Not a god

Chapter 220 Days Without Adults

This period has indeed been busy. Compared to other competitions, the number of participants and the scale of the competition are far less grand than those in Jiangcheng. This is the first time the Youth Federation has held such an event, and almost all the processes and affairs of the venue have been handled by Chen Xi.

After a busy day, Chen Xi still had to have dinner with her superiors and sponsors in the evening. These past few days, she had been wanting to learn the forbidden technique of "One Qi Transforms into Three Jiangs" from Jiang Wanwan.

Because she didn't have time to cook, and to prevent her child from starving, Chen Xi had been transferring money directly to Jiang Wanwan for the past few days. When she came back tonight, there were fries, snacks, milk tea... and the takeout from lunchtime was still in the trash can, and the refrigerator was full of cola.

"You guys are living quite comfortably, huh? Tell me, how many McDonald's meals have you had these past few days?"

Jiang Wanwan shrank back, but she decided to strike first, clutching her chest and speaking in a childish, irritating tone:

"How can life be carefree without my brother's company? How do you even see me as your sister's wife?!"

Chen Xi reached out and gave her a light tap on the head.

Looking down at Chen Yi again, she looked like a child running around in the countryside, covered in dirt, with her hair tied in a messy braid, and her face smeared with dirt, turning her small face into a big mess.

Holding French fries in her hand, she awkwardly put them into her mouth. Seeing her father watching her, she looked down at the fries in her hand and very sensibly offered them to him, saying, "Dad, eat!"

Although he looked dirty, he was full of energy, and his little face still exuded the composure of a strong person.

Her little belly was round and chubby, which meant she had eaten a lot of random things these past few days.

Chen Xi reached out and poked her belly with his finger, but she covered her belly to prevent her father from poking it, and then ran away.

But running away was useless. The little guy was eventually caught by his father, who then took him to the bathroom and scrubbed his entire body vigorously for twenty minutes.

When she came out of the bathroom, she looked dazed, but then she transformed back into a clean, fragrant, and well-behaved girl.

He tidied up the messy room and then dragged Jiang Yan over to check her recent homework.

She was in pain.

Chen Xi told her that suffering is right, and comfort is for the dead.

"I'm not going to take the college entrance exam."

She said this suddenly.

"You wouldn't have been able to take the exam anyway."

"Then what's the point of me studying?"

"Be a cultured person."

"I can live without culture."

Chen Xi didn't necessarily want to teach her to read and write; if it were someone unrelated, he wouldn't bother with it.

"Think about it, in a few years, Xiao Chenyi will grow up. She'll become more and more like you now. Then she'll know that you are the person you were before you were reborn, but she's different from you. She can read and write and is educated, while you are illiterate..."

Time flies. Chen Yi looks almost completely different now than when he first brought her home to raise. In a few more years, she will grow up quickly, and he will definitely have to teach her her homework then.

And this larger version of Yiyi is perfect for him to practice with.

"...Wait for me to go get an ice cream from the fridge."

What do you need the ice cream for?

"I want to learn while I eat."

This is a bad habit, but Chen Xi believes that education should be tailored to individual needs, and children should be allowed to eat what they like.

Jiang Yan also likes to bite the end of her pen, which is a bad habit. She also can't sit still and likes to run to the toilet as soon as she opens a book, or go to get water to drink... She really has a lot of bad habits.

Chen Xi was already somewhat worried about Chen Yi's future academic performance.

When Jiang Xiaowan finished showering and came to sit in the living room, she became very diligent again. She didn't go to the toilet, didn't get water, and didn't even bite the pen stub much.

Jiang Xiaowan glanced at her and said calmly, "Why are you standing so close? Aren't you afraid of getting nearsighted?" Obviously, as a god, nearsightedness was completely nonexistent, but she still straightened her back without saying a word.

Chen Xi often listened to Chen Yi talk about her wildly imaginative dreams. Through the clues, she always felt a little strange. The truth she finally pieced together was that when she was four or five years old, there seemed to be a woman who took care of her and fed and clothed her.

And that woman was her mother. Of course, the mother Chen Yi was referring to was the current Jiang Wanwan.

Later, he asked Jiang Xiaowan, and she gave him a positive answer.

Moreover, when she first came to this world and saw Chen Yi, she already realized that Emperor Yan was that child from back then, but she never expected that child would become Emperor Yan later.

Jiang Wanwan, who was standing nearby, also said that she had recognized it earlier... Obviously, she hadn't recognized it earlier, but only realized it when Chen Xi and Jiang Xiaowan were discussing it.

It really is fate.

Chen Xi looked at Jiang Yan, who was sitting in the corner of the living room, engrossed in working on a second-grade math workbook at the study desk Chen Xi had bought. Chen Xi said:

"After you finish these two pages, I'll take you out to play tomorrow."

"Where to go?"

Chen Xi looked at Jiang Xiaowan and asked, "A new Sunac branch opened last year, haven't I taken you there yet?"

"Is it the one with a ski resort? I've seen it on WeChat Moments a few times."

Jiang Yan asked, "Ski resort? What's that?"

"It's a slope covered with snow, a place where you can skateboard down it."

"..." Just listening to it sounds so boring. We're not kids anymore, we can't just slide down from there and have fun.

There are many things about this era that she likes, as well as many things that seem inexplicable to Jiang Yan, but are found interesting by a lot of people.

"The ski resort is just one part; the main focus is on a theme park."

"Riding a roller coaster or something?"

"There are roller coasters too."

"I'm going."

"I'll take you there after you finish your homework."

Chen Xi looked at his phone for a while. There were still people working overtime in the work group. He replied to a few messages and then looked at the netizens who were making a big fuss about the version update to 3.0.

From 27 cities in the past to 108 cities now, the number of people online at the same time in China has exceeded 20 million. Even Chen Hongying and her friends back in their hometown have started playing.

However, there are fewer monsters there, and they respawn slowly. And since it's summer vacation now, she said in the family group chat that she wanted to come visit them.

Chen Xi refused outright.

But refusing is useless.

Chen Hongying: Can you get a few tickets to the quarterfinals?
Chen Xi: Can't get it
Chen Hongying: Get me a few.

Chen Xi: What do you need a few for?
Chen Hongying: I brought my friends along.
Chen Hongying: Of course I have to show off! I told them my brother is the director of the Youth Federation, but they didn't believe me!

Chen Xi: How many do you want?

Chen Hongying: Get me ten first!

Chen Xi: 4800 yuan

Chen Hongying: [I'll punch you!]
Chen Xi asked about the situation back home and her grandparents. The two siblings bickered for a few more minutes, then Chen Xi put her phone aside and prepared to put the children to sleep.
