To be fair, Ye Nian'an can still eat.
I just don't want to be too fat.
Despite the presence of the spiritual spring water and acupuncture, coupled with Ye Nian'an's self-discipline, her figure has not yet deteriorated.
But as my belly gets bigger and my appetite remains so good, I'm really afraid I won't be able to control myself and will turn into a fat woman.
Even if Chu Yan treats her the same way as before, she still won't like him.
Who doesn't want to look beautiful? The baby should be born safe and healthy, and you should also maintain a good figure.
Chu Yan chuckled softly, pulling her into his arms and nuzzling her head with his chin: "I actually wish you were a little fatter, so you'd be easier to hug. Being too thin isn't good for your health."
He suddenly leaned in, his nose almost touching her lips: "But Nian Nian is so concerned about her figure..."
The last syllable lingered, carrying a hint of teasing: "Do you want me to hold you every day and never let go?"
Ye Nian'an's face instantly turned red, and she raised her hand to punch his chest: "Nonsense!"
Where did that innocent and fun-loving soldier go?
They've only been married for less than two years, and they're already spouting sweet nothings so fluently—they're practically born with it!
Chu Yan held her wrist as she playfully made a fuss, his fingertips tracing circles in her palm.
His warm lips brushed against her ear: "Okay, okay, then rest for a bit. Leave it here, and I'll heat it up for you whenever you want to eat it. You can eat it anytime."
"That's more like it."
Ye Nian'an grabbed Chu Yan's arm, her eyes sparkling with starlight and brimming with light: "I love you so much."
Yes, she did it on purpose.
Even though Chu Yan's sweet talk became more and more fluent.
However, each time Ye Nian'an suddenly confessed her feelings, he was always caught off guard.
This time was no exception.
Chu Yan's ears turned bright red instantly.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and a deep voice flowed from the depths of his throat: "Yes, I love you too."
Seeing that no one was around, Ye Nian'an said in a coquettish tone, "Give me a kiss."
Chu Yan kissed Ye Nian'an's cheek.
It would have been better if they hadn't kissed, but after they did, things got really complicated.
"Oh dear, Brother Yan, the child just kicked me."
"Huh? Really?"
Chu Yan was overjoyed and quickly pressed his ear against Ye Nian'an's stomach.
Sure enough, they heard noises coming from inside.
One, two...
You can truly feel the new life inside thriving and growing healthily.
"Okay, kid, stop bothering your mother, be quiet and stop kicking."
Although Chu Yan was very happy, he was worried that the baby's restlessness in Ye Nian'an's belly would make her uncomfortable.
However, the child still made quite a commotion.
Ye Nian'an smiled slightly, "Brother Yan, could it be that you kissed me but not the child, and the child is unhappy about that?"
Chu Yan was slightly taken aback: "Huh? But the baby hasn't been born yet, how can we kiss?"
"Silly, just kiss my belly. Babies are always on the same wavelength as their parents. Look, you said you'd kiss my belly, but you didn't. The baby must be getting impatient and angry."
"Then I'll give it a try."
Chu Yan kissed Ye Nian'an's belly several times.
Surprisingly, the child really did calm down and stop making a fuss.
"Niannian, you're truly amazing..."
Ye Nian'an had just said it casually, but it actually came true. At this moment, she couldn't help but sigh, "This must be the bond between a father and his child. The seven emotions and six desires of humankind are truly amazing."
Chu Yan stared intently at Ye Nian'an's belly: "Children, Daddy will love you very much from now on."
"But Mom is the most, most, most important person to us. Be good, behave yourself, and don't tire Mom out, okay?"
Ye Nian'an took Chu Yan's hand and touched his belly, a smile curving her lips: "Hehe, Brother Yan, the children will definitely hear what you're saying and will listen to their father obediently."
"Oh dear, the child kicked again; they really heard it!"
Just as Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan were happily coaxing the baby in her belly, a strange voice suddenly came from outside.
Is anyone home?
Hearing the noise, Chu Yan said softly, "I'll go check on her. Niannian, you stay here."
"good."
Coincidentally, Ye Nian'an was also feeling lazy and didn't want to move.
Chu Yan returned quickly, holding a letter in his hand.
"The postman delivered the letter. He only wrote the mailing address, but not the return address or name. All I know is... Haicheng."
When the city was mentioned again, Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan were filled with emotion.
Before they knew it, almost two years had passed since they were sent down to the countryside.
It is now July 1975.
Time flies like an arrow, and the days pass like a shuttle.
This was also the first time Ye Nian'an had been away from the city where she grew up for such a long time.
Over the years, no one in Haicheng has ever sent them a letter, not even a relative.
They were demoted to lower-level positions, and everyone avoided them like the plague, so why would anyone want to get involved with them?
"I have a pretty good idea who sent the letter."
Chu Yan's lips unconsciously curved into a smile.
"Is it Song Yan and Xu Yao?"
Ye Nian'an guessed it right away.
“Niannian is so smart. They didn’t send letters before because of the circumstances, but now that they can send letters, it means that the day when we are exonerated, the country is cleared of its injustice, and our innocence is restored is not far away!”
As Chu Yan spoke, he unconsciously tightened his grip on the letter in his hand.
He had waited for this day for far too long!
Ye Nian'an simply smiled faintly.
She knew that the important historical juncture would be next October, after which everything would be different and the country would usher in a new beginning.
