Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

After ordering a small bowl of sweet soup, Jinxi and Zanzan found a seat by the glass window. It was morning, and there were hardly any people in the mall.

Zhou Yanqian sat on the sofa, moved further in, and started swinging his legs again.

The egg waffle was huge; Zhou Yanqian felt like he'd only eaten a third of it after eating for a while.

He tilted his head and asked, "Little Sweetie, when are you coming?"

Jinxi had almost finished her egg waffles when she heard Zanzan ask. She glanced at the table and said, "Almost done, what's up?"

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," and then said, "Let me ask."

Just as Jinxi was about to speak, her phone on the table rang. She thought Zhou Linxu had finished, but it turned out to be an unexpected message.

Li Tangyun, the male protagonist's biological mother.

Strange, why would Li Tangyun send me a message?

And it was a voice message.

She clicked to listen, and a cheerful, sweet voice came through: "Hello, Zan Zan's mom! I'm Zheng Zheng, Zan Zan's good friend. May I play with Zan Zan?"

Ok?

It turned out that the young male lead sent her a voice message, and his voice sounded just as cute as her son's.

Jinxi's voice message was played out loud, and Zanzan, sitting right next to her, heard it clearly.

Zhou Yanqian frowned slightly. Before he could think about it, Jin Xi had already replayed the voice message.

Is Gu Mingzheng sick?

Jinxi handed the phone to Zanzan, who was very clever and could easily send a voice message: "Your good friend Zhengzheng is looking for you."

Zhou Yanqian's two light eyebrows furrowed: "He's not my good friend, don't talk nonsense."

Jinxi said "Oh," and then changed her words, saying, "Then your classmate who sits in front of you is looking for you."

Zhou Yanqian: ...

Zhou Yanqian was speechless. Jin Xi asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like playing with him?"

Who wants to play with him? He's like a husky all day long, only knowing how to flutter his tail feathers like a peacock, oh right, now he's a little flower peacock.

Who's even paying attention to him?

Looking at Zan Zan's expression, Jin Xi thought for a moment and asked, "Did he bully you?"

Zhou Yanqian snapped out of his daze and looked at Jin Xi: "Why do you say that?"

With Gu Mingzheng's fancy moves, one punch from him would send him crying and running home to his mother. How could he possibly bully him?

He was just dismissive (￣_,￣ )! He couldn't be bothered arguing with that brat Gu Mingzheng!

Jinxi said, "You don't seem to like this kid very much. If he bullies you, you must tell me and Dad, okay?"

Zhou Yanqian blinked while biting into an egg waffle, and Jin Xi continued, "It's not just this kid; if any other kids bully you, you have to tell me and Dad too."

Zhou Yanqian, chewing on an egg waffle, tilted his head and asked, "Why should I tell you?"

Jinxi was both amused and exasperated. She replied, "Of course we have to protect you! You're still very weak, and your father and I have a responsibility to take care of you and protect you, understand?"

Zhou Yanqian took a breath: "Oh, I understand."

Actually, he already knew, hehe, but he wouldn't say it.

The sweet drink was served, and Zhou Yanqian picked up a spoon. Jin Xi asked, "Zan Zan, even if you don't want to play with Zheng Zheng, you still have to reply to him, okay? He messaged me very politely, so we should be polite too, right?"

This is true.

Zhou Yanqian puffed out his cheeks. He was a well-mannered child, and compared to Gu Mingzheng, he was still an adult, so of course he should be more magnanimous.

He put down the spoon and egg waffles, unlocked Jinxi's phone with the password, thought for a moment, pressed the voice message bar, and said in a serious tone, "Hello Zhengzheng's mom, this is Zanzan. I don't have time to play with Zhengzheng."

Jinxi, listening from the side, could only laugh. Why did she have to copy other people's format?

The villain and the male lead are truly destined to clash.

Zhou Yanqian was satisfied with his words, sent the voice message, picked up the spoon again, and took a sip of the sweet juice.

This time I ordered sweet tofu pudding, which came with some toppings. The texture of this tofu pudding was quite unique; it was like a pudding that melts in your mouth, but with a soybean flavor. Paired with warm, sweet milk, how should I put it? It was a bit of a marvel.

He'll stick to Jinxi's minced meat and tofu from now on; he doesn't really like it.

Jinxi asked, "Don't you like it?"

Zhou Yanqian said, "I'm not used to it."

Jinxi was a little confused by his answer, but then she thought about it and realized that Zanzan had never eaten tofu pudding before, let alone sweet and savory tofu pudding, so it was normal that he couldn't get used to it.

It seems that Zan Zan won't be involved in the sweet vs. savory tofu pudding battle anymore.

Jinxi's thoughts wandered for a moment, and after thinking it over, she couldn't help but laugh at herself; it was quite amusing.

Zhou Yanqian didn't understand what Jinxi was laughing at. He took another bite of the egg waffle, and scooped up only sweet milk and a little bit of toppings with his spoon.

The phone in front of him rang again. Zhou Yanqian put down the egg waffle, looked at it, and saw that Gu Mingzheng had sent another voice message, which lasted a full forty seconds!

"Hey! It's me, Zhengzheng! Why don't you want to play with me? I really want to play with you! Mommy and Daddy bought me a new toy, a flying airplane! Do you want to come over to my house to play? I can also let you play with my race car, it's a real one you can sit in! You really don't want to play? Come on over, I'll call the driver to pick you up!"

Has Gu Mingzheng always been this talkative since he was little? And so talkative and attentive.

He was just showing off his toys. He had so many toys he couldn't count them all. What was he showing off?

Looking at Zan Zan's expression, Jin Xi carefully said, "This Zheng Zheng is quite enthusiastic."

Based on her experience reading novels, the main characters always have a protagonist's halo. Now that Zan Zan won't become a sinister villain, it would be good if it could reduce some of the unpleasantness and minor conflicts between them.

It's always better to have more friends than more enemies; if all else fails, avoid meeting them altogether.

But the two have already clashed in kindergarten, so it's unrealistic to say they'll never see each other again. Besides, they're surrounded by wealthy families, and their methods of raising children and investing resources are probably similar, so they're bound to run into each other someday.

Zhou Yanqian squinted at her, his voice tinged with displeasure: "You like this child?"
