Transmigrating To The 80s To Become Stepmom To Five Bigwigs Chapter 420: A Princess Hug and a Prince Hug

Chapter 420: A Princess Hug and a Prince Hug

After being held like a human pillow for two days, Xiao Wu couldn't quite stand it anymore, especially during the afternoon nap. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it felt way too warm with Shao Xi hugging him.

Shao Xi's response to Xiao Wu's refusal was to pull Xiao Wu over his shoulder and leave. However, after being scolded by Mu Jingzhe, he switched to carrying him in his arms.

Xiao Wu's face turned red. "Put me down quickly. Only girls are carried this way!"

This was the 'princess hug' that Mommy had mentioned before. He wasn't a princess! He was a boy.

"It's fine even if you're a boy. When a boy is being carried this way, it's called a prince hug." Shao Xi reacted quickly. "You're thin and small now. If you don't want to be carried, you should take good care of yourself and put on some weight so I won't be able to lift you!"

Xiao Wu had nothing to live for and could only let him carry him. However, later on, he couldn't help but tell Mu Jingzhe that he didn't want Shao Xi to hug him. Mu Jingzhe said that it was good that they felt brotherly love for each other.

Mu Jingzhe wasn't deliberately teasing Xiao Wu. She really thought so, as when Xiao Wu was with Shao Xi, she saw Xiao Wu become vivid again. This time, Xiao Wu had come back less vivid than before and felt a little like a walking corpse. They had tried to think of a solution, but it only had a small effect.

However, it was different when he was with Shao Xi. Although Xiao Wu would have a dark expression on his face when he was with him, he was lively.

Besides, Shao Xi had adopted a different approach. He actually didn't care if Xiao Wu resisted or not and directly made him listen to his own tunes. In the end, this stroke of luck hit the mark. Xiao Wu's music seemed to be useful to him too.

Xiao Wu's tune had a healing effect to begin with. In the past, Xiao Wu had also unconsciously cured himself. No matter how complicated Xiao Wu's mood was, he was nonetheless subconsciously affected and cured by it.

Upon seeing this, Mu Jingzhe changed the way she treated Xiao Wu. They had been too careful with Xiao Wu previously, so perhaps they could be more casual now.

Without Mu Jingzhe reminding him, Shao Xi took care of Xiao Wu more and more freely. He really took care of him, but his method was very strange and he gave off the aura of a brat.

However, this method also made Xiao Wu relax. After being angered and annoyed so much, Xiao Wu slowly became a little like his old self.

Xiao Wu ate the food Shao Xi asked him to eat speechlessly every day and was tortured by him as though he was a human pillow. However, it was also because of this commotion and discomfort that Xiao Wu subconsciously knew that he had returned home to his mother and siblings. Therefore, although he complained about it, his body was very honest and he was eating and sleeping when he should.

Just like that, after a while, Xiao Wu finally gained weight. After careful observation, it was confirmed that Xiao Wu had finally grown by a centimeter.

Although it was only one centimeter, this was Xiao Wu's first growth spurt since he had stopped growing. It was the best transformation.

Mu Jingzhe and the others had been afraid that Xiao Wu wouldn't grow tall, but it seemed like there was no problem anymore.

Mu Jingzhe and the rest quickly took Xiao Wu to the hospital to see the doctor. The doctor was very happy to hear that. "It looks like you guys have been taking good care of him. Very good. Just keep it up in the future."

After hearing the doctor's praise, Shao Xi became even prouder and more confident. He even suggested, "I think just a diet alone is not enough. He also has to exercise. Xiao Wu should go to school soon. It's not good for him to take such a long leave."

Mu Jingzhe thought about it and agreed. "That's true. The final exam is coming up soon. It's time for him to go back to school."

It wasn't good for Xiao Wu to be kept in isolation. Going out would be beneficial to him.

Therefore, Xiao Wu was taken to school by Shao Xi again. Mu Jingzhe helped Xiao Wu cancel his leave. Mu Jingzhe explained Xiao Wu's previous abnormal behavior, as well as the fact that he had acknowledged Shao Qiyun, to the outside world by saying that Shao Qiyun had a mental problem. Xiao Wu had been forced to follow her to stop her from doing something foolish, but in the end, he hadn't succeeded.

In any case, the Gu and all that other stuff couldn't be mentioned casually. Now that Shao Qiyun had gone crazy, everyone accepted this explanation.

Both the teachers and the media slowly found out the reason for Xiao Wu's transformation. They all said that he was pitiful. Although his biological mother had gone overboard, he was still so loyal that he had ended up being tormented quite badly by Shao Qiyun.

When his cla.s.smates heard what Xiao Wu had gone through, their hearts ached for him. When Xiao Wu went back to school, he received all sorts of love and protection both from his teachers and cla.s.smates.

Their way of loving him and caring for him… sometimes left Xiao Wu completely speechless.

For example, when they went to the bathroom, they had to drag him along. Whenever a male cla.s.smate caught a bug, he had to share it with Xiao Wu, even offering to give it to him so he could scare a female cla.s.smate.

At the brat stage, when boys had a crush on a cla.s.smate, they had to scare the girl and pull her hair. Therefore, it was considered very generous of a male cla.s.smate to give Xiao Wu a bug.

Xiao Wu naturally didn't want it. The female cla.s.smates felt that Xiao Wu was great anyway and even asked him to play jump rope with them.

However, Xiao Wu wasn't interested in doing that either. Since he couldn't turn down their kindness, he could only act as their pillar.

The teachers cared a lot about Xiao Wu for no reason and even took Xiao Wu to listen to his tapes, praising him and expressing their fondness.

Xiao Wu really couldn't handle the enthusiasm of his cla.s.smates and teachers. Sometimes, he couldn't understand their actions and found them quite annoying. But due to all this annoyance, Xiao Wu didn't have time to think about anything else.

In school, he was bugged by the teachers and students, and after school, Shao Xi was there to annoy him. Xiao Wu's days were full. Slowly, he didn't have time to think about anything else.

After the final exam, Xiao Wu gained a little weight and even grew a bit taller. He became visibly livelier and looked a little like his old self.

When Old Master Ji personally came to take a look, he was filled with emotions.

"I don't know how to thank you. You're the best at caring for Xiao Wu."

Mu Jingzhe waved her hand. "I didn't do much. I merely tried to figure it out step by step."

Old Master Ji was so happy that he wanted to buy something for Xiao Wu. "I used to buy him musical instruments, but now I suddenly don't know what to buy for him. Do you think he'll still write music in the future?"

"I think so. There's no hurry, though. Maybe you can buy him some fish this time." Mu Jingzhe thought for a moment and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Xiao Wu likes fish. It might be good for him to raise fish."

Old Master Ji nodded. "Then let's let him raise fish."

Old Master Ji took action immediately. Besides, he didn't just buy a small fish tank. Instead, he brought over a big fish tank and placed in it a few fish that Mu Jingzhe didn't recognize or hadn't seen before.

"This fish has gorgeous looks and strong vitality. It won't die easily. It's perfect for Xiao Wu."

When Xiao Wu returned home and saw the beautiful fish tank with the pretty little fish that he had never seen before, he was delighted.

Coincidentally, Old Master Ji had given them twelve fish. Xiao Wu looked at them for a long time and could now recognize every single fish. He said that these fish were like all of them.

They looked like his siblings, his mommy, his daddy, as well as Grandpa, Grandma, and his uncles. Anyway, Xiao Wu could always find a fish that he thought was similar to each of them. He was happy to see the little fish swimming around.

Later on, Xiao Wu started to fall asleep while looking at the little fish. His insomnia at night was slowly cured.

Mu Jingzhe gently carried Xiao Wu back to bed and carefully ruffled his hair to check. She heaved a sigh of relief when she didn't see any white hair.
