Pei Jingzhou remained calm. “It’s indeed something to be happy about.”

“Yes, this Dr. Xu is very impressive. Yaoyao’s current good condition is all thanks to him.” Li Xiwu felt that after Yaoyao completely recovered, she had to thank Dr. Xu.

Pei Jingzhou knew what Li Xiwu was thinking. “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it.”

Li Xiwu nodded and said, “I’ll go over and take a look.”

Pei Jingzhou nodded.

In the children’s room.

As soon as Youyou entered, she ran to Yaoyao and hugged him in the most enthusiastic way possible before giving him a fierce kiss.

Little Jingzhe immediately leaned over. “And me, and…”

Youyou didn’t let go. She hugged Little Jingzhe and kissed her. “This is called treating everyone equally.”

Little Jingzhe laughed out loud. “I know, I know. Mommy kissed me and will kiss my father. She also said it was called this treating everyone equally.”

Youyou’s eyes curved into crescents. “My mother, too.”

Yaoyao listened silently at the side, looking envious.

Youyou turned around and hugged Yaoyao. “Brother, did you miss me?

Yaoyao was stunned at first, but right on the heels of that, he raised his hand and rubbed the cheek that Youyou had kissed. Although he didn’t answer Youyou, he didn’t push her away. Youyou was unhappy that she didn’t get a response. She shook Yaoyao’s arm. “Did you miss Youyou? Did you?”

From Yaoyao’s expression, it was obvious that he was a little frustrated, but even so, he did not push Youyou away. He only said in a muffled voice, “Why should I miss you?

Youyou smiled like a sunflower. “Because Mom and Dad said that Youyou is your sister and you are Youyou’s brother.”

Yaoyao’s face tensed. He turned to look at Youyou, who was hugging his arm and refusing to let go. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I wasn’t born your brother. It’s because your parents like me that I’m your brother.”

These words were completely unlike the words of a four-year-old child. To be able to say such a thing, he had to be at least seven or eight years old.

But this sentence really came from Yaoyao’s mouth. Li Xiwu heard it with her own ears outside the door.

She was not in a hurry to come in because she did not want to disturb the warm scene of the siblings who had not seen each other for five days. She looked at Youyou’s blissful face as she pestered Yaoyao.

But she had never expected Yaoyao to say such a thing to Youyou. Her heart also hurt from Yaoyao’s words.

Youyou didn’t quite understand the meaning of that sentence just now. She answered in the way she understood, “But Mom and Dad will always like you.”

Yaoyao’s tense face softened visibly. “I try my best to be obedient, to become what they like, because I hope they can always like me.”

These words were clearly expressed in a happy tone by Yaoyao. But no matter how one listened, it sounded a little lonely.

Li Xiwu felt a lump in her throat. She was afraid that she would lose her composure if she went in like this, so she wanted to leave and go to the bathroom to adjust her emotions. She turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou walking over.

All the emotions on her face could not escape Pei Jingzhou’s eyes. Before he got close, he could tell that she had lost her composure. Instead of asking immediately what had happened, he took her hand first to the terrace.

When there was no one else around, Pei Jingzhou pulled Li Xiwu into his arms. “Did you hear or see anything?”

Li Xiwu was not a sentimental person. Her emotions had always been very stable outside, but she had indeed not controlled them well just now. She leaned into Pei Jingzhou’s arms. “I ignored what Dr. Xu said that day. He said that children with autism are very sensitive and will be a few years more mature than their actual age.”

Pei Jingzhou asked sharply, “So what did Yaoyao say just now?

Li Xiwu nodded. “He’s being obedient now to please us. He even said that because we like him, he’s Youyou’s brother.”

Pei Jingzhou was silent. This was indeed not something a four-year-old child could say. As Dr. Xu had said, a child with such a condition would always be a few years more mature than their actual age.

Li Xiwu withdrew from Pei Jingzhou’s arms. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. “Yaoyao is becoming more and more dependent and trusting of us. This is a good thing, but there’s always a chasm in his heart. This chasm keeps him awake at all times. He thinks that only by pretending to be obedient will he be liked by us. If this continues, he will always think that we like him because he’s obedient. No, this can’t go on. I have to let Yaoyao know that he’s our baby. We love him very much.”

Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from her eyes. “Since he has made up his mind, it’s useless to tell him. We can only do something else to make him believe that we love him unconditionally.”

Li Xiwu took a deep breath. “I have a plan, but we’ll talk about it when we get back.”

Pei Jingzhou nodded. “Okay.”

Around ten o’clock, Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu left with Yaoyao and Youyou.

The world of children was very pure. They loved lively places.

Pei Jingzhou had booked a zoo and an aquarium, as well as the Valley of Happiness. The Valley of Happiness was very attractive to Youyou. That was the first place she wanted to go. At this moment, Yaoyao casually asked, “Is the next place an aquarium?

Li Xiwu nodded. “Yes, the aquarium. Yaoyao, do you want to go to the aquarium first?”

Before Yaoyao could answer, Youyou raised her hand. “I want to go to the aquarium too.”

Pei Jingzhou asked, “You’re not going to the Valley of Happiness?

Youyou giggled, revealing a row of white teeth. “Youyou will go wherever

Brother goes.”

Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou looked at each other and smiled.

“Okay, lees go to the aquarium first.”

For most children aged four or five, the aquarium and zoo were the most attractive places. There were all kinds of small animals and all kinds of fish visible through the thick glass, especially great white sharks and whales.

Youyou’s non-stop “wow” sound was heard the entire time. Most of the laughter was also coming from Youyou. Yaoyao was also very happy. Although he did not laugh as much as Youyou, the smile on his face did not disappear.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu walked behind the two children with masks on. Li Xiwu held Pei Jingzhou’s arm and said with a gentle smile, “I’ve never felt so happy in my life.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “I have a son, a daughter, and a wife. Not only this moment, it will be perfect in the future, too.”

Li Xiwu smiled. “Yes, you’re right. Not only now, but also in the future.”

When they passed by a four-meter tall arched glass wall, an uncle who was taking photos walked over and asked the two of them if they wanted to take photos.

Li Xiwu had this thought and asked Pei Jingzhou to communicate about the photo style first. She went to Youyou and Yaoyao and asked, “Do you want to take a photo together?”

Youyou danced. “Take photos, take

Yaoyao hesitated. “Take a photo? Us?”

Li Xiwu nodded. “Yes, let’s take a family photo together..”
