  Youyou lowered his head to look at Yueyao, who was nestled in his arms. His eyes were filled with tenderness.

  “Call me Big Brother.” Youyou squeezed her fleshy little hand. The softness of the contact melted his heart in a strange way. However, now that he asked her to greet him, she refused.

  As if she could not understand his words, she cocked her head to one side and blinked. Her clear eyes were wide open and looking right into Youyou’s, but her face was filled with confusion.

  “Didn’t you call me Big Brother just then?” Youyou shook her tiny hand and said, “Call me Big Brother again.”


  Yueyao grabbed his face and her gaze suddenly fell on his chest. She opened her mouth and revealed her soft and pink gum. Suddenly, she lunged at his chest and bit at his shirt.

  Youyou turned ashen at once! He told her stiffly, “I don’t have milk for you!”


  However, Yueyao could not understand him. She tugged at his shirt haphazardly with her tiny hands, and kept biting his shirt, staining it all over with her saliva. When Yun Shishi came in, she saw Youyou standing

  helplessly by the crib as Little Yueyao bit at his clothes as if she was drinking milk.

  Yueyao had stopped breastfeeding for a long time now. Subsequently, she had been fed milk powder.

  Hence Yun Shishi was greatly amused by this scene. She immediately walked over to put the milk bottle aside and took Yueyao over from Youyou. Hugging Yueyao, she coaxed, “You must be hungry?”


  She coaxed the child as she reached for the milk bottle. Youyou, on the other hand, had already taken the milk bottle and carefully placed it against Yueyao’s mouth.

  Yueyao took the teat in her mouth and started to suck on it with relish.

  “Tsk tsk tsk…” Accompanied by the sound of sucking of milk, Yueyao held the milk bottle in her hands and drank hungrily.

  Youyou sat by the side quietly, but he did not look at Yueyao. Instead, he looked at Yun Shishi in a daze, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

  Yun Shishi did not seem to notice that he was staring at her from the side. She mumbled to herself, “When you were young, you were much more well-behaved than your little sister. Even when you were hungry in the

  middle of the night, you would not cry. You would sleep through till dawn and not wake Mommy up. When Mommy finally woke up and ran over to check on you, I’d only see you gnawing on your own fingers hungrily!

  At that time, I thought that it must be because you were worried about Mommy being exhausted from work, that’s why you didn’t want to wake me up.”


  Youyou was a little surprised. “You… Were you still working at that time?”


  “Uh huh.” Yun Shishi nodded lightly. “At that time, I did some part-time work during the day and came home from work in the afternoon. It was only after you were weaned that I was able to go back to work without

  having to worry too much.”


  “What about Daddy?” When he realized he’d actually blurted out the word “Daddy”, he blushed and turned away from her awkwardly.

  When Yun Shishi heard this, she smiled in relief and immediately answered, “At that time, your daddy… wasn’t by our side. You know, in the past, there was no daddy, no brother, only you and I. The two of us relied on

  each other. Although our lives weren’t as comfortable as now, with you around, Mommy was always happy.”


  As she spoke, she recalled their happy past. Suddenly, she felt a stinging in her eyes. She blinked away her tears.

  After doing so, she turned to look at Youyou. He was staring at her without saying a word.

  “Youyou…” She took a deep breath and continued, “Don’t leave Mommy again, okay?”


  She could not bear such pain a second time……
