Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Qianci noticed sothing amiss. She leaned over to ask, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Li Jianqian used his chopsticks to pick up so food and put it into his mouth. His forceful actions betrayed his anger.
Li Sicheng noticed that. With raised eyebrows, he asked, “Dasu, are you unhappy about sothing?”
“No,” Li Jianqian insisted. He reached his chopsticks out again and picked out so food to eat.
“What are you unhappy about?” Li Sicheng asked.
Li Jianqian replied, “I’m not unhappy.”
“Did Ersu upset you again?” Li Sicheng asked while poaching beef in the pot for his wife.
When Li Jianyue heard her na ntioned suddenly, she looked up and blinked a few tis before protesting, “Daddy, I didn’t. Older Brother was playing a ga with Older Brother Mosen and they lost.”
“Oh?” Li Sicheng looked at Li Jianqian. “Is that so?”
Li Jianqian was silent for a mont before replying sullenly, “Mosen is always doing that. The mont Ersu calls, he stops playing. It always causes to lose the ga!”
“I’m sorry, Dasu,” Li Mosen was seated beside Li Jianqian. “Ersu’s button ca undone, so I helped her to button it back.”
“But, you’re always doing it at the most crucial mont! I hate that!” Li Jianqian ground out between his teeth and resud eating without saying another word.
Everyone around had a rough idea of what had happened. Li Jianyue pursed her lips in uncertainty before apologizing. “Please don’t be angry, Older Brother. It was all my fault. I won’t interrupt you when you’re in the middle of a ga in the future.”
Li Sicheng’s brows creased together as he declared, “A man should act like one and be magnanimous. Protecting your sister is your responsibility. Helping her is sothing that goes without saying. What do you have to be angry about?”
Su Qianci heard that and tugged on Li Sicheng’s sleeve as she admonished, “Don’t talk nonsense to the children!”
Li Sicheng flipped his hand over and held Su Qianci’s hand in his own. “The children are still young, but there are still so things that they need to know. The most important thing to a man should be his family. Regardless of whether it’s his mother or sister, he should protect them well. As for you boys, regardless of how old you are, you should be strong and independent. You shouldn’t be lashing out at other people, much less getting angry at your little sister. Do you hear ?”
That logic sounded bizarre to Yu Lili. She glanced at Ou Ming and whispered, “Your second brother is way too biased.”
Ou Ming smiled and turned to face her. He replied softly, “He is a little. But, this is how boys should be taught.”
Yu Lili was speechless in exasperation. They are indeed birds of the sa feather!
When Li Jianqian heard his father’s lecture, his lips tightened into a thin line. He mumbled back, “I didn’t lash out.”
Indeed, he hadn’t. If it weren’t for Su Qianci and Li Sicheng’s incessant prodding, he would never have even voiced his unhappiness.
Su Qianci felt her heart ache for the boy. She gave Li Sicheng a nudge as she remarked, “Shut up! You’re being annoying!”
Following that, she went over to Li Jianqian’s side and said, “Don’t listen to your dad. If you’re unhappy about anything in the future, voice it out! Tell it to Mommy.”
Li Sicheng saw how protective his wife was being toward their son but didn’t say anything to interrupt her.
Monts later, he poached a few slices of beef and placed them into Li Jianqian’s bowl. “You’re still young, so I’ll let it go this ti. In the future, you have to learn to control your emotions. You have to be clear about your priorities and what’s important. If you allow any small issue to affect your mood, then you’ll be too much of a failure as a human being.”
“Just shut up!” Su Qianci felt her blood boil when she heard that. “The kid is still so young!”
