Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 480: Daddy’s Gonna Cry Too!

With Xia Yuan having paved the way as the pioneer, by the ti Lin Youxi’s due date arrived, i Fang had beco thoroughly adept—calmly preparing contingency plans for every possible scenario.

In the end, Lin Youxi’s delivery proceeded smoothly without any complications.

A second blossoming—another little princess.

Xiaoxixi weighed only 2.65 kg at birth, significantly smaller than her sister’s 3.4 kg, and her cries were noticeably weaker too.

This was partly due to Lin Youxi’s own physical constitution.

It ant i Fang and Lin Youxi would need to pay extra attention to Xiaoxixi’s health.

Although the elders seed sowhat uneasy about children sharing nas with their parents, the family ultimately settled the matter through a democratic vote.

After tallying the ballots, the official nas were decided: i Xiaoyuan for Little Yuanbao and i Zhixi for Little Xixi.

Children are the crystallization of parental love and a testant to the enduring friendship between i Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin Youxi. Thus, i Fang hoped their nas would carry echoes of their mothers’ identities.

After giving birth, Xia Yuan had spent nearly two months recuperating at a postnatal care center in Pengcheng’s forested suburbs. By the ti Lin Youxi delivered, Xia Yuan had already completed her zuoyuezi [postpartum confinent period], but not wanting her to endure the sa loneliness, Xia Yuan chose to stay at the center with Lin Youxi.

Though initially dismayed by Little Yuanbao’s wrinkled, monkey-like appearance, Xia Yuan quickly accepted reality—after all, she’s my own flesh and blood, and I’ll cherish her.

Xia Yuan poured all her maternal love into Little Yuanbao, and under her devoted care, the baby grew plumper and more radiant by the day, filling Xia Yuan with increasing joy.

Another month passed. Throughout Lin Youxi’s zuoyuezi, both babies remained healthy, with no infections or unexpected test results.

Today was the day i Fang would bring his wives ho to begin full-ti parenting.

While the postnatal center had been comfortable, the presence of other mothers—and i Fang, that unemployed deadbeat who visited daily—made everything awkward. Their trio attracted far too much attention.

Before leaving, i Fang thoroughly disinfected their new family SUV and customized the seats for optimal comfort and spaciousness tailored to Chinese mothers. Even his father, i Lijun, who wanted to admire the new car, was shooed away with disdain.

“Well done, son. You’ve reached… maybe half of your dad’s level as a doting husband.”

i Lijun clasped his hands behind his back, adopting a bureaucratic air. “I took ti off to visit my granddaughters, and this is the thanks I get…”

“Stop boasting. Were you ever this attentive to ?” Xiang Xiaoxia pinched him sharply. “I rember being heavily pregnant with Ah Fang and cooking for you.”

“Work was hectic back then! And the elders were unwell. Tis have changed—we’re better off now.”

i Lijun patted his wife’s shoulder. “But truly… you’ve worked hard all these years.”

“Enough of this—the kids are watching.”

“So what? They’ve seen worse.”

i Lijun winked at their wide-eyed daughter. “Right, Xiao Ya?”

“Ugh… disgusting.”

i Ya pinched her nose and fled. If I want to ship couples, I’ll stick to my brother and sisters-in-law!

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, each cradling a baby, erged at the center’s entrance under staff escort. Suppressing his adoration, i Fang helped them into the car, then kissed both wives on the cheek. 𝘳áΝȏＢƐs

“This entire year—thank you both for your sacrifices!”

“It wasn’t just us. Ah Fang sacrificed too…” Lin Youxi smiled.

Xia Yuan teased, “Why does this feel like a reunion? Weren’t you here until 10 PM last night?”

“Hocoming rituals matter.”

i Fang gently stroked the babies’ impossibly soft cheeks. “Besides, it’s their first ti going ho. They must be excited too.”

“Ah, I’d almost forgotten… sigh… Where are we living now?”

“The mountain villa in Longkou is ideal—quiet yet close to downtown and the beach. Easy access for walks and shopping…”

“Sounds perfect. Youxi’s thoughts?”

“Ah Fang decides.”

Lin Youxi soothed the fussing Xiaoxixi with soft tsk-tsk sounds, lulling her to sleep.

i Fang stared, srized.

“What’s with the dazing, Ah Fang?”

“Youxi… you’ve beco so gentle since Xiaoxixi was born.” His voice softened. “Like you’ve switched into ‘Mom Mode.’”

“Are you saying I lacked maternal instincts before?”

“No! That’s not—”

Lin Youxi unbuttoned her blouse to nurse Xiaoxixi. “So Ah Fang ans I wasn’t gentle enough previously.”

“I definitely didn’t an that either!”

His flustered denials made both wives burst into laughter—startling Little Yuanbao awake with a wail. As Xia Yuan hurried to feed her, i Fang stopped distracting them and started the car.

Lin Youxi glanced at him in the rearview mirror while nursing.

“Ah Fang… truthfully, you’ve been the hardest-working this past year. Thank you.”

“Not just planning our schedules, but constantly soothing our moods.”

“And at the center—no other father was as diligent as you.”

“Especially with two babies and two mothers.”

“Mm… I agree.” Xia Yuan nodded.

i Fang drove cheerfully, basking in their praise.

“Keep complinting —I won’t get arrogant.”

“Then…”

Lin Youxi murmured, “You’ve endured a lot too, haven’t you? Only a few months in the middle when we could…”

“Th-that’s fine, haha.”

i Fang chuckled. “I feel like I’ve outgrown that constantly horny phase. My focus now is raising Xiaoyuan and Zhixi well—giving them a happier childhood than ours! So, I—”

He launched into grand visions of parenting: developntal milestones, nutritional plans, activity schedules. But midway through, he noticed a critical issue—

His wives had tuned him out.

“Ah Fang, stop!”

Xia Yuan interrupted urgently. “We get your dad-passion, but—”

“We’re barely 24 this year. Have you completely lost interest in marital activities already?”

Her plaintive tone filled i Fang with guilt.

“N-no! That’s not it!”

“Then let’s see if little Ah Fang truly ans it—”

“Youxi! You just finished zuoyuezi! Your body’s still weak, you shouldn’t—”

“I’m ready!”

Xia Yuan blurted, then lowered her voice. “At the center, I already… ahem… Didn’t want Youxi feeling left out.”

“Really? You should’ve told Ah Fang earlier. I wouldn’t have minded—better than wasting it…”

As their banter continued, i Fang’s self-reproach deepened.

I’m scum. Absolute scum.

i Fang, how could you degenerate like this?

After they gave birth, I only focused on the babies—completely neglecting the needs of these incredible mothers!

Not even a dog would be this inconsiderate!

“Ahem… so, should we celebrate tonight?”

i Fang glanced at Xia Yuan. “Maybe… gaming?”

“Yes! Yes!“

Xia Yuan humd as she rocked the now-sleeping Little Yuanbao, her voice softening. “Haven’t played in ages—I’m probably rusty.”

“Youxi?”

“Obviously a trio queue.” Lin Youxi smirked. “I’ll support. Let Yuan Yuan carry.”

“Can Yuan Yuan carry, though? Doubtful.”

i Fang teased, “Back in our duo days, she was dead weight—I hard-carried every match. Doubt much has changed—”

“Hmph! Such arrogance!”

Xia Yuan raised a fist in protest—then rembered the baby in her arms and settled for a fierce whisper:

“Just you wait! Yuan Yuan-mama will teach Little Ah Fang a lesson!”

“Bring it on! Show what you’ve got!”

——

Postpartum, the mothers focused on recovery and fitness. With professional guidance and i Fang’s ticulous care, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi regained their figures swiftly—slightly rounder yet more womanly, which i Fang praised as uniquely enchanting.

During breastfeeding, Lin Youxi occasionally had low supply, while Xia Yuan’s milk cafeterias were overproductive. Thus, Xiaoxixi sotis sampled the other mother’s wares—with excess stored in the fridge by i Fang.

Diaper changes, midnight wake-ups, temperature checks—every night was a cycle of lulling the babies to shallow sleep, always alert for discomfort.

Exhausting, yet i Fang embraced his role as Super Dad with joy.

——

Four months later: Spring 2019.

Nearly weaned, Little Yuanbao now toddled in a walker, enthusiastically babbling “mama, baba”—lting i Fang’s heart. anwhile, Xiaoxixi could sit up independently, observing the world quietly.

Compared to her vivacious sister, Xiaoxixi was serene, rarely crying. She seed content to study her surroundings alone.

With the babies less clingy, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi regained so freedom, resuming personal projects.

Their careers weren’t abandoned—just scaled back. After all, having purpose brought joy.

Xia Yuan revived her VTuber persona Yuan-chan, sharing snippets of Yuanbao’s life on Weibo. Fans quickly deduced her hiatus was due to childbirth.

In contrast, the already-private Lin Youxi maintained a low profile, focusing on internal developer conferences at Yuanxi Interactive. Drawing on 12 years of coding experience, she lectured on best practices and maintenance habits.

As for the company’s mastermind, Webmaster i Fang? He’d fully morphed into a little-padded-jacket devotee, blissfully playing Super Dad at ho.

“Look here, Xiaoyuan! Look at Daddy—”

“Ba… ba…“

Cradling Xiaoxixi in one arm, i Fang clapped encouragingly as Little Yuanbao crawled toward him.

Her hair had grown into a tiny wolf-cut, and several milk teeth had erged. Noticing his gestures, she locked onto him instantly.

“No crawling! Daddy will help you up—there! Yes! Stand strong! Good girl! Daddy’s proud!”

Little Yuanbao waddled forward eagerly—then headbutted i Fang’s chin. Ignoring his own pain, he fretted over her forehead, but she just giggled, drooling, eyes crinkled with delight.

Her extroverted antics terrified the introverted Xiaoxixi.

Wide-eyed, she stared at her sister, then buried her face in i Fang’s shoulder—peeking out only when Yuanbao withdrew.

Amused, Yuanbao kept repeating the poke-and-retreat ga, her mischievous giggles making even i Fang intervene.

“Alright, Xiaoyuan, stop bullying ii—here, have a pacifier.”

As he placated Yuanbao, Xia Yuan descended the stairs post-stream, witnessing the scene.

“What’s so fun? Let Mama join!”

She clapped at i Fang. “Xiaoyuan, Zhixi—co to Yuan-mama! Only one at a ti!“

Yuanbao grinned around her pacifier, while Xiaoxixi peeked out—only to retreat upon seeing Xia Yuan.

“What? You’re all clinging to Baba now? Yuan-mama gets nothing? I’ll cry!”

Despite her coaxing, neither baby budged.

Seeing her pout, i Fang hurried to diate.

“I want you!”

He set both babies down.

Yuanbao imdiately scampered off to hug a teddy bear, while Xiaoxixi gaped as her parents cuddled—her shocked expression priceless.

Just then, Lin Youxi returned ho, scooping up the bewildered Xiaoxixi.

“What are you doing? Zhixi’s crying.”

“Oh? Oh! She is! How rare.”

i Fang wiped Xiaoxixi’s tears, then suddenly thod-acted, whimpering:

“Wuwu… Does Zhixi love Babathat much? Getting jealous? But Baba has many babies to care for… It’s so hard… Baba’s gonna cry too!”

“Baba! What’s that supposed to an?!”

Xia Yuan huffed—then noticed Yuanbao crawling over to offer her teddy bear, as if consoling her.

And so, another day passed for this family of five.
