Chapter 186: Chapter 17 Little Spy_2

His memory took after Lin Xiaoguai’s and even surpassed hers—it could almost be described as photographic.

Shen Chi gritted his teeth; indeed, he couldn’t take this lightly.

There was no helping it; after all, Lin Xiaoguai was too young, and her aura as clean as a young girl’s. Even if she went out with Little Niangao, everyone would just assume they were siblings.

Accustomed to others’ adoration since her past life, Lin Xiaoguai had grown desensitized to such attention, but Shen Chi found it impossible to get used to.

Thinking of his wife going to school in a few days and staying in a dormitory, Shen Chi began to feel a toothache coming on.

Meanwhile, the Han Family was on the cusp of another farce.

"I want to see Shoulu; don’t you hold me back!"

"They’ve already said Shoulu will be unhappy to see you; can’t you just calm down for once?"

Han Kuang and Han Shouxin stood face to face, one trying to leave while the other was trying to stop him.

"Old man, do you even know where Shoulu’s place is?" Han Shouzhen spoke coolly from the side.

"It’s fine. The kid looks like me, he’s in the military, and was only transferred to the Capital a short while ago. His wife is a student at Capital University. I just need to ask old Wei, and in less than an hour, I’m sure I’ll find him."

However, the old saying still rang true: the older the ginger, the spicier it gets. Han Shouxin and Han Shouzhen were nearly sick with frustration. Damn old man, how come he’s suddenly so astute now!?

Zheng Cuicui looked at her father-in-law, then at her husband and little aunt, belatedly realizing—did she just speak out of turn?

"You really can’t go there," Han Shouxin sighed. "Shoulu has his own ways; if he doesn’t want to see you and you show up anyway, who knows how he’ll get angry enough to avoid you."

"I just want to see him, secretly, without being seen at all," Han Kuang pleaded.

He was eager to see the young son his wife left behind. Only by seeing that he was doing fine could his heart truly be at peace.

"...Not now, I’ll take you there after some time," Han Shouxin said, and then warned, "You’re not allowed to investigate Shoulu."

"Alright, alright, I won’t investigate," Han Kuang promptly agreed, naturally, he would not say no since he had achieved his purpose.

The next day, Shen Chi took the day off at home, while Lin Xiaoguai had arranged to visit an early education kindergarten with Han Shouzhen.

Upon first seeing Shen Chi, Han Shouzhen’s eyes reddened, and she tremblingly said, "You’ve grown up so much..."

With just that one sentence, tears already surged forth as she murmured continuously, "Mom, mom, do you see that? Little brother has come back, he’s grown up, grown taller..."

At that moment, though she was emotional, she wasn’t out of control. Reuniting with her younger brother seemed to have greatly improved her mental state.

"Little Uncle." Compared with Han Shouzhen, Xu Ji was much calmer, smiling at Shen Chi.

"This is sister’s son, Ping’an." Han Shouzhen was unable to speak through her tears, so Lin Xiaoguai introduced him from the side.

Shen Chi responded, feeling somewhat uncertain about how to interact with his frail nephew. Should he treat him as he did Little Niangao, worried about him bumping into things, yet being overly cautious didn’t seem appropriate either, after all, he was still a boy.

Xu Ji curiously studied this little uncle he was meeting for the first time. Indeed, he resembled the grandfather quite a bit, though his features were finer and his brows and eyes colder, even his smile had an imposing air, and his gaze was cool and distant except when he looked at his little aunt and little cousin, where there was a touch of softness.

It took a good while for Han Shouzhen’s emotions to settle, yet her eyes still occasionally looked greedily at Shen Chi, afraid he’d disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Is Little Uncle coming with us too?" Seeing her mother like this, Xu Ji couldn’t help but say.

Han Shouzhen’s eyes lit up, looking expectantly at Shen Chi until he nodded, which finally brought a smile to her face.

"The kindergarten big brother found out about was established by a young widow who has been running it for two years now, it’s well reputed." On the way, Han Shouzhen briefed them.

"Are there many children there? How many teachers?" Lin Xiaoguai asked.

"As that lady isn’t relying on this to make a living, there aren’t many children, just five or six, and she’s the only teacher. Brother has asked around among the parents, and they say she is very good with children, careful and patient, and the children all like her a lot." Han Shouzhen hesitated before adding, "But because the food she provides is of high quality, she doesn’t charge cheaply."

"That’s not a problem at all, I’d hope that Little Niangao could eat better," Lin Xiaoguai said while noticing the envy in Xu Ji’s eyes, and a sudden realization struck her.

That was it. Because of health reasons, the child had never been to school, never experienced group living, and probably had few opportunities to play with other children. Although Han Shouzhen almost dedicated all her energy to her son, teaching him everything a student should learn, children always crave companions.

"Sister, have you thought about sending Ping’an to school?" Lin Xiaoguai paused to ask.

Heart Nourishing Pills had obviously taken effect. As long as he took his medicine on time, apart from being physically weaker, Xu Ji should be no different from normal children.

At the question, the smile on Han Shouzhen’s face vanished, and she looked at her son, "How I wish I could, but if something goes wrong, I really can’t bear it."

Xu Ji’s eyes, which had been somewhat bright, immediately dimmed.

"Maybe you could consult a doctor; perhaps Ping’an could now start attending school," Lin Xiaoguai didn’t think a doctor would be able to diagnose anything, but she also didn’t believe there would be no findings at all. Perhaps they could hide it from a Western doctor, but a Chinese medicine practitioner should be able to tell.

"Can that work?" Han Shouzhen was hesitant; she knew her son wanted to go to school, but she truly didn’t dare to take the risk. Yet, his health indeed improved quite a bit recently.

Perhaps, Ping’an’s condition had improved?

As a mother, her heart would always maintain an optimistic attitude on this matter.
