Iseul was clearly struggling, but he did not seem injured, so Qiong Xing decided that as punishment, he would leave him there for a while.
"Mom, Rui and Yue are not moving."
A few minutes later, Iseul had been safely rescued, and now lay twitching on the ground while the twins poked at him playfully as if it were a game.
"It looks like he fell asleep. Why don't you leave Iseul alone and go continue climbing trees with Papa?"
"We will!"
With that, the twins immediately lost interest and ran off.
Qiong Xing watched them leave while holding Lian on his lap, then looked down at Iseul sprawled in front of him.
"He said he would make Mama go ouchie-ouchie."
"Yes. That was dangerous. I almost got crushed. Unlike you, I am not built sturdy, so please think before you rush at me."
"I'm sorry."
Iseul immediately apologized to both Lian and Qiong Xing.
Since he seemed to have reflected, that was good enough.
