As soon as the adorable little boy Xiao Wu entered his older brother Qin Yanzheng's room, he "dada dada" came to the bedside and grabbed Qin Yanzheng's big hand with his little hand.
"No."
Qin Yanzheng deliberately teased the little guy.
"No way?"
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, was unhappy: "I'm so cute and well-behaved, and I miss my older brother so much at kindergarten, so why doesn't he miss me?"
As the music faded, his lips pursed so much they could hold an oil bottle.
"Big brother."
The little girl then walked to Qin Yanzheng's bedside and stood next to the adorable Qin Xiaowu.
Hearing his youngest sister call him, Qin Yanzheng smiled slightly and responded softly. Then he asked, "Did Xiao Liu have fun at kindergarten at noon?"
"……happy."
The little girl's voice was soft and sweet.
"Big brother, big brother, are you really not thinking about your cute little brother? If you answer no again, I... I'm going to cry right now, and I'm going to tell sister-in-law that you're bullying me."
Are you scared?
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, was filled with pride.
"Alright, I was just kidding you!"
Qin Yanzheng admitted defeat. He didn't want his wife to know that he, as the older brother, was shameless enough to bully his younger brother who was still in kindergarten.
"I knew my brother wasn't telling the truth just now."
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, said happily, "After all, I'm cute and sensible. How could my older brother not like me after not seeing me for a whole afternoon?!"
"You're quite good at patting yourself on the back."
Qin Yanzheng shook his head with amusement.
What does it mean to "gild one's own face"?
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, has big, dark eyes full of curiosity.
"It's just him praising himself."
Qin Yanzheng responded.
"Big brother, you're wrong!" Little Wu, the adorable child, denied that he was bragging. He said with a proud look, "My sister-in-law and my kindergarten teacher both say I'm a good baby and that I'm very cute!"
"Why do I feel like you're talking too much? Did you repeat what your sister was saying?"
Qin Yanzheng teases the little guy.
"No, no, I don't talk much at all, and I didn't say anything about my sister. It's just that my sister doesn't like to talk."
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, turned his gaze to the little girl and said, "Little sister, tell your big brother, is it that you don't like to talk?"
"...Big brother, little brother is right..."
The adorable little Liu was very cooperative with her older brother.
Qin Yanzheng maintained a faint smile throughout: "Alright, I understand, brother."
Qin Boyan's voice could be heard coming from the courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, I'm back!"
After setting up the bicycle and washing his hands at the tap, Qin Boyan stepped into the kitchen.
As for Qin Yaxin, she stood in the yard for a moment, intending to go to the kitchen to help, but she was too embarrassed to do so and eventually gave up the idea. Just then, Qin Yanzheng's cold and slightly hoarse voice came from the room: "Qin Yaxin!"
"..."
Big brother is really awake!
What did he call her?
Qin Yaxin stood there stunned for a long time before she moved toward Qin Yanzheng's room. It was only a few steps, but it took her almost two minutes to walk.
"Is it very far?"
Perhaps because he was blind, Qin Yanzheng's hearing became exceptionally good. He heard Qin Yaxin's footsteps approaching and immediately said this, his face expressionless and his tone clearly cold.
"Big brother, big brother, it's very close to your room from the yard!"
Little Wu, the adorable toddler, didn't know how to give his second sister Qin Yaxin any face. He blinked his big, dark eyes and said, "My sister and I are small and have short legs. We just washed our hands in the yard and got to our eldest brother's room much faster than my second sister!"
"Okay, I understand, big brother." Qin Yanzheng nodded slightly to his younger brother, then said, "Little Five, you take your sister to play. Big brother and your second sister will talk for a while."
"Okay!"
The adorable little girl, Xiao Wu, happily agreed, then took her younger sister Xiao Liu's hand, and the two little ones took their short legs out of the room.
"Tell me about it."
Once the two children's footsteps faded away, Qin Yanzheng's slightly hoarse voice, tinged with coldness, escaped his lips again. Upon hearing this, Qin Yaxin's lips twitched, and she stammered, "Big brother... what does big brother want me to say?"
"You're pretending to be confused."
Qin Yanzheng wasn't asking; he was stating a fact.
"I didn't know what my brother wanted me to say in the first place, so how can you say I was pretending to be confused?!"
Qin Yaxin couldn't help herself and raised her voice considerably.
"Dad had an accident, Mom passed away, and I haven't been able to contact home for a long time. In the face of this situation, shouldn't you grow up and become more sensible?"
Qin Yanzheng was blind, but his expression and the cold aura emanating from him made Qin Yaxin feel panicked and faintly suffocated.
"You don't want to move out of your old home, and you're the only one in the family who's making a fuss. Last night you wouldn't eat for no reason and started acting up again. Do you think your family will tolerate you and let you do whatever you want like your parents did when they were alive?"
"All you do is criticize me. Am I even your sister?"
Tears streamed down Qin Yaxin's face as she choked back sobs, "I just wanted to live in my old home, I wanted to study and live in Beijing, was that wrong?"
Wiping away her tears, Qin Yaxin became indignant: "Yesterday afternoon after school, I just felt tired and went to my room to lie down for a while. Later, I went to the kitchen to ask if the food was ready. I forgot to address them by name. Is it necessary for them to make a fuss over such a trivial matter?"
Qin Yanzheng's voice was unreadable: "Them? Tell me who you mean by 'them'?"
"Song Lan and Qin Boyan, I hate them. It was such a small thing, and I didn't do it on purpose, so why did they have to make me unhappy!"
Hearing Qin Yaxin's words, Qin Yanzheng asked coldly, "You call Song Lan that? Qin Boyan is your second brother. You don't help cook when you come home from school, but instead go to ask if the food is ready after a while. Do you think others are obligated to cook for you? Even if they are, you don't even use a proper address. Who taught you that?"
Qin Yaxin remained silent, tears streaming down her face.
"You're not young, fifteen or sixteen, but how much manners do you have?"
Qin Yanzheng exuded a suffocating aura: "The Song Lan you speak of is my wife, Qin Yanzheng's wife, your sister-in-law. If you knew anything about manners, you should at least show your sister-in-law the basic respect. As for Qin Boyan you speak of, he is your second brother. As his sister, do you think it's appropriate for you to call him by his first name?"
Qin Yaxin remained silent, letting tears well up in her eyes.
"Let's talk about what you call being tired. I just want to ask, what is your purpose in going to school? It's to study, to lay the foundation for a good job in the future. Even if it's tiring and tough, isn't that what you should bear?"
If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship and toil, what will you do when you start working and face the pressures of family and career? At that point, who do you expect to take care of your life, to arrange everything for you so you can reap the rewards without effort?
