Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Yu Dong submerged her tired body inside the bathtub Chen Mi set up for her. Even though it wasn't as good as the one in the modern world, Yu Dong knew this was the best she could hope for. She sighed contentedly when the hot water soothed her tired nerves and eased her taut muscles. This was life. 

Even though there were some trials and tribulations now and then, it was alright. Yu Dong laid her head against the headrest of the bathtub and stretched her legs, wriggling her toes to ease the tensed muscles. Though she pretended that it wasn't much trouble to buy those gifts, she had to run around the town a lot before finding the things that she thought her husbands would like.

The sewing bag was custom made and really expensive, the shop only had ten of them, and Yu Dong had to fight a bunch of matrons, going as far as to hold an auction right then and there. For Ye Liu, finding the bow with the correct weight was a challenging task. Her husband had never learned martial arts, and though he was nimble, it would take a long time for him to learn how things like bow worked. As for Chen Mi, his sweets were a throbbing headache. She really hoped Fang Chi only liked roses and gardening and didn't have a sweet tooth because it would be twice as troublesome! (a/n; lol)

Yu Dong closed her eyes and let the hot water soak in her skin, loving the gentle scent of the blueberry bath bomb that she took out from her space. It was good. Life was perfect.

Did she say that life was good? Scratch that part! She takes it back! Now! 

"What are you three doing?" Yu Dong thought that once she got out of the bath, she would just cook something simple and be done for the day. But when she got out of the tub, she found her three husbands locked in some sort of confrontation. 

They were standing in a circle with a look of extreme concentration on their faces as they stared each other down. Yu Dong didn't know what to make of it. What were they doing? Should she be concerned they were standing in the middle of the living room like they were confronting their enemies? 

She didn't intercept in their fights because she knew that the three had good feelings for each other, and even if they fought a little, they would still be together in the end. In fact, their fights could be called simple competition. So, what was this now? Should she go ahead and interfere? She did hear that jealousy could make things troublesome. Maybe if they were blinded by jealousy... then...

But before she could stop any of them from ceasing their confrontation, Yu Dong saw them raise their hands high up like they were going to punch the other. Her eyes widened, and then she strode forward, "Hey! Wait!"

"ROCK! PAPER! SCISSORS!" Cried the three of them. This was something they learned from Yu Dong.

Because Yu Mai and Little bun often refused to eat vegetables, Yu Dong came up with this game to trick them into eating them. Though Little bun was still a baby, he was fed with spiritual water, so his growth was much better compared to other babies of his age. He could easily comprehend what to do and usually participated in the game with great interest. 

It was a simple thing if you lose, you eat the vegetables on the plate. If you win, you only eat meat. But Yu Dong, an adult, was sharper than the two kids and often won, which led to Yu Mai and Little bun eating their vegetables even though they didn't want to. It was a simple game, but it worked its magic. There was no screaming, whining, or crying, yet the two kids had to finish their vegetables. 

So, the altercation that happened before the arrival of Yu Dong, which led to the roshambo (1) contest, actually went like this: Chen Mi was confronted by Shen Li and Ye Liu. Chen Mi resisted, saying he was only doing what he was supposed to do. This incensed Ye Liu, who loudly announced that he would sleep with Yu Dong tonight. Of course, Chen Mi opposed, saying that Ye Liu already got a chance, and so did Shen Li, and now it was his turn to sleep with Yu Dong. Shen Li and Ye Liu opposed him, saying he already got Little bun and should now help his elder brothers get a baby. Chen Mi noted that just because he had Little bun doesn't mean he should be unjustly treated. 

The matter is now fully defined, and finally, the physical fight was pardoned by the legendary rock, paper, and scissors!

[All hail rock, paper, and scissors for saving their brotherhood]

Yu Dong, who went forward to stop punches from being thrown, was stupefied as she watched three grown adults playing roshambo. She had so many questions but swallowed all of them down when she saw her husband's villainous expressions. Whatever, let them do whatever they want to do as long as they are happy.

The hands came down and -

"YIPPIE! I won!" shouted Chen Mi gleefully, hopping up and down as he did his little dance after winning the game. On the other hand, Shen Li and Ye Liu showed somewhat similar expressions of unwillingness. It seemed they wanted to oppose Chen Mi but couldn't because the legendary game decided their fate.

"What's going on?" asked Yu Dong, but she was ignored by her two sullen and one overly excited husband. Then she watched as Chen Mi brushed past them and walked through the small corridor with three rooms consecutively. He entered his room and emerged with a rather incensed and fussy Little bun. 

Then Chen Mi brushed past her again when she opened her mouth and stuffed Little bun in Ye Liu's arms with a grin. "Tonight, please take care of bunbun, brother Liu."

Ye Liu "..." YOU BRAT!

Little bun "...." Excuse me? What was he? A sugar bag? Should he not be asked about his opinion with whom he wants to spend his night? What if he wished to spend time with Daddy Li? Or Mommy?

Yu Dong "..." for the last time, what's going on? 

But she didn't need to ask that question again because Chen Mi turned around and clasped her hands with an excited expression, "Wife! Tonight! It's just you and me!"

Yu Dong ".." oh, so they were deciding who will squeeze her kidney dry tonight.

Editors Note: Roshambo is another name for rock paper scissors.
