Chapter 12 Stick to Him



As soon as Zhan Nanqi turned his head, the little boy's tears and snot flowed out, looking so pitiful.

So he went back to Routuanzi, and Xue Jiayu stopped crying immediately.

[Wow, you’re the only one I know in this family, and you’re leaving me behind]

Zhan Nanqi was too lazy to explain that he just wanted to go to the bathroom. He picked her up and patted her twice, and Xue Jiayu immediately shut up.

Just bear with it for a while, her father will be here soon anyway.

Their interaction was very interesting to Jiang Peirong, who had been observing secretly, and she tried to take Xue Jiayu from her son.

"Come, let mom hold you for a while."

Jiang Peirong was spraying the latest imported perfume, the smell of which stimulated Xue Jiayu so much that she burst into tears, and she quickly put down the meat ball.

"Hey, why is this kid crying?"

[It's because your perfume smells so bad! ]

Xue Jiayu cried and hiccuped while turning her head to the side, feeling extremely dissatisfied.

Jiang Peirong was very frustrated. "Do you hate me so much?"

"She doesn't hate you." Zhan Nanqi held Xue Jiayu and sat further away. She stopped crying immediately. "She hates the smell of your perfume."

Two pairs of big eyes were staring at him. Xue Jiayu: How did he know?

Jiang Peirong: "How did you know?"

Zhan Nanqi turned around and got some water for Xue Jiayu to drink, as if he didn't hear anything.

Later on, whenever Jiang Peirong tried to hug Xue Jiayu, she would cry with all her might until Zhan Nanqi held her in his arms.

Not only Jiang Peirong tried, Zhan Aoxiang also tried to take Xue Jiayu away. He was even more pitiful. Every time he tried, he was scared away by Xue Jiayu's crying before he could even take her away.

They sat on the sofa on the other side, whispering to each other as they watched the baby quietly and obediently drinking milk in their son's arms.

"Mother, am I seeing things? My son is holding her in one hand and a book in the other. He usually likes to hide away and read books by himself, why is he——"

"I was just wondering if I was dazzled. My son held her like a precious child. If you didn't know, you would think she was a child bride."

But if it is true, it would be nice. Looking at the baby in swaddling clothes, he has delicate features and fair skin. He will definitely be a beauty when he grows up.

Not only could Zhan Aoxiang and his wife not get close to Xue Jiayu, even the Zhan family's nanny Aunt Jiang was not allowed to hug Xue Jiayu.

Aunt Jiang claimed to have 30 years of experience in taking care of children and volunteered to take care of Xue Jiayu.

But the moment Aunt Jiang met Xue Jiayu, her memories suddenly came flooding back. She said it sounded familiar! Zhan Nanqi was the person Ying Huanyu liked and pursued in the original novel.

Aunt Jiang is the nanny of the Zhan family, but she has done a lot of bad things to Zhan Nanqi in private because of his illness, so naturally she won't be nice to him.

So when Aunt Jiang stretched out her hand, Xue Jiayu burst into tears without any warning. Her cry was clear and loud. Although it was not annoying, it fully expressed her unwillingness.

Jiang Peirong quickly asked Aunt Jiang to go away. "This child may be shy. It's okay, Aunt Jiang. Go and do your own thing. Let her stay with Nan Qi."

"Okay." Aunt Jiang didn't want to make herself look bad, so she responded to Jiang Peirong with a wry smile, but turned around and glared at Xue Jiayu.

Unexpectedly, Xue Jiayu was looking at her with her crystal clear eyes. Aunt Jiang was frightened by the look and almost fell to the ground.

How horrible! How could this baby, who looks only two or three months old, have such a look in his eyes? Could this be an evil creature?

Aunt Jiang shook herself and hurried to the kitchen to prepare food.

Although Zhan Nanqi was emotionally stable, he was only five years old. When he saw that the time was almost six o'clock, he would usually be reading in his room at this time, but he scratched his hands impatiently.

Jiang Peirong noticed her son's movements and quickly said, "Nanqi, do you want to go back to your room to read? I'll carry you, you go ahead."

As soon as the woman opened her fair and slender arms, Xue Jiayu started crying and kept sticking to Zhan Nanqi.

[I want to stay with the handsome boy! I'm not going anywhere! I won't get in your way, so why don't you take me with you! ]

She felt very aggrieved and even burped a little.

Zhan Nanqi patted her back helplessly, and waited until she calmed down before holding her up.

“I’ll take her with me.”

"Ah?" Jiang Peirong hurriedly stopped her, "How can you read if she starts crying? Be good, leave her to mommy, I have a solution."

Xue Jiayu shook her head desperately, although to outsiders it looked like she was just twisting her neck.

[I will be good! I promise! ]

"She will be good." Zhan Nanqi expressed her thoughts calmly, and Xue Jiayu was stunned.

Jiang Peirong had no choice but to say, "If you can't handle it, call mom."

"Um."

According to her estimation, Xue Jiayu would make a scene in less than ten minutes.

But to her surprise, Zhan Nanqi's room was very quiet for the next hour, with only the occasional sound that was not the baby's crying.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Jiang Peirong secretly opened a crack in the door and looked inside, and unexpectedly saw Zhan Nanqi teaching Xue Jiayu to read!

She covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming out loud. You know, her son usually reads monographs on physics. It would be difficult for a baby to understand them, even for the rare graduate students and doctoral students. But the child her son adopted read with him obediently.

Before she came here, Xue Jiayu was at least a college student who had gone through the college entrance examination. It was not difficult for her to understand these terms. Although they were boring, she did not dare to cry or make a fuss. As long as she could stay with the handsome boy, it was enough.

[But he also read too fast. I turned the page before I finished reading.]

[You are not a gentleman at all, handsome boy! You didn't even wait for me.]

[But he is so handsome when he reads, his eyes are so deep and his eyelashes are so long! I really want to touch them]

Xue Jiayu yawned and clearly felt that his movements of turning the pages of the book had slowed down.

Zhan Nanqi had already read the contents of this page twice, and he estimated that Xue Jiayu would finish reading it before turning the page.

[Hmm, cosmic escape velocity? What is that? Can I eat it?]

Zhan Nanqi curled the corners of his mouth and thought for two seconds.

Finally he stood up, found a bamboo helicopter from the bookshelf and handed it to her.

There were no other toys in his room except this bamboo dragonfly, which he brought back from a trip to Yaoshan with his parents before the accident.

Xue Jiayu looked at him puzzledly.

[What? You think I'm a cat, are you kidding me? ]

“…”

Zhan Nanqi put down the bamboo helicopter, and seeing that her lips were a little dry, he went to pour her some water to drink.

He mixed hot water and cold water in a ratio of 30:70 and fed it to her with a spoon. Xue Jiayu didn't want to drink it at first, but then she thought of Wu Dalang smiling with his mouth open while drinking the medicine, so he poured the whole spoonful into her.

[Da Lang~drank the medicine~I am dying of laughter. 】

Xue Jiayu was so amused by her own thoughts that she didn't notice Zhan Nanqi's helpless look at all.

Jiang Peirong was shocked by the scene in front of her. Her son could actually take care of others? After that incident, Zhan Nanqi was diagnosed with autism and could no longer get along with others like a normal person. He lived in his own world all day long.

Today, Zhan Nanqi actually took the initiative to open his arms to a little baby.
