Finally, Something Fun to Watch

Su Minghui hadn't expected there to be a spot for her too. "I'm going as well?"

"Mm-hmm!" Chu Yanxiao nodded vigorously. "Auntie and little wife are coming together!"

Su Leyun clapped his hands, his eyes brimming with anticipation.

Yay, yay! Finally, there's something fun to watch!

Trapped in this tiny body, he spent every day either drinking milk or sleeping. He could barely even turn over properly, so he desperately needed something to pass the time.

Hearing Su Leyun's excitement, Su Minghui nodded in agreement. "All right. Auntie and Lele will definitely be there to cheer you on."

A delighted expression appeared on Chu Xuan's face. He instinctively looked toward Fu Siwen and asked hopefully, "Mom, can I go watch my little brother perform too?"

Chu Xuan had never even dared to imagine something like this before. But after his health improved, he had become deeply eager to see the outside world. Fu Siwen had protected him for nearly ten years, and even though she knew the curse on him had been broken, his life had not changed at all.

Although Chu Xuan understood his parents' good intentions, he still could not help testing the waters.

Fu Siwen exchanged a glance with Father Chu, and both understood each other's concerns. Father Chu said, "Xuanxuan, you've only just recovered. There will be too many people at an event like that, and it wouldn't be good for your health. Let's not go this time, all right?"

Though his father's refusal was gentle, the light in Chu Xuan's eyes still dimmed bit by bit. He lowered his head. Though unhappy, he did not argue. "Oh."

As they spoke, Su Minghui's phone suddenly rang. She handed Su Leyun to Fu Siwen, then left the table and went to the balcony to answer it.

Su Leyun was just about to reach for the drumstick on the dining table. Though he had no teeth and could not eat it yet, it would still be nice to hold it and get a taste.

Then he tilted his head and happened to see Chu Xuan with his head lowered, on the verge of tears. He instantly forgot all about the huge drumstick.

Brother Xuanxuan is way too pitiful. Even if the Chu Family mansion is huge, it's still just a cage. He was actually forced to stay here for eight years!

I've decided. He's going!

The spell on him has already been broken, and with Lord Bai Ze protecting him, what evil spirits and filthy things would dare come near him?

Su Leyun tried his best to put on the imposing expression he wore in his Bai Ze form. With a determined gaze, he opened his mouth to stand up for Chu Xuan. But to everyone else, it only looked like his little face had scrunched into a ball as he babbled, "Ah-yah-yah..."

Fu Siwen looked down at him. "Lele, don't tell me you need to poop?"

Su Leyun froze solid.

I do not!

Chu Yanxiao, the only one present who could hear his thoughts, hurriedly spoke up for him. "Dad, Mom, just let Brother go! Little wife said Brother is already better, and with little wife there, Brother definitely won't be in danger!"

The more Su Leyun listened to him, the more familiar his words sounded. By the end, he realized that those were exactly what he had just wanted to say. How had Chu Yanxiao stolen his lines?

The moment Chu Xuan heard that, hope rose in him again.

Fu Siwen actually could not bear it either. Chu Xuan was only eleven, the age when children were at their most curious. Leaving him at home like this was not a solution.

But neither she nor her husband could bear the risk of losing him, which was why they had wanted to handle this more cautiously.

What Chu Yanxiao said, however, gave Fu Siwen some reassurance.

She did not think of the absurd possibility that Chu Yanxiao could hear Su Leyun's thoughts. Instead, inspiration struck, and she remembered that Su Leyun was Chu Xuan's benefactor.

"That's right. Lele is our Xuanxuan's little lucky star. What could possibly go wrong with Lele around?"

Yes, yes, yes! Go, Godmother! I'll definitely protect Brother Xuanxuan!

Chu Xuan nodded repeatedly and promised again and again, "I'll stay close to Little Brother Lele and definitely won't go too far from him!"

Father Chu was still worried, but when Fu Siwen met Chu Xuan's pitiful eyes, she simply could not bring herself to refuse him. "Honey, just agree. Xuanxuan can't stay at home for the rest of his life."

Su Minghui returned from her call just in time to hear this and joined in persuading him. "As parents, we all hope our children will be safe and well. But they still have to walk their own paths. Even if they take a wrong turn, it's all right. At worst, we take a step back and start over."

After being persuaded in turns by everyone, Father Chu finally raised his hands in surrender and agreed to let Chu Xuan attend the school's evening gala.

On Christmas Eve, luxury cars crowded the entrance to Chu Yanxiao's school. Yet even in such a setting, the Chu Family's stretch Lincoln stood out especially.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Lincoln slowly stopped at the school gate. Su Minghui and the others got out one after another, then headed toward the school auditorium under the guidance of the staff to watch the performance.

Su Minghui pushed the stroller at the front, while Su Leyun sat propped up in his seat, curiously observing everything around him.

After the weather turned cold, Su Leyun's style of dress had shifted toward warmth.

Afraid that he would get cold, Su Minghui had dressed him in a white cotton thermal onesie underneath, put a little red knitted hat on his head, and wrapped him snugly in a red cape. Only his rosy little face was exposed, making him look especially adorable.

His little head bobbed as he looked from side to side. The carefully decorated Christmas-themed campus fascinated him. Since the students were all from wealthy or influential families, the school had spared no expense on the decorations. They had even set up a gigantic Christmas tree right on the main road, adorned not only with strings of lights and ornaments, but also with all kinds of gift boxes.

Su Leyun's mouth fell open into a round "O."

As an Eastern divine beast, Su Leyun had never heard of someone called Santa Claus. He found it even more incomprehensible when he heard that Santa Claus climbed down chimneys to deliver gifts to children.

He did not understand why Chu Yanxiao had been looking forward to it so much, but when he saw this Christmas tree, he suddenly understood a little.

It's so sparkly. I love it. I really want to turn back into my true form and roll around on it!

So this is the school that little crybaby talks about every day. It looks like fun.

His gaze gradually grew fervent, and he silently made up his mind.

I need to grow up quickly and start living this kind of life sooner!

Su Minghui was amused by what she heard and could not help reaching out to pinch his little cheek.

It seemed that the all-knowing Lord Bai Ze still did not understand the hardships of going to school. She truly hoped he could maintain this same enthusiasm once he started school.

Su Leyun did not understand why. Seeing Su Minghui smile at him, he gave her a bright, vacant smile in return.

Chu Xuan walked beside Su Leyun, while Fu Siwen and her husband followed at the back, keeping a close eye on Chu Xuan's condition.
