"Here it comes..."
After a burst of shouting, Aunt Ke's voice finally came from upstairs.
However, within a few seconds, there was a loud "bang!" from above that even startled Cen Bao, who was eating in the dining room.
"Is he smashing things again?"
"Huh?"
Yin Hehe, standing to the side, was quite puzzled by her son's remark.
But Cen Bao didn't comment further and, like a little adult, he simply shrugged and continued eating contentedly.
"Young Master Xi Bao, if you don't want to go to school, then Nanny Ke will go down and tell your mom, you shouldn't—"
"Clang!!"
She hadn't finished her sentence.
An even more frightening crash came from upstairs.
Yin Hehe heard it, couldn't resist, and immediately walked out of the dining room, looking up.
Oh my God!
She saw a large vase tumbling down the stairs, and at the top stood a little boy who looked like a demon.
"Clang—!"
The vase finally reached the bottom of the stairs.
In an instant, everyone in the living room was dumbfounded as they saw the valuable collectible shatter into pieces.
"Sheng Xi, if I don't beat you to death today, I'm not your mother!"
Lin Shuang finally exploded.
Unable to contain her anger, she glared at the child upstairs and charged up with a baseball bat picked up from nearby.
Yin Hehe opened her mouth.
But in the end, considering her own situation, she chose silence.
However, upon seeing this, Aunt Ke upstairs immediately came down to protect the child at the stairway.
"Miss Lin, please calm down. Young Master Xi Bao didn't mean to do it; he just doesn't want to go to school."
"He goes crazy every time he doesn't want to go to school? I think he has a mental problem; we might as well send him to a psychiatric hospital!"
Never had she anticipated that this woman would spew out such ugly words as she charged upstairs.
Yin Hehe was incredulous.
Was she really planning to send her own child to a psychiatric hospital? Was this woman insane?
She could no longer stand by and watch.
At that moment, the woman had already reached the child.
In an instant, Yin Hehe watched speechlessly as she truly raised the bat in her hand and ruthlessly swung it down at the child!
"Miss Lin!"
"Ah—"
The cries of alarm in the living room, along with that scream, were almost simultaneous.
And Yin Hehe also rushed upstairs quickly.
Fortunately, when she reached the stairway, she saw that the bat had struck not the child, but Nanny Ke, who had been protecting him.
"Aunt Ke, are you alright?"
Yin Hehe breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Ke: "..."
Before she could say anything, Lin Shuang, frustrated at hitting the wrong person, lifted the bat again in a fit of anger.
"You old fool, do you like getting hit that much? Then I'll oblige you!"
"You dare!"
Unexpectedly, just as the woman was about to strike, the child who had been hiding behind Aunt Ke suddenly stepped forward.
Yin Hehe froze.
And Lin Shuang's expression changed as she immediately focused on the child.
Sheng Xi, her son.
Indeed, from the facial features, the child resembled Cen Bao; after all, they were both borne of the same father.
But his demeanor was completely different from Cen Bao's; Cen Bao was sunny and cheerful, while he was always shrouded in a gloomy and oppressing aura.
A four-year-old child, his gaze was enough to make one's skin crawl.
"You dare threaten me?"
Lin Shuang tightened her grip on the bat in her hand, her eyes fierce, as if she wanted to dominate the child with her fierce demeanor.
Unfortunately, the child's eyes, which starkly resembled his father's, were filled only with indifference.
Yin Hehe: "..."
Her heart suddenly ached, and she stood up.
"Miss Lin, otherwise, let me talk to him. I've worked as a caregiver abroad and have some experience in communicating with children,"
she pleaded in front of this woman.
Teaching her how to care for a child was not possible; the woman wouldn't listen, and Yin Hehe didn't want to be thrown out again either.
Fortunately, after seeing her humble plea, the woman agreed.
"If you can't persuade him, you can leave the same way you came in!"
"..."
She had still thrown herself into the fire.
About ten minutes later, with Auntie Ke's help, Yin Hehe entered the child's room.
"Xi Bao, can Auntie see where you are hurt?"
Yin Hehe, holding a medicine box, stood in front of the child and called out gently.
However, the child didn't even look at her.
He sat there indifferently, his little hands operating on the iPad screen in front of him, not even lifting an eyelid.
He was playing a game.
Yin Hehe realized this and immediately put down the medicine box tactfully.
"So Xi Bao likes to play this, huh? Auntie can play too. Shall we have a challenge?"
"?"
"Then, let's start."
Yin Hehe didn't care that much; she took out her own phone and found the same game.
Luckily, Cen Bao also played this, she had seen a lot of it and knew a little bit.
Yin Hehe logged in successfully using her son's account.
Diamond level?
The little guy who was playing saw this suddenly popping up account and finally, those indifferent little eyes flickered with a hint of surprise and slowly turned to look at the aunt beside him.
Yin Hehe didn't realize what had happened, but seeing that this aloof little guy was finally willing to look at her,
she was quite flattered.
"Well, we'll start playing then."
She began to play, and the sweat in her palms came out more than when she was in a courtroom fighting a lawsuit.
Five minutes later.
"Firstblood!"
Yin Hehe was dumbfounded.
She looked up and saw the little guy beside her giving her a look as if she was a monster. She could only smile awkwardly.
"Heh, sorry, my bad."
Then, she immediately respawned.
But the second round was even worse, she got finished in three minutes.
"duoblekill"
"..."
"triplekill"
"..."
Yin Hehe was sweating profusely, and just as she was about to respawn again, she suddenly felt two unbearable gazes at her side.
"Are you really boring?"
"Ah?"
"Get out!"
Without any hesitation, the little guy whose patience had run out, closed the tablet with a "snap" and directly told her to leave.
Yin Hehe froze there.
After a moment, she accepted reality and put her phone back in her pocket.
"Xi Bao, I'm very sorry, Auntie really can't play this. I just want to tell you that if you don't want to go to school, Auntie will help you. Auntie has a little secret to tell you, Auntie is actually a lawyer,"
Yin Hehe said, sitting beside the little guy, holding her head, revealing a secret of her own in hopes of gaining his trust.
The little guy's tapping hands stopped.
After a while, he turned his head, his delicate and pretty eyes widening slightly.
Yin Hehe smiled.
"Everything Auntie said is true, but you can't tell anyone, otherwise Auntie won't be able to stay here and won't be able to help you,"
she added seriously, earnestly cautioning the child.
Of course, she didn't suspect he would betray her.
A child who could stand up to protect another in that situation, how could he be a bad kid?
