âIf someone discovers that weâre different from ordinary people, weâll be considered monsters, freaks, with terrible fates!â Little Fourth Ye Jie spoke up again.
Her grave expression really scared her second sister, Ye Qing.
Wait a minuteâ¦
Is Little Fourth speaking about us?
Could it beâ¦
Does Little Fourth also possess such abilities?
Thisâ¦
âLittle sister, you just referred to âus.â Do you also have the ability to control plants?â Ye Qing asked.
âNo, Iâm just really strong. Last time, I carried that 100-pound wild boar back home with one hand. You canât tell anyone about this, of course. Only you and I know, and even Dad and Mom are unaware!â Little Fourth Ye Jie whispered.
Isnât that so!
Now, even her second sister has somehow gained a Special Ability like her.
âWhy canât we tell Mom and the others?â Ye Qing inquired.
If Dad knows, it must be because Ye Jie told him.
But why canât Mom and the others be informed?
She couldnât figure it out.
âSecond sister, youâre so silly. Being people like us is already dangerous. If we tell Mom and the others, and if weâre exposed, wouldnât that just bring trouble to them, making them suffer with us!â Little Fourth Ye Jie spoke with some disdain, pursing her lips.
How can her second sister be so slow.
Even though she was her own sister, her brain didnât seem to work as well as Little Fourthâs.
This was worrisome!
They were all their parentsâ children, but why was she the only one so clever?
Such a simple truth had to be pointed out by someone else.
Ah, being the little sister was difficult.
âI understand now!â Ye Qing nodded.
Little Fourth was right.
How could she, as the older sister, not have thought of that?
But, her little sister really was smart, haha!
Still, why was their dad aware?
âWhy does Dad know about it?â Ye Qing voiced her inner question.
âBecause Dad is like us, he also has a Special Ability, so of course, he knows. You wait here, Iâll go call Dad!â With that, Ye Jie got up, and while doing so, brushed away the grass in Ye Qingâs hand.
âBe careful, and make sure no one sees it,â Ye Jie warned Ye Qing.
With her sister being so dim-witted, she had to remind her.
No choice, the smart one always needed to remind those who werenât as sharp.
Who else but her understood such matters.
âDonât worry, I got it. Hurry up and go!â Ye Qing said nervously, immediately trying to calm herself so that others wouldnât notice anything unusual about her.
âAlright, wait for me!â Little Fourth Ye Jie slowly made her way toward the shallow lake.
Right now, Dad and Mom were fishing.
She needed to think of a good strategy to distract Mom.
Otherwise, how will she keep Mom from becoming suspicious?
Oh, this is challenging!
Having too much intellect could be a bother!
Always having to be the one to think it all through.
Little Fourth felt conflicted about how to speak to her dad without making her mom worry.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan had just caught a big fish, around five or six pounds in weight.
Bai Susu, sitting beside him, was overjoyed at the catch.
âHusband, youâre amazing!â Bai Susu said with a smile as she approached.
Looking at the fish, she already started thinking about the fish soup for dinner.
âDad, thatâs amazing, you caught a big fish!â At that moment, Little Fourth clung to the railing outside, shouting excitedly.
They couldnât help it; for safety reasons, Dad had the shallow lake surrounded with fencing to prevent the girls from playing in it and falling into the water.
So, all she could do was lean on the railing and watch from outside.
âYouâve come too, just in time. Dad caught a big fish, weâll have fish for dinner tonight,â Ye Fan said, removing the hook from the fishâs mouth.
âHoney, Iâll take this fish home for them to cook!â Bai Susu said joyfully.
âSure, just be careful. Hold the fish by the gills; youâll be fine,â Ye Fan instructed, showing Bai Susu how to do it.
âDonât worry!â Bai Susu said confidently as she gripped the fish gills and left.
At this point, Ye Fan watched Bai Susuâs retreating figure, then put down his fishing rod and walked over to the railing to look at Little Fourth.
âWhatâs up?â Ye Fan asked.
There must be something important; otherwise, why would this little one come looking for him specifically?
âDad, thereâs something really important, I canât explain it, but you have to come with me!â Ye Jie said, looking around nervously.
She thought it was best to have her dad come over and see for himself.
No amount of explaining would do; itâs better to let Dad see, and then everything will be clear at a glance.
âOkay, wait for me!â Ye Fan nodded, promptly putting away the fishing rod.
If Little Fourth is this worried, then it must be a significant issue.
Ye Fan quickly wrapped up and followed Little Fourth Ye Jie in the direction she was headed.
âExactly what is it? It seems quite urgent,â Ye Fan remarked.
âDad, donât ask. Once we get there, youâll understand!â Ye Jie replied.
âI canât explain it anyway, and I donât really get it, but Second Sister, sheâs⦠sheâs in trouble!â Ye Jie said.
âWhat, in trouble?â Ye Fan was startled.
So his second daughter was in trouble!
âNo, itâs not that kind of trouble, itâs like us, ah, youâll know once you see it,â Little Fourth Ye Jie said.
This really is the case; the more one tries to explain, the messier it gets.
Itâs better not to explain at all.
âAlright!â Ye Fan quickened his pace.
From listening to Little Fourthâs words, he too became anxious.
