Three hours later.

The nurse came out holding a baby wrapped in a pink swaddle. "Congratulations, it's a healthy baby girl!"

Shi Heng's hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold the child.

When he looked down at his daughter's eyes and eyebrows, he suddenly froze.

That's exactly what Gu Youran looked like in the baby photo!

In the ward, Su Niannian leaned against the head of the bed, watching Shi Heng holding his daughter carefully, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Have you thought of a name?" she asked softly.

Shi Heng raised his head, his eyes still red, "I've thought it through."

He walked to the bedside and gently placed the child in his wife's arms, "Call Shi Nianyou."

Su Niannian was slightly stunned.

"Nian, that's your name." Shi Heng's voice was a little choked, "You... is the most precious treasure in my life."

Su Qian wiped her tears aside, "That's so beautiful! What's your nickname?"

Shi Heng leaned over and placed a soft kiss on his daughter's forehead. "Your nickname is Youbao."

He looked at Su Niannian and said, "Just like I called you back then."

Su Niannian smiled and looked down at the baby in her arms, "Nianyou...our little Youbao..."

Shi Mo suddenly remembered something, "Wait, if I call you 'Youbao' from now on, am I calling you mom or sister?"

The whole family laughed.

Su Qian took out her phone and said, "No, this historic moment must be recorded!"

…

In the blink of an eye, Shi Nianyou has already reached a hundred days old.

Shi Heng and his family arrived in Yuncheng by private plane.

In the Su family's old house, Su Huaishan and Chen Fang had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing them coming, Chen Fang couldn't wait to go forward and take little Nianyou, "Oh my baby, let grandma take a good look."

The venue for the one-year-old ceremony had already been set up in the living room.

Various items were neatly placed on the red carpet:

Children's stethoscopes, pens, calculators, microphones, toy pianos, small paintbrushes, and even a small legal code.

Shi Mo put it there secretly, saying that it might be useful in case his sister wanted to become a lawyer.

"Come on, let's see what Xiao Youbao will choose."

Chen Fang placed Nianyou in the middle of the red carpet, her face full of anticipation.

Everyone held their breath and watched the little guy look left and right.

Nianyou first touched the book, then the small piano, and finally grabbed the small stethoscope and shook it happily.

"Oh my!" Chen Fang exclaimed in surprise, "This is going to inherit Mom's legacy!"

Su Huaishan smiled from ear to ear, "Great, great, our family is going to have another miracle doctor."

Shi Heng lowered his head and whispered in Su Niannian's ear, "It seems our daughter will follow your path."

Su Niannian's eyes were slightly hot, "As long as she likes it."

Su Qian came over and said with a smile, "Mom, now we have two miracle doctors in our family!"

Shi Mo also smiled and said, "Then if I get sick in the future, I don't have to go to the hospital anymore, right?"

Shi Heng glanced at him and said, "You'd better not get sick."

Everyone laughed again.

At night, Shi Heng stood in the yard, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, his expression a little dazed.

Su Niannian walked over and gently held his hand, "What are you thinking about?"

Shi Heng retracted his gaze and whispered, "Seeing Xiao Youbao's one-year-old celebration today, I suddenly remembered the past."

Su Niannian was slightly startled, then smiled gently, "Wait a minute, I have something to give you."

She turned and went back to the house, and after a while, she came out with a wooden box in her hand.

Su Niannian handed him the wooden box and said, "Ten letters we wrote in Yunqi Temple twenty years ago."

Shi Heng's pupils shrank, and his fingers trembled slightly. "...How come these letters are here?"

"The second time we went to Yunqi Temple, I asked the abbot for it."

Shi Heng took a deep breath and slowly opened the wooden box.

There were ten letters neatly arranged inside, each with a year written on it, from the first year after their wedding to the tenth year.

He picked up the first letter, opened it, and saw the familiar handwriting:

[Ah Heng, today should have been our first wedding anniversary. By the time you read this letter, I will no longer be alive.]

"I'm sorry, I lied to you. I knew my wedding would be unplanned, but I still selfishly wanted a wedding."

If there is an afterlife, I hope I can be just an ordinary girl, loved by my parents, without any calculations or conspiracies.

Shi Heng's fingertips trembled slightly as he continued to open the second letter:

[In the second year, you should have gradually gotten used to the days without me, right? ]

[Don't be sad, my life is short, but I'm lucky enough to have met you.]

[If there really is reincarnation, I will wait for you in the next life.]

He opened them one by one, and each letter was like a blunt knife, slowly cutting his heart.

Until the tenth letter:

[Tenth year, Ah Heng, do you still remember me? ]

[For the past ten years, I have been begging God every day to let me meet you again in my next life.]

[I will use the merits of curing illnesses and saving lives in this life in exchange for meeting you again in the next life, loving you, and growing old with you.]

Shi Heng's tears fell on the letter paper, and a transparent flower bloomed on the four words "till old age".

When he looked up, Su Niannian was standing in the moonlight holding her daughter.

Little Youbao blinked his grape-like eyes and suddenly stretched out his little arms like lotus root nodes towards him, with the palms still stained with gold powder from the one-year-old ceremony.

When he held his wife and daughter in his arms——

The daughter yawned with a milky smell, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, but she had already fallen asleep, clutching his tie tightly.

The ends of Su Niannian's hair were lifted by the wind, and when it brushed past the corners of his lips, it carried the same herbal fragrance that had remained with him for twenty years.
