Chapter 192: Selling Brother for Iceberg (Birthday + Update)

“It’s fine, Second Brother. Da Yi is better now and doesn’t sleepwalk anymore. I brought her here to let her interact more with Panpan. It’s good for both of them.”

Sometimes, psychologists would gather patients with different issues together for wilderness survival training or something similar. By utilizing the complementarity among various conditions, they could achieve pretty good results.

After hearing Xiao Qian’s explanation, Yu Mingyi thought that Dong Yi was also studying psychology.

“Please take care of them, then.”

“No need to be polite. This is our job, right, Da Yi? Da Yi?”

Xiao Qian saw Dong Yi staring blankly at Second Brother as if she had gone silly, and nudged her. What’s wrong with Da Yi?

Xiao Qian called Dong Yi twice before she came back to her senses, her face still looking somewhat red, and her expression not quite right.

“What’s wrong, Da Yi?” Xiao Qian asked.

“Nothing.” Dong Yi collected her thoughts.

Uncle holding the child looked so heartwarming.

It was as if something deep within her had been gently touched.

Yu Mingyi was slightly shorter than Yu Minglang but still around 180cm. A very tough man, carefully holding the small child in his arms, such a contrast brought an unusual emotional response to Dong Yi. She glanced at her uncle and felt something had changed.

She quickly looked away.

“Now let’s start the treatment. Er Zhuzi, you hold the child. Xiao Qian and Dong Yi, you two follow me to record—What are you two looking at?” Professor Liu saw Xiao Qian and Dong Yi staring wide-eyed.

“Professor, you called me Second Brother, what?” Did she just hear something incredible?

“Er Zhuzi, he was a bit dull when he was a child, like a pillar, so everyone called him Er Zhuzi.” Liu Linlin explained.

Yu Mingyi felt a bit helpless, “Auntie Liu, it’s not everyone, you just made it up, right?”

This old lady, who always has a cold face, loves giving people nicknames, and they are all very upsetting.

“If Second Brother is called Er Zhuzi… is Eldest Brother called Da Zhuzi?” Xiao Qian couldn’t associate these names with the children of the Yu Family.

“Da Pang, Er Zhuzi, San Yadan—” Liu Linlin continued, noticing Xiao Qian’s shiny, attentive eyes and stopping suddenly.

Xiao Qian was just about to hear the answer she wanted and eagerly waited for it.

However, Professor Liu just looked at Xiao Qian meaningfully and hooked up the corner of her mouth.

“Let’s get into the state and prepare to start the treatment.”

Dang it! Stirring up people’s curiosity and then keeping silent? How mean!

Xiao Qian felt like there were cat claws scratching in her heart, she was too curious.

What kind of nickname did Yu Minglang have?

This mystery was not solved until the end of this treatment session.

The treatment for the baby focused on parent-child interaction. Since the child was too young, Second Brother had to help him complete many tasks.

Compared to other children, Panpan developed a bit later, seemed less spirited, and was slightly wooden. Second Brother was very patient.

Sometimes, he would repeat a sentence several times, unlike his usual cold demeanor. When the treatment was nearing completion, Panpan accidentally wet his pants, soaking Second Brother.

Realizing he had caused trouble, Panpan first looked at Second Brother’s expression. Only after he found that his father didn’t seem angry did he start crying.

“I’ll change Panpan’s pants, Uncle you go change your clothes.” Dong Yi took the child and skillfully cleaned him up.

Xiao Qian was impressed. This was not at all like a newcomer, but even more adept than herself, who had been a mother before.

“Da Yi, have you taken care of children before?”

“Yes, I often helped look after children when I was back home. There were many children in the family.” Dong Yi grew up at her uncle’s house, but she couldn’t just freeload, so she helped look after the children and did housework.

“How did you manage school—ah, I understand now. Your nearsightedness must be the result of that, right?”

Xiao Qian immediately realized that Dong Yi must have gone to school during the day, helped with housework and looked after the children at night, and then studied under dim light when it was late. She was such a precocious and sensible child.

While they were chatting outside, Yu Mingyi could hear them while changing his clothes. It seemed that Dong Yi had grown up in a rather difficult environment.

Unintentionally, he thought of his ex-wife.

Wang Xiaohong also seemed to come from a family with poor conditions and many children. She often helped look after the children. Second Brother Yu had consulted a psychologist before—but the suggestions the psychologist gave him were not very professional, advising Wang Xiaohong to develop feelings and raise a child as a spiritual sustenance.

However, it seemed that Panpan’s arrival not only did not improve Wang Xiaohong’s condition but also intensified the conflict between Wang Xiaohong and Yu Mingyi, becoming the fuse for the collapse of their marriage.

“Da Yi, taking care of children is so tiring. Do you have any lingering fears from it? For example, if you really dislike children, I won’t bring you along next time.”

Xiao Qian was serious. When she first considered letting Da Yi come, she hadn’t thought of Dong Yi’s past. Generally speaking, if someone had such experiences in their childhood, they might instinctively dislike children when they grew up. If Dong Yi really found children repulsive, Xiao Qian would withdraw her decision to let Dong Yi come, and she would come on her own instead.

Yu Mingyi, who had changed his clothes, already had his hand on the door handle. When he heard Xiao Qian ask if Dong Yi disliked children, his hand paused.

“No, I really like children.” Dong Yi changed Panpan’s pants. The child kicked her face, but she didn’t get angry. Instead, she tickled the bottom of Panpan’s foot, making him giggle.

Yu Mingyi had hardly ever heard his son laugh. When he heard his son laugh, he felt relieved and opened the door to leave.

“Auntie Liu, stay for a meal.”

“No need, I have other patients. I’ll drive myself there. You treat these two kids and then send them back to their dorm.”

After saying this, Professor Liu left.

Dong Yi didn’t want Yu Mingyi to spend more money and tried to drag Xiao Qian out, saying she still had things to do at school. Yu Mingyi wanted to send them off, but Panpan yawned as if he was sleepy.

“I’ll call a car for you.” Yu Mingyi couldn’t leave, as Mother Yu was out shopping and he had to take care of his son, so he had to call a car.

“No need to bother Uncle. We’ll just walk out.” Dong Yi tried to open the door, but Xiao Qian stopped her.

“Second Brother, what nickname did Professor Liu give Yu Minglang when he was young?”

Second Brother Yu, being cold and aloof, clearly didn’t like gossip.

“Da Yi, let’s be true to ourselves and just walk out. No need to bother your uncle.” Xiao Qian cunningly threatened, and Second Brother Yu finally spoke.

“Yu Gangdan..”
