Beijing Colors Lingering

Time flies like sand, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Zijin and Zhou Ji'an officially enrolled in Beijing No. 1 International Private Kindergarten.

Both children have been carefully and meticulously raised as heirs of the Zhou family. How they choose their careers in the future will depend entirely on their own interests and abilities.

Regarding the children's education, Zhou Yancong and Shen Jinsui discussed the matter seriously with several tutors. Considering their current age, they decided that the siblings would attend various interest classes and etiquette lessons at home after school every afternoon at 3 pm.

As for the two days on the weekend, only Saturday afternoon is scheduled for classes. The rest of the time is for them to play and rest freely. Other holidays will be arranged according to the specific circumstances.

If Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong have time, they will personally pick up the two siblings from kindergarten and take them home.

The two children are at a lively and active age, and they also have many strange and quirky questions.

One day, Zhou Zijing asked curiously, "Mom and Dad, how did my brother and I come to be?"

Zhou Ji'an then asked, "Mom and Dad, my classmates at kindergarten said they were picked up from the trash can. What about me and my sister?"

Shen Jinsui smiled upon hearing this and gestured for Zhou Yancong to answer their questions.

Zhou Yancong pondered for a while before speaking slowly: "Because Dad loves Mom, and Mom loves Dad, that's why you two exist."

Zhou Zijin and Zhou Ji'an nodded as if they understood.

Zhou Zijin then asked, "Will my brother and I have a younger brother or sister?"

Zhou Yancong answered without hesitation: "No, Mom and Dad will always only have you two children."

Zhou Zijin and Zhou Ji'an nodded again.

On a sunny afternoon, Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong went to pick up their brother and sister from kindergarten.

On the way back to the manor, Zhou Zijing turned to look at Shen Jinsui, blinked her bright, round eyes, and then said in a soft, sweet voice, "Mom, I want to raise a few Kapibals."

Shen Jinsui gently patted her daughter's head and asked softly, "Kapibala? Is it a small animal?"

“Yes, Mom.” Zhou Zijing nodded, smiled sweetly, gestured a few times with her hands, and continued, “It’s a small animal that looks like a big rat, very cute.”

Sitting opposite them, Zhou Ji'an spoke up at the right moment: "Mom, Capibara is a capybara. It's not a small animal. It will grow to be very big."

After listening to her son's words, Shen Jinsui looked at her daughter and replied gently, "Okay, then Mom will buy you Kapibala."

"Thank you, Mom!" Zhou Zijing clapped her hands happily.

Shen Jinsui looked at her son again and asked, "An'an, is there any small animal you'd like to keep?"

She and Zhou Yancong always treated their two children equally, which is why they needed to ask Zhou Ji'an.

Zhou Ji'an thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "Mom, I don't want to keep any pets."

Zhou Yancong gazed at his wife and two children, silently memorizing their conversation.

After the family of four returned to Jingsheng Manor, Zhou Yancong immediately instructed people to prepare for the purchase of Kapibala.

That very evening, the manor's head butler crammed on all the knowledge about Kapibala.

The next day, he methodically arranged for the estate's employees to begin building a special place to keep Capibalas, in a house near the horse farm.

A week later, the eight Kapibals were delivered to Jingsheng Manor.

After Zhou Zijing got home from school, she hurriedly pulled Zhou Ji'an to see Kapibala, with several servants following behind them.

Zhou Zijing stretched out her fingers and counted carefully; there were eight Kapibala in total.

She clapped her hands excitedly and grabbed Zhou Ji'an's arm, "Brother, we have eight Kapibals in our family now, they are all so cute!"

Zhou Ji'an glanced at the several Kapibals soaking in the pool. They were all motionless, looking completely dazed, like oversized mice.

I really don't know what's so cute about her?

Zhou Ji'an glanced at his sister, who was beaming with joy and standing by the pool with green grass in her hand, wanting to feed Kapibala.

Not wanting to spoil his sister's good mood, he casually chimed in, "Yeah, they are kind of cute."

When Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong arrived, several Kapibals were lying by the pool, and the siblings were feeding them.

Shen Jinsui tugged at Zhou Yancong's arm, "The capybara really looks like a big rat, it's just too dull."

Zhou Yancong casually put his arm around her shoulder. "Indeed, but capybaras have a very stable temperament and are suitable for keeping children company."

Upon hearing their parents' voices, Zhou Zijing and Zhou Ji'an immediately put down the green grass they were holding, washed their hands at the sink, and then walked over to them, calling out in unison, "Mom, Dad."

Shen Jinsui looked at her daughter and slowly said, "From now on, you will be the owner of these capybaras. You need to care about their health and take good care of them."

Zhou Zijin nodded seriously, "Mom, I understand. I will come to see them every day."

Zhou Ji'an also promised, "Mom, I will also help my sister take good care of them."

Zhou Yancong patted the heads of the brother and sister and said with satisfaction, "That's what good children are like."

-

After a long while, the night grew darker.

In the top-floor bedroom of the main building of Jingsheng Manor.

Just as Shen Jinsui was starting her skincare routine, the doorbell rang.

Seeing this, Zhou Yancong went over and opened the door. He saw Zhou Zijin and Zhou Ji'an standing outside and asked, "Why are you here? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Zhou Zijing's lips curved into a smile, and her sweet, soft voice rang out: "Dad, I want to sleep with Mom tonight."

"I came up here with my sister," Zhou Ji'an said calmly.

Zhou Yancong refused them without hesitation: "No, you're big kids now, you can't sleep with us anymore."

Zhou Zijin weakly emphasized, "Dad, I want to sleep with Mom."

Zhou Yancong said with a serious expression, "That won't work either. My wife can only sleep with me."

"Hmph, Daddy is a big bad guy." Zhou Zijing pouted, her face clearly showing her unhappiness.

Zhou Yancong ignored his daughter and looked directly at the servants behind him, instructing, "Take them back to their rooms to rest."

Zhou Zijin and Zhou Ji'an's bedrooms are downstairs; both children have their own large, independent room.

Shen Jinsui had already finished applying her skincare products. After standing up, she saw that only Zhou Yancong was walking over. She asked in confusion, "Why did Jingjing and An'an leave?"

She had just heard the brother and sister's voices and guessed they wanted to sleep with them.

Zhou Yancong reached out and pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and rested his chin on the crook of her neck. "Jingjing and An'an have grown up and can no longer sleep with us. They would only disturb us."

Shen Jinsui: "..."

Zhou Yancong tilted his head and kissed her ear, whispering ambiguously, "Wife, we should go to sleep."

The scorching heat sprayed on Shen Jinsui's ear, and she trembled slightly. She raised her hand and hugged Zhou Yancong's waist.

The next second, Zhou Yancong easily picked her up.
