- Chapter 123: Extra - Nan Yi's Little Dumpling
When He Siyi was three years old, he turned into a little chubby boy.
Just like an adorable dumpling.
The reason for He Siyi’s chubbiness? An overly indulgent alpha father and two younger alpha brothers.
Even the usually stern He Zhang, when facing the little treasure, couldn’t help but dote on him excessively.
He Siyi could be described as a little omega who grew up surrounded by indulgence.
Nan Yi would often look at the chubby little one with a touch of distress.
To prevent He Siyi from gaining more weight, Nan Yi started to control his snack intake and his finicky eating habits.
“Daddy, I don’t want greens.”
At mealtime, little Siyi pushed the greens Nan Yi had placed into his bowl to one side with his chopsticks.
Instinctively, Nan Yi reached out with his chopsticks, intending to remove the greens from the little omega’s bowl.
Just as he was about to, he noticed the little dumpling’s bright eyes fixed on the ribs in front of He Yu Shen.
He Siyi: “Daddy, I want meat.”
He Yu Shen, with adoration in his voice, responded: “Alright, let’s give our little treasure some meat.”
Nan Yi: …
Retracting his chopsticks, Nan Yi added more greens to He Siyi’s bowl.
“No being picky. Eat the greens. And as for you, he’s only allowed this one piece of rib tonight.”
He Siyi, whose eyes were previously smiling, instantly pouted: “Ah! Why, daddy~”
He Yu Shen, looking puzzled, asked: “What’s the matter, dear?”
Did their family go bankrupt? Even if his wife wanted to be thrifty, she wouldn’t starve the child.
Nan Yi glanced again at the pouty-faced little dumpling: “Our little treasure has become so chubby; we can’t let him be picky anymore.”
Hearing this, He Yu Shen’s gaze fell on little Siyi: “He’s not fat. All kids are like this. It’s just baby fat.”
Nan Yi: …
“From now on, you’re not to buy snacks for our little treasure. As for He Siyi, he’s only allowed one small cake a day.”
He Yu Shen brought home either a small cake or a bag of snacks every day after work. The biggest refrigerator in the kitchen was packed with He Si Yi’s treats – high-calorie, sugary snacks. It’s a wonder the young omega wasn’t gaining weight.
“Ah! Daddy~ I won’t be happy without a small cake.”
He Si Yi’s specialties? Acting spoiled and being coquettish.
“Being cute won’t help, and besides, in a couple of days, you’ll be starting kindergarten where snacks aren’t allowed.”
He Si Yi had turned three, making him eligible to attend kindergarten.
During a pause in Nan Yi’s conversation, He Yu Shen was attempting to sneak a rib into little Si Yi’s bowl.
Nan Yi shot a glance at his stealthy maneuver, clearing his throat, “Honey, he can’t have any more tonight.”
He Yu Shen: surprised look
“Alright, I’ll listen to my wife.” The rib, originally meant for He Si Yi’s bowl, took a detour and landed in Nan Yi’s bowl instead.
The alpha wore a playful grin on his face.
He Si Yi’s attention had shifted from the rib. He exclaimed in his babyish voice, “I get to go to school!”
The joy in the little one’s demeanor made Nan Yi laugh. He ruffled He Si Yi’s hair, softly saying, “Yes, you’ll start next Monday along with your brother, Jian Jian.”
While He Si Yi was three, Lin Yun Jian was already four, a little alpha who had spent a year in kindergarten.
Ever since Lin Yun Jian, who often came to play, began attending kindergarten, the young one envied and wished to join school too.
To appease him, He Yu Shen even bought him a mini backpack in advance.
The little fellow often strolled around the yard, donning his backpack and carrying a children’s picture book inside.
He Si Yi declared, “I want to wear the little frog backpack Daddy bought me!”
Due to Nan Yi’s affection for cute green frogs, He Yu Shen, almost subconsciously, always chose frog-themed items for He Si Yi.
Over time, He Si Yi’s preferences aligned with Nan Yi’s.
Nan Yi responded, “Alright, make sure to finish your greens today.”
He Si Yi nodded vigorously, “Mm-hmm!”
He Yu Shen watched the two omegas with a contented smile. His two darlings were so easy to please.
Obediently, He Si Yi finished every bit of the greens and every grain of rice in his bowl.
Nanyi was satisfied watching the rare well-behaved He Siyi.
He Siyi: “Daddy! I’m done eating.”
Nanyi: “My good little dumpling.”
He Siyi frowned unhappily: “I’m not a little dumpling, I’m daddy’s darling.”
He Siyi’s eyes resembled He Yushen’s, but paired with his not-so-sharp nose bridge and button nose, as well as a petite mouth like Nanyi’s, gave an overall cute and delicate look.
He Yushen indulgently hugged the little one: “Also daddy’s darling.”
Sitting in the alpha’s embrace, little He Siyi pressed his chubby hand over He Yushen’s approaching mouth: “Mm, don’t want daddy to hug.”
“Why don’t you want daddy’s hugs? Doesn’t my darling love daddy anymore?” The alpha pretended to be aggrieved.
Nanyi teased the pretending-to-be-wronged alpha: “You always smother his face in kisses, no wonder he doesn’t want your hugs.”
He Siyi jumped down from He Yushen’s arms and ran to Nanyi’s side, craning his head up: “Dad, call Uncle Yin, I want to chat with Brother An’an.”
He Yushen’s brows knitted. Before Nanyi could speak, he directly refused: “Don’t call him. That Bai Shan’yao brat looks nothing like a good alpha. He’ll definitely become a scumbag alpha when grown, tricking nice omega families.”
Over the past two years, due to the connection with Nan Yi Yin Feng, He Yu Shen and Bai Shan Yao have had many collaborations.
He Yu Shen has always been discontented about the time Bai Shan Yao, in a drunken state at a dinner, brazenly addressed him as a future in-law.
He Si Yi, with wide eyes, turned around and pouted, looking at her alpha dad like a little adult. She said, “Daddy, how can you talk about kids like that? You’re embarrassing!”
He Yu Shen averted his eyes in embarrassment and cleared his throat to cover it up, “Little treasure, you shouldn’t talk about your dad for someone else’s sake.”
Nan Yi interjected their childish conversation, “Alright, alright, I’m calling him for you.”
Nan Yi initiated a video call with Yin Feng. The screen displayed the handsome face of Bai Yu An.
Nan Yi glanced at the ordinarily handsome face of the young alpha from Yin Feng’s family and then at the round-faced He Si Yi.
Nan Yi: “…”
“Brother An An!” Holding the phone, He Si Yi took steps with her little short legs, speaking while struggling to climb the stairs.
He Yu Shen: “Honey, let’s have our little treasure sleep on her own tonight.”
He Yu Shen sat down next to Nan Yi, lowering his head to eat the piece of food Nan Yi had picked up for him.
Noticing the underlying message in Alpha’s words, a blush spread across Nan Yi’s cheeks.
With a bashful tone, he said, “Wasn’t it just a few days ago that we… you know…”
This time, He Yu Shen directly wrapped his arms around Nan Yi’s waist and buried his head on his shoulder, whispering, “It’s been two days. I can hardly restrain myself,” as he playfully nibbled on the delicate tip of Nan Yi’s ear.
Nan Yi found himself getting flustered by the provocative gesture and the seductive tone of Alpha’s voice.
“Is that okay, darling?”
With a teasing cringe, Nan Yi pushed Alpha’s head away, “I heard you…”
“You’re the best, darling. I’m off to take a shower and put the baby to sleep now!”
“There’s no rush…” Nan Yi’s voice trailed off.
Alpha was already dashing up the stairs.
He’s so impatient, just like a young, eager boy.
Nan Yi’s cheeks turned an even deeper shade of red.
