Quitting My Studies, ‘coz I Want to Date!

Chapter 90: Fanwai Four: Little Tuanzi

Careless people, no matter what they did, were rough at heart. Yao Yi was born like this. Not to mention that someone has been protecting her since high school, she didn’t even have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation at all. She just needed to be happy and do what she liked.

Therefore, when she was pregnant, she still didn’t have the slightest awareness of being a mother-to-be. She clocked in on time at the institute every day and devoted herself to her own matters. 

At five months, Yao Yi’s belly still didn’t show much. Her fair belly swelled up a little, with an almost imperceptible protuberance.

Fu Chuan was very nervous. Even though the doctor said that the baby in her womb was normal and the mother was in good health, he would always put his hand on Yao Yi’s stomach every night, hugging her. His eyes flashed with worry.

Yao Yi was still the same as usual at that time. At the most, she would eat an extra bowl of rice, with an extra small bowl of soup. Up until the sixth month, she always felt unwell and couldn’t rest well during the lunch break.

One night Yao Yi turned over and got up. She sat there for a while, then went to the living room to get a glass of water to drink, still feeling uncomfortable.

Fu Chuan worked at home during this period, and stayed with Yao Yi all day. He woke up within five minutes of her getting up. Following the light, Fu Chuan saw Yao Yi sitting on the sofa in a daze.

“Yao Yao?” Fu Chuan put his arms around his dazed wife, “What’s the matter, are you uncomfortable?”

After that night, Yao Yi, being slow, finally seemed to react to her pregnancy, and her appetite increased greatly.

Fu Chuan began to worry that Yao Yi would have morning sickness. After all, sometimes Yao Yi’s condition could not be inferred completely by routine. After asking his mother Jiang Lan for advice, Fu Chuan also specifically asked Lin Xiuyu for advice. Knowing the general idea, he was still worried, so he took some time every day to let a special teacher teach him.

It was a pity that this was all for naught though. Yao Yi was full every day. Although she got hungry quickly, she was easy to feed, could eat anything, was not picky, and has never had morning sickness.

By the eighth month, Yao Yi’s belly was clearly visible, but it was still a bit smaller than normal pregnant women’s stomachs.

“Both the mother and the child are in good health. The child is probably a little smaller, but the nutrition has been adequately guaranteed.” After the doctor repeated these similar words several times, Fu Chuan was relieved.

Yao Yi didn’t go to the research institute anymore, and was accompanied by Fu Chuan all day long.

At this time in early October, the weather was just right. Yao Yi drank a bowl of sour plum soup that was boiled by Fu Chuan, and laid on the couch in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. She squinted her eyes, deciding whether to sleep or not.

Fu Chuan packed up his things and walked over. He squatted beside Yao Yi, and laid his head down with her.

“What about today’s story?” Yao Yi asked in a daze.

Prenatal education encouraged reading books and listening to music to the child in the womb of the mother-to-be. Fu Chuan would read a fairy tale to the baby in her stomach during his lunch break.

They said it was for the baby to listen, but Yao Yi also wanted to listen. It was not that Lin Xiuyu didn’t read to her when she was a child, but at that time Yao Yi was so focused on trying to read mathematics secretly that she couldn’t listen properly to it at all. Now that Fu Chuan was reading these stories to her, she found it very fresh. She didn’t even know of these stories.

Fu Chuan’s voice was originally magnetic and deep, and there was a special feeling in reading these books.

On one hand, Yao Yi liked Fu Chuan’s voice, but on the other hand, she expressed doubts towards those fairy tales. The logic in them couldn’t stand the scrutiny at all.

“Mhm, there is something wrong with this person.” Fu Chuan gently closed the book, still echoing Yao Yi’s words. He gently covered her with a thin blanket, his eyes full of softness.

Seeing the person sleeping soundly, Fu Chuan leaned against the side of the couch, lowered his head and kissed Yao Yi lightly.

Yao Yi had always been thin. Even though her belly was showing, her face was still not much different from before. Fu Chuan looked distressed, with a baby in her belly, how could it be such a simple matter? Yao Yao was so thin, and the baby had to share a lot of nutrition.

“Be good.” Fu Chuan whispered to Yao Yi’s stomach.

Maybe it was Fu Chuan’s words that made a difference today, the baby was born obediently and well-behaved.

The baby was a boy. The two families agreed together and finally named the baby Fu Jin[mfm] the name reminds me of the term 附近(Fùjìn) which means nearby lol[/mfm], nicknamed Tuanzi [mfm] means little dumpling[/mfm].

Tuanzi loved to laugh, and he couldn’t stop giggling when he saw people. People from the Fu family and the Yao family all doted on him.

Tuanzi has inherited his mother’s snow-white skin. His hair was still a little light, with soft curls on his head, his eyes were round, he looked extremely adorable. The whole person was glutinous and soft, which was why he got the nickname of Tuanzi.

The person that Tuanzi loved the most was his mother, but it was a pity that Yao Yi didn’t know how to take care of children. Every time the two got together, they either sat side by side on the sofa or sat face to face.

Little Tuanzi’s body was not as high as the sofa, and he sat on it with his little feet dangling. He loved to hook his hands with his mother’s fingers. Even if his mother doesn’t talk or coax him, little Tuanzi could watch his mother happily all day by himself.

Sometimes Yao Yi would not watch TV, but would lower her head to look after little Tuanzi from time to time.Whenever this happened, littleTuanzi would be very sensitive and find out. Then he would giggle and crawl onto Yao Yi.

“Your father hasn’t come back yet, I don’t know how to make milk powder.” Yao Yi said dryly to the little glutinous rice dumpling in her arms. She added aggrievedly after a moment, “I’m hungry too.”

Since weaning, Fu Chuan had been in charge of the milk powder feeding. She couldn’t get it right. She didn’t know the temperature and how many spoons of milk powder.

Although little Tuanzi was hungry, his goal wasn’t to eat. Finally being hugged by his mother, he stretched out his short white arms to wrap around Yao Yi’s neck. He rubbed his tender face against her neck, and then stopped moving.

Yao Yi hugged little Tuanzi who smelled of milk in her arms, her hands and feet were stiff, but finally she relaxed slowly. She also imitated Fu Chuan’s previous movements and patted little Tuanzi’s back lightly.

Little Tuanzi yawned loudly, his little chubby hands rubbed his eyes, and immediately wiped away big tears. Then he obediently fell asleep on Yao Yi’s shoulder.

Yao Yi treated herself roughly, and she didn’t dare to move with the child on her shoulder. So until little Tuanzi was three years old, she didn’t dare to touch her son much. Every time Fu Chuan brought little Tuanzi, she would sit to the side and watch eagerly.

Little Tuanzi had successfully grown to the age of four, and his family would have to send him to kindergarten.

“Mom, can I see you when I come back?” Little Fu Jin took Yao Yi’s hand and smiled, “Dad said that Mom’s off work time is the same as that of Tuanzi.”

Little Fu Jin couldn’t help but pause to take a breath after speaking such a long paragraph.

“It’s ok, as long as Tuanzi obediently comes back from school on the first day.” Fu Chuan parked the car and came out, squatting down and wanting to carry little Fu Jin to kindergarten.

Little Fu Jin took a few steps back: “Dad, I’m an older child starting from today on, so I don’t want to be hugged.”

“But the road is far away, you are so young, Tuanzi, it’s very tiring to walk.” Yao Yi had visited the kindergarten beforehand. Unlike her previous random past, the two families had been carefully selecting the school for Tuanzi for a long time.

This school was an international school with strong teachers that belonged to aristocratic style of education. The floor area was not small, and the teaching building was a long way from the parking lot. Many children on the road were all held in their parents’ arms.

Tuanzi listened to his mother the most, so looked at his father hesitantly, and finally nodded.

In fact, he also liked to be hugged by his father, who had very warm arms, and he could also directly look at his mother.

Thinking about it, little Fu Jin stretched out his hand to grab Yao Yi’s hand beside him, and smiled happily after holding Yao Yi’s hand.

Usually, when Yao Yi and Fu Chuan were working during the day, little Tuanzi would either stay with his grandparents on his father’s side or go to his grandparents on his mother’s side. He learned things very quickly, and he could already think for himself. He had always been committed to becoming the most obedient child.

Even in this kind of school, the children couldn’t hide their nature, either wiping their tears, or stamping their feet and crying to their parents.

No matter how well-behaved little Tuanzi was, his eyes turned red quietly. He didn’t know anyone here, and his parents would leave later, leaving him alone.

Fu Chuan and Yao Yi also had mixed feelings. Leaving little Tuanzi in their parents’ home and kindergarten were two completely different concepts.

The teacher came over to talk to the parents at this time, and little Tuanzi clung to Fu Chuan’s side. His mouth was pursed, and tears rolled down his face as he thought of something terrible. He lowered his head, trying to not cry, but his body twitched.

Yao Yi soon found out, Yao Yi squatted down and touched the head of her little Tuanzi: “What’s wrong with the Tuanzi?”

“Mom…” It was still okay when she didn’t ask. However, after she asked, he burst into tears, and little Fu Jin buried his head in Yao Yi’s arms, sobbing non-stop.

Fu Chuan also stopped communicating with the teacher, and squatted down with worried eyes.

This family stood out from the crowd. The qualification review of these international schools were very strict, and the identity of the parents must be truthfully provided. There were many famous movie stars or rich people in it.

But this family… The teacher looked at the squatting family, they were extremely good-looking, even those celebrities may not be able to match.

The child was also fair and endearing. At first he was very happy, calling his teacher politely in a tender voice.

Now that the teacher saw him crying, they[mfm] I’m not sure whether the teacher is male or female, so I just referred to them as ‘they’[/mfm.] felt a little distressed.

“Tuanzi doesn’t want to go to school, so we won’t go to school.” Yao Yi didn’t like to easily express her feelings, but she was the one who pampered little Fu Jin the most in the family.

Yao Yi picked up little Fu Jin and was about to leave.

Fu Chuan had no choice, thinking to come back after a while. No matter what, he couldn’t make the two babies in the family feel sad.

“Mom…” Little Fu Jin wiped away his tears with his small hands. Then, he pursed his lips and kissed Yao Yi’s face lightly, whispering in a slight sobbing voice, “I have to study, Tuanzi has to grow up, so I can take care of Mom and Dad in the future.”

In the end, the two had no choice but to put him down on one side. They coaxed him well, and only dared to hand him over to the teacher after Tuanzi smiled sweetly again.

Xiao Fu Jin watched helplessly as his parents left, and finally had no choice but to go to the classroom.

There were only five students and one teacher. As soon as they entered, there was a loud cry from inside. The teacher hurried forward to pick up the children who were lying on the floor and rolling around.

“Are you crying too?” A voice came from behind Fu Jin.

Little Fu Jin looked over in a daze. It was a girl who was about the same age as him.

“You look so good, be my man.” The girl’s face always seemed cold when she spoke, even when she said such roguish words.

“What?” Little Fu Jin didn’t understand what it meant as this was the first time he met outsiders. 

“It means…” The little girl stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Fu Jin’s face and kissed, “This.”


TLN: Anon: Hehe, little Tuanzi shares the same birthday month as me. ALSO THIS LITTLE GIRL IS SO BOLD, WHAT!?!?!?!
