In the newly opened class for wealthy families, there was a rather special child.
The little boy was named Cheng Wen. His family was in the aluminum mining business.
The child was particularly adorable, but his reactions were slower than those of other children his age.
Most kindergartens were reluctant to accept him.
After Shen Wei took him in, he was placed in the same class as Song Ping An.
Song Ping An, at three years old, didn't speak much, so having him and ChengWen together allowed the two children to encourage each other's learning.
Moreover, with the daily guidance of education expert Weng Lan, it was essentially a private small-group class.
Cheng Wen was a very sensible child, with a chubby appearance.
His large eyes were exceptionally bright, with long eyelashes that were quite beautiful, making people's hearts melt.
Doctor Lu had specifically examined him and found that this child's development was somewhat delayed.
In other words, by current standards, he was a bit slow. Although he was 5 years old, he had the intelligence of a three-year-old child.
But he loved to smile!
Everyone loved to tease him.
Over time, the teachers noticed that it was always the family's nanny who came to pick him up, never his parents.
Cheng Wen's parents were also celebrities, and Shen Wei specially asked Qin Shu to inquire about them.
Only then did they learn that Cheng Wen's parents had a standard business marriage.
When Cheng Wen was born, there were some complications during delivery, and his mother suffered greatly.
His father was at the mining site and didn't return. When the child was born, due to prolonged amniotic fluid retention, he didn't cry immediately. His lung development was poor. By the time he was two years old, it was discovered that the child had some congenital intellectual issues.
The family had never had much affection for this son.
Later, they had another son.
The younger son was healthy and intelligent, and most of the family's love was poured into him.
Shen Wei felt somewhat melancholic after hearing this, but it was a family matter, and others had no right to comment.
The wealthy class that Cheng Wen was in attracted a lot of attention from netizens.
While other children were eager to show off, Cheng Wen always remained quiet and well-behaved.
The kindergarten teachers would ask small questions every day for everyone to answer, such as who they loved the most.
When it was Cheng Wen's turn, he said, "I love Mommy and Daddy the most!" He then flashed a brilliant smile.
The teacher pinched Cheng Wen's cheek, and Cheng Wen even leaned in closer, making it easier for the teacher to do so.
Cheng Wen, with his intellectual deficiencies, lived next door and was cared for by the nanny.
In contrast, Cheng Wen's younger brother, only three years old, was surrounded by luxury in everything he ate and used.
Even his baby crib cost over 300,000 yuan.
The nanny, seeing Cheng Wen's eyes light up as he spoke of loving his parents, felt a mix of emotions.
For a moment, she even had the uncharitable thought that it was fortunate Cheng Wen was the way he was. If he were a normal child, wouldn't he be heartbroken seeing his parents' favoritism?
Cheng Wen attended Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Starry Sky Kindergarten was known for its daily live broadcasts.
There were always people who would cater to others' interests. For instance, one of Cheng Wen's father's business partners saw the broadcast, cut out the child's part, and sent it to his father.
At that moment, the child's father was smoking outside the mining area.
Suddenly, he received a video from his business partner. He opened it and saw it was his son.
His reaction was indifferent.
For an ordinary family, 20,000 yuan a month might be a significant expense.
But for them, not just 20,000, even 200,000 a month wouldn't be an issue.
This child had already been given up on by the family. His low intelligence was seen as a disgrace to the family. Many times, they had forgotten they even had this "eldest son."
Now, watching the edited clip of the child, he viewed him as he would a stranger's child.
He was cute, but there was no emotional response.
It wasn't until the child said in his sweet voice that he loved Mommy and Daddy that Cheng Wen's father fell into an unusual silence.
He watched it only once before being called away for business at the mining site. He finished his cigarette and went back to work.
It was just a slow son, they were wealthy enough to support him for life, but that was the extent of it.
Originally, the child's father didn't have deep feelings for him; parental love is often cultivated over time.
Given the child's condition, he didn't want to waste energy on him.
But seeing the child's eyes full of filial affection, saying he liked his daddy, the feeling grew slowly.
It wasn't until the evening, when no one was around, that Cheng Wen's father returned to the villa.
He was surprised to find that the aftereffect was quite strong.
Every time he closed his eyes, he could see the child.
He then opened a short video platform and searched for Cheng Wen.
Cheng Wen's slow reactions hadn't been publicized by the teachers.
So netizens didn't know, and many liked him, saying the child was handsome.
But there was very little material, because while many children were eager to show off, his son just stood quietly with one hand behind his back, listening attentively to the teacher.
This made Cheng Wen's father mutter, "What a little fool."
This little fool was his son.
The son he had never cared about since birth.
He had never missed any of his younger son's growth milestones, so in his mind, he had always thought he only had one son.
Now seeing this silly child say he liked Mommy and Daddy,
The words echoed in his mind, and late at night, he opened his business partner's WeChat and watched the video several more times.
When the child spoke, his eyes seemed to shine with light.
The current project was almost finished anyway, so he decided to return home early.
He specifically went to the villa complex where his eldest son lived. The child was playing with building blocks at home.
There was no one to play with him, just a lonely little figure.
The sight made his father's heart ache.
He went over, and when the little one saw his dad, his eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Daddy!" Then his soft, chubby body lunged forward.
Cheng Wen's father had never been this close to Cheng Wen before and didn't know how to react for a moment.
But when Cheng Wen jumped towards him, he instinctively reached out to catch him.
The baby was chubby, and Cheng Wen had never been in his father's arms before. This time, he showed an unusual dependence.
Cheng Wen's father's body was a bit stiff: "What are you playing?"
"I'm playing with building blocks."
Cheng Wen's father said, "Daddy will make you fly."
Cheng Wen was already 5 years old, and it was only thanks to his father's regular workouts that he could lift his son.
As he lifted him up, the little one's laughter almost became continuous, both scared and excited, just like when he was younger.
The nanny found it amusing and took a picture to send to the lady of the house.
Cheng Wen's mother was in the villa next door.
She didn't want to see her foolish son, but saw the video sent by the nanny. Her husband was actually playing with their eldest son, which felt incredibly unfamiliar.
It was just an ordinary video, but Cheng Wen's mother watched it many, many times.
"What's going on?" She felt somewhat puzzled.
The nanny said, "I'm not sure. When the master came back, he's been accompanying Young Master ChengWen, playing here."
Cheng Wen's mother snorted. Then she casually asked, "How is he now?"
The nanny replied, "Young Master Cheng Wen is now in the internet-famous kindergarten. They have daily live streams there, and sometimes Cheng Wen's class is featured. It's quite interesting!"
The lady impatiently snorted again. The nanny didn't dare to say more and subsequently ended the call.
However, the next day, the lady deliberately watched the child's live stream.
The little boy was happily running and jumping around in the kindergarten. Though his face showed innocence and naivety.
But the parents knew that this child had few playmates since he was young. He had always been lonely.
This realization made both husband and wife feel a bit uncomfortable. Their intentional neglect had hurt the child. Fortunately, there was Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Looking at ChengWen online, as innocent as any child, NiuNiu liked to play with him.
The child hadn't been this happy for a long time.
