Chapter 260: Episode 24.1 Yanyan Is The Best!
Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng are not expecting to hear a philosophical answer from their five-year-old son but deciding on his future school based on the costume he will get to wear... all they can say is that Yanyan is indeed a child.
Everyone who could see Yanyan gushing about participating in Qilin Academy’s school festival could only agree on one thing— Yanyan is super adorable!
The adults mustered all of their self-control to stop themselves from mobbing the little boy and pinching his cheeks.
Anyway, Yanyan is looking forward to attending, so it doesn’t make sense his parents didn’t enroll him in Qilin Academy. Right after they checked the cafeteria, which, by the way, looked like a big restaurant, Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng told Director Song about their intention.
They are in the campus playground where Yanyan freely runs around. Yuqi, the kind-hearted qilin, keeps him company while his parents are busy talking with Director Song.
"Whoah, that’s settled pretty fast."
Of course, that annoying Chairman Mao had something to say once he heard the news from his buddy, Shen Yuan. He used his identity as Song Dingxiang’s husband well to stay and listen to their conversation. Shen Yuan only rolled his eyes at him.
"Well, we’ve seen that Qilin Academy is indeed good. It’s completely everything my son needs for his education, so it’s an easy decision. Besides, we already decided before this that we will enroll Yanyan in Qilin University’s kindergarten program. We’re waiting to hear Yanyan’s opinion before we push through," Bai Tingfeng explained.
"So, if Yanyan doesn’t like it, you will not send him here? But he’s just five years old. How would he know what’s a good school and what’s not?" Chairman Mao asked, confused.
Just in time, they heard Yanyan calling his parents from a distance.
"Daddy! They have beautiful roses here! Do you want to pick some?"
Shen Yuan looked over and saw Yanyan standing in front of the bushes where beautiful pink roses were sticking out. Instead of saying yes or no, he asked, "Do you happen to see any signage nearby?"
Yanyan looked around from where he stood. Chairman Mao and Director Song watched the boy with interest.
"There is! The leaves slightly hide it, but there’s a signage below!" Yanyan quickly reported. His platinum-blonde hair dances as he looks back to his Daddy.
"Then, can you read for me?"
Everyone but Yanyan’s parents is surprised to hear the request. Yanyan is just five years old, so most people expect him to be unable to read. Most children start to learn reading around ages six to seven.
"Oh. Okay," Yanyan was also surprised but quickly regained his composure. He started, "Puhleaseee, don’t pick the flowersss."
"Pfft!" Shen Yuan tried his best not to laugh at the childish pronunciation of his son but ultimately failed. Bai Tingfeng, beside him, is also amused at his son’s cuteness, but he controls himself.
The elders and the great spirit are also smiling at Yanyan’s adorableness.
"Daddy!" Yanyan covered his face, feeling shy.
"You did a great job, Yanyan. Don’t be shy!" Shen Yuan quickly consoled the boy. "You can do whatever you want now."
Still pouting, Yanyan replied, "Okay."
He stood before the roses as he immersed himself in deep thought.
However, instead of picking the roses like he initially intended, Yanyan gave the signage one last look of regret before turning his back and running towards the swing. The cute butt he inherited from his Papa is slightly bouncing.
Shen Yuan watched his boy play the swing before answering Chairman Mao’s question.
"Did you see that, Chairman Mao? My son is smart enough to know what is the right action in that given situation. I gave him the freedom to do whatever he wanted. He knows that even if he disobeyed what the signage says, his powerful and handsome Daddy—"
"—oh, come on!" Chairman Mao complained in response to Shen Yuan’s blatant bragging. But the latter didn’t pay attention to him and continued while giving more emphasis to essential details.
"He knows that his HANDSOME, DELICIOUS, AND OH-SO YUMMY Daddy could handle the consequences for him. But instead of picking the flowers, he gave up and walked away because that is the right thing."
"Do you think a child like that cannot judge what is a good school for him?"
Chairman Mao was shoved into the pits of contemplation. Shen Yuan’s words make sense. He had noticed it before. Compared to other children he met, Yanyan is the most emotionally sensitive. He thought it was due to the insecurity of having no mother figure before Shen Yuan came back, but no!
He could see it now; Yanyan has a high emotional intelligence!
"Okay. You taught me one thing. Appreciate it," Chairman Mao said. "But you should refrain from describing yourself as handsome, delicious, and oh-so-yummy because Yanyan surely doesn’t think of his Daddy that way."
"I know," Shen Yuan shrugged the advice off. "But I know that his Papa thinks of me like that."
Bai Tinngfeng almost choked on his saliva. "I—"
Okay! He’s guilty as charged!
Yanyan’s parents and Director Song later on talked about the admission process. As it turns out, there would be a little admission test that most enrollees had to do. However, having an S-class awakened within the family, Yanyan could enter by recommendation.
However, Shen Yuan didn’t choose to use the express lane. He wants his son to enrich his experience by going through what most kids will experience. Of course, Yanyan also gave his thumbs up because he heard that some of his friends would take the exam, too.
The more, the merrier.
Almost an hour later, the Bai family waved others goodbye. Shen Yuan leaned half of his body inside the car and swiftly helped Yanyan be seated in the booster seat. He then motioned for his husband to go inside first.
Of course, Bai Tingfeng knows that Shen Yuan has to do something before they leave, so he joins their son inside the car. Shen Yuan closed the car door with a thud and walked away from the vehicle.
"Don’t you think we are forgetting something?" Shen Yuan asked the hovering figure just behind the nearby tree. He noticed before that this newborn fujoshi was watching his every move as if she wanted to say something.
"I-I think so," Yuqi said, slightly nervous. "The materials that we agreed on... You’re not going to forget them, are you?"
’Figures,’ The celestial fox spirit internally rolled his eyes with a silly smile.
Once you fall down the rabbit hole called BL, you really can’t go back.
"I gave you my word, and all you have to do is wait for it," Shen Yuan said confidently. "But we must also not forget you haven’t fulfilled your side of the deal. The help you gave my husband was due to the great qualities you approved of. But what about my reward for passing the test?"
Yuqi blinked her eyes and realized that it was true. She hadn’t done anything for Shen Yuan!
This is one of her flaws. Whenever she’s immersed in an excellent new book, she’s distracted as hell. She tends to overlook one too many things! Oh, the woes of a book addict.
"Then what request do you want to fulfill now?"
Shen Yuan flashed a toothy grin before answering. "Well, I just have one selfish request. I want you to promise that you will do your very best to keep my son safe as long as he’s in your territory."
Yuqi was surprised and confused upon hearing the request. "That’s all? That’s very basic, though. As the guardian of two schools, I am committed to every student’s safety. My presence here boosted the healing of the students, which is why even though we have a hunter program at the university, no one has ever died from it. People with bad intentions could never find the two schools because of my magic. I’m telling you in my name that you won’t have to worry about it."
A vow using a spirit’s name is a powerful pact that could never be broken, and it is risky for the spirit, but Shen Yuan shook his head, "What I’m asking you is to keep Yanyan safe no matter what the situation is. If someone dares to harm him, I ask you to do anything to protect him— even if it’s hurting that person."
The qilin turned stiff.
It’s famous among the legends that qilins are non-aggressive spirits. Monks wrote in their scriptures that qilins would float instead of hurting the grasses whenever they came to the mortal realm.
The celestial fox spirit knows this is all true.
If they are like this to humble green grass, how much more towards humans?
"I don’t know if you have any idea what’s going on outside, but some horrible people are trying to bring harm to this world by spawning many dungeons and breaking them. They want to turn this world into a giant jigsaw puzzle of ground zero, overloaded with mana. These people don’t stop at anything, and they are coming after my son and me. Last time, they threatened to siphon my son’s blood. Thank goodness my husband and I were there to stop that."
To say that Yuqi is shocked by the revelation was an understatement. Her head was racing, and a flash of recognition sparked in her eyes.
However, she quickly hid that and said, "Okay, I will do that."
