Bi Qiao'an lay weakly in the ice and snow, watching the heavy snow bury her alive. Thinking back to her three years of solitary survival in the apocalypse, her consciousness gradually blurred. ...
The group chatted for a while longer, and seeing that it was already completely dark, Qin Yiren took her leave.
Shen Yanming patted Ji Kangyong on the shoulder: "Get the person here before you leave."
Ji Kangyong nodded and gave Shen Yanming a knowing look.
Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "What kind of look are you giving me? You're clearly flirting with the wrong person."
Bi Qiaoan watched the two interact and laughed inwardly. She almost couldn't help but hug An'an's little body and shake it.
An'an looked at her mother with a puzzled expression. Just as she was about to speak, Bi Qiao'an covered her mouth: "Good girl, baby, cover for Mommy."
An An nodded and continued playing with the building blocks.
After everyone left, Bi Qiaoan asked about Song Wenwen.
Shen Yanming explained everything, and finally said, "She's not doing well. I'm afraid you'll be soft-hearted and get involved again. But it's a family matter, and we outsiders can only watch."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and thanked Shen Yanming. If she had known, she definitely would have made trouble for Wei Liang. Unless, of course, she didn't know.
"Okay, but next time you want to send something, you must tell me, and it would be best if you took me with you."
She didn't want to end up like some novel heroines, having her husband take care of her best friend, only to have him die in the end. She'd be left with nothing but tears.
Shen Yanming seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and kissed her on the lips: "So my wife can get jealous!"
Bi Qiaoan glared at him, then her face turned red, and she admitted, "What, you're not convinced?"
Shen Yanming hugged his wife and nodded: "I admire you, I'm completely convinced."
He wanted to give her a long kiss after saying that, but An'an and Nuannuan came between them and said, "Daddy, kiss! Mommy, kiss!"
Shen Yanming helplessly picked up the two babies, thinking to himself that they were such troublesome little things.
Time flew by and it was June 1st.
It was the two children's birthday, and Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan brought them into the space early in the morning, allowing them to run around wildly inside all day.
Actually, this is the first time the two kids have had a proper birthday celebration.
When they were one year old, the two little ones were too young to understand anything.
When I was two years old, it happened right after the tsunami. The family of four was struggling to survive outside, and no one mentioned it.
Today is my little one's third birthday. My little one has grown up so much! He can cry, laugh, run, and fuss, and he's even quite sensible. As parents, we are absolutely overjoyed.
The two little ones were overjoyed, but they didn't understand what a birthday was. Because since birth, they had never seen their parents or anyone else celebrate their birthdays.
Shen Yanming whispered to them, "Three years ago, your mother was in pain all night in the hospital before she gave birth to you two. That day was the day you came into this world, and at the same time, it was also the day your mother suffered."
Birthdays are a way to commemorate your birth. From today onwards, An'an and Nuannuan are three years old.
The two children nodded after hearing this, ran over and hugged Bi Qiaoan's legs, looked up and said, "Mom, you've worked hard. Mom, I love you."
Bi Qiaoan was moved to tears. She patted the two little ones on the head and kissed their cheeks. "Mommy is not tired. With you two little angels, Mommy is very happy."
Shen Yanming pulled Bi Qiaoan into his arms and kissed her forehead: "Thank you, my dear, for giving me two such lovely children."
Bi Qiaoan shook her head, a sweet smile on her face: "Husband, I also want to thank you. Because of you, An'an, and Nuannuan, I am no longer afraid of this apocalypse. With you all by my side, I have no regrets in this life."
The family of four cuddled together for a while before the couple let the two younger children play by themselves. They planned to bake a cake for the little ones themselves, giving them a wonderful memory.
An'an and Nuannuan ran around the space with their goose, while Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took out the ingredients and started making a cake according to the steps. They also made other delicacies while the cake was baking.
After the cake was ready, Shen Yanming went to call his darlings for dinner. Unexpectedly, An'an and Nuannuan were catching fish by the river.
Shen Yanming was startled and quickly picked up the two little ones. An'an and Nuannuan giggled and showed off the little fish fry in their hands to Shen Yanming: "Daddy, look, little fish!"
Shen Yanming: "..." He didn't know what to say. If he had known, he should have bought some koi to raise back then, instead of letting the two kids treat a small black fish fry like a treasure.
"Alright, let's go back and eat. How about Dad takes you boating this afternoon?"
An'an and Nuannuan clapped their little hands: "Okay, okay, let's paddle that rubber boat."
Shen Yanming was about to suggest rowing in a small wooden boat, but since his darling had made the request, of course he agreed!
The father and his two sons skipped and hopped back to the mobile villa. An'an and Nuannuan looked at the beautiful fruit cake with sparkling eyes.
"Mommy, it looks so pretty! I want to eat it!"
"Wash your hands and face first, and you can eat after you've washed them clean."
"Okay, coming right away!" The two kids dashed into the bathroom, washed their hands and faces, and then returned to the living room.
Bi Qiaoan cut the cake into pieces with a knife and gave one piece to each of the two children. She and Shen Yanming also ate it, taking turns eating it.
"How is it, baby? Is it delicious?"
An'an's warm little face was covered in white whiskers. She ate cake and mumbled, "Delicious!" before burying her head in her food again.
After finishing the cake, the family of four rested for a while before having lunch.
Today's lunch was quite a feast, with fish, shrimp, crab, and watermelon.
An'an and Nuannuan ate until their little tummy was full before stopping. Looking at the unfinished food on the table, they were still a little unsatisfied.
Shen Yanming promised to save the rest for later that evening or tomorrow, and only then did the two children smile contentedly and run out of the mobile villa for a stroll.
Bi Qiaoan watched the two children's backs and sighed, "Kids still need to play. If they're kept cooped up at home all day, they'll get tired and stupid."
Shen Yanming shook his head: "Unfortunately, there is no absolutely safe place outside now. Even in the base, there are dark places that the guards cannot reach."
Bi Qiaoan remembered a rumor about a missing person and shuddered: "Let them play in the space for a while. I'm not comfortable letting them out without an adult to accompany them."
Shen Yanming patted his wife's head: "They'll be fine when they're a bit older. We'll send them to Li Gangtie's place and have him help train them. With the help of the space, the spiritual spring water, and those magical fruits, our little darlings will definitely become top experts."
Bi Qiaoan was amused by Shen Yanming's beautiful vision, but she shook her head: "Who knows how many years it will be? The two children are so young, I can't bear to see them suffer."
Shen Yanming's lips curled up slightly, thinking to himself that he was just saying it casually. Sending the child away so early, even if he were willing, he wouldn't be able to let go of the environment that could change at any time.
Let's wait until the planet is more stable before making any decisions.
