Chapter 225: Chapter 77: Chen Yin Accompanies the Birth_3
——It’s worth it.
This time, Du Xixi was playfully teasing Ke Lian. She glanced at him with a smile and said in a sweet voice, "My brother is willful, but you have a sweet mouth, always finding ways to comfort and coax me."
"I only coax you!" Ke Lian didn’t find anything wrong with being a bit sweet-tongued in front of his wife.
He saw Du Xixi lounging comfortably against the pillow, holding a large black and white fluffy ball, and his expression softened: "In the future, I’ll make sure to properly teach Yiyi and Er Er. The three of us will coax you together!"
Du Xixi blushed shyly, and the two babies in her belly moved unconsciously.
Yiyi and Er Er: ...Why does dad have to flaunt his love and drag us into it?
We’re just kids!
Early the next morning, as soon as Du Xixi got up and was being carefully fed the homemade white porridge from 2569 by Ke Lian, Chen Yin and Rob, who had hurried over from the Imperial Palace, arrived.
Chen Yin was dressed in ordinary loungewear and didn’t carry the intimidating aura of his regal position at all. Since there were no outsiders in the hospital room, he casually slouched in a chair, crossing one leg over the other without any concern for his image.
"I’m dead tired, almost got blocked outside just now." Chen Yin’s status is so distinguished, and although the military hospital occasionally sees high-ranking dignitaries, none are comparable to Chen Yin. So, as soon as people saw him, they unceremoniously crowded around him.
"Last time you came to the Ke Family, you almost got blocked too." Ke Xing no longer adhered to formalities with the once greatly revered Your Majesty. In his view, the unrestrained Chen Yin was like dealing with a junior, so he just did as he pleased.
Of course, since Chen Yin is Du Xixi’s brother and Ke Xing is now Du Xixi’s father-in-law, it’s indeed not improper to say Chen Yin is a junior to Ke Xing.
Chen Yin didn’t care whether Ke Xing treated him with respect or not; he wasn’t one for rules anyway. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so blatantly blocked time and again.
"What can I do? Your Majesty is just too handsome! Nothing can be done about it!" He arrogantly tossed his head, flicking his slightly longer bangs back with his finger—a charming and classy gentleman, indeed.
Unfortunately, among those present, aside from the cute housekeeper robot 2569, even Rob had a striking appearance, making Chen Yin’s handsomeness seem not as prominent.
Luckily, Chen Yin wasn’t actually trying to be suave. After resting for a moment and seeing his sister smiling at him, he smiled back and said, "Xixi, did you miss your brother? Big Brother has prepared a grand gift for your little ones! Just waiting for them to come out!"
The way he said this was so casual and uninhibited it could rival Sun Mulin’s most outrageous antics. Du Xixi sighed with slight helplessness, "Brother, can’t you be a bit more serious? Or do you want the kids to know their uncle is a rascal?"
"Oh no, almost forgot!" Chen Yin shivered unexpectedly, quickly sitting upright, straightening his back, and even uncrossing his legs, "I am a very serious person!"
It only took Chen Yin a few seconds to shift from being casual and wild to being poised and solemn.
Everyone: ...
Everyone was, after all, familiar with Chen Yin and aware that his erratic behavior was nothing unusual, so they didn’t mind. True to form, it wasn’t long before Chen Yin was acting normal again, lying next to the bed, gazing at Du Xixi’s pregnant belly without blinking.
"Little ones, I’m your uncle! Say ’Uncle!’ Uncle... Uncle... Uncle..." Chen Yin mumbled endlessly, making everyone laugh uncontrollably, and Du Xixi even playfully slapped his face, "Brother, you’re going to scare them."
Prenatal education is one thing, but as an uncle taking it upon himself to personally teach the babies to say ’Uncle’ in a looping fashion isn’t exactly normal.
Facing the displeased look in his sister’s eyes, Chen Yin merely giggled and finally acted normally. He stood up straight and saw Du Xixi still eating breakfast; he spoke to the diligent Ke Lian who was feeding his wife, "Ke Lian, let me feed Xixi!"
Although Chen Yin had witnessed Du Xixi’s growth in Blue Star Time, he had never personally fed her porridge or meals. Hence, he was somewhat eager to try and see what it felt like.
Chen Yin waited with anticipation for Ke Lian to hand over the bowl of porridge, but Ke Lian calmly glanced at him, continuing to feed Du Xixi cooled white porridge without pausing, "Get lost."
Chen Yin: "...Treat me nicely! I’m the brother-in-law!"
"I’m Xixi’s husband, Brother-in-law." Ke Lian didn’t worry about any threat his brother-in-law might pose to his status as Du Xixi’s husband. If there was any real threat, Chen Yin would have acted on it long ago rather than just run his mouth.
Ke Lian righteously refused Chen Yin’s request to "feed porridge," and Chen Yin felt his heart had taken a hit, deciding to show his brother-in-law a thing or two.
But just as Chen Yin rolled up his sleeves, a glance from Ke Lian stopped him, and he nonchalantly rolled the sleeves back down.
Chen Yin: It’s not cowardice, just that it’s winter, and it’s a bit chilly!
Rob: Current room temperature, 27.6°C.
