Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Shrewd Baby Chi
Having returned from the Golden Villa Area, Li Beijue’s face was dark and grim.
He didn’t press his thin lips tightly together until he reached the doorway of Zijing Garden, where he opened the door.
As soon as he entered the entryway, he heard Baby Chi’s milky voice, “Woman, I helped the teacher make Little Red Flowers today, and the teacher praised me.”
“Look, here’s my daily feedback journal.” He stepped in his big slippers and handed over the journal that recorded his daily performance in the kindergarten to Chi Enen.
“Let me see.” Chi Enen put down what she was doing and took the journal, flipping to today’s page. Indeed, the teacher had written about his help at the kindergarten and had placed two Little Red Flowers in the performance column. Chi Enen closed the journal, seeing he really wanted to be praised yet trying to appear nonchalant. She held back a laugh, touched the top of his head, and praised him, “My Baby is so awesome~!”
“It’s just one more Little Red Flower than the others, not that amazing.” He slightly lifted his little chin, seemingly saying it offhandedly.
Chi Enen immediately understood, “Does everyone else only get one Little Red Flower?”
The question was exactly what Baby Chi wanted to talk about, and he even put on a dissatisfied look, chastising Chi Enen, “Woman, you don’t care about me. You don’t even know that you get a Little Red Flower for good behavior at the kindergarten, and none for bad behavior!”
Of course she knew, but wasn’t she just pretending not to know to accommodate his little vanity? Chi Enen inwardly scoffed while feigning surprise on the surface, “You only get one Little Red Flower for good behavior? How come you have two today?”
Chi Jingchen put his little feet into a pigeon-toed pose, slightly lifted his pretty little chin, and gave off a rather haughty vibe, “Of course, it’s because I performed extremely well!”
“My Baby is so awesome.” Chi Enen pinched his soft little face and smiled with her eyes, “Keep up the good work next time.”
But Chi Jingchen just pouted his mouth, like a little adult complaining, “I know the teacher just uses these Little Red Flowers to trick children. Those who obey get one; those who don’t, don’t. This way, we’ll compare with each other and compete to be the obedient child.”
“…” Could he be seeing things a bit too clearly?
Knowing this, why was he still happy about getting the Little Red Flowers, indirectly wanting her to praise him?
Chi Jingchen seemed to sense her confusion, his bright eyes blinking shrewdly, “Being an obedient child means being praised and cherished by the teacher. If there’s a time when you’re not obedient, the teacher will still choose to believe the normally obedient child. So why disobey? There’s no advantage to misbehaving.”
Chi Enen felt a surge of black lines, “Bae Chi, is there nothing but benefits in your little head? Actually, when we do something, we don’t necessarily have to do it just for the benefits.”
“Of course you do it for the benefits, why waste your time and energy otherwise?” Chi Jingchen, young as he was, already knew how to stick to his guns, “I might as well spend that time and energy on things that are beneficial to me.”
Thinking this way, what would he become when he grew up? A person who only cared about profits? Chi Enen was considering how to provide him with an example, “Then what about Ruoruo? Do you only play with her because there’s a benefit for you?”
That snot worm? The image of a little girl in a princess dress with a round apple face, who followed him around every day calling him Brother, came to Chi Jingchen’s mind. He scrunched up his little eyebrows, unwilling to admit, “I play with her for the sake of her father, who are you to blame when you didn’t tell me from the start that my biological father isn’t some shameless irresponsible man?”
