Forced Me to Regress, Huh?

After Old Cheng left the private room, Xu Yun immediately approached. “I told you. Aren’t they beautiful?”

“Well, compared to when you were young, they’re still a little lacking.” Old Cheng never missed an opportunity to flatter his wife.

“Go away. It’s meaningless if you’re too fake.” Xu Yun rolled her eyes at him.

The two of them speculated that Cheng Zhu must have met these friends through Jiang Wanzhou.

Cheng Zhu had a bit of a wild personality and was uninhibited, which his parents knew.

But because of his personality, they felt more at ease with him.

In the eyes of middle-aged people, when there was too much of a gap in economic status, it was often hard for friends to remain close.

For many parents, if they were from an ordinary background and their child suddenly started hanging out with a group of rich second-generation heirs who showed up to dinner in three luxury cars, their first reaction was often worry.

At the same time, they might also feel insecure.

Parents often compared themselves to the parents of these friends, and some might even feel a sense of guilt towards their own children.

But speaking of which, Cheng Zhu had always had the face of a school bully since childhood. He looked somewhat roguish, but he had never done anything that truly worried his parents.

Old Cheng and Xu Yun were generally at ease with him.

Thus, one returned to the kitchen to cook, while the other continued tallying accounts at the cash register.

Previously, they had suspected Cheng Zhu of dating, but now, curiously, they no longer considered this possibility.

Inside the private room, Little Youzi was doing her summer homework.

But with the room so lively, she found it impossible to focus.

Lin Lu and Shen Qingning sat on either side of her, curious about what kind of homework a kindergarten child could have.

“Did we have homework when we were in kindergarten?” Lin Lu asked.

“I can’t remember,” Shen Qingning replied.

Cheng Zhu looked at them and said, “Her summer homework is optional. It doesn’t matter if she finishes it. The kindergarten doesn’t have strict requirements.

“But she loves learning,” he added, caught between tears and laughter.

Indeed, some children developed a strong passion for learning when they were young, only for this enthusiasm to suddenly fade away as they got a bit older.

Hearing her brother praise her for loving to learn, Little Youzi quietly straightened her back and raised her little face, as though she had been commended.

Jiang Wanzhou, munching on the smashed cucumber salad, asked, “Little Youzi, tell Big Brother Little Jiang what your homework is today. I’ll tutor you. I’m definitely better than your brother.”

“No way!” Cheng You immediately retorted.

Jiang Wanzhou didn’t get annoyed. He smiled and said. “Why not? I’m great at teaching kids.”

Hearing this, Cheng Zhu didn’t say anything more.

He knew that Jiang Wanzhou was indeed good in this aspect. CEO Little Jiang was a compassionate person who often visited orphanages and connected effortlessly with the children there.

In his past life, Cheng Zhu thought that the most impressive thing this guy had done was fund the construction of a Hope Primary School using money he earned himself.

At that moment, Cheng Zhu felt that this guy truly looked like a domineering CEO.

Lin Lu asked curiously, “Little Youzi, tell me, what’s your homework today?”

Cheng You said, “The teacher told us to memorize three poems over the summer. Any poem is okay.”

The private room immediately became lively.

Who didn’t know a few poems?

Moreover, since they were teaching a kindergartener, they would definitely choose something simple. As long as they weren’t illiterate, everyone had something in their head.

The room quickly filled with chatter, giving Cheng Zhu a headache.

There was no helping it. With Jiang Wanzhou, Shen Minglang, and Lin Lu gathered, these three live people made it impossible for things not to get rowdy.

Jiang Wanzhou started reciting, “Goose, Goose, Goose.”

Lin Lu, eager to get Little Youzi’s attention, activated her special talent and actually… mimicked a goose’s call?

Shen Minglang loudly objected from the side, insisting she should memorize Quiet Night Thought instead of Goose, Goose, Goose.

His reasoning was bizarre. He had noticed that Yunlai Restaurant’s menu included salted goose.

“The restaurant must go through countless geese a year, and you’re singing about them craning their necks to the sky. They’re already cooked. Try singing to them now.”

What kind of logic was that?!

Listening to the three’s antics, Shen Qingning only thought they were really noisy.

Cheng You glanced from one to another, unable to process all the information coming from these three weirdos.

Of course, most of her attention was focused on Lin Lu’s goose imitation.

Rather than thinking she was silly, the little girl found this big sister very amazing.

Lin Lu saw the sparkle in her eyes and immediately started speaking to her in the voice of Crayon Shin-chan, completely forgetting that she was supposed to be teaching her a poem.

Shen Qingning couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Weren’t you supposed to teach her a poem? What are you three doing?”

Among everyone present, only Cheng Zhu wasn’t intimidated by Shen Qingning. The other three actually had a bit of fear of her, so they immediately quieted down.

Cheng Zhu also spoke up. “The dishes are coming soon. At this rate, she won’t memorize a single poem before dinner.”

Lin Lu countered, “How can it be easy for a little kid to memorize a poem? She definitely can’t do it in such a short time.

“I was really slow at memorizing poems when I was little,” she added.

“It depends on what kind of poem it is.” Cheng Zhu shrugged.

Jiang Wanzhou retorted, “Then why don’t you do it?”

“Sure. What if I can?” Cheng Zhu looked at him.

“Then I’ll admit you’re amazing!” Jiang Wanzhou said.

As a stand-up comedian once said, boys were really simple creatures. They liked to make small bets, and sometimes, there was no need for a stake at all.

It was like when the two guys were walking down the street, and suddenly one of them said, “If you can touch that leaf over there, then I’ll admit you’re amazing.”

Who could resist jumping up to touch the leaf?

And while jumping, you’d have to show off and say, “Are you kidding me? How the hell can I not reach it?!”

Phrases like, ‘You’re amazing’, ‘You’re awesome’, “I’m in awe of you’… were simply the highest honors in the male world.

Hearing what Jiang Wanzhou said, Cheng Zhu had only one thought. Oh, then I’m going to get serious!

In an instant, everyone’s attention was on him.

Cheng Zhu said to Little Youzi, “Give me your notebook and pencil.”

He quickly started writing in the notebook, his penmanship elegant and smooth.

Cheng Zhu’s idea was simple. Children took longer to memorize things because their world was different from ours.

Their ability to understand was also different from that of adults.

What kind of poem could a child memorize quickly?

Naturally, it was a poem written by children themselves!

He quickly wrote a children’s poem on the paper.

“Dark clouds and white clouds got married,

We cheered,

Picking up the wedding candy they dropped.

—Rain. “

This poem seemed like something a third-grader would write.

After writing it down, he still felt a bit unsatisfied. He looked at the streetlights outside the window and couldn’t resist writing a widely circulated poem written by a seven-year-old child.

Before he started writing, he glanced at Jiang Wanzhou. “I’ll show you what true talent is, what it means to be half-innocent, half-divine!”

The energetic voice actress walked behind Cheng Zhu like a curious cat to see what he was writing.

Cheng Zhu held a pencil and quickly wrote.

“Lamp:

The lamp,

burned a hole in the dark night. “

“Done!” Cheng Zhu put down the pencil and even turned his head to smile cheekily at Lin Lu. “I bet you couldn’t have memorized a poem like when you were little, could you?”

Lin Lu, watching from behind him, smacked him and said in annoyance, “Ah! Cheng Zhu, you’re shameless!”

The others watched the back-and-forth between the two and were instantly drawn in.
