Wrapped in his body temperature, Ji Shuyu hugged his waist and then leaned on his shoulder.
Gu Xiuyuan kissed her forehead, and his heart softened at her dependence on him.
As it got darker, the family prepared their own late-night dinner.
This was the most lively new year that Gu Xiuyuan had ever had in his life, and it was also the first time that he personally experienced what "family happiness" meant.
The whole family, young and old, made dumplings and stayed up together to welcome the New Year. At this age, he even received lucky money. It felt really wonderful, but he liked this feeling.
After dinner, the family watched the fireworks together in the garden and counted down to the New Year...
Five, four, three, two, one...
Bang——
New Year's fireworks bloom in the night sky.
"Wife, I love you."
"Lao, I love you."
The two of them said this in unison, and then kissed each other before the new moon rang.
…
After the New Year, there were some procedures for visiting relatives and friends. Muran was unable to come back, but Li Ya'an and the children stayed in the country.
Bishuiwan
Ji Shuyu invited Li Ya'an and Xu Youyi to her home.
Zao Zao and Chen Chen knew that their godmother had "come back from a very far place", and they were very happy, especially the little girl.
"An An, this child..."
Li Ya'an hugged the girl and kissed her little face.
"Her mother died in an accident trying to save me, so we adopted her." She stroked the girl's hair. "The last time I came back secretly, it was also because of her illness. A domestic bone marrow bank found a matching bone marrow donor, but I later regretted the donation."
"What now?"
"Still looking, but..." She looked at the girl in her arms, her heart full of worry.
Ji Shuyu was a little surprised by this answer. She thought... this child was really from the Xu family.
"So, does he...know?"
Li Ya'an knew that the person she was talking about was Fu Shengkai.
"It has nothing to do with him." Li Ya'an smiled, "It's bigger than my father, so I won't mention unhappy things."
Unhappy...
After she said this, Ji Shuyu didn't say anything more.
On the other side, Xu Youyi sat cross-legged on the floor playing games with her three children, focusing on listening to Chenchen talk about how great his godfather was.
Although Chenchen was still so young and had problems organizing his speech, Xu Youyi listened with great interest and praised him from time to time: "You're amazing."
Ji Shuyu and the other girl looked at her enthusiastic appearance, but they felt a little worried in their hearts. After all, unrequited love is painful... and neither of them has suffered less.
Gu Xiuyuan came back from outside and was a little surprised to see Li Ya'an.
"An An is here." He chuckled.
This greeting was somewhat awkward. He was not familiar with Li Ya'an just like Ji Shuyu was with Fu Shengkai.
Li Ya'an responded indifferently.
During the time she was with Fu Shengkai, she was always excluded from his circle. His friends even thought that she was scheming to get to the top and were quite repulsive to her.
It was Ji Shuyu who saved her and Xiaofeng in Fusheng, and gradually became familiar with her. Later, she became friends with Fu Shengkai's circle of friends.
Looking back, what I did in the past is really a joke.
"You guys take your time chatting."
As Gu Xiuyuan spoke, he greeted Xu Youyi and then went to the study room on his own, considerately leaving the space for them. Naturally, he did not forget to tell his friends the news.
Li Ya'an and Xu Youyi had lunch at Bishuiwan. During the meal, Li Ya'an received a call from the hospital saying that a new match was found. She left her child behind temporarily and rushed to the hospital. Unexpectedly, when she went downstairs, she saw Fu Shengkai waiting outside.
Fu Shengkai was waiting here after receiving the message from his friends, and along with the message were many photos of the children.
The child who had only appeared in dreams for many years now had a concrete image, a child who looked very much like his own.
"An An..." Fu Shengkai suppressed his excitement.
Li Ya'an felt a little tired, but she had important things to do right now, so she naturally didn't bother to argue about it at this time.
"I'll take you wherever you're going." Fu Shengkai said carefully, trying to gain even one more second with her.
"No need."
"I send you……"
"I need to go to the hospital to deal with some matters concerning my daughter." Li Ya'an asked, "Are you sure you want to take me there?"
“…”
Her daughter...
Fu Shengkai's heart instantly ripped with pain, but he nodded: "I'll take you there."
Li Ya'an listened and looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Fu."
She mentioned trouble and Mr. Fu, but it seemed like he was just a gentleman she knew. Her heart ached, but she still opened the car door.
Li Ya'an sat in the car and started contacting the hospital. Her heart and eyes were filled with anxiety.
Fu Shengkai looked at her while driving. He wanted to spend more time with her, but the traffic was smooth along the way and he didn't even encounter a red light.
The car arrived at the hospital, and as soon as it stopped, she wanted to get out. "An An!" Fu Shengkai held her back. "Can we talk?"
"Fu Shengkai, I've said it before, our most recent connection is no connection." She pulled her wrist free and quickly got out of the car.
Fu Shengkai got out of the car and chased after him. As soon as he got out of the car, he heard: "Well, Lao Xiao, I'm at the hospital."
He paused, Li Ya'an tilted his head slightly to look back, then continued to pretend to be on the phone and quickly walked into the hospital.
Gu Xiuyuan leaned against the car body and wanted to take a puff of cigarette but was choked by the cold air and started coughing violently.
The phone rang at this moment, "Hello?"
"Mr. Fu, you asked us to investigate the case thoroughly. That child named Diandian has hemophilia."
…
After Li Ya'an left, Gu Xiuyuan took on the responsibility of coaxing the child, and Ji Shuyu began to teach Xu Youyi how to bake cookies.
The little girl studied very hard, looking up information and taking notes. She was busy the whole afternoon before she could barely pick out a few pieces worth looking at and then carefully put them into a box.
He also picked out a piece of brown-colored biscuits from the few available and gave it to Ji Shuyu.
The taste... is a little hard to describe.
"Sister Xiaoyu, do you think he will like it?" Xu Youyi looked at her eagerly, eyes full of expectation.
“The thought is what matters most.”
Xu Youyi seemed encouraged after hearing this. She happily packed the biscuits and sent a message to Ke Chengzhou.
In the evening, Ji Shuyu arranged for someone to send Xu Youyi and the two babies back to the hotel.
After they left, Ji Shuyu glanced at Gu Xiuyuan.
"Wife, why are you looking at me like that..." He swallowed guiltily.
"An An is here, will you not tell Fu Shengkai?" She didn't believe it.
Gu Xiuyuan immediately smiled apologetically after hearing this.
"We just happened to chat." Gu Xiuyuan gave a reason that he himself didn't believe, and then quickly pulled her to the rented house.
Originally, he thought that there were only two of them... Wan Nian discussed it with him, but he didn't expect that the little woman would not give him any chance at all.
"Wife, I have something important to discuss with you."
"I didn't discuss this with you. Go sleep in the living room tonight!"
"It's so cold, I'll catch a cold if I sleep in the living room."
"Then you can go and keep each other warm with your brothers!"
Gu Xiuyuan was pitifully "driven" to the guest room. Just as he was trying to trick Ji Shuyu into opening the door, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and then he saw the little woman running out in a panic...
