Four years later.
"Hurry up, Nian Nian! You're running so slowly, you're going to be late!"
"Hmph, it was clearly you, Sui Sui, who kept me waiting for so long."
Two adorable little girls, as pretty as porcelain dolls, were moving around backstage at the Central Philharmonic Orchestra.
Although the two little legs were moving around quite happily, the brother and sister deliberately avoided obstacles and pedestrians on the road, and surprisingly, they didn't cause any trouble.
When the band members saw the two little ones, they immediately became excited and surrounded them, showering them with compliments.
"It's only been a few days since I last saw her, and she seems even cuter than before!"
"You even brought flowers this time, are you thinking of giving them to your grandma later?"
"Isn't that right?"
Zuo Wenxuan walked over with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of smiles and affection as he looked at the twins.
"That little guy was just pestering the makeup artist to put a red dot between their eyebrows. Look at them now, don't they look like the Fuwa mascots from a New Year's painting?"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement.
With their chubby, fair skin, don't they look like a pair of lucky babies?
The old regimental commander, Ding Honghui, whose hair was already gray, picked up the two little ones one by one, weighed them in his hands, and said in a serious tone:
"He's gotten so fat, Grandpa Ding can hardly carry him anymore."
"No, that's not true."
The twins weren't afraid of him at all, and even playfully made faces at him.
"Mom said that we are both smarter than we were a few years ago. Our current IQ is the sum of our previous IQ, which is why we are getting heavier and heavier."
Everyone was amused by the two little ones' adorable appearance and teased them on purpose:
"What do you want to be when you grow up, Niannian and Suisui? Your father and mother are both in the military, so outstanding. It seems you two will face a lot of pressure in the future."
The two little ones were more outspoken than the other, their heads held high and chests puffed out, looking incredibly confident. They opened their mouths and said in unison:
"We must surpass Dad in the future and strive to be like Mom!"
This answer, which was both reasonable and unexpected, made everyone backstage burst into laughter.
"It seems that in the hearts of these two children, the mother holds a much higher position. The father needs to keep working hard to win her over."
Seeing that his two little bundles of joy could make people laugh wherever they went, Xie Lanshen couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
Song Mingqian, who had just finished his research job, also rushed over. The moment the twins saw their grandfather, their big eyes lit up like light bulbs, and they immediately ran over to hug his legs.
Her little mouth is full of sweet nothings, enough to make anyone swoon.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, we miss you so much after just one day apart."
"Okay, okay, Grandpa misses us year after year too."
Song Mingqian happily hugged the two children, one on each side. Hearing the curtain call coming from the front, he immediately looked up.
Sure enough, Lin Banxia, who had just finished her performance, came down from the stage.
She was overjoyed to find the two little ones backstage. She bent down for a hug without even changing out of her costume.
"Year after year, you all come to see Grandma's performance."
"Hello, Grandma! Grandma is so beautiful! We heard you singing backstage just now, and it was absolutely gorgeous!"
The two little ones hugged Lin Banxia from both sides, showering her with compliments as if they were free, until her head was spinning.
She even stuffed the flowers she brought into Lin Banxia's arms, emphasizing:
"These two bouquets are for Ms. Lin Banxia, the most amazing and greatest singer in Nian Nian Sui Sui's heart!"
Lin Banxia was overjoyed. Their family's life had been getting better and better in recent years, and her health had also been almost fully recovered.
Her complexion is getting rosier and rosier, and she doesn't look like a grandmother at all.
Lin Banxia and Song Mingqian each held a child in their arms. Xie Lanshen, who had just picked up his wife from get off work, also walked over with Shen Zhihuan.
"Mom, congratulations on your successful performance."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Zhihuan hugged Lin Banxia and gave her a big bear hug.
This heartwarming and joyful scene moved everyone present. Zuo Wenxuan even directed his colleagues in the orchestra to create an atmosphere by scattering flower petals in the back.
Silk petals fluttered freely under the light, looking dreamlike and exceptionally beautiful.
The twins simultaneously reached out their little hands, trying their best to take the flower into their hands, and then eagerly stretched out their little bodies to present it to Shen Zhihuan.
"Mom, this is for you."
"I love my mom the most every year."
These two little ones have been incredibly clingy since they were born, following Shen Zhihuan around all day, calling her "Mommy" in a sticky, affectionate way.
Seeing Shen Zhihuan coming over, she didn't want to be separated from her for even a moment, clamoring and fussing to run into her mother's arms.
Shen Zhihuan caught the two babies with a smile. After hugging Sui Sui to her arms, she reached out to hug Niannian, but Xie Lanshen suddenly intercepted her halfway.
"Mom's arms are only so big, I can't hold both of you at the same time."
Xie Lanshen pretended to be serious and gently patted his son's bottom.
"As a man, you should take responsibility for protecting your mother and be more considerate of her."
Although every year I want to cling to Shen Zhihuan all the time, of course, my own mother is the most important thing.
The little guy immediately straightened his face and nodded seriously.
"Alright, I'll reluctantly give it to my sister this time."
His precocious remarks made everyone laugh, just as someone happened to be passing by with a camera.
Seeing this family chatting and laughing, enjoying themselves so much, I couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere and pointed my camera at them.
Look here.
Upon realizing that the person taking the photo was a colleague from the orchestra, the family quickly found their places and stood in line.
Xie Lanshen casually put his arm around Shen Zhihuan's slender waist, and smiled at her as they looked at each other—
The camera clicked, capturing the moment.
