When the door opened and a little body wanted to squeeze through the small gap, two women and a man jerked in surprise. A fluffy black dog? No, a child?!?! They stared at the confused child speechlessly.

After observing the stunned people, Ying Xong closed the broken door and trotted back to clutch onto Xuan Mu’s leg. His black hair and black onesies made him camouflage with Xuan Mu’s black pants.

Xuan Mu picked the disappointed boy, greeting the new guests, he led the three people towards the next apartment, “Ying Xiong, say hello to Grandpa, and Grandma.”

Even though he could understand his daddy’s words, Ying Xiong, who fell for his mommy’s trap again, hid his face in his daddy’s chest, refusing any contact with the new nannies. To the little stinky bun, everyone besides daddy and mommy was a nanny.

How to say your wife was rich without saying she was rich, or how to say she was getting more and more paranoid? She made an exact replica of their house just because she didn’t like strangers passing through her actual doorstep.

“I’ll be keeping your phones and other recording devices for my son’s safety,” said Xuan Mu as he showed them Ying Xong’s routine, “Do you have some experience in taking care of children?”

.....

Mr. and Mrs. Lin stared at the beautiful child in a daze. So the boy was their grandson? Even though they had no knowledge, they nodded their heads without realizing that they became Bing Shi’s sacrificial lambs.

Turning on the TV, Xuan Mu placed Ying Xong on the mat behind the safety fence, “I’ll leave for only three days, so try not to burn down mommy’s beautiful house, ok?”

“Mommy, mommy,” not yet understanding the difference between days and hours, Ying Xong held the fence for support, his knees and head bouncing to the background music happily. The more they tried to make him talk, the less happy he was. But he understood when someone talked to him, and memorized some of mommy’s beats.

“...” Who would say such a thing to a child? The three people misunderstood and thought that he was unintentionally warning them to be careful not to break anything in the house.

After Xuan Mu left with Su Luqin, the boy thought his daddy went to the toilet and continued to dance to the music. He was taught that even when his parents were not in his line of sight, they didn’t abandon him. They were always somewhere close by. The living audience cheered and laughed every time his hips moved from right to left and left to right. They cheered for so long their throats turned sore and their clapping hands turned red.

Arriving at the underground garage, Su Luqin dismissed the man’s curious glances shyly, her smile humble, she finally got a chance to speak to Silika Lin’s husband again, “Is there something on my face?”

Xuan Mu’s lips curled up, observing his wife’s new errand girl, “Did anyone ever tell you that you have the most beautiful punching face?”

“How rude,” Su Lin’s white lotus act almost crumbled. It would stop working once the other party uncovered the truth. She looked up with resolute eyes, holding back her tears, “Mr. Kai can do whatever you want to me, I’m used to people treating me like a rag doll.”

Seeing her freezing up in anticipation the moment he touched her hand, Xuan Mu wrapped his pinky around hers, “I got your consent to do whatever I want with you, including shooting a bullet through your skull. Pinky promise.”

“What are you doing?” asking, Li Jie couldn’t choose a worse moment to appear.

“I’m signing a deal,” Xuan Mu walked towards Li Jie’s car, wiping off his hands, leaving behind an awkward woman. Su Luqin got better at hiding her true face but so what? He was more curious about why his wife wanted to create a copycat of herself? Seriously. Him? Rude? He just had the balls to say what everyone was thinking.

Starting the engine, Li Jie glanced at Xuan Mu’s hands that touched Su Luqin, “Does it make you feel disgusted?”

“Do I look like a clean freak to you?” Xuan Mu answered with a question, “No, I don’t feel disgusted. This is just a habit I picked up from my wife.”

Seeing Li Jie’s doubtful expression, Xuan Mu turned on his laptop and continued his unfinished work. Because his son blew up his plans, he needed a chauffeur to salvage some extra time, “She just doesn’t do it when others are around.”

When the music stopped, the boy looked around, recognizing his home. Luckily, it was still intact. There was nothing out of place except for the old couple. His small body continued to shake a little as if preparing for the next song, “Daddy.” He called out for his daddy to hurry up. The party was waiting.

The boy surprisingly behaved during feeding time too, it was only when it was time to change his diapers, did Ying Xiong cry for his daddy and beg for him to stop. The explosion was bigger than they expected.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin couldn’t hold down the hyperactive child. What’s worse, a power outage occurred, the water faucet broke and also, the painting on the wall dropped on the floor. The old couple suddenly felt as if they were inside a horror movie.

Mr. Lin quickly picked up the frightened Ying Xiong, but it was as if he just drunk a bottle of misfortune because he tripped and fell on the floor. The old man did his best in protecting Ying Xiong by using his own body.

“Dear!” Mrs. Lin shrieked in alarm, shaking the unconscious man. The crying child only worsened her mental state since she didn’t know what to do. She couldn’t leave the crime scene and she also couldn’t leave her beautiful grandson alone.

After thinking, she began to pick up the boy and then she rushed towards the entrance to ask the neighbors to help. Running through the dark hallway, she loudly knocked at every door, “Help me! Someone call the ambulance!”

She didn’t realize how her shrill voice stressed the baby boy even more. After Mrs. Lin tripped too, Ying Xiong cried out for his daddy, and in a panic, he was running through the dark hallway until his body collided with something hard. Looking up, his chest heaved up and down, hiccuping continuously.

Scrunching her nose, Bing Shi quickly used her jacket to wrap the half-naked toddler into a sushi roll, and carried him to the spare apartment. Putting him inside a bathtub, she gave him a soap bar and tested the water before pointing the showerhead at the grieving boy. The frustration of having an abnormally abnormal baby was excruciating, “Coming home should be one of the most beautiful things in the world, not the smelliest.”

Ying Xiong gave his soap bar for mommy to clean up his stinky body as he talked about his day, and the scary old woman, trying to explain that it was not his fault, “Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!” ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

“Stinky Bun, you are scarier than her,” Bing Shi conversed with the little parrot as if she understood what the boy tried to convey. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

Hubby said that he was a late talker too.

Hey, wasn’t Ying Xiong like a mini version of Xuan Mu? Hubby flatly refused. According to him, Ying Xiong yearned for parental love, while he was a rebellious kid that refused to listen to anybody and he sought external pain to kill his internal pain. It didn’t matter how much his parents showered him with love; he always hated them for giving birth to him.

Wrapping the refreshed toddler into a clean towel, the mother and son duo went to pick up something to wear. After she helped him to put on new diapers and the custom-made PJ’s covered in poop emojis, they went to check on her parents, who slowly regained consciousness. She told her parents to take a shower in the master bathroom while she took care of the mess.
