What was going on?
Why did he have such a dream?
Youyou held his forehead as his temples throbbed. His veins were bulging so much that they looked like they would burst!
“What’s going on…” The pain drove him to gently knocked on his temple. Just as he stood up, he heard a clear cry from next door.
“Boohoo…”
“Waah…”
It was Yue Yao.
Youyou got out of bed and opened the door. Yueyao’s room was right next door. He walked in and switched on the lights. He could vaguely see a pair of tiny hands and feet flailing about in the crib.
He walked to the crib nervously and saw that Yueyao’s face was flushed from crying and her eyes were wet with tears! The boy bent over slightly and lifted her up in his arms. Now that he had learned how to carry a
child, he could pick up Yueyao comfortably!
Surprisingly, the child stopped crying when he picked her up! She widened her tear-stained eyes in curiosity, then gently blinked as her tears continued to flow!
However, almost at once, the girl opened her mouth to reveal two snow-white front teeth and laughed!
“Hehehehe…” She giggled happily and actually extended her tiny saliva-covered hand to touch his face.
Youyou frowned and pushed her hand away in disdain. He muttered, “Don’t touch my face with your dirty hands.” He gave her tiny hand a slap and Yueyao retracted her hand in pain. She pursed her lips pitifully and
looked like she was about to burst into tears!
“Sob…” She curled her tiny hand and stared at her brother innocently, looking like she was about to say something!
However, she had not completely learned how to speak yet. She could only utter a few clumsy words.
“Big Brother… hug…” Yue Yao carefully extended her chubby little claws and opened them, asking for a hug. “Big Brother, hug hug…”
Youyou was stunned. He looked at Yueyao and then at her glistening saliva-stained fingers. Despite his disgust, he frowned and held her wrist as he guided her hand. Yue Yao tried to grab his face with her saliva
covered hand.
At this point, Yueyao finally stopped crying. She grinned and grabbed his tender face, refusing to let go. This made her laugh happily!
Youyou touched her face and suddenly heard Yun Shishi’s voice coming from behind. “Why are you awake?”
He turned around and saw her standing in the doorway, her gaze was soft and gentle. Embarrassed, the boy tried to put Yue Yao down, but she clung to his clothes like a kitten, unwilling to let go.
Yun Shishi was a little surprised and asked, “Yueyao seems very attached to you. She doesn’t easily allow people to carry her!”
Youyou was stunned. “Oh, really?”
“Uh huh, you probably don’t remember. In the past, she’d start crying and kicking if anyone carried her for too long. You and I were closest to her. I didn’t expect that she’d be so attached to you still, after you’ve been
absent for more than a year.”
Oddly, Youyou found it heartwarming to hear this.
“She’s hungry.” Yun Shishi walked over and said to him, “Keep carrying her. I’ll heat up some milk.”
Youyou did not say anything else apart from a soft, “Uh huh.”
Yun Shishi smiled and left..
