After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 535

Chapter 535: Qin Bei’s Collapse
Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Zhouzhou, leading one in each hand, proudly lifted her chin and sauntered away.

Grandma Qin followed behind, watching her depart like a crab, unable to suppress her laughter.

Indeed, sometimes too much dads could be quite troublesome.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, bright and early, Ye Lingfeng knocked on Qin Lie’s door.

It was only six in the morning.

Qin Lie opened the door, frowning at him and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Ye Lingfeng nodded, “Plenty.”

He scrutinized Qin Lie from head to toe and inquired, “What are you wearing today?”

“Hmm?” Qin Lie’s frown deepened, puzzled by the question.

“I intend to outdress you,” Ye Lingfeng declared confidently, his face brimming with competitiveness.

“And to thwart any potential father-child coordinated outfits that might exclude me.”

Qin Lie gritted his teeth, recalling Ye Lingfeng’s composed demeanor when facing Jiao Yong. It was as if he was dealing with a completely different person from the immature brat before him.

Taking a deep breath, he said slowly, “Considering Zhouzhou’s outfit, are you planning to wear a coordinated father-child ensemble?”

Thinking about the auspicious outfit Zhouzhou had chosen, Ye Lingfeng fell silent.

Well, that would indeed be challenging.

He scratched his chin. “Are you sure you’re going to wear the one from that store? You’re not going to change your mind at the last minute?”

“I won’t,” Qin Lie couldn’t understand why Ye Lingfeng was so concerned about this matter. He glanced at him impatiently, furrowing his brows.

“Okay,” Ye Lingfeng nodded.

Qin Lie glanced at him and then shut the door with a decisive “click.”

His disturbance dispelled any lingering drowsiness, prompting him to get up.

Ten minutes later, another knock echoed through the door.

His expression darkened, and he opened the door, unsurprisingly finding Ye Lingfeng once again.

This time, Qin Lie was already dressed in a crisp suit, his hair styled neatly, exuding vitality.

Seeing him, Ye Lingfeng scanned him up and down. “Nothing’s wrong. I just wanted to see if you were lying about looking better than me.”

With that, he confidently strode away.

Qin Lie’s grip on the door handle tightened slowly, his face full of patience.

Absurd!

“Dang, dang, dang.” Two minutes later, the door was knocked again.

Qin Lie furrowed his brows, walked to the door briskly, and impatiently asked, “Is there no end to this?”

Before he realized what was happening, he didn’t see anyone. But then, he lowered his gaze and met the curious round eyes of his chubby little daughter.

Zhouzhou looked up at him, puzzled. “Daddy, what’s wrong?”

She pouted, “Why are you so mean to me, have you stopped loving me?”

No, it was her immature biological father who had stressed him out.

Qin Lie pinched his brow, bent down, and picked up the chubby little girl. “No, how could that be? Daddy loves you the most.”

Zhouzhou instantly giggled and hugged him tightly, planting a kiss on his cheek. “Me too!”

Seeing his little girl, Qin Lie’s mood instantly lifted. “Why are you up so early, nervous?”

Zhouzhou nodded, “Yes, it’s my first time attending a graduation ceremony, and I don’t know what to do.”

“Daddy, what hairstyle should I have today?”

That was indeed a question.

Qin Lie pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s not do fortune pigtails today. You still need to wear that graduation cap, so that hairstyle won’t work.”

“Oh, I see.”

Zhouzhou felt a little disappointed. So, she couldn’t do her fortune pigtails today.

Then she remembered something, her eyes lighting up. “Then I’ll put my hair down and absorb the wealth on the ground today.”

Qin Lie: “…”

The imagery was too much for him to contemplate.

Without giving the little girl a chance to object, Qin Lie sat her on the small stool in front of the mirror, braided her hair without asking for her opinion, and secured it with a small golden ingot hairpin at the end.

Zhouzhou shook her head, pointing to the top of her head. “Daddy, I want one here too.”

On this point, Qin Lie didn’t say anything, helping her clip the golden ingots hairpins on both sides.

Zhouzhou looked at herself in the mirror, nodding in satisfaction.

Although she didn’t have fortune pigtails, she still had the golden ingots.

Satisfied.

After finishing her hair, Zhouzhou was about to pull Qin Lie out when suddenly, a burst of crying came from next door, startling her so much that she almost fell off the stool.

Qin Lie quickly reached out to catch her and carried her outside.

He saw Qin Bei sitting on the floor, crying out loud, “I don’t want to graduate, I want to continue going to kindergarten, I don’t want to go to primary school, wuwuwuwu.”

Zhouzhou’s little legs wobbled, so Qin Lie put her down on the ground.

As soon as she landed, Zhouzhou immediately ran over to Qin Bei and squatted beside him, curiously watching him.

Xiao Lan, unfazed, swiftly changed him into his school uniform.

Qin Bei refused to cooperate and tried to move around, but Xiao Lan seemed to anticipate his movements and immediately restrained his arms, slipping the uniform on him smoothly.

Watching from the side, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but clap her hands.

Third Auntie was indeed impressive.

Qin Bei wasn’t as happy anymore. Seeing that his resistance was futile, he became even more upset, slapping his thighs and crying, “Why is my life so miserable?”

Zhouzhou: “…”

Why was everyone copying her?

Puffing her cheeks, she reached out and covered Qin Bei’s mouth. “Sixth brother, you’re too loud.”

Qin Bei reluctantly opened his eyes a crack, crying even louder.

“Can’t I switch with Zhouzhou? She can go to primary school for me, and I’ll go to kindergarten for her.”

He looked expectantly at Xiao Lan.

Ever since Xiao Lan uttered those words about him no longer being a kindergarten kid after today, Qin Bei’s defenses had crumbled.

He wished he could be a kindergarten repeater for once.

Xiao Lan glanced at him, her eyes full of disdain. “Do you even need to switch? Zhouzhou got into primary school on her own. Hurry up, stop dawdling. After the graduation ceremony, I want to go out and have fun.”

Qin Bei’s lips trembled, his anger growing. “Why is it just you and Dad going out for the graduation trip?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan rubbed her chin, pondering for a moment, then said seriously, “Because it’s too troublesome to travel with children.”

Qin Bei: “…”

Was she not even going to try to deceive him? Was she considering his feelings so bluntly?

Now even Zhouzhou felt a little sympathetic towards Qin Bei.

Poor sixth brother.

She patted his shoulder and comforted him, “Sixth brother, don’t cry. We’re on summer vacation starting today, so we can play for a long time.”

Hearing this, Qin Bei’s mood improved slightly.

He sniffed and, following Zhouzhou’s lead, stood up from the ground.

He looked at her pitifully and asked, “Zhouzhou, won’t you consider my previous suggestion?”

If he gave her money exceeding the scholarship, she wouldn’t have to do so well in exams.

It would be embarrassing to be outperformed by his little sister.

Zhouzhou blinked and shook her head, “Nope, Brother Dafu said that the scholarship certificate is valuable too.”

At her words, Qin Bei broke down completely.

He exclaimed in exasperation, “Born first, yet living in your shadow!”
