“l want to,” Pei Jingzhou said. Yaoyao grinned, but before he could be happy for more than three seconds, he heard his father say, “Even if I want to take your mother and Youyou to Alaska, do you think your mother will come with me?”
Yaoyao shook his head. “No.”
Pei Jingzhou said, “So you know it, too.”
“But…” Yaoyao said obediently,” I can go to Grandpa and Grandma, or
Great-Grandma’s place. I’ll wait for you guys to come back obediently.”
Pei Jingzhou thought for a few seconds. “Then I’ll communicate with your mother.’
Yaoyao nodded. “Oh.”
Pei Jingzhou’s gaze landed on his sleeve. “Let go.”
Yaoyao quickly let go of his father’s sleeve, but just as Pei Jingzhou was about to leave, Yaoyao grabbed his father’s hand again worriedly. “Dad, please.”
Pei Jingzhou only said, “I’ll try my best.”
Yaoyao understood the meaning of trying his best. It means he couldn’t be 100% sure. Yaoyao slowly let go of Pei Jingzhou’s hand. He still felt uneasy. If his mother really did not go to see the beautiful aurora because of him this year, would he be happy?
He wouldn’t be happy.
Dad said that no mother would leave her child to see this beautiful world alone. Mom didn’t want to leave him behind and only take Youyou to see the beautiful aurora. He wouldn’t go, so Mom wouldn’t go either.
But Mom would be unhappy not to see the beautiful aurora. If Mom was unhappy, he wouldn’t be happy either.
This was originally a sure thing, but it quickly became something that made Yaoyao conflicted. In the end, he wavered at the juncture of changing his mind.
At night, Pei Jingzhou was dealing with some work in the study. If he dealt with these in advance, he could go to Alaska in peace. Yaoyao avoided Li Xiwu and Youyou. He sneaked to the door of the study and raised his hand to knock.
Knock, knock.
Pei Jingzhou said, “Come in.”
Yaoyao raised his hands and pressed the doorknob hard. He pushed open the door and entered.
Seeing his father sitting in his office chair with the computer open in front of him, the half-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose reflected the light on the computer screen. Yaoyao did not come in directly. He asked politely, “Can 1 come in?”
Pei Jingzhou looked at the small figure standing at the door. Young brat, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. He didn’t come until he was almost done with his work. He thought he wasn’t coming.
Pei Jingzhou moved the computer in front of him in another direction and said, “You can come in.’
Only then did Yaoyao tiptoe in. He didn’t forget to close the door after entering. He shuffled over in his small slippers and stood outside Pei Jingzhou’s desk. He stood obediently. Pei Jingzhou pretended not to know why his son had come in and asked, “Why aren’t you back in your room to sleep?”
Yaoyao turned his head and pointed at the Hermler clock in the corner. “It’s only nine.”
Of course, Pei Jingzhou knew that it was only nine o’clock, but his son actually said, “it was only nine o’clock”. He deliberately retorted, “Only? Children should sleep early. Otherwise, they won’t grow tall in the future.”
Yaoyao shook his head. “It’s okay. Niom said that I can be as tall as Dad in the future. It’s good enough that I’m as tall as Dad. I don’t need to grow taller anymore.”
Pei Jingzhou:
Yaoyao walked around the desk to Pei Jingzhou’s side. He leaned on the armrest of Pei Jingzhou’s chair with both hands and looked up. “Dad, have you communicated with Niom?”
Pei Jingzhou placed his elbows on the armrest and pressed his fingertips against his head. “I’ve communicated with her. She’ll go.”
Yaoyao was not very happy. He just asked again, “Will Mom really go?”
“Yes,” Pei Jingzhou replied. He looked at the kid’s unhappy expression and asked, “I’ve already communicated with your mother, she will go to Alaska. You don’t have to go. Just wait for us to get home. Why do you still look unhappy?
Yaoyao asked, “Then is Mom happy that I’m not going?”
Pei Jingzhou shook his head. “She’s not happy.”
Yaoyao said, “Then I’m not happy either.”
Pei Jingzhou asked, “What reason?
“Because Mom isn’t happy, so I’m not happy,” Yaoyao said.
Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, “Then what should we do?”
Yaoyao said, “I’ve decided.” This tone was the same as when Pei Jingzhou said, “I’ve decided.” Pei Jingzhou knew what the little guy was going to say next.
After all, it was all within his expectations. The young brat had only been born for a few years. How could he beat him, his father? As Pei Jingzhou had expected, Yaoyao said, “l want to go to Alaska with you.”
Yaoyao expressed this very clearly. The enunciation was also clear.
Pei Jingzhou’s reaction was calm. “You’re going?”
Yaoyao nodded. “Yes.”
Pei Jingzhou removed his hand and looked at his son sideways. “It might be too late.’
Yaoyao’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Aren’t you still here?”
“Yes, we haven’t left yet,” Pei Jingzhou said unhurriedly. “But the tickets 1 booked are only for me, your mother, and Youyou. They’re tomorrow morning, and I don’t intend to change them.”
A huge sense of disappointment wrapped around Yaoyao. He pursed his lips and said in a muffled voice, “Why can’t we change our airline tickets?”
Pei Jingzhou reached out and pinched his son’s face. He said in a benevolent fatherly tone, “Because I’m afraid that you won’t be used to going overseas. If anything happens to you, my wife will scold me first.”
Yaoyao quickly shook his head. “No, I guarantee.”
Pei Jingzhou retracted his hand and said firmly, “This is not something you can guarantee. You can’t control the various discomforts in your body. Actually, it’s good for you to stay at home.”
“But I want to go,” Yaoyao said firmly.
When Pei Jingzhou saw that his son was about to cry, he knew that it was not appropriate to go overboard. He just had to stop when necessary. He sighed, then asked, “Have you really thought it through?”
Yaoyao nodded without hesitation. “I’ve thought about it.”
Pei Jingzhou said, “Alright, since you’re so persistent, I’ll change our plane tickets and add you.”
Yaoyao grinned. The smile on his lips was bright, and his crisp voice said, “Thank you, Dad.” With that, Yaoyao turned around and ran out.
Pei Jingzhou looked at the little guy’s back and smiled. ‘Young brat.”
In the children’s room.
Li Xiwu had just washed Youyou’s face and came out. She carried Youyou to the bed and changed into her pajamas. Yaoyao did not return. She tucked
Youyou in and said, “Go to sleep first. Mommy will call Yaoyao back to sleep.”
Youyou said obediently, “Okay.”
Li Xiwu stood up and was about to go out to find Yaoyao to sleep when she turned around and saw that Yaoyao had returned by himself. Li Xiwu walked towards Yaoyao and squatted down in front of him. “Did you go to look for Daddy?”
Yaoyao nodded. “Yes..”
