The little guy looked at Jin Bo’s expression, Uncle, this is...

Is he not allowing people to tell the truth?

How can he be a good mayor like this!

Jin Bo looked at Huo Jinnan, "Second Brother, isn’t it said that sons should be raised strictly when poor? This method isn’t quite right."

Huo Jinnan looked at the little guy, "So far, I’m quite satisfied with him."

Jin Bo already didn’t want to speak with this father-and-son pair anymore; they’re indeed cut from the same cloth!

He turned his head to look at the old man, "Grandpa, it’s been a while since we’ve played chess, how about a game?"

"Sure, let’s play chess." The old man looked sympathetically at the boss, deeply scarred by the father-son duo. He truly felt that the second brother needed a good lesson, but unfortunately, there’s no one who can put this brat in his place!

He dared not say anything further, living here, eating here, feeling beholden and lacking confidence!

Jin Bo sat down to play chess with the old man.

The little guy looked back at Huo Jinnan, "Dad, let’s go see Xiaoqi."

Huo Jinnan took the little guy’s hand, "Alright."

The father and son went upstairs to the second floor.

The old man glanced at them as they left and gave Jin Bo some advice, "Next time when you see the second brother going out, follow him with a sack, cover his face and beat him up with sticks, then run away."

Jin Bo, "..."

Why should he run away?

Does Grandpa think he can’t beat the second brother, isn’t a match for him?

This family lacks love; he should visit less often!

Huo Qichang looked at Jin Bo, feeling very content. He never thought there would be a day when they could be together like this. Watching the children playing around was a kind of happiness.

...

In the evening, after dinner, the family watched the New Year gala.

The little guy sat on the sofa, tilting his head, feeling uninterested, as he fiddled with the captain’s tail.

The captain lay curled up next to the little guy and Qin Huan’s legs.

Huo Jinnan was sitting beside Qin Huan.

After watching for a while, the little guy felt bored, "Dad, Huanhuan, I’m going upstairs to check if Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi are awake."

As soon as he said this, he stood up and walked toward the stairs.

The captain got up, shook its gleaming fur, and pounced toward the stairs with agile movements.

Jin Bo glanced over, "Xiaowei is such a sister-protecting maniac, and the captain?"

The old man said, "A dog follows the traits of its owner."

Jin Bo coughed, "The second brother brought it home, but I’ve been the one training the captain all along."

The old man gave Jin Bo a look, "But do you think it still recognizes you as its owner? Try asking it to follow you tomorrow, see if it will go with you."

Jin Bo, "..."

Alright then, he felt there was no love from the grandpa either; this is a loveless house!

————Yunqi Academy————

On the second floor

The little guy looked at the two people sleeping quietly on the big bed. Xiaoliao was looking more and more like him; alas, it really makes it impossible to dislike!

Looking at Xiaoqi, she was getting prettier by the day. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The two of them weren’t waking up, so he felt a bit bored, but he couldn’t bear to wake up his younger brother and sister.

He looked at the captain, "Bring your ball here."

Soon, the captain had bitten a ball over and placed it at the little guy’s feet.

The little guy looked at the captain, "Watch closely."

As he finished speaking, he quickly kicked it away.

The captain was even quicker, pouncing directly to catch it in its mouth, and soon ran back to the little guy’s side, placing it by his feet again.

The little guy looked at the captain, such a simple game. Captain used to disdain it, but now it played along, clearly loving Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi as much as he did.

"Dahei, you’re so smart, why not have a puppy of your own?"
