Yu Dong's lips curled up, sure enough this brat jumped the gun without even listening to what the other person had to say.
She poked Yu Mai's forehead and chided him lightly. "You stupid brat. You didn't even listen to what Sister Ruru had to say and came running here. Have you forgotten? A few days ago I asked you to sleep with me because you were scared of the scary story that Sister Ruru told you. Do you remember what you said back then?"
Yu Mai frowned his memory wasn't good and even though Yu Dong was slowly healing the damage that he suffered because of his high fever. It would take some time for it to be completely healed.
Even though the incident that Yu Dong was talking about happened a few days ago; he couldn't remember it. "What? What did I say?"
Yu Dong smirked, her lips curling in amusement. She tickled Yu Mai as she teased. "You said 'Men and women should keep a distance after the age of seven and I am seven years old. So I cannot sleep with you sister.' then you went to sleep in your Brother Shen's room."
Yu Mai paused as someone had just electrocuted him. He stiffly turned around to look at his three brothers-in-law who nodded their heads in sync. Even though the three wanted to help Yu Mai who had jumped down the pit on his own.
They couldn't lie to save him, it would only make Yu Mai develop a bad habit of running around like a tyrant.
Yu Mai pouted his lips. His brothers-in-law were so fierce, they didn't have to sell him out like that! He no longer dared to act like a brat, he wanted to leave but he knew that his sister wouldn't let go of him.
So he could only grit his teeth and look at his sister with the best puppy dog face he could muster " Sister I-"
"What do you need to say if you make a mistake?" Yu Dong however didn't let go of him. This little brat was getting more and more out of hand.
He was doted on by her three husbands and no matter how many times she asked them to pay attention and be strict with him. They would always give into him.
Yu Mai would just have to pout his lips and give them his big teary eyes and viola! Her husbands would not only forgive him without an apology but also give him sweets to eat.
Yu Mai was getting brash because of all the doting he was receiving. Thus she had to play the bad cop even if she didn't want to or else the brat might soon turn in to bratty princess. "Hmm?"
Yu Mai might be slow but he knew where and when he could use his charm. Obviously in front of his sister, he won't be able to get away without receiving his punishment.
So he conceded, pouting with his head lowered muttering softly. "I am sorry eldest sister, I was wrong."
Yu Dong smiled slightly at least he knew when to stop. "Where were you wrong?"
Yu Mai hesitated as he gripped the edge of his shirt while looking down like a wronged hamster. Especially with his teary-guilt filled eyes and his puffed-up cheeks. "I shouldn't have screamed at you -"
"And?"
"I should have listened to what Sister Ruru had to say to me." finished Yu Mai. Although he apologized he was really aggrieved. It was the first time he got scolded like this!
Yu Dong smoothed his hair and wiped away the tears that were sticking on his lashes like dewdrops.
"That's right, you should first listen to someone before jumping to any conclusion. Only after fully understanding the situation should you make a decision – today what happened was a small matter but sometimes, listening to only half conversation and jumping on any decision can really cause a big misunderstanding. From next time you should pay attention to this and don't act recklessly anymore."
Yu Dong came from a family where her parents had so many misunderstandings that they weren't even like a couple.
She can't even remember the last time she saw the two of them sitting down and having a chat. Every time her mother tried to say anything to her dad, the latter would only listen to half of what her mother had to say before exploding and leaving the house.
Of course her mother was at fault too; while talking to her dad her mother's tone was always sarcastic and filled with hidden jibes.
Even now she couldn't understand how they gave birth to her and her brothers but then again they might have done that to fulfil their responsibilities as a responsible citizen of the country.
Giving birth to strong and capable kids who will grow up as strong officers who will deal with the apocalypse situation.
That's why Yu Dong was extremely patient with her husbands and even listened to Yu Mai without getting angry or impatient. She didn't want her family to become like the one she left behind in that world.
Yu Mai nodded his little head although he didn't quite understand what his elder sister was trying to say. He did understand that he shouldn't get angry without understanding the situation perfectly. "I understand elder sister, from now on I will listen to what others have to say before getting angry."
Does this brat mean that he will get angry after listening to the situation first? Yu Dong was amused but she didn't say anything anymore. Yu Mai was still a child as long as he was willing to listen to her, she will still be able to teach him.
Now that she was done handling the stick, it was time for her to give Yu Mai sweets to cheer him up. This was how she dealt with her little brothers as well she looked down at Yu Mai and said. "Do you want to sleep with Eldest sister tonight?"
Yu Mai looked up his eyes shining brightly though he didn't say anything about sleeping with his sister anymore, he was reluctant to let go of the matter.
Sister Ruru had told him that her mother tells her a lot of stories. Yu Mai have never experienced such a novel thing so he too wanted to sleep while listening to stories. "Mhmm! I also want to hear bedtime stories!"
