“Let me die…”
His lifeless speech made everyone fall silent.
These men who disliked each other now exchanged a glance with each other and felt mutual sadness.
Reality proved that it wasn’t easy being a father.
They didn’t only need to know how to work and cook, but they needed to know how to teach their child.
“You do it, I can’t do this anymore.” Shen Chuchen trembled, “I need a break.”
He can’t do this anymore.
Damn it.
Don’t let him know who she inherited this from.
Too hard, it was just too hard.
Huo Yao was forced to take over. He dragged his legs and walked over, turning the little thing’s face expressionlessly, You…you…”
Nope.
He couldn’t even talk anymore.
Mu Chen pulled her over and exhaled deeply as he locked his eyes on the little thing, “Good girl, let’s go to sleep.”
“It’s only maths…” The man continued with difficulty, “I pray to forgive my ignorance, but I really can’t teach her.”
He finally understood it now.
Only her number one grandpas were good enough to teach her.
Damn it.
Her grandpas must be gods!!
Special Assistant Zhao covered his face. Three highly intelligent villains took turns to teach her yet they ended up like this.
How miserable.
Ye Sang swayed her head and looked at the table with bright eyes, “…Then let’s go eat.”
Shen Chuchen climbed up from the ground stubbornly and mumbled to himself, “This is too scary…”
When were they ever stuck in a situation like this before?
They used to be a bunch of villains, then they happily became a father.
Damn…
Huo Yao muttered as he questioned his life, “Sometimes the only distance between you and a normal person is a kid.”
No matter how calm and strategic they were, they all broke down with a child like this.
Don’t villains need to teach their children?!
Reality proved that they needed to.
The three of them obviously realized this and Mu Chen started to chant the Great Compassion Mantra silently in his heart as he lost his mind.
Calm down, calm down.
She’s a child. I can’t hit her.
Or those two would beat him up together.
Damn it.
Shen Chuchen opened his mouth with difficulty, “I’ll go and research some more methods on how to teach math.”
He didn’t believe this.
Huo Yao felt dazzled as he glanced at Shen Chuchen, who was still persistent on teaching Ye Sang and he has never had so much respect for someone. The man sounded airy as if he hadn’t recovered from it, “Sorry.”
“Dog Shen,” Huo Yao continued, “I shouldn’t have looked down on you before.”
He started to confess his mistake, “I shouldn’t have thought that you were toxic and a dog.”
Shen Chuchen: “…”
Mu Chen couldn’t help but to confess too, “I also shouldn’t have thought that you were a despicable person and a trash who should be beaten up.”
To be honest, Mu Chen’s impression of him in his previous life stopped at Shen Chuchen was despicable and arrogant trash.
Now that he thought about it, how could he be trash for having so much perseverance in teaching Ye Sang?
These two dogs made different confessions.
Shen Chuchen: “…” Wow, thanks guys.
On this day.
Three villains who disliked each other established a revolutionary friendship through teaching Ye Sang.
Special Assistant Zhao watched everything speechlessly.
Is this how fast men build up their friendship?
After a session of not-so-pleasant teaching, the three of them separated while doubting their existence.
The little thing happily pulled Daddy Shen and ran outside the mansion.
After Shen Chuchen slowly calmed down, he rubbed the little thing’s head and followed behind her.
It was quite nice to take a walk at night. Especially when the soft little ball skipped, she looked so silly and adorable.
Adorable…
“Little baby, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?” The man yawned as he walked, still pondering how he could teach her math.
The little thing swayed her head as she tried to stretch out her hands to hold her daddy’s hand, “Daddy.”
“Mhm?” Shen Chuchen pinched her hand lightly with a smile and followed her steps leisurely.
Ye Sang tilted her head to the side and couldn’t help but to hug his thigh. A million stars seemed to be carved into her big and bright eyes, “D-Do you all dislike Sangsang?”
Shen Chuchen stopped in his tracks and blinked with her clear eyes, smiling lightly, “Why do you think so?”
He couldn’t help but sigh.
She was so sensitive.
The man’s voice was soft and sounded teasing, “I thought a big child like Sangsang who has a line of people who want to hug you wouldn’t have to worry about something like this.”
It was true that rarely anyone disliked her.
Shen Chuchen didn’t think that she would think like this.
The milky little ball looked down like a rice tangyuan [1]and replied earnestly, “B-Big child has worries too.”
Shen Chuchen: “… Alright.”
It looks like it was time for his big child’s psychological education too.
He grabbed the little ball who was hugging his thigh tightly and tickled her chin while smiling.
“Your two dads don’t have good tempers.”
Shen Chuchen picked her up and continued to take a stroll.
“But—” The man changed the topic and smiled, “Do you know what they were like before they met you?”
The “they” naturally included Shen Chuchen too.
“They did all the bad things in the world, they had distorted values, and their favourite thing to do was throw stones at someone who had fallen down a well. They even implemented the thought of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots, they bankrupted all the companies they annexed.”
Honestly speaking, they never thought that someone like them could have a daughter one day.
Shen Chuchen pondered and pinched her soft cheeks. His eyes smiled and whispered, “Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
He leisurely said, “We are indeed bad people, but we are all trying to become better after meeting you.”
They were all trying to get used to the role of a father.
The little thing blinked and the little tail wagged behind her as she hugged her daddy tightly, “Sangsang’s daddy isn’t bad.”
“Mhm.” The man gently continued after hearing her words, “Those two…perhaps they aren’t as warm and gentle as other children’s dads.”
“But Sangsang needs to know that no one loves them more than you in this world.” Shen Chuchen kissed her cheeks and smiles filled his eyes.
Heartless villains like them rarely had anyone they cared about.
And the little girl in front of his eyes was the only exception and bias they had.
Ye Sang nodded in half understanding, “Then daddy…”
She looked up and earnestly asked: “After the parent-teacher conference, could you… could you not beat me?”
Shen Chuchen was amused. “… You still remember that?”
He wouldn’t hit her.
But he couldn’t promise that on behalf of Mu Chen and Huo Yao.
Those two mental people obviously belonged to the type that thought “only I can beat my child up”.
