  • by Christopher Brown Outside the door, Jie was pacing back and forth restlessly. He was anxious to know what Ru was gonna say to Juan but when he placed the ear against the door to get even a hint of what’s happening inside, his son gave him an accusatory look. "Dad, you’re old enough to know that eavesdropp-," Bao had yet to complete his sentence when Jie placed his hand over his mouth. "Can you for once stop lecturing me?" Jie was feeling really frustrated now. One of his twins was busy lecturing him while the…
  • by Christopher Brown Inside Juan’s room, there was an intense silence in the dark room where no light was turned on. One could barely hear the sound of sniveling. The little girl was curled up on her bed. Tears were falling down her face and because she rubbed her eyes too frequently, her eyes were getting red from it. Suddenly, a beam of light projected on the wall, lighting up the room before Juan heard the voice of her godmother, "Queen An! Wait, I can’t see my little Queen. Where is she?" Hearing that voice, Juan…
  • by Christopher Brown As Jie came inside the house and went to his daughter’s room, he could see Bao knocking on the door persistently. "Juju, open the door!" However, his calling was not being heard by his dear sister who was constantly ignoring him now. "Why are you pushing me away? I didn’t even do anything!" "Exactly, Bobo! You didn’t do anything! You didn’t speak up for me either!" came Juan’s angry voice from inside the room. "Why would you even speak up? You’d also take Xiao Song’s side. Go to…
  • by Christopher Brown Xu Mey was baffled at the way her Juan talked to her. She really couldn’t believe that her daughter was blaming her. And for what? It was her fault for making Xiao Song cry! But instead of apologizing, she was arguing with her mother!" "I’m really disappointed in her today. I can’t believe my daughter could be this rude," Xu Mey’s words made Jie’s body stiff. He was about to place his hand on her shoulder as a way to show that he was with her but her words... "Ah-Jie, this is why I always…
  • by Christopher Brown Looking at Jie, Azalea’s eyes sparkled as if she had seen her savior. How glad she was that her brother came to the rescue. "Are you okay, Zelie?" Jie first questioned his sister who was turning pale. He could only imagine how much of mental pressure this duo of his must have brought to her. You see, handling only one of the twins was already a huge accomplishment. But actually managing to stand before the duo was not that easy, to begin with! Not just their weird questions, even their eyes brought…
  • by Christopher Brown "Hey, hey, hey! Stop both of you!" Juan and Bao both stopped when they heard Azalea’s voice and looked at her. "Don’t you want to spend time with your aunt?" The twins shared a look before they answered simultaneously, "Sorry, but can you please speak normally. We can’t take you seriously with that babyish voice." Azalea’s eyes widened at their response. Yes, she was talking in a very cutesie voice like talking to a baby but she was just trying to be cute and funny. She was leaning down…
  • by Christopher Brown "Why are you standing here all alone?" Xiamu looked up to see his brother-in-law walking up to his side. "Shouldn’t you be out there? It’s a party for you and Zelie." Xiamu was rubbing his hands strangely as he avoided looking at Jie and said, "I know. But it’s a little..." "Overwhelming," Jie finished his sentence for him. And Xiamu nodded his head in response. "Everyone’s been congratulating since the time I came. I don’t know how to say this..." he sighed in exasperation. "You…
  • by Christopher Brown "How’s my favorite grandson and granddaughter? Grandma missed you both so much!" He Susu had squished the twins while hugging them. She was beaming looking at them. "Juan missed grandma Su as well," replied Juan gently and politely just like her etiquette teacher had been nagging her to do. Seeing how stiffly her brother was just standing there. She had to tug at his sleeve and gesture with her eyes to behave. "Me too," those two words barely came out of Bao’s mouth but they were enough to…
  • by Christopher Brown The door was slammed with the full force and locked before Bao came to threw a shopping bag at his sister. Juan caught the shopping bag with a frown. "What’s this? And why do you look like someone ruffled your feathers or something?" She was rummaging through the shopping bag as she went on, "Not that you don’t always look this annoyed but... Right now, you look like you’re ready to..." "Should I throw you out of the room as well, dear sister?" He didn’t even allow his sister to complete her…
  • by Christopher Brown Just as Little Juan decided to drag her brother out to play, Jie went to check up on his dearest wife. When he entered the room, Xu Mey was talking to someone on the phone. He went to the closet to change his clothes and when he came out, she was still busy on her phone. She wasn’t on a call now but she was texting with a grin on her face. "Baby..." he called out softly. "Hmm..." she hummed in reply distractedly. "I’m gonna take kids out for ice cream, come with us." Xu Mey shook her head…
