The reason why Zhan Xi saw this video was because Ling Qi asked him to watch it.
Although Ling Qi doesn't check the Star Network very often, he still checks it sometimes, especially since he has been checking things online frequently recently, so it is normal for him to see this video.
When he read it for the first time, he was still not sure.
After watching it for the second and third time, he said nothing and just let Zhan Xi look at the hot searches on Star Network.
The video on the hot search was also on the homepage of the anti-fraud official website. A bunch of official accounts were reposting this example, with a paragraph of educational words attached.
Below the video, a group of netizens are gathering in the comment section.
"Am I dazzled? Why do I see my baby in this video?"
"Help! How come Ningzai is in the anti-fraud video?"
"Fuck, my kid was tricked into mining!"
"Ningzi is so miserable. I want to laugh."
The baby in the video looks so miserable that everyone who sees it would say he is pitiful. But when netizens think that this poor baby is Ning who has been embarrassed on the Star Network since he was a child, they can't help laughing.
Not to mention the Empire Star Network, even the Federation Star Network saw this video.
The Marshal was in a good mood until he received news from Ludwig.
Ludwig: “Yes?”
Tang En: "Yes."
Ludwig: "How are you feeling?"
Tang En: "Not bad."
Ludwig: “[Video].”
After Ludwig finished playing the video, he fell silent.
Tang En looked at the video, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes. He turned on the video, and a few minutes later, his good mood was gradually wiped out by his own son's self-introduction while he was holding back tears.
He was a federal marshal, famous throughout the world, but his own son was tricked into mining.
The Marshal had a blank expression on his face. He didn't want to show up in public recently for fear of embarrassment.
Tang En felt embarrassed watching the video, and Zhan Xi was not much better.
After looking at it several times, he still didn't dare to confirm: "Is this really my baby? Impossible, Ningzi went out with Wagner and the others this time."
These kids are not stupid at ordinary times!
The parents were so embarrassed that they doubted their lives, and the cubs that were sent back had no idea they had been on TV.
They were sitting together, having a serious meeting.
"We must not let the adults know that we were deceived!"
"That's right! Otherwise we won't be able to hold our heads up high in the future."
"But what about our money?"
Lele's pocket money has always been subsidized by Savi, so he has no shortage of it. But this time, the star coins are all his savings. If he can't get the star coins back, he and Savi will have no pocket money in the future.
"That auntie said she would help us get it back. If we can't get it back, I'll take you to pick up scraps to make money!"
Ningzai, who was very experienced in picking up scraps, had a serious face and gave everyone some advice. Among the guys present, he was the one who worked most of the time as a part-time worker.
He has done everything, including picking up scraps, working at construction sites, and playing games with others.
Wagner's pocket money used to be on the same level as Xizel's, but after becoming friends with Ningzi, his marshal father also became friends with Zhanxi.
With the parenting tips he learned from Zhan Xi, the Marshal cut off his son's extravagant pocket money.
"well."
Wagner thought about his suddenly lost savings and sighed heavily. After sighing, he cheered up again: "If I really can't get the money back, forget it. I'll go home and ask my dad for some more this time."
"Will your father give it to you?"
"Of course I will."
Wagner was quite confident: "Anyway, he doesn't know I was cheated."
Although Wagner's pocket money was limited, he still had more money than Ningzai. At least the money he was cheated of this time was not borrowed.
"Ningzi, I'll send you star coins after we get back. Do you want 1,000 or how much?"
"About 1,000. I'm going to return them to my father and his family. I'll pay you back when I make some money."
After careful consideration, Ningzai quietly borrowed 1,000 star coins from Wagner to repay his debt.
At the end of the several meetings, they unanimously decided to keep the fact that they were cheated a secret. Anyone who told anyone about it would be a traitor!
After the meeting, the cubs who took different routes had no time to get together and play.
"Ningzi, we'll talk about it after we get back."
"Um!"
Without his friends to accompany him, Ningzai felt a little lonely going home alone.
His star machine was confiscated by the teacher of the institution. This time when he returns home, he wants to buy another one.
It costs money to buy a star plane. Ningzai, who was sitting on the spaceship, held his chin and thought seriously, and asked who wanted an unused star plane.
My brother’s star machine doesn’t seem to be broken yet, so I guess he won’t get a new one.
I don't know how long the spaceship has been flying.
When the spaceship landed, the kids in it were still sleeping.
No one urged him to work, and no one made him go mining on an empty stomach. The sleeping boy was dreaming comfortably.
"Jane Ning."
"Student Jian Ning, wake up."
The rescuer who was in charge of escorting Ning Zai woke him up from his sleep and informed him in a gentle voice: "We have arrived at White Mist Star. Do you have your parents' contact information? Give it to me."
Jian Ning: “…”
Jane Ning said sleepily: "What do you want the parents' contact information for?"
"We'll notify your parents to pick you up."
The rescuer's words made the sleepy baby wake up instantly.
"No, no need to notify!"
Jane Ning hurriedly got up, tidied her clothes, and said, "I can go home by myself. I'm familiar with this place."
He has lived on Baiwu Star for many years. If you throw him to Baiwu Star casually, he can find his way back.
"Uncle and aunt, goodbye, you don't have to see me off."
Jane Ning came out of the spaceship, carrying her empty backpack. After saying hello to her uncle and aunt, she ran away holding the strap of her backpack.
He struggled hard between the two options of going home to find his father and going to the palace to find his brother.
After struggling for a long time, he finally chose his father.
There was no choice, he had to go back to see his father because school was about to start.
Dad still has to send him to school.
Returning to the familiar streets of Baiwuxing and seeing familiar neighbors again, Sheniuzi waved his little hands and greeted everyone one by one.
But I don’t know why, but when they greeted him this time, several uncles and aunts pinched his little face with pity, saying that he looked so pitiful and had lost weight.
"I'm not very pathetic."
Jane Ning realized that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she said vigilantly: "I'm not very thin either."
Neighbor:"… "
The neighbors looked at him, seeming to find it both funny and distressing.
After greeting his neighbors, he decisively ran back home.
"dad!"
"Uncle Ling Qi!"
"I'm back!"
When the kid got home, his voice was already heard throughout the yard before he even ran into it. After he finished shouting at everyone, he saw his father coming out of the main room.
After not seeing his father for more than a month, the kid who left home still missed him very much. He rushed over and buried his head in his father's arms: "Dad, did you miss me?!"
Zhan Xi: “…”
To be honest, he thought about it before he saw the anti-fraud video that went viral on the Internet.
But now, he just wants to be alone.
"Dad, I miss you so much."
The kid, who had been wronged outside, couldn't hold back his emotions when he returned home. He rubbed himself in his father's arms, his voice full of pity.
Zhan Xi looked down at the aggrieved baby in his arms. After a few seconds, he sighed resignedly.
well.
never mind.
No matter how embarrassing it is, it is still his child and there is no way to return it.
Zhan Xi, resigned to his fate, raised his hand and rubbed the baby's head. He asked in a low voice, "Are you doing well out there?"
"not good."
Without even a second's hesitation, the baby in my arms shouted, "Not good at all."
The world outside is too chaotic, not at all better than Baiwu Star.
The father and son hugged each other for a while. The child, who was comforted by his father's arms, sniffed and asked, "Dad, where is Uncle Lingqi?"
"I went out to buy you some glutinous rice balls."
Zhan Xi said, pulling him forward and examining him carefully.
After this trip outside, his baby was visibly hurt. It seems that vegetable soup can really help lose weight.
"Go take a shower and change your clothes. By the time you're done, your uncle Lingqi should be back."
"Um!"
Jane Ning has grown up and no longer needs his father to bathe and change his clothes. He goes back to his little room by himself, takes a bath, and changes into clean clothes before coming out.
Not long after he came back, Ling Qi, who had gone out to buy something, also came back.
"Ningzi."
Ling Qi walked in and handed him a bag of strawberries: "Here you go, they're still fresh."
Fresh strawberries, hot glutinous rice balls, and prepared meals in the kitchen—these are all the taste of home.
Sitting at the dinner table, Jian Ning almost wanted to set his ambition to be a stay-at-home mom.
After dinner, Zhan Xi packed his schoolbag and asked him, "Do you like the pattern of this schoolbag? I think it has a large capacity and can hold a lot of books."
"Dad, I like it cooler."
The kid who has entered middle school no longer pursues cuteness. He pointed at the dinosaur on the schoolbag and made his own suggestion: "Can you change it to a skull next time?"
Zhan Xi: “?”
Zhan Xi's eyelids twitched: "No."
Don’t even think about bringing skulls or anything like that back home, little brat.
The address of the middle school is a bit far away, and Zhan Xi is hesitating between moving and changing cars.
The school allows accommodation, but since his son has never lived in a school, Zhan Xi doesn't plan to let him live there too early. He can consider accommodation when the college entrance examination is approaching.
"Okay, you have a good rest today, and dad will drive you to school tomorrow."
Zhan Xi saw that it was getting late, so he didn't want to waste his kid's rest time. He put down his schoolbag, put away the clothes he would wear the next day, and turned around to go out.
From beginning to end, Zhan Xi never asked about the star coins.
"Dad, do you have any unwanted Star Machines at home?"
Seeing that his father was about to leave, the cub without a star machine had to speak up.
Zhan Xi: “…”
Even the Star Machine is gone, his cub has really suffered a great loss this time.
"have."
Zhan Xi didn't ask any more questions, but just brought him a new model of Star Machine: "Here, this is a gift for you to get into middle school."
The latest model of the Star Machine also comes with a box with a star pattern on it.
The kid's eyes lit up when he received the new phone.
“This star machine is so beautiful!”
"Just enjoy it, but don't play for too long at night, or you'll get beaten."
Zhan Xi saw how happy he was and a smile appeared on his face as well.
"dad."
The kid opened the box, held the Star Machine in one hand, and came over to hug his father: "When I grow up a little bit, I will be filial to you! I will buy you a big house!"
Zhan Xi was used to eating the cakes he drew: "Okay, okay, dad will wait for you to grow up."
Coming out of the room, Zhan Xi paused at the door.
"Well."
He muttered on the spot: "Ningzi doesn't have a Star Machine, so he doesn't know that his video is on the Star Network, right?"
He just gave Ningzai a Star Phone. If Ningzai happily used the Star Phone to surf the Internet and saw his own video...
He probably heard some crying.
Zhan Xi muttered, then raised his leg and continued walking forward.
On that day, the cry of Biningzi was preceded by the cry of Wagner.
He talked a lot of nonsense, but not only did he not get any pocket money, he was also whipped with a belt by the marshal and chased around the room.
After being cleaned up, Wagner, whose body was ravaged, watched his own video on the spare satellite camera.
Now, the double torture of body and mind made Wagner, who had always tried to be a cool guy, cry like a pig in the bedroom.
When Jane Ning contacted Wagner, she was almost killed by his crying.
"Ningzi, let's drop out of school!"
Wagner's tone was not joking at all, his voice was twitching: "Let's call Wagner and Lele, and leave this world together!"
Jian Ning: “?”
Jane Ning was confused: "What do you mean by leaving this world together? I don't really want to die with you."
How wonderful it is to be alive.
The people he loves are still alive and well in this world, and he doesn't want to leave them.
From his tone, Wagner realized that he still knew nothing.
"You go up!"
Wagner asked him to log into his account, and then sent him the video that has been trending on the Internet ever since: "Look at the number of views!"
A few minutes later.
Jane Ning: "I'll pack my luggage now."
Jane Ning: "Call Savi and Lele."
School was about to start the next day. On the eve of school, several cubs in different locations were found running away late at night and were all taken back by their parents.
After Zhan Xi took the kid back, he comforted him: "The information on the Internet changes very quickly nowadays. Your lost, cough, your fraudulent video will be replaced by a new one in a while. Don't worry about your studies. No classmates will laugh at you."
Zhan Xi said this, but in fact he was not sure that his classmates would not laugh at his child.
"Ningzi."
Thinking of this, Zhan Xi simply took another approach and taught his child to be strong.
After he finished educating the child, he asked other adults to continue coaxing him.
In the end, it was An Zhu who stepped in and brainwashed the shameless boy: "Ningzi, this is not just an ordinary shame. You seem to be shameful, but you are actually great."
The kid who was fooled by his uncle: "?"
What's the meaning
An Zhu continued calmly, "The news that you were deceived this time has spread so widely. Think about it, if someone encounters this kind of scam again next time and remembers your video, do you think he will not be deceived?"
An Zhu is very good at deceiving people.
After his deception and brainwashing, the kid who originally wanted to run away, slowly changed his expression from confusion to determination.
"Uncle, you are right!"
Jian Ning clenched his fists. His handsome face, which was so thin that his chin was pointed, finally showed no more shame and anger. "I don't feel ashamed anymore. I will go to school tomorrow."
"So good."
An Zhu successfully took care of the cub and won the admiring looks of Zhan Xi and Ling Qi.
After finishing the video call with his uncle, Jian Ning went back to video call his brother. It was already late when he made the video call. If he called others at this time, it would be considered as disturbing the public.
But when I call my brother, he never feels disturbed.
Video connected.
Jane Ning looked at César who was leaning against the head of the bed. Perhaps because he had washed his hair before going to bed, his hair was not completely dry yet, and the strands of hair on César's forehead were still wet.
He held the star machine in one hand, and on his handsome face, which was no less handsome than his father's, a pair of dark eyes were looking at the child on the screen.
"Brother, I'm home."
"I know."
"do you miss me?"
"think."
Xizel has a cold and handsome face like his father, but his coldness does not exist in front of Jane Ning. No matter how straightforward his emotional feedback is, as long as Jane Ning wants to hear it, he will not hesitate to express it.
The two talked for a long time across the screen.
Jian Ning asked a lot of questions about middle school. He was still very much looking forward to the Imperial Military Middle School.
Xizel looked at the expectant face of the baby and did not pour cold water on him on the eve of school starting.
Among all the stages of schooling, middle school is the hardest. Once you really go to school, you will experience it for yourself.
Time always seems to pass faster at night than during the day.
Xizel kept track of the time and let Jian Ning go to bed at around ten o'clock: "School starts tomorrow and there will be a lot of things to do. You should sleep well now. I will go to your house tomorrow morning and go to school with you."
"good."
Coaxed to sleep by her brother, Jane Ning closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The next day.
When Jian Ning woke up, he rubbed his eyes and the first thing he saw was the young man standing beside the bed.
The boy was wearing a neat school uniform and had a slender figure. He was bending over to arrange some clothes. The sunlight coming in from the window fell on his face, and his long and thick eyelashes seemed to carry light.
Such a warm scene made Jane Ning unable to look away.
"elder brother."
He looked at it for a long time before he hugged the quilt and cried out.
Xizel heard the voice and looked towards the bed.
"woke up?"
He walked closer and naturally lifted the quilt. After lifting it, he picked up the baby inside and said, "Go wash your face. Uncle Lingqi's meal is ready."
"Brother, have you chosen the clothes for me to wear?"
"I've chosen it."
Césaire handed him a set of clothes and found the shoes he wanted to wear.
After cleaning up the room, Ling Qi’s breakfast was served on the dining table.
At the dinner table.
Zhan Xi talked to Xi Ze'er about the start of school. Although he had checked the procedures online, Xi Ze'er, who was still in school, was definitely the one who knew the most about school affairs.
"You can't bring electronic products to school, you can't dye your hair, and you can't fall in love too early."
When asked by Zhan Xi, Xizel told him some school rules. When talking about not falling in love too early, Zhan Xi smiled and said, "We Ningzi are not in a hurry to fall in love too early."
Some children nowadays mature precociously.
Zhan Xi had seen elementary school students engaging in premature love on Star Internet. He and Ling Qi watched the videos of elementary school students engaging in premature love together and almost died of laughter.
Some primary school students recorded themselves crying and saying that they would never fall in love again.
Zhan Xi once couldn't help himself and left a message in the comment section, hoping to encourage a sad and heartbroken kid. However, not long after the comment was posted, he received two replies.
One is: "You don't understand."
The second one is: "You will understand when you are my age."
After receiving the reply, Zhan Xi was also ridiculed by Ling Qi.
Although he was being laughed at, he was still glad in his heart that his son was not like that.
"Dad, when can I have a romantic relationship?"
The kid, who had just graduated from elementary school, saw his father and brother talking about the issue of premature love, so he asked about it casually.
Zhan Xi thought for a moment and said, "Let's have a relationship after we go to college. By then, you will be an adult and you will be able to have a relationship. Linzi, what do you think?"
Cesar: “…”
Xizel was silent for a moment, and he tightened his grip on the chopsticks a little: "Uncle Zhan, if Ningzi wants to apply to the Imperial Military University, university will be very busy."
Zhan Xi said nonchalantly, "No matter how busy he is, he won't have time to date, right? Linzi, if he really is dating, please help Uncle Zhan."
Cesar: “…”
Xi Zelu paused, and this time said "hmm".
While Zhan Xi was talking to Xizel, Jian Ning was busy eating. His appetite had not decreased over the years, but he was finally not gaining weight as fast as when he was a child.
After the meal, Jane Ning felt full.
He carried his schoolbag and went to school with his father and brother.
The Imperial Military Middle School is really far away, and it takes nearly half an hour to drive there. After this half an hour, Jane Ning leaned on her brother and whispered in his ear.
"Brother, will you fall in love early?"
When Jane Ning asked this, she looked at her brother without blinking, as if she was staring at him to prevent him from lying.
Cesar shook his head.
He shook his head and tightened his grip, grabbing the cub who was playing with his fingers and holding his hand: "Ning, you are still young, you can't fall in love too early, understand?"
"I knew."
Jian Ning never thought about falling in love too early. He didn’t even have the freedom to play games now, so how could he possibly think about falling in love with someone.
In his opinion, love is not as good as games, nor as good as playing with his brother.
Wait for the car to arrive at the school.
Zhan Xi finally found a parking space. He parked the car and got out with his child: "I should have called your uncle Ling Qi as well. Look at these people who are sending their children. Many of them are families."
Jane Ning also felt regretful.
He poked his father's arm and asked, "Why don't we go back and pick up Uncle Lingqi?"
Zhan Xi rejected it without even thinking: "No, I'll arrange for you first."
So many parents have already arrived, it would not be good if they delayed any further.
With Xizel leading the way, Zhan Xi quickly registered his child, got the books, found the class, and took a seat.
After taking a seat in the classroom, Zhan Xi took his son to the cafeteria.
The school is far from home, so I will have to eat at school from now on.
The start of school is always busy. After Zhan Xi finished taking care of his baby, it was already late and he had to go home.
"Ningzi, if you have any problems in school in the future, remember to look for your brother."
Zhan Xi warned his own child, and after he finished, he began to warn Xizel: "Lin, you should also take care of Ning at school, and don't let him get bullied."
"Uncle Zhan, don't worry, I will take good care of Ningzi."
After sending Zhan Xi away, Xizel accompanied Jian Ning back to the classroom and sat for a while. He filled Jian Ning's cup with water, wrapped the books in book covers, and finally wrote his name on the book.
After everything was done, he rubbed Jian Ning's head and whispered, "I'll take you to lunch at noon."
"Um!"
The boy, who was used to being served by his brother, nodded.
Xizel couldn't stay here for too long, he had to go back to class.
Jian Ning watched his brother leave, with a depressed expression on his little face. He had looked around and found that the dozen or so new classmates sitting around him were not from their Imperial Military Primary School.
well.
Without her old classmates, Jane Ning felt a little lonely.
This feeling of loneliness did not last long, and Jane Ning suddenly sat up straight with her little face tense.
This is a new school and no one knows me yet.
Since no one recognizes her, Jane Ning frowned and tried to create a new image for herself!
When he was in elementary school, he acted wild with other kids and was not steady at all. In a new school and a new beginning, he wants to be a steady and mature kid!
The boy, determined to establish a new image, straightened his back, opened a new textbook, and started reading it pretending to be a top student.
During this time, a new classmate secretly looked at him. His face was calm, his eyes did not look around, and he did not even look back.
The new image was established for a while. Just when Jian Ning thought he could continue to establish it, a teacher came in. After seeing the kid sitting in the seat, the teacher raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Am I dazzled? Ningzi, are you reading a book?"
Jian Ning: “?”
When Jane Ning heard this familiar voice, she raised her little face to take a look.
When he saw this, he was stunned.
How come the teacher who taught him for several years in elementary school came to the middle school to continue teaching him
Not only did the elementary school teacher come, but after the teacher came in, other students in the class also came one after another.
Among the students who came in, one of them called Jian Ning and said, "Boss, we are in the same class!"
"Boss, here I come!"
"Ningzi, let's sit together!"
Familiar teachers and familiar classmates almost made Jian Ning, who was trying to be aloof and mature, become autistic.
Roy, who had been Jane Ning's classmate since kindergarten, followed Jane Ning back to middle school. He continued to sit at the same table with Jane Ning, and started chatting with Jane Ning after just a few minutes of sitting at the same table with her.
"Ningzi, I have found out clearly that there are three bosses among the freshmen this year. In addition to you, there are two more bosses."
Roy was sharing intelligence with Jian Ning. When analyzing the intelligence, he deliberately lowered his voice: "One of the other two bosses is very unfriendly to you."
Jian Ning: “…”
Jane Ning had a tired look on his face as he listened to Roy continue talking in his ear.
well.
After being the eldest brother for so many years, he actually wants to retire.
