Extra Story 5 - Brother and Brother: Moonlight Before My Bed

Bella was teaching Mingtson to recite poetry.

"Moonlight before my bed, I suspect it is frost on the ground. I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, and lower it to think of my hometown."

Although Ming learned quickly, Bella thought children might forget, so she taught him again the next day. On the third day, Bella continued to review with him: "Moonlight before my bed..."

Ming asked seriously, "Mom, is this the only poem you know? Grandpa and Grandma know many."

Bella felt ashamed: "Mom majored in science... Let your dad teach you..."

Feeling belittled by her son, Bella tearfully went to the study to find her husband, tossing the poetry book at him: "You teach him. Your genes are too unfair..."

Kicked out of the study, Nai Shawn sat down next to his son, looked at the book Bella bought—"One Hundred Enlightening Poems"—which contained simple and catchy selections. Shawn flipped through it, tossed the book aside, and casually taught his son a poem—

"In the sky, the White Jade Capital, with five towers and twelve cities..."

It was still a poem by the great Li Bai, titled "After the Chaos, Remembering Old Travels and Writing to the Governor of Jiangxia, Wei Tai Shou Liang Zai"... The title was long, and the poem even longer...

Little Ming was conflicted. Someone was not ashamed of bullying his son and patted his little head with satisfaction: "Don't bully Dad's wife in the future."

*** *** ***

Ming's kindergarten teacher, Ms. Wang, liked him very much and teased him: "Ming, can you recite poetry?"

Ming: "Yes."

"What poem can you recite?"

Ming turned his head: "All of them."

The teacher was sweating: "Then which poem does Ming like the most?"

While playing with his toy train, Ming casually recited: "Moonlight before my bed, I suspect it is frost on the ground. I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, and lower it to think of my hometown."

The teacher was surprised at how fluently he recited and asked excitedly: "Why does Ming like this poem?"

Ming looked up and said loudly: "Because my brother is the moon!"

The teacher was bewildered: What are you talking about...

Soon, the kindergarten was going to hold a parent-teacher meeting, and the teachers needed to prepare a program to showcase the students' learning achievements. Ms. Wang's program was Baby Shawn reciting poetry.

The principal was very satisfied with Ming's recitation during the rehearsal. Seeing the principal's approval, the teacher continued to show off: "He also understands the meaning of the poem."

"Really?" The principal was pleasantly surprised and asked Ming: "Ming, what does 'Moonlight before my bed' mean?"

Ming, stacking blocks, answered in a childish voice with great certainty: "It means my brother in front of the bed isn't wearing clothes or pants!"

Teacher: ...

Principal: ... Ahem, Ms. Wang...

The teacher was in tears. Just yesterday, he said it was moonlight shining in front of the bed! How did it suddenly become a restricted answer?!!!

Oh, teachers... The Shawn family, from the oldest to the youngest, can unexpectedly become troublemakers = =

Brother and Brother: Ming Raising His Brother

One day, Bella and Shawn took their two little ones to Grandma's house, and Grandma announced some good news—she had agreed to an advertisement for Ming!

Although it was a favor for a relative and only a photo shoot, not a TV commercial, Bella was still worried and conflicted on the way back.

"Isn't Ming too young? Wouldn't it be bad for him to shoot an ad?"

Shawn didn't mind his son showing his face a little. Boys shouldn't worry too much.

"It's fine, let him have some fun," Shawn said while driving. "He should start earning his milk money to support himself."

Bella: "..."

Bella looked at the two little ones in the back seat, who together were only six years old, and could only silently turn her head away.

Even though Shawn agreed, Bella was still uneasy. Her son was always smart, so she decided to discuss it with Ming as if he were a little adult: "Ming, do you want to shoot an ad?"

"What's an ad?"

"It's taking pictures for many people to see."

Ming furrowed his little brows deeply, looking a bit troubled. Finally, he glanced at his sleeping brother and made up his mind: "Ming will do it."

On the day of the shoot, it was a coincidence that everyone in the family was busy, so Bella had to take Luna to the shoot as well. Fortunately, Ming was well-behaved and didn't require much attention. He walked beside Bella on his chubby little legs and even took the initiative to hold his brother's bottle.

As soon as they arrived at the shoot, the adorable babies immediately attracted a crowd. Bella observed the environment, which seemed very professional, and the staff were attentive and meticulous. The photographer was very friendly, repeatedly assuring that the babies' eyes wouldn't be harmed, which finally put Bella at ease.

During a break in the shoot, Bella went to the restroom, entrusting the staff to watch the children for a few minutes. Among the staff were several girls who were already smitten by the two adorable kids. As soon as their mom left, they gathered around to play with them.

"Ming, how old are you?"

Ming replied in a childish voice: "Ming is four, and my brother is one and a half."

"Ming, give the bottle to Auntie, and Auntie will help feed your brother, okay?"

Ming hugged the bottle tightly, indicating no.

"So cute."

The girls' eyes practically sparkled. "Ming, do you like shooting ads?"

Ming turned his head: "No."

The staff exchanged glances: "Then why did Ming come to shoot?"

Ming, feeling a bit deflated under their gaze, hugged his brother's bottle, dragged the cradle, and said with his head down: "Ming needs to earn milk money to support myself and my brother."

When Bella returned from the restroom, she noticed the strange looks everyone was giving her. Why did they look at her like she was a wicked stepmother?

Bella was puzzled. Why did the world become so strange every time she came back from the restroom...

Mozar Ta loved children very much, but since he couldn't have any of his own, he often brought snacks made by KO to Bella's house, trying to lure Ming to elope with him.

One day, he brought KO's homemade peanut cookies to Bella's house, attempting his usual abduction.

"Ming, do you want to come to Brother's house to play? Brother will teach you how to play games, and Uncle KO will make lots of snacks." The shameless one often called himself Brother, relying on his youthful appearance, but he only dared to do so when no one was around. Last time, when Uncle KO heard it, he gave a lesson called "Uncle" in a not-so-innocent place.

Mozar Ta continued his shameless coaxing: "If Ming comes to Brother's house, Mom and Dad will have time to make a little sister. Doesn't Ming want a little sister?"

"I don't want a sister anymore." Ming finished his cookie and shook his head seriously.

"Why?" Mozar Ta was puzzled. Last time, he said he wanted a little sister.

Ming said with a troubled expression: "Because Ming's milk money is only enough to support one brother."

Bella and Susan Joint Extra Story

Susan Shan was a newbie in the game.

How much of a newbie? So much so that she only dared to do tasks and level up by herself, not daring to team up for dungeons, fearing that her imaginative movements and unpredictable big moves would wipe out her teammates...

So even though she had become the wife of the boss of Feng Teng Technology and had gotten the most stylish equipment through the back door, she only dared to stand at the entrance of high-level dungeons, stylishly lonely, without joining any team.

But her equipment was still eye-catching, and her character's stance was so lonely and desolate, like a master pretending to be cool, so people kept inviting her, and Susan rejected so many that her hand got tired, forcing her to give herself a nickname to hang over her head.

Six words—"A Teammate Like a Pig."

The world immediately quieted down.

Until she became familiar with Bella!

It was like a divine existence, wasn't it!

"Bella, are you really willing to take me?"

"Yes, really."

"I'm very clumsy, I'll wipe out the team!"

"It's okay, just stand there and don't move."

"Bella, you're so good 5555555, why didn't I meet you earlier!"

Susan had actually picked up online gaming again. During her pregnancy, she had completely quit the internet. Now that the baby was weaned, the Boss still wouldn't let her go back to work, so Susan was a bit bored. When the baby didn't need her, she would wander online to play for a while.

I have to say, having someone to guide you is such a blessing! Susan Shan had never experienced such a feeling before. Just walking around and enjoying the scenery, and the experience and gold coins would pour in. If she didn't even feel like walking, she could just follow and stare at the computer in a daze.

One day, when both of them had time, Bella was taking her through a dungeon again, and suddenly, Bella's character stopped moving on the screen.

Team Channel:

Reed Vivian: 33, sorry, I have to step away for a bit.

Boss with Kids: Okay, 7878

It must be that Bella's husband came home, Susan thought with experience, guessing that Bella would soon come back and say she had to log off for the day.

Susan looked at the time on the computer. Annoying, it's so late, Bella's husband is already off work, why is mine still in a meeting?

Should I bring him some late-night snacks or something?

Susan was pondering when Bella's character suddenly moved.

Boss with Kids: Are you back? Are we continuing today?

Reed Vivian: hao

Susan immediately forgot about the meeting Boss and happily followed Bella to gain experience.

Susan was happily picking up items behind Bella when a line suddenly appeared in the team channel—"Auntie, don't pick up items from behind, I'm about to fight the BOSS, and if you're too far away, you won't get any experience."

Auntie?!

Susan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, a terrible suspicion arose in her mind: "Could it be... you... Ming?"

"Yes!"

"...Where's your mom?"

"Dad came back, Mom is playing with Dad, Ming is playing with my brother, my brother is sleeping, so Ming is playing with the computer."

Susan struggled to type a compliment: "...Ming is so good... so smart... such little paws can type so many words..."

"Yes! Grandma says Ming and my brother are as smart as Dad, and Grandma says Ming and my brother are smarter than Mom!"

Susan: ...Bella, are you sure your status at home is okay?!

Team Channel:

Reed Vivian: Auntie! It's done.

Susan silently watched the fallen BOSS, walked over, and numbly picked up the equipment dropped by the BOSS...

The gap between people is really too big...

Other people's children can already lead me in games...

When Victor Feng walked into the room, Susan was staring at the computer with shining eyes.

"Playing games again?" Victor Feng took off his coat and walked over.

"Come quickly, come quickly, it's so cool!!" Susan didn't even turn her head, staring at the computer. When he got closer, she pulled him over, pointing at the dashing figure on the screen, "Look! Bella's husband is PKing with someone, the moves are so cool!"

Victor Feng glanced at it, then silently moved his gaze from the computer screen to his wife's face...

And then...

How did things turn out like this?

Susan squatted by the table, resting her chin on the tabletop, looking pitifully at her laptop, which was now in the Boss's hands.

The Boss has fallen too... He actually snatched her game to play...

And he challenged high difficulty right away! He actually challenged Nai Shawn to a PK on his first try?

He just figured out how to walk and what skills there are!

And he dared to charge in like that!

Sure enough... he died so quickly.

Susan couldn't bear to look and turned her head away.

Victor Feng glanced at her, snorted coldly, focused on the skill bar, familiarized himself with the skills again, and then challenged Smiling Naihe to a PK for the second time.

...This time, he lasted three more minutes.

The third time...

He actually lasted even longer!

The fourth time...

He had been fighting for so long and hadn't lost yet?!

Susan watched the screen intently, and after a while, she widened her eyes in shock, shouting excitedly: "Ahhh, he's out of mana! You're going to win!!!"

"I'm out too."

As Victor Feng's calm voice fell, the two figures, who had been gracefully moving across the screen, suddenly separated and sat down to recover.

"So you tied!" Susan was overjoyed: "You tied with Smiling Naihe!!!"

Smiling Naihe is such a legendary existence, and the Boss could tie with him so quickly! Susan thought the Boss was simply amazing. She happened to be squatting by Victor Feng's leg, so she hugged his leg and said admiringly: "You're so strong!"

Although his wife's starry eyes finally returned to him, losing three times before barely tying was a disgrace for someone like Victor Feng, who was used to winning in life.

So he... calmly typed a line—"It was my wife playing just now."

Susan on the side: "..."

On this side, Nai Shawn calmly typed back: "It was my son playing just now."

Bella on the side: "..."

Bella realized, no wonder they could become business partners, they were shameless in the same way!

Bella: "Is this okay... Isn't Mr. Feng our company's biggest investor..."

Nai Shawn calmly said: "It's fine, the funds from Feng Teng have already been fully utilized."

Bella: "..."

On the other side.

Susan complained: "You lost, didn't you? Who told you not to have kids earlier, otherwise we could also say it was the baby playing."

Victor Feng had a deep expression and casually replied: "Hmm."

Susan: "...What are you thinking about?"

Victor Feng: "I suddenly remembered that I haven't paid attention to ZyTech's projects for a long time, and I'm planning to find some time to check on them."

Susan: You're thinking of finding trouble and taking personal revenge, aren't you...
