Chapter 282: A qualified parent
Ye Jiaojiao is not sure when her senior brother will be able to come back. Apart from Si Ming, the people she trusts most here are the Si family. However, Ye Xiao is unwilling to live in the Si family. He wants to move back to the apartment.
Ye Jiaojiao was worried about Ye Xiao being alone, so the brother and sister came to a stalemate.
When Si Ming came over, he saw the brother and sister, one sitting at the head and the other at the foot of the sofa. They were not talking and were tacitly ignoring him.
"Ahem... cough..." Standing at the entrance, Si Ming acted childishly for once, clearing his throat and wanting to tell the brother and sister that he was coming in. However, his little wife and brother-in-law were determined to ignore them to the end.
After a moment of silence, Si Ming surrendered, pretending nothing had happened. He came to sit next to Ye Jiaojiao, paused for two seconds, and suddenly said, "The apartment has been renovated. If you want to move back, then move."
Hearing Si Ming say this, Ye Xiao raised his head and gave his cheap brother-in-law a good look: "When are you moving?"
Si Ming: "Tomorrow."
Ye Xiao: "Okay!"
After two rounds of conversation, Ye Xiao was satisfied. He hinted to his cheap brother-in-law to persuade his stupid sister on his behalf, and then went back to his room to pack his things.
The door closed, and Ye Xiao disappeared. Before Ye Jiaojiao could ask, Si Ming took the initiative to explain: "Jiaojiao, Ye Xiao won't be willing to live in the Si family. He has a strong sense of self-esteem and will feel that he is a burden to you."
Si Ming is a meticulous person. After learning that his little wife did not have the memories of the original owner, he spent a lot of effort to investigate the situation of the original owner and Ye Xiao.
According to the results obtained by Si Ming, the original owner and Ye Xiao were both abandoned babies, and they grew up in an orphanage.
In the early years, the original owner did care about Ye Xiao, but later he was gradually dazzled by the colorful world outside.
Ye Xiao has a strong sense of self-esteem, and so does the original owner.
Two people with strong self-esteem living together led to their relationship gradually becoming less close.
Later, the original owner abandoned Ye Xiao for more than two months without any news.
When she appeared again, the person was no longer the original owner but Ye Jiaojiao.
Ye Jiaojiao treats Ye Xiao as her own brother and tries her best to consider him.
Si Ming could see that Ye Xiao cherished the family affection that was lost and regained.
He didn't want to be a burden to Ye Jiaojiao.
Living in the Si family, with Ye Jiaojiao and Si Ming not at home, was equivalent to entrusting Ye Xiao to Ye Jiaojiao's husband's family, and Ye Xiao didn't want this.
Si Ming told Ye Jiaojiao his thoughts. After listening, Ye Jiaojiao was silent for a long time, with a hint of hesitation and confusion in her eyes: "A Ming, should I let Ye Xiao grope his way forward on his own?"
Like a toddler learning to walk.
What the other person needs is guidance, not you holding him and moving forward all the time.
"Jiaojiao is a qualified little parent now." Si Ming was very pleased to see that Ye Jiaojiao understood what he meant so quickly.

The next morning, at five o'clock, the alarm clock rang. Ye Xiao subconsciously got up and changed his clothes when he heard the ringing. It was not until he rushed to the door that he realized
He is leaving the Fifth Army garrison base today and will no longer have to train with the recruits.
Ye Xiao retracted his steps and returned to the bedroom.
He got up so early and didn't know what to do, so he was stunned for a moment.
Half an hour passed in a flash, and Ye Xiao's laptop rang. It was Caesar calling.
The video call was connected, and Caesar's nonchalant look appeared in Ye Xiao's sight. The moment he saw Ye Xiao, he immediately yelled, "What's going on? Did you go to the kitchen to steal some delicious food last night? It's already half past five! Where are you?"
"I'm not coming." After hearing Caesar's roar, Ye Xiao lowered his eyes quietly.
On the other side of the computer, Caesar raised an eyebrow with a sly expression, "Little guy, you're not asking for leave, are you? Major Elena's whip has no eyes!"
"No." Ye Xiao pursed his lips, gave Caesar a disapproving look, and told him that he was leaving the base and that school was about to start. To Ye Xiao's surprise, Caesar's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, still as smug as ever: "Hmm? What does this have to do with you not coming to training today?"
Without giving Ye Xiao a chance to refute, Xize muttered about the rules of the Fifth Army, saying that he would only give Ye Xiao ten minutes and told him to hurry over, otherwise he would be whipped.
After thinking for two minutes, Ye Xiao finally arrived at the training ground within the time set by Caesar.
As soon as Ye Xiao stepped into the training ground, he was hugged by Caesar. After Caesar stepped back, he was followed by another recruit who usually took good care of Ye Xiao.
Everyone took turns to beat up Ye Xiao, and in the next two hours of training they kept increasing the difficulty for Ye Xiao, making him so tired that he completely forgot the discomfort he felt when he just got up.
"Smelly boy, remember to come play with us next time!"
"That's right, you said you've been following us for so long for nothing, and you dare not come when school is about to start? Even if Major Elena agrees, I won't recognize you!"
"It's so fast, a month has passed in a flash."
"Don't you want to be an excellent soldier? When you grow up, remember to come to the Fifth Army. We'll protect you and make sure you climb the ladder quickly!"
"Hahaha! How can you stop bragging? Don't sacrifice yourself before Ye Xiao grows up! What will you be able to protect then?"
"Bah! Shut up right now!"
Ye Xiao was forced by Si Ming to join the team of new recruits for training and he was more or less stubborn at first. Now he was surrounded by everyone, who were obviously a group of rough men and their words were not nice, but Ye Xiao's eyes still turned red.
He didn't know how to express himself, so he just stood there, with a slight smile on his lips, quietly listening to everyone's jokes about him and their yearning for future military life.

After packing up, Si Ming sent Ye Jiaojiao and Ye Xiao back to the apartment.
This time they brought back not only Ye Xiao's gift, but also Ye Jiaojiao's.
Si Ming had never intended to let Ye Jiaojiao live with him in the Fifth Army’s base from the beginning, so it would be better to move back to the apartment all at once.
The brother and sister spent the whole morning cleaning up their rooms. At noon, Ye Jiaojiao prepared to go to the kitchen to cook something.
She hasn't been live streaming or cooking in the past few days, and she has had enough rest.
Unexpectedly, Si Ming still stopped her.
"A Ming, I was just a little weak last time, but I'm fine now." Looking at Si Ming who was blocking the kitchen door, Ye Jiaojiao was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She's not a porcelain doll.
You can't just stay away from the kitchen completely after feeling exhausted once, right?
"Order takeout yourself, I'll take your sister away." Holding Ye Jiaojiao in his arms, Si Ming didn't say anything. He turned his head and threw a word in Ye Xiao's direction, then gave him a big red envelope.
Happy to receive a huge sum of money, and thinking that it was Si Ming who helped him persuade Ye Jiaojiao to let him move back, Ye Xiao retracted his gaze and pretended not to see anything. Ye Jiaojiao was just pulled away by Si Ming.
Si Ming took Ye Jiaojiao to his villa not far from the apartment building.
She went straight to the kitchen. Just when Ye Jiaojiao thought Si Ming just wanted to have dinner with her alone, she saw Si Ming take out the most popular apron sold on Star Online from the cupboard. The next second, he put the apron on himself?!
Si Ming frowned and stood in front of the stove with a serious look.
At the door, Ye Jiaojiao tilted her head and blinked blankly: "A Ming?"
