Chapter 1953: Chapter 1933:

Luo Qianqian couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

Is this just the innocence of children? Or are kids simply idolizing those who eat a lot? Is it really hard to understand these days why children’s idols are chosen? Not by looks, but by appetite?

"..." Di Jun was speechless, unsure whether to praise Tantan’s keen eye or to mourn his own pitiful achievements.

"Actually, Brother Di Jun has other impressive traits, it’s just that Tantan isn’t aware of them yet. Just like how Tantan admires Sister Shiliu for her cooking skills. How do you know it’s good without tasting it?" Luo Qianqian suddenly said seriously.

She laughed it off herself—the kids... you still have to respect everyone, and that’s what makes people like you, right?

Tantan tilted his head to think, nodded: "Although I don’t understand what Sister Shiqi is saying, Tantan believes Sister Shiqi is right."

Luo Qianqian: "..." Are you a brainless fan?

"Hahaha, not sure what to say, but yes, Shiqi, your dignity is truly indisputable?" He Wenyu laughed as well.

Luo Qianqian: "..." Go on, laugh, you don’t even have what I have!

"Idiot." An Hao briefly commented...

But it was clear that Tantan had listened to both An Hao’s and Luo Qianqian’s words. To prove he wasn’t stupid, and to eat more delicious treats, Tantan had become He Wenyu’s little sidekick.

It’s one thing to sleep in the same bed, but even getting up requires coordination. Where does a child get all this energy?

He Wenyu had to pretend to sleep and wait for him to nod off before getting up to cultivate.

Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but mock—instead of laughing at ’dignity’, look at how funny your ’closeness’ is!

Seeing An Hao lying obediently, contrasting with her own bizarre sleeping positions, He Wenyu felt weary. Why, for a girl, is she so restless in her sleep?

Check out An Hao, sleeping like a statue, just the same before she sleeps as when she wakes up.

Tantan, though?

Before sleep, lying nicely, but during sleep, performing big moves, upon waking up, possibly tangled in the bedding, unable to extricate himself. What a wondrous child!

An Hao suggested, if Tantan waters the tree branches for a month, he would be just as obedient.

He used to sleep on the tree, since at any time, wild beasts might roam the ground. Even if they don’t possess harmful abilities, one can’t be sure they won’t provoke actively. So the trees are safer. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Moreover, he stayed within the area demarcated by Luo Xiying, free from tree-climbing Spiritual Beasts, ensuring the safety of children in the woods.

From struggling with sleep to perfecting a sleeping position without moving, she endured a long, bittersweet journey.

"Shiqi, look at Tantan." Seeing Luo Qianqian open her eyes, He Wenyu gestured with his mouth, whispering.

Luo Qianqian glanced over, watching Tantan gleefully rolling—not in parallel, but spinning in circles...

Unnoticed, An Hao had opened her eyes too, sat up and watched, then chuckled softly: "Is he pretending to be a Sand Beast? Spinning around, burrowing into the dirt?"

Hearing the noise startled Luo Qianqian, He Wenyu also turned in surprise, seeing An Hao’s bright eyes, shocked.

"How are you awake?" Luo Qianqian tugged the blanket, patting it to signal An Hao to lie down.

An Hao shook her head: "Sis, I’m not tired, I’ve been awake the whole time, just closed my eyes to avoid worrying you, can you take me fishing?"

"Huh?" Luo Qianqian was dumbfounded—what’s going on? Isn’t this just a playful kid? Not sleeping at all, just faking it for her peace of mind?

"Sis, usually in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, I sleep two or three Shichen a day, sleeping more affects my state. You saw how much I slept yesterday? Slept too much, so I’m not tired now."

"What has Uncle been doing? Letting you sleep three Shichen a day? How are you meeting your physical needs? Kids need over ten hours of sleep." Luo Qianqian was flabbergasted, are kids this mature now?

"But Uncle takes me to steal Grandpa Luo’s bait for fishing, huh?" Her face clearly showing ’women are a hassle’: "Uncle never says I didn’t sleep enough, as long as I like it, he doesn’t care if I don’t sleep."

Luo Qianqian heard this and immediately flared up: "What? Not sleeping? I’m going to talk to Uncle about this!"

She huffed, took out the Communication Jade Slip, directly engaged, ignoring An Hao.

An Hao instantly became alert, was she going to verify this? No, this is betrayal—Uncle will lecture him later...

... At the moment, Luo Xiying, night fishing with Old Master, was impatiently starting a fire, preparing for a barbecue.

"Who is it..." Luo Xiying felt his Communication Jade Slip heat up, instantly annoyed, betting it was Luo Shufan wanting grilled fish delivered—was he treating him as a midnight snack service?

But the next moment, he froze...

"What are you standing for? Start the fire! Your grandma wants two fish." Old Master nudged his son, dissatisfied with his pause, yet their recreational activity, for some reason, had become a midnight market...

People show up for food, if not, they request delivery!

"Dad... it’s a message from Qianqian..."

One sentence had Old Master drop the fishing rod, letting escape the fish he’d just caught, nervously standing up: "Is she alright? Is she hurt?"

"No, no... Qianqian says I’m misleading kids, now An Hao won’t sleep, making me responsible..." Luo Xiying was unsure what expression to offer, usually getting few messages, rarely receiving them now even of inquiry...

"That’s your problem, tell my granddaughter Grandpa misses her." Grandpa Luo leisurely sat, picked up the rod, and resumed fishing comfortably, offering no solace to his son.

Luo Xiying was exasperated: "Dad! But you and An Hao first went out at night to barbecue!"

"It was An Hao who started with midnight barbecues!" Old Master retorted: "Besides, it’s your fault, who told you not to educate properly, but instead encourage child antics? See how smart Shufan is, he pretends not to know anything."

Luo Xiying: "..."

Why does he suddenly feel so burdened? Why does he suddenly feel hopeless? Why does his father always leave him to shoulder such huge responsibilities...
