“Yan Jin!” Yu Shu’s forehead vein throbbed, he couldn’t help but slap the back of Yan Jin’s hand, “This is very dangerous, you should criticize, not praise her!”
Yan Jin made an “oh” sound and turned to Guobaorou, “Not sleeping at night and sitting outside all night will make you sick. Then the doctor will have to give you shots.”
Hearing this, Guobaorou fearfully shrank her neck.
[Strict father, gentle mother, tsk tsk tsk.] [Originally I thought Yu Shu as a father would be the kind with a really good temper who would play with the child. I didn’t expect him to actually be a strict and serious father.] [Look at Yan Jin’s appearance of fearing the world won’t be chaotic. If Yu Shu isn’t serious, this whole family won’t have any ‘proper form’. That would be outrageous.]After joking a few sentences and seeing Guobaorou relax, Yan Jin got serious, “Neither of us have taken care of children before. What if we accidentally raise someone else’s child badly? What if she runs out and gets in fights with other children? She’s still so young now, can she eat the same things as adults? Do we need to specially cook for her?”
Yu Shu whispered in Yan Jin’s ear, “We’re only taking her for a day.”
Yan Jin whispered back equally softly, “But taking care of a child is so troublesome.”
Guobaorou beside them patted her chest and loudly shouted, “I’m super well-behaved! I never pick my food, no need to specially cook for me.”
Yan Jin glanced at her and looked at Yu Shu, “We’ve been eating big fish and meat the past few days. Why don’t we eat some vegetarian food today to cleanse our intestines?”
“Whatever you say.” Yu Shu saw that Yan Jin wanted to tease Guobaorou and didn’t expose her. Instead, he cooperated, “After all, eating vegetarian can cleanse the intestines and is beneficial for health.”
Guobaorou’s face immediately fell, “Mother, Father, we’re not monks and nuns. Eating vegetarian is such a waste of that cute meat.”
Yu Shu was about to open his mouth but was preempted by Yan Jin, “If we eat meat, those cute little chickens, puppies, and piglets will be so sad.”
Guobaorou blinked her big eyes, “But I’m so good-looking. If they know they can be eaten by me, they’ll be so happy.”
After saying that, Guobaorou even stuck out her round little belly, “Mother, don’t worry, I’ll definitely eat them prettily! I won’t let them regret being eaten into my belly!”
Looking at Guobaorou’s smug little appearance, Yu Shu couldn’t help but whisper to Yan Jin, “Who knows what kind of people her parents are to raise such a confident child.”
“I actually think this lass quite suits my taste.” Yan Jin quite liked Guobaorou’s personality, “Saying things directly, being very straightforward, not being gloomy all day and making people guess what she’s thinking.”
“…Actually, what you really mean is that you think this kind of child is very easy to manage, right?” Yu Shu muttered softly, “In the future, if you have a child, with your personality of not caring about anything regarding the child, the child’s father definitely won’t feel at ease letting you take care of the child.”
“Although I don’t plan to raise one, if the child is a bit tougher, it would be easier to manage.” Yan Jin: “The more you worry about them, the less they grow up. If you let them roam free, they might actually grow up very strong.”
“Before, I pitied your future child. Now I’m starting to pity your child’s father. As long as he’s a bit responsible, he definitely won’t be able to stand by and watch your way of educating a child.” Yu Shu sighed, “I think your future other half, he must have an extremely strong heart.”
But speaking of which, Yu Shu suddenly remembered that a fan had once praised him for being able to read hateful comments with a straight face and continue writing songs.
That fan even praised him for having a very strong heart, ahem.
After Guobaorou finished eating, Yu Shu saw that she was dirty all over and wanted her to take a bath.
But Guobaorou was a girl and Yu Shu was a boy. Although Guobaorou was still young, men and women were ultimately different.
Yan Jin volunteered, “You go next door and borrow a few pieces of old children’s clothing, I’ll give Guobaorou a bath.”
“No, absolutely not.” Yu Shu directly refused Yan Jin.
It’s not that Yu Shu looked down on Yan Jin, but Yan Jin was clearly the type who wouldn’t know how to take care of people.
Yan Jin, who was too lazy to even reheat food and ate it cold, how could she be expected to bathe a child.
Besides, Guobaorou had only met them a few times, and Yan Jin was already helping her bathe.
He and Yan Jin had been through life and death together, yet Yan Jin had never taken care of him like this, hmph.
The two finally decided to go to the bathhouse and have the scrubbing aunt give Guobaorou a bath.
And conveniently send a message to the county magistrate, letting her know that Guobaorou was at Yan Jin and his place now, and to come pick her up tomorrow.
After the group went out, they happened to run into Xu Junde at the intersection.
