Nangong Yichen replied indifferently, "Not bad." Chu Lingfei smiled and gently stroked his head. Chu Junyu, however, laughed and said, "The girls here are all very pretty." Nangong Yehen raised an eyebrow at that. Could this kid be fond of pretty girls at such a young age? "Were the girls at your old school pretty too?" Chu Lingfei asked with a smile. "Pretty, but my new deskmate is even prettier," Chu Junyu said. Chu Lingfei took their backpacks. "Let's talk in the car." Chu Junyu's backpack was noticeably heavier than Nangong Yichen's. This kid, wherever he went, had plenty of girls giving him snacks. Once in the car with the door closed, Chu Lingfei asked knowingly, "Little Junyu, you and Yichen are in the same class, so why is your backpack heavier than his?" "It's full of snacks from the girls. Mom, there's even your favorite chocolate," Chu Junyu said with a grin. "All snacks? Let me see." Chu Lingfei unzipped the backpack and saw only two textbooks inside—the rest was all snacks! There were pistachios, almonds, sunflower seeds, low-sugar rice crackers, spicy ginger strips, chocolate... All kid-friendly snacks that weren't too expensive. "Little Junyu, on your very first day, you've already won over that many female classmates?" "No," Chu Junyu shook his head. "How not? The snacks are crammed full in your backpack." She'd even seen a few girls hovering around him earlier. Chu Junyu looked up, his eyes clear as he gazed at Chu Lingfei. "Mom, all those snacks are for the Little Old Man." Nangong Yehen heard this and instinctively glanced at the silent Nangong Yichen, a faint smile curling at the corner of his perfect lips. "All for Yichen?" Chu Lingfei was surprised, turning to Nangong Yichen. "Little treasure, all yours?" "No," Nangong Yichen said flatly. "If I didn't accept them, they're not mine." "Since you wouldn't take them, they all stuffed them into my backpack," Chu Junyu rubbed his little shoulder. "So heavy." "So it turns out our Yichen is the more popular one," Chu Lingfei said with a smile, looking at Nangong Yichen with eyes full of affection. "Didn't someone just say her kids were lively and adorable, popular wherever they go?" Nangong Yehen retorted sarcastically, forgetting— "Daddy, that's just how I am!" Chu Junyu glared at him indignantly. "I am lively and adorable, popular everywhere!" "With Yichen around, your presence fades a bit," Nangong Yehen said with a smirk. It turned out being with them could lift his spirits so easily. Huoluan, who was driving attentively, glanced at Nangong Yehen. It had been a long time since the master spoke in such a relaxed tone. "The Little Old Man is playing cool. If I played cool, I'd get even more girls to like me too." "Do the girls at your school all like cool little boys?" Chu Lingfei asked curiously. "No idea," Chu Junyu shook his head, glancing at Nangong Yichen. "Anyway, all the girls in the class like him. We look the same and are the same height. They originally liked me, but after I smiled once, they all switched to liking the Little Old Man." "Maybe your smile was especially ugly at that moment," Chu Lingfei teased. "..." Chu Junyu raised an eyebrow, speechless. Was his smile really that ugly? ... Along the way, they chatted and laughed, mostly with Chu Lingfei and Chu Junyu interacting, while Nangong Yehen chimed in occasionally. Even the usually cold and quiet Nangong Yichen was infected by the warm atmosphere, occasionally cracking a faint smile. Having Mom and Dad by his side felt... really good.
