Chapter 176 Jiang Youan's Curious World
Jiang Youan was sitting on a soft carpet, surrounded by all sorts of toys.
Jiang Youan's big, dark eyes sparkled as he curiously observed everything around him. His little hands first grasped a brightly colored cloth tiger. The tiger had round, bright eyes and a wide-open mouth, looking utterly adorable. Jiang Youan held the cloth tiger up to his eyes, looking at it from left to right, seemingly studying its appearance carefully. Then, he put the cloth tiger to his mouth, wanting to take a bite, but found it too hard to bite, and made a "humphing" sound of dissatisfaction.
Just then, a brightly colored butterfly flew in through the window and fluttered around the room. Jiang Youan's eyes were instantly drawn to it. He put down the cloth tiger he was holding and waved his little hands in the air, trying to catch the butterfly. He made "ah ah" sounds and twisted his small body, trying his best to crawl towards the butterfly.
Jia Xiaoyan was tidying up clothes when she saw Jiang Youan's actions and couldn't help but laugh. She walked over, squatted down next to Jiang Youan, and whispered, "Youan, that's a butterfly, you can't catch it."
Jiang Youan turned his head and looked at Jia Xiaoyan, his big eyes full of confusion, as if asking why. Jia Xiaoyan patted his head and said, "Butterflies can fly, they fly very high, we can't catch them."
Jiang Youan nodded, seemingly understanding, then looked at the butterfly again. The butterfly landed on a potted plant on the windowsill, and Jiang Youan began to climb towards the windowsill with great effort. He kicked hard with his little arms and legs, making "hmm hmm" sounds, appearing extremely focused.
Finally, Jiang Youan climbed to the windowsill and reached out his little hand, trying to catch the butterfly. But just as his hand was about to touch it, the butterfly suddenly flew away. Disappointment appeared on Jiang Youan's face, and his little mouth twitched, as if he was about to cry.
Jia Xiaoyan quickly picked him up and comforted him, "You'an, it's okay that the butterfly flew away. We'll see more butterflies in the future."
Jiang Youan nestled in Jia Xiaoyan's arms, his little head turning from side to side, his attention drawn to a rattle drum on the table. The drum was decorated with cute patterns and tied with colorful ribbons. Jiang Youan reached out his little hand, wanting to grab it.
Jia Xiaoyan picked up the rattle drum and shook it in front of Jiang Youan, making a "dong dong" sound. Jiang Youan's eyes lit up, and a happy smile appeared on his face. He reached out and grabbed the rattle drum, starting to shake it himself. Although his movements were still a bit clumsy, he was having a great time.
After a while, Jiang Youan lost interest in the rattle drum again, and his gaze fell on a bookshelf in the corner of the room. The bookshelf was filled with all kinds of books, and although he couldn't read yet, the covers of those books caught his attention.
Jiang Youan, like a restless little mudfish, twisted his chubby body, struggling to break free from Jia Xiaoyan's warm embrace. Jia Xiaoyan sensed the little guy's intention, smiled slightly, and gently placed him on the solid ground.
Having just gained his freedom, Jiang Youan, like a fawn just learning to walk, stumbled and staggered straight toward the bookshelf not far away. His small, tender hands gripped the edge of the bookshelf tightly, and he tried to stand on tiptoe, his eyes fixed intently on the colorful books above, as if an endless treasure was hidden there waiting for him to discover.
Jia Xiaoyan stood quietly to the side, her eyes never leaving Jiang Youan. Her heart was filled with both worry that he might accidentally fall, and anticipation that he would bravely and independently explore the world. She watched as Jiang Youan, with great effort and persistent attempts, finally managed to grasp a thin book.
He happily and carefully took down the hard-won book, then plopped down on the cold floor and eagerly opened the pages to examine it closely.
Although Jiang Youan couldn't yet understand the meaning of the dense text in the book, it didn't diminish his enthusiasm and focus. He turned the pages slowly and carefully, occasionally tapping lightly on the pages with his chubby little fingers, as if engaging in a silent dialogue with these mysterious symbols.
Jiang Liushen took the book, looked at it, and said, "This is a book about flowers and plants. When you grow up, Daddy will take you to the garden to learn about these flowers and plants."
Jiang Youan seemed to understand Jiang Liushen's words and smiled happily. He took the book from Jiang Liushen's hand again and continued to flip through it.
Suddenly, a clear, melodious, and sweet bird song drifted in from outside the window. This sound was like a key, instantly unlocking the door to Jiang Youan's curious little world. As if by magic, he abruptly lifted his head, which had been buried in his book, and his large, round eyes eagerly turned towards the window.
Without almost any hesitation, Jiang Youan quickly tossed the book aside, his movements so swift as if it were a hot potato. Then, using both hands and feet, he began to climb towards the window with all his might, like a little monkey.
Jiang Liushen and Jia Xiaoyan, sitting to the side, were taken aback at first, then exchanged a glance and burst into laughter. Their laughter, like the warm and bright sunshine of spring, filled the entire room.
Seeing this, Jiang Liushen quickly got up and walked briskly to Jiang Youan's side. He gently bent down and carefully picked up the little guy, then steadily walked to the window. He looked down and said tenderly to Jiang Youan in his arms, "Youan, look! It's the lovely little birds singing happily!"
He stared intently at the birds flying freely outside the window, his clear, watery eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing.
He couldn't help but stretch out his chubby little hand, reaching forward as if he really wanted to catch these little sprites dancing in the air.
At the same time, his pink little mouth would occasionally emit a childish yet remarkably realistic "cheep cheep" sound, just like a little bird learning to speak, which was extremely endearing.
Jiang Youan looked at Jia Xiaoyan with a puzzled expression, then turned his gaze to the birds outside the window. He watched the birds fly freely in the sky, a longing look on his face.
In this palace filled with novelties, Jiang Youan was like a little explorer, brimming with curiosity about everything around him. He explored and discovered in his own way, and every new thing piqued his interest. Jiang Liushen and Jia Xiaoyan quietly accompanied him, watching him grow little by little, and feeling every bit of joy and curiosity in his growth process.
