Over here, Chu Xiaoqiao and the others are handling their affairs, while Qin Xue, who returned home earlier, is preparing some food to bring to Ji Yan and his sister later on.
"Xue’er, I’m back. What delicious food have you made?" Chu Molin smelled the aroma as he reached the doorstep, and once he entered, the scent was truly mouthwatering.
"Making some food for the siblings. Wash your hands and eat; after dinner, we’ll head out." Qin Xue had their family dinner ready early, waiting for Chu Molin to e back, now greeting him to eat so they can leave.
"Okay, sounds good." Chu Molin spent the whole day dealing with office work, which was quite exhausting. Now he can have dinner, of course, they should eat first before anything else.
But how should he put it? If they have their fill first, and then bring the food over, it’s going to be a bit late for them. Yet if he doesn’t eat, his wife might be hungry, and he’d feel bad. Ultimately, he decided eating first was better.
After the family finished dinner, they packed up things to head out, leaving the children in Xue Ling’s care.
If it weren’t for the lack of someone watching the kids, Xue Ling wouldn’t leave Qin Xue’s side.
Seeing the situation, it’s quite helpless, really, and can only take it one step at a time.
No matter what, some things are better left for later. Otherwise, thinking too much isn’t helpful; without watching the children, it can’t feel at ease, nor can Qin Xue. If anything happens to the kids, no one’s going to be happy.
Therefore, thinking too much isn’t as good as doing what’s right.
But how to say this well, Xue Ling thought about it but didn’t e up with any good solutions. Forget it, just take things step by step.
Xue Ling thought about its own matters, and after Qin Xue and the others left, it quickly closed the door and led the children into the room; it still had to check their homework and guide them on their practices.
Anyway, for it, the current task is to do what’s best for Qin Xue, and that’s what it’ll do.
As for others, they’re not its concern. Even if it wanted to intervene, it’s too mentally draining.
It’s just Xue Ling’s own thought, otherwise, others might say, "With your small stature, what can you manage?"
It has grown a bit, though still not obvious unless looked closely.
This bit makes Xue Ling happy. If it changed too much at once, it’d be quite frustrating since it worries about many things. If it did anything reckless and was turned into soup, then that’d be quite a loss.
Being a clever little fox, it won’t do such things but instead think on how to improve.
"Start reviewing what I’ve taught you before. I will check individually later, especially you, Yu Chen; if you don’t get serious, I will be stricter with you in the future." Xue Ling didn’t say it won’t teach them anymore. To it, Yu Chen is Qin Xue’s son, its little master, and it won’t abandon its master.
It’s just going to stick to its own ways, potentially stricter, because there’s truth in strict teachers producing diligent students.
"Understood, Master, let’s begin." Of course, Yu Chen knows he doesn’t learn as well as his brother, but he isn’t too bad either. With Xue Ling urging him to work harder, he can only agree, not daring to disagree.
So, regardless of how much he doesn’t want to, he won’t oppose. Better focus on improving himself; he doesn’t want to remain this behind.
