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

Hearing this, Rena paused slightly, but then, seeing the smile on Itsuki's face, she hit him even harder: "I'm going to smash you, you bad dad!"

"No, no, no, I was wrong."

Izuki's playful antics with Reina were observed by Yixue. Yixue's face darkened, and she seemed to emanate a black aura.

As if sensing something, Yi Yue turned her head towards Yi Xue.

Yi Xue's dark aura dissipated instantly, revealing a gentle smile, as if she was genuinely happy for Yi Yue and Ling Nai's playful antics.

Yi Yue felt a sense of relief, thinking to himself that Yi Xue was really sensible. One Ling Nai was enough to give him trouble, but thankfully Yi Xue wasn't as immature as Ling Nai, otherwise he would have a huge headache.

Yixue maintained her smile: "Did you hear what Daddy said? If you don't eat vegetables and only eat meat, you'll turn into a big fat pig sooner or later, and then—Daddy won't like you anymore!" Yixue said the last few sentences through gritted teeth, emphasizing her words.

Izuki didn't notice anything strange, but Reina understood the underlying meaning in Yixue's words. Remembering what had happened before, she blushed slightly, and decided to settle both old and new scores at once.

"Daddy, I've turned into a little fat pig. Don't you really like me?" Rena looked at Izuki pitifully.

"How could that be? I was just joking," Yi Yue said, glancing helplessly at Yi Xue.

Yixue is really something.

Reina, carried away by her triumph, raised an eyebrow at Yixue.

"Hehe." Yixue's expression remained unchanged, her smile lasting. "Here, let me get you some food!" She placed a few pieces of ginger in Lingnai's bowl. "Don't be picky!"

"Hmm..." Reina gripped her chopsticks tightly, not to be outdone, and also picked up a few pieces of red chili peppers for Yixue: "Sister should set an example, you should eat more too!"

"Hehe, eating more vegetables is good for your health!" Yixue quickly picked up a piece of garlic for her.

"Sister, you should eat too!" Rena said through gritted teeth.

The two worked quickly, serving each other food. Gradually, the rice in their bowls piled up into a small mountain.

Finally, as if exhausted, she was slightly out of breath, but her hands were still slowly picking food for the other person.

"you eat!"

"You eat too!"

The atmosphere was tense, with neither side willing to back down as they glared at each other.

Unable to bear it any longer, Yi Yue felt it necessary to assert her fatherly authority, so she put on a stern face and said, "Eat your food quickly, stop pushing it back and forth like this. If you keep doing this, Daddy will get angry!"

The two sisters simultaneously turned to look at Yi Yue: "Does Daddy want some too?!"

"Ah..." Yi Yue's momentum immediately softened. Her so-called fatherly authority was useless. She said timidly, "Well... it's so late now. I still have homework to do later. If I drag it out any longer, I'll stay up late and won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"I'll let you off the hook for Dad's sake!" the two thought to themselves, picking up their chopsticks and glaring at each other defiantly, "Hmph—" before turning their heads to the side. They were indeed sisters, their actions were so similar.

Chapter Five: Tenderness (Please vote!)

"Rena, after you finish eating, rest for a while and then hurry back to your room to do your homework," Itsuki said to Rena after they finished eating.

Last time, without being reminded, Rena watched TV in the living room for almost two hours. Izuki thought she had finished her homework, but it turns out she hadn't done any at all.

Naturally, she was severely criticized by the teacher the next day, and Yi Yue was also scolded by the teacher on the phone for more than half an hour.

Rena clearly didn't take Izuki's words to heart, casually saying, "Okay," waving her hand and walking to the living room.

Helpless, Yi Yue stood up and cleared away the dishes and trash on the table.

Yixue, who was standing to the side, asked, "Dad, do you want me to help you?"

"No need, you go back to your room and do your homework. While you're at it, please keep an eye on Rena for me."

"Okay." Yixue nodded and went back to her room. She was in her final year of junior high school, and the academic pressure was quite heavy.

After washing the dirty dishes and wiping the table clean, Yi Yue went to the living room. The sofa was a mess, with cushions and pillows scattered everywhere. The air conditioner in the living room was still on, blowing cold air.

"This girl." Izuki sighed and finished tidying everything up. No matter how many times she told Rena, she was still the same.

Fortunately, she listened and obediently went back to her room to do her homework.

I glanced at the clock in the living room; it was 7:30.

The two sisters have been doing their homework in their room for a while now.

Yi Yue took a plate and sat on the sofa, peeling an apple in front of the trash can. They must be tired from doing their homework, so she peeled some fruit for them.

Yi Yue peeled them quickly and skillfully, without even breaking the skin. She quickly peeled two apples and two pears, then cut them into small pieces and stuck two toothpicks on top.

"Yixue doesn't need to eat fruit, right? She's about to take the high school entrance exam, and she's under a lot of pressure. I'm worried she won't sleep well at night, so I'll make her a cup of warm milk so she can sleep better."

Izuki thought to herself, "Rena only knows how to eat junk food all day long, and she doesn't eat any fruits or vegetables. This time, I have to make sure she eats some fruit to supplement her vitamins."

I got up and went to the kitchen, taking out a carton of milk from the cupboard. Worried that the water might be too hot or too cold, I poured it into a bowl first to check the temperature before pouring it into Yixue's cup, making a warm glass of milk.

I took the milk to Yixue's room, opened the door, and found Yixue under the lamp, silently reciting English words, occasionally closing her book and spelling letters.

Nearby, a fan was blowing air, making the bound final exam papers rustle.

Yi Yue walked over to Yi Xue, placed the milk next to her, and said softly, "Have a glass of milk, go to bed early, don't study too late."

Yixue stopped reciting and smiled, "Mm."

Yi Yue gently patted Yi Xue's head and said affectionately, "Don't feel pressured. Keep a calm mind, don't be too nervous, just do your best. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

Yi Xue squinted her eyes, as if enjoying Yi Yue's caress.

"I won't disturb your studying, Dad will go out first." Yi Yue went out and gently closed the door without making a sound, so as not to disturb Yi Xue's studying.

Yi Xue's smile slowly faded. Yi Yue was a really good father; he was very gentle.

Unlike other parents, he didn't just offer empty words. Even if she really did poorly on the test, as long as she had tried her best, Yi Yue wouldn't say anything. She would just gently pat her head and say some encouraging words, telling her there would be other opportunities next time.

Yixue seemed to be thinking of something from her childhood, and her hand slowly clenched: "You only get one chance, Dad."

Even if Yi Yue didn't say anything, Yi Xue wouldn't forgive herself. She wanted Yi Yue to see her differently! She had to be better than her younger sister.

……

Izuki carried the fruit into Reina's room, and shivered as soon as she entered.

"Phew, it's so cold." Izuki glanced at the air conditioner blowing cold air above her head, wondering what temperature Reina had set it to, it was so cold. It's only May, it shouldn't be hot enough to need air conditioning.

Rena had her back to Izuki, seemingly engrossed in her studies and unaware that Izuki had entered.

Feeling relieved, Izuki quietly walked over to Rena's side, only to find that Rena had placed a comic book on her textbook and was engrossed in reading it, unaware that Izuki had already approached her.

Izuki's smile slowly faded, replaced by a hint of anger. She didn't say anything, simply standing silently beside Rena, waiting to see when Rena would notice her.

Rena was engrossed in reading, her eyes fixed on the comic book. She opened the drawer with her little hands and rummaged inside, finding it full of small snacks like potato chips, candies, and cookies.

He grabbed a bag of chocolates, tore it open, and put it in his mouth with practiced ease; it seems he often eats while reading comics.

After finishing the leftover wrappers, Rena finally looked up and prepared to bring over the trash can so she could throw away her garbage.

Looking up, he saw Yi Yue holding a fruit stand and looking at him with a somewhat angry expression.

Rena shuddered, quickly realizing what was happening and hiding the comic book behind her back. She nervously turned her head away, not daring to meet Izuki's gaze: "Dad... Dad, when did you come in? Why didn't you knock before coming in?"

Yi Yue was a little angry. Without saying anything, she held out her hand, gesturing for her to hand over the comic book.

Rena didn't want to give it to him, so Itsuki just watched her quietly. Finally, Rena couldn't bear the pressure anymore, pouted, and handed over the comic.

The manga is the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump.

Yi Yue flipped to the back and looked at the price: 25 yuan.

"You use the allowance I give you to buy this kind of thing?!" Yi Yue was angry.

Rena lowered her head and muttered softly, "Didn't Dad say we could buy whatever we wanted?"

"Stop being so cheeky!" Yi Yue said angrily. "Dad doesn't object to you reading comics, but you shouldn't read them while doing your homework. Judging from the way you are, you must have been reading a lot of comics during class!"

"No, just this once," Rena said guiltily.

"Huh?" Yiyue stared at Reina closely.

Rena hesitated, "Sometimes when I see something exciting, occasionally..."

"Occasionally?" Yi Yue was somewhat skeptical.

"Really, really!" Rena said dejectedly. "I do listen attentively in class sometimes!" She then lowered her head, realizing that her father would definitely not give her any more allowance this month.

Seeing Rena's dejected look, Itsuki sighed, raised his hand, and slapped Rena's forehead hard.

Reina closed her eyes in fright, thinking her father was really angry and going to scold her. But the pain she expected didn't come. When she opened her eyes, Izuki gently stroked her head and said softly, "Promise Daddy you won't watch it in class anymore, okay?"

"I give you pocket money because I'm worried you might get hungry at school or something might suddenly happen."

“I wouldn’t object if you used the money to buy comics, but it really hurts me that you’re reading them in class and it’s affecting your studies.”

At this point, Yi Yue's face suddenly flushed slightly, and she coughed a few times to the side.

"Is Dad alright?" Reina asked anxiously, gently patting Izuki's back to help him recover.

Izuki shook her head to indicate that she was fine, a faint blush appearing on her fair face, and returned the comic to Rena.

Rena was somewhat surprised; she thought the comic would be confiscated by Itsuki.

"Finish your homework first, then you can read it," Yi Yue said with a smile. "Dad's been through this before, he knows what you're thinking. You'll definitely feel itchy if it gets confiscated halfway through. Don't do this again. If I hear from the teacher that you're reading comics in class, don't even think about getting any pocket money from me anymore. Okay, have some fruit."

Izuki placed the fruit platter in front of Rena.

Rena looked at Izuki's gentle smile, blushed slightly, and felt very sad, as if she had let Izuki down.

"I won't read comics during class or while doing homework anymore," Rena whispered.

Reina's voice was very soft. Itsuki was taken aback at first, but after hearing what Reina said, Itsuki slowly smiled with relief: "Yes, Dad believes in you."

Chapter Six: Uncontrollable Emotions

"Eat some fruit." Yi Yue pointed to the fruit on the table.

"what--"

Rena closed her eyes, opened her mouth, and gestured for Itsuki to feed her.

"Honestly, you still need Daddy to feed you." Yi Yue sighed, picked up a piece of pear with a toothpick, and put it in Rena's mouth.
