Gu Mingxuan and the other guys were up for the idea. Gu Mingxuan gave Mo Wenyang a call right away. The election was within a few days, this could potentially win a lot of votes for him. The news needed to spread as quickly and widely as possible. Yun Che didn't really need to do anything, he and Heiyu went out for a walk.
"Master, you're bored and eager to whop Captain Xing's ass, are you?"
They walked on the roads inside Chaoyang Community. With no plants along the way, there wasn't much to look at. From time to time, they'd run into someone and people would say hello to Yun Che who'd give them a smile in return. It could have been a relaxing, not-so-sunny afternoon if someone could shut the hell up.
"You're a dog, why do you want to know about that?"
Yun Che would whop Heiyu's ass if he could. The dog had become more and more unbearable lately as if he knew all about romance. Come on, he was still a virgin.
"Don't try to change the subject. Computer tells me that you'll feel upset if your man is busy at work and has no time for you. That you'll be wondering if he's having an affair or if he's still in love with you. And that you'll be wanting to whop his ass. Don't feel embarrassed, master, we're pals. Just holler at me if you want to kick his ass. I'll smack him in the face, making sure he doesn't leave you alone again."
Heiyu looked up and promised. Yun Che slapped his head instead. "They're talking about women, do I look like a woman to you? And those stupid clips were made by those boring trolls online before the doomsday. Most women are actually reasonable. You shouldn't be using computers, you're a dog, why would you need a computer anyway? You don't need that useless information."
It was Leng Yehan's fault. He'd been teaching Cheng about the Internet and he had to do it in front of Heiyu. And now, apparently, the cheeky bastard had been further poisoned by the Internet.
"But this is what the computer says. Are you fooling me around again, master?"
Heiyu was unhappy about the hit he took. There were so many clips on the Internet speaking in the same tone, it was Yun Che's words against theirs and his master's words alone weren't very convincing. "Yeah, he's fooling me around again, he's a big liar!"
Yun Che face-palmed, opened Space, and kicked him into it.
"Hey, this is bullying!"
Heiyu's whining faded into Space. Not only Yun Che ignored him but he also cut off the psychological connection between them to get a moment of peace. The conversation with Heiyu was one hell of a headache.
"Is this Chenchen's kindergarten?"
With no one bothering him, Yun Che walked another hundreds of meters until a building with lively decoration came into view. There were even seesaws and other playing equipment in the front yard. Yun Che normally didn't have to pick Chenchen up, so the place drew his attention.
"Wait for me, Peng, wait!"
Yun Che heard a familiar voice. A chubby meatball was chasing after some other 5-year-old boys. The boy named Peng looked at the chubby boy, paused, and went back to hold his hand. "Yun Zichen, you should lose some weight. Just eat less."
Yun Zichen, whose name used to be Zhou Zichen, was our Chenchen. Before he went to the kindergarten, Yun Yao changed his surname. She wanted her boy to have nothing to do with Zhou Family.
"I'm not really fat, my uncle says it's baby fat. It'll be gone when I grow up."
Hand in hand, Chenchen talked Peng back as he panted. He would say this many times every day and he was good at it.
"Come on, Peng, leave him, he always slows us down."
"Yeah, we won't play with the fat boy."
The other boys frowned at Chenchen. At this time, some girls rushed over and warned, "What are you doing? Are you bullying Chenchen again?"
"We'll report you to Mrs. She. You bully Chenchen again!"
"You can't bully him!"
The girls were being very supportive. They kept Chenchen in the middle and broke him and Peng up. The leader of this group of girls was a 7-year-old. She crouched down and pinched Chenchen's red cheeks. "Good boy, Chenchen, I'm here to protect you."
"Thank you, but they weren't bullying me. I just wanted to play on the slide with them."
Chenchen gave her a smile and explained in his puerile voice. Apparently, the girls liked him. In fact, almost everyone in the kindergarten liked him, but there were one or two mean kids that were one year older than him calling him fat and bullying him. These girls would come to the rescue every time. Chenchen's friend Peng would also protect him.
"Chenchen, you don't need to defend them. I know for a fact that they're bad kids."
However, the little girl didn't listen. She gave those mean boys a glare.
"Hmph, don't play with them. Let's go."
Those boys left in a sulk after making a grimace. A teacher with a baby in the arms walked out and wondered, "Hmm? What do you come here for, Captain Yun? Are you here to pick Chenchen up?"
"Uncle!"
Chenchen looked up when hearing the teacher's voice. He dumped the girls and ran to the gate. Yun Che opened the gate, bent over and picked him up. "Hehe, so happy to see me?"
"Yeah!"
It was the first his uncle came to the kindergarten. Chenchen kept joyfully nodding when hugging Yun Che's neck. The teacher came over as well. "Chenchen is such a good boy. As you can see, all the girls like him, all the boys envy him."
Yun Zichen was cute and got a sweet mouth. He also would share fresh fruits and sweets with everybody. Barely did anyone dislike him.
"Hehe. Thanks, Miss…"
With his nephew in arms, Yun Che asked politely.
"You're welcome. I'm She Jiao, Yu Wenqing's sister-in-law."
As her name suggested, She Jiao was a small woman, but she was actually cool and straightforward. Yun Che answered, "Oh, you're Yu's sister-in-law, I wasn't expecting you to look like a 20-year-old. I would think you were a teenager if you didn't tell me."
Yun Che wasn't trying to butter her up. She Jiao was a small woman with a babyface, and she didn't wear makeup, so she looked younger.
"Hehe. Whether you mean it or not, I take your word for it."
She Jiao laughed. More teachers came out of the house. The nap time was just over, they were making beds inside the house previously. Yun Che didn't know what to speak with women, in fact, there were even two Yaoi fangirls who immediately poked their noses into the relationship between him and Xing Feng. Disconcerted, Yun Che took a bunch of snacks from Space. "Sorry, ladies, I'm taking Chenchen home. Please, these cakes and snacks are for your afternoon tea."
Regardless of the teachers' reaction, Yun Che hurried off with Chenchen after shoving everything into one teacher's hands.
"Uncle, uncle."
Chenchen kept calling his name. Yun Che didn't stop until he ran a hundred meters away from the kindergarten. "What?"
He couldn't deal with Yaoi fangirls. If he stayed a minute longer, the next thing he could be doing would be dissecting how they had sex.
"My backpack is still in my classroom…"
Chenchen looked sadly at his uncle with a frown. His exercise books and stationery were in the backpack.
"Uh…"
"Do I have to go back there for the backpack?" Yun Che thought to himself. He asked with a twitching corner of the mouth. "How about I get you a new exercise book?"
No, he refused to go back. Also, he wouldn't pick Chenchen up again. This had been a traumatizing experience.
"OK."
Chenchen nodded when he saw that his uncle was on the verge of crying. But his little eyes were full of wonder, he couldn't figure out why his uncle wanted to cry.
"Good boy. Oh, do you want an ice cone?"
To make it up to Chenchen, Yun Che took out an ice cone that he got before the doomsday. It'd been ages since Chenchen last ate this. He gave his uncle a kiss and took over the ice cone. "Thanks, uncle."
"You tiny glutton."
Yun Che affectionately pinched Chenchen's cheek when the boy hastily tore the wrapping off. But Chenchen didn't take the first bite, instead, he put it next to Yun Che's mouth. "You eat it, uncle."
"Yeah. Yummy, now you eat it."
Yun Che couldn't resist the heartwarming offer and took small a bite of the ice cream. He pushed Chenchen's hand away and put the boy down the ground. Hand in hand with the uncle, Chenchen had a great time licking the ice cream. What happened back in the kindergarten hit Yun Che when he watched his cute nephew. After scrutinizing, he found that his nephew was indeed a bit too fat, no, chubby.
"Chenchen, do you want me to teach you how to wield superfunction?"
After deliberation, Yun Che asked in the least insinuating way.
"So that I can fight bad guys with you?"
Chenchen raised his head from the ice cream-licking and asked. He'd been bearing his dream of becoming an Ultraman and fighting the evil in mind.
"Yes, when you're older. But learning how to wield superfunction will be tiring. Are you OK with it?"
Leveling him up could be easy because they got tons of low-level crystal nuclei, soon, Chenchen would hit level 3. But his actual fighting capacity wouldn't match his level, nor would it help him lose weight. Yun Che never wanted to spoil the boy. Chenchen had to keep his feet on the ground during leveling-up. It could be kind of harsh for a 3-year-old, but personally, Yun Che thought only through hard work could Chenchen soar when he was out of the nest.
"Yeah. I'm gonna be an Ultraman just like you. I'm gonna beat the bad guys!"
Chenchen suddenly halted, broke loose of Yun Che, and pounded on his chest. He swore he'd protect uncles and mom from the bad guys.
"Hehe, so it's a deal, then. Starting tomorrow, you'll get up one hour earlier than usual and jog with me. When school's over, I'll teach you how to use superfunction."
Yun Che knew his nephew was a brave little boy. He bent down and gently pinched his nose. Peak was strong enough, with Chaoyang's help, Chenchen could be well-protected even if the fact that he was an all-attribute superfunction possessor was known by the world.
"Sure!"
Chenchen nodded with delight, showing no suspicion toward his uncle's proposition. Hand in hand again, the nephew and the uncle walked toward home, leaving a trail of laughter behind them. They looked more like father and son as opposed to uncle and nephew. In fact, they were closer than many other fathers and sons.
