2557 Side Story 61: Father and Son Game
Rong Xiaoxun was the one crying.

He had been punched by his own brother in his sleep. Without opening his eyes, he cried aggrievedly.

Then, Rong Xiaoyan was also woken up. He opened his eyes in a daze and bit his small fist, but he didn’t cry.

However, Rong Xiaoxun’s combat skills alone were strong enough.

Rong Xiu’s body suddenly froze.

Chu Liuyue pushed his shoulders. “Quickly take a look. Why is the child crying?”

Rong Xiu closed his eyes and got up.

Chu Liuyue followed him over.

Seeing that Rong Xiaoxun was the only one crying, Chu Liuyue heaved a sigh of relief and carried him up to coax him.

Rong Xiaoyan didn’t cry, but he looked over pitifully. Of course, he was looking at his own mother, so he didn’t tell his own father anything.

Then, he naturally saw his brother nestled in his mother’s arms very comfortably. Rong Xiaoyan blinked, pouted, and felt wronged.

When Chu Liuyue saw this, she hurriedly said, “Rong Xiu, coax him first.”

Rong Xiu reached out and picked Rong Xiaoyan up.

Actually, he often did this and even hugged him more comfortably than Chu Liuyue, his mother.

Rong Xiaoyan fell into a wide and firm embrace—it was different from what he had imagined.

Then—

“Boohoo!” He was crying too.

Rong Xiu’s forehead twitched.

Chu Liuyue looked over.

Rong Xiaoyan rarely cried, and this made her heart ache.

She thought for a moment. “Rong Xiu, let me carry him!”

Perhaps children are naturally closer to their mothers, especially when they’re young.

Rong Xiu hesitated for a moment and finally passed Rong Xiaoyan over.

Luckily, they weren’t heavy, so Chu Liuyue wasn’t tired when she carried one each. The more important thing was that Rong Xiaoyan stopped crying the moment he landed in her arms.

Rong Xiu watched quietly from the side. Not crying anymore? Great, there is no place for me as their father.

Chu Liuyue hugged and coaxed them for a while, and the two little fellows finally fell asleep again.

She raised her chin toward Rong Xiu and put the two brothers back together.

The moment she retracted her hand, Rong Xiu hugged her back. “Continue.”

His breath landed beside her ear, making her face turn red.

She shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore…”

Rong Xiu paused. “No, you hurt.”

Chu Liuyue: “…”

“It’s what I should do. Yue’er, you don’t have to stand on ceremony.” As he spoke, he pressed her down and reached out to lift her clothes.

Then, the cries came again.

“Wuwuwuwuwu!”

Rong Xiaoxun didn’t know why he was hit again, but he cried the moment he opened his mouth.

Rong Xiu laughed. What, do you have more strength after eating, and you’re shouting even more energetically?!

Chu Liuyue stuck her head out of his arms and looked over. “He’s crying again. I’ll go take a look—”

“I’ll coax him. You can rest.” Then, Rong Xiu stood up and walked over.

Chu Liuyue thought that the Emperor had successfully upgraded to ‘father,’ so she relaxed. Then, she saw Rong Xiu walk to the crib.

He didn’t reach out to hug them. Instead, he looked down at the two little fellows from above and lightly spat out a sentence. “What, are you still hungry? Do you know how embarrassing it is to vomit milk?”

The cries suddenly stopped.

Chu Liuyue: “…”

Rong Xiu turned around and hugged her. “I’m done coaxing him.”

Chu Liuyue looked at him with a complicated expression. “Rong Xiu, do you… usually coax people like this?”
Rong Xiu’s lips curled up. “Of course not. At least, I don’t do this when I’m coaxing you.”

Then, he lowered his head and kissed her lips. His voice was low and hoarse. “You dote on your son, but you should also dote on… your husband…”
