Chapter 19: The Crybaby and the Proud Princess"Xing'er, there's something your father and I would like to discuss with you.""Well, it's like this, ahem…" Xiao Jinqi felt a bit embarrassed to bring it up.Yan Yuheng squeezed his hand, indicating that he would take over."You're growing up now, so it's time we talked to you about the birds and the bees.""In this world, there are men and women. They have certain physical differences. When adults of both genders come together, there's a chance they might have a baby.""The three of us are all men.""Of course, your father and I had you due to some special circumstances, so that doesn't apply here.""Oh, is that so?" If they hadn't mentioned it, Yan Xinglin would have thought he had hatched from an egg like a Spirit Beast, so he had never been curious about his own origins."We'd like to have another baby, just like you're our baby. But this one might be mischievous, lively, shy—in short, absolutely adorable.""We want to hear your opinion. If you don't agree, we won't have one."Yan Xinglin found this idea utterly fascinating and quickly nodded in agreement. He eagerly hoped the little one would arrive soon so he'd have someone to go on adventures with.…Ten months later."I can sense it—this time, there are two lives inside," Xiao Jinqi said with a hint of joy."Have you thought of names for the little ones, Xiao Bao?""Mingji and Chenhua sound nice. I want them both to take my surname." Xiao Jinqi had poured all his literary talent into coming up with these names."Alright, whatever you say."…"Wow, they're even smaller than Tianfu and Tianlu! Their skin is so pink. Father, can I touch them?"The two little ones lay in their rocking cradles, their big eyes darting around as they took in their surroundings."Ah… ah…" The baby on the left tried to reach for the little star hanging above the cradle but couldn't quite manage it after several attempts."Waaah… waaah… boohoo…" The crying pierced the heavens, assaulting everyone's eardrums.The baby on the right seemed annoyed by the noise, waving its tiny hands wildly as if trying to stop the sound from spreading."Waaah… waaah… boohoo…" The crying grew even louder.Yan Yuheng quickly picked up the sobbing baby to comfort it. Only after feeding the little one some red berry juice did the crying finally stop. It seemed all its energy had been spent for the day, and it drifted off to sleep.Yan Yuheng placed the baby back in the cradle.Beside it, the baby girl watched her father and the cheap older brother she'd interacted with many times in the womb with curiosity. She babbled and waved her little hands, as if trying to shoo away the noisy creature that kept disturbing her sleep.Yan Yuheng shook his head helplessly and moved the baby a little farther away."Father, was I this much of a crybaby when I was little?" Xiao Xinglin was now old enough to understand things and had his own sense of pride. He always acted like the boss in front of Tianfu and Tianlu, and his stubbornness refused to accept that he might have been a crybaby as a child."Hahaha…" Xiao Jinqi seemed to recall something hilarious and couldn't help but laugh out loud."Tsk, here we go again." Hearing his father's mischievous laughter, Xiao Xinglin guessed he was probably thinking of some trick to tease him."Xing'er, did you know? When you were little, you were quite clever. To get someone to hold you, you'd first hug my leg and pretend you wanted to ride an airplane."Xiao Xinglin's lips twitched. He refused to believe that was him—his father must have made it up. His dad loved teasing him, and over the years, he'd grown used to it."Hey, why not smile a bit? What's the point of frowning like your father every day?" Though the child was growing more mature and sensible, he wished his son could be a little happier at this age.
