Because I simply love you

Chapter 479: Picnic (2)

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 time now,” Jinhai raised his brow.

Jianyu scratched his head. “Ugh…well…it’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 me 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 Meixiu, Meirong, and Bao too!”

“Open the door, Uncle!” Nian loudly said.

“Hang on, kids. At least let me park the car.”

“Boooooooo….”

The kids got out first and ran towards them.

“Jian, Nian, Zixin!” Meirong chirped.

“Nuo! Jun!” Meixiu 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 me 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, then…you 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, Dada…Needles 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 melted, and he picked her up. “You look adorable.”

Nuo’s gaze sparkled. “Uncle looks handsome too!” And she kissed his cheek.

“Aww, thank you, dear.”

On the other side, Meixiu and Meirong pulled Jun’s hand. “Don’t just stand all alone there, Junjun!”

Jun’s gaze darkened. “Don’t call me Junjun.”

The twin girls giggled, their ponytails fluttering in the air.

Meixiu and Meirong 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.

Meirong said, “Junjun is so cute when he gets mad when we call him Junjun!”

Meixiu pinched his cheek, and he became even more furious. “Don’t call me Junjun.”

Nuo pouted, “But big bro, Junjun is cute.”

“It’s my name, so I have the final say in the matter.”

“Junjun~~~” Jian and Nian teased him.

Jun’s mouth twitched. Bao slowly came 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 something, but seeing Bao’s cute expression, he said nothing.

Zixin came 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!”

Meixiu raised her hands. “We brought them too!”

Meirong 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 times 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 argument?

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 came 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.”
