Xiao Changyi reached the bedside, took off his shoes and outer clothing, and then lay down right in the middle of An Jing and the four children.
As for why it wasn’t An Jing lying in the middle of him and the four children, that was because sometimes the children would wake up during their sleep and wouldn’t cry—they would just crawl onto their bodies. An Jing couldn’t quite handle all four children climbing on top of her, which is why Xiao Changyi ended up sleeping in the middle.
Seeing that An Yiqing and An Yiyun, the two little rascals, were still being naughty and refusing to take their nap, Xiao Changyi pondered for a moment before still asking An Jing, "Can I hit them?"
Xiao Changyi continued, "I’ve seen other people’s children getting hit when they misbehave."
An Jing looked at her two sons who were still acting up and murmured, "Qinger, Yun Er are so adorable, how could you bear to hit them?"
Xiao Changyi Also looked at An Yiqing and An Yiyun. Although they were a bit naughty, they indeed were cute. Yet, he said, "It’s not you, what would I hesitate to hit for?"
An Jing was immediately sweetened by his words but Also felt a bit angry. She quickly flipped over to press down on Xiao Changyi, and as she pinned him down on the bed, she sat on top of him and pretended to huff, "No hitting! They’re our children and haven’t done anything terribly wrong, why would you hit them? Can’t you be more patient? You’re just lacking patience!"
Xiao Changyi actually never really wanted to hit the children. They were still so young; he couldn’t possibly do it.
It was just that he suddenly remembered seeing other parents hit their children, so he asked the question.
Xiao Changyi just lay there, letting An Jing sit on him, his lips parting slightly, "With our four children, I’ve been very patient." He might lack patience, but it depended on with whom.
With her and their children, he was quite patient.
And with her, he had all the patience in the world.
An Jing burst into laughter, highly amused, "Yes, you are very patient with our four kids. If it were someone else’s children, you wouldn’t even bother with them, right?"
Xiao Changyi actually nodded, "Mhm."
An Jing found it even funnier but didn’t know what else to say. Her husband just had this kind of nature, unconcerned with worldly manners and ignorant of them as well.
It was at this time that An Yiqing and An Yiqing, originally lying on the bed gnawing on their little hands, saw An Jing sitting on top of Xiao Changyi and, joining in the excitement, they started to climb onto him, too.
And then, they Also sat on Xiao Changyi’s body.
"Hahaha... Husband, look at Yun Er and Qinger... Hahaha... so funny..." An Jing sat on Xiao Changyi, and seeing two more little ones following suit and sitting behind her—afraid of losing their balance, their tiny hands clutching at her clothes tightly—she immediately burst into laughter.
Xiao Changyi had noticed the two little ones climbing on him long ago, and he didn’t stop them, curious to see what they would do. True to his expectation, they mimicked their mother, sitting on top of him.
That wasn’t all; the two little ones Also giggled, looking delighted beyond measure.
Watching his wife and two children sitting on him, Xiao Changyi’s cool eyes softened.
Su Yi Jing and Su Yixing were ready for their nap, but upon seeing An Jing, An Yiyun, and An Yiqing all sitting on Xiao Changyi, they couldn’t bring themselves to sleep quietly either. However, they didn’t climb on Xiao Changyi’s body but rolled towards him and then lay down tightly next to him, their father.
