[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

"Thank you, I like you too." Ah Chu rubbed Xia Tian's hair, "Can we tell the secret now?"

"I'm done, the secret is that I like you." Xia Tian blinked innocently.

"I don't believe it! If you told Uncle Aji this was what he told you yesterday, he would have thrown you out the window."

This seriously distorts the facts!Ah Ci was so angry at the door that he wanted to punch the wall, but Xia Tian answered even more outrageously: "Yes, I sneaked in after I was thrown out."

"Amazing!" Ah Chu gave her a thumbs up, "But you have to be careful, Uncle Ah Ci is coming back soon."

"Then I'll climb back out of the window first!" After Xia Tian finished speaking, he climbed onto the window sill, ready to go out.

Ah Chu watched her climb up and did not stop her.

Ah Ci hurried in, hugged Xia Tian, ​​and questioned his brother: "How can you just watch her climb the window? What if she really falls? Is her father your friend or your enemy?"

"You're here! It's okay." Ah Chu said lightly, "I saw you when you first arrived at the door!"

"Then why are you pretending you didn't see it?"

"I'm just curious about what makes you willing to enter the house." Ah Chu said regretfully, "It seems that the child's safety is more important than my face."

"Do you think that when I saw her kissing you, I would rush in and throw her out of the window?" Ah Ci was still holding Xia Tian to argue with him.

Uncle Niu heard the sound of arguing upstairs, and hurried up to persuade the fight.He saw Ah Ci holding Xia Tian by the window, claiming to throw her out, and hurriedly persuaded: "Ah Ci, don't argue with the child! And it's someone else's child, please let it go."

Ah Chu laughed out loud, while Ah Ci asked Uncle Niu in disbelief, "In your heart, am I so narrow-minded?"

Based on the principle of solving problems, Uncle Niu opened his mouth and said, "Put the child down, you are still generous in Uncle Niu's heart!"

Seeing Uncle Niu's attitude as an expert negotiator, Ah Ci put the child on the ground very speechlessly.

As soon as Xia Tian's feet touched the ground, he immediately ran away: "I'll go see if Ai Zhong and Ai Hua are fighting!"

Divide into two rooms and close them, only if they can fight will there be ghosts!Ah Ci watched the little girl run out, then looked at Uncle Niu who was still standing at the door, and Uncle Niu immediately found an excuse to evacuate: "I'll go and see the three of them!" Before leaving, he consciously closed the door tightly.

Ah Ci turned around and asked his brother, "What are you doing one by one? Can I still eat them?"

Ah Chu nodded and said: "Xia should understand this way, but Uncle Niu probably thinks that you want to eat me now, so he will kindly help you close the door."

Ah Ci pressed his forehead in frustration, almost forgetting that in Uncle Niu's mind, he has always been a bastard who would tear apart his elder brother.

Ah Chu smiled again, before asking: "Did you come back to eat some time? Are you still going to work in the afternoon?"

"I won't go. I don't think I have anything to do, so I asked for leave." Ah Ci sat by the bed and said, "How do you feel now?"

"It's much better." Ah Chu replied, leaning comfortably on the pillow.

Ah Ci then asked, "Why did you suddenly have a fever?"

Ah Chu replied innocently: "This is beyond my control."

"Xia Yuechun said that you have been under a lot of pressure recently. What's going on?"

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just a few things to catch up with." Ah Chu inserted his fingers into his hair and pinched his scalp.

Seeing that he spoke vaguely, Ah Ci asked again: "Is it related to Xia Tian?"

"It can be regarded as a relationship, mainly because I chatted with her father, which touched me a lot... I have known him for many years. Basically, we have the same experience and similar expectations. We have strong personalities, so there will always be Take care of each other. It was also his suggestion that I take financial investment courses... But he is a person who lives in the moment. He told me that dreams are to go against the river of time to pursue what you want. Once you are satisfied with the status quo, It will be swept away by the current, and there will be nothing to hold on to."

"It sounds reasonable, but if this is the reason why he dumped his daughter to you and went to romance by himself, the philosophy becomes a fool... I don't think there is anything to worry about, even if the circumstances are the same, after all, you two are For different people, there is no need to embarrass yourself according to other people's code of conduct."

"Yeah." Ah Chu sighed, "Just like you and I, even though we have the same mother, we are not the same person after all."

Ah Ci said displeasedly, "What is the relationship between me and you, and what is the relationship between him and you? Can you compare them like this?"

"We are twin brothers, so naturally we cannot be compared with other people. I was thinking, if you were the one my mother brought to England, would you have the troubles I have now? Will our fates be completely reversed?"

Aciluo thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe. At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, but habits are far away. If the living environment is changed, the character and destiny will also change."

Ah Chu raised his eyebrows: "Yo, you even picked up the Three Character Classic, it's not like your style!"

Ah Ci was slightly embarrassed: "It's Ai Zhong Aihua who learned it in kindergarten recently. After listening to it too much, I'll say it fluently."

"The teaching in this kindergarten is really good, but the children are old enough to go to preschool. I just signed up the two of them a few days ago, and now it seems that I have to make up for Xia Tian's share." Ah Chu calmly threw out A bombshell.

"You mean, you want to live with our parents in summer?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on when her father comes to pick her up." Ah Chu looked at his younger brother and asked amusedly, "Do you have any objections?"

Ah Ci decisively replied: "Yes! I'm under a lot of pressure now, and I feel like I'm about to have a fever!"

"Don't think too much, this child is quite obedient, it shouldn't be a bother to manage it..."

"It's not that I think too much, it's that you think too little!" Ah Ci said while scratching on the bed with his fingers, "Our family is all old men, and now you have brought back a little girl, and she is a girl who already has a baby. Gender-conscious, a girl who can confess and ask for kisses! Not to mention anything else, have you thought about giving her a bath?"

"Why do you think about this question? I used to study medicine. Let alone this kind of unattractive little girl, even a fully developed naked girl lying on the operating table has no distracting thoughts at all." Ah Chu said naturally, "So It won't be embarrassing to say you don't think too much."

"I don't have any other thoughts about her!" Ah Ci couldn't bear it anymore, "I mean, Xia Tian will mind, she matures earlier than ordinary children!"

"If she minds, she can wash it herself." Ah Chu shrugged after finishing speaking.

Ah Ci twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that when he was reasoning with his brother, any words would be powerless.

"By the way... Ah Ci, have you never seen a naked woman before?" Ah Chu added after asking, "The ones in the book don't count."

"I've seen it." Ah Ci bit his lip and added without confidence, "Damn."

……

Ah Ci is indeed overthinking, Xia Tian's ability to take care of herself is much better than that of her peers, such trivial matters as bathing and dressing are not a problem at all, this may be a survival skill that must be possessed as an "illegitimate daughter who lost her mother".

But every night before going to bed, she would stick to Ah Chu and tell bedtime stories, and Ah Chu never tired of it, but Ah Ci was quite critical: "When did you ever care so much about your child?"

"Raising a daughter is different from raising a son." Ah Chu said with a smile, "Fairy tales are not suitable for boys. I don't want Aizhong and Aihua to become necrophilic after listening to fairy tales, arguing to find Snow White's corpse kiss."

Ah Ci twitched the corner of his mouth: "Then you are not afraid that Xia Tian will find poisonous apples to eat after listening to the story?"

"On the contrary, I am teaching her not to eat food indiscriminately, especially the food given by her stepmother."

"It's beautifully black!" Ah Ci said sincerely, with Xia Tian's heart, it must be enough for her future stepmother to drink a few pots.

After a few days like this, the enrollment procedures of Aizhong, Aihua, and Xiaxia are all completed, and the three children go to preschool together, and they are not afraid of strangers as they keep each other company.It's just that Ah Ci encountered an unprecedented thorny problem - he made Xia Tian's braids very messy.

"Aren't you considering changing your hairstyle?" Ah Ci asked for Xia Tian's opinion after failing for the third time.

Xia Tian looked at himself in the mirror, unwilling to compromise: "But yesterday Uncle Ah Chu told the story of Rapunzel, I want to comb her long braid..."

"Then go find your Uncle Ah Chu to cast spells." Ah Ci threw the comb on the table and quit.

Ah Chu was answering the phone in the living room, when he saw this, he hurriedly ended the call and came over.Seeing that the time was running out, and there was no way to meet Xia Tian's hairstyle requirements, so he simply gave up the challenge.He grabbed the comb and combed it casually for a few times, then put his right hand on his heart, bent down and did a gentleman's etiquette: "The protagonist of today's story is Cinderella."

Xia Tian reluctantly accepted this setting: "Where is my glass shoe?"

"That will have to wait until the prince holds a ball. There is no such announcement today." Ah Chu said regretfully.

After coaxing the three children into the car, Ah Ci gave his brother a thumbs up and said in a low voice, "You still have a way! Let's talk about "Cinderella" every night from now on."

"That's not okay, it will be badly reviewed." Ah Chu shook his head, and said, "I'm going to talk about "The Daughter of the Sea" for a few more days."

……

In the evening, Ah Ci was on duty. When he was on patrol, he passed by a children's clothing store. He saw a red beret and bought it. He also picked up two plaid peaked caps, which matched the overalls of his nephews just right.When he got back to the office, he called Ah Chu: "Brother, did you tell Xia Tian about "Cinderella"? Tomorrow, you can change something fresh and tell about "Little Red Riding Hood". Wearing a hat is easier than braiding..."

"Well, that's a good idea, but I won't be the one to tell the bedtime story tomorrow night - Xia Tian's father is on the plane tomorrow afternoon, so he will pick her up at school directly when he comes back."

"Really?" Ah Ci pinched the beret subconsciously, with disappointment in his tone, "He finally remembered his daughter!"

"Look at what you said! He wants to treat our family to thank our family for taking care of Xia Tian. Remember to make room tomorrow night."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll complain about him in person?"

"If you really don't want to go, I won't force you."

"Why don't you want to go? I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and I must teach him face to face at the dinner table!"

"...Forget it, let me attend on your behalf."

After hanging up the phone, Ah Ci played minesweeper distractedly. At an average speed of 5 seconds per game, he died very tragically N times before he dropped the mouse and closed his eyes to rest.In the past few days, Xia Tian has been relatively close to Ah Chu, not very clinging to him.He is also too lazy to get along with this kind of slender and sensitive little girl, and basically has no communication, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't have feelings of reluctance.But he just felt unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't explain why.

After get off work the next day, Ah Ci returned home after having dinner in the cafeteria, only to find out that Uncle Niu deliberately did not go to the banquet with Ah Chu and the others in order to cook for him at home.This made him very sorry, so he lied that he hadn't eaten yet, bit the bullet and ate the second dinner, and praised Uncle Niu's cooking skills.

After the meal, he felt a little unwell, so he went for a walk in the garden to digest his food. After a while, he saw Liu Asi driving his car into the yard.

The two children got off the back seat and jumped into the house. Ah Chu was the last to get out of the car, took the car keys, and let Ah Si go back to rest.

Seeing that he was propping his forehead with one hand, Ah Ci seemed a little drunk, so he hurried over to help him: "How much did you drink?"

"Don't worry, I'm not drunk, I just feel a little tired all of a sudden." Ah Chu smiled helplessly, "Why are you standing around in the garden?"

"It's fine after dinner, just take a stroll... Do you want to go for a walk together?"

"Okay." Ah Chu readily agreed.They walked side by side in the backyard by the hazy moonlight.

Ah Ci observed the expression on his side face, and asked tentatively, "Don't you want to part with summer?"

Ah Chu didn't deny it, and asked with a smile, "How do you know?"

"The telepathy between the twins! I've been annoyed all day for no reason, and after thinking about it, this is the most likely possibility!"

"Then why didn't you sense it before?"

"It happened that I was also depressed before, so I didn't think much about it... Did I hit the mark? You just can't bear summer, right?"

"Well, these days I really regard her as my own daughter." Ah Chu said with emotion, "Now I seem to understand the feeling of marrying a daughter."

Ah Ci laughed: "Pfft! Returning someone else's daughter to her own father, how can it be considered as marrying a daughter?"

"You don't know, when she saw her dad at the school gate, she rushed towards her with bright eyes, completely ignoring me." Ah Chu smacked his lips, feeling very disappointed, "It turns out that I have always been a stand-in, this feeling is really indescribable... ... other people's children, the pain is in vain!"

"Otherwise, what can I do? Let her ignore her own father and rush at you? That's really a white-eyed wolf!" Ah Ci bumped his arm with his fist, "As the saying goes, a child is for your own good, and it is useless to hurt others strength."

"What about you?" Ah Chu raised his eyebrows and stared at him, as if trying to see through his inner thoughts, "Isn't it a waste of energy to take care of Ai Zhong Aihua from morning to night?"

"No, the paternity test is enough to prove that they are my children." Ah Ci said calmly, without the slightest joking or reluctance.
