"They're born! They're born!"
"I'm a father!"
When the sound of a baby crying rang out.
Jin Mian's mood could be described as reaching an unprecedented state of excitement!
Having lived two lives.
In a true sense, he finally had children of his own.
The seven Enshrined Priests nearby, seeing Jin Mian's happy appearance.
All looked at each other and smiled.
Wearing expressions of "we understand, we understand."
That beyond-words joy of becoming a father for the first time.
They had also experienced it personally back then.
But among them.
Four old bachelors had mixed in.
That's right!
We're talking about you four: Qingluan, Bright Feather, Qian Jun, and Xiangmo!
The four of them combined were hundreds of years old, and Jin Mian and Qian Renxue, whom they had watched grow up, already had kids.
Yet they were still bachelors.
The moment he heard the child's cry.
Jin Mian couldn't wait and pushed the door open to go see his wife and children.
But just as he pushed the door open a crack.
It was shut by Ye Lingling: "No! You can't come in yet."
This left Jin Mian confused.
Wait, what do you mean?
Haven't the children already been born?
It's one thing for these old fogies behind me to not be allowed in.
But why won't you let me, the father, go in and take a look?
There was nothing he could do.
Jin Mian could only squat to the side.
And continue waiting.
After a short while.
He heard another baby's cry ring out.
"Wah—wah!"
Jin Mian was stunned for 0.1 seconds.
Then he quickly realized.
Twins!!!
No wonder they made him wait; there was another one.
Soon.
The door opened.
Several maidservants walked out of the room.
Without a word.
Jin Mian rushed straight into the room.
He saw Qian Renxue with a happy smile on her face, holding a baby in each arm.
Ye Lingling was to the side, teasing the two babies.
Seeing Jin Mian arrive, she quickly walked up and said, "Brother Mian, congratulations! Sister Xue has given birth to a pair of fraternal twins."
Jin Mian sat down by the bedside.
He took Qian Renxue's hand and gently kissed her forehead.
"Xue'er, you've worked hard."
"How do you feel? Is your body alright?"
Seeing that the first thing Jin Mian cared about upon entering was her and not the children.
Qian Renxue felt a warmth in her heart.
She smiled tenderly: "Don't worry, it's just giving birth, what could happen?"
"Quick, look at our children."
She carefully handed the two babies in her arms to Jin Mian.
The two little ones had stopped crying by now.
And were sleeping quietly.
Jin Mian took the babies and examined them closely.
Because they were newborns.
The two small babies looked wrinkled and weren't very good-looking.
But Jin Mian didn't look away.
That connection from the bloodline made him feel as if he was holding the whole World in his hands.
After the room was mostly tidied up.
The seven Enshrined Priests rushed in frantically.
Among them.
Jin E was the most anxious, followed by Qian Daoliu.
As soon as they entered the room.
Jin E saw the babies wrapped in quilts in Jin Mian's arms.
Without a word.
After taking his great-grandson and great-granddaughter.
He kicked Jin Mian aside.
"Do you even know how to hold them?"
Then he looked down, gazing dotingly at the two babies in his arms.
At that moment.
The connection through blood.
Completely activated Jin E's grandparental doting attribute.
The smile on his face hadn't stopped since he entered the door.
Qian Daoliu saw Jin E holding one in each arm.
He loved his great-granddaughter immensely.
He approached to negotiate: "In-law, it's not convenient for you to hold two babies; give one to me."
Hearing this.
Jin E acted as if he were guarding against a thief.
He took a step back.
"Old Qian, don't try to get cozy."
"Although you are the great-maternal-grandfather of these two children, maternal is maternal after all; how can you be closer than me, the Great Grandfather?"
"So it's fine if I hold them. Besides, they're just two small babies; I'm not tired."
"You can just look."
These words.
Almost made Qian Daoliu's beard go crooked with anger.
He pointed at Jin E and said, "Holy crap, you..."
Originally, Qian Daoliu was going to use some harmonious language to have a good argument with Jin E.
But then he thought.
The other party was holding two newborn great-grandchildren.
It might not be appropriate to say such things.
So he forced himself to swallow the curses.
He changed his tone and said, "Old Second, you're being really unfair. What's the big deal if you let me hold one of the two children?"
"Furthermore, which bastard stipulated that a great-maternal-grandfather isn't close to his great-grandchildren?"
"If I find out, I'll have to use the heaven measuring sword to split him in two!"
"Besides, the two children were born to my granddaughter; why can't I hold them?"
"Quickly, give me one."
If you're slow, you miss out.
That was exactly Qian Daoliu's situation.
At this moment, he was filled with regret.
If only he had been faster just now.
He never expected.
That fellow Jin E would be so shameless.
Monopolizing both children.
Facing all of Qian Daoliu's arguments.
Jin Mian treated them like wind passing his ears.
In one ear and out the other.
Summarized in two words: Not giving!
"Lao Da, it's not that I won't give them to you, it's just that I'm afraid your appearance will scare these two children." In order to monopolize the two children.
Jin E had started using looks as an excuse.
Unexpectedly.
After hearing this, Qian Daoliu immediately retorted, "Give me a break! In terms of looks, I'm much more handsome than you. If I'm scary, then you're terrifying."
"Nonsense!"
"I have such a kind and friendly face; how could I be terrifying?"
"Lao Da, you're simply acting like someone who can't reach the grapes and says the skin is sour!"
Jin E still shook his head, saying no!
Qian Daoliu was so anxious he stomped his feet, waving his hands in the air as he shouted, "Old Second, we're family after all. Quickly give me one, or don't blame me for beating you up."
"Let's fight then! Whoever wins today gets the right to hold them both in his arms for the whole day."
"Bring it on!"
Seeing the two old men looking like they were about to fight.
Jin Mian hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
"That's enough. The two of you combined are at least three hundred years old."
"How can you only think about fighting every day?"
"Grandpa, you too. What's the harm in letting Great Grandfather hold one?"
Hearing this.
Jin E said, "You don't understand. Lao Da's hands are meant for holding swords; his killing intent is too heavy. I'm afraid he'll scare the children."
"..."
Jin Mian was completely speechless.
What did he mean by "hands that hold swords have heavy killing intent" and "can't hold a child" and "scaring the child into crying"?
What kind of reason was that?
Finally, under Jin Mian's mediation and Qian Daoliu's persistent arguments.
Jin E finally relented.
Reluctantly, he handed one of the children to Qian Daoliu.
"By the way, have you thought of names for the two children?" Jin E asked curiously.
Jin Mian said confidently, "Of course! I've already thought of them long ago."
Before he could finish.
Ye Lingling and Qian Renxue said in unison, "Wait a moment!"
???
Jin Mian was bewildered: "What's wrong? Why such a sudden reaction from both of you?"
"I've already thought of the children's names."
"The older brother will be called Jin Xuehan."
"The younger sister will be called Jin Xuening."
Hearing the names Jin Mian gave the two children, the two women were momentarily stunned.
These names were actually quite nice.
And so, they had no further objections...
