Chapter 1495. Roll The Dice? 2
It was already late at night, and Maple Residence was shrouded in the dark sky full of lonely stars. After dinner, Xi Xiaye bathed Mu Zirui carefully. She also helped him to change into his clean pajamas before taking him back to his room. Mu Yuchen went through all his homework with him tacitly and tucked him to bed only after he had finished his homework.
“Daddy, I don’t actually need to take a break from school. I hurt my arm, not my brain, so there’s no need to stay at home from school,” Mu Zirui pulled the blanket to cover his body and insisted to Mu Yuchen, who was also drawing his blanket over him by the bedside.
“Your professionalism is about to catch up with your mother’s already. Okay, don’t overexert yourself. Taking a few days off won’t do you any harm anyway. You see, Daddy can’t even rest even when I want to. Don’t other kids think about how can they loaf on their studies now and then?” As Mu Yuchen said so, he reached out and rubbed Mu Zirui’s little head.
“Did you often play truant and skip class when you were young, Daddy?” Mu Zirui blinked his eyes and stared at Mu Yuchen.
“Of course not. Your father used to be a great student. I could get the ‘Triple-A Student’ award every semester, and scholarships were just the cherries on the top. Back then, studying wasn’t as easy as it is now. When it comes to studying, you should always strive to reach the top. Whenever you’re studying, you must devote all your efforts to it so that you won’t waste any time. Do you remember that quote from Theodore Roosevelt?” Mu Yuchen said in his deep voice.
Mu Zirui nodded his head swiftly. “Of course I do. ‘When you play, play hard; when you work, don’t play at all!’ Mum told me about his stories last month. He’s quite a legend.”
“Your mother told you about him? Since when did she become so knowledgeable? But that studies slacker can only show off in front of you.” A hint of amusement was sensed in Mu Yuchen’s deep tone while he then patted Mu Zirui’s little head.
“Daddy, are you saying that Mommy is a studies slacker?” Mu Zirui was so sharp that he caught the keywords in Mu Yuchen’s statement.
“How’s that possible? Daddy was the studies slacker. Mommy was a study scholar, a super study scholar! Alright, now go to sleep and get up earlier tomorrow. We’ll go pay Great-grandpa and the others a visit. Have you been missing your little brother?”
