softly, "Jinzhi, time to get up."

Xu Jinzhi did not respond, so Yanchuan had no choice but to nudge her, "Jinzhi."

Xu Jinzhi frowned, but that was the only response; she didn’t say anything else.

"Jinzhi, come have breakfast first. If you’re really sleepy, you can go back to sleep after," Yanchuan continued.

Xu Jinzhi was already frowning, and now she pouted, looking aggrieved as she spoke with a whimper in her voice, "I don’t want to get up!"

Yanchuan had never heard Xu Jinzhi speak to him in such a tone before, full of grievance and petulance.

Yanchuan simply couldn’t handle Xu Jinzhi like this. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

After a few seconds of silence, Yanchuan said with some difficulty, "How about I bring breakfast to the bedroom?"
