Part 2
Yi Erbao's Problem
Yi Erbao had been struggling with a problem recently.
Should he choose the neighbor's little sister Huang Jingjing as his girlfriend or choose the kindergarten's Shu Yiyi as his girlfriend?
Huang Jingjing liked to call him Brother Erbao, and she was a little tongue-tied, so she couldn't say it clearly. It sounded like "Aibao tote tote". More importantly, he didn't like others calling him Erbao. However, her mother's cooking was really delicious, and she had a lot of snacks. Every time he went to Huang Jingjing's house, he could eat a lot of good things. If he chose her as his girlfriend, then he would definitely hear Huang Jingjing call him "Aibao tote tote" every day like a little hen? This was too scary.
Shu Yiyi would call him by his full name. Her voice was very clear, like a little sparrow chirping. She would call him Yi You. Yup, although Yi Erbao didn't think the name Yi You was very pleasant to hear, it was obviously better than Yi Erbao. However, Shu Yiyi was a stingy person. She only knew how to snatch snacks from his hands and would never share her delicious food with him. If he chose her as his girlfriend, wouldn't he have to say goodbye to his snacks forever? This was too scary.
Yi Erbao sat on the balcony by the small coffee table with two things in front of him. One was the Flying Superman that Huang Jingjing had given him. Yup, this was a gift from a big bag of bear biscuits. He also had a lot of them, but he didn't have this one! Although he had exchanged two of his extra Fei Tian Little Superman for this, this action was very precious, okay? This wasn't a simple Fei Fei, nor was it an ordinary Fu Gong. This was a Fu Gong drawing out a sword! Huang Jingjing was really generous! If it was him, he would definitely not agree to use two to exchange for it. Three wouldn't do either. Three plus a bag of popping candy would do!
Huang Jingjing was really generous! The other was the Duo Ma Robot's Gold Card that Shu Yiyi had given him. Gold! This was a gift that only came in a super big bag of Jelly! Such a big bag would take a long time for him to finish, so his mother had only bought him three bags. He only had three of these Gold Cards. Shu Yiyi had actually given him a Gold Card! Although she had snatched away all the snacks that week, she was really generous! If it were him, he wouldn't even exchange it for a week's worth of snacks. Of course, he would only consider it if it was two days more, no, three days more, or even four days more!
It was such a difficult choice. Yi Erbao had been conflicted for the entire afternoon. He was so conflicted that he even forgot to eat his favorite mango pudding.
Ye Ci was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV while observing her son, who had been sitting on the balcony for an hour and 13 minutes. For such an energetic and active child to be able to sit so quietly for so long, it was really something to be concerned about.
However, it seemed that she didn't need to show herself yet. Ye Ci glanced at the clock on the wall again. Fine, she would wait for another 17 minutes. If he was still like this after 17 minutes, she would show some concern.
After making up her mind, Ye Ci retracted her gaze from the corner of her eyes and focused on the game show on the television. It was a show that was dedicated to the release of strategy guides for various games. Today, it was showing a new dungeon exploration of Fate. 17 minutes passed in a flash. The show was not over yet, but it was filled with unimportant questions. Ye Ci had no intention to continue watching. This time, she focused all her attention on Yi Erbao. She noticed that he was still sitting on the balcony in the same position, thinking about something.
Hmm, what is he thinking about?
Ye Ci was suddenly very curious. Thus, she got up and walked towards the balcony to satisfy her curiosity. As for whether or not she could help her son, that was not within her scope of concern. She squatted beside the coffee table and looked at Yi Erbao, who was sitting cross-legged beside the coffee table. A pair of small hands that were like steamed buns supported his bun like face as he stared at two items in front of him. If she was not mistaken, one of the items was a miniature Superman, and the other was a Duo Ma Robot Card. These two items were the favorites of the TV show recently. The frequency of the show was very high, and children were fighting to get their hands on them.
She imitated Yi Erbao and rested her chin on her hand. Her gaze drifted to the small plate on the coffee table. On the plate was a smooth pudding. The color of the pudding was very appetizing. Isn't this Mango Pudding, Yi Erbao's favorite? I remember that it was brought to him about an hour and a half ago. Why hasn't he eaten it yet? It seems that the problem that is troubling him is very scary.
To show that she was a responsible mother, Ye Ci cleared her throat to get Yi Erbao's attention. She smiled, "Yi Erbao, what's on your mind?"
"Nothing." Yi Erbao looked at his mother, who was smiling insincerely, and lowered his head again. He continued to ponder over his problem.
"Is it really nothing?" Ye Ci did not believe Yi Erbao's words. She narrowed her eyes and scooped up a spoonful of pudding. But Yi Erbao tilted his head and sighed with a melancholy that did not befit his age, "Stop fooling around, mom. I'm not in the mood right now."
The corner of Ye Ci's mouth twitched. Why does that sound so wrong? Was this something a three-year-old kid would say? She lowered her head and looked at the pudding on the spoon. He doesn't even want to eat this? He's really troubled. Since her son did not want to eat, Ye Ci did not hold back. She shoved the spoonful of pudding into her mouth, and her spirits were lifted. Fleeting Time's cooking is getting better and better. This Mango Pudding is even better than the Western pastry shop at the corner of the street. And so, she scooped another spoonful of pudding into her mouth, "You seem to be in a bad mood. If you don't mind, why don't you share it with me …" Ye Ci changed the words that were about to come out of her mouth into a warm one, "Let me share it with you."
Actually, what she wanted to say was, 'Tell me what you're unhappy about to make me happy.' Something as heartless as that.
Yi Erbao turned around and looked at his mother. She was looking at him with a smile on her face. Even a three-year-old would be able to tell that this was not the attitude of someone who wanted to share, but the attitude of someone who wanted to gossip. But Yi Erbao was only three years old. Even if he had realized something, he was still unable to deal with it. In his heart, his parents were still the most powerful backing he could rely on. Of course, his mother might seem unreliable at times, but that did not affect her position in the family.
"But mom, I think it's better for me to discuss this topic with dad." Although Yi Erbao trusted his unreliable mother, he still subconsciously felt that it was better to ask his mother for help. Therefore, he wrinkled his nose to show that he was very mature and manly.
"Oh." Ye Ci nodded as she scooped another spoonful of pudding into her mouth, "So that means the problem that you're troubled by is women?"
"Ah!" Yi Erbao's eyes widened, and his face flushed red. He shook his head and stuttered, "H-h-how did you know?"
"Hah! Women are the things that men talk about the most." Ye Ci blurted out. She stared at the two items placed in front of Yi Erbao. One of them seemed to be a gift from Huang Jingjing, and the other from Yi Erbao's kindergarten classmate. His problem must have something to do with the two girls.
"Y-y-y-you …" Yi Erbao placed his hands on the table, and his eyes widened even further. He had inherited his fox-like eyes from Fleeting Time, but they were still in their infancy stage and were still very round. Yi Erbao let out a sigh, "Mom, you're amazing. You even know about this."
"Alright. Since I'm right, then tell me what's going on. I'm a woman after all, and I think I can give you some advice." Ye Ci stared at her son's blushing face, and laughed in her heart. He's so gullible, and I managed to get him to tell me the truth with just a few words.
"Actually, I don't think Mom would understand this kind of thing …" Yi Erbao muttered. However, looking at his mother's frown, he quickly stopped talking and said, "Actually, actually, I'm thinking about who should be my girlfriend."
"Oh …" Ye Ci knew that Yi Erbao had a lot of admirers since he was young, so she was not surprised at all when Yi Erbao revealed his troubles. Ever since he was young, as long as he appeared, he would attract the attention of many girls, especially girls around his age who liked to play with him. According to this situation, Yi Erbao shouldn't have to worry about not being able to find a wife when he grows up.
Children were more or less competitive. When he didn't get the fierce response he expected after telling his secret, he felt that his self-esteem was inexplicably hurt. So, in order to get back at his mother angrily and attract her attention, he immediately blurted out all his little secrets.
Ye Ci looked at her son with a smile as she ate Yi Erbao's favorite Mango Pudding, and listened to Yi Erbao's latest troubles. She felt that life was really good.
"Mom, what do you think I should do? What should I choose? " After Yi Erbao finally expressed his problems clearly, he immediately asked Ye Ci for an answer impatiently. He stared with his round eyes like a puppy waiting for a bone.
Ye Ci reached out and stroked Yi Erbao's soft hair. She put the last mouthful of Mango Pudding into her mouth and exhaled in satisfaction. Then, she answered him very clearly, "I choose Huang Jingjing."
"Why?" Yi Erbao immediately shouted. He felt a little indignant. What's so good about Huang Jingjing? She can't even speak clearly. She only knows how to call me "Aibao Tote Tote"!
"Then Shu Yiyi it is." Ye Ci looked like she was very easy to talk to.
"Why is it Shu Yiyi again?" Yi Erbao shouted even louder than before. He felt even more indignant. What's so good about Shu Yiyi? She only knows how to snatch my snacks. She would never share her snacks with me, not even a little bit!
"Are you going to listen to my suggestion or not?" Ye Ci's eyebrows suddenly rose, and she began to suppress Yi Erbao.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Yi Erbao looked at his mother, who had turned into a big monster, and decided to behave himself.
"Then I'll choose Huang Jingjing." Ye Ci reached out and stroked Yi Erbao's hair again, replying very firmly.
"But Huang Jingjing has a big tongue …" Yi Erbao felt a little wronged. "She, she still calls me Aibao Tote Tote. I like to be called Yi You …"
"What's the point of fussing over a name!" Ye Ci rolled her eyes. "You have to remember that the most important thing is to get what you want. Huang Jingjing is so generous. She gave you so many snacks. Isn't that great? Shu Yiyi never gave you snacks. She even snatched your snacks. What's so good about that! "
"But, but Shu Yiyi calls me Yi You." Student Yi Erbao felt wronged as he defended himself.
"I'm begging you. Get the main point of the problem straight. If you choose Huang Jingjing as your girlfriend, you can eat a lot of good things. You can get a lot of benefits. If you choose Shu Yiyi as your girlfriend, not only will you not get any benefits, you will also lose a lot of things." Ye Ci snorted. Yi Erbao actually had to struggle with such an easy choice. He really didn't know who he took after.
Yi Erbao's face turned red. He said, "How can there be no benefits? She's called Yi You. She doesn't call me Yi Erbao. That's the biggest benefit!" Alright, in the heart of a three-year-old child, a nice name was actually as important as a pile of delicious snacks.
Ye Ci shut her mouth. She realized that this was an unsolvable problem. Since she had achieved her goal, she decided to ignore this little brat. Thus, she let out a long breath and put down the spoon. She stood up and stroked Yi Erbao's hair. "Alright, Mommy apologizes. You've grown up. It's better for you to make such a difficult decision. "With that, she smiled and turned to walk through the living room, heading upstairs.
She was in a good mood. She had listened to Yi Erbao's gossip, eaten Yi Erbao's snacks, and even received Yi Erbao's worship. She was in a great mood. With such a good mood, she should go to sleep …
Just as Ye Ci lay on the bed, she heard Yi Erbao's shrill scream. "My Pudding!"
Not long after, she heard the sound of someone rushing upstairs. Then, her door was slammed loudly. Ye Ci unceremoniously took a pillow and threw it at the door. "Yi Erbao, where are your manners?!"
The loud noise outside the door immediately disappeared. Then, a timid voice came. "Dear Mommy, can I come in?"
"Come in." Ye Ci lay on her side on the bed and watched the door carefully open. Then, Yi Erbao poked his round little head out and said carefully, "Mommy, why is my Pudding gone?"
"I ate it," Ye Ci admitted without hesitation.
Yi Erbao wanted to throw a tantrum, but when he saw his carefree mother, he swallowed and defended himself in a small voice. "But Daddy made it for me in the afternoon."
Ye Ci snorted to show that she didn't care. However, when she saw Yi Erbao's face that was about to cry, she rolled her eyes and said, "Huang Jingjing's mother is preparing the afternoon snacks. Take the small gift on the table and give it to her. I think she'll be very happy to prepare another snack for you."
"Oh." Yi Erbao blinked his large eyes, and suddenly thought of something, "Mommy, if Huang Jingjing becomes my girlfriend, does that mean I don't even need to prepare a small gift? Her mother will make snacks for me every day, right?"
Ye Ci narrowed her eyes. She felt that her son's idea was very far-sighted, but she still kindly reminded him, "If you can win the favor of Huang Jingjing's mother, then you only need to prepare a small gift occasionally. You don't have to prepare it every day. She'll make snacks for you."
"Oh, thank you, mommy!" Yi Erbao was enlightened. He rushed down the stairs in high spirits, but then heard his mother's fake smile, "Close the door." He ran back down the stairs, closed the door, and rushed down the stairs.
Ye Ci had just closed her eyes when the door opened again, and Fleeting Time walked in. He bent down and picked up a pillow from the floor, and walked straight to the bed. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Ye Ci's cheek. Ye Ci's eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly. When she finally opened her eyes, she was met with Fleeting Time's smiling eyes, "You're back so soon?"
"Yup. It's nothing much. I'm here to discuss the copyright of the battle videos. They offered a reasonable price, so I'm back." Fleeting Time's eyes curved into crescents. It was obvious that he was in a good mood. He then thought of something, and asked, "Where's Yi Erbao?"
"Oh, he went to bribe his future mother-in-law." Ye Ci narrowed her eyes and looked at Fleeting Time with a smile. She did not even get up from the bed. She looked so lazy that it made one's heart itch.
"Future mother-in-law?" Fleeting Time leaned against Ye Ci and planted a warm kiss on her neck, "Doesn't he enjoy the feeling of being pursued? Why is he looking for a wife so soon? "
Ye Ci could not help but chuckle at Fleeting Time's actions, "Yup. I think he's thinking too far ahead." She told Fleeting Time about what happened in the afternoon as she dodged his kiss.
"Ye Ci, has anyone ever told you that your way of teaching is wrong?" Fleeting Time rested his head on his hand and lay down beside Ye Ci with a helpless smile on his face, "You're giving him the wrong values."
Ye Ci responded with a smile, "Don't be afraid. He's Yi Erbao."
