Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Ji Yuan looked at Li Jianjian, who was still sleeping in bed.

He sat down by the bed and shook Li Jianjian.

"Jianjian, wake up."

Li Jianjian responded by making an "Mmm" sound, and then mumbled something incoherently.

Why aren't you getting up?

Ji Yuan leaned close to Li Jianjian's ear and whispered, "You ate candy."

"I want it, I want to eat it."

Li Jianjian woke up immediately and sat up groggily.

"Finished."

Ji Yuan smiled and said again.

"Um!?"

Li Jianjian opened her eyes wide and looked at Ji Yuan.

"Go wash up and have breakfast."

Ji Yuan rubbed Li Jianjian's messy hair.

Li Jianjian pouted angrily and stared at Ji Yuan.

I'll buy you candy after I finish eating.

Ji Yuan spoke up.

Li Jianjian's angry expression immediately turned into a smile: "Brother Ji Yuan, you're so kind~"

Ji Yuan rolled her eyes.

"Go wash up quickly."

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he walked outside.

"Coming, coming~"

Li Jianjian immediately got out of bed and rushed to the toilet.

……

After breakfast, Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian went out to play. Ji Yuan didn't lie to Li Jianjian and took her to the convenience store to buy her two lollipops.

Li Jianjian happily ate her lollipop.

Ji Yuan looked at Li Jianjian: "It's okay to like eating sweets, but you can't eat too many, and you still need to brush your teeth properly."

Li Jianjian nodded: "Mmm-hmm~"

You're right as long as I get candy.

The two soon arrived at the noodle shop.

When he returned, he saw that Aunt Qian, who also lived in the same community, was chatting with Li Haichao.

However, given Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian's current age, they should be called Grandma Qian.

They seemed to be talking about changing clothes and who they were going to meet.

Li Jianjian didn't quite understand.

However, knowing that they were going out to meet people, she immediately asked, "Grandma Qian, where are you going?"

Grandma Qian smiled and patted Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian's heads: "Little Ji, Little Jianjian, shall we go to the park to play?"

"Oh, okay, okay! I want to play goldfish fishing, and I want to play with water guns!"

Li Jianjian cheered happily.

Ji Yuan remained silent.

Silly child, you won't be laughing in a moment.

Ji Yuan knew that Granny Qian was taking Li Haichao to a blind date.

He certainly wouldn't have any objections to Li Haichao finding someone else.

After all, he's not his biological father, just his godfather and future father-in-law.

You also cannot interfere in other people's private lives.

……

A coffee shop.

Grandma Qian led Li Haichao, Ji Yuan, and Li Jianjian to meet He Mei and He Mei's son, He Ziqiu.

At this moment, Li Jianjian realized what was happening.

His dad is going on a blind date!

Li Jianjian immediately became very angry, glaring at He Ziqiu across from her.

She is still very young and recently lost her mother.

Currently, there is a strong resistance to stepmothers.

This is not her fault; it's just a normal child's worry and fear.

Grandma Qian then introduced the two parties with a smile.

“He Mei, this is the Li Haichao I told you about. This is Haichao’s daughter, Li Jianjian, and his godson, Ji Yuan.”

"Hai Chao, this is He Mei and her son He Ziqiu."

If you ask me, you two are really a good match. One of you runs a noodle shop, and the other works at a cosmetics counter. Both of you have jobs that protect you from the elements.

Why don't you two get to know each other?

Li Haichao looked at He Mei and nodded with a smile.

He Mei smiled and extended her hand: "Hello, He Mei."

"Hello, Li Haichao."

Li Haichao quickly reached out his hand.

"Ziqiu, say hello."

He Mei looked at He Ziqiu as she spoke.

He Ziqiu looked up at Li Haichao and said, "Hello, Uncle."

"Hello, let's shake hands."

Li Haichao smiled and squatted down to shake hands with He Ziqiu.

Li Haichao really likes children.

"So cute, how old are you?"

"Seven years old."

"You're seven years old now. Let me introduce you to a younger brother and sister."

As Li Haichao spoke, he turned to look at Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian behind him.

Just as he was about to call out to Li Jianjian, Li Jianjian angrily slapped Li Haichao.

"Humph!"

He snorted, then grabbed Ji Yuan and ran out.

"Xiao Jian, Xiao Ji..."

Li Haichao quickly got up and shouted, wanting to chase after them.

Seeing this, Granny Qian quickly stopped Li Haichao: "You two talk, leave the child to me."

Granny Qian quickly caught up with him.

The three of them stood still, with He Ziqiu looking outside.

Seeing this, He Mei told He Ziqiu to go out and play as well.

Then He Mei and Li Haichao sat down and started chatting.

Actually, Li Haichao came to find a partner only a year after his wife died. It wasn't because he was fickle; it was just that several of his neighbors and the neighborhood committee aunties had been nagging him to find someone.

You keep saying you don't think about yourself, but you should at least think about your child.

Little Jianjian is a girl, she really can't do without her mother.

Also, when Xiaojian goes to school, her classmates will ask, "Why do you only have a dad and no mom?" That would be so awkward.

Li Haichao is easily persuaded; he was convinced by the words of his neighbor, an older woman.

I thought I'd come and meet them.

At least I have to deal with these middle-aged women in my neighborhood for now.

These neighborhood aunties have such sharp tongues!

Many times, you can't say anything.

……

After Li Jianjian dragged Ji Yuan out, she angrily shouted, "Vixen!"

After shouting, Li Jianjian looked at Ji Yuan with some worry: "Brother Ji Yuan, Daddy isn't really going to marry that vixen, is he?"

I don't want a stepmother.

Ji Yuan squeezed Li Jianjian's little hand: "Don't worry, it's not certain yet."

"That vixen is so beautiful, what if she bewitches Daddy?"

Li Jianjian was still very worried.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here. If you ever have a stepmother and she treats you badly, I'll back you up."

Ji Yuan assured Li Jianjian.

Li Jianjian nodded: "Yes! Brother Jiyuan, if Dad really finds a stepmother, can I move in with you? I don't want to live with my stepmother."

"Fine, do whatever you want."

Ji Yuan coaxed Li Jianjian.

"hey-hey."

Li Jianjian finally smiled happily.

"You two kids, running so fast! Come on, Grandma will take you to the park."

At this moment, Granny Qian caught up.

"Row!"

Li Jianjian smiled and nodded, temporarily putting Li Haichao's blind date out of her mind.

At this moment, He Ziqiu also ran over.

When Li Jianjian saw He Ziqiu, her smile vanished instantly, replaced by anger.

When Granny Qian saw He Ziqiu, she smiled and said, "Ziqiu is here too. Let's go to the park together."

As she spoke, Grandma Qian took He Ziqiu's hand with one hand and Li Jianjian's hand with the other. Li Jianjian, in turn, took Ji Yuan's hand with the other. The four of them, one adult and three children, walked toward the park not far away.

As he walked, He Ziqiu kept glancing at Li Jianjian and Ji Yuan.

Li Jianjian was also looking at He Ziqiu, but her angry expression and eyes made it seem as if she wanted to devour him.

He Ziqiu is He Mei's son. Li Jianjian doesn't want a stepmother, so she dislikes He Mei.

Then, naturally, he began to dislike He Mei's son.
