"Of course not. Tian Tian is the most well-behaved child in the entire residential compound. How could she be a bad child?"
Fang Qiao patiently explained, "And this isn't about saying anything bad. After all, you're still a child who needs your parents' protection, and you can't independently distinguish between good and bad people. So it's commendable that you told your aunt your truest feelings about Aunt Li. It helps your aunt judge whether Aunt Li is a person worth associating with."
"Everyone has people they like and people they dislike. You have the right to like or dislike whomever you want," Fang Qiao instructed. "But if you meet someone you dislike in the future, remember to tell your aunt. You're still too young to know what a good person is and what a bad person is. If you tell your aunt, she can help you spot any danger in time, understand?"
"knew!"
After revealing her little secret, Tian Tian wasn't criticized; instead, she received praise from her aunt. This made her very happy. She happily hugged Fang Qiao's neck and couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, am I still a good girl now?"
"Of course." Fang Qiao rubbed her forehead against Tian Tian's little forehead and said with a smile, "Our Tian Tian is the best."
Sweetie giggled as Fang Qiao amused her, and gave Fang Qiao a quick kiss on the cheek: "Auntie is the best too, Sweetie loves Auntie the most."
"So, does Sweetie not like her uncle anymore?"
Cheng Baidong appeared outside the kitchen at some point.
Fang Qiao was startled: "Oh my, why do you walk so quietly? You scared me half to death!"
"I was walking very heavily, you just didn't hear me," Cheng Baidong explained, bending down to put his arm around Tian Tian's legs and lift her up from the ground. "Tian Tian, quickly tell your uncle, do you like your uncle?"
"I like her." Sweetie pursed her lips and added, "But I like Auntie the most."
After saying that, she covered her face with her hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
Cheng Baidong pretended to be heartbroken and clutched his chest: "Uncle is so sad. Uncle loves Tian Tian the most, but it turns out that Tian Tian's favorite person isn't Uncle! Waaaaah..."
"Uncle is lying!" Sweetie wasn't going to be fooled: "You said the night before last that you liked Auntie the most!"
She scoffed, "No wonder my aunt always says: A man's mouth is a lying devil!"
Cheng Baidong was embarrassed.
The night before last...
Goodness, do kids these days know a little too much?
I can't stay in this house for another second!
Fang Qiao was also embarrassed. She made an excuse and changed the subject, saying to Cheng Baidong, "We're almost out of soy sauce at home. Take the bottle and go to the grocery store to get a bucket."
"Okay, okay." Cheng Baidong couldn't wait to slip away, so he quickly put Tiantian on the ground.
But Tian Tian clung to his neck and wouldn't let go: "Uncle, take me with you."
Cheng Baidong: "Your uncle went to buy soy sauce, what are you going to do there?"
Sweetie said, "I'll carry the bottle for my uncle."
"Can you lift it?" Cheng Baidong questioned.
“I’m as strong as an ox, of course I can!” Sweetie clenched her little fist and showed Cheng Baidong the biceps that didn’t actually exist on her arms.
"Alright, alright." Cheng Baidong had no choice but to pick her up again, as long as she stopped babbling on and on.
Fang Qiao poured the last bit of soy sauce into a bowl, wiped the outside of the soy sauce bottle clean with a cloth, and handed it to Tian Tian to hold.
"Come back early after you finish buying soy sauce, dinner will be ready soon."
"knew!"
"knew!"
Cheng Baidong and Tian Tian spoke in unison.
As Cheng Baidong carried Tiantian out of the house, he met Li Dan, who had just returned from get off work, at the door.
The childcare center also has classes for children on weekends, mainly to take care of working parents whose holidays are not fixed, so the staff of the childcare center are on a rotating shift system.
"Bai Dong, where are you taking Tian Tian?"
Sweetie didn't like Aunt Li, but she still greeted her politely: "Hello, Aunt Li."
"Go to the grocery store and get some soy sauce." Cheng Baidong waved the soy sauce bottle in Tian Tian's hand.
"Then you guys go ahead." Li Dan waved goodbye to Tian Tian, saying, "Goodbye, Tian Tian."
Goodbye, Aunt Li.
After saying goodbye, Li Dan went inside the house, and Cheng Baidong carried Tian Tian and walked forward.
Sweetie wrapped her arms around Cheng Baidong's neck and rested her face against his shoulder, looking a little listless.
Cheng Baidong touched her forehead to check her temperature and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Sweetie shook her head: "No, not at all."
Cheng Baidong keenly sensed her emotions: "You don't like the aunt from earlier?"
Cheng Baidong was always at work, and Tian Tian and he didn't get close to Fang Qiao.
So after a moment of silence, hesitantly nodded.
"She looked at me like a big bad wolf, and I was a little scared."
“Then we’ll stay far away from her from now on.” Compared to Fang Qiao’s roundabout way of reasoning with Tian Tian, Cheng Baidong was more straightforward.
"Adults can be good or bad. If you think she's like the Big Bad Wolf, then she's a bad person. Don't play with her alone anymore."
“I know, Auntie said the same thing,” Tian Tian said obediently. “I will try to stay far away from her in the future.”
"Good girl!" Cheng Bodong raised his hand and patted Tian Tian's little head, taking the opportunity to leave his aura on her so that he could sense any danger she might encounter.
