Chapter 28: Starting Today, I’m Moving Back In

"You You, shall we go downstairs and play with the toy car?"

The toy car was the gift he had brought for the little one today.

It was a black, limited-edition sports car, incredibly cool and imposing—no little boy could resist its allure.

But the clever little one didn’t agree right away. Instead, he clung to Brother Tang Dou’s shoulder.

Perking up his little ears and darting his big eyes, he carefully observed his surroundings.

Only after confirming that there were no more of those sharp, frightening sounds did the little one finally loosen his grip.

Brother Xiao Tang had been holding him for a long time; his arms must be getting tired.

The little one obediently reached out his small hands toward Brother Shen Lin, asking to be held.

Once he had the little milk bun back in his arms, Shen Lin forgot about everything else. He touched noses with the little one and carried him off to play with the sports car.

As Shen Lin held him, the little one’s position shifted, allowing him to see what he hadn’t noticed before.

"It’s a fairy~" The little one stretched his small hand toward the fairy-like brother in flowing white robes, his eyes sparkling.

The unexpected, babyish voice caught Shen Yan off guard, and he finally got a clear look at the little one’s face.

Good-looking children naturally win people’s affection. As someone who prided himself on being a hardcore looks-obsessed person, Shen Yan couldn’t help but fall for the adorable little one the moment he saw Su Youli.

The little one had rosy lips and pearly white teeth, with big, round eyes that seemed freshly washed. Perhaps because he was feeling warm, the little curls on his forehead were damp with sweat, making them even more pronounced.

Shen Lin took the little one’s hand and waved it toward Shen Yan. "That’s Shen Yan, our big brother."

Su Youli, still stunned by the sight of the "fairy," murmured blankly, "Big bro~"

Shen Yan’s heart melted instantly, completely captivated by the little one’s cuteness.

Su Youli was placed inside the sports car by Shen Lin, his small hands gripping the steering wheel.

Shen Lin controlled the car’s speed and direction with a remote from behind. The little one was super excited, driving the car around the living room with pure joy.

Children are like that—easily distracted by fun and games.

Tang Dou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw how protective Shen Lin was of Su Youli. He hoped today’s events wouldn’t have a negative impact on the little one.

Watching the smile on the child’s face, Tang Dou straightened his collar, which had been wrinkled by the little one earlier.

His expression turned serious as he nodded slightly to Shen Yan and Shen Minyan. "Chairman Shen, Young Master, may we have a talk?"

Tang Dou had studied child psychology since his undergraduate years. After earning a government scholarship to study abroad, he deepened his expertise overseas before returning to the country.

He had absolute confidence in his professional skills and genuinely sympathized with You You’s circumstances.

Soon, Shen Minyan and Shen Yan sat together, while Tang Dou sat across from them, his hands resting on his knees.

The young man’s voice was as clear and pleasant as his appearance—the kind of person who might not seem striking at first but gradually revealed his charm over time.

As Tang Dou spoke slowly and clearly about how the little one had overheard Shen Minyan and Shen Lin arguing earlier in the villa, Shen Minyan felt a rare sense of embarrassment, his thin lips pressing together.

You You had only been home for a short time, yet he had already witnessed such a scene.

"Xiao Tang, thank you."

Shen Minyan sincerely thanked him for quickly diverting the little one’s attention and comforting him when he heard the argument.

Shen Yan turned to look at the little one, who was now tired from driving and being held by Shen Lin as he played happily in the car. He couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.

"Children’s hearts are actually very sensitive. They understand more than we think," Tang Dou said, glancing at Shen Minyan.

Although what he was about to say touched on private matters, for the sake of the little one’s future, he felt it necessary to continue. "Especially since You You experienced something traumatic in his early years. After finally living with his two fathers for three years, he had to part with them again and adapt to a new environment."

"Even for adults, suddenly leaving loved ones and adjusting to a new place takes time, let alone for a child."

Shen Yan sighed and turned to his father. "Dad, from now on, please don’t hit Shen Lin in front of You You."

At the very least, he should avoid doing it where the child can see.

Shen Minyan flared up. "If that little rascal would just listen, would I have to hit him?"

To be honest, although Shen Minyan seemed fierce, he held little sway over Shen Lin.

The father’s words carried no weight—the little devil Shen Lin simply didn’t listen to him.

"Starting today, I’m moving back in," Shen Yan announced decisively.

Shen Minyan was taken aback. Three years ago, after Chu Ying divorced him, Shen Yan had left the Shen family with her.

Although he returned for holidays and family meals, he never stayed overnight.

Shen Minyan felt a stir of emotion. "What about your mother?"

Shen Yan smiled. "Mom found out about You You’s return a couple of days ago. She’s been cooperating with her treatment and plans to come see You You herself soon."

At the mention of Chu Ying, Shen Minyan’s shoulders visibly stiffened. Would she really come?

Shen Yan had no interest in his father’s feelings. Instead, he listened intently to Tang Dou’s advice.

Especially regarding how to care for a child in a new environment—addressing their daily needs, soothing their emotions, and helping them adapt quickly.

Ten minutes later, Shen Yan looked at the densely packed notes he had taken, feeling slightly overwhelmed.

This was harder than memorizing lines!

The fair, soft little one snuggled in his brother’s arms. After lapping the spacious living room a few times in his toy car, he began to lose interest.

When Shen Lin realized he hadn’t heard his brother’s laughter for a while, he looked down and saw the little one tilting his head, clearly gazing in the direction of the "fairy brother."

"You You, what are you looking at?" Shen Lin pinched his soft, chubby cheeks.

Su Youli pointed. "The fairy." The fairy still hadn’t flown away.

Shen Lin said, "I told you, that’s our big brother. He’s an actor—he looks like that because of makeup."

For Su Youli, who was just over three years old and had never been exposed to makeup, this was an entirely unfamiliar concept.

The little one scratched his face in confusion. What was his brother talking about? He couldn’t understand a word.

By the time the conversation in the living room ended, Su Youli had already fallen asleep in Shen Lin’s arms.

Shen Lin grew anxious. Hadn’t his brother just taken a nap earlier? Why was he sleeping again now?

He tapped the little one's cheek and called out to him softly.

Su Youli showed no reaction at all.

Shen Lin: !!!

"Brother, come quick and see what's wrong with You You!"

The adults present felt their hearts sink and hurried over to the little car.

The Shen father and sons were visibly panicked. Shen Minyan's temples throbbed, and his hands trembled slightly as he pulled out his phone. By the time he dialed the family doctor's number, he realized his assistant, Zhang Shun, was already standing beside him.
