The hotpot restaurant was a little far from where the mother and son lived. It was located near the university plaza. The restaurant had a great number of high reviews online.
Jiang Tingxu was sure that those reviews were real and were not fabricated by the owner.
It was said that even celebrities secretly visited this restaurant.
The only downside for Jiang Tingxu was that the crowded university plaza after five. The traffic was also a headache as the plaza was filled with people who wanted to grab some food.
That was why Jiang Tingxu gave up driving and chose to take the subway.
In any case, as long as it was with Jiang Tingxu, little Ningning didn’t mind which kind of transportation they used.
However, the subway station was still some distance away from their home. It would normally take about five to six minutes on foot. But with this little guy, it would take them at least ten minutes.
Fortunately, the surrounding greenery was well done. Some trees provided shade for them. From time to time, a breeze blew through. The cool wind made it not so hot.
“Jiang Tingxu, why have you taken the subway before?”
The little guy asked while they were walking. He was a little unhappy that he had never taken the subway before. But he kept his proud expression.
And, he was also very jealous.
He was jealous of his mother.
Jiang Tingxu noticed her son’s envious gaze. She could not help but smile.
“Mommy used to take the subway to the university. The subway station was just outside of my school. It’s very convenient and very fast!”
The little guy began to count with his fingers, mumbling to himself, “Kindergarten... elementary school... middle school... high school... university.
“Jiang Tingxu, Ningning still has many, many years of school before he could go to university!”
“Uh, yeah. Why?”
He sniffed and pouted.
“Nothing. I just felt that it will take a long time.”
Jiang Tingxu laughed out loud.
“My son, it won’t take too long. You’ll get there in the blink of an eye. Look, you’ve grown so big, haven’t you? You were just a tiny, little human not too long ago.”
Huh?
“Was Ningning a tiny, little human in the past?”
The little guy shook his head repeatedly at the thought of that. He did not want to admit it at all.
“Haha, that’s right. You’re squishy. Do you want to see some photos?”
Jiang Tingxu had pictures of her son after he was born on her phone.
The little guy hesitated for a moment but nodded in the end.
“Yes, I want to see.”
What a cute tsundere.
“Wait a minute, let me find it.”
When Jiang Tingxu was flipping through the photos, little Ningning held the corner of his mother’s clothes so that she wouldn’t accidentally bump into a tree or something.
If there was a stone in the way, he would pull his mother around to avoid it.
It had been too long. It had been several years. It took Jiang Tingxu a while to locate the photos.
“Here, look.”
When the little guy saw the wrinkled skin and the red buttocks, he was completely stunned. He thought he looked like an old man.
“Jiang Tingxu, did... did you pull up the wrong photo? This is definitely not Ningning. How ugly!”
Haha~
Hahaha~
“No, that’s you. It’s when you came out of mommy’s womb. All babies are like this. They’ll look better after a few days. If you don’t believe me, take a look.”
The little guy couldn’t accept it. He squinted his eyes and swiped through the photos on the phone. After a few more photos, it was just as his mother had said. He looked much better in the photos.
His eyes, which had previously been just a slit, suddenly turned into big, watery eyes. His skin was fair and tender, and his entire body was chubby like a little bun.
He was a tiny, little human.
Although he was not willing to admit it openly, he couldn’t look away and tried his best to not blink as he looked at the photos.
