Qin Yushen pulled her close, the little bundle nestled in his arms, warming his heart.
Lin Xiaoxiao sat on his lap, leaned back relaxed, and pointed to a point on the map, "If we have enough people, we can form a flanking squad to outflank the enemy from the east..."
As time passed, Qin Yushen's expression gradually became serious. He leaned forward slightly, picked up a pen, and began to draw on the defense map.
Lin Xiaoxiao shifted, finding a more comfortable position.
Qin Yushen noticed her discomfort, put down his pen, picked her up, and said, "It's getting late, you should go to sleep."
Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't want to sleep."
She goes to bed at this time every day; she hasn't stayed up late in a long time.
Qin Yushen put her down, looking very easygoing, "Don't want to sleep? That's fine."
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up her cup, took a sip of water, and looked at him warily.
Something's not right. Something's nine-tenths not right.
Qin Yu looked at her, who was acting like a cat with its fur standing on end, and found it somewhat amusing. "What are you afraid of me for?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shifted her feet. "I'm not afraid at all. Let's go to sleep."
In the end, I followed my heart.
Obediently climbed into bed, lay down, and covered herself with the blanket.
Qin Yu touched her hand deeply, feeling a sense of warmth before he felt relieved.
He didn't sleep; he went to his study, opened the defense map, and continued working.
He was so busy that he completely forgot about the time. When he finally finished, Qin Yushen glanced at the time and realized it was already past 2 a.m.
I stood up and stretched, then quickly washed up and returned to my room.
He didn't turn on the light, but his vision wasn't affected in the dark, and he could still see clearly.
Lin Xiaoxiao lay sprawled on the bed, fast asleep, her breathing even.
After Qin Yushen lay down, he pulled her into his arms, inhaling her delicate fragrance, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next day, when Lin Xiaoxiao woke up, she was surprised to see that Qin Yushen was still asleep.
Knowing he must have been busy for a long time last night, I didn't want to disturb him and carefully got out of bed.
I went to the kitchen and cooked some plain porridge and two eggs, and had a simple breakfast.
It felt colder than usual today. Lin Xiaoxiao shivered as she practiced Tai Chi for a while, and only stopped when she felt her body warm up.
Turning around, she saw Qin Yu leaning against the door, smiling at her. His eyes, which were usually as cold as stars, were now filled with a barely perceptible warmth.
"Awake?" Lin Xiaoxiao exhaled a breath of stale air, her body radiating a sense of lightness from the inside out after exercising.
Qin Yushen hummed in agreement and reached out to wipe her sweat. "You're sweating. Go change your clothes."
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. "I've made some porridge, go and have some breakfast."
"You've worked hard." Qin Yushen gently touched her belly and said softly, "In another month, our daughter will be able to move around, right?"
Lin Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and looked at her belly. Although her clothes didn't show any curves, her abdomen was already protruding a little.
“I dreamed about it last night too,” she said.
Qin Yushen looked up. "Hmm? What did you dream about?"
Lin Xiaoxiao pinched his cheek and smiled mischievously, "I dreamt that I had a son."
Qin Yushen's expression cracked.
He put his arm around Lin Xiaoxiao's waist and said, "Wife, tell me you're lying to me."
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed heartily, "Why would I lie to you? I really dreamt about it."
Qin Yu pursed his lips. Lin Xiaoxiao thought she would see disappointment on his face, but he only paused for a moment before reaching out and gently touching her stomach.
A tender look appeared in her eyes as she whispered, "Whether it's a daughter or a son, they are both our precious children."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked down at him, her expression softening.
We had agreed to go to the movies yesterday. After getting ready, we were about to leave when the phone rang.
The phone had only been installed recently, costing over a thousand yuan, and the process was extremely complicated. Fortunately, Qin Yushen asked Han Xiu for help, and it was completed in just two days.
Having a telephone at home makes making and receiving calls much more convenient, eliminating the need to go to the post office.
Lin Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, looking somewhat helpless. "I'm afraid we won't be able to see the movie. Your dad is calling us back for dinner."
Qin Yushen said, "The government compound is close to the movie theater, so we can go see it after dinner."
"This is the only way."
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the two of them, who were dressed neatly, and asked, "Are you all ready? Shall we go now?"
"Let's go."
Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.
When there's nothing else going on, Qin Jinye wouldn't call them back for dinner for no reason.
They're usually called back when there's something urgent.
The Qin family.
After staying in the hospital for a while, Qin Huaiyi went home to recuperate.
Her foot bone was crushed, and she had to undergo two surgeries to set it. After the anesthesia wore off, the pain caused her a lot of suffering.
Therefore, his resentment towards Qin Yushen and his wife grew stronger.
"Mom, Brother Wuyou knows I'm injured, but he hasn't come to see me at all." She deliberately had someone tell Chu Wuyou about her injury, and many days have passed since then, but Chu Wuyou still hasn't come to see her.
Qin Huaiyi gripped the cup tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force.
Yao Huixian didn't know how to comfort her daughter, so she could only say dryly, "Maybe it's because she's too busy with work."
In reality, they all knew that Chu Wuyou wanted nothing more than to stay away from her, so why would he take the initiative to come and see her?
For the past few years, it has all been Qin Huaiyi's wishful thinking.
Yao Huixian couldn't help but say, "Xiaoyi, you're not young anymore. Other girls your age are all married and have children. Listen to your mother, don't waste your time on him. I'll find you a partner who's good in every way, how about that?"
