"Zijin, Niuniu, I brought you some goodies!"
Ye Feng took out the iced sour plum soup he brought back from the Ye family in Kyoto.
Xuanyuan Zijin and Niuniu held small bowls and drank from them in big gulps.
"Dad, it's delicious, I want more!"
Zijin handed the empty little bowl to Ye Bian with a smile on her face, looking extremely cute.
Niu Niu held the empty bowl in her little hands, with a hint of longing in her eyes, but she just stood obediently behind Zi Jin and said nothing.
Ye Feng filled both of them up, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Niuniu was really too well-behaved and sensible.
There is no fighting or competing, it feels like a guest here rather than a member.
He didn't want Niu Niu to be like this. He had promised Tianqizi to take good care of Niu Niu, and he couldn't go back on his word.
Then, he pulled Niuniu in front of him:
"Niuniu, if you have anything you want in the future, just tell me and I will satisfy you. This is your home, don't be so reserved!"
"In my eyes, you and Zijin are the same."
Niuniu's eyes were filled with tears unconsciously. She gently placed the small bowl in her hand on the table and threw herself into Ye Feng's arms:
"But...but Niuniu is a child without roots now. Niuniu has never seen her parents, and her grandfather has left. Niuniu is afraid that her big brother will leave too."
“I don’t want to be a homeless child.”
Ye Feng hugged Niu Niu gently. He knew that it was like you attending a friend's party and you thought you two were the best friends in the world.
However, at the party you see that your friend has the same or even better relationship with someone else than you.
If you are a sociable person, you will quickly integrate into the big group.
But if you are not good at socializing and there is no one you know at the party, a feeling of loneliness and caution will occupy your entire heart.
You find that you cannot fit in with this group, so you will cautiously shrink into a corner where no one cares, watching those people talking and laughing happily with envy.
Now Niu Niu is the latter. She doesn’t know anyone except Ye Feng, and she is trying hard to integrate into this group.
But it's too difficult, because there is a little darling Xuanyuan Zijin. As Ye Feng's biological daughter, others care about Zijin much more than Niu Niu.
It’s not that I don’t care about Niu Niu, it’s just that there is a gap. This is also the reason why Niu Niu is cautious now. She is afraid of being abandoned.
So she wanted to become stronger, to the point where she could protect Ye Feng, so that Ye Feng would not abandon her, and she would still have this family...
Ye Feng seemed to see his own shadow in Niu Niu, his obsession with home and his attachment to family affection.
He hugged Niuniu tightly:
"It's my brother who didn't take good care of you."
"No, big brother takes good care of Niuniu, it's just that Niuniu is scared."
Niu Niu wiped her tears and gently patted Ye Feng's back with her little hands.
"From now on, Niuniu must tell big brother anything she wants or anything that makes her unhappy."
Ye Feng spoke softly. He knew that this would not be achieved overnight, but he could not let this situation continue.
Niu Niu pinched the corner of her clothes and nodded.
Xuanyuan Zijin stood there blankly, feeling a little lost. She didn't understand what had just happened.
Ye Feng pulled Xuanyuan Zijin over and pinched her nose:
"Does Zijin like Sister Niuniu?"
"like!"
Xuanyuan Zijin nodded heavily. Niuniu was like an older sister, infinitely tolerant of her mistakes.
I will also play with her and stay with her.
In her eyes, Niu Niu is not only a good playmate, but also like a real sister to her.
"What if Sister Niuniu gets bullied?"
"I'll beat up anyone who bullies Sister Niuniu!"
Xuanyuan Zijin waved his little fist, as if beating him wasn't enough, and then added:
"I'm also going to give him the drink I carefully prepared."
Thinking of Xuanyuan Zijin's "drink", even Ye Feng couldn't help but shudder. That drink was not a good thing. Thinking of the appearance of Xuanyuan Ming, the poor brother-in-law, Ye Feng felt that Xuanyuan Zijin was still a little cruel.
This was when Xuanyuan Ming only talked about beating up her father...
"We don't necessarily have to get to this point."
Ye Feng rubbed Xuanyuan Zijin's little head. This little girl has not yet formed a sense of right and wrong. You can't just kill someone for just a few words. Isn't this a witch?
His daughter Zijin is so cute, she can’t be turned into a witch that everyone hates.
Xuanyuan Zijin pursed his lips:
"Then I have no other way to help Sister Niuniu."
"You can talk to Daddy, Daddy will help you. If you feel that Sister Niuniu has been wronged, just call Daddy."
Ye Feng spoke seriously, saying that he could judge what Xuanyuan Zijin could not.
He wanted Niu Niu to be a member of his family, not a child who hid in a corner afraid of being abandoned.
Xuanyuan Zijin suddenly hugged Niuniu:
"Don't worry, Dad. Even if those aunts bully Sister Niuniu, I will definitely scold them."
Ye Feng's face was full of black lines. This was true, but this look of sacrificing one's own family for the sake of justice could easily offend people.
"Don't worry, I will talk to your aunts about this matter."
Ye Feng tapped Xuanyuan Zijin's smooth forehead:
"Don't tell your aunts about this. You've worked so hard to build a good relationship with them, you can't ruin it."
There are many women around him, but he can care and take care of a child that is not theirs. He already admires Zijin's ability to please others.
Xuanyuan Zijin hugged Niuniu and said with a smile:
"Sister Niuniu, from now on, Daddy will be our backer. If anyone messes with us, I'll have Daddy beat him up."
Niu Niu felt warm in her heart, and the two little girls hugged each other tightly, leaning on Ye Feng's arms.
Ye Feng hugged the two little girls and his eyes fell on Ye Jinyan who had been watching all this in the dark.
He released the two little brats and wiped the remaining tears from Niuniu's face:
"Niuniu, did you remember what big brother said today?"
"Uh-huh!"
Niu Niu nodded with an innocent smile on her face.
"From now on, you two must support each other, especially Zijin, as your task is the most difficult."
"Sister Niuniu isn't good at expressing herself, so you have to be her mouthpiece and help her tell me what she needs."
"Now I am handing this difficult task over to you. Do you have the confidence to complete it?"
Ye Feng smiled and handed the responsibility to Xuanyuan Zijin.
Xuanyuan Zijin imitated the soldiers on TV and stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes, sir!"
"Hahaha"
Ye Feng laughed out loud at Xuanyuan Zijin's appearance.
Niu Niu on the side couldn't help laughing.
Xuanyuan Zijin tilted his head cutely. Is there anything wrong with doing this?
