Chapter 210 How to be cool.

After Duan Jiaze came to Huating, the two brothers ran around all day long and laughed constantly, but one day, Xiao suddenly stopped laughing and had a stern and cold face.

Duan Jiaze fed him a drink, but instead of hearing the sweet "Brother Jiaze", he said a cold "thank you". His heart skipped a beat, and he felt that he was inexplicably familiar.

The next few days were the same. The kid who used to love to laugh suddenly had a sullen face every day, which made everyone feel uncomfortable, especially Duan Jiaze. He used to be treated very well. He would smile at him when he was called "brother". But now he only received a cold "brother Jiaze". He felt very awkward and couldn't even enjoy his meal.

My younger brother is still a baby, how come he suddenly becomes mature and steady?

Shen Zhiyi didn't have work that day, so she had breakfast with them. She heard Duan Jiaze ask Xiao Xiao very sadly, "Brother, why don't you like to laugh anymore?"

She and Pei Yu looked at each other and listened quietly in tacit understanding.

My child has been a little weird these past few days. He doesn't like to laugh anymore, but he doesn't seem to be angry with anyone. He plays when he should play and eats when he should eat. But most of the time he has a stern face and no expression, and he even speaks less.

Today's breakfast was very appetizing. Xiaoshi was very satisfied with the meal and in a good mood. In the past, he would have danced with joy, but now he sat very straight and glanced at Duan Jiaze, not seeming to want to answer.

Duan Jiaze had been wondering for several days and really wanted to know the answer. He shared the egg custard in the bowl with Xiaoshi and begged, "Brother, tell me~"

Xiao ate the egg custard, struggled for a while with a blank expression, and then told him, "I am imitating my father. I think my father is very cool, and I want to be cool too."

The restaurant suddenly became silent.

Duan Jiaze was horrified, "Brother, why are you so depressed?!"

What's so good about being like his uncle?!

Pei Yu glanced over coldly, and Duan Jiaze burped in fear when he was stared at.

But he still spoke the truth without fear of power, and said sadly, "Brother, you are so stupid!"

"Don't learn from your uncle, that's not cool at all!"

Xiao looked at him, then at Pei Yu who looked indifferent, and lowered his head to point at his fingers, "But, but I think it's cool."

Duan Jiaze was so sad. He never thought that his younger brother would go astray. He could only turn around and ask for help, "Aunt!"

Shen Zhiyi had already fallen down laughing in Pei Yu's arms. She really didn't expect that this was the reason why Xiaoshi had such a cold face these days.

She smiled with her eyes curved, and pinched Pei Yu's fingers, "What do you think?"

What could Pei Yu feel? He was puzzled by Xiaoshi's train of thought.

Duan Jiaze saw that the two adults were watching the fun, and felt a great sense of responsibility. He advised earnestly, "When you are young, people only like babies who love to smile, not babies with gruff faces. Don't learn from your uncle."

Xiaoshi blinked in confusion, "But Dad has a lot of people who like him."

He and Pei Yu had been to the company, and those people respected Pei Yu very much. Every time Pei Yu came, many people stood by and greeted him obediently, and then made way for Pei Yu to pass. Pei Yu had no expression on his face and walked calmly. He really thought that was very cool.

Duan Jiaze saw through the world and told the truth, "That's because your father is rich."

"And you," he shook his head, "you're still a baby."

"As long as you are a baby who loves to smile, people will like you. You don't need to be like your uncle."

Xiao looked at his father in confusion, puzzled by Duan Jiaze's theory of being rich, "Is that really the case?"

Pei Yu: "..."

Before he could figure out how to explain, Xiao Shi asked again, "Does mom like you because you're rich?" Duan Jiaze interrupted slyly, "I think that's for sure."

Pei Yu looked at him expressionlessly, "You are neither a baby nor rich, so is it impossible for others to like you?"

Duan Jiaze's defense broke: "Who said that? I have talent!"

Pei Yu sneered and looked him up and down, "I see you are just a body of flesh."

The little fat boy was already furious, "This is a personal attack!"

The situation got out of control and the topic went off track. Shen Zhiyi couldn't stand watching the fun anymore. She patted Pei Yu's hand to calm him down, fed Duan Jiaze a piece of bread to divert his attention, and finally held Xiao Shi in her arms.

"Mom likes Dad not because he's rich," she laughed, "nor because he's cool."

"It's hard to explain," she said with some difficulty. It's hard to explain this to an adult, let alone a child. "Your dad is cool, but it's not because of his cold face. So if you want to be cool, it's useless to just learn this."

Xiaoshi hugged her shoulders, a little depressed, "How can it be cool?"

He just wants to be a cool baby.

"You don't have to deliberately learn it," Shen Zhiyi said with a smile, "You are so much like your father, you will naturally become as cool as him when you grow up."

A surprise for a young age. It turns out that you can be cool without any effort.

He blinked. "Really?"

Pei Yu nodded and just said, "Trust your mother."

Duan Jiaze came over and said, "Brother, you are cool now too."

Other three-year-old babies can’t even solve a complex 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle.

After much persuasion, Xiao Shi finally gave up his plan of pretending to be cool with a cold face, and he giggled in Shen Zhiyi's arms.

At night, he gave up his little bed and came to find his mother with a pillow. He knew that he was no longer so welcome at this time, so he pushed the door gently, trying to sneak in. As long as he could coax his mother before his father, he could successfully stay overnight.

But it was useless, because as soon as he opened the door, he met Pei Yu's gaze.

Xiaoshi hung his head, a little depressed, and said softly, "I want to sleep with mom and dad."

Shen Zhiyi was in the bathroom. Pei Yu closed the book and reached out to him, "Come here."

When Xiaoshi found out that he was not driven away, he ran over happily and was hugged by Pei Yu, snuggling in his arms.

"Daddy smells so good," he held Pei Yu's arm and rubbed it everywhere, looking clingy, "I like Daddy so much."

He kept saying sweet words, but in fact he was afraid that Pei Yu would change his mind and drive him away again.

Pei Yu patted his butt, "Are you not trying to be cool now?"

"Hey, hey," Xiao Shi laid on his knees, sticking his butt out for him to pat, grinning, "It's not cool anymore."

He can grow up to be as cool as his dad.

Pei Yu rubbed the child's head, looked at his dark eyes, and said softly, "It doesn't matter if you're not cool. What dad likes most is your eyes that are like your mother's and love to smile."

He still remembers the surprise he felt when he saw Xiao Shi open his eyes. He had always wanted a child like Shen Zhiyi, and Xiao Shi made his wish come true.
