Four-year-old Juanjuan was unloved by her father, ignored by her mother, and bullied by her older brothers. Left to shoulder the burden of a broken family all on her own.
Then one day, her pa...
The three brothers looked at each other inside the room. Although the time was short, it felt like a long time had passed.
Bai Yunqi appeared calm, even curious, and naturally turned to close the door before asking his two younger brothers.
In a state of panic and confusion, coupled with feeble explanations, they chose to turn the tables and blame others.
Why aren't you all asleep? What are you doing up in the middle of the night?
Having seen many storms, Bai Yunqi had his own set of ways to deal with them.
He doesn't need to hide his emotions over small things, which makes people take it for granted, as if he's a straightforward person who can't keep secrets.
That's precisely why, when he faced a major upheaval and pretended to be calm, no one suspected him.
"How long have you been awake? Aren't you sleepy at this hour?"
Bai Yunqi calmly rolled onto the bed, and no one could detect the slightest hint of anything amiss from him.
Looking at this seemingly unassuming older brother.
Bai Yun'an chuckled inwardly, but didn't expose him. Instead, he cooperated by saying, "You just woke up not long ago! Did you go out to pee, big brother?"
"No, that's not right." Bai Yunqi was already lying on the bed, leaning over and looking at his innocent third brother: "To be precise, he went to take a dump."
After saying that, she complained with a hint of annoyance, "My legs are numb from squatting."
It only takes a little longer to pee, but it takes a long time to poop.
Bai Yun'an sneered inwardly. He had thought to himself, "Big Brother is no ordinary man."
He's wise in appearance but foolish in reality; he's even better at pretending than him.
However, it seems that he is still more skilled and has taken the initiative.
"Yun'an, didn't you go out to look for your older brother? Didn't you run into him?"
After a long silence, the second brother, Bai Yunxing, suddenly spoke.
He watched the older and younger brothers answering each other's questions, seemingly trying to move on from the matter, but he felt something was off.
Bai Yunqi: ? Third brother went out to look for him?
Bai Yun'an: I was just saying that the second brother might have been replaced as well, he so clearly grasped the key point.
"Brother, where are you taking a dump? I don't know why I didn't see you in the front yard."
Bai Yun'an's question seemed to have no problem, but it gave a lot of room for fabrication.
Bai Yunqi immediately replied, "Behind our house."
That makes sense. The third brother went to the front yard, and he said he was at the back of the house, so the two of them didn't meet.
"Okay, okay, time to sleep, I'm so sleepy..."
Bai Yunqi decisively ended the conversation, turned over, yawned, and sounded sleepy before going to bed.
Bai Yun'an responded and lay down to go to sleep.
While thinking about it, I wondered when I could also bring my second brother over to see if he had changed his partner.
Bai Yunxing frowned slightly as he watched his brother fall asleep without warning, but he still lay down as well.
It sounds reasonable, but why does he still feel something is off? Is it because he's overthinking it?
...
As the weather gets warmer, it gets light much earlier than before.
A slightly agitated little guy on the bed sat up, yawning and shaking his head, trying to wake himself up.
"Um!"
A slightly hoarse voice rang out, as if someone had been suddenly awakened.
Juanjuan: ? ? ?
The little guy was startled by the sudden noise and instantly woke up.
Turning around, I saw my father sitting up blankly, his eyes still showing signs of exhaustion.
"Father."
Juanjuan greeted her father softly.
Bai Tian yawned, looked at his little daughter who had gotten up early, and replied listlessly, "Good morning."
Bai Tian said he was really tired and hadn't slept well all night.
Jiang Dai was injured and had a fever. He stayed by her bedside and got up to check on her whenever there was any movement on the bed. He really did get up several times.
I just heard some movement on the bed and thought something had happened to Jiang Dai.
It's good that you're alright, it's just that last night...
