The Older Brother of My Student is My Secret Crush

Chapter 162

There were two precious babies, the older brother named Xiao Yu and the younger sister named Xiao Yuan.

...

To put it plainly, these two kids really ran Xiao Chen and Yu Na ragged.

They thought if one would be quiet, they could handle the one causing a ruckus. But coaxing just one was within their capabilities.

But the two babies were both very fussy.

And they took turns, as if working different shifts, with the sister crying in the afternoon and the brother crying at night.

The only time they were quiet was when they were sleeping.

And both kids had one thing in common: they had to be held and walked around, or else they would cry as soon as they were put down in bed.

Xiao Chen and Yu Na divided up the work clearly, with Yu Na holding Xiao Yuan and Xiao Chen holding Xiao Yu.

In the afternoons, Yu Na would pace around the house holding Xiao Yuan. Luckily their home was spacious enough for her to wander with the little one.

The little girl was born with noticeable double eyelids, and her eyes were shiny and black. Without a mother's bias, she was definitely a beauty in the making.

Including Xiao Yu, who was currently being coaxed to sleep by Xiao Chen, the two made quite a fuss but were very good looking.

Whenever she wanted to lose her temper, one look at their cute little faces was enough to soften her heart.

Like right now, as Yu Na held Xiao Yuan and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, she could not look enough at how adorable the little girl was.

She was so pretty.

She was her baby.

And in the bright gaze of the little girl, she could see a reflection of her own face.

That kind of gaze represented the curiosity that little children had towards this unknown world. She clasped Yu Na's clothing in her tiny fists and made a "woo woo" sound twice.

Yu Na's heart instantly melted into a puddle. She gently tested, "Does my baby want mommy to hold you and go upstairs to sleep together with daddy and big brother? Would you like that?"

The baby made a couple humming sounds again.

Yu Na's waist was sore from standing so long, plus she hadn't been sleeping well these past few days. Drowsiness washed over her now.

She tentatively brought the baby back to the bedroom.

But when they reached the bedroom door, the little rascal immediately started wailing loudly.

The deafening cries instantly startled away Yu Na's drowsiness.

The older brother and Xiao Chen were still sleeping in the room. If woken up, that would be troublesome.

Yu Na hurriedly carried Xiao Yuan downstairs, but had barely taken two steps when the bedroom door opened.

Xiao Chen came out and softly called out, "Na Na."

Yu Na looked back, "Is Xiao Yu asleep?"

"Just fell asleep."

Xiao Chen walked over to her and whispered, "Let me hold her. You go in and sleep for a bit."

"Okay." She really was exhausted. Not caring about anything else, she handed the baby to Xiao Chen.

But as soon as Xiao Chen prepared to hold her, the little girl started crying again.

Xiao Chen pointed at her and sternly questioned, "Are you trying to tire your mom to death?"

The little girl didn't react, just clung tightly to Yu Na's clothing. Her clear eyes carried a hint of threat.

Xiao Chen spoke to her nicely, "If you let me hold you, I'll give you something fun to play with afterwards."

She still ignored him.

Yu Na smiled, "How could she understand anything?"

She bent down and nuzzled Xiao Yuan, her voice gentle, "Baby, let daddy hold you for a bit, okay?"

The little one was as stubborn as before.

Xiao Chen simply gave up reasoning with her. "Don't worry, I'll deal with her."

With that said, he forcibly took Xiao Yuan into his own arms.

The little girl's wailing cries instantly shattered the quietness of that moment.

Yu Na was a little worried. "Or maybe I should just keep holding her. I'll take her to the living room to sleep."

Xiao Chen ignored the crying and fussing of the little girl in his arms. He ruffled Yu Na's hair and said, "You're too tired these past two days. Go rest for a bit."

"...Okay, call me if you need anything."

Yu Na kept looking back worriedly three times, but she was truly exhausted and felt like she could sleep until tomorrow once she laid down in bed.

Xiao Chen was the same, having not rested much either, spending time coaxing one baby then the other, and sometimes still having to go to work.

If not for having two mothers around, the young couple would have been unable to cope long ago.

On the crib, Xiao Yu was sleeping soundly.

In late winter going into early spring, the sunlight was gentle. It streamed in through the blinds, cut into tiny neat fragments. His long eyelashes seemed to be painted with a stroke of light, each fine hair clearly visible.

He was so well-behaved when sleeping, perfectly complementing this peaceful afternoon.

Yu Na leaned over the bed watching him for a while, then pulled the blanket up to cover him a bit more.

Normally she would have taken many pictures of him like this, then admired them for a long time afterwards. Her two babies were just so adorable.

But right now, all she wanted was to sleep.

...

On the other hand, Xiao Chen and his sister were getting along very harmoniously.

Seeing that crying loudly didn't work, she gave up struggling.

But she still insisted Xiao Chen walk around holding her. Xiao Chen walked for a bit, then suggested, "Can I sit for a while?"

She ignored him.

Xiao Chen tentatively tried sitting down on the sofa, but before his bottom even touched, the little rascal in his arms started crying again.

"......"

Xiao Chen completely gave up and sprawled limply on the sofa. "Go ahead and cry."

The more the little girl cried, the fiercer she became, hitting and kicking him.

Xiao Chen leaned back lazily, occasionally nodding his head and responding leisurely, "Mm, keep massaging me, it feels great."

Sure enough, the girl's crying gradually weakened and she stopped hitting him.

But Xiao Chen naughtily reminded her, "Hey, why'd you stop massaging? Keep going."

Xiao Yuan: "......"

Originally Xiao Chen was very sleepy, but as soon as the little girl quieted down, he found himself unable to fall asleep.

He looked at the bundle in his arms. Her eyes were wide and awake, with no intention of sleeping.

Xiao Chen simply went to find cartoons for her to watch.

As he opened the drawer to look for the remote control, Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up and she pointed at the photo album in the drawer, making "eee-ya eee-ya" sounds.

Realizing what she meant, Xiao Chen took out the album for her. "You want to see this?"

Xiao Yuan took the album while Xiao Chen turned on the TV.

Father and daughter sat together on the sofa. Daddy was absorbed in watching baby cartoons while daughter clumsily flipped through the photo album in his arms.

Inside were pictures of Xiao Chen and Yu Na together, as well as childhood photos of them both.

Suddenly Xiao Yuan flipped to a photo of Xiao Chen and Yu Na cuddling together on the sofa. She pulled it out.

In the picture, Yu Na was nestled in his embrace while Xiao Chen kissed her cheek.

Seeing what she held in her hand, Xiao Chen was surprised but before he could get a good look, he quickly snatched it away.

He said, "Hey, don't damage this. It's your dad's treasure."

This dad was a bit harsh, unlike mommy who always coaxed and indulged her. Daddy's style was "hey, quiet down."

Tears welled up again in the little girl's eyes. Her mouth drooped pitifully.

But Xiao Chen said, "About to cry again? Be careful of your throat. I won't care if you cry yourself hoarse."

Yet this time the little girl didn't cry. She just watched him yearningly.

That made people feel sorry for her.

Xiao Chen: "......"

He conceded, "The photos of me and your mom together are all your dad's treasures that can't be touched. But—"

He casually pulled out a childhood photo of himself and generously handed it to her, "Here, you can have this one."

Xiao Yuan held back her tears and took the photo. She pointed at the person in the picture and babbled incomprehensibly, impossible to understand what she was saying.

Xiao Chen listlessly humored her, "Mm, I agree I was very handsome."

She started speaking on her own again.

Xiao Chen said, "You already know I was the school heartthrob?"

She went, "Eee-ya eee-ya—"

Xiao Chen replied, "Alright, even though many girls chased me, your dad only loved your mom. Got it?"

She babbled, "Eee-ya eee-ya—"

Xiao Chen answered, "Okay, that's enough praise. You're making me shy."

"......"
