A childish yet strangely composed voice suddenly rang in Tang Xifeng's ears, giving him quite a fright.
He went rigid, froze for a moment, then looked around.
Who?
Who was talking?
Tang Tang paid no attention to her fourth uncle's sudden fit of odd behavior. She only had eyes for the twins, one refusing to look at her and the other studying her curiously.
How strange.
Normally, barring special circumstances, most people develop their personalities as they grow up. Why did these boys in the Tang Family stay exactly the same from childhood to adulthood?
I can understand my bowl-cut third brother, since my eldest brother had something to do with that. But these twins looked like a scaredy-cat and a crybaby from the moment they were born.
Her fifth brother, Tang Youzhen, was a boy through and through, yet he was a total crybaby. He cried when he felt bad, when someone spoke too harshly, when he felt wronged, and even when he was happy. The slightest thing could send tears streaming down his face.
As for her sixth brother, Tang Youhao, despite his respectable appearance, he supposedly had less courage than a pinhole was wide. He never dared do anything, earning plenty of disapproval from their grandfather.
Unbelievable. You're already three, and you don't even dare look at me, a thirty-day-old baby?
There has to be a limit to being a scaredy-cat!
*...*
Tang Youhao tightened his arms around his father's neck.
I don't know whose voice that is, but I feel like she's scolding me.
She's so scary.
I'm scared.
Tang Tang turned to Tang Youzhen.
Your eyes are so red. Have you already been crying?
You're crying already? If you find out you're getting a shot later, won't you scream the roof off the hospital?
The vaccination area was noisy enough already. With a world-class crybaby added to the mix, Tang Tang seriously suspected her eardrums would suffer.
A three-year-old might not know any better, but that didn't mean he understood nothing.
Especially with Tang Tang staring straight at him and calling him a crybaby. It would have been hard not to understand.
Tang Youzhen hated being called a crybaby more than anything.
The little chubby boy pursed his lips, then swung his hand at her.
"You're the cwybaby."
Smack! The slap caught everyone off guard.
"..."
An Jie stared in shock for a moment, then hurriedly backed away with her son in her arms.
"Sweetheart! Xiao Zhen! Why did you suddenly hit your little sister?"
Tang Tang was stunned too.
You little fatty! You actually hit me?
Even my mom and dad can't bear to handle me roughly, and you slapped my face!
An adult could put up with it. A child couldn't.
Besides, she was a fragile little baby now. She had even less reason to take it.
Completely forgetting that she was an old soul who had lived ten lifetimes, Tang Tang babbled and waved her hands, trying to hit him back-of course, she missed.
She was still a baby barely over thirty days old. She couldn't even sit up, much less lunge at someone and hit him.
Tang Xifeng was speechless.
This child really is a little handful.
But Beichen and his wife are reacting so calmly. They don't seem to be able to hear little Tangtang's thoughts.
Tang Youhao sneaked a glance at his fierce little sister, then immediately buried his face again.
My little sister is so scary.
For a while, everything descended into chaos.
Only after finally calming the two little terrors did Tang Beichen and Tang Xifeng settle their wives and children into some empty seats to rest, then go line up for a number.
"I'm sorry, Tangtang."
Holding her restless son in place, An Jie apologized to Tang Tang. "Your brother Youzhen isn't usually like this. I'll be sure to give him a proper scolding when we get home. Don't hold it against him. You'll play with Youzhen and Youhao in the future, won't you?"
Su Xiajing was terribly embarrassed, but she had no way to explain. "Tangtang loves cute, handsome older brothers best. In the future, she'll definitely love her fifth and sixth brothers just as much as her eldest and third brothers, right?"
Tang Tang turned her head away disdainfully.
Sure, I like pretty boys, but what do these two little fatties have to do with being handsome or cute?
...Even if they grow up to look decent, that has absolutely nothing to do with the little fatties they are now.
Su Xiajing was speechless.
Let's not get hung up on little details like that, sweetheart.
Tang Youzhen stared at Tang Tang with his round eyes, not blinking once.
He didn't understand why, when they were both children and she was even younger than him, she could say so much.
And she seemed to be saying she didn't like them again?
Was she saying he wasn't cute?
His mom, dad, and the aunties praised him and his little brother for being cute every day. What wasn't cute about him?
Tang Youzhen pursed his lips and burst into aggrieved tears.
The adults started frantically trying to soothe him again.
Tang Tang was speechless.
What a crybaby.
"Mom told me Xia Jing wants to divorce you?"
The brothers stood one behind the other in line. Tang Xifeng turned to him and said earnestly, "You're in the wrong here. Xia Jing just had a baby, and you went and did something like that. How could you?"
Tang Beichen was speechless.
Mom, just how many people have you told about me getting divorced?
And what exactly have you been telling them?
