Chapter 304: Episode 28.5 Calming Down The Jitters
Being a first-time parent to their firstborn child means it is the first time Bai Tingfeng sends his son to school to take his first admission test.
Following the spirit of the famous words: "the first time is always scary," it is not beyond anyone’s expectation for Bai Tingfeng to feel the nerves stimulating his entire being.
He is a caring father. It is natural for him to feel nervous for his son.
This is why Shen Yuan didn’t look at him with a funny and judgy face. The celestial fox spirit respects his husband’s loss of composure.
Shen Yuan watched as Bai Tingfeng palmed his face before grunting, "Never mind the banquet later. That’s just an overblown dinner night. But this admission test... This is pretty big for Yanyan’s future. I just can’t bring myself to sit here leisurely without ensuring everything is well-prepared."
"You are too hot right now," Shen Yuan smilingly opened the small fridge and grabbed a bottle of cold water for Bai Tingfeng. "And for the record, I already ensured that everything needed was there." He pointed at the little bag. "Stop worrying needlessly. Look at your son. You’re making him nervous with your reaction. Here. Swallow your stress."
Yanyan cutely tilted his head at his father, looking all cute and innocent. He didn’t look the part as Shen Yuan described. The boy looked eager to jump out of the car once they arrived at the Qilin Academy.
Bai Tingfeng didn’t insist and just drank the water. However, it seems like even gulping down cold water can stimulate a worrywart parent. e realized something and asked. "How about his snacks?"
"Bai Tingfeng!" Shen Yuan hit a fairly high note there.
He would love to pinch the alpha, thinking that it would stop those tingling nerves in his body. Unluckily for him, Yanyan is seated between them in his booster seat.
"Teehee," Yanyan beamed playfully at his father. "Snacks are not that concerning. Mr. Fu said food and water were not allowed inside the testing room. We can only grab a bite during break time, and if we want, we can get something to eat in the cafeteria. He said that cafeteria food is the best. I want to try eating cafeteria food!"
Both parents are taken by their son’s babble.
"Really?" Bai Tingfeng raised his eyebrows a little. "But today’s cafeteria will be packed considering all the applicants. If your break is only an hour and there is a long line, I don’t think we will have enough time to eat."
"Don’t be silly. Of course, we can do something about it," Shen Yuan stared at Bai Tingfeng, the way public school students look at rich, private school students. "Remember, it is only Yanyan who will take the exam. An entire hour will be left vacant for us. We can head to the cafeteria first, buy Yanyan the food, and occupy the seats before anyone can."
Shen Yuan winked at Yanyan. "With my power and hotness, I can guarantee that I can keep Yanyan’s food hot until he comes out of the testing room."
"Daddy!" Yanyan is, of course, delighted. "That’s smart!"
Shen Yuan enjoyed the reverence from his son. "Years of hustling in this life ought to teach a thing or two."
"Guess our Master Bai here has grown accustomed to the reserved seats that come with his privileged life." He tauntingly smirked at Bai Tingfeng. Instead of getting offended, Bai Tingfeng smiled a little.
This is a secret, but at this moment, he is thankful to have an unserious partner like Shen Yuan.
"You sounded like Mo Lihua just now," he joked. Deep inside, he finally released his worries and relaxed his nerves.
That’s the power Shen Yuan has on him. Unfortunately, the celestial fox spirit was oblivious to it.
"Rude! You know what? Let’s stay silent for the meantime and let the excitement of this packed Monday seep into our bones."
Of course, that silence didn’t happen for the Bai family.
With a gushing excited toddler, unserious and could-n’t-be-shut-up daddy, and teasable father, the trip is destined to be loud and restless.
Thirty minutes into the trip, their car entered the familiar and magnificent gates of Qilin Academy. Shen Yuan remembered the first time they visited the school, and the crowd back then couldn’t be compared to how packed it is now.
Starting from the entrance, a sizeable line of cars slows down the traffic. It took them five minutes to properly park their vehicle in the parking lot. Adults and little children are seen walking around, creating a lively scene that Yanyan witnessed for the first time.
"Whoa..." Yanyan exclaimed once he and his family exited the car. He instinctively held his father’s hand tight while silently taking in the bustling surroundings.
"Do you feel the nerves now, boy?" Yanyan jokingly asked as he fixed his son’s shirt. The hem of the boy’s shirt was slightly wrinkling after sitting for half an hour in the car. His sailor shirt is too cute to be left ruined with creases.
Yanyan didn’t nod or shake his head. He gulped a mouthful of saliva before answering. "I- Daddy, my stomach feels ticklish. There’s a lot of people."
"That’s what people call butterflies in the stomach," Shen Yuan smilingly explained. "The kids here are just like you, taking the admissions exam. Yanyan doesn’t need to be wary. They will be your future schoolmates or friends."
The little boy pouted his lips and slowly nodded. There may be no words coming from Yanyan, but Shen Yuan noticed the momentary glint in those beautiful eyes.
The word friends sparked something inside his son.
Shen Yuan laughed and silently exchanged looks with his husband.
"Come on, Yanyan. Let’s meet your friends. Xiaolun and the others are also taking the tests, remember?" Bai Tingfeng said to the five-year-old. Fortunately, this distracted the child.
The testing place is located in the joint auditorium of the preschool and elementary campus. It is near the cafeteria and surrounded by tall trees and lush grassy floors.
During regular school days, this is the spot where elementary students love to hang out. Lay out a picnic mat here during spring, and it’s the picture of ideal student life.
It’s just such a shame that it’s summer now, and the school is in its vacation phase. All Shen Yuan could see today was a bunch of cute children in casual clothes lining up and their dressed-up parents or guardians standing beside them.
"Yanyan!" A familiar little boy came like a cannonball. With his goofy face and chipmunk-like cheeks, Shen Yuan remembered the child. It was Xiaolun of the Wu family— the goofy Admiral Wu Jin’s nephew.
"It’s an upset! Xiaojin and Tiewa are lining up away from us. They said that their seat number is far apart from me! I don’t want to be alone. Please tell me your seat number is somewhere near 22A." Xiaolun dramatically told his friend. The kid seemed to be in distress, judging how he scrunched his face like dried prunes.
Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng find it funny that the child is boiling over such a small matter. However, Yanyan seemed to have a different opinion.
"Oh no! I thought we would be taking the test together!" Yanyan cupped his cheeks. "Daddy..."
The little kid turned to his dad as if he was expecting him to step forward and suggest a solution.
Too bad Shen Yuan is sitting out this time. With his halo as an S-class awakener, he can easily set things up based on what his child wants. However, he doesn’t want to raise a brat out of his son. This is the start of Yanyan’s branching out, and as a gift for him, he wants to teach his son a valuable lesson.
When things don’t go as planned, sometimes, you just need to suck it up and move on. That’s life.
"Baby..." Shen Yuan solemnly shook his head. "Remember the reason why we are here? We are here to take the test. We don’t get to choose where you will be sitting since the seat was already distributed the moment the initial registration happened. We can’t mess with that because that may compromise the existing system of admissions tests."
"Besides, your seats are just away, but you’re still basically taking the test together."
Bai Tingfeng chimed in, flashing the digital exam stub saved in his phone. "All five of you may not be seated together, but at least you and Xiaolun here will be seated near each other. Look, your seat is 23A. You and Xiaolun might even be seatmates."
"Great! I am no longer alone!" Xiaolun energetically jumped like a bunny, but then he stopped hopping as his eyes landed on Shen Yuan.
Eyes wide and mouth agape, Xiaolun sized up Shen Yuan from head to toe. "Whoa. Yanyan’s Daddy looks amazing today as well, huh?"
Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng cracked up right that moment. "This kid..."
"See? This is the reason why I love children. Their honesty is genuine," Shen Yuan fondly touched Xiaolun’s hair like he was his nephew. "I love your tact, and I like how you know how to judge the goods."
They had another round of good laughs before Bai Tingfeng noticed Xiaolun’s dad waving at them.
"Xiaolun! Yanyan! Get in line now. It is time to enter the auditorium!" Song Yongnian called the kid.
He flashed a friendly smile to Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng before saying, "You guys are right on time."
