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

Zhou Linxu could tell from his expression that he was holding a grudge, and he wondered how many pages his grudge notebook had filled up by now.

To avoid upsetting the little brat, Zhou Linxu sat obediently beside him, wiping his mouth when he saw it was dirty, or stirring the beef broth to prevent him from burning his mouth again.

Zhou Yanqian unconsciously swung his legs. He enjoyed the meal quite well, and with the warm food in his stomach, he felt more energetic.

He left the table, intending to go find Daju and Dali to play with for a while.

Zhou Linxu followed behind helplessly and said, "We just ate, don't run, walk slowly."

Zhou Yanqian looked down at his legs and thought to himself, "I was clearly walking slowly."

He went to the backyard, and Zhou Linxu originally wanted to follow.

But Uncle Li came in, carrying a bag: "President Zhou, I've brought the things back."

Zhou Linxu glanced at it, but didn't follow Zan Zan's lead. He walked towards the sofa and said, "You can just put it on the coffee table."

After Uncle Li put the things away, Zhou Linxu asked, "Is the martial arts gym not busy anymore?"

"There were a lot of inquiries today, but my wife and the others are managing," Uncle Li said. "My wife said she'll take a taxi back herself later and told me not to pick her up."

Zhou Linxu sent Jinxi a message saying that Zanzan was alright, and she only replied with "I know".

He didn't say anything else, afraid of disturbing Jinxi, so he didn't send any more messages.

Luckily, I didn't send it, otherwise Jinxi would have had to take time to reply to me.

I'm already very busy, so I shouldn't add to the chaos.

Zhou Linxu said, "Then you can go home now. I won't be going out today."

Uncle Li chuckled and said, "Alright, call me if anything comes up."

Uncle Li left happily.

Zhou Linxu then took the items out of the bag.

It's the game console that Zan Zan wanted last night.

Butler Zhao ordered the whole set; it's not difficult as long as we connect it.

After he tinkered with it for a while, Zan Zan returned with oranges and lychees.

Zhou Yanqian played with his loyal orange and lychee trees in the yard for a while, but after playing for a long time, he realized that his old father had not come out with him.

I thought he had gone to work again, but when I came back I saw him fiddling with something next to the TV.

Zhou Yanqian walked over and leaned against Zhou Linxu's back: "Dad, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you want to play video games?" Zhou Linxu asked, head down, still looking at the instruction manual. "Uncle Li took Xiaoxi to the martial arts gym and picked it up on the way. Dad will play with you for a while later, okay?"

Zhou Yanqian's eyes lit up; she really bought it for him.

He was just making up an excuse yesterday... last night.

Zhou Linxu kept his head down and didn't see the fleeting emotion in Zan Zan's eyes.

He turned on the TV, which was already connected. It came with a lot of mini-games, including a family version, featuring games like fishing competitions, picture recognition, spot the difference, and racing.

The art style is very cute and cartoonish, and it's also quite positive and uplifting, making it perfect for kids.

Zhou Linxu still remembers playing with cartridges when he was a child. You would put a cartridge in the machine to play a game.

Come to think of it, he hasn't played games in a long time and didn't even realize how diverse the outside world has become.

Zhou Linxu tilted his head and asked, "Which one does the baby want to play with?"

Zhou Yanqian slightly raised his head and looked at it: "Racing."

Zhou Linxu responded, "Let's sit on the sofa and play."

He handed Zan Zan a game controller and gave a brief explanation of the buttons and controls on it.

"Did you understand? Do you want Dad to explain it to you again?"

"I understand," Zhou Yanqian said. "It's just a game console!"

He understands game consoles as simply as he understands oranges and lychees!

Seeing his imposing presence, Zhou Linxu couldn't help but rub his chin with his fingers.

Is this what Xiaoxi meant by "it's ignited"?

Although it's unclear what exactly is going on, Zhou Zanzan's performance was certainly remarkable.

Zhou Yanqian, however, had already climbed onto the sofa with a game controller in hand, looking very proud and confident.

Daju and Dali wanted to jump up too, but Zhou Zanzan ruthlessly refused: "Your feet are too dirty, don't come up, keep them clean."

The orange and lychee trees seem to understand what Zhou Zanzan is saying; they are howling loudly, as if they are dissatisfied with what he is saying.

Zhou Yanqian turned his head away and said, "Tch, I can't hear or see anything!"

Zhou Linxu also sat down on the sofa with his game console. He looked at Zhou Zanzan, then at Daju and Dali, and asked, "Did you fight with the dog again?"

"How could I possibly argue with a puppy?" Zhou Yanqian snorted. "Stop slandering me."

Big Orange and Big Lychee brought him dirty toys, but he didn't want them and insisted on throwing them on his shoes.

In summary, the puppy is a bad guy.

Zhou Linxu leaned back on the sofa, slightly raising his eyebrows. He figured it was just a minor conflict, and soon Zhou Zanzan and Daju Dali would be number one again.

He didn't ask any further questions: "Come on, Daddy will play with you."

Racing games are actually very simple; you just race on laps, and whoever races the fastest is the winner.

After playing several rounds, Zhou Yanqian was exhausted from losing.

He turned to look at Zhou Linxu and asked, "Did you used to play with your dad too?"

Zhou Yanqian noticed that Zhou Linxu's hand paused as he pressed the button.

After seeing through the truth, Zhou Yanqian realized that Zhou Linxu's reaction was so obvious.

Whenever his biological father is mentioned, Zhou Linxu visibly pauses for a moment.

And they don't look at themselves.

When he and Xiaoxi talk to him, they usually make eye contact with him.

Now my father just keeps staring at the screen without saying a word.

Zhou Yanqian narrowed his eyes slightly; he was truly blinded by his own involvement.

Zhou Linxu said, "Yes, your great-uncle really likes playing games. He'll play any new game that comes out."

Zhou Yanqian asked, "So what's his favorite game?"

Zhou Linxu thought for a moment: "There is no favorite, only all of them. His hobbies are not limited to playing games, but also include crafts, journaling, and the like. He likes anything that involves hands-on activities."

Zhou Yanqian blinked. Did his father have so many hobbies?

Zhou Linxu carefully spoke, "The airplane model in your room was made especially for you by your eldest father."

Zhou Jinming wanted to be a pilot, but he didn't end up becoming one. However, he was very good at assembling and designing airplane models.

Before Zan Zan was even born, he was already designing an airplane model. It took him more than half a year to assemble that model, but he passed away before he could even see how happy Zan Zan was.

Zhou Yanqian's heart trembled slightly. So... so that airplane model was made for him by his father himself?

He always thought his elderly father bought it for him.

So, those two words "Thumbs up" on it are also his father's handwriting?!

Zhou Yanqian slowly began, "What kind of person is he?"

Zhou Linxu said, "He is a very carefree person with a good temper. He loves to laugh and also loves to tease people. My father was bullied by him a lot when he was a child."

His expression sombered when he spoke of Zhou Jinming: "He has always been protecting me."

Zhou Yanqian did not miss the struggle and pain on Zhou Linxu's face.

The departure of a loved one is like a lifetime of sorrow.
