With his consent, Youyou was elated and took Yueyao into his arms. The little one, who was initially grinning broadly, did not react at first. However, after a short while, her expression started to turn stormy, just like the night before. After whimpering for a while, she blinked and two drops of tears formed!
Then very quickly, tears streamed down her cheeks, as she started to bawl loudly!
Youyou was caught off-guard. Looking into her wide open mouth, he could even see the quivering little fleshy bit deep in her throat!
“Wahhhhhhh!”
She cried so loudly that it shook the heavens and the earth. She even lifted her little foot and kicked his arm, kicking and kicking as if she despised him.
She was kicking with great force as well, causing Youyou to squirm in pain, but he dared not let go for fear of dropping his little sister.
Auntie Yue quickly took the child from him. After coaxing her for a long time, the child finally settled down in Yun Shishi’s arms!
Seeing this situation repeat itself, Youyou was extremely upset. He hid in a corner with his handsome brows slightly furrowed. Disappointment was written all over his face!
Yun Shishi could not see his disappointed expression, but Mu Yazhe could. He stood the boy before him and stared into his face. “What’s wrong? You don’t look happy?”
“Daddy…”
Youyou fiddled with his soft fingers aggrievedly. His eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice became choked with tears. “Does Little Sister not like me?”
Startled, Mu Yazhe frowned and said, “How can that be?”
“Little Sister must hate me! Otherwise… why would she cry whenever I carry her!”
Youyou sobbed as if he had suffered a great grievance. His tears fell at once. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and sniffled. He was extremely sad!
He rarely cried and rarely showed the sort of helpless and flustered expression that was on his face now. He always looked calm and composed. It was probably because he was too upset, and a little afraid, that his thoughts started to run wild. He was worried that his sister really hated him, so he felt aggrieved.
Mu Yazhe had never been good at comforting others. Seeing how sad the little lad was, he could only pat his shoulder lightly, but that did not really achieve anything with the child.
Yun Shishi’s heart ached when she heard that. She immediately said, “Youyou, don’t let your thoughts run wild. Why would your little sister hate you?!”
“Then why does she cry whenever I try to carry her?”
Youyou was heartbroken as tears rolled down his cheeks. He was now crying even harder than Yueyao. “I don’t want my sister to hate me! I like Little Sister so much; I thought she’d like me as her brother too!”
Mu Yazhe hugged him gently. Little Yichen stood beside him too, but he did not know how to comfort him.
At this point, Auntie Yue walked over and said with a smile, “Youyou, could it be that the smell of Chinese medicine on you is too strong? Although your sister is still young, her nose is very sensitive. Naturally, she won’t like the smell of Chinese medicine!”
Upon hearing this, Little Yichen immediately leaned over to sniff at Youyou and nodded. “Hmmm, the smell of Chinese medicine is indeed a little strong!”
He had been drinking Chinese medicine the past few days.
“Is that really the case?” The boy stopped crying. He raised both arms and sniffed himself, but could not smell anything.
Because he had drunk Chinese medicine himself, his nose was already used to this smell and had become unconscious of it!
He had a weak heart and every season, if he did not take care of it, he would suffer palpitations.
