He often listened to Jiang Yushan describe the various movements of the baby in her belly, and his heart was already filled with curiosity and yearning.
However, every time he placed his hand on Jiang Yushan's belly with anticipation, he could only feel a calmness, as if the little life was deliberately avoiding his touch.
This loss and confusion made him feel a little depressed.
"It was moving just now." Jiang Yushan felt Huo Ci's loss and was also surprised.
She clearly remembered that not long ago, the baby was rolling happily in her belly, but now it seemed to be still.
She gently stroked her belly, trying to get the baby to move again, but the baby seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
"Maybe the child doesn't like me very much?" Huo Ci's tone became even lower. His big hand was still on Jiang Yushan's belly, but they seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier.
His eyes were full of grievance and confusion. He was obviously the father of the children, but he didn't know why they were hiding from him.
"How is that possible? You are their father." Jiang Yushan smiled.
"How could the children not like you? They may just be resting, or playing hide-and-seek with us. You have to be patient and communicate with them more, and they will definitely feel your love." Seeing this, Jiang Yushan gently held Huo Ci's hand and said softly.
Jiang Yushan wanted to say that this might just be a coincidence, but there were so many coincidences that it was hard to believe it.
So she changed her way to comfort Huo Ci, but her words were sincere. How could a child not like his father?
"..." With Jiang Yushan's comfort, Huo Ci sighed and his mood gradually calmed down.
His hand was still on Jiang Yushan's belly, hoping that this would help him build more familiarity with the child.
The night slipped away quietly in the tranquility.
…
Life on the second day remained unchanged. The setting sun once again gently filled the living room, adding an unusual color to this ordinary day.
As soon as Huo Ci stepped through the threshold, he noticed that the atmosphere at home was different from usual.
On the dining table, steaming hot meals are neatly arranged, and the tempting aroma is intertwined with soothing music, creating a warm and harmonious picture.
The music was the prenatal education music that Goudan had specially selected for the children. He was squatting beside Jiang Yushan, one hand gently resting on her belly, his face filled with indescribable surprise and joy.
"The babies love listening to music and are moving in my belly!" Goudan's voice was full of excitement as if he had discovered a new world.
After hearing this, Huo Ci involuntarily quickened the pace of taking off his shoes.
As soon as he heard Goudan's words as he entered the door, he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.
He walked quickly to the sofa, and without saying a word, pushed aside Goudan who was immersed in joy, and couldn't wait to put his hand on Jiang Yushan's belly.
After finally hearing that the child was moving, he, as a father, couldn't wait to try it.
Huo Ci was a little nervous, his heart beating like a drum. He stared at Jiang Yushan's belly, afraid of missing any slight movement.
However, under Huo Ci's hands, the expected fluctuation did not come as expected.
On the contrary, he still felt a sense of calmness, as if the lively little life in his belly suddenly fell into a deep sleep at the moment he touched it, and was reluctant to even give the slightest movement.
Huo Ci's face fell involuntarily, but his hand was still stubbornly placed on Jiang Yushan's stomach, unwilling to accept this fact.
His eyes were full of confusion and unwillingness, as if he was questioning fate, why he, as a father, encountered such "cold violence" when he wanted to feel his child's fetal movement.
"They moved for a while and are probably too tired now." Jiang Yushan felt distressed when she saw Huo Ci's shocked expression.
She gently held Huo Ci's hand and comforted him softly, "Children also need to rest. They don't need to move all the time. I'll call you when they move next time."
Jiang Yushan's words were like a warm current, slowly flowing into Huo Ci's heart.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Yushan with helplessness in his eyes. Finally, he hugged her gently and no longer insisted on feeling the fetal movement.

That day, Jiang Yushan followed him to the restaurant early in the morning.
The restaurant's business is as good as ever, but the flow of people in this sea area has gradually reached saturation. Although there are occasional customers who come here for its reputation, the daily turnover has basically stabilized.
"Why is Jiang Sisi coming here?" Mao Dongling was puzzled when she saw Jiang Sisi walking straight towards her.
Since she was still busy, she quickly called Hu Xiaowen and asked her to go and take a look.
After all, for such a long time, even though Jiang Sisi had been fishing in this sea area, the two sides had always kept to themselves, and she had never been willing to come to the store.
But now Jiang Yushan is sitting at the door of the store, and Jiang Sisi doesn't come earlier or later, which makes people wonder what her purpose is.
"What would you like to eat? Our breakfast menu is here." Jiang Yushan looked at Jiang Sisi walking towards her and asked with a smile, as if she was just an ordinary guest.
Although she could see that Jiang Sisi had come to find her on purpose, she pretended not to know.
Jiang Sisi looked at Jiang Yushan's visibly pregnant belly and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
She had been here fishing before, and if Li Xiujuan hadn't mentioned it last time, she wouldn't have noticed that Jiang Yushan's belly was so big.
She has been keeping an eye on the restaurant these days, but Jiang Yushan has not shown up.
