Doomsday Child Rearing Handbook [2]

Chen Liguo sat on the bed and nursed the baby.

This fever of Chen Xi’s continued for three days. Chen Liguo would give him spring water and fever-reducing medicine every day, but the temperature stayed at 38 degrees no matter what and wouldn’t come down.

By this time, the hospitals outside were no longer functioning. Chen Liguo was worried but there was nothing he could except have the system search for some methods to lower Chen Xi’s temperature.

However, every cloud has a silver lining and even though Chen Xi had a fever, it did not decrease his appetite. Chen Liguo would feed him four or five meals a day and he would still be hungry.

Three days later, Chen Liguo finally managed to breathe a sigh of relief. Chen Xi’s temperature dropped and he recovered his vim and vigor.

As a father, Chen Liguo choked with sobs, "Tong-er, our child has finally been saved."

System: "......" Here comes a mentally retarded play once again.

Chen Liguo: “He’s my precious baby after all, why are you so cold to him? He’s your kid too!”

System: "......." So annoying, don’t want to talk.

Chen Liguo: "Tong-zi, why aren’t you talking?"

System: "What, swear?"

Chen Liguo: "Ehehehe."

Reading all sorts of scriptures had its use. At least now the system didn’t want to commit murder every time it heard Chen liguo’s ’hehehe’. The number of times it wished to kill someone was reduced to less than ten, of which nth times was wanting to chop up its mentally retarded host.

The next day after the child got better, the neighbor whom Chen Liguo gave his spring water to, Zhang Mingfan, came again. However, he didn’t come to ask for anything this time. He brought a bag of instant noodles, wanting to thank Chen Liguo for his help before.

Chen Liguo was a little surprised to see the instant noodles and said, "So much?"

Zhang Mingfan said, "Mmm, we organized a small group to clean-out the supermarket a little further away. The harvest this time was pretty good."

Chen Liguo said, "No it’s alright, I still have a lot to eat at home."

Zhang Mingfan said, "Don’t force yourself, you’ve turned thin from starvation."

Chen Liguo was indeed a little thinner but that was because he was worrying about his child. He thought it over and decided to accept his neighbor’s gratitude. .

Seeing that Chen Liguo took the things, Zhang Mingfan breathed a sigh of relief. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "May I ask where the clean water you gave me before was found? The tap water at home has been shut down for a long time...... there is no clean water to be found nearby."

Chen Liguo said, "I got this from my water tank. There’s still some left, you can take it back and use it."

Evidently, Zhang Mingfan wanted it. His daughter’s health just got better, but there were only a few bottles of water from the supermarket left, which had to be used sparingly. He sighed and refused Chen Liguo’s kindness in the end.

Chen Liguo said, "Take it, there’s still a lot of water at home, there should be enough for this year."

Zhang Mingfan still shook his head.

Chen Liguo said, "I live alone and don’t need much. We are neighbors, it’s only right to help each other."

Zhang Mingfan hesitated, "Then what if you don’t have enough......."

Chen Liguo said, "By the time I don’t have enough, you all should have already found a new water source." He thought for a moment and said, "I remember that there is a river behind Nanming mountain. When there’s the chance, I’ll go and take a look at it with you?"

Having talked up to here, it would be pretentious to continue refusing. Zhang Mingfan accepted Chen Liguo’s kindness and once again went back with a bucket of water

Chen Liguo watched him walk far away before he smoothly closed the door.

The meat dumpling in the room was crawling around on the bed. Upon seeing Chen Liguo, he called out ’Dada’ with his milky voice. Although he could talk, his pronunciation was still not very clear and sounded particularly lovely.

Chen Liguo picked Chen Xi up and kissed him until his face was all wet.

Chen Xi called out with ’yah yah’s, his small hands patting Chen Liguo’s head.

When Chen Liguo finished kissing, he saw that it was just about 9 o’clock and began to coax the little dumpling to sleep and said, "Xiexie, be good, time to sleep-sleep."

However, Chen Xi refused to sleep and pulled at Chen Liguo’s hands, wanting to bite again.

Upon seeing this, Chen Liguo was a little baffled. He exclaimed, "Why does our baby like my hands so much?"

The system thought for a while, "He is growing his teeth and wants to grind them?"

Chen Liguo: "...... The teeth are all done growing."

Chen Xi grew out his teeth extremely quickly. With a row of small white teeth, chewing meat was easy and took no effort.

The system said, “Otherwise, try giving him something to grind his teeth with.”

Chen Liguo thought for a moment and took out a teething toy from his space which he handed to Chen Xi.

Who would have imagined that Chen Xi wouldn’t even spare the toy a glance and continued to clutch onto Chen Liguo’s hand, refusing to let go as he chewed with delight.

Chen Liguo: "....... Does my hand taste that good?" Seeing the way Chen Xi gnawed made him feel a little hungry.

System: "Tastes like pig’s trotters?"

Chen Liguo was silent for two seconds and then said faintly, "But this is our child."

System: "......"

Just as Chen Liguo bickered with the system, he felt a sudden sharp pain on his finger. He lowered his head and saw that the skin of his thumb had been bitten through. The damaged finger was bleeding but Chen Xi held it in his mouth tightly, with no intention of letting go and seemed to be sucking with great relish.

Chen Liguo, with a dumbfounded expression, quickly saved his finger.

Reluctance was written all over Chen Xi’s face who, with his bloodstained lips, cried out, "Dada, Dada......"

Chen Liguo thought, ’Even if you call meZuzong I still won’t let you suck.’

Then Chen Xi began to cry.

Then Chen Liguo cried to Chen Xi and called him Zuzong, begging him to not cry anymore.

However, even for a Zuzong it wasn’t normal to suck blood and as a good father, Chen Liguo needed to correct this behavior. Thus he heated milk for Chen Xi and stuffed the baby bottle into his arms.

Chen Xi refused to listen and continued bawling. At first, Chen Liguo coaxed him but stopped later on. He watched Chen Xi and fed him some water when he was tired of crying.

Chen Liguo knew that he understood his words and did his best to admonish his child with earnest words and good intentions.

Chen Liguo said, "It’s not right to drink blood."

Chen Xi wailed.

Chen Liguo said, "You’re not a two-three month-old child anymore. Why are you so insensible? You’re already four months old!"

System: "......." It began to wonder what sort of wonderful teaching Chen Liguo would bring out.

Chen Liguo continued to say, "Chen Xi, I am talking to you seriously. Don’t think that you can escape by wailing."

The system thought that crying was as useful as a fart. If it could escape from Chen Liguo’s side by exploding its mind, it would. And even open a hole in Chen Liguo’s forehead while at it.

However, Chen Xi listened to Chen Liguo’s words and actually stopped crying. He looked at Chen Liguo with a face full of grievances and those little eyes made Chen Liguo’s heart break apart.

Chen Liguo: "Don’t look at me like that. Do you think that if you look at me like that, I will be soft-hearted?"

Chen Xi let out a spasmodic sob and cried out a ’Dada’.

Chen Liguo: "......." He instantly felt as though all the mental prepping he did before was rubbish. He hurriedly asked the system for help, "Tong-er, our son is too cute, I can’t keep myself from holding him."

The system said angrily, "He’s just a child, how can you lay down your hand?!"

Chen Liguo: "......You seem to have reminded me of something.”

System: "......." F*ck. It got led astray by Chen Liguo. It quickly diverted the topic, "Give him some spring water to drink, from near the mouth of the spring."

Chen Liguo thought that this request was really demanding, but he still obediently grabbed a baby bottle and entered the space where he stripped naked and submerged himself into the spring water. Then he filled a bottle of water near the mouth of the spring.

After coming out, Chen Liguo had no time to put on his clothes as he quickly fed the water to Chen Xi.

Unexpectedly, after Chen Xi drank it, he really stopped fussing.

Chen Liguo watched as Chen Xi smacked his lips with satisfaction and a threat of melancholy actually appeared in his heart. He thought, ’child, is Daddy’s blood not as tasty as that unsterilized water?’

After Chen Xi finished drinking, he began to snore lightly and seemed to be sleeping very soundly.

Chen Liguo choked with a sob and wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye.

The system’s words broke the sad atmosphere. It said, "Can you first put on some clothes?"

Chen Liguo: "You devil, nothing you haven’t seen before."

System: "......" Really burns the eyes.

Chen Liguo put on pajamas and sighed that today was a fulfilling and interesting day. Then he lay on the bed next to Chen Xi and fell asleep in a good mood.

The next day, the weather was fine and the zombies outside were brimming with vigour.

Chen Liguo brushed his teeth and washed his face in his space and went to the washroom. After he slowly and leisurely sashayed out, Chen Xi woke up.

Chen Liguo stood in the bedroom and said, "Baby, eating meat in the morning is unhealthy, so we won’t eat it today."

Chen Xi babbled in protest and persistently cried out ’meat-meat’.

Chen Liguo said, "That won’t do, eating too much meat will make your nutrition unbalanced."

As he spoke, he went into the kitchen.

Who would have imagined that not long after his front foot stepped in, he felt a soft thing stick onto his lower leg. Startled, Chen Liguo turned his head and found that Chen Xi, who was originally sitting on the bed, had actually walked over by himself.

Chen Liguo picked him up and said in alarm, "Son, how are you growing so quick?!"

Chen Xi’s eyes peered into the pot. He knew that all the delicious food was made in there. He kissed Chen Liguo and flattered him by saying, "Meat-meat, meat-meat."

Chen Liguo: "You think I’ll compromise with just a kiss from you?"

Chen Xi heard this and stared at Chen Liguo. Then he gave Chen Liguo two kisses.

And so Chen Xi’s vegetable breakfast turned into a large stew of soft steak.

There was nothing between Chen Liguo and Chen Xi that couldn’t be solved. If not one kiss, then two.

Chen Xi, who had eaten -meat-meat was extremely happy. He pulled at Chen Liguo, wanting him to tell him fairy tales.

Chen Liguo seriously said, "You can’t listen to fairy tales anymore."

Chen Xi looked a little confused and didn’t seem to understand why Chen Liguo would refuse him.

Chen Liguo said, "It’s time for you to learn something useful."

Then Chen Liguo began to teach Chen Xi elementary school Chinese, elementary school math, and elementary school English.

Chen Xi was a little confused at first but quickly got a hang of it. His learning ability had reached a terrifying level. Whatever Chen Liguo said once, he could remember clearly and could also deduce many things from one case. If it wasn’t for the fact that his body was that of a baby’s and still stumbled over his words, the system figured that his IQ would soon exceed Chen Liguo’s.

Faced with such a Chen Xi, Chen Liguo felt a bit of fear. He said, "System."

The system heard the panic in his tone and thought, ’such a day will also come for you’. It asked, "What’s wrong?"

Chen Liguo said, "I’m a little panicked."

The system asked, "What are you panicked about?"

Chen Liguo said, "He learns too fast."

The system sneered. Just as it wanted to answer Chen Liguo, it heard Chen Liguo’s following words, "I didn’t buy him any senior high school textbooks, I’m so scared that his education will be delayed."

System: "......" F*cking retard.

Chen Liguo continued on, "Studying is the only way for poor people like us." He used up all his savings right before the apocalypse, he really was an authentic poor man.

Chen Liguo sighed with emotion, "Studying is my joy, I love learning."

System: "......" It didn’t seem like you had this sort of awareness in your previous live??

While Chen Liguo worked hard to teach, time passed day by day.

During this period, Chen Liguo’s relationship with Zhang Mingfan became better and better. Zhang Mingfan saw that Chen Liguo’s body was thin and weak so every time he went out to get materials, he would get a few things for Chen Liguo.

In exchange, Chen Liguo sent Zhang Mingfan’s family some sweet potatoes which he had grown with the spiritual water. He said that he had planted the sweet potatoes on the balcony and even let Zhang Mingfan come in and take a look.

Zhang Mingfan saw that this was indeed possible. He dug up some soil and returned home where he planted some seeds on his own balcony.

The sweet potatoes were healthy and those that had been irrigated with the spiritual water produced high yields. The space on the balcony was not large. Afraid that it wouldn’t be able to bear the weight, he didn’t dare plant too much, but it was enough to supplement a family of three.

For the moment, only two households remained upstairs. Contrary to what one might have expected, they lived their days comfortably.

Chen Xi continued growing rapidly.

In half a year’s worth of time, he already looked like a three-four year old child. At first, Chen Liguo was a little surprised. Later, he got used to it. He also blamed the system for not telling him that the spiritual water had a growth acceleration feature.

The system told Chen Liguo that he was talking nonsense. How could the spiritual water have a growth acceleration feature? It must be this child who has a problem.

Chen Liguo cried all night and said, "Is it easy for me to have children? He was born without having come to term, yet you talk about him in this way, are you really treating him as your real son?"

System: "......" There’s really no way to talk to people who play too much.

Chen Liguo thought it over later. Growing up quicker is just growing up quicker. Could it be that he won’t raise him if he grows faster? He can’t bear to.

In fact, Chen Liguo also knew that this wasn’t because of the spiritual water for he also drank it. If it did have a growth acceleration feature, he would have long since been in his seventies according to this speed.

But to take liberties with the system, there must be a reason!

Chen Xi grew up at lightning speed. It must have something to do with his parents. Chen Liguo recalled the appearance of Chen Xi’s mother when she destroyed the world and felt that it was more likely for her to be the reason.

Because he had stayed with Chen Liguo for a long period of time, Chen Xi was particularly close with him and absolutely had to sleep together with Chen Liguo at night.

Fortunately, Chen Liguo had good sleeping habits and didn’t roll around. Otherwise, he would really be afraid of squishing the child.

Chen Liguo could comfort himself that growing fast was a good thing, but Chen Xi had a trait that he couldn’t deceive himself about.

Chen Xi liked to drink blood.

If talking about meat, it was best for it to be half-cooked. As for the fish from the space, he would eat them with relish after catching them.

Chen Liguo was not accustomed to such a behaviour and would seriously and gravely teach Chen Xi every time it happened. Even Chen Xi acting pitiful didn’t work.

Chen Liguo: "Every time you eat raw meat you can’t eat meat for three days."

Chen Xi cried ’yingyingyingying’.

Chen Liguo said, "If you continue to cry then you’ll get a spanking."

Chen Xi stopped crying instantly. He looked at Chen Liguo miserably and asked, "Does Daddy not love me anymore?"

Chen Liguo was shot through the heart by this expression and said, "Daddy loves you."

Chen Xi said, "Want to eat meat-meat......"

Chen Liguo persevered and maintained his bottom line, "Every time you eat raw meat you can’t eat meat for three days."

They went around in circles in this way until Chen Xi hung his head and gave up on resisting.

No matter what, Chen Liguo felt that he absolutely couldn’t give this child raw meat. He felt that if he let him eat and eat, an accident would happen.

Seven to eight months had already passed since the start of the apocalypse. The city’s functions had stopped completely and the once bustling streets were covered in dense weeds, so much that even wild animals could be seen roaming about.

Just the other day, Zhang Mingfan said that he saw a leopard on the roadside. Though, it was only a silhouette that rushed by quickly. Zhang Mingfan guessed that these beasts had escaped from the zoo, but didn’t know how they had escaped from their locked cages.

Then he told Chen Liguo that his group had gotten ahold of guns.

He asked where they found it and Zhang Mingfan said that it was from a nearby police station.

Chen Liguo fished out a packet of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over to Zhang Mingfan, asking, "What do you all plan on doing later?"

Zhang Mingfan didn’t expect for Chen Liguo to still have cigarettes. His eyes lit up and he took one. After he took a deep breath, he said, "Probably go south, the climate there is good. The winter here is too harsh."

Chen Liguo nodded.

Zhang Mingfan said, "It seems that some people in the army got infected. Many of the people who followed them at that time died......"

Places with a lot of people will certainly be dangerous and the probability of accidents would naturally be greater.

Chen Liguo sighed and said, "You guys are leaving now?"

Zhang Mingfan said, "We’ll probably wait till next spring. If we leave now, we might freeze to death halfway through." He was a veteran so he knew a lot of inside information and was using his occupational advantage during this chaotic apocalypse to find a place to go.

In fact, he admired Chen Liguo very much. Such a kind man who looked so thin had actually managed to survive in this world.

At this time Zhang Mingfan still didn’t know that Chen Liguo was raising a child. Because of Chen Xi’s unusual nature, Chen Liguo would always hide him really well. When someone came through the door, he would toss Chen Xi into his space.

Zhang Mingfan said, "Think about about it, you should come with us. Staying here is not a solution either. The materials here have nearly been completely plundered and there are not many living people anymore.’’

Chen Liguo really did consider leaving with Zhang Mingfan. He had planned to stay here for a few years and wait until Chen Xi became a little older and less fragile. But with Chen Xi’s current growth speed, Chen Liguo didn’t need to wait that long.

Zhang Mingfan said, "If you want to come, I will protect you."

Chen Liguo said, "Thank you brother Zhang."

Zhang Mingfan smiled bitterly and said, "What’re you being polite for? If it hadn’t been for you at that time, it’s unknown if Yunyun would have been able to survive."

Yunyun was Zhang Mingfan’s daughter. She was already seven years old, a very cute little girl and was protected especially well by Zhang Mingfan. During the end of the world, the innocence that belonged to that of children was actually preserved.

Chen Liguo said, "I’ll think about it, let’s wait until the winter comes before talking about this again."

Zhang Mingfan also agreed.

Like this, the weather became colder and colder day by bay. As a result, this year was so chilly that it actually began to snow in september.

Chen Liguo was a kid who had grown up in the south and would still wear T-shirts and shorts in september and was given a big fright when he saw the fluttering snowflakes.

Chen Xi had never seen snow before and showed great curiosity. His nose was stuck to the glass, like a pig. Chen Liguo wanted to laugh when he saw it. He rubbed Chen Xi’s soft hair and said, "Want to go and play for a while?"

Chen Xi kissed Chen Liguo on reflex and said softly, "Thank you Daddy."

Chen Liguo looked at him with a smile on his face.

The child stood on the balcony to catch snow. As the weather was not cold enough yet, the snow melted as soon as it fell on his hands. Seeing this, he pouted, looking unhappy.

Chen Liguo asked, "Do you like it?"

Chen Xi answered, "Like."

Chen Liguo patted him on the shoulder, "Even if you like something, you don’t always have to have it. Sometimes it’s a kind of happiness to look at them from afar." Like your mother, it’s not worth it to destroy the world for that sort of scumbag.

Chen Xi raised his head and told Chen Liguo that he understood.

Chen Liguo nodded satisfactorily, feeling that he had played the role of a father perfectly——until he found out many years later that Chen Xi, that bear child, had long regarded his teachings as fart.

Just as Chen Liguo and Chen Xi enjoyed the snow, Chen Liguo heard a loud knock from his door and a woman’s anxious cry, "Ji Yang, Ji Yang, are you here?" Oh, this had been forgotten to be mentioned, but Chen Liguo’s name in this world was Ji Yang, however, Chen Xi’s biological mother was surnamed Chen.

Chen Liguo opened the door and saw Zhang Mingfan’s wife with cold sweat all over her face and a terrified look. She said, "Ji Yang, Mingfan suddenly got sick, could you come over and take a look?"

Chen Liguo agreed.

Du Meng said, "Thank you."

The two went upstairs together and as soon as they entered the living room, Chen Liguo saw Zhang Mingfan lying on the sofa, unconscious.

Chen Liguo walked over to check and realized that Zhang Mingfan had a fever, his face was red through and through. He put his hand over the latter’s forehead and felt that is was hot.

Chen Liguo asked what had happened.

Du Meng said, "It was like this when I came back yesterday." Unable to hold back her tears she choked out in a low voice, "I checked and found......a wound on his shoulder, it seems like teeth marks."

Chen Liguo’s heart sank. He asked, "The fever has run on for a day?"

Du Meng nodded.

Chen Liguo thought for a moment, before saying. "How about moving him to my house. You pair of mother and daughter are not in good health, what if you get infected......"

Du Meng swallowed and said, "B-but, what if......"

Chen Liguo said, "I’ll lock him in my bedroom...... nothing will happen."

Du Meng whimpered and cried, but not long after, she forced herself to pull it together. Even if Zhang Mingfan met with an accident, she had to raise their daughter and struggle to survive.

Chen Liguo couldn’t say anything in consolation and moved Zhang Mingfan downstairs with Du Meng.

Chen Liguo put him on the guest bed which wasn’t in use and told Du Meng to go back first.

Du Meng said with a forced smile, "I’m alright."

Chen Liguo said, "You should go back first. I’ll give him some medicine for now and if anything happens, I’ll call you."

Du Meng grit her teeth and thanked him with red eyes before she staggered away.

Chen Liguo looked at Zhang Mingfan’s appearance and could only give medicine to a dead horse. He went into the space to get some spring water to give to him and also fed him some fever reducing medicine.

It was completely unknown as to whether or not the spring water could cure the zombie virus. Chen Liguo said, "Zhang Mingfan, you need to work hard, if you die, what will happen to your daughter and wife?"

Zhang Mingfan unexpectedly responded to Chen Liguo’s words, his eyebrows furrowed.

Chen Liguo said a few more things, but seeing how Zhang Mingfan was becoming more and more red, he sighed in his heart and went out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

This ’shut’ lasted for two days.

Chen Xi stayed in the space during this entire time. Chen Liguo went in occasionally to accompany him. After all, there was a zombie in the house and Chen Liguo couldn’t bear to put his baby in danger’s way.

Du Meng couldn’t sleep at all for these past two days and stayed outside the door the whole time. Her daughter also noticed that something was wrong and behaved unusually well.

It was unknown if the prayers of the three of them were heard, but on the night of the second day, a howling shout came from inside the room. This howl cried out Du Meng and Zhang Mingfan’s daughter’s names, which were impossible for a zombie to say.

Joy filled Du Meng’s face and she prepared to open the door. However, Chen Liguo stopped her and said, "The situation isn’t quite right, wait a little while before opening the door."

Du Meng had some doubt on her face, but listened to Chen Liguo’s words.

Sure enough, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground could be heard from within, as well as Zhang Mingfan’s shouts.

Du Meng asked, her voice trembling, "What’s happening?"

Chen Liguo thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it’s a residual effect, we should wait outside the door."

This ’wait’ lasted for a long time. This bedroom door had been strengthened as well, otherwise it would have long since been broken. Zhang Mingfan opened the door bolt from inside and came out with blood all over his body. Upon seeing this, Du Meng started crying.

Zhang Mingfan reached out his hand and held her in his arms tightly. He said, "Wife, I’m still alive."

Du Meng said, "You don’t know how scared I was......If it weren’t for Ji Yang, I. I......."

Then Yunyun who sat on the sofa walked over and the family of three hugged each other, while crying.

Chen Liguo was also affected by this atmosphere and itched to rush into his space to kiss Chen Xi’s face.

Then Du Meng went back home with Zhang Mingfan. It took him half a month’s worth of time to recover.

After Zhang Mingfan recovered, he came over to find Chen Liguo. He expressed his thanks and also talked about his physical condition——To put it simply, his body had mutated and had acquired powers. He even showed Chen Liguo his powers.

Zhang Mingfan’s power was thunder based, which was a less common ability and more difficult to advance. But once it reached a high level, it would be stronger than other abilities.

Chen Liguo said, "Congratulations brother Zhang, this time really was a blessing in disguise!"

Zhang Mingfan said, "If it weren’t for you help, I don’t know if I would have been able to survive."

Chen Liguo smiled and said, "We’re all already so familiar, it’s only right to take care of each other."

Zhang Mingfan said, "I owe you yet another favor."

Chen Liguo laughed and said, "I still need to depend on brother Zhang to protect me in the future. Brother Zhang should not be so polite to me."

Zhang Mingfan chatted with Chen Liguo for a while before he went back home.

After Chen Liguo closed the door, he finally let Chen Xi out, who had been in the space for a few days.

Chen Xi pouted, evidently extremely unhappy about being shut in.

Upon seeing this Chen Liguo immediately started coaxing him. After promising Chen Xi that he would make three pieces of steak for dinner, Chen Xi smiled again. He said, "Daddy, I don’t like that uncle."

Chen Liguo asked, "Why not?"

Chen Xi said, "People who are too close to Daddy, I don’t like them......."

Chen Liguo was stunned and seemed to think of something. He inquired, "Uncle? Weren’t you in the space? How did you know that Uncle came over?"

Chen Xi had confusion written across his face. He said, "But if I want to see something, I can see it."

Chen Liguo asked Chen Xi some more questions, but the child answered vaguely so Chen Liguo didn’t understand what was going on. In any case, Chen Xi meant that even if he was in the space, he could also see what was happening outside of it.

Chen Liguo thought about Chen Xi’s fever before and felt that it might’ve had something to do with his ability. However, Chen Xi had never showed it before, which was why Chen Liguo had thought that the fever was just an accident and not an awakening. Little did he know that after such a long time, Chen Xi would show his unusualness.

Looking at Chen Xi’s innocent face, Chen Liguo was at a bit of a loss. He said, "Tong-er, this child is actually a full-fledged genius."

The system asked, "Isn’t it good to be a genius?"

Chen Liguo had a cloudy expression, "This was definitely not inherited from me. Tell me, where did you go to do the hanky-panky and get knocked up? I already had my doubts when you got pregnant back then, you unruly system!"

System: "......" Really want to give Chen Liguo’s behind two kicks.

Chen Liguo said, "Why aren’t you talking? Feeling guilty?"

The system didn’t speak and thought in its heart as it grit its teeth that when it returned to the headquarters this time, it would definitely hand over Chen Liguo’s case to apply for the development of a system protection function.

Chen Liguo: "(?v?) Tong-er, you aren’t thinking about how to torment me in the next world are you? I was wrong."

System: "....." Chen Liguo, just you wait!!!!

Chen Liguo felt unconfident. He thought that he was already miserable enough in this world, but judging from the system’s reaction, why did he have a feeling that the next world would be even worse? This must be an illusion. His and the system’s love had already bore fruit, how could Tong-er bear to do so?

If the system knew what Chen Liguo was thinking, it would probably sneer and tell Chen Liguo that not only was it willing to do so, but it was very willing to do so!!

The Author has something to say:

Orange really is going from bad worlds to worse worlds. Feel pity for five seconds. = =

Ah, have been irrigated to the brim, but still want some. Don’t stop the irrigation fluid (?

The irrigation fluid is full of 30W letters, don’t skip the subscriptions or there’ll be the whole book =3=, continuing to beg.

Thanking to following babies for the mines, grenades, and rocket launchers. XOXO. So happy, hahaha.

StormFrost: Again about the ‘meat’ it was mentioned in a TN about ‘precious baby’ but not everyone looks at those so here we are XD. The ‘meat of Daddy’s heart’ in the title just means that Chen Xi is very precious to Chen Liguo, as precious as one’s heart I suppose.

Oh as for the Author’s Note, I had forgotten to mention last time that ‘irrigation fluid’ is a type of support as well, like the mines and such.
