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

Today is Children's Day, and the main reason for going was to watch the children's performance. By the time the performance ended, it was almost 10:30.

After taking Zan Zan back to the classroom to get her schoolbag and the Children's Day gift prepared by the school, we were able to go home.

Zhou Linxu was carrying a bag containing a toy that looked like some kind of lamp. He asked, "Put it in your bag, Dad will get your bag."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh" and obediently took off his schoolbag again. He unzipped it and saw that there was still a snowflake crisp inside that he hadn't given away.

He picked up the snowflake pastry, and Jinxi didn't say whether she wanted to give it to Zhengzheng, only saying, "Shall I hold it for you?"

Zhou Yanqian pursed his lips: "No need."

He gave his schoolbag to Xiaoxu and then took the last snowflake pastry to find someone.

Zhengzheng was looking at what gifts the kindergarten was giving out when he heard his best friend Zanzan call out to him: "Zhengzheng."

Zhengzheng looked at him and immediately smiled: "Great!"

Zhou Yanqian hummed in response and didn't say anything more, only giving him the snowflake pastry.

Zhengzheng said, "Zanzan, I knew you would give it to me."

Moreover, he clearly has more than the other children.

Zhou Yanqian didn't reply, but simply said, "I'm leaving."

He had only taken two steps when Zhengzheng called him back: "Zanzan, don't rush, I have something for you too!"

Zhou Yanqian tilted his head and asked, "What are you going to give me?"

Zhengzheng had already opened his bag and taken out a gift box. He happily pulled Zanzan to a quiet corner and stuffed the gift into his arms: "Zanzan, happy birthday!"

Zhou Yanqian was a little dazed. He looked down at the gift box he was holding. It was clearly carefully wrapped and had a bit of weight to it, but he had no idea what was inside.

He looked up at Zhengzheng's cheerful face and asked, "You just told me not to leave because of this?"

Zhengzheng nodded: "Yes! Zanzan, my mommy said you should be happy on your birthday, so you should be happy!"

Zhou Yanqian didn't know what to say, so he just pursed his lips.

"Zhengzheng, have you and Zanzan made plans? We're leaving, Dad has a meeting," Li Tangyun called out to him from a short distance away.

Zhengzheng said, "Zanzan, I'm leaving now. Let's play together next time we meet."

After saying that, he leaned in and hugged Zan Zan again: "Bye-bye, Zan Zan!"

Zhou Yanqian gave a dry "Oh," and said, "Bye-bye."

Zhengzheng hopped away like a rabbit.

Zhou Yanqian stood there, somewhat at a loss, having never considered this possibility.

Gu Mingzheng actually prepared a birthday gift for him, even though he clearly didn't like playing with him and had rejected him many times.

However, this person has always maintained a certain level of decorum since childhood, something I can't match.

Jin Xi and Zhou Linxu arrived at this moment. Jin Xi looked at the things he was holding and asked, "Did Zhengzheng give this to you?"

Zhou Yanqian hummed in agreement: "He gave it to me..."

He had intended to mention birthday gifts, but then he remembered that Xiao Xi and Xiao Xu seemed perfectly normal today; they probably had forgotten it was their birthday.

Saying it now... feels like I'm blaming them.

He doesn't necessarily need to celebrate his birthday. He hadn't celebrated his birthday in his previous life, so whether he celebrates it or not doesn't make much difference to him.

Zhou Yanqian then changed his words and said, "It's a Children's Day gift for me."

Jinxi patted his head: "Since Zhengzheng gave it to you, you can keep it. Let's go."

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," and hugged the gift box tightly with both hands.

When they came out, quite a few cars had already left from the kindergarten entrance.

Zhou Yanqian wanted to ask Uncle Li when he was coming to see Xiao Xu, but Xiao Xu happened to be on the phone with Uncle Li at that moment.

He then turned to look at Jinxi on the other side. Jinxi was looking at her phone, replying to some message.

However, she quickly finished replying and turned to Zhou Linxu, asking, "Are you here?"

Zhou Linxu nodded: "I'm here."

Jinxi said, "I've got mine sorted out too."

The two adults chuckled, leaving Zhou Yanqian somewhat confused. What were they laughing about?

Soon, Uncle Li arrived, and the family of three got into the car.

Zhou Yanqian sat in the high chair, thought for a moment, and then began to unpack the birthday gift Gu Mingzheng had given him.

The birthday present was a music box, made entirely of wood, with two small black and white teddy bears on it, one on each side.

Jinxi reminded, "Baby, there's a switch over there."

Zhou Yanqian held the music box and turned it around before noticing the small yellow button. He pressed it gently, and the music box started playing. He couldn't make out the tune, but it sounded like some kind of elegant music.

What's even more eye-catching are the two little bears, one black and one white, which slowly slid to the sides after starting up, their hands swaying up and down. When the two little bears met, they touched hands, just like Zan Zan and Zheng Zheng happily holding hands when they met.

The music inside the music box is about a minute long. Near the end, the two little bears slowly return to their original positions, but they are still close together, giving the feeling that good friends can never be separated.

Jinxi said, "You two are really good friends."

Zhengzheng is such a cute kid when he gives gifts.

Zhou Yanqian simply puffed out his cheeks but did not answer Jin Xi's question.

He said, "Please put it away for me first."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Linxu stuffed the music box back into the gift box: "How about I put it in your cabinet when we get back?"

Zhou Yanqian nodded: "Okay."

He felt a tightness in his chest and had no desire to chat, so he turned his head to look outside and realized that they weren't going home.

Zhou Yanqian asked, "Aren't we going home?"

Jinxi said, "Today is Children's Day, I'll take you out for something delicious."

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," and asked, "What delicious food is it?"

Jinxi smoothed his hair back: "You'll find out when you get there."

Fortunately, the restaurant wasn't far away, and we arrived shortly after we finished speaking.

Zhou Yanqian got out of the car and looked up at the restaurant. Jin Xi had brought him here before. It was a very suitable place to eat in a suit, and it had a great ambiance.

But he wasn't wearing a suit today. Oh well, he wasn't wearing a suit when Xiaoxi brought him before either.

Zhou Yanqian held one adult's hand, and the three of them entered the restaurant.

Jinxi had booked a private room. When they arrived at the door, Jinxi said, "Baby, push it open."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh". Xiao Xi always lets him do things on his own, and then praises him after he finishes. He's gotten used to this routine.

He assumed it would be the same this time, so he didn't think much of it and pushed the door of the private room in front of him with a little force.

Although it was said that he was the one who pushed him, Xiaoxu also helped him.

Zhou Yanqian looked into the private room and froze the next second.

The private room was beautifully decorated, like a dreamy castle.

More importantly, several words were formed with flowers on the white wall.

Happy fourth birthday, Zan Zan!
