Hand yourself over to the nation, and may the dragon god's offspring bring prosperity to the en

On You Huai's birthday, Long Xiaoxiao got up very early. She hadn't slept well all night because she was excited. When Yuan Wang opened his eyes, he saw a little Long Xiaoxiao yawning all the time.

"Why so early?" Yuan Wang asked in surprise. He bent down, picked up Long Xiaoxiao, and carried her to the dining table before putting her down. He then hurriedly went into the kitchen to fry some eggs for Long Xiaoxiao.

Long Xiaoxiao yawned, her eyes showing dark circles, looking rather pitiful, but her tone was still cheerful: "Going to celebrate my birthday!"

Although it wasn't Long Xiaoxiao's birthday, that didn't stop her from being happy.

Dragons in the magical world also have the custom of celebrating birthdays, but unlike those in the modern world, they celebrate with the first rains of spring, because spring is the season when dragon eggs hatch, and the falling rain usually signifies the birth of baby dragons.

Long Xiaoxiao's thoughts suddenly drifted back to the magical world. Thinking of her family, her originally excited emotions subsided slightly, and she silently stared into space.

It wasn't until Yuan Wang brought out the fried eggs that Long Xiaoxiao snapped out of her reverie. Looking at the three eggs on the plate, Long Xiaoxiao suddenly asked seriously, "Sister, do you know what one plus two equals?"

Once a child learns a new skill, they are always eager to show it to their elders again and again. Yuan Wang understood Long Xiaoxiao's thoughts as soon as he heard this, so he smiled and shook his head: "What does it equal?"

"It equals three!" Long Xiaoxiao said, grinning happily.

Since You Huai only wanted to celebrate his birthday with Long Xiaoxiao, after discussing it with his mother, he simply handed over the entire birthday banquet to Yuan Wang to handle, and the venue was set at Yuan Wang's home.

However, to You Huai's surprise, Yuan Wang also invited his kindergarten classmate.

Yuan Wang didn't think too much about it. Although he knew that You Huai and Long Xiaoxiao had a disagreement with someone at kindergarten, he thought that children would make up the next day after a fight. Moreover, many children were on You Huai and Long Xiaoxiao's side. So when he heard You Huai's mother's request, he simply asked her to help invite You Huai's classmates.

Ever since Long Xiaoxiao caused a scene at the kindergarten on behalf of You Huai, the children there have developed a strange admiration for the two of them. So when they received the invitation, they didn’t hesitate to beg their parents to send them over.

You Huai and Long Xiaoxiao stood hand in hand in the garden, staring in disbelief at the people coming and going at the gate.

Long Xiaoxiao was already a popular figure in the kindergarten. Many children would rush over to her as soon as they saw her, chattering excitedly around her.

Long Xiaoxiao has always enjoyed socializing, and now that someone has taken the initiative to talk to her, she is naturally happy to chat with them one by one.

Amidst this lively atmosphere, You Huai, who was holding Long Xiaoxiao's hand, seemed rather unhappy. However, when Long Xiaoxiao's gaze swept over him, he still forced a smile.

Why did they take his little one away? You Huai felt a little wronged.

Yuan Wang was greeting students at the entrance when he saw Song Xing and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Director Song?"

Song Xing, holding Li Zixuan's hand, saw Yuan Wang and smiled as she waved to him, explaining, "I brought my nephew over."

Yuan Wang then realized that Song Xing was holding a child's hand. Looking down, he saw that it was the same chubby boy who had fought with Long Xiaoxiao earlier.

When Li Zixuan saw Yuan Wang staring at him, his face flushed slightly. He pursed his lips in embarrassment and whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bullied Xiaoxiao and You Huai before."

Despite the unexpected apology, Yuan Wang immediately lowered her guard. She had always believed that most of the child's problems stemmed from the parents, and since the child was now able to admit and correct his mistakes, she certainly wouldn't hold any prejudice against him.

"It's alright, go inside. Xiaoxiao and Youhuai are in the garden, go find them and play," Yuan Wang said gently, stepping aside to let Li Zixuan in.

After dropping their children off, parents usually leave to go to work or stroll around the neighborhood, without disturbing the children's gathering.

However, Song Xing was clearly unaware of this. He craned his neck and peered into the garden. Yuan Wang noticed his movement and stepped forward slightly to block his view.

"Is there anything else?" Yuan Wang asked calmly.

Song Xing laughed a little awkwardly. He scratched the back of his head and asked, "Why didn't Xiao Xiao come out?"

"She's playing with her classmates. Why is she out in the cold wind?" Yuan Wang's tone was anything but polite. Ever since the Luo Zongshan incident, Yuan Wang hadn't given Song Xing a friendly look.

"Um... I wanted to ask, does Xiaoxiao have any plans to pursue a career in the entertainment industry?" Song Xing asked tentatively.

Yuan Wang frowned slightly: "Hmm?"

Song Xing quickly explained, "Xiao Xiao is very popular with the public now, and she is very talented. Whether she acts or becomes an idol, she will definitely become popular."

Yuan Wang shook his head and replied coldly, "We don't lack this little bit of money from the entertainment industry."

Does Yuan Wang really expect Long Xiaoxiao to support herself?

Upon hearing this, Song Xing was speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say. After hesitating for a few seconds, he could only try to persuade Yuan Wang from another angle: "Xiao Xiao herself also enjoys acting. You can ask Xiao Xiao what she thinks first."

Yuan Wang's eyes flickered. These words did persuade Yuan Wang. If Long Xiaoxiao wanted to go, she definitely wouldn't stop her.

Seeing that Yuan Wang was softening, Song Xing quickly made an excuse to leave, lest Yuan Wang refuse again.

While the two were talking, the garden had become noisy, with children chattering away, making a surprisingly loud and chaotic noise.

Everyone was around five or six years old, the age when they were most eager to express themselves. Their mouths never stopped, and they kept talking. Long Xiaoxiao was among them and didn't seem tired at all. Her excited appearance showed no signs of her staying up all night.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go inside and eat cake?" In the end, You Huai couldn't stand the noise anymore and tugged at Long Xiaoxiao's sleeve to remind her.

Long Xiaoxiao reluctantly shut her mouth and took You Huai's hand as they walked into the house.

At this moment, Yuan Wang also entered the house through the door. Inside, three aunties were preparing meals and taking care of the children, and they were all very busy.

Li Zixuan stood on tiptoe and peered through the crowd before finally finding Long Xiaoxiao's location. He quickly went over, and despite You Huai's death stare, smiled and said to Long Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao!"

Since the last time the three of them teamed up to play a game, Li Zixuan has been completely captivated by Long Xiaoxiao and has become her number one fan.

Long Xiaoxiao waved happily when she saw her familiar friend: "Zixuan, you're here!"

When You Huai saw Li Zixuan running towards them, his face grew increasingly pale, and he gripped Long Xiaoxiao's clothes tighter and tighter.
