My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

On Friday morning, the shadows of the sycamore trees were cast obliquely on the stone path in front of the kindergarten, and the morning light filtered through the gaps in the leaves, scattering a handful of golden light on the ground.

After dropping off Xiaodouzi, Lin Ye didn't turn around and leave as usual, but instead followed her into the kindergarten.

Pushing open the classroom door, a blast of warm air rushed in, a stark contrast to the dry, cold north wind outside in December—it felt like a completely different world.

The classroom has been rearranged.

The rows of small desks facing the blackboard were gone, replaced by several long tables pushed together, placed in the center of the spacious classroom.

A light blue waterproof tablecloth was laid flat on the table, with the edges carefully taped to the bottom of the table. Each table was surrounded by a circle of colorful plastic chairs.

In the middle of the table were rows of material boxes.

Inside the box, colored cardstock was neatly stacked by color, felt was piled up in a thick stack, pipe cleaners were bundled into small bunches, and colorful pom-poms were stored in transparent plastic jars...

All the materials were neatly arranged and categorized.

The December sunlight was a thin, clean, pale gold, pouring in from the south-facing window and being cut into several bright beams by the window frame, slanting across the light blue tablecloth.

Within the beam of light, countless tiny dust particles slowly swirled, and the air carried a faint scent of crayons, glue, and paper.

Some parents are already there with their children.

This time, Mu Chenfeng and his wife Fu Ping came to visit Duoduo's family; the whole family of three was there.

Lin Ye led Xiao Douzi to Duo Duo's table. Xiao Douzi, holding Lin Ye's hand, greeted them both crisply.

"Hello Uncle Mu! Hello Aunt Fu!"

Mu Chenfeng turned around at the sound, saw the two of them, and grinned at Xiao Douzi, "Ling'er's here! You look so smart today!"

Then he looked up at Lin Ye, a smirk playing on his lips:

"Old Lin, there's another big competition today. Want to see whose daughter will win?"

Lin Ye chuckled and punched his shoulder, saying helplessly, "It's not just our two families, why are you being so absolute?"

Mu Chenfeng glanced around and noticed that several parents nearby were looking at him.

He suddenly felt a little weak and chuckled awkwardly, "...Yeah, let's see who wins the prize then, hahaha."

Fu Ping rolled her eyes, ignoring Mu Chenfeng. She bent down and handed a cup of hot milk to Xiao Douzi.

The aroma of milk wafted out from the small opening in the lid.

"Ling'er, come here, have some milk, be careful it's hot."

The little boy took the cup with both hands, looked up at Fu Ping with a smile, and said, "Thank you, Aunt Fu!"

Duoduo had just returned from her patrol and her eyes lit up when she saw Xiaodouzi. She first obediently greeted Lin Ye.

Then he grabbed Xiaodou's wrist and pressed her onto the empty chair next to him: "Ling'er, sit here! That way we can be together again!"

Xiao Douzi was helped to sit down by her shoulders, with a cup of hot milk placed in front of her, next to Duo Duo's.

The two began discussing what they would do later.

Seeing this, Lin Ye and Mu Chenfeng smiled helplessly and sat down next to the two girls.

Lin Ye had the system start a live stream as soon as he entered the kindergarten.

When the sky over the Great Flame Kingdom lit up, the scene showed this classroom filled with sunlight and table materials.

The barrage of comments started scrolling excitedly in the lower right corner of the screen.

[Commoner Qianxiu: Immortal Lin has opened the Heavenly Curtain again! Is this the same school that appeared before—the First Princess's school?]

[Commoner Zhao Danu: What are those colorful things on the table? I see paper, cloth, and those round things... eyeballs!? Oh my god, what are they making?]

[Commoner Sun Qiao'er: Why are there needles, thread, and scissors? Are they going to do needlework?]

……

After everyone had arrived, Ms. Su, the kindergarten teacher, stood at the very front of the classroom.

Teacher Su was wearing the school's uniform light blue knitted cardigan, with a small sun-shaped brooch pinned to the collar.

She stood on the wooden platform at the front, clapped her hands, and the noisy classroom quickly quieted down.

"Dear parents and children, welcome to the 5th Annual 'Little Hands Create the Future' Parent-Child Craft Creativity Competition at Golden Sun Kindergarten!"

Her voice was clear and gentle, and her gaze swept softly across each child's face with a smile, as if she were greeting them.

"Today's theme is—'Happy Times with My Mom and Dad'." She pointed to the blackboard behind her, where the theme was written in bold.

"Children can work together with their parents to make anything they can think of using the materials on the table."

"It could be a place you've been with your parents, a toy you've played with together, or something you like to do most when you're with your parents."

"Anything is fine! As long as it makes you happy, you can try making it."

She paused for a moment, placed her hands on the podium in front of her, gazed down, and added a touch of mystery to her tone.

"Finally—we'll invite all the children to vote, and the entry with the most votes will be today's winner!"

"The champion child will receive a mystery gift bag prepared by the kindergarten! As for what the gift bag contains... the teacher will keep it a secret for now, but it's definitely very, very big!"

The classroom erupted in cheers and chatter.

Several little boys jumped up from their chairs, tugging at their parents' sleeves and shouting, "I want to be a big rocket!" "I want to be a big dinosaur!" "I want to play soccer with my dad!"...

A quiet little girl raised her hand and shouted, "Teacher Su, I want to go to the beach with my mom!"

The little boy sitting in the corner shouted the loudest, instantly drowning out the rest of the classroom noise: "I want to—play video games with my dad!"

All the parents in the classroom laughed. His father covered his flushed face and was pinched hard on the thigh by his wife, who was forcing a smile next to him.

Little Douzi didn't shout along.

She sat quietly in her little chair, staring intently at the colorful boxes of materials on the table, her brows slightly furrowed.

His lips twitched occasionally, as if he were talking to himself.

Without saying anything else, Teacher Su quickly announced the start.

Instantly, almost everyone in the classroom got busy.

The rustling of turning pages, the snip-snip of scissors, and the chatter of parents and children all erupted simultaneously, making the classroom as lively as a bustling market.

The little boy at the next table who was building a giant rocket had already rolled up a whole sheet of silver cardstock into a cylinder, while his father was frantically applying glue to the cylinder.

Duo Duo and the others had already started working. Mu Chenfeng was cutting cardstock with scissors, Fu Ping was threading a needle beside him, and Duo Duo was standing on a chair directing her father.

"Daddy, those ears need to be rounder! Rounder! They're too pointy, they look like a mouse's!"

Lin Ye turned his head and looked at Xiao Douzi, who was still deep in thought beside him. He moved closer to her and spoke very softly, as if afraid of interrupting her thoughts:

"Has Little Pocket not decided what she wants to do yet?"
