In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband

So Tuantuan, after graduating from kindergarten, smoothly received his primary school admission notice.

By September, he had smoothly become a primary school student.

At the same time, Sui Sui also smoothly entered kindergarten.

Sui Sui and Tuantuan could be said to be two extremes.

Tuantuan was quiet, very quiet, while Sui Sui was lively, the sort that could turn the world upside down.

At home, Xu Jinzhi and the others still had parental authority to keep Sui Sui in check, and although lively, he was still manageable, but at kindergarten, Sui Sui fully unleashed his true self.

Teacher Xiao Huang, after teaching Tuantuan’s cohort, returned to the kindergarten class to start teaching Sui Sui.

Knowing that Xu Yanxi was Xie Zhihuai’s little sister, and coupled with Sui Sui’s very well-behaved first impression, Teacher Xiao Huang took a liking to her instantly.

Only she had never imagined that she was deceived by Xu Yanxi’s adorable exterior.

And after Tuantuan started primary school, he felt for the first time that he might be a bit slow.

He wasn’t like the other children who could speak fluent English, weren’t good at public speaking, dancing, or playing the piano.

More importantly, he was even struggling with the textbooks.

One day, Tuantuan came home a bit later than usual, but Xie Yanchuan and Xu Jinzhi didn’t know, as their return from work was even later.

However, once it was time to eat, Xie Yanchuan quickly noticed something off about Tuantuan.

Tuantuan had always been quiet, and he was quiet today too, but it was a different kind of quiet, one that Xie Yanchuan detected immediately.

So, Xie Yanchuan glanced at Xu Jinzhi, who was a bit slow on the uptake and didn’t quite catch Xie Yanchuan’s meaning.

With a sense of helplessness, Xie Yanchuan decided to talk with Tuantuan after dinner to get clarity before informing Xu Jinzhi. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

After the meal, Tuantuan wanted to go back to his small study to do homework, and Xie Yanchuan took the opportunity to bring fruit to Tuantuan’s study.

As soon as he entered, Xie Yanchuan saw Tuantuan with a furrowed brow and felt a pang of worry in his heart.

"Tuantuan, you seem unhappy today, did something happen?" Xie Yanchuan sat beside him, asking with a gentle voice.

Tuantuan pursed his lips and didn’t speak, but couldn’t help his eyes reddening; what started as irritation had now turned into sorrow.

"Tuantuan, no matter what happens, you can always talk to Dad," Xie Yanchuan continued reassuringly.

Tuantuan was silent for a while before finally saying, "Dad, am I a very stupid kid?"

Xie Yanchuan was taken aback, "Why would Tuantuan think that?"

"Today, the teacher asked us to memorize a poem, but I couldn’t remember it even after reading it for a long time," Tuantuan said, sounding very discouraged.

He was really trying hard, but he just couldn’t grasp it, everyone else could, but he couldn’t.

"Dad, I’m really so dumb," Tuantuan felt terrible, but he didn’t know what to do, "Dad, if I’m this stupid, will you still like me?"

Xie Yanchuan felt extremely distressed, reached out to pull Tuantuan up, then let him sit on his lap.

Actually, Tuantuan was already over six, soon to be seven, and Xie Yanchuan rarely held Tuantuan anymore.

But in this moment, Xie Yanchuan still took Tuantuan into his arms to comfort him, softly saying, "Mom and Dad will always love Tuantuan."

"But adults like smart children," Tuantuan said in a muffled voice.

"That’s not true," Xie Yanchuan said with firm conviction, "If someone only likes smart people, that’s definitely their problem."

Tuantuan didn’t understand, and Xie Yanchuan didn’t expect him to grasp it just then, but there were some things he still needed to say.

"Tuantuan, everyone is born different, you don’t have to make yourself like others."

"Each person is good at different things, look at Daddy who can cook, and Mommy who can’t; do you think Mommy is dumb?"

Tuantuan immediately shook his head, "Mommy is very impressive."

Tuantuan knew his mommy was very impressive; many people said she was.

"Then Mommy can speak French, and Daddy can’t understand; do you think Daddy is dumb?"

Tuantuan shook his head again.

"Then why would Tuantuan call himself dumb? Not being able to recite ancient poems is just something you’re not good at, aren’t you good at playing with blocks?"

"You can make lots of things out of blocks, something others can’t do."

"Tuantuan, you don’t need to compare yourself with others; just growing up healthy and happy is enough to make Daddy and Mommy very happy," Xie Yanchuan said earnestly as he looked at Tuantuan.

He really didn’t have any expectations for Tuantuan; he himself was considered mediocre among these powerful families.

So all he wished was for Tuantuan to be healthy and happy.

Isn’t life just about these few decades?

After consoling Tuantuan, it was only then that Xie Yanchuan talked about this matter with Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi was somewhat at a loss, as she hadn’t realized something was amiss immediately. Having heard about it from Xie Yanchuan, she didn’t know how to comfort Tuantuan.

In her past life, there had never been such a situation.

Luckily, Xie Yanchuan was there, otherwise, she would’ve been truly helpless.

In the years that followed, Tuantuan was still the student with average grades.

He managed to just scrape by at school, and during family gatherings at holidays, relatives couldn’t help comparing the children of the younger generation.

But Tuantuan really was a child raised in love; he didn’t care about the judgments of outsiders, for he knew that those who truly loved him wouldn’t stop loving him just because of poor test scores.

Sui Sui, on the other hand, was smart; too smart for his own good.

Xie Yanchuan had never felt ashamed of Tuantuan’s subpar grades, but now he felt somewhat powerless with Sui Sui being complained about every other day.

Today apologizing to the teacher, tomorrow to the parents, constantly cleaning up the messes Sui Sui created.

Fortunately, even if Sui Sui was mischievous, he wasn’t a child with a completely bad intent; every time he could explain himself well, using logic that left Xie Yanchuan, a respectable professor, at a loss for words.

Xie Yanchuan could only bear with it.

What else could he do?

After all, they were his own children; he couldn’t just abandon them.

Once Sui Sui started primary school, having Tuantuan there seemed to calm him down somewhat, and Xie Yanchuan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

It was somewhat amusing to talk about; when the adults spoke, Sui Sui always had countless reasons ready, always ready to argue whenever anyone talked about her.

But when it was Tuantuan, it just took his simple words to make Sui Sui behave, even if reluctantly, she would still listen.

At this, both Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan were at a loss for words.

But no matter what, someone could control Sui Sui, the little terror, and that was something good.
