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

In the early morning, the house was quiet and there wasn't a sound.

Chen Hao slept through the night, and as he slowly regained consciousness, he still felt drowsy from just waking up. He habitually turned over, and his arm instinctively reached to his side.

It felt cold and empty to the touch, with no warmth whatsoever.

He didn't even lift his eyelids, but he already knew what was going on.

The blanket beside her was mostly pulled back and piled up messily to the side. The sheets still retained a trace of warmth, indicating that the person had just left.

He slowly opened his eyes, but did not get up immediately. He just lay there and listened quietly to the sounds in the room for a few seconds.

It was quiet outside the bedroom, except for a series of soft, rustling sounds coming from the direction of the kitchen.

There were the soft clinking of bowls and plates, the gurgling of water from the faucet, and occasionally the light sound of a spatula hitting the edge of a wok—intermittent sounds that were exceptionally soothing.

Chen Hao's lips unconsciously curled up slightly as he fully regained his senses.

He sat up, raised his hand to rub his sleepy eyes, and wiped the sleepiness off his face. Then, slipping on the slippers by the bed, he slowly walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen door wasn't closed properly, leaving a crack, and the scene inside was clearly visible.

Lin Caiwei was busy in front of the stove, wearing a casual home apron, her long hair simply tied into a loose ponytail, with a few strands of hair hanging down on both sides of her face, making her look exceptionally gentle.

The pot on the stove was steaming, and she held a spatula in her hand, leaning slightly forward as she carefully turned the contents of the pot, her movements looking somewhat clumsy and awkward.

On the cutting board next to me were several pieces of scallion, cut crookedly and unevenly, clearly made by a novice.

Next to it were two empty eggshells, broken into small pieces, left over from cracking eggs.

She was extremely meticulous in her work, her brows slightly furrowed, her lips pursed, and her eyes fixed intently on the eggs in the pan, her expression so focused that she seemed afraid of ruining them if she wasn't careful.

Chen Hao leaned against the kitchen door frame, not making a sound to disturb her, and quietly watched her for several seconds.

Lin Caiwei's mind was completely focused on the pot, but she kept a close eye on her surroundings and soon noticed the gaze behind her.

She immediately turned her head and saw that it was Chen Hao. She instantly showed a slightly embarrassed smile, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"You're awake?" she asked softly, a hint of embarrassment in her voice.

"I was planning to make breakfast before calling you, but I really couldn't get the timing right, and it seems... a little off."

In an instant, her heart skipped a beat, and her chest pounded.

She subconsciously took a small step to the side, deliberately creating some distance, but she didn't move too far and remained close to him, unwilling to separate completely.

Chen Hao didn't notice her little actions, focusing on the work at hand.

He carefully scooped the burnt egg out of the pan, placed it on a small plate, and set it aside.

He then took two clean eggs, cracked them into an empty bowl, and gently stirred them in one direction with chopsticks. His movements were gentle and orderly, without creating too much fine foam.

"There are two ways to fry an egg: one is a whole poached egg, and the other is a smooth scrambled egg," Chen Hao explained patiently as he skillfully demonstrated, his tone simple and easy to understand.

"No need to beat the eggs, just put them whole into the pan and fry them."

To make scrambled eggs, beat the eggs thoroughly and add a little milk. This will make the eggs more tender and prevent them from becoming dry.

After saying that, he put a small piece of butter into the clean pot and turned on the lowest heat to heat it slowly.

The butter melts slowly when heated, spreading along the bottom of the pot and quickly forming tiny bubbles, releasing a faint milky aroma.

Chen Hao seized the opportunity and poured all the prepared egg mixture into the pot.

The golden egg mixture solidified slightly upon contact with the warm pan. He quickly and gently pushed the spatula forward to stir-fry, his movements crisp and efficient.

"Look at the trick here." He turned to look at Lin Caiwei, who was watching intently beside him, and explained in detail.

"As soon as the egg mixture begins to solidify, it must be removed from the heat immediately. There is no need to continue heating it. The residual heat at the bottom of the pan is enough to thoroughly cook the egg mixture, so that the scrambled eggs will be tender and not overcooked."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the pot and removed the bottom of it completely from the heat source.

Under the residual heat, the egg mixture in the pan slowly sets, turning a uniform pale yellow color. It looks fluffy and soft, and just looking at it makes one's mouth water.

Lin Caiwei stood to the side, watching intently, her eyes unblinking, like a primary school student attentively listening to a lecture, firmly remembering his every action and every word.

"Did you understand? Did you learn it?" Chen Hao put down the pot, turned around and asked her with a smile.

Lin Caiwei blinked gently, smiled uncertainly, and said softly, "I think... I understand the steps."

But I reckon if I tried to do it myself, I definitely wouldn't be able to do it well; I wouldn't be able to control the heat and speed properly.

"It's okay, you'll get the hang of it after a few more practices. Cooking is all about practice makes perfect."

Chen Hao spoke gently, offering her a word of comfort. He then carefully placed the scrambled eggs into a plate, casually sprinkling a little salt and black pepper for seasoning—simple yet flavorful.

Lin Caiwei reached out and took the plate, brought it to her nose and took a gentle sniff. The rich aroma of milk and eggs wafted over her, incredibly fragrant.

"I'll go get the milk." Her eyes crinkled with joy as she turned and walked to the refrigerator, opening the door and taking out the chilled milk.

Chen Hao watched her brisk and busy figure, his eyes filled with a gentle smile. Without stopping, he continued to finish the rest of the breakfast.

He then fried a few slices of bacon until the edges were slightly charred and the bacon was full of fat. He also toasted two slices of bread, cut some fresh fruit, and arranged them neatly on a plate. A simple yet exquisite breakfast was quickly prepared.

Just then, Sisi's soft, sweet voice came from the other end of the corridor, clear and adorable.

"dad--"

Then came the sound of tiny feet pattering on the floor, quick and light.

Sisi was wearing a pink Peppa Pig pajama set, her hair was messy like a little bird's nest, and she rubbed her sleepy eyes as she ran into the kitchen.

She was still a little dazed, but as soon as she saw Lin Caiwei standing in the kitchen, she instantly woke up completely. Her eyes lit up, and she rushed over and hugged Lin Caiwei's legs tightly.

"Mommy!" Sisi looked up at her with delighted eyes, "Mommy's making breakfast too!"

"Yes." Lin Caiwei immediately squatted down, gently smoothed her messy hair, and said softly.

"Mom is learning to make breakfast from Dad so she can make it for Sisi later."

Sisi immediately tiptoed and strained to look at the plate on the stove. She immediately spotted the plate of tender, fluffy scrambled eggs and the fragrant bacon.
