Suddenly, the little boy walked over holding his toy car, mumbling, “Mommy, the screw on my toy car fell off. Can you fix it for me?”
Ning Yu deliberately asked, “Why not ask Daddy to fix it? Daddy knows how to fix toy cars.”
The little boy immediately buried himself in his mother’s arms. “Daddy is too scary. I’m afraid of him. Daddy is bad!”
A two-year-old boy saying he’s afraid of his father and calling him scary and bad—what does that mean?
It means the father is usually impatient with the child. It means the child has tried asking his father for help before, but because Daddy is too scary, he eventually only goes to Mommy.
The audience was once again clutching their chests in disbelief!
“Usually, fixing toys is something you’d ask Dad for—not that Mom can’t do it. I thought it was strange earlier, but now I understand. Turns out Dad not only does nothing but is also scary to the child.”
The little boy’s words made Xiao Wang’s face darken. He was displeased, and Ning Yu’s aggressive questioning only made him angrier.
But remembering they were still filming a show, he had to suppress his emotions.
He tried to change the subject. “So, do you have any suggestions to help us regain the spark we had before?”
“Sorry, please wait a moment. We have something to say to Xiao Zhang.”
When Ning Yu heard Xiao Wang say this, she immediately noticed the change in Xiao Zhang’s expression and called for a pause.
The three men were left stunned as Ning Yu and Su Yuan led Xiao Zhang into a room.
Outside
Xue Mingyuan was confused. “What are they doing?”
Shi Yu shook his head. “No idea. Maybe they have something to talk about that we men shouldn’t hear.”
The four men sat motionless on the sofa. Only Xu Yize paid a little attention to his posture, sitting upright, while the other three sprawled lazily as if they had no bones.
A moment later, Xiao Wang suddenly remembered something and patted his phone with a mischievous grin.
“Hey, guys, want to play a game?”
“What game? Honor of Kings or PUBG?”
“Honor of Kings!”
Xue Mingyuan and Shi Yu immediately agreed. Xu Yize, at least, had some sense and knew better than to join in. He hurriedly waved his hands apologetically. “You guys go ahead. I don’t play games.”
As if he didn’t! Just last night, he was happily playing duo matches with Lin Momo! But they were filming a show, after all.
Even if he had to pretend, he had to do it properly. What kind of decent person would play games at a time like this?
No wonder none of them were popular. They were all so foolish.
Before long, the sound of gaming could be heard from the sofa. Xu Yize wanted to distance himself from these people and shifted a little farther away.

“Playing games? Seriously? Your wife is dealing with something, and you’re not even taking care of the kids?”
“Wow, they’re actually playing games now. Even though Xu Yize isn’t exactly a saint, at least he’s not as disgusting as them. Couldn’t they at least check on the kids? One is three years old, and the other isn’t even two yet. I’m speechless.”
“What’s the point of dragging Xu Yize into this? Our brother is the best. He never plays games.”
Inside the Room
The four women sat together as Ning Yu began her inquiry.”I’m more interested in hearing your thoughts on this matter. Your perspective is very important.”
This matter naturally referred to her husband wanting her to become more beautiful.
Xiao Zhang smiled bitterly, “What thoughts could I have? I just feel quite sad. He still looks down on me. The fantasies before marriage were so beautiful, but it’s only been a few years.”
Su Yuan sighed. Marrying the wrong person is truly terrifying.
Ning Yu patted her shoulder to comfort her, “Don’t worry about what he thinks. I understand your difficulties. At this age, children are the most mischievous. If you’re not careful, they’ll go cause trouble. And the past two years must have been the hardest to manage. I can’t even imagine how you managed to eat while taking care of two children alone at home.”
After saying this, Ning Yu frowned deeply.
When children are so young, you can hardly let go of them no matter what you’re doing. They cry and call for you constantly, which is utterly frustrating.
Ning Yu’s words resonated with countless female viewers.
Bullet comments:
“That’s right, children are especially hard to manage. If you’re not careful, they’ll go cause trouble on their own. They’re young but full of mischief, and if they suddenly go quiet, they’re definitely up to no good.”
“I completely agree. Sigh, I don’t even know how to imagine it. Two years ago, Xiao Zhang had to manage both a baby and a toddler. She probably didn’t have a single proper meal.”
“What’s the difference between this kind of marriage and having a dead husband! It makes me angry just thinking about those men playing games outside.”
Outside, the sounds of gaming continued incessantly—pentakills and MVPs—as the three men grinned from ear to ear.
One camera shot happened to focus on the two children.
The older sister, Yuan Yuan, was doing her homework nearby, completely absorbed.
The younger brother was playing with his toys intently when suddenly, he looked up and called out in a childish voice, “Daddy, I’m thirsty.”
Several seconds passed, but no one paid him any attention.
The younger brother scratched his head, stared at the cup on the table, and toddled over on his short little legs.
He raised his small hands, trying to grab the glass on the table to drink some water, but in a moment of carelessness, he lost his grip. The cup fell to the floor with a crisp shattering sound, completely interrupting the gaming-filled living room.
The little boy was still young and hadn’t started school yet. Faced with this situation, he didn’t know what to do and burst into tears with a loud wail.
Yuan Yuan and Xu Yize were the first to react. One stood up from the sofa, and the other put down the homework she was writing, both rushing over to comfort him.
As the child’s biological father, Xiao Wang impatiently looked up and yelled at his son, “What are you crying for? Sit there and play with your toys properly. You had to come over and cause trouble, breaking the cup again.”
Yuan Yuan retorted indignantly, “He was thirsty and wanted water! It wasn’t on purpose!”
Hearing the commotion outside, Ning Yu and the others quickly came out. What they saw was the younger brother covering his face and crying.
Meanwhile, the men on the sofa were huddled together, and the continuous sounds of gaming only fueled their anger further.
Seeing his mother arrive, the younger brother ran straight into her arms, still crying. The older sister stood in place, nervously fidgeting with her fingers. She glanced at her mother and, overwhelmed with feeling wronged, also began to shed tears.
Seeing everyone had gathered, Xu Yize awkwardly explained, “The younger brother wanted water just now and accidentally broke the cup.”
The younger brother clung to his mother, crying uncontrollably. Ning Yu glanced at the men on the sofa and asked, “Then why is he crying?”Yuan Yuan sobbed, “Little brother broke the cup. Dad said he was causing trouble, but he was just thirsty and didn’t mean to.”
“You have time to play games but no time to watch the kids. With two eyes wide open just for decoration, you can’t even see the child coming to pour water. When problems arise, all you know is to yell and scream. I think you’re really like a little bee touching an electric wire.”
What the bee.
