And so, the days passed.

Gu Qingqing's belly is getting bigger and bigger.

Fu Jue stayed by Gu Qingqing's side every step of the way, taking care of her and telling her interesting stories that happened outside.

He even sang romantic love songs for her and wrote love letters he had never written before.

Sometimes he would gently kiss her forehead, and sometimes he would hold her hands tightly.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, like Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale, he wondered if she would only wake up when a prince appeared and kissed her.

So, he will be her destined prince.

He silently repeated in his heart: Qingqing, wake up.

Before we knew it, it was Lunar New Year's Eve, and everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Fu Jue and the three Gu brothers spent this year's Lunar New Year together in Gu Qingqing's hospital room.

Because they believed she was still alive.

As night deepened, the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers continued unabated.

"Qingqing, it's the New Year, please wake up soon, okay? Our wedding hasn't been held yet, and our children haven't been born yet. Don't you want to see what they look like? The doctor said they are very beautiful and healthy."

"I miss you so much. I miss you talking to me, calling me 'husband' in a sweet voice. I miss your smile, which always makes me happy. I miss your warm embrace, always holding me from behind. Qingqing, wake up soon."

"We can't live without you. Everyone has been suffering a lot during this time. How could you bear to make us sad? Qingqing, please wake up soon. We miss you so much."

Fu Jue lay beside her, gazing at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart growing heavier.

Winter is here, can spring be late?

——

The snow gradually melted, and the temperature rose day by day.

On sunny days, green shoots sprout from the soil.

Several small birds landed on the dead branches, and in the blink of an eye, green buds and leaves sprouted from the dry branches.

Before you know it, it's late winter and early spring of the following year.

Country D is experiencing warm weather, and bright sunshine is streaming into the hospital ward.

Fu Jue stood by the bed, his eyes completely black.

But his blue eyes shone with gentle joy as he smiled at the two newborn babies beside Gu Qingqing, who were less than twenty-four hours old.

Twins, a boy and a girl.

He is chubby, has fair skin, and is in good health.

Their hair was still very black and thick, not at all like that of newborns, and even the doctors and nurses praised them for their good looks.

These are his and Gu Qingqing's children. She risked her life to enter the operating room yesterday morning and successfully gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, through a cesarean section performed by doctors and nurses.

The two children were crying so loudly that they moved him and Gu Jin, along with several other grown men standing at the operating room door, to tears.

Grandpa Fu even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the heavens to thank all the gods for protecting the child's safe birth. This was the first time in decades that he had ever been superstitious.

Gu Jin and Gu Mu looked at the exquisitely beautiful twins and commented that the baby boy looked like Fu Jue, while the baby girl resembled Gu Qingqing.

This is what makes them most gratified.

The two children were born safely.

They are their hope.

Although she was still unconscious, at least she still had a heartbeat and was breathing.

Fu Jue gazed at Gu Qingqing, who was sleeping like Sleeping Beauty.

Qingqing, how long are you going to sleep?

Last night, out of fear, he stayed up all night watching over her, afraid that something might happen to her after she gave birth and leave him.

After all, having undergone a cesarean section, the risk level of this surgery is neither too high nor too low.

Seeing that her condition was stabilizing, he finally felt relieved of his worries, fears, and anxieties.

Gu Jin rested in the small room next door; it was his turn to take care of her tonight.

After getting up, he saw Fu Jue standing by his hospital bed. "It's dawn, you should go and rest. What if your health collapses?"

Seeing Fu Jue's pale face, Gu Jin felt very upset.

Over the past six months, Fu Jue has made many sacrifices, which they have all witnessed and deeply appreciated.

I just hope Gu Qingqing can wake up soon.

"I want to see them a little longer." Fu Jue couldn't bear to rest, even though he spent the whole night watching over Gu Qingqing and the twins.

Suddenly, he felt dizzy and fell backward.

"Fu Jue—" Gu Jin was startled, but reacted quickly and hugged him.

He slept for three days and three nights before waking up.

The three Gu brothers, Gu Jin, and Gu Qingqing, were taking care of her without allowing Fu Jue to get enough rest for extended periods. The two children had already lost their mother, and they couldn't lose their father as well.

Therefore, the three of them, together with Old Master Fu, managed to change Fu Jue's thinking and daily routine.

Time flies, like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

Four years later—

In late spring and early summer, the sun shines brightly.

The lush pink roses climb the walls of a fairytale-like castle and stop at the window of a quiet room, quietly blooming in beauty.

A gentle breeze wafted in, carrying the sweet fragrance of roses into the room.

Fu Jue sat in the pastoral-style room, a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of roses blowing in, turning the pages of the English book in his hand one by one. He looked up and glanced at the blooming roses on the windowsill.

There was no infatuation in his eyes, only deep affection.

He glanced indifferently at the roses, then turned back to look at Gu Qingqing's beautiful sleeping face, her skin fair and rosy, delicate and flawless.

Her thick eyelashes were long and curled, her nose was small, and her lips had an alluring pink hue.

She is still as beautiful as she was ten years ago; time seems to have left no trace on her face.

She doesn't look like a 29-year-old woman, a mother of two.

People who don't know her would most likely think she's a young, beautiful, and innocent girl who has just come of age.
