Early morning the next day, at the dinner table, Qiqi heard the news and was as happy as was expected.　　

He held the spoon, his pair of cat eyes opened wide, his tone lifting, “Really? We’re going together? Daddy and Uncle Yan are going?”　　

“Yeah, we’re going together.” Yan Qing Chi caressed his hair.　　

Qiqi smiled broadly with joy, his eyes curving.　

“However,” Jiang Mo Chen looked at Qiqi, “I hadn’t taken note of it before, but Qiqi, you cannot call him ‘Uncle Yan’ anymore.”　　

Qiqi didn’t quite understand.
He blinked and asked, “Why?”　　

“Because Uncle Yan and I have gotten married, so he is also your daddy now.” Jiang Mo Chen replied in a gentle tone.　　

Qiqi turned his head around to look at Yan Qing Chi, who smiled at him.
Qiqi thought about it, “Then I have two daddies now?”　　

“That’s right.”

“But if we’re both called ‘Daddy’, then it’ll be easy to get mixed up.” Jiang Mo Chen mused.　　

“We can add surnames.” Yan Qing Chi suggested, “He can call you ‘Daddy Jiang’, and me ‘Daddy Yan’.”　　

“Where would there be children calling their parents like that?” Jiang Mo Chen disagreed.
He thought about it, “In the future, you can call me ‘Father’ and call Uncle Yan ‘Daddy’.
That way, it will be easy to distinguish between us.”　　

“Isn’t ‘Father’ too formal and official? How about letting him call one ‘Daddy’, and the other ‘Pa’?”　　

“‘Strict father, kind mother’.
Although we are both men, in the future process of educating the child, there will definitely need to be a strict party and a gentle party.
Compared to me, you are clearly more suited to be the gentle party.
So I can play the strict role.
This way of divvying up the workload ought to have its reasoning.” 　　

Since he insisted, Yan Qing Chi didn’t raise any further objections.
He lowered his head to look at Qiqi and met the child’s curious gaze, “Then in the future, you can just call me ‘Daddy’ and him ‘Father’.” 　

Qiqi nodded, complying, “Mn.
Daddy.” 　　

Yan Qing Chi ruffled his hair, “So good.”　　

After they finished their meal, Yan Qing Chi took out the books that he’d bought yesterday and began teaching Qi Qi how to read.
Qi Qi was very clever.
For many of the words, he only needed to be taught once or twice before he mastered it.
Yan Qing Chi thought about it, then told him, “Qiqi, let’s play a game.”　　

Qiqi immediately set his pencil down, asking him excitedly, “What game?”

Jiang Mo Chen just so happened to pass by, and he sneakily opened the door to hear Yan Qing Chi say to Qiqi, “We’ll play a game of ‘you-ask-and-I-answer’.  We each have two cards in our hands: one is ‘like’ and the other is ‘do not like’.
Then I’ll say something.
We both show our cards and see if we have the same answers.”

Hearing him finish, Qiqi’s joyful mood instantly fell.
He had always been rather unwilling to express his likes and dislikes, deathly afraid that the other party wouldn’t like him because his answer was different from theirs.
He dipped his head, fiddled with his fingers, and didn’t speak.　　

“Do you not want to play?”　　

Qiqi lifted his head to look at him, “Can we play Chinese Checkers?”　　

Yan Qing Chi watched as the child said this cautiously and felt his heart ache.　　

He had already talked to his manager a couple days prior about terminating his contract.
Although Li Jiang felt that it was a great pity, for the sake of Yan Qing Chi’s career advancement, he agreed.
In a few more days when Li Jiang came back from abroad, Yan Qing Chi would officially terminate his contract with Xing Yue.
And he would sign on with Nan Cheng.
At that time, he might face the same situation as Jiang Mo Chen, without much time at home, which meant that he wouldn’t have much time to accompany and guide Qiqi.　　

When September arrived, not only would he be taking on new work, but Qiqi would also be going to school.
It was fine if he didn’t talk and liked to keep to himself.
However, if he continued to not express his likes and dislikes, Yan Qing Chi was worried that he might be bullied by the other kids.　　

He didn’t want that possibility to happen.
　　

He thought about it, picked up the eraser on the table and held it in his hand, then stretched both hands out in front of Qiqi, “Guess which hand has the eraser?”　　

Qiqi lifted his head, scrutinized Yan Qing Chi’s two hands, then reached out and tapped his right hand.　　

Yan Qing Chi opened his hand.
It was empty.
“You guessed wrong~”　　

He opened his left hand after he spoke, “It’s here.”

Qiqi took the eraser, studying it closely, then looked up at him.
His gaze was full of puzzlement, as if he did not understand why the man would suddenly play this game with him.　　

Yan Qing Chi didn’t answer his unspoken question directly.
Instead, he asked him, “Do you know why you would guess wrong?”　　

Qiqi shook his head.　　

“Because you are not me, so you don’t know what I’m thinking.
If you just guessed, there will always be a time when you guess wrong.”　　

“I don’t understand.”　　

“Think of it like this: even if I’m older than you, and your daddy-ah, not right- your father is also older than you, we are still adults.
We won’t be able to know what you want every time.” He tapped Qiqi’s chest where his heart was located, “That’s why, sometimes, we need your help.”　　

“Help?”　　

“Yes,” Yan Qing Chi smiled, “you tell us what you want and what you want to do so that when we know, we can do it together.”　　

As Qiqi listened to every word he said, he stared at him quietly, not saying a word.　　

“Does Qiqi not want to help us?” Yan Qing Chi asked.　　

“It’s not that.” He mumbled.

“I knew it! Qiqi is so clever and cute, he must be the kindest angel ever.
He will definitely (be willing to) help me.”　　

Qiq Qi pursed his lips.
It seemed like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say it.

Yan Qing Chi pulled him into his embrace and asked, “What’s wrong?”　　

Qiqi looked at him.
That pair of translucent eyes sparkled, yet was also rather misty.　　

“What do you want to say?” Yan Qing Chi prompted gently.　　

Qiqi blinked slowly.
His eyes glistened with tears, but he stayed silent.　

Yan Qing Chi closed his eyes, “How about this? You secretly whisper it in my ear.
If you tell me secretly, then no one else will know.” 

He waited for a while with his eyes closed until he finally felt a faint breath slowly fan across his ear.
That voice was extremely young and tender, carrying elements of nervousness and timidity.
The voice was suppressed to the point that it was very feeble.
He asked, “Will you not like me if I say the wrong thing?”

Daed: So actually, this was what I had in mind when I read the Chinese and translated it as “pursed lips”.
