Time is the most unreasonable thing. Before Chen Zhi could even polish the crib railings, a year had flown by like water.

Today is Chen Zhi and Lin Wanwan's first birthday.

The two families discussed it and decided that since the two children were born on the same day, they might as well hold a lively first birthday celebration together.

The living room was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the walls were covered with bright red "福" (good fortune) characters. The air was filled with the aroma of braised pork and stewed ribs.

Chen Zhi, dressed in a festive red Tang suit and forced to wear a small hat embroidered with a tiger's head, sat listlessly on a thick wool carpet.

He felt that his current appearance resembled that of a mischievous child who had just come down from the mountain to spend money freely.

Next to him sat a little dumpling, also dressed in red.

Chen Zhi glanced at it sideways.

Lin Wanwan.

The wrinkled, red-faced little monkey that cried like an air raid siren a year ago is gone.

Instead, there was a delicately carved porcelain doll.

Her skin was so white it glowed, like a freshly peeled egg with a faint pink tinge. Her eyes were large and round, with pupils like two pools of clear water hidden in them, and her eyelashes were long like two small fans, fluttering so gently they made one's heart itch.

At this moment, the little girl was grinning at the adults around her, her mouth showing only a few tiny teeth.

The laughter was crisp and clear, like silver bells tinkling in the wind.

Chen Zhi felt somewhat resentful.

On what grounds?

We all grew up drinking baby formula, so how come this thing's appearance has evolved at a speed that's like it's been cheated?

He looked down at his chubby little hands. Although they were cute, compared to the future superstar next to him who seemed to have a soft-focus filter, they lacked a bit of "protagonist aura".

"That wretched Lin Wanwan."

Chen Zhi silently complained in his heart.

"This baby can barely speak, yet it's so cute! Is it trying to seduce someone so they can inherit my diapers?"

More and more guests gathered around, with aunts and uncles forming a circle, pointing and commenting on the two birthday celebrants on the carpet, showering them with flattering words.

"Wow, these two kids are really handsome!"

"Guifang, your son Xiaozhi has such a full forehead; he's definitely got the makings of an official!"

Zhang Guifang got a perm today, her face was covered in thick foundation, and she couldn't stop smiling.

"That's right! It doesn't even matter who gave birth to her! But Wanwan is still the prettiest; look at her little face, she'll definitely grow up to be a great beauty!"

Standing to the side, Lin Shuxian was dressed in a sharp suit. Although he had a humble smile on his face, his straight back and slightly raised chin revealed a sense of pride that "I am proud to have a daughter."

"Not at all, Xiao Zhi looks clever and will definitely amount to something in the future."

Lin Shuxian was polite in words, but his eyes never left his daughter, his gaze filled with such doting affection that it could melt your heart.

"Alright, alright, the auspicious time has arrived!"

Lin Jing's gentle voice interrupted the mutual flattery.

She smiled and placed a huge pile of things in the center of the red carpet.

The first birthday celebration, known as "Zhuazhou," officially began.

Drawing boards, books, violins, stethoscopes, abacuses, mice, seals... a whole variety of objects were arranged in a circle.

"Wanwan, please come first, ladies first."

Zhang Guifang waved generously.

Lin Wanwan seemed to understand. Her big eyes darted around, and then she crawled towards the pile of things using both her hands and feet.

Its movements were a bit clumsy, like a round little penguin.

All eyes were on her.

Lin Wanwan climbed up to the pile of things and first reached out her chubby little hand to touch the mini violin.

Lin Shuxian's eyes lit up.

"Artist! Good!"

As a result, Lin Wanwan only touched it once before pushing it away in disgust.

She picked up the book again.

Lin Jing smiled, pursing her lips.

"Looks like I need to become a scholar."

The next second, the book was thrown at Chen Zhi's feet.

Finally, Lin Wanwan's target was a small, golden microphone model.

She grabbed the microphone, held it above her head, waved her other hand in the air, made excited "ee-ya" sounds, and smiled so wide her eyes disappeared.

"Wow!"

A burst of applause erupted from the crowd.

"He grabbed the microphone! He's going to be a big star!"

"Still a TV host?"

"Judging from this, we'll definitely be seeing Wanwan on TV soon!"

Lin Shuxian beamed with joy, as if he could already see his daughter standing on the Grammy stage.

However, just when everyone thought the dust had settled.

Lin Wanwan suddenly stopped smiling, as if she had lost interest in the golden microphone.

She loosened her grip.

With a "click".

The microphone, representing a bright future, was ruthlessly abandoned on the carpet and rolled away.

The entire room fell silent for a second.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Wanwan changed direction.

Her bright, large eyes locked onto Chen Zhi, who was not far away.

Then, she quickened her crawling speed, using all four limbs, and charged straight at Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhizheng sat there watching the show, thinking to himself that this future big star really had a desire to perform from a young age.

Before he could react, a soft, milky-smelling object bumped into his arms.

Lin Wanwan grabbed Chen Zhi's arm and practically clung to him.

She tilted her head back, bringing her delicate, pretty face close to Chen Zhi's, her eyes sparkling as if they held the stars and the sea.

"I know...I know..."

She called out indistinctly, her voice as soft and sweet as cotton candy.

"Know! Know!"

Seemingly finding the pronunciation amusing, she shouted it several more times, smearing her saliva onto Chen Zhi's brand-new Tang suit as she did so.

Chen Zhi: "..."

The adults around were taken aback at first, then burst into even louder laughter.

"Oh my goodness! This child!"

Zhang Guifang laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and she slapped her thigh hard.

"This microphone doesn't need to be for big stars, it's just for our little Zhi!"

Lin Jing also covered her mouth and kept laughing.

"These two kids have a really good relationship. Wanwan usually won't let anyone else hold her; she just sticks to Xiaozhi."

The guests started making a ruckus.

"Childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree since childhood!"

"If they become in-laws in the future, that would be a truly wonderful story!"

Chen Zhi let Lin Wanwan hug him expressionlessly, but inwardly he was rolling his eyes wildly.

Good relationship my foot.

This girl is treating him like a giant doll.

Throughout the past year, whenever Lin Wanwan cried, the adults would put him next to her.

The moment he appears, the girl's mood instantly brightens.

Chen Zhi felt like a tool without human rights.

Just then, a familiar light blue semi-transparent panel suddenly popped up in Chen Zhi's field of vision.

The system, which had been silent for a year, is finally back.
