"Yiyi, are you hungry? Do you want to get up and eat something?"
As soon as the little guy came back, he went upstairs without eating a single bite. He must be hungry now.
Shen Shiyi nodded his head, “I’m a little hungry.”
"Then let's get up and eat something." Shen Mengchu said as he helped Shen Shiyi up from the bed.
"Then what does Yiyi want to eat?"
"Noodles, noodles cooked by Mommy herself." Shen Shiyi emphasized, fearing that Shen Mengchu had misunderstood something or that he had not explained it clearly.
"Okay, Mommy will cook noodles for you."
Chen Mengchu is not very good at cooking, but she cooks noodles very well because she thinks that although she can not cook rice, she must know how to cook noodles.
Because she wanted to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for her two children on their birthdays.
So, she only learned how to cook noodles.
"Let's go downstairs and Mommy will cook you some noodles."
Chen Mengchu carried Chen Shiyi off the bed and took her hand downstairs.
As soon as I went downstairs, I ran into Lu Jingxiao who was going upstairs.
"What's wrong? Yiyi, are you not feeling well?" Lu Jingxiao's tone immediately became urgent.
Before Chen Mengchu could explain anything, Chen Shiyi explained first: "No, Yiyi is not feeling unwell, Yiyi is just hungry."
Lu Jingxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Shiyi say that he was hungry.
"Then Yiyi, whatever you want to eat, Daddy will ask the chef to make it for you."
Lu Jingxiao squatted down and asked Shen Shiyi, just to have a better conversation with her, and also to show his respect for Shen Shiyi.
“Eating noodles, can Daddy cook?” A sense of fun rose in Shen Shiyi’s heart.
"Yes." Lu Jingxiao said without hesitation.
"Really? You're not lying to Yiyi?" Shen Shiyi asked Lu Jingxiao with some doubt, his tone full of disbelief.
"No, Daddy will never lie to Yiyi, never." Lu Jingxiao swore that from now on he would not lie to them, nor would he let anyone bully them.
"Then you cook noodles for Yiyi, okay?" Shen Shiyi looked at him with eyes full of anticipation, hoping that Lu Jingxiao would agree to his request.
Just when Shen Mengchu was about to speak up to "save the situation"...
Lu Jingxiao has already agreed.
"Yiyi and Mommy, go sit on the sofa and wait, okay?"
"Okay." Shen Shiyi took Shen Mengchu's hand and sat on the sofa.
On the sofa.
Shen Shiyi turned on the TV and watched cartoons. Seeing her engrossed in watching, Shen Mengchu got up and walked into the kitchen.
"Lu Jingxiao, can you really do it?" Shen Mengchu was a little worried. It was not that he was afraid that he would not be able to do it well, but he was afraid that he would not be able to do it and disappoint Shen Shiyi.
Seeing Chen Mengchu's worried look, Lu Jingxiao's mouth curled up slightly, "Are you worried about me?"
"No, I'm just worried that you won't do well and Yiyi will be sad." Chen Mengchu explained with a cold face, fearing that Lu Jingxiao would misunderstand something.
The smile on Lu Jingxiao's lips froze, but his voice was still gentle, "Don't worry, I won't let Yiyi down." I won't let you down either. Lu Jingxiao didn't say the rest of the words, but he repeated them many times in his heart.
Although Chen Mengchu did not answer, he nodded very seriously.
"I'll go check on Xiaoyan. If he's not asleep, ask him to come down and eat with us."
After all, it was Lu Jingxiao’s first time cooking.
Although Shen Shiyan had eaten, he still had to ask, because he didn't want him to think that they only loved his sister and not him.
Chen Mengchu turned around and went upstairs.
On the second floor.
Shen Mengchu raised his hand and gently knocked on Shen Shiyan’s door.
"Xiaoyan, are you asleep?"
Chen Mengchu asked the people in the room softly and gently.
"Xiaoyan."
"Baby Xiaoyan."
There was no sound or response from the person inside.
Just when Shen Mengchu was about to leave, the door opened with a click.
"Is Xiaoyan asleep?" Shen Mengchu asked Shen Shiyan softly, instead of blaming him for opening the door so late.
"I didn't sleep." Shen Shiyan confessed honestly, not wanting to hide it from Shen Mengchu.
"What's wrong with Xiaoyan? Are you unhappy?"
Shen Mengchu bent down and looked at Shen Shiyan who was standing at the door. He seemed very unhappy and sad.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Mengchu took his hand and explained patiently and gently: "Xiaoyan, if you want to tell me, tell me. If you don't want to tell me, I won't make it difficult for you, understand?"
Shen Shiyan nodded, tears welling up in his star-like eyes.
"Mommy, it's my fault that I didn't protect my sister and let her get hurt."
Shen Shiyan’s face was full of self-blame, and his tone was full of complaints about himself.
After hearing this, Chen Mengchu finally understood why he was so depressed.
At first, he thought those classmates said something unpleasant that made him so unhappy, but now it seems... he blames himself for not protecting his sister.
Shen Mengchu's heart ached. She squatted down and hugged Shen Shiyan into her arms. She comforted him gently in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoyan, you did very well. You protected your sister well."
"This matter is not to blame, Xiaoyan, and you don't have to blame yourself. Didn't you stand up for your sister? Didn't you beat him up too?"
Shen Mengchu brought up the incidents one by one just to prevent Shen Shiyan from continuing to blame himself.
Shen Shiyan got up from Shen Mengchu's arms and said in a hoarse voice, "But my sister is still injured."
"The injury was caused by carelessness, not Xiaoyan's. You have done very well." Shen Mengchu touched Shen Shiyan's little head to comfort and encourage him.
He is already great. He knows how to protect his sister, knows that those people's words are not nice, and knows how to protect himself. He did nothing wrong, but did it very well.
"Be good, mommy will feel bad if you do this, okay?" Shen Mengchu looked at Shen Shiyan with eyes full of heartache.
Shen Shiyan nodded with red eyes, “Okay, Xiaoyan understands.”
"Great!" Shen Mengchu touched Shen Shiyan's little head and praised him.
At this time, the self-blame on Shen Shiyan's face dissipated a little.
"Lu Jingxiao made noodles, Xiaoyan, do you want some?"
"He made it? Is it edible?" Shen Shiyan's eyes were full of confusion and disgust.
"Why don't you try it, Xiaoyan? You only had a little porridge for dinner, aren't you hungry?" Even though she was concerned about Shen Shiyi, she also noticed Shen Shiyan. He only ate a little, and he would definitely be hungry in the second half of the night.
"Let's try it. Yiyi is downstairs too."
Seeing Shen Shiyan nodded, Shen Mengchu took his hand and went downstairs.
After going downstairs, Lu Jingxiao had already prepared the meal.
"Xiaoyan, how about coming over and trying Daddy's cooking?"
"Then give it a try." Shen Shiyan looked a little reluctant.
Looking at his expression, Lu Jingxiao didn't get angry, but nodded, "Okay, you try it."
"Yiyi, come and eat."
Shen Mengchu called out to Shen Shiyi who was on the sofa.
"Here I come."
Shen Shiyi turned off the TV and walked over.
Shen Shiyan and Shen Shiyi sat on the same side.
Lu Jingxiao divided the prepared noodles into two bowls each.
