Chapter 90
Everyone present was stunned by Cao Yuhao's shout.
Mu Yicheng, who reacted quickly, quickly stood up from the ground, walked over and squatted beside Cao Yuhao, and coaxed him a little helplessly: "Don't, don't cry, sister Yaoyao didn't mean it."
Lou Yaoyao, who was rubbing her aching head, immediately looked up and said, "I did it on purpose. Who told him to push our blocks?"
Seeing this, Cao Yuhao, whose crying had been gradually subsiding, suddenly let out a loud cry, raising the volume of his crying by two degrees.
Mu Yicheng, who was squatting next to her, felt his ears buzzing from the sudden rise in voice. He quickly said, "Don't cry. Sister Yaoyao was just teasing you."
Lou Yaoyao on the side immediately said: "I didn't, he is just annoying."
"Ahhh..." Cao Yuhao raised his head and howled even more heart-wrenchingly.
Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the ground with a building block in her hand, was frightened by the sudden loud crying and her body trembled, and she almost dropped the building block in her hand.
Jiaojiao was a little frightened. She turned her head left and right and blinked when she didn't see her father. Then she struggled to get up by supporting herself on the ground with her little hands, walked forward staggeringly and covered Cao Yuhao's mouth with her hands.
Cao Yuhao, whose mouth was suddenly covered, stopped crying and looked at Jiaojiao with tearful eyes.
Jiaojiao, meeting his gaze, said very seriously, "Don't cry, just make a noise."
"Wow, wow, wow..." Cao Yuhao, who had always had a good impression of Jiaojiao, was really crying this time.
Xiao Tiancheng, who was changing clothes in the room, heard the crying and thought it was a little familiar. When he was about to share it with Cao Yuhao, he turned around and saw Cao Yuhao still in the room.
After a moment of hesitation, he reacted and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back. Without even buttoning his clothes, he turned around and ran downstairs.
This is Director Cao’s son. If anything happens to him, it will be a big problem!
Xiao Tiancheng, who had rushed down from upstairs, saw Jiaojiao covering Cao Yuhao's mouth. He was furious and shouted, "What are you doing, you little brat?"
As he said this, he strode forward and pushed Jiaojiao away, then bent down and picked up Cao Yuhao who was sitting on the ground crying.
Jiaojiao was pushed back two steps and fell on her butt. The fall was quite severe and the pain was so severe that her eyes immediately turned red and she started to cry.
Everyone present was focused on the wailing Cao Yuhao. Only Lou Yaoyao, who was standing nearby, saw her brother fall. She immediately put her hands on her hips and angrily said to Xiao Tiancheng, "You pushed brother Jiaojiao down. Say sorry now."
Xiao Tiancheng, who was busy coaxing Cao Yuhao, didn't listen to what Lou Yaoyao was saying at all. Being ignored, Lou Yaoyao stomped her feet in anger and turned around to help Jiaojiao angrily.
Jiaojiao, who was crying in pain, sniffed and tried not to cry when he saw sister Yaoyao and brother Mumu coming to help him. He raised his little hands to wipe his tears, then slowly climbed up by supporting himself on the ground.
Xiao Tiancheng, who was standing aside holding Cao Yuhao and anxiously coaxing him, didn't notice Jiaojiao's situation at all. When no matter how he coaxed him, it didn't work, he turned his head and saw the bottle of milk on the carpet beside him. Without thinking, he picked it up and stuffed it into Cao Yuhao's mouth.
Things like bottles often have an unexpectedly strong soothing effect on children. With the pacifier stuffed in his mouth, Cao Yuhao instinctively began to smack the pacifier, and his crying stopped immediately.
Cao Yuhao stopped crying. Jiaojiao, who had just stood up and saw that her milk had been drunk by Cao Yuhao, couldn't help crying out "Woo..."
Seeing Jiaojiao crying, Lou Yaoyao and Mu Yicheng kept trying to comfort him: "Don't cry, Jiaojiao, are you hurt from the fall?"
"Wuwu...Jiaojiao...Jiaojiao's wuwu..." She raised her hand and pointed at Jiaojiao who was holding the bottle in Cao Yuhao's arms, crying in grievance.
When Jiaojiao started crying, the assistant director beside her became extremely anxious. Considering that this was a live broadcast and he couldn't rush over, he just stood aside with a frighteningly dark face.
Lou Yaoyao, who understood what Jiaojiao said, immediately exploded with rage. She strode up to Xiao Tiancheng with small steps and said in a baby voice, "Uncle Xiao, how could you steal Jiaojiao's things? Jiaojiao is crying. Give it back to him!"
Hearing this, Xiao Tiancheng frowned. He turned his head to look at the pitiful crying child standing not far away, his heart filled with impatience. However, thinking that this was a live broadcast, he softened his voice and said, "Jiaojiao, right? Give this to Brother Yuhao first. I'll make you a new bottle later. If one bottle doesn't work, how about two bottles?"
Jiaojiao, crying so hard, didn't hear his words clearly. Her tearful eyes stared straight at the bottle in Cao Yuhao's arms. Seeing that this uncle refused to return her bottle, Jiaojiao, feeling extremely aggrieved, clasped her little fingers and cried sadly: "Wuwu... Jiaojiao's... Jiaojiao gave... to daddy... Wuwu..."
That was what Jiaojiao left for her dad because she was hungry and didn't drink it...
The netizens who were watching this scene in the live broadcast room were immediately furious.
"Fuck, how could he push such a small child?"
"He didn't even care when the child fell?!"
"Fuck, I used to have some feelings towards Xiao Tiancheng, but now it's all gone."
"My whole family was shocked. The child was so small and looked so soft and tender. How could he have the heart to do that to her?!"
"And he took the baby's bottle without even asking!"
"Doesn't Xiao Tiancheng know that it wasn't this kid who made Cao Yuhao cry? He's being too protective of his own child. It can't really be said to be his fault!"
"That's right. Xiao Tiancheng's mistake was that he was too protective of his child. Besides, he didn't know that the bottle belonged to the child. He just took it in a hurry. Is it necessary to be so harsh on him?"
"And didn't Xiao say he would compensate the child with two bottles? The child is still crying. Could it be that he wants more?"
"Children in orphanages are terrifying. They're already scheming at such a young age!"
"Fuck, are you guys not seriously ill? A child got pushed and fell for no apparent reason, and then their bottle was snatched away, and you're not even allowed to cry, right?"
"Xiao's fans are so scary, they don't even let go of a two-year-old child. I suddenly have doubts about Li's efforts to suppress his negative information."
"Li Yubai, come quickly, your child is being bullied!"
"Come and kick that Xiao away and let him know what true protection is!"
When netizens called out to him, Li Yubai was picking onions, ginger and garlic in the small vegetable garden behind the kitchen.
There is a small door in the kitchen, which connects to a small vegetable garden outside. Some common vegetables and onions, ginger and garlic are planted in it. Therefore, new parents need to go out and pick the necessary onions, ginger and garlic themselves.
When they go out to pick, the staff will not remind them what the onions, ginger and garlic look like in the fields. The purpose is to see whether the new fathers and mothers can successfully identify the onions, ginger and garlic, and what jokes they will make in the process of looking for them.
Li Yubai, who had successfully collected onions, ginger, and garlic from the field and received a bunch of vegetables from Lu Yian for helping him, heard crying the moment he returned to the kitchen.
He frowned, put down the things in his hand, washed his hands hurriedly and walked out.
Someone who recognized Jiaojiao's cry arrived before anyone else did: "Why are you crying?"
The aggrieved Jiaojiao turned around and saw her father, tears streaming down her face. She immediately ran forward with her hands outstretched: "Wuwu... Daddy... Daddy, hold me..."
Seeing Jiaojiao crying so hard that her face turned red, Li Yubai looked very unhappy. He strode forward, bent down, and hugged Jiaojiao in his arms. He asked in a cold voice, "What's wrong?"
Jiaojiao cried heartbrokenly, lying on her father's arms with her head tilted to one side. Her little hands tightly clutched the clothes on her father's chest. Big tears fell from her red eyes. Her intermittent little voice was filled with grievances: "Jiaojiao... wu... Jiaojiao... the bottle... is for daddy... wu... it's gone..."
Listening to his intermittent words, Li Yubai's eyes grew colder. He patted Jiaojiao's sobbing little body soothingly, and looked at Xiao Tiancheng with a cold gaze: "Give it to me!"
Xiao Tiancheng frowned: "It's just a bottle of milk. There's no need to take it back if the child has already drunk it. I'll bring you another can later."
Cao Yuhao also likes to drink milk, so he prepared a lot in advance when he came.
Li Yubai strode forward, approaching Xiao Tiancheng. His height advantage allowed him to look down on him. "Hasn't anyone taught you not to take other people's things? I'll say it again: give it to me!"
Xiao Tiancheng's face immediately turned ugly. He wanted to get angry on the spot, but he was concerned that this was a live broadcast. He was unwilling to just give it away. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your child made my child cry. Isn't a bottle of milk too much to pay as compensation?"
"Uncle Xiao, it wasn't Jiaojiao who made him cry. It was Cao Yuhao who knocked over our building blocks. I bumped into him, and that's why he started crying." Lou Yaoyao, who was very responsible, raised her little hand and said, "But you can't blame me. He was the one who did the wrong thing first. Children who do wrong should be punished."
Hearing this, Xiao Tiancheng's expression froze. When he was about to say something, he saw Li Yubai directly raised his hand to take the bottle from Cao Yuhao's hand, and then handed it to Jiaojiao who was still crying in his arms.
Xiao Tiancheng raised his hand to stop him, but failed because Li Yubai was too strong. He felt embarrassed and gritted his teeth secretly.
Jiaojiao held the bottle again, looked at the empty milk, pursed her lips and tried hard to hold back her tears, but she couldn't help it.
"Dad." Jiaojiao looked up at her father, tears welling up in her red and swollen eyes. She looked so pitiful. She sniffed and stumbled, "Jiaojiao is hungry... No, no drink... Save some for Dad... No more... Woo..."
Li Yubai's eyes narrowed when he understood the meaning of Jiaojiao's words. He lowered his head to look at the child in his arms, met his red eyes and eyes full of grievance. He pursed his lips, raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes with the tip of his thumb.
Warm tears soaked the skin between his fingertips. Li Yubai's heartbeat subconsciously slowed down, and his voice softened unusually: "It's okay, I'm not hungry. The meal will be ready soon. I'll make you a bottle later. Don't cry."
"Yeah, don't cry." Jiaojiao held the bottle in her arms and lay on her father's arms with her head tilted: "Jiaojiao, be good, Ma, I will stop crying soon."
Shi Yue, who came out from the kitchen to watch, saw this and turned around and wiped her eyes.
"Why are you crying? Did you cut your hand?" Shen Yingke, who was busy cooking, asked in confusion after glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.
"No." Shi Yue smiled sheepishly: "I was just a little sentimental, and when I saw the child crying, I couldn't help it."
Shen Yingke glanced outside. Because she couldn't leave the pot on the fire without someone, she just ran out to see if Shi Huairou was okay, then hurried back: "What's going on?"
"It seems that Cao Yuhao snatched the child's bottle." Shi Yue said.
"No wonder, kids of this age usually cry because of these things... Ouch, it's messed up, it's messed up!" Shen Yingke was halfway through her words when she frantically picked up the spatula to try to save it.
Compared to Shi Yue and the others who knew the end but not the beginning, the netizens who watched the whole process from beginning to end were full of anger and directed it at Xiao Tiancheng.
"This Xiao, he didn't return the bottle even though I asked him to. Does he feel happy seeing other people's children crying?"
"That's right, he doesn't know how to comfort her when she cries, and even when I ask him to return the bottle, he makes all kinds of excuses!"
"And that was something a hungry kid left for his dad. I was so sad!"
"Seeing my little baby crying so hard, my heart ached too."
"Oh, what a treasure this is! He's even drinking milk from his daddy!"
"No wonder he held back his tears when he fell earlier, but burst into tears the moment he saw his bottle being snatched away!"
"The comments are enough. It's obvious that a two-year-old cub would not leave food for his father while he's hungry. This is obviously a script, a script specifically designed to discredit my Xiao family."
"Well, everyone knows what an orphanage is. At first, I didn't understand why this child was so fair and tender. Now I know, it turns out he's just sweet-talking and can tell lies to trick people!"
"Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Don't use your limited knowledge to judge things beyond your understanding!"
"Wow, how can something like that be beyond your comprehension? At least be reasonable when you're being so boastful!"
"My son even recognized the trafficker earlier!"
"It's like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. If it were me, I'd also be out there accusing anyone I catch of being a bad guy. If one day a blind cat also catches a dead mouse, maybe it'll even make the news!"
"Also, what's with Li's tone? Doesn't he know how to talk properly? He just started grabbing it. My brother's hand was even red from beating him!"
"That's enough. I've never seen anyone so harsh on a two-year-old. Xiao's fans have really broadened my horizons!"
Mr. Jun, who was watching the live broadcast, also saw the chaotic comments on the barrage. He frowned and asked Jun Zhengyu beside him, "Is the Internet so chaotic nowadays?"
His little grandson Jun Che had woken up once and fell asleep again. The doctor checked and found nothing wrong. That's why Grandpa Jun decided to watch the live broadcast that saved his precious grandson.
This is what I saw when I looked up!
Jun Zhengyu frowned: "I have never paid attention to the entertainment industry. This is my first time to come into contact with it."
"Buy some milk powder for the child later. He looks so pitiful crying!" said Mr. Jun.
People of his age can't stand seeing children crying, let alone this child saved his grandson!
"I got it. I'll go right away." Jun Zhengyu said and turned to walk out.
In addition to him, Xiao Yun also planned to buy milk powder and send it over. This was the baby who saved the younger brother of her brother's good friend. In other words, it was her own baby, so of course she had a different filter for it.
As for how to send it after buying it? Isn’t it her good friend Qin Luoqian who can help her?
In the small building, Jiaojiao, who had been crying, lay in her father's arms and refused to get down.
Li Yubai didn't force him to get down. Instead, he held Jiaojiao and sat on the sofa. After Jiaojiao's emotions calmed down a bit, he touched his head and said, "I'm going to cook. If I don't, you'll be hungry soon."
Jiaojiao understood and nodded: "Do it, cook, don't go hungry."
"Then get out of my arms first, okay? Otherwise you won't be able to cook."
Jiaojiao, lying in her father's arms, hesitated for a moment and nodded her head: "Okay, Jiaojiao, be good!"
At this moment, Xiao Tiancheng brought down a can of milk powder: "Here, this is for you as compensation."
Cao Yuhao, who was sitting on the carpet playing with toys, saw his milk powder being given to someone else. He looked up at Jiaojiao, whose eyes were still red, then lowered his head without saying anything and continued to play with his toys.
Li Yubai was not polite. He took the milk powder and made a bottle for Jiaojiao.
Holding the bottle of milk again, Jiaojiao was visibly happier. He handed the bottle to Li Yubai and said, "Daddy, Daddy, have some."
Li Yubai lowered his head to look at the corners of Jiaojiao's eyes, which were still red, and remembered what he said when he was crying. For a moment, he seemed to be possessed by a ghost. He picked up the bottle, unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
The rich aroma of milk wafted from his mouth. Li Yubai's mind instantly cleared up and he lowered his eyes to hide the surprise in his eyes. He closed the lid and stuffed the bottle back into the child's arms.
After seeing daddy drink the milk, Jiaojiao, who was holding the bottle, curved her eyes happily, and shook her little head happily while drinking the milk.
Li Yubai, taking in his happy little look, sighed in his heart, no longer dwelling on his previous actions, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, this milk powder tastes pretty good!
Li Yubai thought so while standing in front of the stove.
