Chapter 208: Very good baby.
At the one-year-old birthday banquet, Pei Xiaoshi, in front of many guests, staggered around a table filled with various objects, and every time he stopped, everyone exclaimed.
Sometimes people thought he would choose the four treasures of the study, and sometimes they thought he would choose an abacus and a ruler. But every time everyone thought he was going to grab the object in front of him, Pei Xiaoshi would grin, babbling something that no one could understand, and then continue to rush to the next target.
After a few times, everyone discovered that the little baby was teasing the adults, probably because he thought the adults' reactions were very interesting and were "toys" he had never played with before.
Seeing that he had already circled the table and drooled, Shen Zhiyi suppressed his laughter and patted the baby's butt, "Stop playing, choose one."
Pei Xiao looked at her with his big eyes for a while, rubbed her palm affectionately, and seemed to understand, then continued to crawl forward unsteadily.
He was about to climb to the corner of the table, and several adults stood nearby, afraid that he would fall.
Qin Fang: "Is he going to choose a book?"
There is a book in front of the baby and he looks like he is running towards it.
With a "pop" sound, Pei Xiaoshi slapped his little hand on the cover. Everyone thought that this was the decision. Just as they were about to speak, they saw the baby wave his hand and the book fell to the ground. After he got rid of the things that were in the way, he dived into the arms of Pei Yu who was standing at the table, grabbed his shirt tightly, and happily spit out three saliva bubbles.
Pei Yu lowered his eyes to look at him, met the baby's dark eyes, and raised his eyebrows, "Choose me?"
Pei Xiao spit out saliva bubbles.
Pei Yu smiled, picked him up, and said to Shen Zhiyi, "He chose me."
Shen Zhiyi had guessed it when he saw the baby crawling towards him, and curled his eyes, "Good choice."
No one expected that as the baby grew older, the person he was closest to was Pei Yu.
The person who witnessed him turning over for the first time, crawling for the first time, and walking for the first time was Pei Yu.
Pei learned to speak when he was one and a half years old. At that time, he was playing in the game room under the care of the housekeeper. Suddenly he started to cry and asked for his mother, so the housekeeper carried him to the master bedroom.
At that time, Shen Zhiyi had just gone out of town to attend a two-day red carpet event. After she came back, Pei Yu became very clingy. The two of them played around in the bathroom and stayed there for a long time. Shen Zhiyi was only carried out by Pei Yu when she was about to fall asleep.
She saw Pei Xiaoshi playing with the ball obediently on the bed and waved at him, "Baby, come here."
Pei Xiaoshi was still walking unsteadily, so he crawled over with his butt sticking out. He looked at her for a while, then suddenly scratched her cheek with his hand, grinning, "Zhi-zhi-"
This was the first time the baby spoke clearly and completely. Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a while and looked at Pei Yu who had just come out of the bathroom. "The baby just spoke."
Pei Yu was also stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to look at Pei Xiaoshi, "Say it again?"
Pei had been taken care of by him for a long time when he was young, and he was very obedient to him. He called out "Zhizhi" clearly again, and then went back to playing with the ball by himself, shouting "Dad" with his hands and feet dancing.
Shen Zhiyi smiled and held the person in his arms, kissing Pei Xiaoshi on the cheek twice, "Baby, how come you are so amazing."
She felt strange again, "But why am I Zhizhi, not Mom?"
Pei Yu's eyebrows softened as he watched her playing with the baby. "Maybe she's imitating me."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After that, Pei made rapid progress in speaking and walking. He loved to learn how to speak from others, and his vocabulary was already amazing before he was two years old. However, he could not speak in long sentences and always spoke in a discontinuous manner, so there were some unclear expressions.
One morning, he followed Shen Zhiyi to the set and was originally going to stay in the lounge, but the place was too small and he couldn't stay there, so after a while he asked Xiao Dong to take him to find his mother.
The crew was filming, and Xiao Dong found a stool for him to watch from the side. Xiao Shi was quite bored at first, but he became more energetic after seeing Shen Zhiyi, whose eyes were almost exactly the same as hers.
It was a costume drama. He watched obediently at the beginning without saying a word, but soon his expression became strange because he saw Shen Zhiyi being stabbed by the male actor he was acting opposite.
Those were all props, and the blood bags were fake, but Pei Xiaoshi didn't understand these things. He only knew that the things with cold light were very dangerous, and that red blood was very scary.
The usually well-behaved child suddenly started crying and ran towards Shen Zhiyi, crying, "Dad! Dad!"
Everyone was shocked. Shen Zhiyi didn't care that there was still blood plasma on her body and quickly hugged the child. "What's wrong? Hours?"
Because the child kept calling for his father, no one knew the real reason for his crying and thought he was missing his father.
Shen Zhiyi also thought that he wanted to find Pei Yu. After all, the child and Pei Yu have always been very close. She kept stroking Xiaoshi's back to help him calm down as soon as possible. "Don't cry, don't cry. You want to find your dad, right? Let's call Dad right now, okay?"
Pei Xiao was frightened and cried very hard. This baby rarely cries since he learned to walk. He is usually a chatterbox, but when he is angry, he has a cold face and doesn't speak. He is exactly like Pei Yu, so it was very surprising that he shed tears this time.
He cried and touched the bloodstain in front of Shen Zhiyi, still calling for daddy, with obvious fear and panic in his eyes, "Dad...help..."
Shen Zhiyi suddenly understood, held his little face and wiped his tears, and asked him softly, "You want daddy to save mommy, right?"
Pei Xiao nodded and held her fingers tightly, "Looking for Daddy!"
He was only two years old, but he already felt that Pei Yu was omnipotent. No matter what happened, his first thought was to find his father.
Shen Zhiyi was so soft-hearted, "Mom is fine, Mom is not injured."
She rubbed some blood plasma on her hand, smeared it on the child's lips, and coaxed him, "Try it, it's not blood."
The crew used edible special plasma with a slightly sweet taste.
Pei Xiaoshi licked his lips, tasted the sweetness, and his expression became dull.
Shen Zhiyi wanted to laugh, but felt sorry for the child, "Is it the same as jam?"
She briefly explained a few words to the director and walked out holding the child, "Mom is filming, everything is fake, the crying is fake, the injury is also fake, don't be afraid."
Pei Xiaoshi cried for a while, leaned tiredly in her arms, and hugged her neck, "I don't understand, Xiaoshi doesn't understand."
"It's just like the cartoons you watched," Shen Zhiyi kissed his forehead, "Didn't you say Didi was fake? Someone made it with a computer and made it run and move. Mom's job is just like Didi, both are fake."
Didi is his favorite cartoon character. Qin Fang knew that he liked Didi, so he asked him if he wanted to meet Didi. He originally wanted to buy a doll costume of the same style to pretend. Unexpectedly, Pei Xiaoshi told his uncle Qin seriously that Didi was fake and asked Qin Fang not to be so stupid.
No one told him this. Everyone was happy to let him maintain his childish innocence. No one knew how he figured this out.
He is a really smart kid.
After listening to Shen Zhiyi's explanation, Pei Xiaoshi nodded as if he understood, and after a while he said, "No need to look for Dad."
Since mom is not injured, there is no need to look for dad.
"Yes," Shen Zhiyi felt distressed as she looked at his red eyes. "Our baby is crying and needs comfort from daddy, right?" Xiao Shi was a little shy and buried his face in her neck.
When he just learned to speak, he liked to imitate others. He accidentally heard Qin Xiaoran say that he loved to cry when he was a child, so he took "crybaby, crybaby" as his catchphrase. Later one day, he suddenly saw parents scolding their children on TV, beating them and telling them not to cry. He realized that crying is a bad thing. After that, he would be unhappy when he heard others say that he loved to cry, and he really stopped crying.
"It's not good to cry," he muttered, "It's not good to not think about it when you are young."
Teaching him is a particularly easy thing. Just tell him that doing something is bad or touching something is bad, and he will listen to you and will never do it again.
"How could that be?" Shen Zhiyi had long wanted to correct his perception. She didn't need a good baby, she only wanted a happy baby. "Mom cries too. Do you think she's a bad mom?"
Pei Xiaoshi's eyes widened in surprise, "Mom, crying?"
He hasn't seen it.
"Yes," Shen Zhiyi told him, "crying is a very normal thing, just like laughing, it's not shameful at all. Mom used to love crying."
The child listened blankly, and suddenly asked, "Why?"
Why are you crying?
"There are many reasons. I cry when I'm angry, I cry when I'm sad, and sometimes I cry when I'm too happy."
Pei Xiao didn't understand much at first, but he knew what Shen Zhiyi wanted to tell him, and he gradually realized that crying was not a bad thing.
"Actually, your father cried too," Shen Zhiyi whispered.
Pei Xiaoshi was so surprised that he lowered his voice along with her, as if he was afraid that others would hear him. "Really?"
Pei Yu spent a lot of time taking care of the children, and his gentle side was not always shown in front of Xiao Shi. Xiao Shi had seen his cold face, which looked fierce and powerful. He felt that Pei Yu would not cry.
"Yes, he cried when mom gave birth to you," Shen Zhiyi pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom saw it, this is our secret, don't tell dad, he will be shy."
Pei Xiaoshi tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked her, "Are you too happy?"
In fact, he should have been more afraid at that time, but Shen Zhiyi didn't want him to know this. He was too young and wouldn't understand.
So she nodded and said, "Yes, because Daddy is so happy to see you soon."
Pei Xiaoshi pursed her lips and smiled, looking very happy, and at this time she looked very much like Shen Zhiyi.
He leaned against Shen Zhiyi's profile, not as listless as before, "I want to see Dad."
Shen Zhiyi: "You'll see him soon."
The child didn't just cry loudly today, he was mainly frightened. He had always been held and cared for since he was a child, and this was the first time he cried loudly because of fear. Shen Zhiyi was heartbroken, so she suspended her work, accompanied the child to a restaurant to eat a children's meal, and then sent him to Pei Yu's company.
It was almost time for a nap, and Shen Zhiyi was afraid that he would have a nightmare because of what happened in the morning, so she told Pei Yu the whole story and asked him to comfort the baby.
Pei Yu had a social event outside at noon. When he came back, the child was already asleep. Because he had cried in the morning, his eyelids were a little swollen. He was sleeping with his arms and legs spread out, hugging his little blanket. It seemed that the child did not have any psychological trauma.
He watched quietly for a while, not wanting to disturb him, but the little boy woke up by himself. He was very happy to see his father, rolled over and burrowed into his arms, and shouted crisply, "Dad!"
"Yeah," Pei Yu held the child up by the buttocks. The child was spoiled and didn't like to sleep with clothes on. Now his buttocks were naked and chubby.
He took the pants and put them on Xiaoshi, and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared today?"
Pei Xiao pouted, not very happy and feeling ashamed, "Just a little bit."
"Crying too?"
When he was a child, he pouted even more and didn't say a word.
Although he knew crying was not a bad thing, he still felt ashamed because his mother was not really hurt.
Pei Yu patted his head and said gently, "You did a great job, Xiaoshi. You remember what your father said, right?"
He once told the children that if they encountered problems they could not solve, they should immediately ask him for help, whether he was around or not.
Hours obviously remembered.
The child looked up, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "It's very important, Mom, we need to find Dad."
"Yes," Pei Yu picked him up, "So Xiaoshi was great today. He did a great job protecting his mother. Xiaoshi is awesome."
After being praised, Xiao Shi happily swung his legs and began to imitate words, "Xiao Shi is awesome!"
Even when he returned to Hua Ting in the evening, he was still very excited. As soon as he saw the housekeeper, he kept talking, "Xiao Shi is great! Xiao Shi is great!"
The housekeeper was puzzled, but also gave affirmation, "Yeah, Xiaoshi is very good."
The fear of the morning was dispelled just like that, without leaving any trace in the child's heart.
But too much joy turned into sorrow. After taking a shower, I was running around naked and accidentally fell at the door, bruising my knee.
If it were in the past, the child would have held it back, but today, after being taught a lesson by Shen Zhiyi, the child immediately burst into tears.
He is still the baby who couldn't stop crying when he was little. He would still cry even after being held and coaxed for a long time. He would just howl if he couldn't cry out any tears.
Shen Zhiyi had always spoiled the child, and today she felt sorry for him, so she didn't feel tired and held him and coaxed him for more than an hour. During this time, she also promised him various conditions, such as taking him to the amusement park, taking him to eat fast food, and buying him a limited edition robot dog...
Pei Yu leaned against the door frame, watching the kid frown as he thought hard about what other conditions he could propose. He called his name in a moderate voice, "Pei Shi."
Pei Xiaoshi shivered, then stopped crying and turned into an angel baby again, kissing Shen Zhiyi obediently, "Thank you, mom. You are so kind."
Then he took the initiative to reach out for Pei Yu to hug him, and said sweetly, "Daddy is good too. Daddy is as good as mommy."
Shen Zhiyi was overjoyed and laughed at him for being so clever.
In terms of personality, when he was young, he was actually not like his father or his mother. He was a baby who grew up in love, a little clever and smart. He knew that many people loved him, so he would be willful sometimes, but at the same time he also gave a lot of love and cared about others.
He is just a very good baby.
I couldn't find a suitable place to end the chapter, so I merged the two chapters into one.
Applause for our wonderful little baby!
