I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

Bai Xiaoqi turned around and glanced at him, "You think you're getting old and turning into a decrepit old man?"

"Bullshit, I'm only twenty-nine, I'm still a young man in my twenties."

"But isn't that what you just said exactly? You're old, not young anymore."

"No, I just have a strange sense of crisis, but I am still a young person, a young person in my twenties."

Chen Shuo is very stubborn. Twenty-one is in his twenties, and twenty-nine is also in his twenties. There's nothing wrong with that.

It's a pity I'll be thirty next year. Once that happens, I won't be able to call myself a young man in my twenties anymore.

A touch of melancholy.

Chapter 324 Love my ass

Midlife crisis is something that can cause a lot of anxiety; at least the fact that you're no longer young is quite disheartening.

Memory declines, the ability to accept new things weakens, and there are ties of family and children.

Chen Shuo felt a little anxious for a moment, but then put it out of his mind. In any case, his kidneys were still very firm.

Anxiety can wait until I'm soaking goji berries in my thermos later.

Without two annoying dolls, time always seems to fly by, and before you know it, another day has slipped away.

In the afternoon, Chen Shuo went to pick up his two children from kindergarten. Nie Xi came over to pick them up, only had time to say hello to them, and then hurriedly left.

Two days ago, Director Nie enrolled his three-year-old daughter, Qingqiu, in a dance class that starts at five o'clock.

The siblings clung to the car window, watching Uncle Nie's car drive away. And it wasn't just that one car; every car leaving the kindergarten gate seemed to be in a hurry.

Bai Xiaoqi has excellent eyesight; she can see very clearly even in complete darkness. It's probably hereditary; they both inherited their mother's excellent vision.

Whenever a car passes by, they can recognize who their kindergarten classmates are as long as they are sitting inside, even through the tinted windows.

Then the siblings took turns pointing out which one was going to the painting class, which one was going to the calligraphy class, and which one was going to the English class.

One by one, the names of the children and the types of tutoring classes they attended came out of the two little ones' mouths. Chen Shuo didn't rush to drive, but sat in the driver's seat and listened. When most of the cars in front of the kindergarten had left, the siblings also calmed down.

Only then did he ask, "Do all the children in your class have to attend tutoring classes?"

"Not all of them, Da Bao and I don't need to go."

"Does Dad mean that besides you kids, are all the other children attending extracurricular tutoring classes?"

"Ah."

There's really no need to ask this question. After listening quietly for so long, Chen Shuo already has the answer: apart from the siblings, it seems like all the other kids are attending various tutoring classes.

At least that's how it is for the kids in their Little Sunshine Class.

Seeing the two little kids nod, Chen Shuo didn't say anything more and started to wonder if he should also enroll them in a program.

He had considered this issue before, but felt that the two children should have a happy childhood, so he decided to postpone it until they were in elementary or even middle school.

But who would have thought these people would be so cunning? The kid is only in kindergarten, still in the lowest grade, and they're already making a fuss about it.

Chen Shuo, who had spent most of his life lying down, inexplicably witnessed a book-opening competition among little kids on this ordinary day, an ordinary afternoon, and then he started to get restless.

Although the two kids are not even four years old yet, their peers are already starting to compete. At this point, can we just sit idly by and wait for others to surpass our children?

No!

If you don't work hard now, won't you be crushed at the starting line by these academic geniuses later?

Every hardship we endure now is laying the foundation for a brighter future.

Although their family wasn't wealthy or extravagant, they wanted everything that other children had—a testament to their unwavering fatherly love.

After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Shuo was almost moved by his own words. After a pause, he tentatively asked, "Dad is asking you, do you want to go to extracurricular tutoring classes like other children?"

"miss you!"

"Do not want to."

The siblings spoke with different opinions. Chen Qinghan was not envious, but the foolish Chen Qi'an expressed that he really wanted to.

He couldn't explain why he missed it, but he just really wanted to. When his classmates talked about attending tutoring classes, he didn't feel anything.

But ever since Nie Qingqiu also enrolled in a dance class, his thoughts have been the same.

Chen Qinghan expressed her disdain for the foolish Oudoudou and, in her role as an older sister, lectured him: "Going to tutoring classes is very tiring. You can't play after school; you have to go to class. You also have to go on weekends when you're on holiday."

Hearing this, Chen Qi'an hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "I'm not afraid!"

"Xiao Bao is so brave."

Chen Shuo affirmed his son's courage, and then asked in a persuasive tone, "Tell Dad, what do you want to learn?"

"Learn to dance."

"Ok?"

Chen Shuo was stunned.

"......"

"......"

After a moment, Chen Shuo said, "Oh, so... Xiao Bao wants to learn street dance, right?"

Although I don't know where this kid learned about street dance, if he wants to learn dance, it must be street dance, otherwise what else could it be?

Chen Qi'an was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Dad, what is street dance?"

"You want to learn street dance without even knowing what it is?"

At this point, Chen Shuo sensed something was amiss, his brow furrowing slightly. After a pause, he asked uncertainly, "What kind of dance do you want to learn?"

Xiao Bao looked up at the car roof, thought for a moment, and said, "Swan Lake and folk dances."

"hiss..."

Chen Shuo hissed in shock, instinctively trying to sit up, but the seatbelt pulled him back down. This was...

The swan dance the little kid mentioned is probably ballet, which is obviously something girls learn. As for that folk dance, it's a dance that showcases the beauty of a girl's figure.

A boy wants to learn this thing.

This... this...

Such a young child already has these kinds of thoughts. If we send this unfortunate kid to learn dance for a few years, won't he become a singer-dancer-rapper, super sweet?

You even need to eat a peach to cool it down.

Thinking of the terrible consequences that might occur in the future, Chen Shuo instinctively rolled up his sleeves.

No, I have to let this brat experience the greatness of fatherly love today and correct his shitty thinking.

Seeing Chen Shuo's posture, Chen Qinghan knew that her father was likely about to take action.

The greatest tragedy is not how bad things are, but that the person involved is completely unaware that tragedy is about to happen.

For example, Chen Qi'an, the person involved, was completely unaware that he was about to be beaten.

Chen Qinghan glanced at her younger brother, seemingly wanting to say something but then remaining silent.

"Come on, explain to your father why you want to learn these two types of dance?"

Although he had rolled up his sleeves, Chen Shuo didn't rush to beat up the unlucky kid right away. On the one hand, he was limited by the space in the car, and on the other hand, he needed to find out the reason.

Giving him a good beating without thinking is not in my style.

Even if you get beaten, you should understand the reasons why.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Qi'an suddenly felt a little embarrassed when faced with this question, and his face even turned a little red.

Seeing him hanging his head and groaning, Chen Shuo frowned involuntarily. "Your face is as red as a teapot."

In his memory, this guy had always been carefree, always grinning like an idiot. Who would have thought that this silly boy would actually blush?

This discovery surprised Chen Shuo, who was a father.

But that's not important.

After a pause, he urged, "Dad is asking you a question."

“…”

Seeing her foolish younger brother still stammering and refusing to speak, Chen Qinghan couldn't stand it anymore and answered for him, "Dad, he wants to go to dance class with Qiuqiu."

"Want to take dance classes with Qiuqiu?"

Chen Shuo was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was the reason: because of love.

Oh, that's okay.

He pulled the handbrake, started the car, and hadn't gone far when Chen Shuo exclaimed "Hey!" again.

Wait, that's not right. My son is not even four years old yet.

Love my ass.

Chapter 325 I Don't Know

Chen Shuo, the father, was shocked to discover that his mentally challenged son might have fallen for Nie Qingqiu, or perhaps had a tendency to be in a relationship at such a young age. This boy was not even four years old.

While driving, he frequently looked in the rearview mirror to observe the two little kids in the back seat, mainly the quiet little boy.

She's not even four years old yet; isn't this precocious?

Chen Shuo was a little unsure, and he had never heard of a three- or four-year-old child dating.

This is beyond the category of "not even fully grown hair"; the child only took off their open-crotch pants a couple of days ago and is still wetting the bed.

As a father, what did he do when he was four years old?

Chen Shuo was already familiar with the life of Chen Situ, whose family had lived in the East Sea region for generations...

Pshaw, you've got the wrong channel.

Although it was a long time ago, he could still vaguely recall it.

They urinated and made mud, poured water into ant nests, fought with a group of children for a swing in the park, and Wu Yulan had to push them from behind while Chen Jianwen stood by and watched.
