"Qingqing, Qingqing..." Ji Yanjun murmured anxiously as he lay on the bed.

"Mommy, Daddy's calling Qingqing, Daddy's calling you," said Hengheng, the chubby little boy, sitting on the bed, blinking his big, watery eyes.

"Are you calling me?" Wen Qing asked sleepily.

"Hmm." Hengheng nodded her little head, about to lean forward to hear more.

"Qingqing!" Ji Yanjun suddenly shouted and sat up, startling Wen Qing and Hengheng.

"Qingqing." Ji Yanjun seemed to still be immersed in a dream, his brows furrowed with pain.

"Yanjun," Wen Qing called out.

Upon hearing the sound, Ji Yanjun trembled. He slowly turned his head and saw Wen Qing. He was first stunned, then his eyes reddened. He opened his mouth several times but could not speak, as if he could not believe it.

"Yanjun, what's wrong?" Wen Qing leaned forward to ask.

Ji Yanjun pulled her into his arms tightly, only then did he feel a sense of reality.

"Yanjun." Wen Qing felt a little pain from his grip.

"Qingqing, Qingqing..."

"Did you have another nightmare?" Wen Qing asked. In the early days of their marriage, Ji Yanjun often had nightmares, and every time he woke up, he would hold her tightly. This hadn't happened for many years after they had been honest with each other, so it seemed he had another nightmare. Wen Qing reached out and stroked his back to comfort him, "Yanjun, I'm here."

Ji Yanjun was covered in sweat. He buried his face in Wen Qing's neck and inhaled her familiar fragrance before he gradually calmed down.

"Qingqing is here. It was all a dream. It was all a dream." He tightened his arms around Wen Qing again.

Wen Qing felt a slight pain, but also felt a sense of joy and reached out to hug him back.

The two hugged for a long time, so long that Hengheng couldn't wait any longer: "Daddy, Daddy, aren't you going to get up and cook? Hmm, Mommy is hungry, and I'm hungry too."

Ji Yanjun heard a baby's voice, looked up and saw a chubby baby sitting on the bed, wearing a red bib with a cute yellow gourd baby embroidered on it. His chubby arms and legs, just like his own, were exposed, and his little face was round and extremely cute.

"Who are you?" Ji Yanjun asked.

Hengheng: "Daddy, I'm Hengheng, I'm baby Hengheng."

Baby Hengheng... Wen Qing couldn't help but chuckle.

Ji Yanjun: "I don't know him."

Hengheng crawled up to the two of them, turned his chubby face toward Wen Qing, and said, "Mom, Dad says he doesn't know me. Mom, do you know Hengheng?"

"Of course I know him." Wen Qing smiled and touched Hengheng's smooth face, saying, "Baby Hengheng is my son."

Hengheng looked at Ji Yanjun again and said, "Dad, look, Hengheng is Mom's son, and also Dad's son."

Ji Yanjun looked at Hengheng's red, pouty little mouth, babbling incessantly, and his soft appearance made his heart melt as well. Before he could react, Hengheng had already pounced on him and given him a quick kiss on the cheek: "Daddy, are you still half asleep?"

Ji Yanjun: "......"

Wen Qing released Ji Yanjun at the right moment. Ji Yanjun hugged Hengheng in his arms, gently patted his bottom, and asked, "Why are you up so early? Did you wet the bed?"

"No, no, Dad, I missed you and Mom, so I came to sleep with you," Hengheng said.

"Missing us?"

"Mmm-hmm." The little guy nodded: "I dreamt that you didn't want me anymore."

Ji Yanjun's heart trembled. He remembered that what he had just dreamed about was not actually a dream, but something that had really happened in his first life. It was when he and Wen Qing really didn't want Hengheng anymore. He couldn't help but feel emotional at this moment. He hugged Hengheng in his arms and looked at her solemnly, saying, "Hengheng."

"dad."

"Mom and Dad will always love you and will never abandon you."

"I love my dad and my mom, forever."

Ji Yanjun couldn't help but laugh, and hugged Hengheng, saying, "Sleep!" He also pulled Wen Qing into his arms, so that he was the only one holding Wen Qing and Hengheng as they slept.

Wen Qing and Heng Heng fell asleep quickly.

Ji Yanjun stared intently at Wen Qing and Heng Heng, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at them. He would stroke their cheeks from time to time and kiss them from time to time.

When Wen Qing woke up again, there was no one in bed, and the conversation between Heng Heng and Ji Yanjun could be heard from the kitchen.

"Dad, are both steamed eggs for Mom?"

Here's a bowl for you.

"But Dad, I don't eat onions."

"You can't be a picky eater."

"Then Dad, can you put in just a tiny bit, a tiny bit, a tiny bit of scallion, okay?"

Wen Qing couldn't help but laugh as she listened to the conversation between the father and son. By the time she finished washing and dressing, Ji Yanjun had already prepared breakfast.

After lunch, Wen Qing had to go to school, while Heng Heng was taken care of by Ji Yanjun.

When Wen Qing went into the study to pack her books, Ji Yanjun kept hugging her from behind. He followed her everywhere she went, even more clingy than Hengheng. Wen Qing smiled helplessly, "Yanjun, if you keep hugging me like this, I'll be late."

"Then don't go to class, just stay home with me."

"Nonsense."

Ji Yanjun still wouldn't let go, making Wen Qing, who was being affectionate, throw a tantrum: "Ji Yanjun, I only have two classes, I'll be back after they're over!!"

Okay, Ji Yanjun let go of her and took Hengheng to the school gate.

Hengheng waved his hand: "Mom, be a good girl and come home early after school."

At the school gate, a little boy said to a girl, "Mommy, be good and come home early after school." This attracted a lot of attention. Wen Qing blushed and ran quickly towards the school with her books in her arms.

Hengheng: "......."

Ji Yanjun: "......"

After school, Ji Yanjun and Hengheng happily came to pick up Wen Qing.

Wen Qing, however, had a dark expression.

Hengheng stretched out his arms and said, "Mommy, hug me."

Wen Qing bent down and kissed Hengheng's chubby, tender face, but didn't hug him.

Hengheng was puzzled. His mother used to hug him for a while after school, so why didn't she hug him today?

Ji Yanjun asked, "What's wrong with your wife?"

Wen Qing remained silent.

Ji Yanjun tried to grab her hand, but she shook it off, as if she was sulking.

When they arrived at Nanyuan Community, Wen Qing started to have a fit. First, she told Hengheng to go play with Xiangxiang downstairs. Then she went home with Ji Yanjun. After entering the house and locking the door, Wen Qing slammed the book into Ji Yanjun's arms with a "thud".

Ji Yanjun was taken aback.

"It's all your fault!" Wen Qing said angrily.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yanjun was completely confused. He picked up the book. Instead of being angry at Wen Qing's temper, he smiled, as if he saw the cute side of Wen Qing in the past, which he liked very much.

"I'm pregnant again!" Wen Qing said.

Ji Yanjun was shocked upon hearing this.

Wen Qing said angrily, "I came into the school with a big belly, and I'm about to graduate from university. I need to take graduation photos with a big belly. How ugly will I look? It's all your fault!"

Ji Yanjun's attention wasn't on that; he was completely stunned, standing there dumbfounded. After a moment, he grabbed Wen Qing's hand and started to walk out.

"What?" Wen Qing asked.

"Go to the hospital for a checkup." Ji Yanjun's expression turned serious.

Wen Qing immediately understood why Ji Yanjun was acting this way, and she quickly explained, "Yanjun, Yanjun, I have a good appetite. I am pregnant, but that's all. Don't overthink it."

"Let's go to the hospital first." Ji Yanjun pulled Wen Qing downstairs. Hengheng was playing downstairs. As soon as he saw his parents leave, he abandoned Xiangxiang and chased after them, "Dad, Dad, where are you going?"

Without saying a word, Ji Yanjun picked up Hengheng, pulled Wen Qing to the garage, and drove directly to the hospital.

After the examination confirmed the pregnancy and there were no other illnesses, Ji Yanjun's expression softened, his fear subsided and joy rose. He took Wen Qing's hand, kissed it, and said, "Qingqing, thank you for giving me another gift from God."

Wen Qing's anger had completely vanished in the face of Ji Yanjun's earlier panic. Now that she thought about it, having another baby would actually be a good idea, to keep Hengheng company. A serene smile involuntarily appeared on her face as she turned to ask, "Hengheng, how about Mommy gives you a little sister?"

"How will you give birth?" Hengheng asked.

Wen Qing laughed.

A few months later, Wenqing's belly started to swell. Hengheng carefully hugged Wenqing's belly and happily said, "Mom, my little sister is inside, my little sister."

“Yes, that’s right,” Wen Qing said with a smile.

"After she comes out, she has to call me brother."

"yes."

"Brother, I want to be a big brother." Hengheng covered his mouth with his chubby little hands and laughed happily, feeling that becoming a big brother was something to be proud of.

Wen Qing looked at him and smiled.

At this moment, Ji Yanjun came out of the bedroom with two cotton coats, one large and one small: "The snow is very heavy outside, Hengheng, be careful when you walk later."

“Okay, I’ll help Mom and my sister in a bit,” Hengheng said.

Wen Qing smiled and said, "Then my sister and I thank you, brother."

"You're welcome."

Seeing Hengheng's smug look, Ji Yanjun smiled and went to the entrance to get the shoes. He sat on a small stool and helped Wen Qing put them on: "Qingqing, Mom just called to ask where you are. She said Liangliang has prepared the mutton hot pot and is just waiting for us to come back to eat."

"Dad, I want to eat beef, big chunks!" Hengheng said, sticking his bottom out while tying his shoelaces.

"Okay, tie your shoelaces tighter yourself."

"good."

Ji Yanjun helped Wen Qing put on her shoes and a cotton coat. Wen Qing's belly was quite big now, and since it was her second pregnancy, both she and Ji Yanjun had experience, especially Ji Yanjun, who was very skilled at handling things.

"Are you ready? Let's go." Ji Yanjun helped Wen Qing put on her cotton-padded coat, and then put on an overcoat to keep her warm, so that only her fair and tender smiling face could be seen.

"Alright! Let's go!" Hengheng said.

As soon as they stepped out of the apartment building, Hengheng jumped up excitedly: "Wow, so much snow! Mom! Look, everything's white! Dad! So much snow!" Hengheng ran happily through the snow: "Let's go to Grandma's house!"

I fell into the snow with a "thud".

"Hengheng!" Wen Qing called out.

Hengheng immediately got up, wiped her chubby face with her little hands, and said to Wen Qing and Ji Yanjun, "The snow is so cold."

Ji Yanjun and Wen Qing smiled.

Ji Yanjun put his arm around Wen Qing, held her hand, and asked, "Are you cold?"

"Aren't you cold? How about you?" Wen Qing asked. Ji Yanjun was only wearing a coat. He was handsome, but she wondered if he was cold.

"My hands are warmer than yours."

"Dad! Hurry up!" Before Wen Qing and Ji Yan could move, Hengheng had already run to the car. Standing in the snow, he looked just like a chubby baby from a New Year's painting, extremely cute. However, he was frowning with worry: "Oh dear, you're so slow! Grandma's mutton is all overcooked, what are we going to do!"

"You're such a foodie," Wen Qing joked.

Ji Yanjun looked at Wen Qing with eyes full of doting affection. Wen Qing turned her head to meet his gaze and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me?"

Ji Yanjun gazed at her intently, leaned in, and gently kissed her, saying tenderly, "I just can't get enough of you."
