Ye Qingqing took Ye Tong back to the room and brought in the ribs that had been left in the hallway. As soon as the door was closed, Pipi flew onto the plate and ate a rib in a few bites, leaving it clean. I really don't know how this guy, who doesn't have any teeth, can eat so cleanly!
"Eat up, I'll save the best food for you from now on."
Ye Qingqing was very grateful to Pipi. If it weren't for Pipi's help, she and Xiaotong would have suffered a great loss.
"Pipi...eat cookies..."
Ye Tong adored Pipi, so she ran to his room and took out her treasured cookies, feeding them to Pipi in a flattering manner. Pipi, of course, accepted them all without hesitation, stuffing them into his belly like a bottomless pit.
Ye Qingqing watched her younger brother, who was playing happily with Pipi, with a smile. She couldn't help but kiss Xiaotong on the cheek. Xiaotong covered his face in embarrassment, but after a while, he let go, moved closer to Ye Qingqing, put his arms around her neck, and kissed her on his own initiative.
"Hiss..."
Ye Tong's hand touched the wound on Ye Qingqing's neck, which Xu Yuetuan had scratched. She hadn't felt any pain before, but now it felt like it was burning.
"elder sister……"
Ye Tong quickly withdrew her hand, looking at Ye Qingqing's wound with heartache, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It doesn't hurt, sister doesn't hurt at all. No one will dare to bully Xiaotong anymore. Sister will beat the bad guys to a pulp, okay?" Ye Qingqing ignored the pain in her neck and pretended to be fine, smiling at Ye Tong.
"Sister... is the best, I like... sister..."
Ye Tong nestled against Ye Qingqing, his eyes filled with Ru Mu; he adored his sister today.
Ye Qingqing gently pinched Ye Tong's cheek and said softly, "Sister likes Xiao Tong too. I will never leave you again and we will always be together!"
"Mmm... Sister, eat..."
Ye Tong stuffed the chocolate she was reluctant to eat into Ye Qingqing's mouth, her dark eyes clearer than a lake. Ye Qingqing bit off half a chocolate, then stuffed the other half back into her mouth. "Little Tong, you can eat too, but only three. If you eat more, your sister will be unhappy!"
"Hmm... three..."
Ye Tong responded verbally, but his chubby hands counted for a long time without getting it right, because no one had taught him, and Ye Tong still couldn't count.
Ye Qingqing cursed herself for being foolish. She took out several chocolates and demonstrated them to Ye Tong one by one, preparing to teach him to count first.
"This is number one, Xiaotong, did you remember that?"
Ye Tong nodded blankly and took out a chocolate bar. "One."
Ye Qingqing felt a great sense of accomplishment. She then taught Ye Tong to recognize numbers up to ten. She originally thought it would take a lot of time, but to her surprise, Ye Tong learned it very quickly. Basically, Ye Tong could remember it after being taught only once and repeat it accurately.
"Xiaotong, what number is this?"
Ye Qingqing was somewhat incredulous. She took out six chocolates and asked Ye Tong to identify them.
"six……"
Ye Tong glanced at it and quickly spoke.
Ye Qingqing tried other numbers, and Ye Tong pronounced them accurately as well, learning faster than many normal children. Ye Qingqing was overjoyed and even wondered if Ye Tong had returned to normal.
After thinking for a while, Ye Qingqing decided to test Ye Tong's reading and writing skills. However, even after teaching Ye Tong the word "chocolate" until her throat was hoarse, Ye Tong still pronounced it as "pig brother," leaving Ye Qingqing both amused and exasperated.
She tried all night and finally discovered that Ye Tong was only particularly sensitive to numbers and could learn them in no time, but was very slow in other areas and could not learn them no matter how many times she was taught.
Ye Qingqing was both disappointed and happy, but mostly happy. When God closes a window, he often opens another.
Perhaps, the window God gave Ye Tong was his sensitivity to numbers!
