Research has shown that when one's mood is unstable, the body, especially the brain, needs energy replenishment. At this time, the sugar, flour and other carbohydrates in desserts are digested quickly and can quickly meet the energy needs at this time.
In addition, people can experience a kind of happiness in the process of eating desserts, which also helps to relieve tension. This is also why some girls need to eat something sweet during their menstrual period.
Of course, Xi Xi was mentally tired purely because of the combination of negative emotions such as worry, fear, and self-blame.
Yang Yi reversed the order of the French dishes and asked the waiter to serve the dessert first. He also carefully helped the little girl cut the small opal cake on the big plate into small pieces, and then let her eat it with a fork.
After all, the opal cake has six layers, and the little girl's mouth is not big, she can't eat a whole piece!
Xixi ate the cake piece by piece. The sweetness and softness of the coffee syrup and chocolate sauce, as well as the softness and fragrance of the almond sponge cake, seemed to melt on the tip of her tongue layer by layer, turning into energy bit by bit and merging into her limbs and bones.
The beauty of the food finally made the little girl gradually loosen her frown. Her mouth was full, and her slender and beautiful eyelashes moved. She raised her eyelids and looked at her father with a little smile in her big eyes. Of course, she seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"Is it delicious?" Yang Yi smiled at his daughter. From the beginning to the end, his gentle voice and kind smile made Xi Xi feel that her father didn't blame her.
The little girl was a little relieved and nodded to her father.
"PaPa, you also eat." Xi Xi stretched out her small arms and forked a piece of cake on the fork that was handed to her.
"Well, it's really sweet!" Yang Yi didn't let Xi Xi down. He stretched out his neck and gently bit the cake. While eating, he gave the little girl a thumbs-up.
"Hee hee!" Xi Xi finally showed a smile.
Seeing that his daughter's mood was relieved, Yang Yi decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"Actually, I think you did well today. Although you fought with a boy, you didn't lose. You didn't let me down." After Yang Yi praised his daughter, he suddenly felt that his words were not very good. He had exposed his violent nature, and this had a bad influence on Xi Xi, who was a girl.
Therefore, when he saw Xi Xi's shocked expression, Yang Yi quickly added, "Of course, I'm not encouraging you to fight. I just want to tell you that you didn't do anything wrong. You don't have to blame yourself too much."
Xi Xi was a little confused. She frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "But, but Mom said we can't fight. Fighting is not a good thing."
"That depends on the situation. Why do you think they're fighting?" Yang Yi smiled and said, "If you're like Wang Xijuan and the others, bullying others and fighting, then you're not a good child. You're disobedient, right?"
Xi Xi blinked and said, "But they apologized."
This … why did it seem like the topic had suddenly changed?
Yang Yi had to twist his brain to keep up with his daughter's rhythm. He thought for a moment and said, "Yes, they apologized later, so they were okay later. But they bullied Nan Zhaoyu and Lu Weisha. They're not good children."
Xi Xi finally nodded.
"But you didn't bully them! You were helping your friends and not letting them be bullied. That's why you stood up for them, "Yang Yi said.
"What do you mean by standing up for them?" When talking to Xi Xi, he couldn't use idioms that she didn't understand. The little girl asked in confusion again.
"It means to help your friends." Yang Yi said patiently, "Right? Our Xi Xi is very good, just like your favorite Sister Elsa. She has powerful magic, and she eventually used it to protect her Sister Anna. Here, she fought with the bad guys. It's not a bad thing. On the contrary, it shows that she's very brave!"
After giving an example, Xi Xi quickly understood. The little girl's brain was very flexible. She said, "You can't beat Sister Anna, you can only beat the bad guys."
"Yes!" Yang Yi snapped his fingers with relief and said to his daughter with a smile, "That's the truth. Dad will give another example. Do you think Dad is very good at kung fu? "
This could definitely be said to be Xi Xi's proudest thing.
The little girl puffed out her chest, and her little face was full of admiration for her father. She said very seriously, "Papa is the best!"
"Haha, thank you, Xi Xi, baby." Yang Yi's complacency showed on his eyebrows, but he didn't let it get to the point. "Dad, you've never used your kung fu to bully others. You only use it to protect Mom and Xi Xi, right?"
"Papa can beat the big bad wolf." The little girl's thoughts drifted again.
"Yes, bad guys like the big bad wolf, Dad will beat them until they don't dare to show up!" Yang Yi tried to turn the topic back and said, "In the same way, Xi Xi also fought with them to protect her good friends. So you don't have to blame yourself too much, because you didn't do anything wrong!"
Xi Xi looked at her father with some joy, but she was still a little unsure. She whispered, "Really?"
"Of course, Dad is proud of you! It's because Xixi is so responsible. She even defeated two boys. " Yang Yi smiled, stretched out his long arm, rubbed Xi Xi's little head, and said, "You're indeed Yang Yi's daughter!"
"Hee hee!" The little girl didn't understand the meaning of the last sentence, but being praised by her father like this, she was still a little happy, and she smiled a little embarrassedly.
"However, Dad wants to tell you one more thing, which is when you should stand up, when you should learn to endure, and then tell Dad to help you solve it." After letting his daughter accept his values, Yang Yi still had to say a few more words. After all, he didn't want his daughter to become a hero.
Without superpowers, it wasn't like living in a movie, heroes would also sacrifice themselves! Yang Yi just wanted the little girl to learn to protect herself, and that was enough.
Xi Xi obediently sat on the chair opposite, and looked at her father with her big eyes.
"Unless you think it's necessary, or you're much more powerful than the opponent, and you can definitely defeat him, then you can make a move." Yang Yi put on a boxing stance, gently waved his fist, and said to Xi Xi, "Dad will teach you some martial arts in the future, how to protect yourself and at the same time, knock down the bad guys at the fastest speed!"
"But!" Yang Yi withdrew his fist, raised a finger, and said very seriously, "Most of the time, if you can avoid making a move, don't make a move. Xi Xi, you just need to remember that Dad is the most powerful, and then if you encounter a problem, tell Dad to help you solve it. If you encounter a bad guy, tell Dad to help you beat him until he pisses his pants! "
Hearing this, Xi Xi couldn't help but smile. She giggled and said, "Dad beat the bad guy, and sent him flying with one punch."
This joke probably came from the short story Yang Yi told to Xi Xi about "Boonie Bears". These somewhat nonsensical stories were made up by Yang Yi according to the character's framework. He had never seen Boonie Bears, and only knew that there were Baldy Qiang, Big Bear, Bramble, and other characters.
In addition, Yang Yi occasionally took Xi Xi to the boxing gym to play with Lan Xin and Chen Shiyun, so in these stories, there were many plots of Big Bear and Bramble beating the bad guys with their big fists.
Looking at the little girl's happy smile, Yang Yi felt relieved. He smiled and shook his head.
For some reason, Yang Yi remembered that Teacher Mu seemed to have said that Xi Xi had beaten a little boy with one punch. Could it be because she was good at boxing?
Of course, Yang Yi still decided to slowly teach Xi Xi some simple fighting skills. It didn't matter if she didn't learn kung fu. In the future, if she encountered a fight with a boy like today, his daughter couldn't be at a disadvantage!
…
Obviously, Yang Yi's way of teaching his daughter was still a little difficult for Murphy to accept.
In the afternoon, Murphy saw her daughter, who had worried her for a long time. In the end, she heard the little girl happily tell her mother that she had bravely beaten the bad guy today, and that she had also received her father's praise. Murphy's pair of beautiful eyes immediately glared at Yang Yi.
Although she didn't expose Yang Yi in front of Xi Xi, when they went back, Murphy still grabbed Yang Yi and forced him to say that he wouldn't teach his daughter to be violent or a tomboy. Only then did she stop.
"However, I was still very surprised that Xi Xi could defeat two boys." Murphy snuggled in Yang Yi's arms and turned to look at her sweetly sleeping daughter. She couldn't help but smile softly. "I usually think that she's very obedient. She doesn't even get angry with others. I didn't expect that she could …"
"She can also explode into a small universe, right?" Yang Yi helped her find the words to describe her.
"This is the first time I've heard of such a word, but it's quite vivid." Murphy laughed.
"Haha, after all that talk, you're actually secretly happy!" Yang Yi pinched Murphy's nose and laughed. "You even said that I shouldn't teach Xi Xi how to fight."
"I didn't say that I was happy! After all, fighting is not good, but … but Xi Xi can't be bullied and not fight back. "Murphy stubbornly defended herself." I hope that no one will bully anyone. "
"Alright, alright. You've been worried for a long time today. Hurry up and go to sleep. With me here, no one will dare to bully our daughter!" Yang Yi coaxed Murphy.
