A striking snake at its vulnerable spot (5)

lizes everything she knows. A single true thing becomes tenfold in her telling, let alone the completely fabricated ones. For those, she uses the tactic of "true and false," weaving "neither real nor..."Whoa!" Lin Meng warned.

Xiao Hao stuck out his tongue, but just as Lin Meng turned her head to look back at the computer, he glared hard at Rong Hengduo. When he saw that Rong Hengduo had settled down at the small table so early and there was a plate of fresh and delicious food on it, his little mouth pouted.

This little table was specially made by daddy for him and his older brother. It's made of good wood and is very smooth. It even has a small drawer where they can put their little things. But ever since Rong Hengduo came, the table that originally belonged to him and his brother has been divided into fourths by Rong Hengduo. Before, Rong Hengduo was only allowed to use it for 2 hours every day, but now he comes over so early. Xiaoh hao feels like some of his own things have been taken away again. And the watermelon, oh my! It's cut beautifully, just the right size, easy to eat, and even has the black seeds removed. At first glance, it's Mommy's masterpiece, but Rong Hengduo has tasted it.

Xiaohuo reached out and tugged at Xiaoyou's sleeve, gesturing for him to look over there.

Little Youyou furrowed her brows, glanced at Rong Hengduo a few times, and gave Little Haohuo a look, signaling him to stay calm. Seeing that Little Haohuo received the message, she winked at him, then walked towards Lin Meng.

"Mommy!" Xiaohua clung to her mother, acting cute and wanting attention.

"Just a moment, Mommy, Mommy is almost finished with this document!"

Xiao Youyou let out an "oh" and looked up. Lin Meng's saying "wait a moment" was true to its word, it was only about two minutes before she put down her pen and shifted her gaze from the document to Xiao Youyou.

"Are you thirsty"

"I'm so thirsty, it's almost too hot outside!"

Lin Meng gently touched his little forehead and wiped the sweat from his brow. Then she looked at Xiao Haohuo.

Go, you go wash your face and hands, Mommy will cut watermelon for you to eat!

"Okay!" The two little ones happily and unanimously replied, quickly went to wash up, and soon "da da da" ran back, gathered around Lin Meng, watching her cut the watermelon. As she was cutting, little Youyou opened her mouth.

"Mommy, I want to eat..."

That "eat" character was drawn out long, with a very strong air of coyness, especially endearing. Lin Meng just picked up a piece that had just been cut and stuffed it straight into the little guy's mouth, which was wide open in perfect cooperation.

The little one took a bite, and red sweet juice immediately flowed from the corner of their mouth.

“Sweet...”

Lin Meng squinted and smiled, reaching out to wipe the juice from her mouth.

The little guy was eating and smiling with his eyes closed, his narrow eyes curving like a little fox. The bright black eyes that were exposed seemed to be brighter, and there was a spark of cleverness in them. Lin Meng couldn't help but soften his heart, as sweet as honey.

"Eat slowly." The gentle reminder, full of pampering.

Little Hao looked with drool, unwilling to be outdone, immediately opened his little mouth. "Mommy, Hao Hao wants it too."

Lin Meng wiped her hands with a towel and picked up a slice of watermelon, stuffing it into Xiao Haohuo's mouth. Xiao Haohuo puffed out his cheeks and took a bite, smiling like a little squirrel. The child had been lying down for the past few days, his skin became very white, tender and smooth, with the natural delicacy of a child, he was very endearing to look at.

"Eat slowly, finish your meal and take it yourself. Munch, the toothpicks are here!"

"Mommy, feed me, mommy's feeding is so sweet!" Little Youyou quickly swallowed and said sweetly. Looking at Lin Meng's eyes, round and bright, with a pleading look.

Although Rong Ling said that sons shouldn't be spoiled and should be disciplined strictly, at the right time, they still need to be spoiled. After all, he's your own treasure! Who else would you spoil if not him Feeding watermelon is just a small thing!

She picked up a piece and stuffed it into the little boy's mouth. Little Haohao on the other side also sped up, like a hungry fledgling bird, quickly "ah ah ah"ing, opening his mouth wide again. After taking a bite of the watermelon sent over, Little Haohao smiled, glanced at Rong Hentuo, and when he saw that his gaze was really on her, he smiled even brighter, but in his eyes there was a warning glint.

Humph, you don't stand a chance against us for Mommy!

At that moment, it was a fleeting expression, not even lasting a second, something completely unlike what one would expect from a five-year-old. Yet, there it was. Sometimes, genetics and background predetermine someone's uniqueness from the very start.

“Mommy’s having some too!” Little Youyou’s voice rose in excitement. Only then did Xiao Haohuo look away, and he saw Mommy smiling sweetly as she lowered her head to take a bite of the watermelon that her older brother had passed to her. A pang of remorse flashed through his heart as he thought, “How could I not have thought of that My brother is really my brother.” Determined to not be outdone, Xiao Haohuo also offered some watermelon to Lin Meng.

Lin Meng giggled nonstop because both of them were good children, both good little treasures.

"Alright, alright, Mommy will eat by herself. You guys eat, eat more. You just came back from outside, you must be thirstier than Mommy."

"Hee hee, Mommy eats too, let's eat together." Little Youyou gently walked around and started eating himself, while also feeding Lin Meng. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Rong Hentuo already lowering his head.

He hummed to himself!

At last, Lin Meng cut the watermelon into two bowls and let the two children eat them. She tidied up and went to wash her hands. Staying at home, with a gentle breeze blowing, it wasn't hot, so eating just a little was enough. When the two saw her go out, they carried their small bowls to the small desk and pretended to eat "slurp slurp" noises, deliberately disturbing Rong Hengduo. Their eyes were not trying to hide anything, they just stared at him openly.

At this point, the two of them were acting like children.

Rong Heng's eyes were focused straight ahead, his mind calm. He worked diligently, and once finished, he continued eating watermelon while keeping an eye on the two others. The three of them formed pairs, their eyes locking in a silent stare-down. Occasionally, sparks seemed to fly when their gazes met, igniting a fierce but wordless battle. This tense standoff lasted until Lin Meng returned, bringing it to an abrupt end. The three children lowered their heads, and at that moment, they all ate with admirable grace.

The three of them basically had the same thought: their war was theirs, but they couldn't worry or upset Mommy (the stepmother).

After the watermelon was finished, Lin Meng cleared the dishes and gently wiped the mouths and faces of the three children. She instructed them to play while she continued processing the information she had brought from her aunt. She was taking over the mantle, and in the short term, there was a lot to read through. Many things needed careful consideration and deep understanding so that she could quickly assimilate them into her own knowledge.

Youyou and Haohuo went to play together in a corner, while Xiaoba brought over a set of Go. Rong Hengtuo didn't go with them. Instead, he took out a black travel bag that he had put aside earlier. He found a relatively open space and opened the bag, taking out everything inside one by one. When there were only a few things left, he lifted the bag up, turned it upside down, and let everything fall onto the floor.

"Clang clang --"

He made such a commotion that it was hard not to attract everyone's attention. Youyou and Haohuo, two young children who were originally concentrating on playing chess, immediately looked over. Seeing the scattered plastic, steel sheets, copper wire, screws, small motors, welding equipment and other things on the ground, their eyes both lit up.

Then I saw Rong Hengduo spread out a book like a large drawing, picked up a piece of steel, and started tinkering with it. He lay half on the ground, holding a pen in one hand and a ruler in the other, and began to draw. After a while, he took out scissors and started cutting. The two small ones, even from seven or eight meters away, could see what was drawn on the drawing book lying flat on the ground. It was a tank!

Is he going to build a tank!

The two youngsters narrowed their eyes and glanced at each other, pretending to each hold a piece while secretly focusing on Rong Henduo. As they saw the tank taking shape in his hands, the treads becoming increasingly defined, the two youngsters couldn't contain their excitement. They were always fascinated by weapons! They never expected Rong Henduo to have this skill and be able to build a tank himself.

Xiaoyou stood up. He wanted to see what Rong Hengkui was really capable of!

As soon as he left, Xiao Hao naturally followed.

Xiaoyou glanced at the picture book. The tanks on it were drawn quite realistically, and each part was clearly labeled with its specific name. But what's the point If it's just a tank's exterior, that's not very impressive; even a three-year-old could do that.

Xiao Youyou hummed softly to herself.

It seemed as if Rong Hengduo could hear the dismissive snort. He raised his hand, flipped through the picture book, revealing a new page - a diagram of a tank's layout. Rong Hengduo's flipping speed wasn't fast or slow; Xiaoyou glanced at it and saw a structure resembling that of a tank's interior.

Is he trying to go big!

Rong Hengduo flipped through it again, and Xiaoyou scanned over structures similar to engines, wheels, machine guns, and turrets. Although he only glanced at it for a moment, it was clear that Rong Hengduo had put in quite a bit of effort. It seemed like he was serious this time.

Finally, Rong Hengduo's moving hand stopped. On the screen was a magnified image of a track, accompanied by several explanations. Rong Hengduo stared at it for a while, then fiddled with his things again. Looking at him, he seemed to have a plan, and a well-thought-out one at that.

Little Youyou stayed silent, standing to the side and watching. Little Haohuo also followed her gaze, his expression conflicted. Sometimes he seemed touched, other times he pretended to be indifferent.

Lin Meng got empty lifted his eyes to look, see these three little fellows like this, also just faintly smiled, don't go to pay attention.

Just like that, a long time passed. Rong Hengduo wiped the sweat from his forehead and raised his head.

"Interested" The tone was cold, devoid of any flattery.

Xiaoyou remained silent, while Xiaoh hao hummed on his behalf.

"What you did is too ordinary, what kind of interest do you have!"

Rong Hengduo wasn't annoyed, he knew it wouldn't be so easy to get the fish completely on the hook. Haohao might seem tough-mouthed, but if he truly wasn't interested, why would he stand here for so long without leaving

"You're so small, what do you know!" He first looked down at Xiao Haohuo slightly, and sure enough, it provoked his glare.

Rong Hengduo continued to boast proudly, "Wait until I finish this tank, and you'll see its power. This is my entry for the competition, and I'm going to win first place nationally for my uncle and aunt!"

What!

To help Daddy and Mommy win first!

Xiaoh couldn't be bothered, you're not showing up in front of my dad and mom on purpose, are you And, you're just kissing up! The best in the whole country!

It's truly awful, this Rong Hengduo is nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing!

Little Hao became angry.

----Aside----

【About the Update】 I've been revising the second volume of "My Little Wife" for publication submission. This is a meticulous and massive undertaking that requires a lot of time and effort. I'm close to burnout, but if it means being able to publish the book, I'll still try my best! I want to give "My Little Wife" a happy ending, and I also want to give all of you readers a satisfying conclusion!

Actually, writing and revising at the same time is especially tiring. It's basically like using both hands to do different things simultaneously, which can be really frustrating. The only thing keeping me going is the thought that people are waiting to read my work. No matter how tired I am, I can't give up on updating here. I have to grit my teeth and persevere.

I'll do my best to keep updating daily, but for now the word count might be a little short. Please bear with me. Once I've made some adjustments, I'll write a bit more every day.

Thank you for your support! Please understand! o(n_n)o~
