In fact, this situation is also very suitable for families with two children.
Most two-child families strive to maintain a balance and treat their children equally.
One cannot say this approach is wrong; it is simply the most convenient way to educate.
However, some parents who are smarter and do not mind the extra effort will adopt a different method.
And that is education through favoritism.
But this kind of favoritism certainly isn't about openly suppressing the other child.
Instead, it involves instilling the idea in one child that "I favor you the most" while the other child is not present.
Then, when that child is away, the parent instills the same idea of being the "favorite" in the other child.
After all, people always hope to be the favored one, regardless of the relationship.
Thus, under this kind of upbringing, both children will inwardly assume they are the one their parents favor most.
Children raised in such an environment not only appear more confident but also feel a sense of guilt toward their siblings because they believe they are the favored one.
Consequently, they may take the initiative to care for or even treat the other sibling better to compensate for that guilt.
Just like Si Nian right now.
Jiang Cheng looked at Si Nian with gentle eyes and reached out to stroke her head.
"You little silly, I'll be good to you both, I promise."
Hearing this, Si Nian's tense shoulders completely relaxed.
She had never expected Jiang Cheng to give up Si Qing for her.
After all, both of them could see Jiang Cheng's ambitions regarding them very clearly.
She raised her hand and gently gripped Jiang Cheng's cuff, her fingertips still carrying a lingering warmth.
Her voice was as soft as if it were soaked in warm water. "Then... be gentle later too. Although Si Qing is usually carefree, she's actually more afraid of pain than I am."
Seeing the concern she couldn't hide in her eyes, Jiang Cheng gently pinched her cheek and nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Hearing this, Si Nian finally let go, wrapped her thin blanket tighter around her, and walked slowly toward the door.
However, she glanced back as she opened the door.
Seeing Jiang Cheng staring at her with a reluctant expression, the corners of Si Nian's mouth couldn't help but curve upward.
With her ears turning red, she quickly closed the door and went next door.
The room fell silent instantly, and only then did Jiang Cheng deactivate his Deep Affection Gaze skill.
With a smirk, he turned and entered the bathroom.
Cold water slid down his hair and over his neck, quickly washing away the heat from his body. Within three to five minutes, he came out wrapped in a bath towel.
Just as he was drying his hair and looked up, he saw Si Qing sitting on the bed.
A white bath towel wrapped around her slender body. Her hands tightly gripped the edges of the towel, and her eyes stared at the carpet at the foot of the bed with a trace of helplessness.
Hearing footsteps, Si Qing jerked her head up, but hurriedly lowered her eyes when they met Jiang Cheng's gaze.
Si Qing was different from Si Nian; after all, they had already been laid bare to each other at the hotel last time.
Thus, skipping the awkward phase, Jiang Cheng walked over and sat directly beside her.
His fingertips lightly brushed her hand resting by her side as he spoke with a hint of playfulness, "So, the one sitting here now is Si Qing, right?"
As he finished speaking, the person across from him didn't blush and dodge like Si Nian had. Instead, she looked up, her almond-shaped eyes curving into crescents as she laughed.
She raised a hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness. "Can't you distinguish between me and Nian Nian at all?"
Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to pull Si Qing into his arms, his palm gently pressing against her warm back beneath the bath towel.
He continued the same favoritism-style interaction he had just used with Si Nian.
"To be honest, if you two were just sitting there quietly, I really wouldn't be able to tell you apart at a glance. But as soon as you speak, with that slightly coquettish tone of yours, I could recognize you with my eyes closed."
Si Qing buried her head in his shoulder and couldn't help but giggle at his words.
After all, in her view, she had only ended up with Jiang Cheng by accidentally pretending to be Si Nian.
Before her smile could fade, Jiang Cheng's kiss landed gently on the top of her head.
Although it wasn't lip-to-lip, such an intimate kiss sometimes felt even more meaningful.
It instantly made Si Qing feel valued, and she believed that she must be a bit more special in Jiang Cheng's heart.
The tips of her ears instantly grew hot, and she instinctively shrank into his embrace.
Looking down at her shy appearance, he gently pinched her, his tone full of playfulness. "Why are you still shy? Haven't I seen everything last time?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng bring up last time, Si Qing raised her hand and lightly thumped his chest, the force as light as a feather, but her voice softened. "Who's shy? I just didn't want to make things difficult for you... Just now... weren't you 'full' yet? It's only been a short break; do you still have any energy left?"
Jiang Cheng grasped her wrist and gently pulled her toward the bed, and they both tumbled onto the soft bedding.
Propping himself up on his arms above her, the smile in his eyes was unmistakable. "Girl, never ask a man if he has energy, because you'll regret it later."
These words made Si Qing both expectant and flustered.
Although shy, she had decided to give herself to Jiang Cheng even earlier than Si Nian had.
Now that Si Nian had already done it, she had even less to hesitate about.
Besides, while she was over there earlier, she had already passively experienced a wave of sensations.
She was feeling uncomfortable right now and desperately needed Jiang Cheng's comfort.
She reached out to push his chest, but her fingertips accidentally touched his warm skin, and her strength instantly dissipated, leaving only a hint of coquettishness. "Do you still want to..."
Seeing the earnest expectation hidden in Si Qing's eyes.
Jiang Cheng laughed instantly.
Some women really don't understand men very well.
If it were the same woman, a man would definitely want to rest after two rounds.
But if a new Girl comes along, the drive returns immediately.
Even though Si Nian and Si Qing look exactly the same.
Their expressions and tones are completely opposite.
Jiang Cheng lowered his head, his nose brushing against hers, his voice as deep and sweet as honey. "Can't you see? From the moment I saw you smile just now, all my energy came back. You tell me, do I want to?"
