After finishing his words, Xiao Bao lifted his face and kicked in a carefree manner. That smug look could drive one to the grave.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bao was not done with his words yet. “Er Bao, Da Bao is the elder brother. You have to call him elder brother, not Da Bao. You are not obedient. Auntie will beat you!”

All of a sudden, Er Bao felt like he was going to suffer from an emotional breakdown. He had a cousin who very much wished that he would be beaten up. How was he going to resolve this?

“Don’t you also call me Er Bao?” This naughty little one who has never addressed me as his elder brother.

Xiao Bao shook his head. “Not calling, not calling. Just not calling.”

“Not calling. If you don’t call me elder brother, I’ll bite you. Oo-ah! I am a big tiger.” Er Bao pretended to be ferocious, placing his claws by the side of his face and pouncing on Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao was hiding and shouting for San Bao to help beat the ‘tiger’. He was laughing so loudly that he almost could not catch his breath.

Da Bao, who was sitting on the front passenger’s seat, stiffened his face, his voice turning serious. “Mom is going to drive soon. Don’t joke around when Mom is driving. If you continue to behave like that, I’m not playing with you any more next time.” Da Bao did not want to say something so childish. If possible, he wanted to be like a man and teach these two, Da Bao and Er Bao, a lesson, especially Er Bao. Why wouldn’t he grow up? He was older than Xiao Bao by so much, yet he loved to tease Xiao Bao.

Unfortunately, Da Bao was afraid that Xiao Bao could not understand him if his words were too strict and serious.

Hence, Da Bao simply used what Xiao Bao cared about most to threaten him. His mother had said that Xiao Bao was very pampered at the Tian family. Although Xiao Bao was a good boy, he was still young and did not know many things. As his elder brother and sister, they had to teach Xiao Bao well if he was not obedient. They could not pamper Xiao Bao like his auntie’s family.

Naturally, Da Bao was the first to take on this responsibility. As soon as Xiao Bao did something wrong, Da Bao’s expression would look very ugly. Xiao Bao dared not be mischievous anymore. Sometimes, Xiao Bao’s fear for Da Bao far exceeded that for his biological father, Tian Dong.

Once Da Bao spoke, Xiao Bao immediately sat properly. He dared not even look at Da Bao. As for Er Bao, seeing that Qiao Nan was already sitting on the driver’s seat, he was already prepared to stop even if Da Bao did not say so.

“After getting into the car, what is the first thing that you must do?” Qiao Nan reminded the four children when she was in the driver’s seat. As soon as Qiao Nan spoke, the triplets automatically fastened their seat belts. Xiao Bao obediently allowed San Bao to help ‘tie’ him up on the baby seat.

Seeing that all four children were done with the safety measures, Qiao Nan stepped on the accelerator, started the engine, and headed towards the triplets’ primary school. Today was the first day of September. Many parents rushed to the school’s entrance with their children who were new to primary school. The scene was extremely lively and bustling.

At the sight of the people squeezing with one another, Qiao Nan felt her head hurting a little. “San Bao, you have to look after Xiao Bao well at all times. Xiao Bao, remember to hold hands with your sister. You must not let go. If you don’t listen, auntie won’t bring you out next time, understand?”

Xiao Bao held on to San Bao’s hands tightly, nodding furiously. “Auntie, rest assured. I will be very obedient.”

Qiao Nan’s clothes had become messy from the squeezing before she finally got hold of the enrollment forms. Qiao Nan had seen the publicity material for this school before. Before enrollment, the school would administer a round of tests for all the new students. Qiao Nan did not understand a little. Shouldn’t such tests be conducted before the enrollment as a form of selection criteria for students?

After enrollment and payment, the children were already considered formal students of the school. They would only be assessed thereafter. Could there be any reason for this? When her family’s three children had been allocated to Class One, Qiao Nan then realized that the so-called top class also existed in primary school.

When the triplets were taking the tests, Qiao Nan held onto Xiao Bao’s hands. She might as well tour the school. “Xiao Bao, you want to study together with your cousins, right? Since there is a chance today, you can take a good look at the school and see if you like it.”

Xiao Bao’s little head was turning happily. He had not even taken more than a few glances at the school, and his little mouth already answered, “Love it. I will definitely love it.” Weren’t all schools the same? The only difference was that his cousins were in this school. Even the three-year-old Xiao Bao had started to hatch a plot.

If he was in the same school as his cousins, his auntie could also fetch him when she fetched his cousins home. Next, he would feign spoiled. He would be able to go to his maternal grandmother’s house for dinner then. After dinner, he did not feel like moving due to exhaustion. He needed to rest for one day. The sky was dark and he was scared. He did not want to leave. He might as well stay over at his maternal grandmother’s house.

At the thought of this, Xiao Bao was in a wonderful mood. He could not wait for that day to arrive.

The triplets were already at the age of going to primary school. The Zhai family had prepared a separate bedroom for them. Now, they were still little and could live together in one bedroom with three beds. When San Bao was ten years old, Miao Jing decided to let her grandchildren have one bedroom each. After all, they had two grandsons and one granddaughter. Her granddaughter could not always sleep in the same room as her grandsons.

Xiao Bao had always liked to follow the triplets. When he saw that the triplets had their own rooms, he did not fuss the elders in the Tian family to prepare one for him. Anyway, he had been sleeping alone. His mother was seldom home and his father had to go to work at the office. His grandmother accompanied his grandfather. He was alone.

Hence, after he saw the triplets’ bedroom, Xiao Bao babbled and insisted Qiao Nan prepare one more bed in his cousins’ bedroom. Xiao Bao expressed that he had grown up and he did not need his auntie to keep him company anymore when he was at his maternal grandmother’s house. He would like to sleep in the same bedroom as his cousins.

Fortunately, the Zhai family’s residence was not small. They could still place another small bed in the triplets’ bedroom. However, in that case, this bedroom would be maxed out and there was no longer any space left.

As such, Qiao Nan made some space in Zhai Sheng and her study room to let the three children have individual space to do their homework. Xiao Bao was very small-sized. He would be able to find a small space to draw and write as long as he squeezed beside one of the triplets.

As one could imagine, Xiao Bao did not have fewer things than the triplets in the Zhai family. Xiao Bao loved to stay in the Zhai family. Tian Dong thus put away some of his clothes at the Zhai family’s residence. He had never thought of taking them back. After some time, the Zhai family’s residence had become Xiao Bao’s second home. Therefore, when he suddenly said that he wanted to stay in the Zhai family’s residence, it was not inconvenient. In fact, whatever he needed was already available.

Xiao Bao dared to have such an idea as he was well aware of this.

He would hold onto anything that could give him an excuse to stay over at the Zhai family’s residence. Xiao Bao was young but very smart. He had never missed any opportunities, having it all planned. He was exactly the same as his father when he was negotiating collaboration projects with his business partners.
