Jing Yang immediately stopped.
Youyou looked eagerly at the orange in her hand and pouted coquettishly. “Yueyao, why don’t you peel oranges for us?”
“Let me finish doing that!” Yueyao gently rubbed the orange with her tiny hand until the skin loosened. Her index finger lightly dug into the heart of the fruit and she carefully pried the skin off.
She peeled it very meticulously. Her fair and cute fingers tore off the skin bit by bit. The orange skin came off easily because she had done a good job in loosening it. After she had removed the fruit peel, Yueyao patiently worked at removing the inner membrane of the fruit, a little at a time.
!!These bits of white membrane were edible, but it affected the taste of the fruit, to an extent. Every time Yun Shishi peeled oranges for Yueyao, she would peel off the inner membrane bit by bit, so that when the girl ate it, the texture was sweet and perfect. Following her mother’s example, Yueyao slowly tore away the white membrane along the sections of the fruit.
However, this process was extremely tedious. In addition, Yueyao’s fingers weren’t very agile. She stopped intermittently as she peeled. Soon, five minutes had passed before she finally managed to remove half of the peel.
Under normal circumstances, Little Yichen would have lost his patience long ago. But because it was Yueyao peeling the orange, he was happy to be patient.
The three boys stared unblinkingly at Yueyao as she removed the membranes from the fruit. It was as if watching her doing this was extremely interesting!
Finally…
“It’s done!” Yueyao proudly waved the orange in front of the three of them. “Look, I’m done peeling!”
Little Yichen and Youyou extended their hands almost at the same time.
Yueyao was even quicker to retract her hand, however, and said. “This orange isn’t for you!”
That almost shattered the twins’ hearts!
“Who is it for if it’s not for us?”
“Mommy said that big brother Yangyang likes oranges.” As Yueyao spoke, she broke the orange into two and prepared to further divide it into smaller sections for Jing Yang to eat.
Jing Yang was still on an IV drip, so it was inconvenient for Yueyao to feed him.
This was a special treatment that the twins could only dream of!
Little Yichen panicked and began to wheedle. “I want some too, Yueyao. I want some too. Why aren’t you giving some to your big brother?”
Youyou did not bother being reserved now. This was the first orange the girl had ever peeked! It held an incomparably special meaning! It was as if this was not an ordinary orange, but a magic fruit. It was as if eating this magic fruit would allow one to live forever!
However, Yueyao was reluctant to give it to him. Instead, she handed the fruit to Jing Yang first. But Jing Yang didn’t dare to take it. This was because the two overly doting twins were eying him fiercely! It was as if the moment he reached out to take it, the two of them would pounce on him.
Jing Yang gulped awkwardly and said, “Why don’t we have a competition? Whoever wins will get to eat the orange that Yueyao has peeled. What do you think?”
Little Yichen perked up the moment he heard that Jing Yang wanted to play games with them.
“Go ahead. What sort of game?”
“I won’t play if it’s too easy.”
Jing Yang said, “How about Red Light, Green Light?”
Youyou seemed unimpressed when he heard this. “Tsk, childish.”
“Are you afraid to compete with me?”
