Xi Nian laughed, turned around, and left. As soon as Xi Nian was gone, Bo Yan asked Zhizhi, "Why did you talk so much with that uncle?"
You should know that Zhizhi wasn't a talkative baby, nor was he that curious.
Interest in a person, especially a stranger towards whom Yuran was somewhat guarded, he was very nice. Why did Zhizhi like Xi Nian?
Zhizhi tilted his head and thought for a while, "Daddy, do you not like it when Zhizhi finds that uncle?"
Bo Yan shook his head and chuckled, "Zhizhi is already a big kid now, of course, you can choose what you like on your own. However, Mommy and Daddy can only tell you that we don't really like that uncle, but whether you like him or not is up to Zhizhi to decide, and Mommy and Daddy won't intervene."
Discussing issues with Zhizhi on an equal footing was a consensus between Bo Yan and Yuran. They did not want their child to be an extension of themselves; instead, it was imperative that the child had his own thoughts and choices.
