Chaochao shook her head vigorously and said excitedly, "Daddy, get up, let's go for a run!"
Upon hearing that he was being told to get up and go for a run, Xie Yan was instantly jolted awake and said with displeasure, "I'm not going, and don't disturb my sleep." With that, he turned over, tucked in the blanket, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep.
Of course, this is also a simple and direct way to express one's firm refusal.
If it were a typical child, they would give up if they saw that an adult was unwilling.
Chaochao is no ordinary child; her perseverance is truly remarkable.
Seeing Xie Yan turn his head away, she immediately went to the other side and continued to shake him, repeatedly saying, "Daddy, get up, get up~"
Xie Yan was so shaken that he couldn't fall asleep at all. He got angry and shouted loudly outside, "Wife, you need to control your daughter! She won't let me sleep!" After shouting, he wrapped himself up tightly in the blanket and tried to fall back asleep.
This is terrible! Going out for a morning run in this cold weather so early in the morning, does he have a death wish?
Chaochao had already spoken with Yu Yuehui, telling her mother not to hinder her father's "progress."
At that moment, Yu Yue was washing her face outside. When she heard Xie Yan's shout, she didn't say anything, but just quickened her washing. After she finished, she left without looking back.
She decided not to get involved in the "battle" between the father and daughter.
Without Yu Yuehui's help, Xie Yan was no match for her overly "outstanding" daughter, and was soon dragged out of bed by Chaochao.
After Xie Yan woke up, his resentment was even stronger than that of the Evil Sword Immortal!
With a dark expression on his face, he stared blankly at the pitch-black sky outside and said irritably, "Tell me, how can I run in this pitch black! Even if I wanted to run, I should at least wait until dawn, right?"
Chaochao remained unmoved. She shook her head and said seriously, "Dad, it's 6:30 now. By the time you get up and get ready, it will be 6:40. It will start to get light outside then."
Xie Yan scratched his head in a somewhat exasperated manner, and said in a pleading tone, "Hey, you're my dad, I'm begging you, I was so exhausted yesterday I was almost paralyzed, just let me get a good night's sleep today, okay?"
I'm begging you!
"Tomorrow, I will definitely get up and go for a morning run tomorrow."
Chaochao stood up like a little adult and said seriously, "No, I'm a girl, how can I be a father? Only boys can be fathers!"
"Moreover, what needs to be done today should be finished today."
"We can't put it off until tomorrow; there will be another exercise tomorrow."
Xie Yan was truly devastated.
Even in her breakdown, Xie Yan was eventually forced to get up and run after much pleading and cajoling from Chao Chao.
After he came out, the cold wind outside intensified his already heavy resentment, making it seem almost tangible. Even Yu Yuehui, seeing him from afar, couldn't help but feel a chill and quickly ran away, afraid of "getting burned."
Even so, when Xie Yan returned from his run and saw Yu Yuehui standing there with a smile, his eyes instantly turned incredibly resentful, as if he were silently accusing this "atrocity".
Seeing this, Yu Yue felt a little guilty, but she couldn't pretend not to see it. On a whim, she quickly handed over Xie Yan's favorite soup dumplings, her face full of a flattering smile, "Try it, these are your favorite soup dumplings, I went to buy them for you this morning."
Xie Yan glared at her irritably, grabbed the soup dumpling, and said in a gruff tone, "Don't think that I'll forgive you just because I slapped you and then gave you a sweet treat!"
"Hmph! Where were you when I called you this morning?"
Yu Yue avoided Xie Yan's gaze, stammering, "Um, I went for a run this morning. When did you call me? I didn't know."
Xie Yan stared straight at her, "Keep making things up!"
"Let's see what tricks you can come up with!"
Unable to bear Xie Yan's resentful gaze any longer, Yu Yuehui had no choice but to surrender, but still tried to argue, "This really isn't my fault!"
“When Chaochao came back yesterday, she saw that you were so tired that you fell asleep, and she insisted that you were not in good physical condition and made you run with her in the morning.”
"I tried my best to persuade her, but she just wouldn't listen. I really didn't know what to do!"
Xie Yan took a big bite of the soup dumpling and said angrily, "Hmph! I think you just weren't trying. If you were truly sincere in your advice, how could you not have a solution!"
"Look what I look like from the cold!" she said, bringing her red, frostbitten face close for Yu Yue to see.
Yu Yuehui was already going along with the flow, and now she felt even more guilty.
"Um, how about I buy you the best skincare products?"
As a married couple, Xie Yan was well aware of Yu Yuehui's little schemes, and angrily took another big bite of the soup dumpling.
He snorted coldly and said, "Didn't you want to save money? What I made for you is much better than what you can buy outside. Why waste money on that?"
After saying that, she angrily took another bite of the soup dumpling, but she was so busy being angry that she didn't notice that the dumpling was still very hot. She grimaced from the heat after taking that bite.
He was both angry and annoyed, feeling that even a soup dumpling was bullying him, so he stubbornly refused to eat it.
Seeing this, Yu Yue smiled and moved closer to him, gently coaxing, "I didn't want this either, but your health is indeed a bit poor. Exercising will be good for your health, won't it?"
Xie Yan turned his head away, seemingly sulking and refusing to listen to her.
As for Chaochao, the culprit, she had long anticipated that Xie Yan might "settle scores" after returning, so she cleverly ran to the next room to hide in advance.
Xie Yan had originally planned to give her a good "settle" when he got back, but he found that she had already disappeared.
However, this did not deter Xie Yan. He had already secretly decided to go find his old classmate Li Zhanyang later.
Li Zhanyang works at a scrap yard, where there are many books and materials. Today, he is determined to pick out some for Chaochao so that she can also experience "bitterness".
Seeing Xie Yan's gritted teeth, Yu Yue thought he was still angry, so she quickly said softly, "Xie Xiaoyan, you know I'm a martial artist. We martial artists have very good physical fitness, which means I might live a long time in the future."
"I just hope that you'll still be by my side when that time comes."
Xie Yan was sulking at the soup dumplings when she heard this. She suddenly stopped, turned around and glared at her fiercely, and shouted, "Of course I'll be by your side! If I'm not by your side, who else do you want to be by your side?"
Yu Yue looked at him and smiled, "I just want you by my side~"
