He realized that Little Fourth didnât want to learn anything at all.
She just wanted to lie around at home like a corpse.
That was not okay!
If this continued, their four children might slowly become estranged.
So, either they all learned together, or none of them learned.
Ye Fan felt it was a bit unreasonable and forced, but there was no other way.
The feelings of children are quite complex, indeed.
Besides, Little Fourth Ye Jie had always been somewhat aloof. If she didnât join her sisters in learning, she might become isolatedâ¦
So, for the sake of the childrenâs future relationships, Ye Fan had toâ¦

âDad, what should I learn if Iâm not interested in anything? What should I do?â Ye Jie was genuinely troubled.
Now what?
Seeing her fatherâs stance was firm on the issue of learning something, and that it must be done with her sisters.
At that moment, Ye Jie felt like her head was about to go bald from thinking so hard, yet she hadnât come up with a thing.
âDad, how about we let Xiao Jie think it over by herself?â At that point, the eldest, Ye Bing, spoke up.
She understood her fatherâs intention.
He was worried that if Little Fourth continued this way, she would become increasingly unsociable.
But it was dadâs decision, so she felt it was not her place to comment.
Oh well
After all, it wouldnât be bad for a girl to learn something.
âAlright, you take your time to think it over, and once youâve decided, tell dad. There are still a day or two until Saturday, so think carefully. All four of you will go learn together, and if something comes up, you can think of solutions together. Remember, we donât start trouble, but if anyone bullies you, fight back if you can. If you canât, tell the teacher, then come back and tell me! Even though Iâm not that great, I absolutely wonât stand for my children getting hurt or bullied!â Ye Fan said.
Nobody dares to bully Ye Fanâs precious daughters!
Hmph!
âRight, dad, I know what I want to learn now. I want to learn Sanda and Taekwondo, a whole lot!â Little Fourth Ye Jieâs eyes sparkled as she spoke at that moment.
Her fair little face was full of surprise.
Just now, hearing her dadâs words, she immediately knew what she wanted to study.
Learning martial arts was great; it would allow her to protect herself and those she cared about. That was exactly what she wanted.
After all, none of those artistic and cultural activities like music, dance, painting, or singing suited her, which was why she didnât want to learn them and wasnât interested.
Just now, the moment she thought about martial arts, her heart surged with excitement.
She had to learn this!
This was what she wanted to study.
When Ye Fan heard his darling daughterâs words, he was utterly dumbfounded!
What?
She wanted to study martial arts?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sanda and Taekwondo!
Thisâ¦
The other kids were also shocked. Although they didnât know what Sanda or Taekwondo were, they knew the word âmartial arts.â
Martial arts was all about punching and kicking, and being so young, that was the only way they could understand it.
Isnât that something boys typically like?
How come their little sister liked it too?
Thisâ¦
Why wouldnât their sister choose to learn something more girlish?
Their sister really was different!
âXiao Jie, why do you want to learn Sanda and Taekwondo?â Bai Susu looked at her daughter with puzzlement at that moment.
Ye Jie had always been a little different from the others, her thoughts extraordinarily delicate.
If she wanted to learn this, there must be a reason.
Bai Susu felt there could be many reasons for her daughterâs choice, and perhaps liking it played a part as well.
âMom, itâs like this. You see, my sisters are learning artistic things, and you know, we are all girls. What if we encounter some danger? Then what?â
âSo, I was thinking, since I didnât have anything else I wanted to learn, dadâs words reminded me about protecting us. I thought, if I became stronger myself, I could even protect you all in return!â
âAn extra person means extra strength. My sisters can just go ahead and learn what they enjoy. Of course, I also really like martial arts, which I feel also fits my personality. On top of that, it would make me stronger and in the future, I could protect dad, mom, and my sisters, and of course, little brother too!â
Ye Jieâs bright eyes shone as she looked at everyone. No one would have expected someone her age to think about such matters.
âWhat a pure heart!â Bai Susuâs eyes were filled with admiration.
Her little daughter was impressive!
Her way of thinking was excellent!
So considerate, it was heart-touchingly sweet!
Seeing her daughter so happy, how could she bear to refuse?
âMom agrees you can learn. Just be careful not to get hurt, okay?â Bai Susu said to Ye Jie with a heart full of compassion.
Such a good child!
âDad agrees too, but just as your mom said, take good care of yourself!â Ye Fan added.
With his daughter being so understanding, of course, he wanted to encourage her.
âLittle Fourth, youâre really amazing. Thank you!â
âYes, Little Fourth, we never thought you cared about us, your sisters, this much!â
âWe used to think you didnât like playing with us, or that you didnât like us. But now, weâre so touched that youâre willing to learn martial arts for our sake!â
âLittle Fourth, youâre just too great!â
At that moment, the three little ones gathered around Ye Jie, their gazes full of admiration.
They were truly moved.
They really hadnât expected that among the four of them, Little Fourth was the one who was truly considerate.
