After that, Ye Fan was mostly at home whenever he wasnât busy.
He spent his days accompanying Bai Susu on walks, or taking care of her.
Of course, as parents, Ye Fan and his wife took extra special care of Bai Susu.
âDaddy, is there really a baby inside Mommyâs belly?â Ye Bing looked at his momâs flat stomach and asked with great curiosity.
âOf course, you all came out the same way.â Ye Fan said with a smile, patting Ye Bingâs head.
Itâs natural for children to be curious.
Adults are just as curious, after all.
âDaddy, how did the baby appear inside Mommyâs belly? How can one life hold another life?â At this moment, Little Second, Ye Qing, asked.
Indeed!
How did a baby just appear like that?
And how did they all come out?
Little Second, Ye Qing, was extremely curious!
Her large eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge!
âOf course, itâs because Daddy gave it to Mommy, thatâs why thereâs a baby inside Mommyâs belly holding on,â Ye Fan replied with a chuckle.
These kids, reallyâ¦
âDaddy, how could you be sure to put it in there, I want to know. Oh right, Daddy, why didnât you put it in your own belly instead of Mommyâs?â
âYeah, yeah, Daddy, why donât you have the baby, why make Mommy do it? Also, Mommyâs belly is so small, how can it fit kids as big as us?â
âRight, how did it fit?â
One question after another was thrown out.
In that instant, Ye Fan felt as if the world turned dim.
With one question after another, how could he possibly answer?
Good gracious!
The curiosity of these little ones was overwhelming.
And he felt a littleâ¦
Ye Fan looked at the few little ones, feeling somewhat dizzy and his mind a little muddled.
âDaddy, say something!â
âExactly, Daddy, just talk to us. Why are you not answering?â
âDaddy, do you not know?â
The eldest, second, and third were shaking Ye Fan while only Little Fourth sat to the side, watching the scene unfold.
Bai Susu sat beside them, a little stunned.
She couldnât help it.
Ever since she got pregnant, Ye Fan had ordered the children not to get too close to her, saying they should be careful around the baby in Mommyâs tummy, and so on⦠He had warned them for quite some time.
As a result, the kids no longer dared to crowd around her.
Good gracious!
Could a child even have such awareness?
Back in the day, she had been on her own and had not been so delicate.
But Ye Fan was insistent.
He said it was an absolute must to listen to him this time!
Bai Susu had no choice but to resignedly comply with Ye Fanâs wishes.
After all, she knew Ye Fan was only looking out for her well-being, which warmed her heart.
This pregnancy had truly been a profound experience for her.
âAlright, you kids are going to shake your daddy silly if you keep at it. Just look at your daddy, heâs all dizzy and confused,â Bai Susu said with a laugh.
These little ones sure knew how to wear someone down.
But why was Little Fourth, Ye Jie, behaving so well?
It was rare to have one so sensible.
Come to think of it, something was off with Little Fourth, Ye Jie, this time.
In the past, she had been the most mischievous. Why had she suddenly changed?
âOh, Daddy, we just wanted to know for a moment.â
âDaddyâ
The three little ones, hearing what their mommy said, finally realized, and looked at Ye Fan somewhat sheepishly.
âLook at what youâve done to Daddy, youâve been so thoughtless!â Little Fourth, Ye Jie, chided her older siblings with an air of aged wisdom.
Good gracious!
That tone, that demeanor, was practically no different from an adultâs.
Just in a smaller body.
Bai Susu burst into laughter when she saw this.
She knew it, Little Fourth could not possibly have become obedient all of a sudden.
It turns out she had been waiting for this moment.
âYe Jie, donât talk to us like that. Arenât you also curious?â
âExactly, youâre our little sister. How can you talk to your older sisters like that?â
âLittle Fourth, why arenât you asking?â
The three little ones looked at Ye Jie.
How could their little sister not be curious?
âWhatâs there to be curious about? Once we grow up, weâll know. Besides, I feel sorry for Dad. Daddy is about to foam at the mouth from all your shaking!â Little Fourth said, hands on hips, clearly displeased.
Isnât that so!
Just look at Dadâs face, how terrible it looks.
âDaddy, weâre sorry!â
âDaddy, are you okay?â
âAlthough youâre the little sister, youâre making a lot of sense. I agree, Daddy, I wonât bother you anymore!â
One by one, they instantly became well-behaved.
âYeah, Daddy, I wonât bother you anymore either.â
âWe all know we were wrong.â
The third child chimed in immediately as well.
Ye Fan finally had a moment of peace in his mind.
He shook his head, trying to clear it a bit more.
Good gracious!
He had nearly been overwhelmed just now.
His ears were just like⦠that thing, excruciating.
âItâs okay. Being curious is normal. This is nothing to fuss about. I will explain it to you slowly, but you must not argue. And remember, your mommy is still here, so you canât be too loud, okay?â Ye Fan said softly.
âMmm, we know now!â
âDaddy, Iâve got it!â
The little ones immediately began admitting their mistakes.
Each of them was still so sensible.
Mistakes can be made, but as long as they can be corrected, thatâs good!
âLook how popular you are with the kids now,â Bai Susu said with a laugh.
âIsnât that the truth, thanks to my wife,â Ye Fan laughed, got up, and sat down next to Bai Susu, tenderly smoothing her hair behind her ears.
âWow, Mom and Dad are so loving!â
âYes, indeed. So gentle in front of us!â
âI canât take this.â
The eldest, the second, and the third immediately said with a laugh.
Little Fourth crossed his arms, sitting on the couch.
âHave you no shame? We are children; we canât see whatâs not suitable for children. Be careful, or youâll get styes,â Little Fourth looked away, refusing to watch his parents.
âFourth, what do you mean by âstyesâ and ânot suitable for childrenâ?â
âYeah, Little Fourth, tell us about it.â
âFourth sister, explain a bit, I want to know too.â
Ye Fan and Bai Susu listened, somewhat surprised.
They didnât expect Little Fourth to know about things not suitable for children and styes.
Who taught her that, or where did she hear such things?
âOkay then, Iâll tell you. Not suitable for children means things that children shouldnât watch or imitate, things that are bad for kids!â Little Fourth said proudly while sitting on the couch.
She looked just like a proud little peacock.
Seeing her like this, Ye Fan and Bai Susu couldnât help but want to laugh.
Little Fourth was indeed cunning.
âGot it, Fourth sister, but what are styes?â
âYeah, explain it to us.â
The little ones again asked curiously.
They found that although they were all kids of the same size and from the same parents,
Why did Little Fourth know so much?
As the older sisters, they didnât know these things.
âTo get styes means getting them from looking at things youâre not supposed to see. For instance, if we peep at Mom and Dad kissing or doing stuff, we shouldnât watch. Thatâs not for us to see, so you get punished and get styes. A stye is like a pimple growing inside your eye, and when others see it, theyâll know youâve been looking at things you shouldnât have, which is very embarrassing!â Little Fourth said matter-of-factly.
When Ye Fan heard this, he was stunned.
Wow!
Little Fourth Ye Jie was extraordinary!
Her explanation wasnât entirely right, but it wasnât completely wrong either. It seemed quite reasonable.
Ye Fan even felt he might believe it himself.
Where had this little one learned all this?
Impressive, my daughter!
âImpressive, Little Fourth!â Bai Susu exclaimed in astonishment.
She was also very surprised.
Who had taught Little Fourth all of this?
And how did she remember it all?
But indeed, Little Fourth was quick-witted.
Bai Susu thought all her children were very capable and smart.
âMom, instant like!â Little Fourth Ye Jie said with a smile to Bai Susu.
At this âinstant like,â Ye Fan and Bai Susu were both astonished.
âYe Fan, what do you make of this?â Bai Susu turned to ask Ye Fan, who was seated beside her.
âI donât know; maybe itâs from watching too much TV!â Ye Fan said.
He was also very surprised!
âFourth sister, youâre so incredible to know all of this!â
âExactly, so amazing!â
âFourth sister, it feels like youâre knowledgeable and learned!â
âDespite us being siblings, why are you so outstanding, Fourth sister? You even know things we, as your older sisters, are unaware of?â Ye Qing pondered.
Yes!
We are all our parentsâ children.
Yet you are so remarkable.
Itâs like we all agreed to be salted fish together, and somehow one turned into a dragon gaming for the skies.
Ah, it must be Little Fourth taking the opportunity to study secretly when we are not paying attention.
Wow!
âI just remembered what I saw, thatâs all!â Little Fourth replied, seeming somewhat embarrassed.
âOkay, stop praising Little Fourth, or else she might just float up to the sky!â Ye Fan rolled his eyes.
âDad, why would floating up to the sky happen?â Ye Yu asked, blinking her curious big eyes.
âIsnât that what happens when you float away?â Ye Fan said.
âHaha!â
âO(â©_â©)O haha~â
Little Fourth sat on the couch without saying anything.
âSo, when Mom and Dad are showing off their love, weâd better not be around. Wouldnât want to overdose on dog food. As far as I know, those without a boyfriend are called single dogs, and since weâre single dogs, too much dog food can make your teeth hurt!â Little Fourth began lecturing again officiously.
Then the very next second, she glanced at Ye Fan!
Clearly, she was not happy, especially since Ye Fan had just said she was showing off, even though she wasnât sure what it meant. She felt it couldnât be good.
The little one was not dumb at all!
âLetâs all go out and play, and stop dealing with those two. Being a third wheel and shining light on them isnât good. Besides, I donât want to get styes and be embarrassed!â Ye Jie said, then she got up and left the room.
The three remaining little ones looked at each other and then proceeded to leave together, apparently agreeing with her.
Well, they followed right behind Little Fourth Ye Jie and went out.
âYe Fan, what do you think of our Little Fourth?â Bai Susu turned and asked Ye Fan beside her.
âThis kid, she never thinks things are a big deal, always going on about⦠Well, what she said is half right and half wrong. Ah, but you know, despite her size, she is crafty!â
âIn short, sheâs a clever little thing!â Ye Fan said.
âActually, I think so too, tricky and cunning!â Bai Susu nodded in agreement.
âHowever, I feel like I might be carrying a boy; what Ye Jie said made me inexplicably believe it!â Bai Susu added.
Ye Fan:â¦â¦â¦?!!
