"What's wrong? Who's going to the hospital?"

As Tianci walked into the room, Leyan immediately signaled for her to come closer to help her.

"The blood trick he pulled off is backfiring on him. Come on, stop being so stubborn."

"Stop exaggerating it. I'm fine. I was just about to fix it if it wasn't for you suddenly walking into the room——"

Before Xiaoyun could finish talking, Tianci's eyes suddenly turned red as she grabbed his arm.

With a strong downward bite, her fangs pierced right through the tough skin, exposing the veins as blood started spewing out.

"Tianci, you... Xiaoyun, are you feeling better?"

Even though Xiaoyun didn't respond, Leyan chose to let Tianci continue, seeing the frown slowly disappearing from his forehead.

A few moments later...

As Tianci moved her mouth away from the open wound, the skin on Xiaoyun's arm had already started healing.

"You feeling better?"

Leyan asked again, handing Tianci a tissue before opening a bottle of water for her to rinse her mouth.

"Yeah. I don't feel the headache anymore... Thanks, Tianci."

"No problem... Ahem."

Tianci quickly started spitting as much water as possible onto the floor, her face full of disgust.

At the same time, her eye color had shifted back to normal as the water started mixing with the blood stain.

After almost an entire minute of rinsing her mouth, Tianci finally stopped as Leyan handed her another piece of tissue.

"Geez, there's so much mess."

"Sorry."

"There's no need to apologize. You helped save our husband. I'll clean it... Tianci, you might want to check the time."

"Oh snap!"

With a glance at the clock, Tianci immediately dashed out of the room before a loud door bang traveled upstairs.

"Sorry for making you worried." Xiaoyun apologized as he watched her go over to the closet.

"Yeah, yeah... You probably should head downstairs before Yuqi gets mad."

"Oh crap."

As Xiaoyun ran out of the room, Leyan opened the closet and took out a mop and bucket without even looking.

Heading to the bathroom with the bucket, she puts it right below the sink before turning it on.

"How many times have I cleaned the house?" Leyan murmured to herself as she turned off the sink.

Meanwhile downstairs...

As Xiaoyun arrived downstairs, not a single soul was there except Lily, who sat on the sofa with her backpack strap in her hands.

"Where did everyone go?" Xiaoyun curiously asked, taking a seat next to her.

"They headed out to work already... Also, Sister Yuqi told me that you should head to the military headquarters first."

"Did she say anything else?"

"Nope... Oh, I almost forgot. Sister Yueyue told me to tell you that she wants to talk with you about something at lunch."

"Okay... Is that all?"

"Mhm. I think that's all they left me before they went to work."

Seeing Lily falling back into silence on the sofa, Xiaoyun's mind suddenly had a little question as he looked over to the clock.

"How about you? Why aren't you going to school today? Isn't it already ten o'clock?"

"Um..."

Xiaoyun's question seemed to catch Lily off guard as she started stuttering and looked nervously to the side.

"What's wrong?"

After another moment of silence, Lily finally spoke up as she lifted her head to look right into Xiaoyun's eyes.

"I need someone to talk to my teacher. But they all headed out before I could say something to them."

"Oh. Do you want me to go with you then?"

"Sure! No! I-I mean, usually, Miss Leyan goes to this kind of teacher's talk. But she hasn't shown up from upstairs——"

"It's fine. Don't worry about it. I'll go to your school later to talk with the teacher."

Seeing Lily's face turning up a smile, Xiaoyun immediately decided to double down on it.

"What time do I have to be there? Is it around 5 to pick you up, right?"

"Yep!"

"Okay. Then I'll pick you up later."

"Thank you!"

As Lily quickly grabbed her backpack, she rushed out of the house alone as if she was afraid Xiaoyun was going to change his mind.

"What's that noise?"

Looking over to the staircase, Leyan was walking down with Bingbing and Wenwen in her hands.

"Lily just headed out for school."

"Right now? She's going to be like ten minutes late..."

As Leyan sighed, she gently put the two babies into the crib before heading to the other baby's room.

"Let me go with you."

Xiaoyun quickly got up from the sofa, following Leyan down the short hallway before arriving at the other baby's room.

"Mommy! Daddy!"

"Good morning Yongyi! How did you sleep last night? Did you act well last night?"

"Yeah!"

As Leyan carried her baby out of bed and onto the floor, he immediately ran over to the small seat before sitting down.

"Oh my, Yongyi, you did such a good job!"

Just as Xiaoyun was a little confused by what was happening, he could hear a little water sound followed by some heavy drops.

"What's this for?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"Potty training, duh."

"Already? Didn't we start potty training Yuqi when she was like two?" Xiaoyun questioned.

"The earlier, the better... I'd rather have them go through potty training than have to wear a diaper all the time."

"Yongyi, let mommy wipe it for you. Don't move, okay?"

As Leyan squatted down with a piece of tissue, Xiaoyun's mind was a little impressed by how still Yongyi stood.

It was almost as if the baby was behaving like a magical, obedient five-year-old when, in reality, they had a one-year-old birthday last month.

"Good job... Stay in bed for a bit, okay? Mommy will bring you out with your sibling to play later, okay?"

Yongyi nodded as he watched Leyan carry him back to his crib before she headed out of the room.

As Xiaoyun looked at Yongyi, he was a little intrigued, wondering what they were thinking inside their little brains.

"Leyan, isn't our baby maturing a little too fast?" Xiaoyun questioned as he followed her to the next room.

"So? Do you want me to dump our kids on the streets then?"

"Not that extreme——"

"Then shut up and help me instead of just standing there. Go to the next room to help Qiaolan out."

"Okay, okay."

Seeing a hint of anger from Leyan, Xiaoyun quickly backed down as he headed to the third room alone.

---

After ten minutes of babysitting, the two of them could finally relax as they watched the babies run around in the living room.

"Geez, this work feels so disgusting..."

Xiaoyun murmured as he thought back to the amount of baby feces he had to dump out.

"Hmph. And I'm doing that every single day."

Seeing Leyan crossing her arms, Xiaoyun couldn't help but pull her a little closer.

"Thank you so much, babe... I wouldn't believe where I would be in life without you."

"Mhm. Anything else?"

"You're the kindest, selfless woman in this whole world. Society as we know it will not exist——"

"Enough. Stop bootlicking me. Don't you have work today? It's almost ten-thirty already."

"There's always time to be with you——"

"Mom! Lianrong hit me!"

"Mom! Qiaolan hit me!"

As the two babies pointed at each other, Leyan quickly pushed Xiaoyun aside.

"Yongyi, who hit first?"

Seeing Yongyi pointing at himself made Leyan roll her eyes. Her face looked a little annoyed as she held both girls in her arms.

"Xuanhua, do you know who hit first?"

With a shake, Leyan could find no answers besides assuming both sides had a valid agreement of some sort.

"Don't hit each other, okay? Or mommy is going to put both of you back into the crib until you behave."

Both girls nodded as she put them back down, letting them play with their toys again while she watched from above.

"They have so much energy," Xiaoyun murmured as he watched the babies start rolling the toy cars across the floor.

"If only they had the same energy when they were learning how to read."

Seeing Leyan sighing out loud, Xiaoyun got a little curious. Slowly, he sat back up on the sofa.

"What's wrong? Are they misbehaving or something?"

"Not that. It's just that they always fall asleep halfway through the lesson plans. Like they always just nap on the floor when I——"

As Leyan started complaining about her problems, Xiaoyun's mind started imagining her sitting in the middle.

With all the babies around her, they all sat and tried to read until they fell asleep on top of the book.

For some reason, he couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.

"What's so funny?"

"Leyan, you're trying to teach kids reading skills at one year old?"

"Yeah. What's wrong with that?"

"Yuqi didn't even learn how to read until she was five. You're having way too high of an expectation for them."

Xiaoyun's answer made Leyan fall into silence. Her mind started to realize the point he had made.

"But——"

"Come on, Leyan. Just because our kids are good at behaving doesn't mean they are inherently geniuses.

When did you put such high pressure on them? Weren't you the one who wanted them to grow up normally like other kids?"

Xiaoyun's answer once again made her fall further into silence, unable to argue back against her own statement.
