Immortal Becomes a Stay-at-home Dad After Return

During lunch, Chen Xi and Aunty Zhang carefully discussed the issue of Nian Nian attending kindergarten.

He does not understand why his child wants to attend kindergarten when all the other children refuse to go…

In order to respect the little kiddo\'s decision and at the same time, to lessen Aunty Zhang\'s worries, Chen Xi went out after dinner to inspect the neighborhood kindergartens.

Near Kang Ju District, there was a public kindergarten. Although Nian Nian was under the district\'s charge, Aunty Zhang did not even consider sending Nian Nian to kindergarten before and hence, she has missed the registration period.

Furthermore, public kindergarten had an extremely limited intake quota. Even if Nian Nian has registered, there was still a chance that she might not even get in.

Hence, Chen Xi was left with only one option. That was to send Nian Nian to a private kindergarten.

Private kindergarten was not exactly better than public kindergarten. Other than the costly school fees, there were often news on teachers abusing the children.

Thinking up till here, Chen Xi felt slightly uncomfortable.

He could not imagine what he would do if Nian Nian was abused in the kindergarten.

Once he thought of abuse, he couldn’t help but think of those Korean movies that he had watched, such as, [So-won], [Don\'t Cry Mommy], [Silenced]. He could not get over it even after the movie had finished.

Thinking of the adorable So-won, he felt that Nian Nian would be as cute as her in 2 years time.

Chen Xi thoughts became more and more ridiculous. However, when he thought of the few scenes in the movie, he became slightly agitated and cursed, "Fuck! I almost forgot. I will prepare some protection spells for Nian Nian later."

Perhaps, this was how every other father felt at some point.

This was especially so amongst fathers with daughters. They would be able to conjure up all sorts of possibilities.

Daughters are like angels to their father, they are the most adorable existence in the world.

Chen Xi would not allow anyone to hurt Nian Nian.

Absolutely Not!

As each generation improves, Chen Xi recalled that he did not attend kindergarten when he was young. Everyday, he would play with his friends; They would either stick spiderwebs to the branches and catch cicadas and crickets or bathe in the river. Occasionally, they would steal corn and potatoes to roast from their neighbor Bo\'s yard .

The people then were very crude, it was not as particular as now, where there be double language education in kindergarten.

As for those wealthy families, they were already deciding whether their kids should attend IB or AP courses. Even when their children did not want to study overseas, they had already decided that they must study overseas when they grow up.

Recently, the nation has released a \'Two child\' policy. This caused the preschool education market to become a \'vast blue sea\', numerous education organizations emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. It ranged from a low-end kindergarten in a small district to famous overseas schools with a few hundred years of history, the options were abundant.

He went into an internet cafe and surfed the internet. After a while, he chose a private kindergarten that was not too far from Kang Ju District.

The overall conditions of the kindergarten were not bad and they also have a good reputation. With all sorts of miscellaneous fees, the monthly fee was about ¥3000.

Chen Xi had two reasons not to consider the elite kindergartens with fees of ¥200,000 per year.

Firstly, the registration period was over. For the elite kindergartens, one would normally need to register one year prior. Next, their names would be put into the Waiting-List. After getting their queue number, they would have to go through an interview. The whole process was extremely troublesome.

Secondly, Chen Xi guessed that Nian Nian would not be willing to stay in kindergarten for long.

Based on his careful observations for the past few days, Chen Xi suspected that it was due to the fact that Aunty Zhang seldom brought Nian Nian out to play, hence, she would be very interested in other children\'s world.

Thus, Chen Xi planned to let Nian Nian try out first. If she liked it, he would use connections to send her to the best.

If she doesn\'t like it, then he would teach her.

Anyways, Chen Xi did not have any hobbies. Raising his daughter has become his biggest hobby…

After deciding on a school, Chen Xi went home and told the little kiddo. She happily clapped her hands,"I\'m going to kindergarten! I\'m going to kindergarten!"

Due to the excitement, the little kiddo only fell asleep at 10:30pm. Under the double threats from Chen Xi and Aunty Zhang, the little kiddo could only obediently climbed lie on her bed.

The next morning, Aunty Zhang helped the little kiddo changed into a new white dress.

Adorned in a new dress and two pony tails, for the first time ever, the little kiddo refused to be carried by Chen Xi. Instead, she energetically hopped out.

The kindergarten was not too far. The total walking time from Kang Ju District to the kindergarten was about ten minutes.

After explaining the situation to the security guard, Chen Xi carried Nian Nian to the principal’s office.

After knowing that Nian Nian wanted to join the school midway through, the principal immediately became extremely welcoming. However, reading between the lines, he needed Chen Xi to pay an extra school construction fee…

Chen Xi roughly understood the ways of a private kindergarten. Hence, he skipped the unnecessary talk and directly swiped his card, paying for the management fees, construction fees, meal expenses and so on.

After swiping, close to ¥20,000 was gone.

This kindergarten was not so particular. Once Chen Xi paid the school fees, the principal immediately called over a woman. She was about 30 years old and gave off a gentle and kind vibe.

Her surname was Wang and she would be Nian Nian\'s homeroom teacher in the future.

Teacher Wang brought the father and daughter pair to the classroom. However, after seeing about twenty plus students who were about her age seating inside the classroom, she instantly became quite timid.

She was so excited a few moments ago, but now, she was like a tomato that had foam all over it, she timidly burrowed herself into Chen Xi\'s chest.

"Papa, I don\'t want to go to kindergarten anymore…"

Seeing this, Chen Xi did not know whether to laugh or cry.

This silly child is still scared of strangers.

However, they were already at this stage. No matter how much Chen Xi dote on her, he knew that he could not allow her to as she pleased.

Everyone would have to experience this at some point in their lives. Since she was already here, she should bravely enter. He could not let her develop a habit of retreating before trying.

"Nian Nian be good. There\'s so many little friends in the class. They will play with you, just follow teacher Wang in."

"No, I don\'t want. I\'m scared…"

The little kiddo pouted, she was on the verge of crying.

Chen Xi had no more ideas and could only look at teacher Wang.

Teacher Wang was used to this type of scene. The children in this class have to cry for half a day whenever they come. Cases like Nian Nian was counted as lucky.

"Nian Nian be good. Come, teacher will bring you in. Don\'t be scared, we will be friends soon."

Teacher Wang indicated Chen Xi to pass Nian Nian to her.

Chen Xi was about to hand over Nian Nian to her when the little kiddo tightly hugged his neck and cried, "Papa don\'t go! Papa don\'t go!"

"Nian Nian, don\'t be scared. Papa won\'t go, I will wait for you outside. Why don\'t you go in and play with the other kids?"

Teacher Wang wanted to carry Nian Nian but no matter what, the little kiddo hang tightly onto Chen Xi and refused to come down.

Her head rested on Chen Xi\'s shoulders, and without saying a word, she opened her mouth and wailed.

Seeing this, teacher Wang indicated Chen Xi to comfort her. Hence, Chen Xi immediately said, "Papa won\'t go, I will wait for you at the gate. Nian Nian, you have to listen and respect the teacher, okay?"

"Okay okay, Nian Nian don\'t cry. You won\'t look pretty if you cry."

"You see, the rest of the kids are laughing at you."

"Relax, papa won\'t go. Papa will be here waiting for you. Papa will bring you home for dinner after school.”

"If you keep crying, papa will tell grandma that Nian Nian cried at the kindergarten today and the rest of the kids laughed at her."

"Nian Nian, you are a good girl. Don\'t cry, don\'t cry…"

After a moment of comforting, the little kiddo reluctantly came down from her father\'s shoulder.

Taking the opportunity, teacher Wang dragged and coed the little kiddo into the classroom.

After Nian Nian went in, Chen Xi did not leave but instead stood at the corridor and silently watched the little kiddo.

The pitiful little kiddo sat in her seat, her movement was a bit stiff. However, the other kids were quite friendly towards her.

Under the teacher\'s instructions, the kids in the room surrounded their new classmate and comfort her.

After getting used to it, the little kiddo glanced back and saw Chen Xi was still there. She finally relaxed and slowly started to play with the other kids.

Chen Xi stood outside for a long time.

Finally, a teacher could not endure it any longer and came out to remind Chen Xi that it was best for a parent not to loiter in the school yard. It was then did Chen Xi finally leave the school grounds.

To be fair, even as a father, he could not bear to part with his daughter.

Although his child was only attending kindergarten and will be back at night for dinner.

Chen Xi felt that his heart was slightly empty, this feeling was so weird…
