Xiao Changyi reached the bedside, took off his shoes and outer clothing, and then lay down right in the middle of An Jing and the four children.
As for why it wasn't An Jing lying in the middle of him and the four children, that was because sometimes the children would wake up during their sleep and wouldn't cry—they would just crawl onto their bodies. An Jing couldn't quite handle all four children climbing on top of her, which is why Xiao Changyi ended up sleeping in the middle.
Seeing that An Yiqing and An Yiyun, the two little rascals, were still being naughty and refusing to take their nap, Xiao Changyi pondered for a moment before still asking An Jing, "Can I hit them?"
An Jing: "..."
Xiao Changyi continued, "I've seen other people's children getting hit when they misbehave."
An Jing looked at her two sons who were still acting up and murmured, "Qinger, Yun Er are so adorable, how could you bear to hit them?"
