"Ah?"
"Think about it, he's always been so smart and spent so much time reading books in the library before, he really doesn't need tutoring."
Xia Anyang touched his cheek, "I see him playing with that Paru device quite energetically recently, so I let him go out and catch Paru! After all, it's in a boy's nature to play at this age. He needs to get some exercise outdoors; otherwise, having too gentle a demeanor isn't good either."
"Husband."
Lin Yi, exasperated, hands on her hips, said, "Tell me, are you revealing your true intentions?"
"Ah? What true intentions? I'm also thinking of Youyou's best interests..."
"You just don't want Youyou to get close to Nuo Nuo."
"Am I that petty as a dad! They have been so close since they were little and I never said anything. I even let Nuo Nuo sleep over at her house..."
Xia Anyang touched his nose, "But he is indeed getting too big at eight years old. Look at how Youyou's head has been growing, he's taller than some adults. It's not possible to be as close as they were when they were little; there needs to be an awareness of gender before—"
Ding dong.
Just at that moment, there was a knock at the door.
"Tsk, speak of the devil, and he shall appear. How did this kid get here."
Xia Anyang clicked his tongue.
"...Are you that amazing? You can tell it's Youyou knocking?"
Xia Anyang sighed, "I feel like you totally lack the sense of crisis that our little cabbage might be dug up by a pig. You have no guard against that kid at all."
Lin Yi, annoyed, pinched his arm and pouted in a somewhat cute manner, "Let's get things clear, I've always treated Youyou as my own son, so don't call him a pig in front of me."
"Alright, alright, I won't say it..."
Each and every one of you in the family is like this; how difficult life is for me as a father!
If you treated this kid even slightly as an outsider, how could I possibly have such an ambiguous attitude towards him!
The adult world is truly not easy.
Xia Anyang reluctantly opened the door, and there, before him, stood the familiar eight-year-old brat, Emperor Youyou.
"She refuses to eat anything, Youyou."
Lin Yi chimed in, "You know, Nuo Nuo is closest to you usually, why don't you try talking to her? Maybe she'll listen to you and eat something!"
When Xia Anyang heard this, he turned to his wife with an incredulous look—
You, oh you, you've shown your true colors, haven't you!
You truly don't treat Youyou as an outsider, do you!
However, Xia Anyang didn't have a moment to lament for himself, for Fang You was already moving up, taking the bag of strawberries from Xia Anyang's hand.
"Then I'll just take the strawberries up to see Nuo Nuo; she loves strawberries the most."
Hold on, I haven't agreed yet—
Before Xia Anyang could react, Fang You had already snatched the bag of strawberries from his hand.
This kid... how can he be so strong!
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, carrying that bag is too inconvenient for you, Youyou,"
Lin Yi said eagerly, "I'll go get you a fruit basket."
"Thank you, Aunt Lin."
Fang You glanced at Xia Anyang, who was eyeing him, with a puzzled expression.
Xia Anyang could not meet Fang You's innocent gaze and quickly pretended to look away casually.
Fine then...
If you want to look, go ahead and look.
But come out as soon as you've had a glance.
I, Xia Anyang, haven't completely lost my mind today.
If every time someone else's child gets close to my daughter, I go insane, wouldn't I have been sent to a mental hospital a long time ago?
Moreover, Xia Anyang also has a lot of confidence in his daughter's stubbornness nowadays.
