Serena's gaze brightened. "Nana! Oh, and my cute little Jin!"
She picked Jin in her arms from the stroller and began swaying him in the air.
"Whoosh!"
"Baaaaaaaaa" Jin laughed.
Serena giggled.
Jianyu quietly stared at her playing with Jin and sighed.
"You are sighing for the second ti now," Jinhai raised his brow.
Jianyu scratched his head. "Ughwellit's nothing."
Nana alternated her gaze between Serena and Jianyu and whispered to her, "Why does it seem that you two are in a cold war?"
Serena shrugged. "Because we are."
"Why?"
Her lips stretched into a thin line. Nana understood and patted her shoulder. "It's okay. Tell whenever you are ready."
"En"
"Aunt Nana! Did you look at the new cool stuff I brought? We will have so much fun with these at the picnic!"
Nana chuckled and kissed his cheek. "Yes, we will have loads of fun."
Zixin giggled.
Jianyu said, "Alright, kids. Sit tight. I am starting the car."
"Yay!!!" Everybody cheered.
---
Almost two hours later, they reached the base of a beautiful mountain, surrounded by nothing but breathtaking nature.
Jian said, "Ah there! I see Uncle Shin and Aunt Huian. And there are ixiu, irong, and Bao too!"
"Open the door, Uncle!" Nian loudly said.
"Hang on, kids. At least let park the car."
"Boooooooo."
The kids got out first and ran towards them.
"Jian, Nian, Zixin!" irong chirped.
"Nuo! Jun!" ixiu laughed and waved her hand.
"Baobao!" Nuo hopped.
Little Bao toddled his way too.
"Bao, walk carefully," Huian sighed and stopped the hyperactive boy from falling.
"I want to goooooo"
"Yes, you can go but don't run. The ground is slippery. What if you trip?"
"I will not twip!" Bao said in determination.
Huian looked at Shin in grievance. "You should be helping now!"
Shin chuckled. "Alright. Alright." He looked at Bao and said, "Are you sure you will not trip? Because if you fell and get hurt, thenyou see all the big injections I have, right? I would have to poke them into you to treat you."
Two-year-old Bao stiffened and was on the verge of crying. His big eyes got watery. "No, DadaNeedles pwick a lot. I don't want them."
Shin had an urge to laugh, seeing his cute face turning all fearful. He ruffled his head. "So, walk carefully."
Bao nodded and slowly trotted his way now with a cautious expression on his face.
Huian's mouth twitched. "You are so evil, scaring my poor son with injections."
Shin was speechless. "Well, I stopped him from running around, didn't I?"
"You should have been gentle and not scare him," she glared at him and reprimanded.
So, I still get a lecture even though I helped?
"Big brother! Huian!" Nana greeted them.
"Hey, little sis. And how are my little nephews and niece?"
"Uncle, see my new dress!" Nuo tugged his jeans and then twirled around.
Shin's heart lted, and he picked her up. "You look adorable."
Nuo's gaze sparkled. "Uncle looks handso too!" And she kissed his cheek.
"Aww, thank you, dear."
On the other side, ixiu and irong pulled Jun's hand. "Don't just stand all alone there, Junjun!"
Jun's gaze darkened. "Don't call Junjun."
The twin girls giggled, their ponytails fluttering in the air.
ixiu and irong were Shin and Huian's twin daughters who were born just a month before Jun was. So, they were like elder sisters to him and Nuo and now Jin too.
Two years later, the twin girls got their younger brother when Huian gave birth to Bao just a few days before Nuo was born.
irong said, "Junjun is so cute when he gets mad when we call him Junjun!"
ixiu pinched his cheek, and he beca even more furious. "Don't call Junjun."
Nuo pouted, "But big bro, Junjun is cute."
"It's my na, so I have the final say in the matter."
"Junjun~~~" Jian and Nian teased him.
Jun's mouth twitched. Bao slowly ca walking, apparently still terrified by Shin's threat. " Bro Junjun"
Jun shot a dark glare at him, but Bao was unaffected. He adorably tugged his pants and smiled. "Bro Junjun"
Jun's mouth opened to say sothing, but seeing Bao's cute expression, he said nothing.
Zixin ca and proudly said, "Look here! These are all my camping tools! Dada said that we would build the camp house together!"
Nuo and Bao's eyes sparkled. "Camp house?"
Zixin nodded. "It's a triangle-shaped house where we can stay inside. It's fun!"
ixiu raised her hands. "We brought them too!"
irong added. "Dada brought the pink ones for us with Mickey mouse ears."
Jian grinned. "Nian and mine is a cool ninja tent."
Nian mumbled. "I wanted the Pikachu one, though."
As the kids got busy showing what they brought, the adults on the other side were engaged in their own conversation, mostly since Jin was the center of everyone's attention.
Huian smiled. "Ah, no matter how many tis I see Jin, it still isn't enough."
Jianyu asked, "Serena, did you see my-"
"I don't know."
Jianyu coughed. "I didn't even say what I-"
"Nevertheless, I don't know."
"..."
His brow twitched.
Huian and Shin curiously observed them. They eyed Jinhai and Nana.
An argunt?
Nana helplessly nodded. Jinhai shrugged.
Shin cleared his throat. "Now that we all are here let's go. Huian and I have found the perfect spot for our picnic." He looked back at all the children. "Hey, kids! Let's start walking."
Throughout the whole way, Serena kept her distance from Jianyu and didn't even spare a glance at him. She was only sticking to Nana and Huian.
Shin asked, "Dude, what happened? You two aren't even trying to hide that you are fighting. She looks so angry at you."
Jinhai chuckled. "What sin did you do?"
Jianyu dryly looked at them. "I didn't do anything"
"She cannot be that angry for no reason."
"Well"
Zixin then called. "Dada! We reached the place!"
They ca out of the bushes and saw a vast area of the place covered with luscious green grass and tall trees and having all sorts of colorful flowers dancing gently with the wind.
Nana widened her eyes. "It's so beautiful."
