The day we set off for Pingjiang to attend the engagement banquet was in March. Beijing had just stopped providing heating, and the temperature was still low. The spring breeze brought a chill.

Jiang Chengsi was a lively young man, and recently, having plunged into the river of love, he dressed stylishly, wore sunglasses, carried a small suitcase, and was carefree yet neat.

But when he arrived at the old residence, he was assigned tasks.

The old lady placed a pile of things in front of him, "These are Mutang’s diapers. You must carry them properly."

"Here are the baby bottles. Be careful when you carry them, and also his favorite toys."

"Oh, and here are the gifts for your Grandpa Tang and the others. You should carry them too and handle them with care. Wanwan needs to take care of the child, and Xiaowu needs to look after her, so all the luggage is entrusted to you."

Jiang Chengsi was dumbfounded. He was just there to attend an engagement banquet.

Jiang Jinsang, that bastard, clearly had Jiang Jiu and Jiang Cuo to order around, yet he didn’t bring them to help and was ordering him instead?

The old lady saw him dawdling and poked his leg with her walking stick, "What are you standing around for? Get moving already."

...

Jiang Chengsi was dressed coolly, but ended up as a laborer.

It was Jiang Xiaowai’s first time on a plane. Tang Wan had even consulted Zhou Zhongqing about what precautions to take when flying with an infant. She was worried that the child might be uncomfortable, but Jiang Xiaowai was excited instead.

"Heehee—" His little face was pressed against the window, refusing to sleep.

This troubled Tang Wan. She hadn’t really rested last night while taking care of him, and she was starting to feel sleepy.

"Tired? Let me hold the baby so you can rest a bit." Jiang Jinsang took the child from her hands.

"Aren’t you tired yourself?" To stay in Pingjiang a few more days, Jiang Jinsang had finished his recent work in advance. He was new to business, not as experienced as Jiang Yanting, and also returned to the room at three in the morning.

"I’m a bit tired, but it’s manageable."

"Then let me soothe the baby."

"Or maybe Fourth Brother can take him."

Jiang Chengsi was originally sitting in the row behind them, wearing a baseball cap tilted to one side, sunglasses, and headphones, looking like a cool guy.

Before he knew it... 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The baby was handed over to him.

"What... what is this?" Jiang Chengsi was stunned.

"Help take care of him, Wanwan and I need to rest," Jiang Jinsang said matter-of-factly.

"No, I... how..." Jiang Chengsi looked at the baby in his arms, completely bewildered.

He had no idea what he was here for?

Carrying diapers and bottles was one thing, but now he was holding a baby—were they really treating him like a nanny?

"He likes looking outside the window, just make sure he can see out, and he’ll be good," Jiang Jinsang said directly.

Jiang Chengsi often held Jiang Xiaowai or comforted him before, but always with someone else around. He hadn’t taken care of him alone before.

The main thing was, this little guy was waving his small hands towards the window, babbling something, seemingly hoping Jiang Chengsi would cooperate with him.

"Shh—lower your voice." Babies can’t control their volume, and Jiang Chengsi was worried he might disturb others.

Jiang Xiaowai’s eyes were bright, seemingly wanting him to interact.

"Okay, I see it, it’s really beautiful..."

Jiang Chengsi couldn’t understand a word and could only respond based on his interpretation.

Honestly...

He felt like a fool.

...

Finally surviving the flight, he continued to be a laborer, helping them carry luggage. He couldn’t understand why he was even there?

He originally thought that once they got to the Tang Family, his hard days would be over and surely they’d show some gratitude. But after greeting Tang Grandpa, all of his attention went to Jiang Xiaowai, not sparing any time for him.

It wasn’t his first visit, so he was left to his own devices.

Jiang Chengsi increasingly felt like he was just a tool.

Tang Grandpa took Jiang Xiaowai outside to show him off, eager for all the neighbors and old friends to see how cute his great-grandson was.

Tang Wan personally cooked a meal for her grandfather and father, with Jiang Jinsang assisting, while Jiang Chengsi stood in the corridor having a video call with Si Qingxiao.

"The weather in Pingjiang looks really nice."

"The temperature is very comfortable, but you wouldn’t come even when I invited you." Jiang Chengsi had invited her.

"My mom’s birthday is coming soon, and I want to make her a dress. I really can’t leave."

Jiang Chengsi felt a little helpless and thought his life was too hard. Just as he was about to complain and seek comfort, he mindlessly started teasing a thrush bird in a cage with his finger.
