When they got back, Mom said she had forgotten to buy it.
Yi Yue was a sensible child. Although she was disappointed, she didn't blame her mother.
He went out to play and quickly forgot about it. When he came back and went upstairs, he found his mother lying on the sofa watching TV, holding a bamboo skewer in her hand and chewing on something.
"What are you eating?" Yi Yue asked.
Mom said, "Chicken leg."
"I want some too!" Izuki pleaded.
Mom opened her mouth, revealing a chicken leg chewed into minced meat inside, and laughed, "I'll spit it out and give it to you to eat."
Yi Yue froze on the spot.
"Hehe." Mom laughed, finding it amusing.
This incident cast an incredibly painful shadow over Yi Yue's childhood.
I didn't receive much maternal love as a child, and I didn't even receive paternal love. My father was busy with work and didn't have time to take care of his own affairs.
It can be said that Yi Yue did not receive any love from her family when she was a child, and even became somewhat withdrawn and twisted.
Fortunately, I didn't go down the wrong path later, and my personality gradually corrected itself.
But for Yiyue, this is still a void that cannot be filled.
Therefore, Yi Yue didn't want her daughter to experience what she herself had. She wanted to pour all her heart and soul into her daughter, fearing that she might not be happy or have a good life. She tried every possible way to make up for it.
"Is that all?" the cashier asked, pulling Yi Yue back to reality.
"Okay, that's all." Yi Yue came back to her senses and nodded.
"What would you like to drink?" the cashier continued.
Rena said, "I want a Coke!"
"What kind of cola would you like?" Yi Yue frowned and said to the cashier, "Two cups of cucumber juice, with honey."
The cashier nodded and wrote it down.
"Hey, why?" Rena said unhappily.
"You eat dry food every day, and tonight you're having barbecue. Aren't you afraid of getting a sore throat if you don't drink some cucumber juice?" Yi Yue said helplessly. Although he doted on his daughter, he didn't want to spoil her and raise her with bad habits.
"Yixue, what do you want?" Yiyue turned to ask Yixue.
Yixue smiled and said, "I'd like a mango milk tea."
The cashier made a note and asked, "Is that all?"
"Okay, that's all." Yi Yue nodded and took the receipt from the cashier. The barbecue was delivered according to the number on the receipt.
"Hey, why can Yixue drink milk tea but I can't drink soda!" Rena cried out unhappily, "Daddy's being unfair!"
Yi Yue said helplessly, "Yi Xue doesn't eat dry food every day like you. You ate so much barbecue tonight, if you don't drink some cucumber juice or herbal tea, you'll probably get pimples tomorrow from all the heat."
"Hmph!" Rena turned her head away unhappily, feeling that Itsuki was being biased.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yixue grabbed Yiyue's arm and gave Lingna a smug smile.
"Ugh..." Rena was furious, thinking to herself, "What do you have to be so proud of!" She also felt a sense of crisis, as if her father had been taken away from her.
Chapter Fifty-Three Questions
The barbecue was served, but unlike the dark, burnt barbecue from the street stalls, the barbecue from this shop was bright in color and looked very hygienic. Sprinkled with chili and cumin, it smelled delicious and made my mouth water.
"Mmm, it smells so good!"
Rena's mouth watered as she ate, devouring sausages and meatballs in quick succession, her mouth smeared with sauce.
"Eat slowly," Izuki said gently, wiping the sauce from Rena's lips with a tissue.
"It's really delicious, Dad, you should eat too." Rena said, her mouth full of barbecue, her words muffled.
Yi Yue nodded and smiled, "You eat it."
Yixue, standing to the side, was also eating her barbecue in small bites. She ate very politely, holding the ends of each bamboo skewer in her left and right hands, taking small bites of the meat from the middle of the skewers.
Yi Xue raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile on her face: "Yes, it is indeed very delicious."
"Then you should eat more," Yi Yue smiled. He loved watching his daughters eat so adorably. Seeing them enjoy their food made him happy too.
"Dad, can we eat the chicken legs?" Rena asked, still wanting more, her eyes fixed on the two skewers of chicken legs on Izuki's plate.
"Okay, eat up." Yi Yue nodded. He wasn't eating it for himself in the first place. Otherwise, why would he have ordered two skewers instead of one? He placed the other skewer on Yi Xue's barbecue plate and said, "Yi Xue, eat up."
"Mmm." Yixue smiled and nodded, taking small bites of the chicken leg. A strange feeling lingered in her heart. Her father clearly didn't like barbecue, so why would he suddenly order two skewers of chicken legs for them?
Yixue really couldn't understand it.
"Phew, it's so spicy!" Rena hissed, fanning her mouth with her hand and quickly taking a big gulp of cucumber juice.
"Gudong Gudong..."
Rena quickly finished a large glass of cucumber juice with the barbecue, but she still felt very thirsty.
"Dad, can we order another drink?" Rena asked, her tongue feeling a little numb from the spiciness.
"No need, I haven't drunk any cucumber juice. You can have it." Izuki moved her cucumber juice in front of Reina.
He barely ate any of the hot and sour noodles, and didn't drink a drop of cucumber juice.
Rena didn't stand on ceremony at all and gulped down half a cup.
"Phew, I'm alive again," Rena said contentedly, leaning back in her chair and patting her little belly.
"I'll make you some herbal tea tomorrow. Eating so much barbecue can easily cause you to get a sore throat," Izuki said, looking at the several bamboo skewers on Reina's plate.
"Mmm." Rena squinted her eyes, looking blissfully content, and even let out a burp.
"Really." Yi Yue shook her head with amusement. Looking at Yi Xue to the side, she saw that Yi Xue had almost finished eating, with only two skewers of barbecue left on her plate.
"Are you full? Would you like to order some more?" Yi Yue asked with concern.
"No need, I can't eat anymore." Yixue shook her head. She didn't like to eat too much at night; a little bit was enough.
"Let's rest for a while and then get ready to go," Yi Yue said.
Rena suddenly blushed slightly and whispered, "Dad, I need to pee. I need to go to the toilet."
"Then hurry up and go, the toilet is in the back," Yi Yue said.
Rena immediately ran to the toilet at the back door.
Reina is gone, and Yixue has some questions for Yiyue.
"Dad." Yixue moved her chair next to Yiyue, getting very close.
"Hmm?" Yi Yue was puzzled, feeling a little uncomfortable with Yi Xue being so close. Her body stiffened, but she didn't move.
"I have a question for you," Yixue asked, looking down.
"What's the problem?"
"Didn't Dad not like barbecue? Why did he order two chicken legs?" Yixue looked up at Yiyue.
Yi Yue scratched her cheek, somewhat embarrassed, and glanced to the side: "You mean this? I was just thinking about something, so I couldn't help but order it."
"What is it?" Yi Xue slowly scooted closer, almost sitting on Yi Yue's body.
"It's nothing serious, just something that reminded me of when I was little." Yi Yue felt Yi Xue's curious gaze and said truthfully, "When I was little, I asked my mom to buy me chicken legs, but when she came back, she said she forgot to buy them. When I went upstairs, I found her secretly eating chicken legs. When I asked her if she had any left, she said she would spit them out and give them to me."
Yi Yue forced a smile and said that Yi Xue could sense that this incident had caused Yi Yue a severe traumatic experience during her childhood.
"I see," Yixue said softly.
Yi Yue lowered her head and forced a smile.
"And what about Grandma?" Yi Xue called Yi Yue's mother "Grandma." Since she was a child, she had never heard Yi Yue mention her grandmother, let alone seen her.
“She…she’s already passed away.” Yi Yue’s expression was somewhat strange.
Yi Xue slowly sat on Yi Yue's lap, hugged him, and as if to comfort him, whispered in his ear, "Dad, don't be sad, it's my fault. But you still have me."
"Mm." Yi Yue nodded gently, feeling a little touched. Suddenly, she noticed that the guests at the other tables were looking at her with subtle glances. She immediately realized what was happening, her face flushed slightly, and she coughed to remind Yi Xue to get off him.
Yixue pretended not to hear and held Yiyue tightly.
"Dad can't live without me..." Yixue murmured softly.
"Um, Yixue." Yiyue felt extremely awkward letting Yixue hug her, scratched her cheek and whispered, trying to remind her to get down.
Yixue ignored him, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. He couldn't very well push her away.
"Dad, let's go home." Reina, having finished using the restroom, came in through the back door and saw Yixue tightly hugging Yiyue. The smile on her face slowly disappeared.
"Eh...Eh..." Rena blinked in surprise.
Yixue snapped out of her daze and heard Reina's voice behind her.
"Hehe." Yixue turned around, curled the corners of her mouth, smiled at Lingnai, still holding Yiyue in her arms, her eyes smug with a hint of provocation and disdain.
"Ugh!" Rena bit her lip, furious. She ran up to Yixue in a few quick steps and grabbed her sleeve. "Come down here right now!"
Yixue smiled faintly, completely ignoring Lingna.
"Yixue, hurry up and come down, it's about time we left," Yiyue said awkwardly, noticing that everyone was glancing in his direction.
"Mmm." Yi Xue smiled and nodded, getting off Yi Yue. She listened to Yi Yue and was very obedient.
"Why don't we go first?" Yi Yue felt embarrassed by the attention she was receiving.
"Mmm." Yixue obediently took Yiyue's hand.
Rena gave an unhappy snort and followed behind.
On the way home, Rena didn't walk in front as usual, but walked behind, watching Izuki and Izuki.
Reina stared intently at their clasped hands, wishing her eyes would shoot fire and burn Yixue's hands.
"Ugh, Daddy should be holding my hand, shouldn't he?" Rena thought angrily to herself.
