Brother Li had already been summoned to the Ye Family home early on.
"They look so alike, can you tell which one is which?" After instructing Brother Li to take care of some matters, Ye Ziāan continued to tease his son, even though the boy was still fast asleep.
Well, Ye Ziāan asked a very truthful question, Yang Chuxia really couldnāt tell them apart, not that she was nonchalant, but the two had not a single distinct mole or birthmark on their faces or bodies, and they looked so similarāall rosy and chubbyāthat it was indeed hard to distinguish between them.
However, Yang Chuxia would never admit to that fact.
Instead, she said, "Donāt you see they are wearing different colors?"
Indeed, one mainly wore red, goose-yellow, and apricot, while the other predominantly wore blue, green, or whiteāan observation he had made the day before. But then there arose a problem: what if they were undressed, could you still tell them apart?
When he raised this question, Yang Chuxia gave him a contemptuous glance.
"Have you studied yourself stupid?" Yang Chuxia pointed to the bracelets on the wrists of the two ābaoziā and said, "See? One has āLeā engraved on it, and the other āYangā; one has an orchid pattern, the other bamboo. Take another look at their feet, one has stars and the other, moons. Even the collars they originally had around their necks were different, but I took those off."
After she finished, Yang Chuxia looked proudly at Ye Ziāan and said, "If you still canāt tell them apart after that, then you must have a problem with your eyes."
Ye Ziāan was dumbfounded; she had actually used this method to recognize her sons, and he began to deeply doubt which child was the elder and which was the younger.
"I bet, if you took all those things off, you definitely wouldnāt know who is who."
Alright, he not only asked a very truthful question but also made a very truthful statement.
Only now, Yang Chuxia was displeased, pointing at him and snorting, "If youāre so capable, strip them both bare and then try to tell whoās who!"
At her words, Ye Ziāan touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing that he remained silent, Yang Chuxia gloated, "Humph, arenāt you the same? Still have the nerve to mock me?"
However, Ye Ziāan ignored her and continued to stare at the two ābaoziā for a while before saying, "I think I should be able to tell whoās who."
"Are you sure?" Yang Chuxia looked at him skeptically.
"Sure!" Ye Ziāan nodded calmly.
Thus, these two irresponsible parents started to play the baby recognition game. First, Yang Chuxia sent Ye Ziāan out, then she took the two children to the big bed and covered up their clothes and accessories, leaving only their faces exposed.
"Go on, guess if the one on the left is Lele or if itās the one on the right."
Ye Ziāan was brought back in, and Yang Chuxia didnāt rush him, letting him look carefully.
After a while, he pointed and said, "I guess the one on the right is Lele."
"Wrong!" Yang Chuxia firmly lifted the small blanket, revealing Yangyang in the white clothes underneath.
Ye Ziāan then touched his nose and said, "Letās try again, I was distracted just now."
"Pfft..." Yang Chuxia laughed. She thought, what an excuse, you got distracted!?
Nonetheless, Yang Chuxia humored him and played again. When Ye Ziāan came back in, Yang Chuxia said, "This time, guess which one is Yangyang."
This time, Ye Ziāan wasnāt so quick, and after hesitating for a long time, he pointed and said, "Still the left side."
"Wrong, the left side is Lele!"
Ye Ziāan then stepped forward to take a closer look at the two little ones and muttered, "How could I be wrong, I could clearly see that one childās eyes are a bit longer, right?"
