Chapter 1421 Childish Fathers
Finally, the children and animals got tired of playing. Little Jun went to his Uncle Yehan and knew how to ask for water.
Lin Yehan was beaming. He felt like a father, especially at times like this. He gladly poured Little Jun a cup of water and called over Popcorn and the puppies to drink as well. His usual soft and gentle smile had now transformed into a delighted (and slightly foolish) smile. The Jin twins crawled to their father and hugged each of Jin Liwei's legs. They looked at him and blinked their adorable eyes. It was clear that they were also asking for something to drink, but Jin Liwei pretended not to understand at first. Little Mochi grew impatient and started whining. His younger twin brother, Little Matcha, tugged on their father's trousers.
"Tell dad what the two of you want," Jin Liwei said calmly. "Ah! Bah!" Little Mochi waved his little arms and expressed his complaints with exaggerated babbles.
Little Matcha continued tugging their father's trousers.
"Dada! Dada!!!" Little Mochi was close to throwing a tantrum.
Jin Liwei's eyes lit up. "Yes, I'm Dada. Say it again."
"Dada!!! Dada!!!"
Jin Liwei looked at his other twin son with expectant eyes. Little Matcha pouted but still said, "Dada."
"Well done, boys." Jin Liwei laughed and lifted his two sons into his arms before kissing them.
Lu Zihao snorted while watching the scene. He ridiculed his brother-in-law, "Childish."
"I think it's adorable," Lin Yehan commented. "I bet you'll also feel happy when your own sons start calling you Dada."
Lu Zihao didn't reply but looked at his own twins. Both were still too small and young to join playing with their cousins on the floor. Little Misha threw a brief tantrum earlier because he wanted to join in the fun. If only he was a little bigger and stronger, there was no doubt that he would have jumped out of the crib to play with the others. Unfortunately, he still had some growing to do. Only when his scary daddy gave him a hard stare did he grudgingly stop making trouble. Boohoo, his daddy was no fun at all!
Lin Yehan's brows rose. "Grandpa Lu will be moving with Fifth Brother to their new house?"
"No, the old man bought a property near our new house," Lu Zihao replied. "He says our house is too small for his liking, so he bought a bigger one that he's currently rebuilding into a small mansion. After it's done, the old man's place will be the biggest house in the neighbourhood."
Lin Yehan laughed. "As expected of Grandpa Lu!"
"You can take the majority of my wife's breastmilk supply for Little Misha and Little Dima when you move out," Jin Liwei told his brother-in-law. "My sons don't consume much of their mom's milk anymore."
"I won't stand on ceremony, then." Lu Zihao accepted the offer. He knew that his sons preferred their aunt's milk the most. Before this, he would have declined the offer because he didn't want to obligate his sister into providing milk for his own sons. But he had gotten used to the arrangement now. They all treated the four babies not as mere cousins but more like actual siblings. The Jin and Lu twins shared almost everything, from breastmilk to everything in the nursery and so much more. In a way, they were more like quadruplets than separate sets of twins.
Iris and Jin Liwei treated Little Misha and Little Dima like their own children. In the same way, Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing also treated Little Mochi and Little Matcha like their own children. If not for the routine where the babies were taken to sleep in their parents' own bedrooms every night, they might grow confused about which couple was their actual biological parents. Or they might simply think that they had two mommies and two daddies for a total of four parents. Lin Yehan smiled at his third and fifth brothers. "I think I've already mentioned this before, but I'll say it again. I'm still amazed that the two of you are the first to marry and have kids among us brothers. Third Brother had never shown any interest in women before, while Fifth Brother loves adventuring too much to settle down so early. But look at the two of you now. Devoted husbands and caring fathers. It's simply amazing. I'm so proud of the two of you."
"You'll be next, Eldest Brother." Jin Liwei smiled. "That's my plan." Lin Yehan chuckled.
"There's still the cockroach named Long Hui that you should be wary of," Lu Zihao reminded him. "He's still the father of Little Jun."
"I know." Lin Yehan turned serious.
So did Jin Liwei. "Want me to beat him up?" Lu Zihao offered. Lin Yehan shook his head. "Stop kidding around, Fifth Brother."
"You think I'm kidding?"
"Don't listen to this brute, Eldest Brother. He's just bored and wants to look for trouble."
Lu Zihao glared at Jin Liwei.
"I swear that the two of you have grown more childish after becoming fathers," Lin Yehan said, shaking his head.
