Ye Ningwan carried Xiaoxing up to the third floor.
Pushing open the door to the children's room, Ye Ningwan met Ye Jingyu's eyes as he sat on the children's carpet reading a book.
Ye Jingyu on the ground and Xiao Xingxing in Ye Ningwan's arms were almost identical. Apart from their clothes, the two were so similar that even with a magnifying glass, you couldn't find the slightest difference.
Ye Ningwan put the little star in her arms on the ground, closed the door with one hand, and looked sharply at her two sons.
"As expected, you two have switched identities!"
Ye Jingyu stood up and stood next to Xiao Xingxing, but he spoke first to protect his younger brother.
"Mommy, it's all my fault. I'm the one who came looking for Little Star."
Little Star immediately chimed in.
"The idea was mine!"
Ye Jingyu shook his head.
“I came up with the process myself. Little Star is so stupid, he wouldn’t have thought of such a way.”
Hearing this, Little Star pouted and said to Ye Jingyu with dissatisfaction.
"I'm not stupid! I'm super smart. None of the kids in kindergarten are as smart as me. You're just too smart, that's why you think I'm stupid!"
Ye Jingyu looked helplessly at his silly younger brother. The important thing right now wasn't even this, was it?
He ignored Little Star and turned to Ye Ningwan.
"I missed Little Star so much, and I was worried about how you were doing here, so I insisted that he bring me here to see you. Please don't scold me, Little Star, scold me instead!"
Ye Ningwan pinched Ye Jingyu's little ear and then sat down cross-legged.
Do I seem like the kind of unreasonable person?
Ye Jingyu and Xiaoxing glanced at each other but didn't say anything.
Ye Ningwan waved to her two sons.
"come over."
The two little ones slowly moved in front of Ye Ningwan. Ye Jingyu didn't move, but Little Star had already jumped into Ye Ningwan's arms and was acting like a taffy in her arms.
"Mommy."
Ye Ningwan didn't say anything.
The little star raised its head, its eyes sparkling with starlight.
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy..."
The little guy tugged at Ye Ningwan's clothes, looking like a kitten eager for attention—both spoiled and adorable, making it impossible to ignore him.
Little Star's personality is very similar to hers. She loves to take advantage of others and is good at using her own strengths, which often makes people helpless against her.
Of the two sons, the mother always subconsciously favors the one who is more affectionate and knows how to get things done.
Ye Ningwan rubbed Xiao Xingxing's head, signaling him to be quiet.
Little Star puffed out her cheeks and nestled against Ye Ningwan's chest without saying a word.
Ye Ningwan then slightly raised her head and looked at Ye Jingyu, who was standing not far away, and opened her other free arm towards him.
"You miss Little Star, but don't you miss Mommy?"
Ye Jingyu remained silent, looking at Ye Ningwan. His small, cold face hesitated for a moment before he snuggled into Ye Ningwan's arms, nuzzling his head against her chest without saying a word.
Ye Ningwan sighed softly.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still willing to talk to Little Star, Ye Ningwan would always wonder if her eldest son had autism.
She always felt that Ye Jingyu was like someone from another world, always observing the world with a cold and indifferent gaze. He was just a cold observer, calm and wise, without much emotion, and he didn't like socializing, making friends, or going out.
If it weren't for Xiaoxing, Ye Ningwan even suspected that Ye Jingyu would have kept himself locked up at home and wouldn't even want to go to school.
Ye Ningwan kissed the top of Ye Jingyu's head and asked in a low voice.
Do you miss me?
Ye Jingyu hesitated and didn't speak, trying to get up from Ye Ningwan's embrace.
Ye Ningwan hugged him tightly, refusing to let go, and asked with a grin.
"Does Yuyu miss me?"
Ye Jingyu's pale face was completely expressionless, seemingly even paler than before because he was nestled in his mother's arms. However, the tips of his ears were so red they were almost dripping blood, and his neck was also covered in crimson.
Ye Ningwan curled up the corners of her lips.
The little guy is pretending to be serious, but he's actually just shy.
Ye Ningwan tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips, stared seriously into Ye Jingyu's eyes, and spoke to Ye Jingyu in a serious manner.
"Little Star kissed me downstairs just now, shouldn't you reciprocate?"
Ye Jingyu turned his head away, revealing his pointed, bright red ears, and murmured softly.
"But isn't Little Star always like this? He wants to kiss you as soon as he sees you."
As Ye Jingyu spoke, he fidgeted with his fingertips, looking quite awkward.
Ye Ningwan coughed lightly, trying hard not to laugh out loud, and said to Ye Jingyu in a serious tone.
"Yes, Little Star always kisses me, why don't you kiss me?"
Ye Jingyu remained silent.
Ye Ningwan continued to coax him.
"I want to be fair to you and Little Star, right?"
Ye Jingyu nodded.
He felt that his mother was very fair to him and Little Star. He had everything Little Star had, and it even seemed that his mother treated him a little better.
At least that's what Ye Jingyu thinks.
But Ye Ningwan lowered her head in great frustration, her eyelids drooping, and said to Ye Jingyu with great sadness.
"But Little Star is always so affectionate with me. If you don't kiss me, it feels like I'm not affectionate towards you. Or do you not like Mommy?"
