Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Something Happened!
The teacher on stage was announcing the game rules, “100 push-ups, and the first family to finish wins.”
Ji Ze was in front, Ji Chao was behind.
Lu Nuonuo was held by her two brothers, sitting in the very middle.
The combined weight of the three children was roughly that of an adult.
Ji Muye’s expression didn’t change, and when the whistle blew, his movements flowed smoothly, showing no delay due to the three children on his back.
His hands were steady, and his speed matched that of Zhou Jiawang beside him.
Most children’s fathers, who didn’t exercise regularly, already had their beer bellies touching the yoga mats without even bending over; unable to do 10 push-ups, they were out of breath, lying on the mats.
Some fathers were on the leaner side, flapping their arms like the wings of a bee, causing their children on their backs to tremble as if they were about to take off.
Gradually, fewer and fewer dads remained in the competition.
Aside from Ji Muye and Zhou Jiawang, there were a few fathers whose jobs required them to spend a lot of time training each day. Everyone’s physical fitness seemed on par, but Ji Muye had a slight advantage in terms of carrying weight.
His breathing was even, and the contours of his muscles under his shirt were constantly revealed through the consistently rhythmic movements, sending hormones soaring.
100 push-ups completed.
Ji Muye, Zhou Jiawang, and two other dads tied for first place.
Each person’s forehead was slightly sweaty, and the children’s mothers immediately offered tissues to wipe the sweat away, their families all looking very loving.
Zhou Ziyue handed a tissue to Zhou Jiawang, “That was tough.”
She held her daughter Qiao Xinran, showing concern, “Are you tired, Xinxin? Shall Mommy take you over there to get some water?”
Over at Ji Muye’s side, Lu Xining didn’t need to take initiative.
After Lu Nuonuo hopped off his back, she dashed to her mother’s side, took out a handkerchief from her own little bag, and scurried back to Ji Muye.
“Uncle, crouch down.”
Ji Muye crouched as instructed, looking tenderly at Little Dumpling who was earnestly wiping his sweat.
Quickly, she reached out to wipe his sweat, praising him for being amazing while she did so, and only after his cheeks were dry did she plant a kiss on him.
Lu Nuonuo, “Uncle, you’re super super awesome!”
She covered her mouth and giggled to herself, thinking how clever she was to clean daddy’s face before kissing him.
Ji Chao also got disinfecting wipes from Lu Xining and handed them to Ji Muye, saying, “Daddy, wipe your hands.”
“Daddy, drink some water,” Ji Ze handed over some water to soothe his throat.
The three children each had their own role.
Lu Xining didn’t feel any loss when she saw the admiration and love for their father in her three cubs’ eyes.
As always, not every father was qualified, but it was only a qualified father who could serve as a role model for their children.
In this regard, Ji Muye was doing quite well.
Seeing Little Dumpling’s rosy cheeks, Ji Muye took the handkerchief from her hands, turned it over, and wiped her face with it.
“Nuonuo, go to Mommy for some water.”
He also wiped his two sons’ sweat, “You too.”
Ji Muye took the children back to the sofa rest area.
Lu Xining had already prepared the children’s water cups. Little Dumpling took two cups from her hand and volunteered, “Mommy, Nuonuo will give it to brother.”
She patted her daughter’s head, “Good, Nuonuo is so considerate.”

After delivering the water, Little Dumpling obediently sat on the sofa, hugging her little fox cup, gulping down her drink.
In the end, she didn’t forget to offer the water cup to Lu Xining, her large, luminous eyes blinking, “Mommy drink.”
After brushing her daughter’s bangs, Lu Xining spoke gently, “Mommy has water, Nuonuo drink by yourself.”
She was just about to reach for the bottled water on the small table next to her when a bottle with its cap already unscrewed was passed her way.
Lu Xining looked at the distinct and fair fingers before her and turned to meet Ji Muye’s cool and handsome gaze.
The man’s deep, dark eyes flickered towards the child, subtly signaling her to be aware of Ji Chao’s and Ji Ze’s feelings next to her.
Lu Xining raised her eyebrows but deliberately didn’t take the bottle from his hand.
She handed the half-twisted bottle of mineral water to Ji Chao, intentionally saying, “Xiao Chao, mommy can’t open it, can you help mommy?”
Ji Chao’s eyes lit up, “Of course I can!”
Since Lu Xining had already twisted it halfway, he managed to open the cap in no time, and she heaped several praises on him, saying how amazing Xiao Chao was until the boy became bashful.
Next to them, Ji Ze immediately expressed that he could do it too.
“Mommy knows, our Xiao Ze is also amazing.”
Ji Muye, who was left out: “…”
Lu Nuonuo, with one hand clutching her own water cup and the other patting her affordable dad’s arm, comforted him, “Uncle is also awesome~”
Little Dumpling had everyone’s attention.
What would this family do without her, right?
Lu Xining went on stage with her two sons to receive little red flowers.
Ji Muye watched Little Dumpling, whose eyelids had started to droop, and with a large hand, he picked her up and placed her on his lap, gently pinching her tender nose with tender movements; he had not missed Little Dumpling’s sneaky giggle.
Having played for so long, Lu Nuonuo was already feeling sleepy.
She handed her water cup to Ji Muye and found a comfortable position in his arms, then said to him, “Uncle, pat pat.”
Ji Muye looked down at her almost closed eyelids, intuitively understanding her request for “pat pat.”
He took off his windbreaker jacket from nearby, wrapped Little Dumpling up in it entirely, and his large palm gently patted her back.
Without a lullaby or any other rocking motion, Little Dumpling fell asleep in Ji Muye’s arms.
Ji Muye’s usually indifferent heart thawed bit by bit, with the walls of ice melting away with her face full of trust and reassurance.
Apart from Ji Chao and Ji Ze, Lu Nuonuo was the third child to soften his heart; he always felt something about her was pulling at him.
He chuckled softly, “Little clever spirit…”
Zhou Jiawang, who was still coaxing his sister on the other side, looked up to see the man under the tree smiling gently, his heart touched.
Even though it was just a faint smile, for the usually expressionless Ji Muye, this was a significant change.
Especially without knowing whether the girl was his daughter or not, Ji Muye’s smile seemed to tell others that he had already accepted Lu Nuonuo as his daughter.
Zhou Jiawang then looked at Lu Xining on the stage, who was currently helping the teacher stick little red flowers on her two sons.
Leaving her daughter with Ji Muye without worry was also another kind of trust that others couldn’t break into, wasn’t it?
The parent-teacher meeting finally came to an end in the morning.
The afternoon was off, and the children could go home with their parents.
Ji Chao and Ji Ze were very happy today, each carrying their little backpacks and hopping along, holding Lu Xining’s hand.
Once they were in the car.
Looking at her daughter, who was sleeping sweetly in Ji Muye’s embrace, Lu Xining reached out her hand and said softly, “Give me Nuonuo.”
Just as Ji Muye was about to let go, Little Dumpling immediately clung to his shirt, showing signs of waking up; he quickly patted her back, and the little hand grasping his shirt loosened slightly.
“It’s okay, I’ve got her.”
Although Little Dumpling was less than two years old, thanks to her good genes, she was tall and lanky compared to children her age and showed promise as a dancer.
After taking a modified medication that included Seven-star Reviving Herb and with care from Lu Xining, she had grown a lot taller.
Lu Xining would become tired if she were to carry her continuously.
But the weight of Little Dumpling was not a problem for Ji Muye, whose body was no longer frail.
However, before they even reached the Lu Family home, both of their cell phones vibrated simultaneously—it was Yan Dong and Fu Junhang calling.
“Sister, quick, look at the news!”
“President Ji, the Madam has had an accident!”
