Chapter 19: I'm Afraid There's Some Misunderstanding
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On the huge television, the pink pig was making a face at the camera.
Le Bao was speechless, but Ye Hui still said, "Children should watch this kind of cartoon. Look at this little pig."
"I don't like this pig," she said gloomily. "It looks stupid."
Ye Hui was silent for a few seconds again. He pretended to turn off the TV inadvertently. "Sigh... The TV seems to be broken."
Was that really possible? He turned off the power in front of her and said that the television was broken!
Le Bao's face flushed red. She looked at the television and then at him. Her small mouth pouted. "Big Brother, what should Le Bao do? Le Bao is so bored!"
Ye Hui couldn't think of anything that could solve her boredom. He spent most of his time working and going home.
Medicine was his hobby. Ye Zhong thought about what he had here that could help Le Bao relieve her boredom.
There were no children's toys, but something... that seemed similar?
"I'll collect some toys for you to play with."
Le Bao didn't have any expectations at all. When Ye Hui took out his so-called toy, Le Bao was truly dumbfounded.
"Cough… Let me teach you some medical knowledge." Ye Hui showed her a small human anatomy model.
The lungs, heart, stomach, large intestine, and other parts could be disassembled. It had to be said that this shocked Le Bao. She was not allowed to see those bloody scenes, but this bloody toy was okay?
Compared to this thing, she felt that Peppa Pig was a good cartoon.
What misunderstanding did her brother have about the word 'bloody'? Le Bao smiled with difficulty, raised her two small hands, and shook her head repeatedly to refuse. "Big Brother, play by yourself!"
Ye Hui had no choice but to put away the model he had collected. It just so happened that Le Bao's examination results were all out.
He took out the report from the computer and flipped through it one by one. Everything was fine, except for a slight malnutrition.
Compared to a normal three-year-old child, Le Bao was indeed thinner. Ye Hui sent the results to his father.
Soon after, his big brother called. Le Bao listened with her small ears, but she couldn't hear clearly what the two brothers were talking about.
Seeing her tiptoeing and staring at the phone in his hand, Ye Hui only said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Wait, she seems to have something to say to you."
Le Bao opened her small hand and took the phone. She placed it next to her face and said sweetly, "Big Brother, Big Brother, are you busy with work today?"
Ye Wei smiled and said, "I'm busy. I'm busy with work every day."
"Then you have to eat and sleep well! Le Bao will miss you!"
Le Bao's childish voice made Ye Wei laugh. "I miss Le Bao too."
The siblings hung up after a while, one coaxing the other.
The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Ye Hui spun his pen around at the side and said after she hung up.
"There's no one at home to take you these two days. You have to follow me. If you need anything, you have to tell me."
She didn't really need anything. All she needed was a pastime to pass the time!
Ye Hui seemed to have understood this point. He thought about it and made a decision. "I'll take you out to play after work."
Le Bao was finally looking forward to it. "Where are we going to play?"
Ocean World!
The last time Ye Hui saw this place in the brochure, Ye Zhao also said that he wanted to come here to play when he had the chance. If there were any special scenic spots that left a deep impression on Ye Hui recently, that was all he remembered.
As usual, the entrance of the Ocean World Park was filled with vendors selling all kinds of small toys and snacks. Le Bao held Ye Hui's hand and walked inside.
Ye Hui was obviously not used to such a crowded place, but he still endured it quietly.
Le Bao's gaze lingered on the toy headdress made of long balloons for a while. Ye Hui took the initiative to bring her over to buy it.
"Boss, give me one of this headwear."
"Give me two. Buy two and get a free chance to catch a small goldfish."
Le Bao looked at a small blue pool on the ground. Most of the parents who had bought balloons brought their children with them and used paper nets to fish for goldfish next to the pool.
The peddler was very good at doing business. He didn't give Ye Hui a chance to hesitate and stuffed two toys into their hands. He put one on each of their heads and quickly stuffed the paper fishing net into their hands.
There were still people who wanted to buy it, so they couldn't wait in line and not pay. Le Bao squeezed through the crowd under the escort of Ye Hui.
Ye Hui looked at them and suddenly became interested. "Shall I catch one or two for you to play with?"
There was a seven or eight-year-old child lying next to them. When he heard Ye Hui say this, he turned his head and said to them. "It's so difficult to catch. It took three or four people to find the small fish. The fishing net is made of paper and it broke in an instant!"
Le Bao saw the sign with the price of fishing nets on it and thought to himself, 'So this vendor doesn't mainly sell balloons. The balloons are just a gimmick. His purpose is to attract people to play this game of fishing goldfish.'
With so many people, there was a competitive atmosphere. The game was between adults and children.
A pair of father and daughter carefully picked up a small golden fish. Before they could get distracted, the fish jumped into the water.
The child was stunned for a moment and started crying. He insisted that his father pay to buy a few more baskets to try again.
Le Bao was protected in Ye Hui's arms. She secretly complained in her heart that these were all tricks used to deceive children.
The fish in the pool were not worth much. The key was the process of getting and losing. Facing the challenges of success and failure time and time again, they fell from the high end of expectations to the bottom of the valley.
Childish game.
"Do you want to play?" Ye Hui asked her.
Le Bao replied firmly, "Play!"
He rolled up his sleeves and picked up the fishing net. The fishing net made of glutinous rice paper was thin and fragile.
It was not difficult for Ye Hui to grasp the strength of this thin and fragile thing.
However, when the others had been fishing for a long time without any results, Le Bao… A small fish had already fallen into the small bucket in her hand. The fish jumped in the shallow water and the water splashed on her face.
Le Bao wiped the water droplets off her small face. When she saw the envious gazes of the children around her, she could not help but feel a little smug.
"Big Brother is awesome, Big Brother is too amazing!" Ye Hui turned around in surprise and saw Le Bao cheering him on with a serious expression.
Ye Hui raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. His eyes were like lightning as he quickly caught a fish and quickly lifted it up.
Plop, another small fish appeared in Le Bao's small bowl.
The child beside her finally couldn't hold it in anymore and leaned over. He looked at her with envy. "Let's change daddies. My daddy is too stupid."
"No way!" Le Bao quickly reached out to pull Ye Hui, her face stingy. "I won't give my brother to anyone!"
