Chapter 368: A Stigma

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In Jin Nian’s eyes, no matter what Lu Keke and Lu Xixi did, it was cute.

There was a period of time when Lu Keke learned how to use the toilet herself. Jin Nian was worried and wanted to go over to take a look. It was no exaggeration to say that even when she saw Lu Keke use the toilet, Jin Nian didn’t find it smelly.

Lu Keke and Lu Xixi were at the age where their learning and imitation abilities were amazing. They would naturally learn some things by watching how adults did it.

Every time Jin Nian put on makeup, Lu Keke and Lu Xixi would watch with great interest. Later on, Lu Keke decided to do it himself. He took Jin Nian’s various cosmetics and applied them on his face, turning himself into a tabby cat. He even put on makeup for Lu Xixi. In just a few hours, the two children had ruined many of Jin Nian’s cosmetics.

Jin Nian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the mess on the dressing table when she got home. Although she was a little angry, they were still her children after all. She could only pamper them. She pretended to be angry and spanked the two babies. “You two ruined my limited edition lipstick!”

“Mom, I’ll buy you a truckful when I grow up. Don’t be angry, okay?” Lu Keke said innocently.

“I’ll buy it too!” Lu Xixi agreed.

Jin Nian smiled helplessly. “Xixi is a girl, so she can put on makeup. Lu Keke, you’re a boy. Why are you putting on makeup?!”

“Why can’t boys put on makeup?” asked Lu Keke.

Jin Nian fell silent when she was asked this question. Most of the time, people did have a fixed impression of each other. She almost instilled her biased thinking into Lu Keke’s mind.

Who said that boys couldn’t wear makeup?

Little boys could put on makeup, they could like Barbie dolls, and they could also like pink.

Boys could like things that girls liked. Similarly, girls could like things that boys liked.

Jin Nian quickly apologized and corrected herself. “It’s not that boys can’t put on makeup. It’s just that you’re too young and will make a mess of everything. You can’t take responsibility for your own actions. In the end, it’s your parents who will pay for you.”

“Mom,” Lu Keke admitted his mistake. “I won’t do it again.”

“I wouldn’t either.” Lu Xixi agreed.

Jin Nian smiled. Although Lu Xixi was a girl, she was more noisy than her brother. However, she listened to Lu Keke very much. She did not expect Lu Keke to start leading by example at such a young age.

Jin Nian still had many shortcomings when it came to educating her children, but it didn’t matter. She would grow up with her two children.

When Keke was four years old, he had been addicted to watching cartoons. He could turn on the TV by himself. Although he couldn’t read, he knew how to control the voice. The little guy tried to sneak on the TV when the adults weren’t on guard and laughed out loud while watching.

Lu Keke did not forget about his sister. Every time he watched cartoons, he would call Lu Xixi out. The two little fellows curled up on the sofa and watched while eating fruits.

When Lu An realized it, Lu Keke started to apologize with a very good att.i.tude. He looked innocent and pitiful. He blinked his big blue eyes and said in an aggrieved tone, “Daddy, Daddy, don’t be angry. I know I was wrong. I’ll recite an ancient poem for you. You’ll definitely like it.”

Then, Lu Keke began to show off his talents in various ways. Lu Xixi also stood at the side and danced with her short legs, leaving Lu An helpless.

It wasn’t that Lu An didn’t want Lu Keke to watch cartoons, but that there was a time limit. At such a young age, Lu Keke already had some problems with his eyesight. After the family found out in time, they immediately went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor said that it was pseudo-myopia, so he had to watch less television and use less electronic products.

The child was still young after all. Although he was cute, sometimes he was too smart. When the adults were not on guard, he would pick up the tablet and hide in a corner to watch with great interest. They could not control his actions.

Lu Xixi would also watch every time, but she could not sit still in the corner for a while. She went to the side to play with her toys. The little girl was very smart. Sometimes, when she saw Lu An come back, she even knew to cover for Lu Keke.

However, under Lu An’s strict discipline, the two children could only watch cartoons for an hour a day at most. If they exceeded the time limit, they could not watch any more.

Keke was undoubtedly a smart boy. He knew that his mother was the boss of the family. Although his father always looked fierce, he would listen to his mother. Therefore, Lu Keke knew very well that as long as he received his mother’s love in this family, he would get everything.

One day, when Jin Nian came home from work, she saw Lu Keke sitting at the door sullenly with his small chubby hands holding his little face and a sad expression on his face. While Lu Xixi looked at Lu Keke with a confused expression at the side.

Jin Nian squatted down and asked, and Lu Keke instantly turned into a

drama queen.. “Mom, why is it so difficult for me?”
