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!
The Lu twins were inside the crib. But, unlike Little Misha, who wanted to join the others, Little Dima was pretty content staying in the crib's safety with a rattle. Lu Zihao didn't notice that the corner of his lips curved up, and his eyes softened while looking at his brats. Little Misha and Little Dima might be troublesome most of the time, but they would always be his own kids. It wasn't like he, the former Nikolai Vetrov, couldn't handle two stinky little brats. The twins needed at least one hundred years—no, one thousand years—to catch up to their old man's level. Hah!
Lin Yehan chuckled at him while shaking his head. As for Jin Liwei, he gave his own set of twins a few sips of water while warming up two servings of breastmilk. The twins had already been completely weaned from feeding directly from their mother's breast. However, they continued to drink breastmilk from a bottle or a sippy cup. Iris continued to pump milk, but her production was already declining. Although there was still a lot of frozen milk in their storage, four babies consumed the supplies. The Jin twins were alright, but the Lu twins might run out of breastmilk soon. Therefore, Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing had decided to integrate baby formula in addition to Iris' breastmilk for their own twins. Both Little Misha and Little Dima didn't like formula at first and preferred their aunt's breastmilk instead. However, they had no choice about the matter. Their parents insisted on feeding them small amounts of baby formula every day. They eventually tolerated it until they got used to it. As a result, they had quickly grown into two little fatties compared to their elder Jin twin cousins. Back to Jin Liwei, the grin on his face was so big and bright that Lu Zihao kept rolling his eyes at him. Lin Yehan chuckled and felt happy for his third brother.

"This is the first time that they called you Dada?" Lin Yehan asked. "No, but it's the first time they said it in front of me," Jin Liwei replied while putting his twins in the crib with their Lu cousins. Little Mochi and Little Matcha had a sippy cup filled with their mom's delicious warm milk.
"Oh?" Lin Yehan raised an eyebrow and laughed. "Don't tell me they're teasing their own daddy?"
"En. I often hear them saying Dada when I'm a few feet away. But when I confront them and ask them to repeat it, they refuse to do so."
Lu Zihao stood up, stroked the Jin twins' heads, and praised them. "Well done, Viktor and Yuri. As expected of my nephews. You should continue trolling your father. I, your uncle, will reward you."
Jin Liwei scowled. "Stop trying to corrupt my children. Xiulan will be upset if she learns about this."
"She'll only be upset if you tell her about it. Are you going to be a tattletale? Huh?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
