LIGHTNOVELWORLD 68
Recently, the two little guys, Milo and Yale, for some reason, insisted on talking to their grandpa at least twice a day, morning and evening. If they missed a day, they made sure to catch up the next day.
No matter how He Qin subtly probed, the little ones kept their mouths tightly shut, only emphasizing their longing to see their grandpa.
He Qin couldn’t even rest peacefully at home with their constant nagging.
Unable to handle them, He Qin had to ask Ryan, who had trade relations with Earth, to find an excuse and bring Ivan and Roy aboard the Walker family’s starship used for trade.
“Male Father, Female Father, eat faster, Grandpa is almost here.” Milo washed his and his brother’s chopsticks and bowls, anxiously circling around He Qin.
This morning, the Walker family’s starship would arrive at the Imperial Harbor.
This news got even Milo, who usually loved to sleep in, up on time. Yale, who wasn’t good at eating, also finished a whole bowl of breakfast without any stress.
“Alright, let Male Father take another bite, okay?”
“Then Male Father, eat faster, I will give you five more minutes.”
“Okay, okay.” Saying this, he finished the ham sandwich made by Rhys in big bites.
The two stinky brats, once they had their grandpa, forgot about their male father.
Milo followed behind, while Yale sat on his father’s strong arm. Under the urging voice of the little ones that couldn’t be suppressed, they arrived an entire hour early.
Under He Qin’s “wild” educational methods, the little guys, despite being male zergs, lacked the typical delicacy of male zergs.
From obediently standing to later sitting anywhere, even though the sun was strong, they didn’t complain much. Their round, bulging eyes were focused intently on the direction from which the ship would arrive..
“Beep…” As the alarm sounded, the massive starship bearing the Walker family crest approached closer and closer.
Milo and Yale, who had just been dozing off, suddenly sat up straight. The two little guys flanked He Qin on either side, nervously gripping his hand with all their might.
Just like their Female Father, they tended to grip his hand tightly when nervous.
However, Milo was only six years old, and his strength was unexpectedly strong, making He Qin’s bones ache a bit.
“Wow, Grandpa, Grandpa, Milo is here!” When the hatch opened, Milo vigorously waved his little hand, bouncing up and down, afraid that the person he wanted to see wouldn’t notice him.
As soon as they disembarked from the starship, Ivan saw the little radish heads frantically waving at him. His tense face suddenly broke into a smile, releasing Roy’s hand and swiftly rushing towards his adorable grandsons.
“Grandpa, Milo missed you so much.”
“Yale too.”
“Yeah, Grandpa missed Milo and Yale a lot too.” Holding the two furry little heads close, Ivan’s voice trembled.
The little male zergs eagerly hugged and clung to Ivan, vying to be the first to be held in the female zerg’s embrace.
Although the alliance between the Empire and Earth was mature, entry for both zergs arriving on Earth and humans arriving on the zerg homeworld required relevant issued documents.
It was not easy for the zergs who had married and moved to Earth to return to the Empire for a visit. Over the years, Ivan had only come back once, and he and Roy had barely spent a week before being urgently summoned back to Earth by the President.
Compared to their Female Father, who would scold and punish them, and their daily-visible male father, the little ones naturally missed their grandpa more, who spoiled them in every way and made various Earth snacks.
“Roy, long time no see.”
“He Qin, have you grown taller again?”
They vigorously slapped each other’s shoulders, the female zergs nearby could hear the loud sound of their palms hitting their bodies, and they could imagine how hard they were.
On this side, Roy and He Qin were also expressing their emotions of missing each other in their own way.
“Female Father…”
“Rhys…”
The female zergs and their sons awkwardly looked at each other. Ivan took a few steps forward and extended his arms to embrace Rhys.
As the host, He Qin took Roy around to various fun places in the Empire for several days.
Of course, for these two men who were obsessed with weapons, their idea of fun places were places like training rooms and armories used for female zerg training and combat.
Rhys also took a few days off specifically to accompany his female father.
“Grandpa, can we have ice cream today?”
“Milo wants ice cream? Grandpa will make it for you.”
“Yeah, Grandpa is the best! Milo wants the biggest scoop of ice cream.”
“Yale wants some too.”
Ivan brought many Earth utensils, and these days he’s been cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the male cubs without repeating a dish. The little ones can also enjoy various Earth snacks.
For example, that ice-cold and sweet little sphere is one of Milo and Yale’s favorite snacks.
Children, once they encounter the affection of their elders, tend to become proud and forget themselves. Sure enough, the two of them ate nearly five ice cream balls and were still clamoring for Ivan to make more for them.
“Kids, you’ve already eaten a lot today. How about Grandpa makes more for you tomorrow?”
“No, Milo only actually ate a bit more than one, the rest was snatched by Little Guai.”
Actually, Little Guai only ate half an ice cream ball, which Ivan personally fed to the leopard. But Milo blamed Little Guai to get more tasty treats.
“Behave, you’ve already eaten plenty. How about Grandpa makes fresh milk cakes for you?” Rhys was so well-behaved when he was young; there was never such a time he threw a tantrum. Ivan was starting to sweat from trying to pacify the child.
“No, no.”
“Grandpa, Yale also wants to eat ice cream.” Now even little Yale was captivated.
The little ones clearly weren’t afraid of this gentle female elder who had always been kind to them. No amount of persuasion worked, not even with Yale, who was usually obedient and well-behaved, pursing his lips alongside the female elder to express his desire for ice cream.
“Ah-ooh.” Without a sound, Little Guai went upstairs, grabbed Rhys’ clothes while he was tidying the bedroom, and forcefully led the female zerg to the living room.
“What’s wrong?” Upon leaving the room, Rhys vaguely heard Milo shouting loudly.
In the kitchen, Rhys finally saw his six-year-old cub, who was already clinging to his female father’s thigh, coquettishly pleading and saying he wanted to eat ice cream.
“Milo, Yale, how much ice cream did you eat today?”
The zerg star temperature was naturally higher than Earth’s, and Rhys could understand children craving cool and sweet foods. However, the male lord had specifically instructed not to let the young ones eat more ice cream before leaving early that morning, so he wouldn’t allow the young ones to continue indulging.
“Female Father, my brother and I want to eat one more, just one.”
Upon hearing the female father’s questioning, Milo climbed down from the female zerg’s leg and ran back to Rhys, trying to use his somewhat He Qin-like appearance to persuade Rhys to agree.
Imitating the expressions of his male and female parents when they were coquettish, he also tried to kiss his female parent’s face on tiptoe, but he was too short to cooperate with Rhys, who gave up.
Milo once heard his male father’s coquettish voice and his female father’s refusal when he wanted to eat something at night.
He secretly pushed open the door and saw the male father who had taken off his clothes looking at the female father with such an expression, saying something, and then the female father would forget any principles and even if he could make a painful cry, he would make it. Demands of male father.
Would female father agree if he did this themselves?
“No, your male father originally didn’t want anyone to eat too much, listen to him.”
Rhys had a cold face and didn’t eat this set at all.
“Ah, ah, ah, the female father doesn’t love Milo anymore, I want to eat ice cream, I want to eat.”
Milo is the first zerg baby of He Qin and Rhys. Faced with this lovely little life, they are inexperienced fathers. The rules and correct guidance are a little late, and don’t know where he learned that crying can achieve the goal of wanting something.
When big brother cried like this, reserved Yale’s eyes also filled with tears, and he just quietly sobbed.
“Grandpa will make ice cream for you right away, don’t cry, your eyes will swell up if you cry more.”
Like every indulgent elder with children, Ivan couldn’t bear to see the tears of the little male zergs. He crouched down and quickly gave in.
“Milo, what are you causing a fuss about again?”
Just outside the small courtyard, the huge cries of Milo could be heard, and vaguely, the words ‘ice cream’ and ‘want’ could be heard.
Having guessed the reason roughly, He Qin knew Milo in his house would not give up if he didn’t get what he wanted, the expression on his face showed a hint of smiling, he frowned.
The chirping and crying stopped, and the angry male father was scary, and even punished them.
“Making a fuss again about wanting ice cream? What did I say before I left? Do you remember?”
Dragging a chair, He Qin sat in front of the little zergs and scolded these immature little ones.
Milo and Yale, unlike the pampered young male zergs of the zerg species, were primarily raised at home by He Qin, so even if Rhys had any objections, he would still be checked by male lord while children were absent.
In general, when He Qin educates the little zergs, he won’t interrupt or cover for them.
“Hic, Male Father, I’m sorry, it’s Milo’s fault.”
“I’m sorry, Male Father, I was also wrong.”
In front of the male father who is the head of the family, if you make a mistake, you should admit it quickly to avoid punishment, which is the experience Milo has gained from being punished countless times over the past decade.
“Tell me, what did you do wrong? Admitting mistakes voluntarily is what good children do.”
“Um, I shouldn’t lie, Little Guai didn’t steal my ice cream.”
“I shouldn’t have made things difficult for Grandpa.”
“I shouldn’t have threatened to cry to female father to give us ice cream.”
Milo and Yale, one after another, admitted their mistakes like pouring beans.
“Alright, apologize to Grandpa and female father again. Considering Grandpa and Mr. Roy’s sake, facing the wall and copying rules are forgiven. You’re banned from eating ice cream for a week.”
The two brothers held hands nervously, waiting for punishment, making He Qin exert great effort to suppress the smile that had crept up, finally maintaining his dignity in front of the children.
“Female Father, I’m sorry.”
“Grandpa, I’m sorry.”
The two brothers inherited He Qin’s forgiving nature. Ten minutes later, they forgot they had just been scolded by their male father and climbed back onto He Qin, pestering him to play games.
“Male Father, let’s play the game of riding horses and fighting.”
“Then, Yale and I will be a team. Milo, whom will you team up with?”
“I’ll team up with you, little Milo. Let’s see how we can defeat your male father.” Roy found an opportunity to bond closely with the kids and volunteered to become Milo’s warhorse.
“I’m going to defeat you, Male Father.”
“You little rascal, Yale, teach your brother a good lesson for your male father.”
Soon, the living room was filled with laughter and joy again.
Years later, a rational male zerg asked He Qin why both of his little cubs were such gentlemen, obedient and sensible, completely unlike the imperial male zergs who grew up spoiled and unreasonable.
He Qin replied, “I guess my children inherited my resilience.”
“Resilience?”
“Meaning thick-skinned.”
The male zerg collaborator’s face froze, thinking His Highness Green was joking and didn’t take it seriously.
But only He Qin and Rhys knew he was speaking the truth.
Author’s note: That night, Rhys checked various times to ensure the doors were locked before willing to lie down in bed.
He Qin asked, “What are you doing?”
Ruis was very serious, “My lord, we can’t act impulsively anymore, and we must always lock the doors.”
“Why?” They used to do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted.
“Milo might accidentally come across it. The kids are growing up, so let’s be more cautious.”
So, poor He Qin had no choice but to heed his wife’s advice and only ’embrace’ his lovely Rhys when the doors were securely locked.
