After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 625

Chapter 625: The Little Skinny Pole Dancing on the Line Between Life and Death
“Sir, he’s still not here,” the driver glanced outside and shook his head.

Huo Mingxuan checked the time and his expression suddenly darkened.

It was nearly nine o’clock, and Huo Ji’an still hadn’t arrived.

At such a young age, he had already learned to skip classes.

Was this what he had learned from his new father?

Ah, what a fine father he had become.

At this moment, Huo Ji’an and Zhouzhou were happily heading to their new school.

Suddenly, Huo Ji’an remembered something and solemnly said, “Chubby Girl, we’re honorable elementary school students now, we’re big kids. You can’t keep letting your dad carry you around anymore. Only kindergarten kids get to be carried. Otherwise, your classmates will laugh at you.”

Is that so?

Zhouzhou blinked curiously and looked around. Indeed, everyone was walking on their own.

Including Qin Nan, Qin Bei, and Qin Feng, who had just started elementary school, none of them were being carried.

Zhouzhou nodded seriously, “I understand. I won’t let Dad carry me anymore. I’m already a big kid!”

Seeing Qin Lie’s instantly darkened expression, Yu Ze inwardly thought, “Oh no,” and quickly cleared his throat.

However, Huo Ji’an completely ignored the subtle warning from his dad and gave Zhouzhou a thumbs up without realizing Qin Lie’s threatening.

“Great job!”

Zhouzhou proudly straightened her small chest.

She was indeed a qualified elementary school student!

For a moment, Yu Ze almost dared not look at Qin Lie’s expression anymore.

He couldn’t help but cover his eyes, unable to bear looking directly at him.

“Cough, cough.” Grandma Qin couldn’t bear it any longer and pinched Zhouzhou’s chubby cheeks, saying, “Zhouzhou, it’s okay, you’re still young, you can be carried.”

“No, I can’t,” Zhouzhou said seriously, “I’m already an elementary school student!”

Looking at her granddaughter’s serious expression, Grandma Qin panicked, worried that the little girl might really refuse to be held by her in the future. That would be such a loss for her! Without thinking, she blurted out, “But you’re short!”

Zhouzhou: “…”

Her little mouth pouted, eyes brimming with grievance, and she pitifully looked up at her grandma. “So, does Grandma think I’m short and chubby?”

Realizing what she had just said, Grandma Qin froze and quickly shook her head.

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant!”

Zhouzhou tilted her head up, her clear, shiny eyes brimming with unshed tears, causing Grandma Qin’s heart to ache. She immediately bent down and hugged her plump little granddaughter.

“How could that be? No matter what, Grandma loves Zhouzhou the most!”

“Grandma just wants to hold you more,” she added, her tone turning sorrowful. “Zhouzhou, don’t you want Grandma to hold you anymore?”

The two of them, both full of drama, were completely taken in by each other’s act.

Zhouzhou shook her little head like a rattle. “You can hold me! Grandma can hold me for her whole life, and when I grow to three meters tall, I’ll hold Grandma!”

Ah, understood.

So, in other words, she’ll never be held again.

Looking at his son, who was cooling the air, Grandma Qin pinched Zhouzhou’s chubby cheeks.

“Then do you still want Dad to carry you?”

Oh right, there’s Dad too.

Zhouzhou blinked, feeling conflicted as she nibbled on her chubby paw.

She looked at Huo Ji’an and then at Qin Lie.

Finally, she ran to Qin Lie and gestured for him to bend down, leaning in close to his ear and asking softly, “Can I walk outside and let Dad carry me at home from now on?”

As she spoke, she looked at him expectantly.

Qin Lie naturally disagreed.

It’s so comforting to carry his little chubby daughter.

When she’s at home, she still has to learn various things, and don’t think he doesn’t know that now she and Qin Er are in the same school, they’ll definitely go out to make money after school.

How much longer will he, as this old father, have left?

Thinking of this, he gave Huo Ji’an a cold glance.

This kid is so troublesome!

Now, Huo Ji’an finally noticed his gaze and belatedly realized what it meant. He suddenly shrank his neck.

Chubby Girl’s dad was terrifying.

Yu Ze, feeling helpless, stepped forward and took his hand, turning to smile at Zhouzhou, “You can still be carried. Zhouzhou, you and Ji’an skipped a grade, so you’re naturally smaller than the other kids.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou blinked. Is that so?

Seeing Qin Lie’s somewhat dejected expression, Zhouzhou no longer hesitated and stretched out her chubby arms towards him, smiling, “Dad, carry me.”

It’s better to be laughed at by the other kids than to make Dad sad.

Ah, being a daddy’s girl is such a privilege.

She just wants her dad to be happy.

With that said, the coldness on Qin Lie’s face melted away instantly as he bent down to pick up his little daughter.

The soft-touch finally softened his heart.

Yu Ze also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, he no longer had to worry about Huo Ji’an being kidnapped on the road.

He held onto him and added, “Actually, whether you’re carried or not doesn’t prove anything. Growing up is not determined by this. As long as you feel like you’ve grown up, then you have.”

Huo Ji’an looked at him blankly, not quite understanding.

But seeing Yu Ze’s expression, he nodded.

Alright.

Whatever Dad says goes.

Zhouzhou also nodded in agreement. Yes, that’s right.

Now, she nestled even more confidently in Qin Lie’s arms.

The people behind them breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, they were all worried that Qin Lie would impulsively throw Huo Ji’an out.

Fortunately, although this kid was naive, he had a fairly reliable father.

Completely unaware that he had just narrowly escaped a dangerous situation, Huo Ji’an continued to chat with Zhouzhou obliviously.

He even complained, “Chubby Girl, where did you go during summer vacation? I couldn’t find you to play.”

Summer vacation? She went to the island.

But she definitely couldn’t tell him that.

Zhouzhou mumbled, “I had something to do.”

After speaking, Zhouzhou quickly changed the subject, “Oh, Little Skinny Pole, when school’s over, you can come to my house to play. I’ll show you Laifu.”

“Who’s Laifu?”

“Laifu is a little wolf, very clever.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ji’an was startled, his eyes widened, “A wolf?”

Yu Ze was also slightly surprised and couldn’t help but look at Zhouzhou again.

But thinking of the tiger in Zhouzhou’s house, he felt that there was nothing to be surprised about.

This little girl was quite magical; it seemed like animals were drawn to her.

It wouldn’t be surprising if she brought back a national treasure one day.

“Yeah, yeah,” Zhouzhou vigorously nodded her little head, “He looks just like a dog.”

Thinking of this, Huo Ji’an also remembered something.

“I have a dog now too. Chubby Girl, do you want to come to my house to play?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie’s gaze flickered again.

Yu Ze quickly stuffed a piece of candy into Huo Ji’an’s mouth.

Say less! Otherwise, he’ll have to carry him and run away tonight.

His mouth suddenly blocked, and Huo Ji’an innocently blinked.

Zhouzhou was about to agree when suddenly a black round head popped out of her the golden ingot backpack, resting on Zhouzhou’s shoulder, its vertically slit cat eyes staring at Zhouzhou…
