Yu asked, "Why did you deliberately hide?"
Dian Dian pouted: "I want them to be unable to find me, to see if they get anxious, and to see if they still love me."
Yu Wen smiled and said, "How could your parents not love you?"
Dian Dian pouted and said, "I don't think I love you."
Yu asked, "Why do you think that?"
Diandian turned her head and greeted Yu, saying, "If they love me, why do they want a little brother? They think I don't know, but I've heard everything. Behind my back, my dad always tells my mom that they want to have another little brother."
Yu Wenhao was taken aback. So that's what it was about. He said:
"Your parents wanting another little brother doesn't mean they don't love you anymore. On the contrary, it's precisely because they love you and worry that you'll be too lonely and have no one to play with that they're thinking of having another little brother for you."
"I don't think so," Dian Dian said. "If that were the case, Uncle, why don't they ask me if I want a little brother? Why do they discuss it behind my back, afraid that I'll find out?"
Yu asked, "Would you like to have a little brother?"
"No, I don't want a little brother," Dot Dot said.
Why?
Dian Dian shouted, "Wang Haochen is a big bad guy!"
This was such a jump in logic! Yu Wenhao was completely confused and asked, "Who is Wang Haochen?"
"My younger brother."
Yu Wenhao was even more confused: "You have a younger brother?"
"Wang Haochen," Diandian said, "my aunt's son."
Yu Wenhao understood, and then asked, "What happened to him?"
"He keeps taking my things, and he even snatched my favorite doll, pulling and pulling so hard that he broke its arms and legs! He... he's a pervert!"
"How did you act like a hooligan?"
"He keeps poking my butt with a pencil," Dian Dian said angrily, puffing out her cheeks.
Yu asked, "You're the older sister, so why didn't you criticize him?"
Dian Dian snorted, even more angry. She said, "Of course I criticized him, but as soon as I criticized him, he ran to Grandma to complain. Grandma only protects him. Everything is wrong of me. She even makes me give in to my brother. Wang Haochen likes to hide behind Grandma and smirk at me."
Yu Wenhao understood. Dian Dian had encountered a grandmother who didn't ask questions and was somewhat biased towards boys. Because of the adults' unfairness, they thought it was just a matter between children and that the children were just being unreasonable. This made Dian Dian feel indignant, and as a result, her dislike for this little brother extended to her dislike for all little brothers.
She felt that if her parents were to have a little brother, it would mean having another little devil to rebel against her, which she considered a huge deal. That's why she thought of disappearing to scare her parents.
After saying this, Dian Dian tilted her head to the side and fell asleep shortly afterward.
As Yu Wenhao drove, he thought about Dian Dian's words. Dian Dian's words touched him. He thought about himself and Cao Fang, who were only focused on having a second child to give Qian Qian a younger brother or sister, but never thought that they should first ask Qian Qian for her opinion.
How could Qianqian possibly know their good intentions? What they wanted to create was not just a younger brother or sister, but an angel, an angel with white wings, and Qianqian's hope for rebirth.
Yu Wenhao thought of it. From a shallow perspective, she could easily imagine that because she was a patient, her parents disliked her, which was why they wanted to have another brother or sister.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenhao was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. This was no small matter, especially for Qianqian. She needed to find a time to talk to Qianqian about it properly. She and Cao Fang should tell Qianqian their thoughts in detail; children always know more than adults think.
When the car reached Tiyuchang Road and was almost at Wulinmen Bus Station, a side road led to the back of the bus station, where a KFC was located.
Yu Wenhao turned the car in, pulled over, and left it running. He put the car in park and pulled the handbrake. He looked at Dian Dian in the passenger seat; she was fast asleep.
Yu Wenhao got off the car and walked into KFC. There weren't many people buying breakfast at this time; there were only seven or eight people ahead of her. Yu Wenhao joined the queue, turned her head to look at the cars parked outside the large glass window, and at Diandian sleeping in one of them.
When it was his turn, Yu Wenhao bought two egg tarts, a cup of soy milk, and a country-style chicken crispy burger.
He took the KFC paper bag, walked back to his car, opened the door, got in, and gently closed the door.
He took the soy milk out of the paper bag, placed it on the cup holder, then folded the opening of the paper bag twice and placed it on top of the storage box in the middle.
Dian Dian was still sleeping soundly. Yu asked, started the car, drove out of the side road, and continued driving along Stadium Road.
When they arrived at the entrance of Meihua Lane, the roadside was filled with cars dropping off children. Yu Wenhao managed to find a gap to stop and checked the time. It was only 8:15, so Dian Dian could sleep a few more minutes.
Yu Wenhao touched the soy milk on the cup holder with his hand, opened the lid to let it cool down, so that he could drink it right away without burning his mouth.
At 8:20, Yu called out, "Dian Dian, Dian Dian, wake up, it's time."
Dian Dian opened her eyes, and Yu Wenhao handed her the KFC paper bag from the storage compartment. Dian Dian said "thank you," opened the bag, sat down and ate the two egg tarts, then lifted the fleece blanket covering her and unbuckled her seatbelt. Yu Wenhao turned around, grabbed the down jacket from the back seat, and handed it to Dian Dian, who put it on.
Yu greeted her and reminded her, "Come on, rub your face with your hands, don't catch a cold."
Diandian obediently rubbed her face with both hands.
The two got out of the car. Yu Wenhao held a soy milk in one hand and a box of Country Chicken Burgers in the other, and closed the car door with her foot. Dian Dian opened the back door, took out her backpack, and slung it over her shoulder.
Yu greeted her and walked her to the entrance of Meihua Alley. He handed the soy milk and the Country Chicken Burger to Dian Dian. Dian Dian held the Country Chicken Burger in one hand and the soy milk in the other. She said, "Goodbye, Uncle," and continued eating as she walked into the alley.
By the time she finished walking through the alley and reached the school gate, she had just finished eating and drinking what she was carrying.
The entire process was executed flawlessly by both Wenhao and Diandian, and the computer calculations were generally accurate to the point of being inaccurate.
Yu Wenhao stood there, watching Dian Dian disappear into the flow of students going to school, before turning around and walking towards his car.
For some reason, every day after dropping off Dian Dian and getting into his car, Yu Wenhao needs to be quiet for a while before he can leave. He has to sit there in a daze for several tens of seconds before starting the car. Sometimes he will wait until the traffic police or school security guards who are maintaining order here come and knock on his car window.
Yu greeted them apologetically, then pressed the accelerator and drove off.
