Little Happy happily clung on to the man, gleefully saying they had already apologized. Unexpectedly, the man smacked gently on Little Happy’s head. “You’re capable, aren’t you?”

Little Happy didn’t mind that at all; on the contrary, he happily stroked his own head, revealing a large white set of teeth at his father. One could tell how much he loved his father.

Lin Nuan and Little Happy’s father each took their own “little bun” home.

Back at home, when Lin Nuan was bathing little Tuan Tuan, she discovered Tuan Tuan’s elbow was all bruised up. Her heart ached at the sight of this, but she couldn’t say it was Tuan Tuan’s fault under those circumstances.

Seeing the tiny Tuan Tuan naked and with soap bubbles all over, rubbing his little elbow on a little stool, Lin Nuan squatted next to Tuan Tuan and asked, “Does it hurt?”

Tuan Tuan shook his head, grinning widely at Lin Nuan because he feared she might worry for him. “Doesn’t hurt!”

Knowing Tuan Tuan couldn’t speak well but had a meticulous heart, Lin Nuan knew he was afraid she might be worried about him, making her heart ache all the more for him. She took the little towel from Tuan Tuan’s hands and said to him, “Shall Mama help you bathe?”

Tuan Tuan nodded and just sat there obediently, humming a tune Lin Nuan didn’t know as he played with bubbles.

After rinsing the fair and soft little Tuan Tuan clean with water, Lin Nuan wrapped him in a large bath towel and carried him out of the bathroom.

Tuan Tuan sat on the bed, falling left and right due to Lin Nuan’s rubbing actions. When she got to his armpits, Tuan Tuan giggled from the sensation and kept dodging.

After putting on clothes properly, the mother-and-son duo played for a little while. Little Tuan Tuan then recalled Little Candy, who kept asking to be his wife, so he looked up at Lin Nuan. “Mama, I… want to visit Little Candy.”

Over these several months, Tuan Tuan started to speak a lot better than previously.

Lin Nuan stared at little Tuan Tuan, then recalled the incident when Little Candy had stolen her mother’s phone and called her with Tuan Tuan. She had saved Little Candy’s mother’s number back then. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “Then… let’s give Little Candy’s mother a call to see if it’s convenient for us to visit Little Candy, okay?”

Tuan Tuan was kneeling on the bed like a little golden boy, gazing at Lin Nuan as he nodded profusely. It looked like starlight had been accidentally scattered into his eyes.

Lin Nuan hadn’t expected Little Candy’s mother to have stored her number as well; the moment she picked up the phone, she addressed Lin Nuan as Tuan Tuan’s mother.

Lin Nuan told Little Candy’s mother what happened at the kindergarten today, in a nutshell. Little Candy’s mother was initially furious when she heard her daughter had been called fatherless by other kids. But after listening to the entire story, she learned that although Little Candy was injured, those two kids who insulted them weren’t much better off; their faces and elbows were covered with claw marks. It was only then that Little Candy’s mother was appeased. She even apologized to Lin Nuan, saying that it was her Little Candy that implicated Tuan Tuan in this.

Lin Nuan laughed and told Little Candy’s mother not to be too formal. After a few more words, on the other end of the line, Little Candy was noisily ranting and asking to speak to Tuan Tuan.

Lin Nuan then passed the phone over to Tuan Tuan, who was staring at her. Tuan Tuan was kneeling on the bed, his two chubby little hands clawing at Lin Nuan’s elbow as he pressed the phone to his little ear.

“Tuan Tuan!” Little Candy’s booming voice rang out over the phone. Lin Nuan got a shock even though she was a distance away.

Tuan Tuan also shifted his ear away a little. Although he felt a ringing sound in his ears, he still answered with a blank and adorable look on his face. “En!”

“Tuan Tuan, Tuan Tuan! Did you win the fight in the end?” Little Candy asked in a firm tone.

Tuan Tuan shook his head, then realized Little Candy wasn’t standing before him, so he pressed his little mouth close to the mouthpiece and said, “No…”

His tone was one of righteous indignation; he didn’t win…

Little Candy said, “En, never mind, I didn’t win either! But it’s okay. Just wait until I get back to kindergarten, I’ll surely be able to win against them! Granny says this is called when the going gets tough, the tough get going! I’ll beat them until they call me boss!”

Little Candy’s mother couldn’t bear to listen any further, lecturing her, “You can try and see what happens!”

“My head is injured, you can’t hit me!”

Little Candy’s mother seemed to be picking up slippers on the other end of the line…

“If you whack me with slippers, Granny will whip you with a feather duster!”

Lin Nuan couldn’t resist laughing out loud. Tuan Tuan stared blankly at his mother.

Little Candy’s mother took over the phone. Lin Nuan then asked if it was convenient for them to visit Little Candy.

Right now, Little Candy was being given intravenous fluids. Upon hearing Tuan Tuan’s mother say that she was going to come to visit with Tuan Tuan, she didn’t stand on ceremony, shouting into the phone, “I want to eat the KFC family bucket!”

“Little Candy, are you asking for a beating?”

“But Granny says you can’t visit a sick person empty-handed! I’m only asking for a family bucket!”

“That’s when you visit a sick person. You’re not one!”

“I’m an injured person!”

“You still have the cheek to say this! How did your injury come about? Who told you to fight in the kindergarten? Are you itching for a beating? Do you know that there’s no kindergarten in the entire Haicheng that dares to take you in now!”

“Granny said this of you before, and you said… if one gets injured, she’s an injured person! I’m injured today too!”

Little Candy’s mother was speechless.

On the other end of the line, the mother-and-daughter were bickering back and forth, making it hard for Lin Nuan to hold back her laughter.

On the way to the hospital, Lin Nuan did buy a family bucket for Little Candy, as she had requested.

It was just that Lin Nuan’s family bucket got there a little too late; by the time she arrived with Tuan Tuan and the family bucket, Little Candy had an IV injected in one hand, while her other hand was holding a greasy-looking chicken thigh. She was biting into it with her eyes reddened, and her gaze lowered.

Tang Zheng, who had a bandage on his nose, was standing by the side, his chest heaving up and down violently. Little Candy’s mother had a darkened expression as well. It seemed like the two of them had a heated discussion and couldn’t come to an agreement.

Seeing Lin Nuan arrive with Tuan Tuan, Tang Zheng didn’t know why she had come and was a little surprised. “Sis-in-law? Are you here to see Old Madam Fu and Old Master Fu?”

Lin Nuan paused momentarily; she hadn’t expected Fu Qingquan and Old Madam Fu to be staying at this hospital too.

Since that was the case, then Fu Huai’an must be in the hospital as well…

Catching the surprised look on Lin Nuan’s face, Tang Zheng guessed that Lin Nuan must not have known, so he just smiled slightly.

Lin Nuan explained, “Tuan Tuan was worried and wanted to visit Little Candy.”

There was some gauze on Little Candy’s forehead. Realizing that Tuan Tuan and Lin Nuan were there, she raised her head.

The tiny Tuan Tuan was carrying the piping hot KFC family bucket in his arms as he bounced over to Little Candy, who was being given an IV on the bed right now. He tiptoed and placed the family bucket on the bed, then obediently stared at Little Candy, whose eyes were reddened.

Lin Nuan could tell Little Candy was unhappy. She gave a slight smile and sat down by the side of the bed. After glancing at Little Candy, she said to Tuan Tuan, “Tuan Tuan, Little Candy is unhappy. Shall we coax Little Candy?”

Tuan Tuan nodded, then was stumped. Tuan Tuan had no idea how to coax Little Candy. His little hand pulled at the edge of the bed as he gave the matter some serious thought, his brows furrowing together.

This expression was so adorable… Tang Zheng and You Nainai were tickled looking at him.
