This Venerable One Really Didn’t Abandon My Familiar - Chapter 72

Feng Ci was utterly dumbfounded.

The kindergarten was mostly filled with 3-5 year old babies. Children this age always get into fights everyday. Crying and sniffling was naturally not an uncommon sight. Feng Ci’s proudest accomplishment was that he has never cried since the first day of coming here. He even used this often to make fun of others.

But right now, seeing Pei QianYue cry, he didn’t even think about making fun of Pei QianYue, not one bit.

On the contrary, he felt somewhat panicked.

Only the chubby little kid continued to say smugly: “Now you know fear. My family’s boss is really super amazing. There’s no one in this entire school not afraid of him. You’re dead meat today!”

Pei QianYue hung his head and didn’t speak. Tears rolled down his face more fiercely like a string of pearls.

“Xiao Pang.” Feng Ci hastily grabbed the chubby little kid and took the chance to his plump hand: “Doesn’t your hand hurt?”

The chubby little kid shouted from the pinch: “It hurts!”

“Then hurry up and go apply medicine.” Feng Ci had a soft baby voice, but his tone was very stern: “Aren’t you afraid that the teacher will come over in a bit, see you in another fight, and tell your mom and dad?”

The chubby little kid was famous in the school for being a naughty child who’s been scolded plenty of times due to fighting. With these words from Feng Ci, the chubby little kid recalled the experience of being scolded previously. Instantly, he stopped paying attention to Pei QianYue and ran off with reddened eyes.

Feng Ci continued to yell after him: “Remember to say that you fell yourself!”

The little baby ran off very quickly. Feng Ci finally turned his head around and looked towards the tiny little figure next to the corner. Unexpectedly, the latter had raised his head and was secretly examining him. There were still tears on his face, the edges of his eyes were bright red.

“You…… You can stop crying……..” Feng Ci didn’t even notice that when speaking in front of this person, he softened his voice a lot: “I won’t bully you.”

Pei QianYue didn’t speak. He stared motionlessly at Feng Ci, but also did not cry anymore.

His figure was small and skinny. His skin was very white. His cheeks looked very soft. Feng Ci blinked and bent down to give him a poke.

The feeling was very soft, wet.

Like the softest and sweetest cotton candy that Feng Ci has ever eaten.

Feng Ci couldn’t resist poking again.

Pei QianYue didn’t dodge either and allowed him to poke just like this.

Feng Ci played for a while and then saw the hairband that had fallen next to Pei QianYue’s feet. It was probably originally used to tie his hair, but had been yanked off during his fight with Xiao Pang.

Feng Ci crouched down and picked up that hairband. Carefully patting off the sand on it, he handed it to Pei QianYue: “Here you go.”

Pei QianYue still didn’t speak and looked at him in silence.

Feng Ci’s tiny brows furrowed together: “You don’t know how to talk?”

“…… I do.” A soft, young baby voice said quietly.

Feng Ci asked him: “Then why aren’t you talking? Why do you keep staring at me?”

“Want to see you.” Pei QianYue said: “You look good.”

Even though Feng Ci was used to listening to people praise him, he still felt elated with joy at Pei QianYue’s compliment.

“You also look good.” Feng Ci cupped Pei QianYue’s face with his hands and clumsily wiped away the tear marks on his face: “Best when you’re not crying.”

Although crying also looked very good.

But Feng Ci still didn’t want to see him cry.

Feng Ci thought this in his head.

But this person was so good looking, and also loved to cry so much. He will definitely get bullied.

Feng Ci thought briefly and sent out an earnest invitation: “How about I become your boss in the future? With me protecting you, they won’t dare to bully you again.”

“Don’t want it.” Pei QianYue refused without thought or hesitation.

Feng Ci didn’t understand: “Why not?”

“They all call you boss. You are so many people’s boss.” Mentioning this, the baby’s voice didn’t sound too happy: “I don’t want it.”

Feng Ci: “Then what do you want me to be?”

His question stumped Pei QianYue.

The little baby frowned and tilted his head, as if he was pondering this seriously.

“Forget it.” Feng Ci said: “When you figure it out, you can tell me.”

He handed the hairband to Pei QianYue once again: “Take it. We should head back. The teacher will panic if they can’t find you.”

Pei QianYue didn’t accept.

“I don’t know how……”

He was too young and still did not learn how to tie his own hair.

This really stumped Feng Ci: “I also don’t—”

His voice stopped spontaneously as it started.

Because Pei QianYue raised his head to look at him again. Those bright eyes were filled with a watery mist, making him look extremely pitiful.

Feng Ci opened his mouth and then closed it. The words on the tip of his tongue changed: “Then I…… I’ll give it a try.”

That afternoon, Feng Ci and Pei QianYue’s respective classroom teachers searched the entire kindergarten and looked for two entire hours before finally finding the two babies in a corner of the school.

Feng Ci sat next to the sandbox holding a hairband in his hand. He looked down as he tinkered with the tiny little head within his arms.

Meanwhile Pei QianYue laid pillowed on his legs, already fast asleep.

Little Feng Ci and little Pei QianYue got to know each other just like this.

The two kids seemed to be compatible by nature. Put together, they had endless things to talk about. At first, they only stuck together after class. As they became more and more familiar, Feng Ci would even sneak away to Pei QianYue’s class during lunch time and noon break.

The teachers naturally wouldn’t agree to this.

But they never expected these two babies to go on a hunger strike.

Especially Pei QianYue. He didn’t actually cry or make a fuss when he doesn’t see Feng Ci at lunchtime. Instead he just hides in the corner, silently hugging his little meal utensils and refusing to come out to eat no matter what. When no one can do anything about him and go next door to invite Feng Ci over, this person would act like he had experienced a grave injustice and start crying.

Causing the originally well-behaved Feng Ci to also start rebelling.

The teachers tried to stop them a few times with no results. Adding the fact that Feng Ci did not disrupt the order of the other class every time he went over, and on the contrary, because of his status as the kids’ ringleader, he actually helped control the babies of the Middle class.

The teachers ended up turning a blind eye and letting him do whatever.

To make it more reasonable for Feng Ci to eat lunch and spend noon break in the Middle class, they even labeled him a member of the young discipline committee.

“Pei XiaoYue, don’t hide the carrots under the bowl!” The newly appointed young discipline committee member Feng Ci said sternly to Pei QianYue, who was next to him.

Caught in the act, the little baby silently withdrew his hands and looked pitifully at him: “I don’t like this.”

“Not allowed.” Feng Ci has already gradually trained himself to ignore Pei QianYue’s pitiful expression. He scooped out the vegetables in his bowls into Pei QianYue’s bowl and said righteously: “You’re too skinny, need to eat more.”

The reason Feng Ci insisted on eating together with Pei QianYue wasn’t merely because Pei QianYue liked to cling to him.

After getting to know each other, Feng Ci finally learned a lot more things about Pei QianYue. For example, this person was actually the same age as him. In fact, they were born on the same day, month, and year. However Pei QianYue’s health hasn’t been good since little, getting sick practically every few days. As a result, he attended kindergarten one year later than Feng Ci and was also not as tall as Feng Ci.

This must be because he ate too little normally.

The 5 year old kid Feng Ci thought.

Therefore, after learning all of this, Feng Ci would accompany Pei QianYue everyday at lunch to force him to eat a little more.

Pei QianYue was extremely picky with his food. Fiddling with the vegetables in his bowl for quite a while, he took forever to take a bite.

Across the table where the two kids sat, a little girl said to the boy beside her: “You help me eat this and next them when we play house, I’ll be your wife, alright?”

Feng Ci blinked.

He cleared his throat and imitated the example: “Pei XiaoYue, if you finish eating everything here, next time we play house, I’ll let you be the wife.”

Due to Feng Ci’s status amongst the students, as well as his outstanding appearance, he has always been a popular choice when playing house. There’s always a group of people fighting to become his wife every time.

Pei QianYue raised his head and gave him a glance, as if seriously contemplating something.

After a while, he shook his head: “Don’t want that.”

When he shook his head, the loose little pigtail behind his head shook and swayed. Feng Ci had tied it for him this morning.

After the two people became friends, Pei QianYue’s headband would always fall off for some reason. Feng Ci needed to help him tie it back up once every single day, causing his hair-tying skills to skyrocket upwards in a straight line.

Pei QianYue shook his head. Strands of his soft hair scattered and fell as he added: “I don’t want to be the wife.”

“Then what do you want to be?”

Pei QianYue lowered his eyes and said in an extremely small voice: “I want you to be the wife.”

Feng Ci, incredulously: “But I’m a boy.”

Pei QianYue: “I’m also a boy.”

“…… That’s true.”

It wasn’t until half a month after Feng Ci got to know Pei QianYue that he learned this person was actually also a boy, just like him. However, because first impression was the strongest, when they interacted, he always forgot about this.

Feng Ci looked at Pei QianYue’s arms and legs, which was practically one size smaller than his. Then he looked at the large majority of vegetables still remaining in Pei QianYue’s bowl and said hesitatingly: “You have to eat all of the carrots and green peppers in the future then.”

Pei QianYue nodded: “Okay.”

Feng Ci: “At lunch, you have to eat one more bowl of rice.”

Pei QianYue: “En.”

“Also,” Feng Ci continued to negotiate the terms with him: “You definitely can’t tell this to others.”

The grand and majestic boss of kindergarten, being someone else’s wife outside— Feng Ci couldn’t afford this embarrassment.

However, Pei QianYue started hesitating: “I can’t tell anyone?”

Feng Ci said seriously: “No one.”

Pei QianYue: “…… Alright.”

After this day, the teacher in charge of the Middle class suddenly discovered that the pickiest eater of the class, little Pei QianYue, suddenly stopped being picky. Not to mention, he became the kid who ate the most and fastest in the class.

After observing for several days without finding the reason, the teacher could only ask the young discipline committee member, Feng Ci.

Inside the teacher’s office.

In front of all the teachers of the school, little kid Feng Ci puffed up his chest and said proudly: “Because I promised to be his wife, so he stopped being picky with food!”

The teachers: “???”

The author has something to say:

Little kid Feng Ci: I’m such a clever little imp.
