For some reason, the more Wang An looked at his two children, the more affection he felt in his heart.
Although they still looked quite ugly right now because they hadn't filled out yet, Wang An truly could no longer perceive them as ugly; instead, he felt they were exceptionally cute.
Seeing Wang An staring at the two children, Mu Xueqing asked him in a daze
"Why aren't you sleeping? Aren't you tired?"
Wang An shook his head, glanced at Mu Xueqing, and then looked at the two children with the face of a devoted father, saying
"I'm not tired. I just want to keep watching them like this, guarding them until they grow up, start their own families, and establish their careers."
These words were absolutely Wang An's most honest thoughts at the moment, without a single shred of falsehood.
Hearing this, Mu Xueqing smiled faintly and said sleepily
"You still have to sleep. You can continue guarding them tomorrow."
Wang An nodded and said
"Mm-hmm, I'll watch for a little longer. I'll go to sleep after a little while more."
Mu Xueqing looked at the children and muttered to herself
"My breasts are feeling tight; why aren't these two hungry yet?"
It must be said that Mu Xueqing's constitution was truly excellent; only a few hours after the children were born, her milk had already come in in large quantities.
Of course, this situation was partly related to individual constitution, and partly due to daily nutrition, which played a significant role.
If a woman were malnourished, it would be nearly impossible for her milk to come in quickly.
After Mu Xueqing spoke, Wang An checked the children's diapers and found they were still clean, so he said to Mu Xueqing
"They should be getting hungry soon, right?"
Newborns normally get hungry very quickly, but these two had eaten right when they were born and hadn't woken up hungry since then, which was honestly quite strange.
As luck would have it, just as Wang An finished speaking, the older brother let out a loud wail.
Consequently, Mu Xueqing picked up the brother, lifted her clothes, and began to feed him.
However, after only three or four minutes, the younger sister also started crying.
This suddenly left Mu Xueqing at a loss.
The main issue was that although Mu Xueqing had two "milk tanks," while the brother was eating, the sister couldn't eat even if she wanted to.
Thus, Wang An picked up the sister, saying
"Hey, Yao Yao, my big girl, are you hungry? Come, Daddy will hold you for a bit. We'll eat after your brother is finished, okay?"
Unfortunately, when babies are hungry, they are very impatient. The sister didn't listen to Wang An's words at all; instead, her crying became even louder.
After coaxing her for a short while, the sister's crying still didn't stop. Having no other choice, Mu Xueqing said to Wang An
"How about letting the girl have a few sips first? Our son can eat later; let them take turns."
Looking at his daughter who was wailing loudly, Wang An brought her over to Mu Xueqing.
Sure enough, the moment the daughter started nursing, the crying stopped instantly. She gave a small sniffle and began drinking the milk desperately.
However, the brother had been enjoying his meal; how could he agree to suddenly be stopped?
So, the brother, unable to nurse, started crying again.
Wang An was definitely not as gentle with his son as he was with his daughter.
Thus, Wang An said to the brother
"Look at you, so useless. You have no sense of being an older brother at all. It'll be your turn once your sister is done. Stop crying, every single day it's like this."
But Wang An's words were like passing wind; the brother didn't listen at all and continued to cry. His voice was full of vigor, even louder than the sister's, leaving Wang An in a state of frantic confusion.
Out of necessity, after feeding the sister for a while, Mu Xueqing swapped with Wang An again.
And so, with one "milk tank" per person, each child got three minutes, and the couple continuously swapped the children in their arms.
Fortunately, Mu Xueqing's milk was very abundant; even after the two little ones were full and fell asleep, there was still some left.
Seeing the two little ones successfully fall asleep, Wang An and Mu Xueqing breathed a sigh of relief.
It had to be said that while fraternal twins were great, taking care of them was truly damn exhausting; it could drive a normal person crazy.
Looking at the smiling faces of the two little ones, Wang An said to Mu Xueqing
"How about starting from the next meal, we give the children formula? One eats breast milk, and the other eats formula; no favoritism, just alternate them back and forth."
Mu Xueqing looked at the two fast-asleep children with a worried expression and said
"There's enough milk right now, why feed them formula? We'll feed them formula later when the milk isn't enough."
After a pause, Mu Xueqing suddenly said
"It would be great if they could wake up at different times. That way, neither of them would wail. Oh, what should we do?"
Whether they were fraternal or identical twins, there was actually something called a psychic connection.
Basically, they got hungry together and cried together; it was truly a worrying matter.
Facing this problem, Wang An also had no great solution. After thinking for a moment, he suggested a bad idea
"How about we wake them up early to feed them? After a while, they'll automatically develop the habit."
Mu Xueqing rolled her eyes at Wang An and said
"Forget it. How old are the children that you'd wake them up early? If you want to do it, you do it; you're the father, after all."
Wang An looked at the worried Mu Xueqing and said sheepishly
"I won't do it. Those are my own daughter and son; I'm their biological father. I can't bring myself to do it."
To be perfectly honest, Wang An really couldn't bring himself to wake his own children from their sleep. Actually, even if they were someone else's children, he probably couldn't do it; after all, what wrong could newborns have done?
However, after Mu Xueqing heard this, her two beautiful large eyes instantly widened, and she said with a face full of anger
"What? So I *can* bring myself to do it? Am I their stepmother?"
It had to be admitted that Wang An's words were truly asking for a beating; anyone hearing them would want to give him a couple of kicks.
Mu Xueqing was the mother in recovery, so Mu Xueqing was the boss. As soon as he saw her get angry, Wang An instantly softened. With a face full of apologetic smiles, he walked behind Mu Xueqing and began massaging her back, saying
"You're just talking nonsense. You are absolutely their biological mother, the most biological mother possible, hehehe... Wifey, are you hungry? I bought eggs and millet; I'll brew some porridge and boil two eggs for you, okay?"
Mu Xueqing rolled her eyes at Wang An and said
"I'm hungry, but I don't want to eat. There's no salt at all; eating makes me feel heartburn."
It must be said that if there is no salt in the food, it really does make one feel heartburn after eating.
Wang An said with a smile
"I bought sugar. Adding some sugar to the porridge will make it taste good."
Mu Xueqing smacked her lips and nodded.
Thanks to "Black A-Niu Ge" for the tip, thank you, thank you!
