Zhouzhou nodded vigorously and promised with all his heart, "I will definitely protect my sister!"
After finishing his statement, Zhouzhou stretched out his tiny hand, slowly reaching toward his sister. He carefully touched her cheek but withdrew his hand in a flash, as if he was afraid of hurting her by accident.
Having touched his sister’s little face, Zhouzhou was so thrilled he didn’t know how to express his feelings at that moment.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of welcoming a new life.
Now that Zhouzhou had a sister, he went to kindergarten the next day and started to boast to his good friend Xu Kaiyang.
Talking about how pretty and well-behaved his sister was, Xu Kaiyang, who also had a sister, was not to be outdone. As they talked, they even started to argue a little.
Seeing this, Teacher Li quickly separated the two little friends.
It was only since their first day of kindergarten that these two friends, who had gotten along so well, started arguing about whose sister was prettier and better behaved and stopped talking to each other afterward.
After school, Zhouzhou went to visit his mother and sister in the hospital, where Ye Wanwan had already learned from Teacher Li about the quarrel between Zhouzhou and Xu Kaiyang.
Hearing the reason for their argument, Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.
They really were children, quarrelling over such matters.
However, Ye Wanwan still took the time to explain carefully to Zhouzhou about his sister after he arrived at the hospital.
"Chaochao is your sister, she shares the same parents with you, and the same bloodline, so we all love her very much; Zhouzhou should get used to her."
"But Xu Kaiyang’s sister is his biological sister too, she shares a blood relationship with him. In his eyes, his sister is also the best, which is very normal."
"Just because you love your sister, you can’t expect others to love her too, understand?"
"Because I am Chaochao’s brother, I like Chaochao the most, and Xu Kaiyang, being Xu Yanxi’s brother, likes Xu Yanxi the most?" Zhouzhou was a bit perplexed but seemed to grasp his mother’s words.
"That’s right, that’s what mommy means. So, it’s normal for Xu Kaiyang to like his sister more. You don’t need to make him like Chaochao more. Chaochao is our family’s child. We’re a family, and it is enough for us to care for her and love her."
Ye Wanwan patiently explained to Zhouzhou, helping him fully understand what family really meant.
Zhouzhou nodded, looking as if a lightbulb had turned on in his head, then the little Zhouzhou planted a seed of understanding.
Ye Wanwan stayed in the hospital for two days and returned to Bihai Bay after making sure everything was fine.
Aunt Yang was originally the maternity nurse who took care of Zhouzhou, but because she had grown accustomed to the family, she stayed to continue caring for Zhouzhou.
Now that Chaochao had been born, Shen Yi had hired two more maternity nurses to care for Chaochao, all to ensure that Ye Wan could relax a bit more.
Truth be told, some experiences can only be understood through firsthand experience.
In this lifetime, particularly after Ye Wan became pregnant with Zhouzhou, Shen Yi had always tried to accompany her as much as possible.
Because he was unable to control the timing of the birth, he wasn’t able to be there for the birth itself. Although he knew Ye Wan must have suffered greatly, he didn’t witness the agony of Ye Wan giving birth in the delivery room.
