This Little Fourth sure knows how to make an impression!
After causing a ruckus in their room, she went and did the same in her own parentsâ room.
Ye Fan had to admit he was somewhat impressed by his daughter.
Up and about late at night, scaring people everywhere.
Isnât it just scaring people?
Of course, Ye Fan also felt quite helpless.
Thatâs just how Little Fourth Ye Jie is, and yes, it really can be headache-inducing.

The next day.
The whole family was sitting on the couch, every now and then their gazes would drift towards the tiny figure not far awayâit was Little Fourth Ye Jie.
What a character.
The antics from last night were quite serious, so they felt it was necessary to have a family meeting.
Of course, it was the first family meeting ever, and the fact that it was triggered by Little Fourth was truly unexpected.
âLittle Fourth Ye Jie, what were you doing sneaking into rooms last night?â Mother Ye asked, looking at Little Fourth,
She had really been frightened last night.
Suddenly, to see a shadowy figure standing at the head of your bed watching youâtell me, wouldnât you be scared!
Really, it was enough to give someone a heart attack.
Scaring someone could scare them to death, you know.
At their age, to be subjected to their grandchild playing ghost in the middle of the night wasnât easy.
If this happened a few more times, sheâd be ready to ascend to heaven herself,
So, such behavior had to be stopped.
Thus, she gathered everyone to have this family meeting.
âI was just, wanting to check if Grandma and Grandpa were asleep yet!â Although Little Fourth Ye Jie had not experienced such a major occasion before, she was not shy about it.
She stood up with conviction, her clear eyes looking at her grandmother.
Mother Ye, upon seeing this, grew even more puzzled.
What does it matter to her whether Iâve slept or not?
However, she could tell that the little one hadnât meant to scare her on purpose.
But the issue at hand was quite serious.
After all, they were adults, and Xiaoye Jie was just a child; it wouldnât be good if she developed this kind of habit.
Besides, what if⦠she saw something she shouldnât have. That would be even worseâ¦
Thinking of this, Mother Yeâs resolve grew stronger.
Today, she must teach Little Fourth a lesson!
Adultsâ bedrooms are not to be entered lightly.
âWhat does it matter to you whether Iâm asleep or not?â Mother Ye asked Little Fourth Ye Jie, her face filled with confusion.
âOf course it does, I learned from the TV, at night, Iâm worried you might sleep without pulling up the covers, or not cover yourselves properly, so I wanted to cover you with the blanket, Grandma, you donât have to thank me, I think, as a granddaughter, these things are the right thing to do!â Little Fourth Ye Jie concocted a story with a straight face,
She couldnât very well say that she was trying to see if she could make herself invisible.
Besides, donât adults like to check if kids have their blankets pulled up?
Then why canât children do the same for adults?
With a spark of inspiration, she instantly thought of an excuse.
Lucky for her, she was smart!
Otherwise, it might have been tough to get through today.
Upon hearing Little Fourth Ye Jieâs reasoning, everyone was momentarily taken aback.
Pulling up the blanket!
Covering with the blanket~
Especially Mother YeâYe Fanâs momâit made her feel even more vexed.
Do I look like someone who tosses and turns enough to kick off the covers?
And based on Little Fourthâs logic, Iâd even have to thank her, thisâ¦
Well, there was nothing really wrong with what Little Fourth said, itâs just that Mother Ye also felt that Little Fourth seemed sincere, her little face was so honest and candid.
âAlright then, it was wrong of Grandma to blame you, but remember, you kids canât just walk into the adultsâ rooms, especially not at night, and you three, Big First, Big Second, and Big Third, you three remember too!â Mother Ye quickly changed the subject and looked at the other three little rascals.
They couldnât have them following Little Fourthâs lead, pulling up blankets in the middle of the night.
Otherwise, it would really scare the life out of themâ¦
âGrandma, we remember!â
âMm-hm, we remember!â
The three little ones, called out by name, promptly stood up and said earnestly.
âLittle Fourth, have you got it?â Mother Ye then turned to look at Little Fourth.
âGrandma, do you really not need me to pull up the blankets for you?â Little Fourth Ye Jie asked again, seemingly reluctant to give up.
Her innocent eyes made Mother Ye pause for a moment.
What a scene, frightening herself once wasnât enough, she was planning on doing it again?
Looking at her, it was touching indeed, but surely, it just couldnât be allowed.
âNo need, why should you worry about these things as a child? Just take care of yourself, and from now on, knock on the door before you enter a room!â Mother Ye spoke again.
These were habits they must instill in the youngsters.
Of course, not just at home, but also at school, in fact, wherever they are, it should be like this.
Over time, the children would avoid barging into rooms impulsively, preventing many incidents.
Knocking before entering a room is a good habit and a very polite way to behave.
âGot it!â Little Fourth said somewhat dejectedly.
Seeing her like this, Father Ye immediately felt a pang of sympathy.
âThe child had good intentions, so itâs all right. Just correct it next time!â Father Ye went over to Little Fourthâs side to comfort her.
The kid wasnât wrong, after all.
Itâs just a misunderstanding about how to do things properly.
A good deed turned into a faux pas.
And it wasnât such a big deal; look, my precious granddaughter is getting all upset.
âThere now, this meeting was to discuss this matter, I know you meant well, alright, alright then!â Mother Ye waved it off.
These kids, they really do have a way of breaking your heart!
