During the grand finals when they were preparing for the event, as Gu Jinglian was winding the cord around his legs, a thought suddenly struck him. He put his arm around Baby Chu’s shoulders and effortlessly lifted the boy off the ground.

“Ah…” When Chu He saw this, she immediately understood his intentions. She put her arm around the boy’s shoulder from the other side. Now, the two of them were basically holding Baby Chu in their arms, between them. This way, they were left with the job of coordinating their strides.

Gu Jinglian said, “I’ll use my right foot first while you use your left foot first.”

Chu He nodded.

The whistle went off.

Gu Jinglian narrowed his eyes and took a step forward. Chu He kept pace. This time, the two of them cooperated exceptionally well. They took turns to put their legs forward, and their coordination was frighteningly perfect!

The group of people watched as the two of them instantly pulled away from the other teams, leaving them more than ten meters behind as they strode towards the finish line.

Eventually, the two of them felt that they were walking too slowly and started running. They were like a whirlwind as they approached the finish line!

“Oh my G.o.d! Look at them! They’re carrying the child between them!”

“They are strong indeed!”

Some parents tried to do the same. While that wasn’t a problem for the men, most of the mothers were not able to lift their children that way. They ended up fl.u.s.tered and embarra.s.sed.

By the time Gu Jinglian and Chu He reached the finish line carrying Baby Chu between them, many parents were still struggling at the starting point.

Stunned, Teacher Xue blew the whistle and announced the winner.

“First place, Gu Chengze!”

From a distance, the little fatty glared at Baby Chu furiously and said with seething anger, “It’s all Daddy’s fault for allowing Baby Chu to steal the limelight! This is so unfair!”

Li Xianlai was not in the best of mood either. After being ridiculed by his son, he was even angrier.

Finally, the teams from the other parents arrived at the finish line one after another. The next teams coming in also secured their second and third placings.

Sheng’er was extremely happy that her family had come in third.

On the prize giving podium, Gu Chengze stood on the highest step with his hands behind his back, looking very pleased. Next to him, Sheng’er said enviously, “Baby Chu, your parents are so amazing!”

“Of course!” Baby Chu patted his chest proudly and said, “My mother used to be a police officer! She could subdue a strong man with one hand!”

“That powerful?!” Sheng’er was stunned.

Teacher Xue walked over to present the prizes. The second and third place prizes were mostly stationery, crayons, and cartoon roller knives. The first place was a one-meter-long soft toy.

Baby Chu was so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling.

Looking at the little fellow from below the stage, Gu Jinglian’s icy expression finally gave way as he broke into a faint smile.

Chu He caught a glimpse of his smile and was stunned for a moment, before breaking into a smile herself.

When the parent-teacher meeting came to an end, Baby Chu felt somewhat wistful and reluctant!

Today was probably the happiest day of his life! There was his father, his mother, and him! In the end, the three of them even won a prize!

Everything that he had never dared to even imagine had now happened. He was so happy that it felt unreal!

Baby Chu held the heavy soft toy as they left the kindergarten and walked to the parking lot. Chu He had offered to help him with it, but he couldn’t bear to let go!

“Mommy, let me carry it!” The boy hugged the soft toy with a big smile on his face. “This is Baby Chu’s prize! No one can take it away from me!”

Before he could finish speaking, a shadow flashed past him.. The little fatty appeared out of nowhere and knocked him to the ground.
