During dinner.

Fourth Brother then said, "Ye Yichen, you never care about Xiaoxi. Look how thin she's become!"

He frantically served food to Xiaoxi, and Ye Yichen was equally busy.

Several plates were piled up in front of her, but fortunately, Xiaoxi is a big eater and finished them all in no time.

"Ye Yichen, how do you usually take care of the child? Xiaoxi is so hungry!"

Xiaoxi and her seventh brother exchanged glances: Never mind, fourth brother just got back, let him read it.

As soon as Xiaoxi lay down that night, she took out her master's book and started reading.

Ye Wentao knocked on the door and came in: "Xiaoxi, your fourth brother will tell you a story."

Xiaoxi discreetly put away the book and moved further inside.

Fourth Brother sat on the edge of the bed, speaking with great emotion: "A long, long time ago, a family of deer lived in the forest..."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Ye Yichen appeared.

"What are you doing here? You're usually so busy, you probably don't have time to spend with Xiaoxi before bed."

"After all, I work in education. I'm already a PhD student at your age, so I understand early childhood education."

"Yes, you're absolutely right, my dear professor!"

Ye Yichen sat down on the other side of Xiaoxi's bed.

"Xiaoxi, let me tell you some interesting stories about when I was a child, learning business knowledge from my teacher."

Someone actually came to steal his business? Ye Wentao was displeased.

"Xiaoxi doesn't want to hear your old, trivial matters."

And look at you! Is this the room you cleaned for Xiaoxi? A little girl's room should be pink.

"No, Fourth Brother! Xiaoxi doesn't like pink or any other pink colors in the room. It makes her dizzy when she comes in!" This is just right, it's elegant and comforting.

Ye Yichen smiled smugly: See? Xiaoxi likes my arrangement.

Ye Wentao was a little embarrassed.

"Xiaoxi, are you hungry? Fourth Brother will make you a midnight snack. When I was abroad, I often cooked for myself..."

After Ye Wentao finished speaking, he went out to make arrangements.

Ye Yichen burst into laughter.

"Xiao Xi, do you want your seventh brother to go find you some food too?"

Xiaoxi also laughed.

"No, Seventh Brother, you know Xiaoxi is on a health regimen, which includes not eating at night." Of course, the lobster barbecue stall incident that day was a coincidence.

A short while later, Ye Wentao returned with a large plate of food.

Xiaoxi couldn't refuse, so she had to accept everything. However, she couldn't think about reading or practicing her skills before bed.

This scene plays out every day: Xiaoxi's two older brothers vie to tell her bedtime stories or feed her late-night snacks, leaving her feeling helpless.

Fortunately, the world is quiet during the day.

Ye Yichen used to go to the company every day, but Ye Wentao returned to China for Xiaoxi's sake and now goes to the Shanghai Education Bureau every day to clock in.

Xiao Xi went back to the cabin during the day to keep busy, as she had to refine elixirs for Seventh Brother's teacher.

The pills were refined in the morning, and Xiaoxi studied talisman techniques in the afternoon.

She was very interested when she first started drawing, until her hand got sore.

Xiaoxi complained to Xiaodou.

"The talisman techniques that Master taught are good, but they have to be drawn one by one. How can Xiaoxi draw them all by herself?"

"What if we encounter a crisis later? Xiaoxi doesn't have many talismans, and if she throws them all away, wouldn't that be dangerous? It would be great if we had a large quantity of talismans, the kind we couldn't possibly throw away."

Little Bean was only focused on munching on its nut snacks.

Vague "Hmm!" "Ah!" "Oh!"

Actually, it's: Xiaoxi, you're just lazy. You're overthinking it. Aren't talismans drawn one by one?

Seeing that Xiaodou was ignoring her, Xiaoxi slumped onto the tatami mat.

After a while, Xiaodou thought she had fallen asleep, but Xiaoxi suddenly sprang up with a somersault.
