Xixi was usually soft and gentle, like a little girl with no temper. However, when she was doing something she liked, such as the stage performances and handicrafts she had participated in when she was in kindergarten, or the dance competition she had participated in last year, the little girl could erupt with a tenacity that surprised even Yang Yi.
She had a strong desire to win, and she practiced very seriously. Even if she had stage fright at the beginning, and her little face was tense, she worked hard to do her best, without the slightest thought of retreating!
This was a good thing!
Therefore, when Xi Xi told her father that she was worried about not doing well in the final exam, Yang Yi also supported her to study hard and do her best to prepare for the final exam.
Why didn't he ease Xi Xi's mind? Let her let go of this obsession?
Because Yang Yi knew that there were some knots that needed to be untied by Xi Xi herself!
In Yang Yi's previous life, from the time he was ignorant and sensible, he had been struggling on the edge of life and death! At that time, he realized the law of the jungle: If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself! If you always fantasize about being comforted and helped by others, then only death awaited you! Only by constantly improving your own strength could you exchange for a chance of survival …
Although Xi Xi didn't need to face that cruel world, and she also had Yang Yi's protection, she could continue to grow up innocently and carefreely. However, Yang Yi didn't want his daughter to grow up to be a little sheep!
Yang Yi would also silently follow behind the challenges that she should face, and let Xi Xi think of her own solutions.
Just like this exam!
Yang Yi could indeed tell Xi Xi that she didn't need to care about this exam or two. Even if she didn't do well in the exam, her life could still be very exciting!
But was it really good to do so?
Reading too much of Chicken Soup Literature would make one cowardly!
Maybe she didn't care about the exam this time, but next time, and the time after that? Maybe Xi Xi would become lazy and not care about the exam. Would she still need to study? I don't care if my results are good or bad. I might as well lie at home all day and act like a salted fish!
Therefore, instead of feeding Xi Xi chicken soup for the soul, Yang Yi would rather let her take the risk!
Yang Yi had confidence in Xi Xi's IQ and academic performance. Perhaps if the young lady prepared so seriously, she would be able to do well in the exams. She might even be able to get first place and untie the knot in his heart!
Yang Yi also knew that as long as Xi Xi did well in the exams, she wouldn't be afraid the next time the term ended.
Of course, if Xi Xi didn't do well in the exams, it wouldn't be too late for Yang Yi to intervene and counsel her!
…
Everyone downstairs was playing, and only Xi Xi was upstairs reading seriously. Of course, Yang Yi's heart ached for her.
After playing for a while, Yang Yi looked at the time and realized that it was around 10: 30 pm. The young lady had been upstairs reading for more than an hour. He asked Murphy to look after Tong Tong while he got up and went upstairs to call Xi Xi down to eat some fruit.
The young lady was very obedient. After her father coaxed her for a while, she obediently came to the side of the pool. Murphy had already cut the cantaloupe and placed it on the coffee table next to the beach chair. Lan Xin was sitting at the side, eating to replenish her energy.
"Xi Xi, have some cantaloupe. It's super sweet!" Lan Xin saw Xi Xi coming down and immediately shouted excitedly.
She even enthusiastically took a piece and gave it to Xi Xi. She giggled and said, "It's really sweet! I ate a few pieces. It's sweeter than candy! "
When Xi Xi saw how happy her little friend was, the worry on her face faded a lot. She put on a more relaxed smile and took the cantaloupe. She laughed and said, "Hee hee, Xin Er, you also swam? I thought … I thought only my brother wanted to swim! "
Lan Xin didn't have time to talk. She ate another piece of cantaloupe. (Murphy cut the cantaloupe into smaller pieces. This way, adults could eat one piece at a time, and it wouldn't be easy for children to eat it. It would be sticky all over their faces.)
Lan Xin's mouth was stuffed with cantaloupe. After a while, she finished eating. Only then did she have a chance to talk. "It's too hot. I think swimming is very comfortable!"
"Xixi, why don't you come and swim too? I want to compete with you. Your brother can't swim. It's not fun! "Lan Xin looked at Xi Xi expectantly.
Yang Yi listened to their conversation. At this time, he smiled and patted Xi Xi's shoulder. She was still a little hesitant. He said, "Go and play. You've been reading for so long this morning. You can play for a while. It won't be too late to continue reading in the afternoon! We need to strike a balance between work and rest. "
Xi Xi didn't know what a balance between work and rest was. She was persuaded by her father.
Maybe it was because the weather was too hot. After standing outside for a while, the little girl's little face was oozing with sweat. The comfortable feeling of swimming was also calling her.
"Okay then!"
…
The final exam seemed to give Xi Xi a lot of pressure!
When they went to bed at night, Yang Yi and Mo Fei were talking about some adult topics in bed. Suddenly, their bedroom door was gently knocked twice.
In fact, the door wasn't locked … but the soundproofing was good. If they didn't shout loudly, the people outside wouldn't hear them. But if they shouted loudly, Tong Tong would still be sleeping in her small bed next to them! Yang Yi jumped out of bed and went to open the door.
When the door opened, Yang Yi was surprised to see the little girl in a nightgown. She was holding her cartoon pillow and standing there pitifully.
"Papa, can I sleep with you and Mom?" Xi Xi looked at her father and asked in a soft voice.
Xi Xi hadn't asked to sleep with her parents for a long time! Moreover, she was usually quite brave. Last time when they went to Taiwan, Lan Xin was so scared by the dark yard that she didn't dare to sleep. Xi Xi was very brave and calmly fell asleep.
However, before Yang Yi asked, Xi Xi pouted and explained, "Because, because the exam is tomorrow, I won't be so nervous if I sleep with Papa and Mom!"
He didn't know how Xi Xi's logic was built, but sometimes, a girl's emotions were unreasonable. Yang Yi also felt his daughter's weakness. Seeing the little girl's helplessness, how could he refuse?
"Come in!" Yang Yi smiled and rubbed the little girl's head. He said, "Sleep well tonight, and we'll do well in the exam tomorrow!"
Perhaps influenced by her father's positive mood, Xixi also beamed with joy. She giggled and ran past her father. She quickly climbed onto the bed and stepped on the quilt. Then, she cheered and threw herself in the middle of the quilt. Only then did she raise her little head and giggle with her mother.
Murphy helped her put the small pillow in place. Then, she laughed and pinched the little girl's nose. She said, "What time is it? Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Because I have an exam tomorrow!" The little girl turned over and lay on her back on the quilt. She said confidently.
"Then you have to sleep quickly. Moreover, your brother is asleep and you're still talking so loudly! Hurry up, cover yourself with the quilt and go to sleep. I'm going to turn off the light soon! "Murphy threatened.
After a burst of laughter mixed with Xi Xi's laughter, Xi Xi finally got what she wanted. She comfortably lay in the middle of her father and mother. It felt good to be surrounded! It gave her a sense of security!
"Papa!" In the dark, the little girl who didn't want to sleep blinked her big eyes.
"Hmm?"
"Let me tell you, this trick was taught to me by Little Fishy. She, she said that before the exam, she always let her Mom sleep with her!" Xi Xi whispered, as if she was afraid that her mother would hear it.
Of course, Murphy heard it. However, she didn't interrupt.
"Now that you're sleeping with daddy and mommy, does that mean that you won't be nervous tomorrow?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I don't know." The little girl mischievously stuck out her little tongue. But in the dark, nothing could be seen.
"It's just a final exam! You see, daddy and mommy are supporting you, so you don't have to be nervous! Go for the exam normally. Daddy believes that you can do well! "Yang Yi encouraged.
"En, en!" The little girl hugged her father's arm and comfortably hummed.
"In addition, daddy also wants to give you courage!" At this time, Yang Yi suddenly had an idea. He turned into a big charlatan. He used his big hand to cover Xi Xi's eyes. His voice was very bewitching as he said, "Do you feel it? It's very warm courage! "
"Warm courage?" The little girl was skeptical.
"Yes!" Yang Yi mysteriously said, "Daddy will lend you my courage for one day. Like this, you will definitely do well in tomorrow's exam! You have to believe in daddy's courage! "
"So powerful?" Xi Xi muttered in a daze.
After being covered by her father's hand for a while, Xi Xi began to feel a little sleepy.
"It's really that powerful!" Yang Yi removed his hand and said with certainty.
"Then I also want to become as powerful as daddy …." The little girl believed it. With a heart full of joy, she sweetly fell asleep.
