Qingyun is taking care of her child.

Without even thinking, Yu Feijie opened his WeChat Moments and saw that Rong Chengzhou had posted a status update just six minutes ago, showing off his twins.

Yu Feijie, still wrapped in a bath towel, speechlessly raised his hand to rub his forehead, and to prevent Rong Chengzhou from causing any more trouble, he voluntarily gave him a thumbs up and a comment.

Wow! He conceived twins in one go! Brother Rong is amazing!

[The baby is so beautiful! No wonder she's yours and your sister-in-law's child, she's so good-looking!]

Then he turned back to Rong Chengzhou and asked:

Are you satisfied, bro?

There's really no other way.

Rong Chengzhou responded with an "OK/.jpg" gesture.

Yu Feijie saw it, so only Pei Yichuan and Song Shaojun were left. He sat on the sofa in the master bedroom, leisurely and calmly tagging the other two individually.

Jiang Mingxue leaned against the headboard, noticing that he was unusually busy fiddling with his phone, and asked curiously, "Rong Chengzhou, what are you doing?"

Rong Chengzhou raised his eyes and replied calmly, "Pei Yichuan and the others want to see our baby, so send them some photos."

Jiang Mingxue said, "Oh, they seem to care about you quite a bit."

Rong Chengzhou remained noncommittal: "It's alright."

Whether he was forced to show concern or did so voluntarily, he always only cared about the result, not the process.

My phone vibrated; the second message to reply was from Song Shaojun:

[I saw you, I saw you, Rong-ge! You were just talking business with a client, you almost shook the table to death!]

The two little ones are so cute! When can we come to visit them at our home?

Rong Chengzhou didn't reply immediately, but instead sent a few words:

[CM]: There's another one on my WeChat Moments.

Song Shaojun: [Oh, I'll go take a look.]

After clicking to view the photo of the two babies together, I went back to look at the first photo posted by Rong Chengzhou.

Subconsciously sent:

【？】

【Isn't this the same?】

Realizing the problem just seconds after posting, I quickly retracted it and honestly went to the comments section to shower him with compliments:

[Give birth to twins after a week of trying, Rong Ge is awesome! (Thumbs up.jpg)]

Rong Chengzhou replied to his comment: 【My wife is amazing too.】

Song Shaojun: [Okay, okay, your whole family is amazing!]

Rong Chengzhou accepted the praise with satisfaction and then turned to tag Pei Yichuan again.

But they haven't tagged me yet.

[Song Shaojun]: Brother Pei probably won't be able to come back to you today. He's probably in the king-size bed room on the top floor right now.

[CM]: ?

[CM]: Did he get back together with his girlfriend?

[Yu Feijie]: You don't know? He got back together with his girlfriend. They're inseparable, so he definitely doesn't have time for you.

[CM]: Oh, never mind then.

For more than half a month, Rong Chengzhou either accompanied Jiang Mingxue during her pregnancy or stayed with her at the hospital, leaving him no time to attend to his good friend's relationship issues.

Finally, she compromised and sent those photos privately to Pei Yichuan, with a message:

[CM]: Remember to check it when you're done.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of Jingyunhui.

On the bar, half-melted ice cubes were placed in whiskey, the glass covered with the liquid. This was Pei Yichuan's glass, but it was stained with a woman's delicate lipstick mark.

At that very moment, Pei Yichuan's phone, which was placed next to his wine glass, started vibrating incessantly, which was quite inopportune.

Xiang Qing released her lip from his shoulder, leaving two rows of teeth marks with visible red blood.

Pei Yichuan told her to bite, so she really bit him hard.

Her voice remained rational and detached even in this setting. She turned her head and asked in a calm voice:

"Who keeps messaging you? Aren't you going to check?"

They had both drunk very strong whiskey today, but Pei Yichuan seemed to have lost his senses, replying to her in a hoarse voice:

"You're crazy, no need to see me."

Meanwhile, at Song Yunting, Rong Chengzhou was about to put away his phone when he suddenly sneezed.

Jiang Mingxue was sipping her milk when she heard the voice and asked with concern, "Do you have a cold?"

Rong Chengzhou locked his phone and shook his head, saying, "No, maybe someone is jealous."

Jiang Mingxue was both amused and exasperated. She had just received many congratulatory messages from their mutual friends before she saw Rong Chengzhou's post on WeChat Moments.

I don't know how he brags about it to his friends, but sometimes I'm really worried that Rong Chengzhou might be assassinated in the middle of the night.

After finishing her milk, she handed the cup to Rong Chengzhou, looked up and said, "I want to see Youyou and Yueyue."

The two children were constantly being held by the elders all day, and even she, their mother, barely got to hold them.

Rong Chengzhou nodded, took the cup, and tucked the blanket around her: "I'll go get it and show it to you."

A few minutes later, he and the postpartum nanny, Xiao Zhou, each carried one child into the bedroom.

Jiang Mingxue carefully took Youyou first, intending to hold them one by one, but Yueyue seemed to sense her mother's familiar presence and waved her little hands while babbling in the nanny's arms.

The baby's soft, sweet voice is so endearing that it's hard to refuse.

Jiang Mingxue had no choice but to hand Youyou, whom she had only held for a minute, over to Rong Chengzhou, and then turned to hug Yueyue: "Okay baby, Mommy is here to hug you."

As soon as she got close to her mother's warm embrace, little Yueyue smiled broadly, revealing two crescent moons.

Jiang Mingxue's heart melted completely. She lovingly stroked her daughter's smooth cheek and said, "If only I had four hands, I could hold Youyou and Yueyue at the same time."

Rong Chengzhou sat beside her, holding little Rong Qiyou, so she could hear him: "That would be too tiring for you."

"It's alright, I have nothing to do at home anyway."

Jiang Mingxue teased Yueyue and then Youyou, treating both equally.

The laughter of the two babies echoed continuously in the bedroom, making Rong Chengzhou chuckle several times.

The couple played together for a while, but halfway through, little Youyou got hungry. The nanny made a bottle of formula and brought it over, but he wouldn't open his mouth when it was brought to his lips. Instead, he grabbed Jiang Mingxue's clothes and wouldn't let go.

Jiang Mingxue thought for a moment and asked the postpartum nanny, "Does he want to drink breast milk?"

The nanny nodded: "Yes, newborn babies are born with a sucking reflex and will actively seek food on their own."

Jiang Mingxue opened her lips and let out a soft "Ah": "But what if I don't have any breast milk?"

Twins have a high milk demand, and Jiang Mingxue will return to work at the clinic once she has recovered enough from childbirth. She is worried that prolonged breastfeeding will make the two children overly dependent on her, and since her supply is insufficient, she started taking medication to suppress lactation on the third day after giving birth. Now she can't express any milk.

A mother's love can make a rational mother become emotional, unable to resist the longing in her little Youyou's eyes, and she softens her heart for a moment: "How about I stop taking the medication to stop lactation and do partial breastfeeding?"

Before the nanny could answer, Rong Chengzhou grabbed Rong Qiyou's hand and said firmly, "No."

The smile faded, and he looked somewhat serious: "Your own body hasn't recovered yet, so you can't breastfeed."

He had already made up his mind before Jiang Mingxue gave birth. His wife was already physically weak and worked hard at the clinic, so she couldn't even keep up with her own nutrition. How could she possibly give more to two children?

Moreover, if she breastfeeds, the baby will be inseparable from her, waking up crying in the middle of the night when hungry, making it impossible for her to rest.

It's different with baby formula. The nanny and his family can help take care of it, so he can feel more at ease when he returns to the military base.

The postpartum nanny nodded: "Yes, if there is only one child, breastfeeding is manageable, but two children require too much milk, so it's better not to."

Jiang Mingxue calmed down and looked away from Xiao Youyou's pleading eyes: "Okay, then let's feed her formula."

Nanny: "Okay."

After feeding Xiao Youyou her formula, Rong Chengzhou looked up and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. Afraid of disturbing Jiang Mingxue's rest and slow recovery, he reminded her, "It's getting late. I'll take them back. You should go to sleep."

Jiang Mingxue glanced at her watch and realized how quickly time had passed.

She nodded somewhat reluctantly, "Okay."

After saying that, she gently raised her hand to hand Yueyue over to the nanny.

However, it was also the first day that the two babies were playing with their mother, and they were equally reluctant to leave her embrace. Yueyue's little hand tightly gripped one of Jiang Mingxue's fingers and refused to let go.

A pair of watery eyes looked at Jiang Mingxue with a pitiful expression, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Rong Chengzhou tried to pry them apart, but he was afraid of making them cry and having to comfort them, so he didn't dare to use too much force. He couldn't separate the mother and daughter for a long time.

Jiang Mingxue's heart softened immediately, and she stopped Rong Chengzhou: "Forget it, let them sleep with me tonight."

Upon hearing this, the man frowned slightly: "They'll disturb your rest in the middle of the night."

Jiang Mingxue smiled gently, took Xiao Yueyue's hand and shook it lightly, and said softly, "It's okay, I don't want to be separated from them either."

The little girl immediately broke into a smile, her toothless mouth agape, and drool dripped from her lips.

Seeing that she was determined, Rong Chengzhou said nothing more and told the nanny to go back to the nursery to rest. He held little Rong Qiyou and lay down on the other side.

Fortunately, the bed is over two meters long, otherwise it would be a bit crowded for a family of four to lie down.

After covering Jiang Mingxue with a light blanket, Rong Chengzhou turned off the light and habitually reached out to hug her, but instead touched two little babies.

Xiao Youyou and Xiao Yueyue lay in the middle, like a watershed separating the couple.

Even if Rong Chengzhou had long arms, he couldn't reach a strand of his wife's hair.

Although these two dolls are small, he can't throw them under the bed; they're much more of a nuisance than the stinky bear.

Rong Chengzhou felt a heart attack for several seconds, but he tried to comfort himself with optimism.

Fine, on the first night of the mother and her two children's reunion, he'll reluctantly give up his wife for a few hours.

Jiang Mingxue lay on her side, patting Yueyue's tummy very gently, and coaxed softly, "Little Yueyue, be good, Mommy will sleep with you."

On Rong Chengzhou's side, the two children, one big and one small, slept separately and ignored each other.

Only little Rong Qiyou was fluttering her little hands, making bubbling "plop" sounds, also wanting her mother to comfort her.

Jiang Mingxue reminded him, "Rong Chengzhou, pat Youyou."

Rong Chengzhou gave an "oh," turned around, patted the table a few times symbolically, and then remained silent.

He can comfort his wife, but he really doesn't know how to comfort a child. He focused on the part about maternal care in the books he read about childbirth, and he just skimmed through the chapters about comforting children without remembering anything.

His pose for the photo was far from standard, but Xiao Rong Qiyou stopped struggling and calmly stared at the rooftop.

He seemed to be wondering who had captured him.

The bedroom was quiet. Jiang Mingxue could hear Rong Chengzhou patting the child, the force neither too light nor too heavy, the rhythmic and steady sound like a robot's.

I had originally thought he would try to coax her, but then I realized it wasn't realistic and changed my mind.

The two little ones were excited all night and tired, so they fell asleep peacefully between their parents.

Jiang Mingxue's hand was still in the position of patting Xiao Yueyue, and Rong Chengzhou used the moonlight to tuck her hand under the blanket.

The moonlight, like a ribbon, shone through the curtains.

With a lowered gaze, his three most precious treasures in his life came into view.

A slight smile played on his lips; this was the most fulfilling moment of his life.

He stared at the mother and her two children for a long time before slowly closing his eyes.

The family of four gradually fell asleep.

"Wow--"

The peaceful night was broken at two in the morning by a clear cry.

— Xiao Rongqiyou drank too much formula last night and wet his pants.

Rong Chengzhou is always on standby 24 hours a day and has very light sleep. He opened his eyes the moment Xiao Youyou let out her first cry.

The crying was just as loud as the alarm sirens of the base, and Rong Chengzhou's first reaction was that he was in the army.

Afraid of waking Jiang Mingxue, she quickly covered his mouth, put on her shoes amidst Rong Qiyou's buzzing, picked him up, and hurried to the nursery to change his diaper.

"Waaaaah—" Rong Qiyou couldn't even cry properly, feeling extremely wronged, and tears streamed down his face.

Rong Chengzhou listened coldly and put him on the changing table to change his diaper.

Of the two siblings, Rong Qiyou ate the most and excreted the most, requiring ten diaper changes in a single day.

The nanny got up to help when she heard the crying, but Rong Chengzhou had already finished changing Rong Qiyou's clothes without any expression.

Changing diapers takes half an hour in the morning, but only a minute at night.

In just one day, Colonel Rong, who used to fly fighter jets with great fanfare, had become a skilled diaper changer.

Her bottom was no longer damp, and Xiao Youyou's crying gradually stopped.

After washing his hands with disinfectant in the bathroom, Rong Chengzhou carried his smelly son, who was covered in feces and urine, back to the bedroom.

After urinating, Rong Qiyou was full of energy again. He opened his round eyes and looked around, making little "ah ah" sounds. He waved his hands and feet and grabbed Rong Chengzhou's clothes, very excited.

Rong Chengzhou, who always went to bed late, hadn't even slept for two hours yet. He frowned and tightened his jawline, wanting to use his military training methods to discipline his son, but the brat couldn't understand human language, so his military training skills were useless.

With no other choice, he could only compromise and pat his lower abdomen gently, mimicking Jiang Mingxue's movements.

Half an hour later, the little guy became more and more energetic as he was filmed, even licking his fingers until they were covered in saliva.

Rong Chengzhou's brows were furrowed so deeply they almost formed small hills as he stared down at the energetic Rong Qiyou with a threatening look.

Rong Qiyou, unaware of what was going on, also stared back at him.

The father and son stared at each other, speechless for a long time.

In the end, Rong Chengzhou was the first to surrender, his tone almost conciliatory as he softly said, "Sweetie, close your eyes and go to sleep, okay?"

Rong Qiyou truly couldn't understand human speech, and suddenly grinned at him, "Hehe—".

Rong Chengzhou: "......"

At the wedding, Commander Yuan said that he had never seen such a difficult soldier to lead in his life.

This statement can now be broken.

Rong Chengzhou was thinking about finding a time to bring Rong Qiyou to the base for Commander Yuan to test him out, so that he could see clearly that his son was much more difficult to raise than he, the father.

Half an hour later, Rong Qiyou finally realized he was sleepy. He yawned twice with his little mouth open, then turned over and fell asleep.

Rong Chengzhou was briefly relieved and was about to close his eyes to sleep.

"Wah—" Another clear cry rang out.

Jiang Qiyue was hungry.

Rong Chengzhou had just fallen asleep for a second when he got up again and carried Jiang Qiyue to the nursery to make formula.

He was much more patient with his daughter than with his son; although he looked tired, at least his expression was gentle.

After coaxing Jiang Qiyue to finish a bottle of milk in the nursery, I took her to the bathroom, changed her diaper, and then carried her back to the bedroom.

The first thing he looked at upon entering was Jiang Mingxue on the bed.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the brother and sister didn't wake their mother.

After a whole night of fussing, it was already five o'clock. After finally coaxing Jiang Qiyue to sleep, Rong Chengzhou glanced at the dimly lit sky outside the window and realized there was no need to sleep anymore. He changed his clothes and went outside for a run.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Jiang Mingxue woke up with her two children. She looked up and saw Rong Chengzhou, who had just finished showering, leaning against the sofa and dozing off. Hearing the noise from the bed, she looked over.

Two obvious shadows under his eyes, and an undeniable weariness on his cold, handsome face, made him look like he hadn't slept all night.

Jiang Mingxue propped herself up on her arms and asked, "Rong Chengzhou, didn't you sleep well last night?"

With these two little ones around, how could I possibly sleep well?

Like passing a baton, one person gets full while the other gets hungry.

But not wanting Jiang Mingxue to worry, he simply said, "It's alright."

Jiang Mingxue slept well last night, but having guessed something, she said with heartache, "From now on, let the two babies sleep in the nursery."

Rong Chengzhou had no objection to this.

It wasn't that he didn't want to be woken up frequently in the middle of the night; it was mainly because he didn't have many days of vacation, and he preferred to sleep alone with Jiang Mingxue in his arms.

After a day filled with the sounds of ping-pong, Rong Chengzhou's days as a stay-at-home dad officially began.

During the month that Jiang Mingxue was bedridden, she was responsible for changing diapers and making formula for the two babies every day. Sometimes, she would even encounter the unfortunate situation of both siblings wetting their pants at the same time.

The baby's cries echoed like thunder from the nursery.

Rong Chengzhou first placed the most well-behaved Yueyue on the changing table, then tossed Rong Qiyou into the crib and coldly ordered, "Lie down and line up."

After half a month of training, Rong Qiyou has begun to understand human speech.

At first, she was stunned for two seconds, not understanding what was going on, and then she cried even louder with a "waaaah!"

Rong Chengzhou remained unmoved and methodically used a warm, damp cotton towel to wipe his daughter's bottom.

After these days, he has developed the ability to feed and change diapers for another child without showing any emotion while the other child is crying.

After calming down Xiao Yueyue, it was Rong Qiyou's turn to deal with the noisy one.

It's no wonder he favors his daughter; who would favor a son who's always pooping and peeing?

Seemingly sensing her father's disapproval, Rong Qiyou waved her little hands, raised her little feet, and cried even harder.

The nursery was bustling with activity. Jiang Mingxue had just finished a postpartum recovery program with her personal trainer at the gym. Holding a bowl of fish maw and bird's nest soup cooked by Aunt Lian, she leaned against the nursery door watching Rong Chengzhou change the diapers for the two children.

Once, when changing Rong Qiyou's diaper after he soiled his pants, Rong Chengzhou would deliberately wear a dark blue waterproof apron, looking more like a professional dad, his jawline taut as he prepared to watch Rong Qiyou's wriggling and active little bottom.

Seeing the extremely disharmonious scene between the father and his two sons, Jiang Mingxue couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling and revealing two dimples on her lips.

The laughter, crying, and scolding of the family of four were mixed together, and Song Yunting was no longer the lonely place she used to be when she was alone.

--

One month after the birth, the Rong family held a grand full-moon banquet for Rong Qiyou and Jiang Qiyue at Jin Ge. People who were invited to the wedding last year came to congratulate them.

The two babies, dressed in festive red outfits, looked like two mascots. They didn't cry or fuss as the uncles and aunts at the full moon celebration took turns holding them.

Little Yueyue is beautiful and well-behaved, very endearing. Xu Yan hugged her for a while, unable to resist wanting to kiss her, but Rong Chengzhou, who was watching his daughter closely, stopped her, saying, "Yueyue has a weak immune system, don't kiss her."

Xu Yan quickly stopped herself and apologized repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, Yueyue is just too cute, I almost forgot about this."

Children have weak immune systems and are easily infected by bacteria from adults. Yueyue, who was born prematurely and weighed less than four pounds, is more prone to illness than other children and will need to be cared for for several years.

When General Rong and Grandpa Jiang come to our house, they usually just rub their cheeks against the two children's faces; they don't actually kiss them on the lips.

"It's okay." Jiang Mingxue walked over and gently comforted her, then turned to take her daughter's hand and coaxed her softly, "Auntie wants to kiss us because she likes us, right, little Yueyue?"

Today she was wearing a custom-made cheongsam that Rong Chengzhou had asked someone to take her measurements. Because she liked loose-fitting styles, several centimeters of extra room were provided in every part of the circumference. Normally, it would hang loosely, but now, because she had gained some weight during her pregnancy, it fit her exceptionally well, highlighting her curves and giving her more radiance and charm than when she wore cheongsams before.

In addition, by focusing on postpartum recovery, her figure not only did not change shape, but became more balanced and plump than before.

Today, she specially styled her hair in a low bun, with two black hairpins on the bun and her slightly curled black hair hanging down to one side, simple yet exquisite.

The fitted snow-white cheongsam perfectly hugged her slender waist, with a slit revealing a section of her fair calves. As she walked, the hem of the cheongsam swayed gently with her steps, and every smile and gesture exuded an elegant and gentle charm.

Rong Chengzhou stood beside her, glancing sideways at his wife's captivating appearance, his prominent Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

Since Jiang Mingxue became pregnant, they had not had marital relations. Even in the later stages of her pregnancy when her condition was stable, he refrained from sexual intercourse.

He addressed the issue of Jiang Mingxue's progesterone levels only twice, using other methods to alleviate it.

After a full ten months of abstinence, the burning heat within me is rising again.

To avoid losing his composure at the full moon banquet, he subtly shifted his gaze.

Jiang Mingxue turned her head and caught this moment, her smile deepening.

After the full moon celebration, the couple held their two adorable babies and took many commemorative photos with both sets of parents. They then had dinner together before heading home.

After entering the room, Jiang Mingxue handed the two children over to the nanny and took Rong Chengzhou's hand as they returned to the master bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Rong Chengzhou followed her into the room and saw that she locked the door. He thought she had something to discuss with him.

Jiang Mingxue smiled without saying a word, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and then gracefully walked to his side and sat on his lap.

Noticing the man's body stiffen for a moment, she chuckled softly. Then, her hands slowly crept up his neck, a hint of unconscious allure shimmering in her clear eyes:

"Rong Chengzhou, I'm going back to work at the clinic the day after tomorrow. How long are you going to hold out?"
