Chen Yifei smoothed his messy hair: "Because, you've always been doing very well at home, and you're a silly girl who only reports good news and never bad."
"My parents know, and I know too."
"We all need to prove that we can protect you properly."
Upon hearing this, He Runqing's nose tingled with emotion.
She was crying uncontrollably...
Chen Yifei quickly wiped away her tears: "A wife's tears shouldn't be flowing here..."
When He Runqing realized what Chen Yifei was saying, her face turned even redder.
"You're really shameless."
"Why should I be ashamed with my wife? As long as I can be with you, that's enough for me!"
"Come on, let me take you to the clouds..."
——
The next morning, Chen Yifei hugged He Runqing and cuddled her around.
It was quite a while before I got to work.
He Runqing also got up and started packing.
The things that had been packed in advance were carried by Chen Yifei, one on each side.
He Runqing did her makeup in front of the mirror, and then applied lipstick, the kind that changes color when applied, and looks inconspicuous.
But on her already stunning face, it added even more radiance.
It was cold, so I was still wearing a sweater, a cute pink and fluffy one, and over it I wore a white down jacket that Chen Yifei had bought from Shenzhen.
The skirt is fitted with a slight slit at the calf, making her look tall and have a great figure.
Because it's inconvenient to have your hair down on the train, He Runqing simply used a wooden chopstick to tie her hair up, using the chopstick as a hairpin to hold it in place.
She appears both gentle and elegant.
Chen Yifei found it both efficient and impressive.
But she also came running over in small steps, carrying a bowl of breakfast porridge.
"Why did you get up to clean up? I told you to wait until I finished cleaning up and bring it in for you to eat. I just told you to leave."
He Runqing reluctantly pushed the person away and took the porridge that Chen Yifei had cooked.
“I’m not in postpartum confinement either, Comrade Chen Yifei.” He Runqing covered her mouth and laughed. “You’re so nervous, it’s like I can’t take care of myself.”
"I'm full of energy!"
He Runqing is not vomiting as frequently as before, and she doesn't look as haggard as she used to.
He looks to be in great shape right now.
It even gave me a different feeling...
Well, being pregnant is a completely different experience from being unmarried or married.
Now I feel a different kind of affection, a charming womanhood and a motherly gentleness, as if she has a soft glow that makes her features even more attractive.
My wife is so beautiful, I wish I could keep her hidden away forever. My heart is filled with nothing but possessiveness towards her.
So he put his hand directly on his wife's waist.
"Wife, I'm unfamiliar with Shanghai, so please take good care of me."
"Sure, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
The two had booked sleeper tickets, but He Runqing and Chen Yifei sat together so they could talk easily, and they didn't want to lie down until night.
People passing by would glance at He Runqing a few more times, and Chen Yifei would block them at that moment.
Don't let others see it.
Seeing him like this, He Runqing covered her mouth and laughed, "Comrade Chen Yifei, your self-awareness as a husband is really great!"
“Here’s a reward.” Chen Yifei pointed to his cheek, and He Runqing kissed him. There was no one around, and both of them smiled.
Wang Hu originally wanted to come to Shanghai with Chen Yifei and the others right now.
However, Chen Yifei rejected him.
Just kidding, this is a special experience of being alone with my wife, especially on the road. How can I let Wang Hu be a third wheel and ruin the atmosphere!
With the Lunar New Year approaching, along the train's journey, even when looking at cities and villages from one side of the tracks and not being able to make out the details, one can see red decorations everywhere from afar.
He Runqing looked on with some emotion: "After I went to the countryside, I haven't been home for the Spring Festival."
"This is the first year, and also the first year of marrying you."
It was because she married Chen Yifei that returning to the city wasn't so difficult for her.
Previously, young women like her who participated in labor were daughters of capitalists, and for someone of that background to go to other places, they had to go through layers of approval.
Many times, the applications are rejected because people feel they are not safe.
He Runqing was disappointed every time.
But now that she has someone to rely on, things are different. Now that Chen Yifei is helping her, it's not so difficult.
I haven't seen my parents in a long time. I wonder how they are doing, and what they've been up to lately...
He Runqing felt like she was about to cry.
Chen Yifei knew she was homesick, so he helped wipe away her tears and said, "It's okay, we're going back now. Once it opens up, we can visit each other more often."
"We can go wherever we want."
"Yes." He Runqing nodded. "I just think you're a very nice person, so I'm very touched."
"What's so great about me? This is what a husband should do," Chen Yifei said with a smile, trying to divert her attention by asking her other questions.
"Besides your parents, is there anyone else in your family?"
"Um... it's my parents, my cousin, my cousin's wife, and their child. My mom wrote in a letter last time that he's three years old and his name is Little Round Ball."
"What about your uncle?" Chen Yifei asked curiously.
He didn't know much about He Runqing's family; in his previous life, he only knew her parents.
Based on this, her cousin must be her uncle's child.
He Runqing gave a bitter smile: "My uncle passed away a few years ago. As you know, my family has a bad class background. My parents were lucky and made it through."
"But my uncle and his family weren't very lucky."
“My cousin is also very capable. He works for the geological team and goes out in the field a lot. So for convenience, my cousin’s wife and children live next door to me. We usually eat together.”
After listening, Chen Yifei nodded.
He Runqing said somewhat nervously, "Chen Yifei, you also need to be mentally prepared. Our family... did not have a good family background before."
"And a lot of those rumors are true. My family gets yelled at on the street. My mom says it's gotten much better in the last two years, but I haven't actually been back. I just hope... you won't..."
She hadn't finished speaking.
Chen Yifei smiled and said, "Your family is my family."
"Besides, everyone is equal, why would I discriminate against them? Because they are your elders, and also my elders, I would never hurt them."
"They've shown us plenty of respect, so don't worry."
He Runqing nodded.
She fell asleep while talking; after becoming pregnant, she was always worried about many things.
Moreover, He Runqing is often prone to excessive sleepiness.
Chen Yifei felt sorry for her when he saw the dark circles under her eyes.
