“Come here, Ye Xicheng.”
Ye Xicheng jumped when he heard his father calling for him downstairs and stuffed the box back in its original place. He quickly switched off the lights and got out of the darkroom.
He did not get to have a good look at the certificate but he had found it and could come back for it anytime.
“Who are you yelling at, Gu Juexi?” Ye Yuwei asked, carrying Xixi who was still crying in her arms.
Ye Xicheng ran downstairs and saw his little sister who was still crying. He understood right away that he was going to get lectured by his father.
Lucky for him, he had his mother who loved him the most and would always side with him.
“What did you say to your sister, Ye Xicheng?” Gu Juexi softened his tone after getting yelled at by his wife.
“He said that I have gained weight,” Xixi complained to her father while sticking her pudgy arms out for her father to carry her.
Ye Yuwei did not expect that and was speechless. She passed the little girl to Gu Juexi and glanced at her face that had obviously become chubbier. She wanted to defend her son but was worried about breaking her daughter’s heart at the same time.
Ye Xicheng hugged his mother’s leg and looked up at his mother. “Mommy,” he called out.
“Be tactful when you tell your sister that she has gained weight next time, okay?” Ye Yuwei murmured as she stroked Ye Xicheng’s hair.
Ye Xicheng thought about it then nodded and said, “Alright then, Xixi looks cuter than she did before.”
“Brother is still saying that I am fat!” Xixi was whining even louder after what Ye Xicheng said.
“Ye Xicheng, you...”
“Don’t yell at my son.” Ye Yuwei carried Ye Xicheng in her arms and glared at Gu Juexi. “Did my son say anything wrong?”
Ye Xicheng wrapped his arms around Ye Yuwei’s neck and made faces at Gu Juexi.
“What’s the big deal? Stop crying now, Xixi,” Ye Yuwei said as she carried her son into the living room.
Xixi continued to sob in Gu Juexi’s arms. How was this not a big deal? She was fat now!
Mommy didn’t seem to care about her. How upsetting!
Ye Yuwei put Ye Xicheng down on the sofa, while Xixi reached out and looked around for her mother. What if Mommy only loved Brother and not her anymore?
Ye Yuwei took her daughter from Gu Juexi and wiped the tears off her face. “It’s not a big deal, let’s stop crying, okay?”
Xixi listened to her mother and stuck out her pudgy arms to show her.
Ye Yuwei looked at her daughter’s chubby arm rolls and did not know what to say for a moment. It looked like Xixi did gain some weight.
“It’s okay, don’t cry because you look the best to Mommy no matter what. Let’s just eat less from now on, okay?” Ye Yuwei patted Xixi’s back and comforted her softly.
“The kids now care about their appearance from such a young age,” said Wen Jie in surprise. She had been comforting Xixi to make her stop crying for so long but to no avail.
“Our neighbor back in Country X was an American couple. They have a five-year-old daughter who is slightly younger than Xicheng and Xixi, but weighs heavier than both of them put together,” Ye Yuwei chatted with her mother-in-law while comforting Xixi in her arms. “We used to joke that Xixi would look like our neighbor Yoim if she gained weight.”
“Yoim was so fat that we could hardly see her eyes! She didn’t look good.” Xixi sobbed.
Ye Xicheng rolled his eyes silently. The old meatball and Mommy were both the skinny type. There was no chance that Xixi would grow into a size as big as that.
“Don’t mess with your sister,” Gu Juexi chided and smacked his son’s head gently.
Ye Xicheng grabbed the back of the sofa to steady himself and let out a humph. He would dump this instant father, sooner or later.
