Chapter 148 Is this how you two usually act at home?
The two of them took Erbao out to play for five days.
Although the life of a new 'dad' is a bit busy and rushed, it is generally going well.
When Lin Yao and his wife came back from outside, Zhou Yan and Lin Xu took Erbao to Lin Xu's parents' home.
Lin Yao has been taking care of Erbao since he was born. It was the first time they were separated for such a long time and she missed her child very much. When she saw Erbao, she took the child from Zhou Yan's arms and kissed him left and right.
"You've been fattened up by your uncle these days." Lin Yao poked Erbao's little face and said.
Erbao puffed out his cheeks and said with a smile, "Uncle's cooking is delicious."
Lin Yao looked at Zhou Yan with a smile: "Thank you."
Zhou Yan shook his head slightly: "I should say thank you for keeping you and your daughter apart for so many days."
Lin Xu came over and said, "Why are you thanking her? She just left the child to us and ran off to have a good time."
Lin Yao slapped him: "You little bastard, you're still complaining after helping your sister take care of the kids for two days."
Zhou Yan quickly rubbed Lin Xu's face and said, "Sister, don't listen to his stubborn words. Xuxu has had a lot of fun playing with Erbao these past two days. I was reluctant to leave Erbao on the way back just now."
Seeing Zhou Yan protecting Lin Xu so much, Lin Yao lost her temper for a moment and went into the house with the child in her arms, smiling.
Zhou Yan and Lin Xu also followed in.
"Dad, Mom, we've brought Erbao back." Zhou Yan greeted the two elders as he entered the house.
"Come in quickly. Erbao must have exhausted you these days," asked Mother Lin.
"No, Erbao is very well behaved."
The family chatted and laughed about family matters. Lin Xu and Lin Yao played with Erbao, while brother-in-law and Zhou Yan talked about new policies and trends.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Lin Xu discussed this with her sister: "Sister, I think Zhou Yan really likes children, but he always says he doesn't like them. But when I see him taking care of Erbao, I can tell that he really likes them. And look at him, if he becomes a father, he will definitely be a good father."
Lin Yao frowned: "What do you want to say?"
Lin Xu and Lin Yao were always willing to speak their minds. "Sister, I'm actually really afraid he'll regret it later. If he likes children, I can actually accept that. But now he's worried about my feelings and insists he doesn't want one. How can I get him to tell the truth? Ah! You hit me again!"
Lin Xu was hit hard by Lin Yao.
"What's going on in your head? He wants a child, but how can he do that? Can you give birth? Or should he find someone else to give birth to the child? This is illegal, don't you know?"
"Then you can go abroad—"
"Go to hell! I really don't understand how Zhou Yan can be so happy living with you every day." Lin Yao was so disappointed in him.
"What do you mean? What's wrong with me? He's very happy living with me."
"Do you think he helps me take care of the kids because he likes it? He's not doing it for you."
"Ah? For me?" Lin Xu was confused.
"Yes. It was his idea for me to travel."
"Why?"
"It's because you were in a bad mood a few days ago. He came to me and told me that you've been depressed for several days because of an elderly person who is not long for life. He was worried that you would be stuck in this kind of separation and death, and would be depressed again. He wanted you to meet new life and play with Erbao more so that you won't have time to worry about random things. Otherwise, why would I suddenly think of going on a trip with your brother-in-law?"
After hearing this, Lin Xu was stunned.
It turned out that all this was arranged by Zhou Yan, but I always suspected that he wanted a child.
Lin Yao didn't know what to say to him: "Is this how you two usually act at home? He's just flirting with a blind man."
Lin Yao pulled Lin Xu's ear and said, "Stop imagining this. Your Zhou Yan can't hold anything else in his heart except you. We've seen it all. Trust is the most basic thing for a couple to live together. You can't always doubt him like this and make him sad. Let's see what you can do."
Lin Xu looked at Zhou Yan who was talking to his brother-in-law at the door.
His broad shoulders and strong back gave him a fairy-tale, carefree world, giving him time to daydream.
He was only worried about whether Zhou Yan would regret it in the future, and didn't think about whether Zhou Yan would be sad because he always didn't trust him.
His sister was right to scold him, and he even felt sorry for Zhou Yan.
"Okay, it looks like he won't bother with you so easily. Don't mention this again when you go back."
Lin Xu nodded heavily: "I understand."
Zhou Yan and Lin Xu drove home after dinner.
Lin Xu hesitated several times before he started talking. Zhou Yan spoke first and asked, "What's wrong? You've been stuttering since leaving home. What's wrong?"
"No. It's just that every time I see you with my family, I feel like my current life is too happy."
Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said, "I just learned a new word online: 'sense of deservingness.' So you have a low sense of deservingness now, and you feel that such a happy life makes you panic?"
“Is it a little bit?”
"Are you stupid? Isn't your current life a very ordinary life? It's not that you are too happy, it's that you are easily satisfied. If someone else lived this kind of life, they would probably get bored and run away a long time ago."
"How could that be? Look at how many people online envy our lives."
Zhou Yan was amused by his simplicity. "Look at what they say. How many people actually quit their jobs and come here to live? Vacationing is vacationing, but really giving up everything is something few people can do."
Lin Xu nodded suddenly: "It seems so."
"Well..." Lin Xu couldn't hide what was going on. "My sister told me that you were the one who asked her to send Erbao to us. You were worried that I was in a bad mood and wanted to help me get out of my negative mood. You really took great pains. I was wrong to ask you to have a child."
Zhou Yan took a deep breath, his eyes full of tenderness.
Lin Xu has many advantages, and being reasonable is definitely one of them.
As long as he realizes his mistake, he will immediately admit it and correct it, instead of insisting on it for the sake of face, which will eventually hurt the relationship between the two of them.
Just like when we first started living together, I scolded myself for not cleaning up, and that never happened again.
"So good." Zhou Yan ruffled Lin Xu's hair. "Are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah, much better. Life is a cycle. It's more important to live each day to the fullest than to be sad about the passing of time."
"Yes, that's why there's a poem that says it very well." Zhou Yan left the question unsaid.
"What poem?" Lin Xu asked curiously.
Zhou Yan smiled and said slowly, "A single night of spring is worth a thousand gold coins."
Lin Xu blushed instantly after realizing what was happening: "Zhou Yan!! How can you say that black and white are yellow?!"
Zhou Yan felt wronged: "It's been five days. Erbao has been with us for five days. We haven't been close for five days. Can't I think about it?!"
