Extra Chapter: Your Dream, My Happy Half Life
"So, my experience over the past decade was just a dream?"
Lin Zhou was shocked.
Even though he was already dressed and sitting on the sofa in the living room.
He looked exactly the same as he had been the night before. His features were handsome, his scent of mint was faint, and his height and build were the same.
but……
Tian Xin started cleaning the house, watering the flowers, and dusting as soon as he got up, and she noticed a subtle difference from his usual habits.
——So detailed!
He looked just like an old man.
He likes to mutter while working.
He used to love cleanliness and be self-disciplined.
But not this kind of almost harsh self-discipline.
He has always been a man of few words, likes quietness, and never complains in front of her.
But just now, he suddenly looked at her messy hair and muttered: "You are so grown up, why are you always so sloppy? Can't you comb your hair neatly?"
All these made Tian Xin conclude that Lin Zhou not only had the same dream as her, but he also spent more than ten years of her previous life in this short day and night.
"But how is that possible? It's so real, I don't think it's a dream!"
Lin Zhou continued to tell her about his experiences over the past decade.
"I remember your birthday clearly, April 2, 2009. You had a difficult birth that day, and you almost died. Daddy later found several hospitals and worked together to perform a Caesarean section on you, saving your life."
"Yangyang could smile as soon as he was born, and he's in better shape than other children. He's smart and lively, and even skipped two grades to go to junior high school. He always tops the exams, and I was even invited to speak at parent-teacher conferences."
"And you, you..."
He looked at Tian Xin's face and suddenly choked up: "Wife, you have worked so hard these years, busy with work and raising children. The company has grown day by day since you took over, and you have done better than me!"
"But now...now you're telling me this was all a dream?"
He held his head in pain, curled up into a ball, and muttered to himself: "How could this be a dream?"
"how is your day?"
Tian Xin did not comfort him.
She understood that she had to make Lin Zhou accept reality now.
So, she asked him directly: "Did you have a good time during those days, those more than ten years?"
Good...or bad?
Lin Zhou didn't seem to have thought about this question.
"I can't really explain it. I've been focusing on my family these past few years..."
He turned his head and looked into Tian Xin's eyes, and suddenly confessed: "I love our family. For you and Yangyang, I can do anything."
"So, you chose to take care of your wife and children and be a 'househusband' at home for more than ten years"?
Tian Xin looked at him with a smile, and couldn't help rubbing his dull face, and said with a smile: "My dear husband, you are really great. Even for the sake of the family, you shouldn't give up your life!"
Wasn't I like this in my previous life? But what did I get in the end?
"God woke you up to correct you. You can't live like this. It's a waste of life!" She "warned" him like this.
Waste...life?
Lin Zhou stared at her blankly, his eyes finally changing from disbelief to certainty.
"No, it's not!"
He said: "I don't think it's a waste of life. Even though I became a househusband, you never looked down on me or thought I was idle at home. You care about my feelings and respect my efforts. You make me feel that I am the happiest man in the world."
"We have a son, a family business, and each other! Although I am slowly getting older and have wrinkles on my face. But Tian Xin, my wife, I still love you, and you love me too. I can see the trajectory of our lives, and I can see even more clearly our determination to stay together forever. All this..."
He held Tian Xin's hand tightly, placed her on his chest, and said emotionally: "All this is enough to prove that my past ten years have not been in vain. Although for you it was only one day, a dream. But for me, it is half of my life - a happy half of my life."
"A happy... half life?"
Tian Xin repeated it, and couldn't help but reach out and hug him again: "Yes, a happy half life, we will definitely live a happy life like this."
"But..." Lin Zhou hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?"
“Yangyang…”
"Positive……"
Tian Xin couldn't help laughing: "When did you just say his birthday was?"
“April 2, 2009!”
“…”
“…”
If I remember correctly, it's still 10 months away from that day.
"That means he might have already... come!" Tian Xin said with a red face and a smile.
Lin Zhou's face flushed instantly, and he subconsciously glanced at her belly, muttering, "Then you must come on time!"
"Did you just say it was a difficult birth?"
Tian Xin's expression suddenly changed. She pushed him away and pretended to be angry: "I won't give birth anymore! I'll die if I have a difficult birth!"
“…”
"Just kidding, I will give birth to a child. Just because he looks exactly like you, even if it hurts like hell, I will give birth to him..."
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked.
Anyway, it’s dark now, so I can’t go out.
"Hey, don't... the doctor said you can't be too tired right now..."
"What's so tiring about this? I'm not tired at all!"
"Be moderate...be moderate..."
"I don't……"
An hour later, looking at the mess on the floor, Tian Xin buried her head in the quilt exhausted and fell asleep again.
Lin Zhou got up, tidied the room, and prepared dinner before coming to call Tian Xin.
"Wife, it's time to eat!"
“I don’t want to eat it!”
"I made your favorite braised fish!"
"I won't eat that either. I... I'm dying of exhaustion!"
"So you don't want to hear about it either. How can we make our new project popular and gain widespread word-of-mouth?"
"I know. Go to the link and take a short video! Yangyang told me everything!"
"Then do you know how to operate in this age without smartphones?"
“…”
That’s a problem!
"You know?" She turned over and looked at Lin Zhou.
"Yeah, I know! Do you want to hear it?"
"Tell me about it?"
"Then get up and eat first, and I'll tell you after you finish eating!"
"Tsk, I won't listen!"
She turned over again and prepared to sleep.
This time Lin Zhou refused to agree. He pulled her out of the bed, quickly put clothes on her, and carried her to the restaurant!
“…”
The dishes on the table were all her favorites, some of which she didn’t even like now, but were tastes she developed more than ten years later.
"You know everything!" She couldn't help but feel touched and asked him.
"What?"
“My taste!”
"Well, yours and Yangyang's, I know everything!"
Lin Zhou put some food in her bowl and watched her tears fall into the bowl bit by bit. He smiled and said, "Wife, you are still young now, just like before. I will never let you work so hard again in this life. From now on, whether it is the children or the company, I will share the burden with you. You can do what you like."
"You've become much sweeter!"
Tian Xin burst into laughter again and asked him, "Then tell me, how should we do this promotion now that there are no smartphones?"
