How to raise a father who is overly controlling of his daughter

What can you do to me?!

"Hehe." Yixue didn't speak, but just smiled, and her smile became even brighter.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Afternoon Nap

After wiping the table and washing the dishes, Yi Yue yawned, feeling a little dizzy.

He goes to bed late and gets up early, only getting five or six hours of sleep. Not to mention he's just recovered from a serious illness, and it's still summer, so of course he's sleepy.

"Take a nap. After you drop Yixue and the others off at school, you can go back to sleep."

Izuki rubbed her eyes and was about to go back to her bedroom when she suddenly remembered that Reina hadn't recited the book to him yet.

Izuki was a little worried about Rena, thinking she was too young and playful. She was afraid that if she didn't remind her, Rena would neglect her studies.

Gritting my teeth and pulling myself together, I took out the two cups of juice I had made at noon from the refrigerator. I delivered one of them to Rena's room first.

Knock on the door, and then Izuki comes in.

For the first time ever, Rena wasn't reading comics or novels; instead, she had a Chinese textbook on her desk and was reciting ancient poems.

"Have you memorized it yet?" Itsuki asked gently, surprised that Rena was actually reciting a text.

Rena shook her head: "I haven't memorized it yet."

I was in such a hurry when I was memorizing it in the hallway that I could barely manage to memorize it, but I inevitably stumbled over it and kept thinking about the next sentence after finishing one.

Now that she's home, with the time and environment, she's determined to memorize it perfectly.

"Take your time, don't rush. Have a glass of juice first." Seeing Rena's serious expression, Itsuki was particularly pleased and placed the juice next to Rena.

"Take your time memorizing it, I'll go out first. Come to me for a check when you've memorized it... Hmm..." As she spoke, Yi Yue yawned, her head spinning, wanting to sleep.

Yi Yue shook her head gently, deciding to sleep later, after dropping Ling Naiyi Xue off at school.

Rena heard Itsuki yawn, turned around and saw Itsuki looking exhausted.

Izuki gets up early every day to cook; she must be very tired. The reason Izuki got sick was largely due to overwork.

Judging by the time, Yiyue should be taking a nap now.

Reina said with some heartache, "Dad, why don't you go to sleep first? I'll ask my sister to carry me later."

“This…” Yi Yue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, “Yi Xue also needs to study, and maybe she needs to take a nap. It wouldn’t be good to disturb her.”

Izuki felt she could still hold on.

"Go to sleep, what if you get sick again like the day before yesterday?" Rena said worriedly, "What if... what if..."

Reina lowered her head, and Izuki thought to herself, "If I get sick again, who will cook for them and take them to school?" Seeing Reina's worried little face, I felt a little sad. "As a father, I'm making my daughter worry so much. I'm really terrible." I sighed and realized that I really needed to adjust my sleep schedule.

Interests are interests, but my daughter and my health come first.

Yi Yue wants to shorten her live stream time and make more high-quality ASMR videos to compensate.

Adjust your schedule and go to bed earlier every day.

"Okay, I understand." Izuki gently patted Rena's head. "Thank you for reminding me, Rena. I'll go to sleep right away."

Rena blushed, her face turning bright red, as Izuki stroked her head. She stubbornly retorted, "What I mean is, what if you get sick? Who will cook delicious food for me?"

Yi Yue found it amusing: "Yeah, yeah, I'm sick, so no one will cook for you. You can continue studying, I won't bother you anymore." She walked out and gently closed the door.

Rena turned around, facing the Chinese textbook on the table, took a sip of juice, and cheered herself up: "Go for it!"

……

Yixue's room.

"Bang bang bang."

Yixue, who was doing her homework, heard a knock on the door and said, "Come in."

Yi Yue opened the door, holding a glass of juice, and placed it next to Yi Xue: "Have a glass of juice first, rest for a while before writing."

"Mmm." Yixue smiled and nodded, put down her pen, and took a sip of juice: "Mmm, it's very sweet and delicious."

"Yes, I'm glad you like it." Seeing that Yixue enjoyed the drink, Yiyue was very happy.

"Yixue, are you going to take a nap later?" Yiyue suddenly asked.

"No," Yixue said.

"Do you have important homework to do later?" Yi Yue asked again.

"No, what's wrong, Dad?" Yixue asked curiously. "Is something the matter?"

"That's good." Yi Yue breathed a sigh of relief. If Yi Xue had a nap or important homework to finish, she wouldn't disturb her. Even if she was tired, she would stay up to help Ling Nai check her memorization.

"I'm a little tired and want to take a nap, but Rena hasn't memorized the poems yet, and I'm a little worried about her. Could you check them for me later? It won't take up much of your time; just review the poems from before class," Izuki said.

Yi Xue noticed that Yi Yue looked a little tired and felt very sorry for her: "Dad, what are you saying? Go to sleep if you're tired. It's just a small thing, don't worry."

"Mm." Yi Yue forced a smile. With Yi Xue's words, he felt relieved. In Yi Yue's eyes, Yi Xue was very sensible and reliable.

"By the way, don't wait for Rena to come to you before you listen to her recite it. It's best to go to Rena later and have her recite it to you."

Yi Yue was a little worried about Ling Nai, thinking that Ling Nai would only have a short attention span and would soon forget about studying and not come to Yi Xue to recite her lessons.

She was also afraid that if Lingna didn't come to find Yixue, Yixue wouldn't take the initiative to find her.

"Okay!" Yi Xue nodded, and Yi Yue finally felt completely relieved.

He yawned wearily, closed the door, and went back to his room.

Yi Yue changed into his pajamas, turned on the air conditioner, and lay down on the bed. He was really tired; he had just recovered from a serious illness and hadn't slept enough. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he drifted off to sleep.

……

In Yixue's room, Yixue was doing her homework diligently. Looking at the time, she realized it was getting late and it was time to supervise Lingna's memorization.

"Hehe, there's still a score to settle with her." Yixue smiled.

In Rena's room, Rena confidently picked up her Chinese textbook and stood up, feeling that she had memorized it perfectly.

"Tch, I really don't want to have that guy carry me."

Rena didn't really want Yixue to recite the text; if she asked Yixue to recite it, she knew she would definitely make things difficult for her.

"It's fine, let her make things difficult for me. It'll be a good test of my memorization. Anyway, I already know it all by heart!"

"Hmph!" Reina snorted and walked out of her room. At the same time, Yixue also came out of her room with a glass of juice.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Carelessness

The two met in the living room.

"What are you doing out here!" Rena said rudely, turning her head away.

Reina was quite displeased when she noticed the juice Yixue was holding.

Because she also had a glass of juice, which she had just finished drinking, and the glass was still in the room.

Although she knew that Yixue was also Yiyue's daughter, and that Yiyue would never favor one over the other, Lingna was still unhappy, hence her bad tone.

"Of course I'm here to listen to you recite." Yixue raised her eyebrows and smiled, ignoring Lingna's unpleasant tone.

"Listen to me recite?" Rena murmured softly, her expression somewhat unpleasant.

"Dad was worried about you, so he specifically asked me to come and keep an eye on you," Yixue said with a smile, sitting on the sofa.

Rena was very unhappy and snorted. Yixue's words made her feel particularly uncomfortable. She thought to herself, "Why is he putting on airs like an older sister? Dad is really something."

"Is it okay to memorize it now?" Yixue asked.

"Of course, you can take the test however you like!" Reina handed the book to Yixue. "The parts you need to memorize are the ancient poems at the end of the lesson and the two short essays at the beginning."

Yixue took the book and flipped through it casually.

Reina assumed Yixue wasn't familiar with the place, and asked with a childlike smugness, "Do you need me to tell you where it is?"

"No need." Yixue flipped through the short passage twice. "Memorize 'On the Love of Lotus'."

"Easy!" Reina chuckled inwardly. She had thought Yixue would draw some particularly difficult poem, but it turned out to be this.

Ailian said that when she was in school, she could recite them fluently and even backwards.

"Of all the flowers of land and water, there are many that are lovely..." Rena recited, her head held high, one sentence after another, without pausing, not reciting it all in one go, but slowly and with feeling.

It's like it's showing off, almost as if it's raising its little head and shaking its head like a pedantic scholar, which is quite amusing.

After reciting it completely once, Reina went to check on Ikko's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Yixue simply nodded with an "Mmm," her expression indifferent, without uttering a single word of praise.

Reina was a little unhappy, feeling that Yixue had no sense at all.

If it were Yi Yue, she would definitely praise her for reciting it well!

Rena ground her teeth.

“Recite ‘The Humble Abode’.” Yi Xue turned a page.

Rena immediately recited: "A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals who dwell there. Water is not sacred for its depth, but for the dragons that inhabit it..."

As Reina recited, she glanced at Yixue. Yixue's eyes were not on the book; it hung to one side, and she seemed indifferent to Reina's progress.

Rena felt a little unhappy, but she continued to memorize.

Halfway through carrying her, Yixue rolled over and lay down on the sofa.

She was humming to herself, holding a book in her hand, her smooth legs gently shaking on the sofa, making it difficult for Rena to concentrate on her recitation.

When she got to "Xi Shu Ziyun Pavilion" and was almost finished reciting the entire text, she finally couldn't help but say, "Were you even listening to me recite it properly?!"

"Yes, you recited it very well. Keep going, you're missing one line." Yi Xue smiled and gently swung her little feet, which were dangling in mid-air above the sofa.

"You call that something?" Rena pouted angrily. "Who lies on the sofa listening to someone recite a text?"

"You carry yours, I'll lie down. It's not like I wasn't listening to you carry it," Yixue said casually.
