Chapter 3224: Wedding Of The Century (9)
“Brother-in-law, let’s make a bet that Yueyao’s first word will be ‘uncle’.”
The boy protested unhappily, “Why not ‘big brother’?”
Gong Jie slapped the back of his head and said in disdain, “Go away. It’s none of your business.”
Youyou held the back of his head with one hand and glared at the man fiercely. Then as though a thought suddenly occurred to him, he smiled slyly and turned around to whisper a few words into Little Yichen’s ear.
An expression of realization came over the latter’s face and then he smiled mysteriously at Youyou. The two little lads smirked wickedly.
That night, Youyou and Little Yichen stealthily opened the bedroom door and slipped into the master bedroom.
The door to the master bedroom was ajar. Little Yichen tiptoed into the nursery and made his way to the crib. When he poked his head over, he saw that little Yueyao was awake. Her eyes were wide open, and when she saw him, she was so excited that she squinted her eyes and smiled. She kicked her legs excitedly.
Little Yichen immediately raised his finger and gestured for her to keep quiet. But of course, little Yueyao had no idea what the gesture meant. Instead, she was curious. She widened her eyes and tilted her head in confusion.
He bent over and carefully picked up Yueyao. Then, he carried his sister and slipped out of the room to his bedroom.
Youyou took the milk bottle and let Little Yichen carry Little Yueyao. First, he fed his beloved sister. When the little guy was full, Little Yichen picked the baby up in his arms. Youyou then faced her and smiled gently.
“Yueyao, Big Brother will teach you how to speak, okay?”
Little Yueyao smacked her lips. Her pair of bright eyes sparkled brightly complementing the moonlight.
Youyou grabbed her hand and said to her a word at a time, “Big—Brother—”
He deliberately spoke slowly and clearly, teaching her seriously.
When Yueyao heard this, perhaps she was amused by his expression as he slowed down his speech. She kicked her legs excitedly and giggled.
“Ke ke ke…”
Youyou was fl.u.s.tered and repeated, “Yueyao, say ‘big—brother—”
“Ke ke ke…”
Little Yueyao kicked her legs in excitement again!
Youyou held his forehead, feeling an inexplicable sense of helplessness!
Little Yichen hurriedly consoled him. “Youyou, don’t be anxious! Little Sister is only six months old. We’re way in advance, teaching her how to speak at this point. Moreover, she doesn’t understand anything and needs to be taught patiently!”
Hearing this, Youyou said innocently, “Little Sister doesn’t seem to understand me.”
“You didn’t understand what people are saying too, when you were her age.”
“…”
“Take your time!”
Little Yichen grinned. “We must make sure that Little Sister’s first words are ‘big brother’! That will drive Uncle and Daddy up the wall!”
“Hmph, that’s right!”
When Youyou imagined how Gong Jie would look if little Yueyao’s first words were “big brother”, it gave him great motivation to persevere!
“Big Brother…”
“Ke ke ke…”
“Big Brother… Big Brother…”
“Ke ke ke…”
Eventually, Youyou was on the verge of losing his voice. Although, he discovered how easily his little sister was tickled.
“Little Sister loves to laugh!”
Little Yichen realized this problem. “Ever since Little Sister was born, she hasn’t cried very much other than when she is hungry and feeling unwell. I heard from Mommy that when she was newly delivered, she had only let out a few symbolic howls…”
