Bai Yun'an really couldn't understand children's thoughts, he felt.

[Hiss... Could it be that Mom doesn't know how to handle this kind of people-pleasing personality? She made Juanjuan cry, and Juanjuan knows that I told Mom, so she's looking at me like that?]

[After all, only Hammer and I knew that Juanjuan was worried that her parents wouldn't like her, so Juanjuan would definitely know that I was the one who told her.]

Rather than waiting for Juanjuan to find out on her own, it's better to...

"Juanjuan, I'm sorry, I did tell Mother about this. I just thought that Mother and Father wouldn't dislike you just because you don't do chores!"

"I think your parents love you very much. I didn't expect that I would make you unhappy and make you cry. I'm so sorry..."

Juanjuan looked at her third brother, who was apologizing to her.

He quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "No, no."

"Huh? What's that?"

Bai Yun'an was puzzled, but he patiently waited for Juanjuan to continue and reveal more information.

"It was Mommy who said that..." The little one lowered his head slightly, trying to hide the embarrassed smile on his face: "She likes Curly too!"

Bai Yun'an: ?!

[System, activate affinity points! Activate them now! Activate them quickly! Activate them!]

This was the first time Bai Yun'an had been so eager to see the changes in favorability rating.

When Bai Yun'an saw that the favorability value had increased significantly, jumping directly from 25 to 39, he felt that he had finally waited for this day.

He looked at the child in front of him who, although he had cried, was clearly much happier.

I felt genuinely happy.

Perhaps it's because the favorability rating has finally increased.

Or perhaps it was seeing a silly child who made them realize that they could be liked even without trying to please others.

That's right! Be confident, it's great.

As Bai Yun'an was thinking, he caught a glimpse of Juanjuan, the little guy, looking at him.

The little child's face revealed nervousness. When he looked at him, he clearly wanted to look away, but he still mustered up the courage to meet his gaze.

Then.

He saw the little guy, whose cheeks were already a bit chubby and who had two small dimples when he smiled, give him a shy and clear smile.

The little guy said, "Thank you, Third Brother."

Those innocent, clear eyes met his gaze steadily, without flinching or looking away.

His sincerity and gratitude were evident.

Bai Yun's heart skipped a beat.

It's a very strange feeling.

It's like...

You raised a delicate flower in your hopes of selling it for money, but despite your best efforts and every possible method, you still couldn't get it to bloom.

Just when you were about to give up, it suddenly bloomed and even shyly nuzzled against you.

You're happy, but a somewhat complicated feeling is mixed in—surprise, pride, and reluctance, like the strange feeling of raising a child.

Bai Yun'an has not yet responded.

Little Curly, who had just thanked Third Brother, immediately took off running.

It's not hard to guess why the child suddenly did this.

Shyness and embarrassment practically permeate my entire being.

Bai Yun'an stared blankly for a moment, then chuckled helplessly.

Bai Yunxing, who had just walked over, asked, "What's wrong, Juanjuan? What are you laughing at again?"

Bai Yun'an braced himself with his hands behind him, casually leaning back, his legs swinging back and forth slowly, clearly in a good mood.

"you guess?"

Bai Yunxing: "You're teasing the child again!"

Bai Yun'an: ?

Where did you get this conclusion?

absurd!

After washing Dog Egg.

Jiang Dai and Bai Tian led the boys and girls back to their rooms respectively.

The side room is a "boys' dormitory".

Bai Tian: "Dog Egg has already taken a bath and is clean. Why aren't you sleeping next to him?"

The twins, Bai Yunxing and Bai Yun'an, remained silent.

It's not because I don't want to sleep next to my older brother that I don't want to be near him.

Instead, the older brother would sometimes kick someone while he was sleeping at night.
