He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

Chen Hao got up, left Lin Sisi's bedroom, and went to the bedroom that Lin Caiwei had arranged for him.

Lin Caiwei was very thoughtful; she had prepared several new outfits for him in the bedroom wardrobe in advance, ranging from underwear to outerwear, and the sizes were all suitable.

He took a set of gray loungewear and clean underwear and went into the bathroom.

I quickly took a hot shower to wash away the day's fatigue and the speck of dust from the work I had done earlier.

After changing into clean and soft loungewear, I felt refreshed.

Back in Sisi's bedroom, the little one was still lying there obediently, blinking her big eyes as she looked at the door.

"Dad! You're so fast!" She reached out her hand.

Chen Hao walked over and picked him up, blanket and all.

"Come on, let's sleep in Daddy's big bed."

He carried his daughter to the master bedroom, where the large bed was indeed much more spacious.

He placed Sisi in the middle of the bed, lay down beside her, and covered her with the blanket.

Sisi immediately snuggled up to him like a little koala, nestled into his arms, rested her head on his arm, and found the most comfortable position.

"Daddy, tell me a story," she said, tilting her little face up expectantly.

"Okay, tell me a story. But we agreed that we'd only tell one story tonight, and then you'd go to sleep obediently, okay?"

Chen Hao made a three-point agreement with his daughter.

"Okay! Pinky promise!" Lin Sisi held out her little finger.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now." Chen Hao smiled and made a pinky promise with her.

He began to conceive new stories from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

His mastery of literature skills allowed him to conceive ideas very quickly.

This time, he told the story of how Xiao Sisi and Wenyao came to a place called "Qigong Kingdom" (the Classic of Mountains and Seas records that "Qigong Kingdom is to the north, and its people have one arm and three eyes, with both yin and yang, and ride on patterned horses").

He adapted the story, saying that the people there only have one arm, but that arm is incredibly dexterous and can create all sorts of small, moving toys.

Xiao Sisi traded a color-changing glass bead she brought from Qingqiu Kingdom for a little wooden doll that could dance on its own.

He described vividly how the people of Qigong worked with their ingenious tools and how the little wooden figure hopped and jumped.

Lin Sisi listened intently, her big eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

[Ding! Created and told a children's fantasy story. The plot was cleverly conceived. Experience +68.]

[Ding! Daughter is immersed in a fantasy world, experience +82.]

[Ding! The story is educational and entertaining (mentions hands-on creation), experience +55.]

After finishing a story, Lin Sisi was still eager for more, but she remembered her promise to her father.

She exclaimed, "Daddy's story is so interesting! I really want that little wooden man who can dance!"

[Ding! Your daughter liked and praised the story.]

[Reward: 10 plush cotton-padded jackets.]

"Go to sleep, Sisi. When you're a little older, Daddy will teach you crafts. Maybe we can even make little toys that move." Chen Hao patted her head.

"Now, it's time to sleep."

"Daddy, sing," Lin Sisi made her last request.

"Singing to lull Sisi to sleep."

"it is good."

Chen Hao adjusted his position to make his daughter more comfortable, then gently patted her back rhythmically while humming a wordless lullaby.

His mastery of singing skills makes his humming more ethereal and gentle, carrying a soothing magic that seems to gently envelop people like a warm tide.

As Lin Sisi listened to her father's singing, her eyelids gradually grew heavy, and her breathing became even and long.

Before long, she drifted off into a sweet dream.

Chen Hao stopped humming and looked down at his daughter's peaceful sleeping face in his arms. Her long eyelashes cast small shadows on her eyelids, and her little mouth was slightly open, making soft breathing sounds.

His heart softened with peace, and he couldn't help but gently kiss her forehead again.

【Ding! 】

[System notification: The host is engaging in a 30-minute bedtime parent-child interaction with their daughter.]

[Reward: Dad's Fund + 10,000 yuan.]

[Reward: 30 plush cotton-padded jackets.]

A system notification sounded softly in my mind.

Chen Hao then realized that he seemed to have received quite a few "little cotton-padded jackets" (a term of endearment for children) throughout the day.

The previous rewards, plus the one just now, should add up to quite a bit.

This "little cotton-padded jacket" can be used to redeem items in the system shop and can also upgrade skills.

The online store had been open for a while, but he hadn't had a chance to check it out.

With a thought, his consciousness sank into his mind.

A simple yet clearly defined interface appears, which is the "System Shop".

The top of the screen displays his current number of "little cotton-padded jackets": 1120.

The shop displays many items, each with a brief description and the number of "Little Cotton-padded Jackets" required to redeem them:

……

Chen Hao was secretly astonished.

These things are truly amazing; they're like props from science fiction or fantasy works.

Genetic optimization, brain development, absolute defense... each one is very useful.

However, it seems he doesn't need them for the time being.

Genetic optimization? He felt his body was still in good shape, and he had just discovered that practicing martial arts could improve his physique.

Brain development? He has the ability to directly infuse skills into his system, and his learning ability seems quite good as well.

Language? Not needed at the moment.

Absolute defense and damage transfer? It's peacetime now, and with a child, it seems unlikely we'll encounter such dangerous situations.

Energy bubble gum? He now has a pretty regular schedule, going to bed early and waking up early with his daughter, and he doesn't lack sleep.

"I'll keep it for now and exchange it when I really need it," Chen Hao thought to himself.

1120 "little cotton-padded jackets" may seem like a lot, but they can't keep up with the demand.

Moreover, who knows if something even more powerful or urgently needed will be added in the future?

As he exited the shopping mall, he hugged his daughter tighter, inhaling the clean scent of her shower gel and faint milky fragrance. An unprecedented sense of satisfaction and peace enveloped him.

Today I experienced a lot, but in the end, it all comes down to the tranquility of this moment.

He closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
