Sweetie, sleep with me tonight.

As she finished the first page, Jiang Youxi forced back her bittersweet feelings and turned to the second page.

The second page contains very simple content, just a few sentences—

Mom, thank you for giving me life.

I am very happy and blessed to be your child.

Goodbye.

I hope we can meet again in the future.

in case……

If this is the last time we see each other.

That's okay.

I am content as long as you are safe and well.

Dad, Mom.

You all must take good care of yourselves.

Goodbye.

Jiang Xu put pen to paper.

Snapped!

Tears fell onto the paper, blurring and fading the words "Goodbye".

Because of his repeated time travels and obstructions, he disrupted the past timeline, causing the car accident that was supposed to happen fourteen years later to occur prematurely.

No wonder Jiang Xu trembled with fear when she first met Zhao Fei; it was because he had traveled through time so many times and saved her countless times.

Each time he travels through time, the point in time is different, but the car accident that Zhao Fei meticulously planned will still be repeated every time.

As a result, he personally experienced car accidents time and time again, watching helplessly as she perished in flames.

The painful memories kept replaying, like a knife slowly torturing the boy's still unhealed wounds.

But precisely because they haven't succeeded in saving her yet.

So even in the deepest grief and despair, he never considered giving up.

He tried everything he could to save her, attempting countless times with all his might.

Finally, this time, they managed to save her.

He Zhuo raised his hand and wiped away her tears: "Xi Xi, don't cry, Xiao Xu will come back."

return……

"Xiao Xu has disappeared, does that mean I'm pregnant now?" Jiang Youxi gripped his hand, her emotions running high. "If I weren't pregnant, Xiao Xu wouldn't have disappeared. I must be pregnant!"

Jiang Youxi immediately went to the hospital for a check-up.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, according to your examination report, we did not find a gestational sac in your uterus."

"What?"

"Does that mean you're not pregnant?"

Jiang Youxi couldn't believe it: "How is this possible? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Ms. Jiang, we are not mistaken, you are indeed not pregnant." The doctor reassured her, "Ms. Jiang, don't worry, you are still young, you will have a child sooner or later."

The inspection report fell to the ground from his hand.

It felt like something was blocking her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

He Zhuo helped her up: "Xi Xi."

"He Zhuo, I'm not pregnant... What should I do? Xiao Xu hasn't come back to find me."

He Zhuo hugged her and gently comforted her, "Maybe it was too short a time, Xixi, let's wait a little longer, okay?"

"But how long do we have to wait?" Jiang Youxi asked dejectedly. "I'm scared, scared that my bond with him... will just end like this."

Jiang Youxi also thought it was just because the time was too short, but they waited for half a month. During this half month, they increased the frequency of intercourse, but Jiang Youxi still showed no signs of pregnancy.

Jiang Youxi was mentally broken; she lost her appetite and became very negative.

He Zhuo half-squatted down and took her hand: "Xi Xi, do you still remember the Tianchan Temple that Xiao Xu mentioned in the envelope?"

Jiang Youxi was taken aback: "The Tianchan Temple we went to on our first date?"

"right."

Jiang Youxi pulled out the letter Jiang Xu had left them again, her eyes lighting up with hope once more: "Yes, Tianchan Temple, that master—perhaps he has a solution!"

The two immediately drove to "Tianchan Temple".

We arrived at Tianchan Temple at dusk.

The sunset cast its glow, and the incense smoke curled gently.

The ancient bell tolls deep and resonant, its sound like the deepest sandalwood, piercing through the evening glow and casting a rich, profound hue upon the solemn temple.

The two entered the Buddhist hall and immediately saw the master meditating with his eyes closed.

Seven years have passed, yet the master remains exactly the same as he was back then, with no change in appearance whatsoever.

At this time, the number of worshippers decreased, with only a handful remaining.

The entire Buddhist hall was spacious and quiet, which gradually calmed my uneasy heart.

Sensing something, the master slowly opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes falling on her: "Two benefactors, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiang Youxi strode over, put her hands together, and bowed respectfully: "Master, only now do I understand that the emotional bond you spoke of back then referred to my child."

"But he's disappeared now, and I'm not pregnant. Master, I really don't know what to do. Can you help me again?"

"His mission is complete. Whether you will meet again depends on the bond and fate between you."

He Zhuo's voice was hoarse: "Is there nothing we can do but wait?"

"He may appear at a turning point in your life." The master put his hands together in prayer. "You should do more good deeds and accumulate merit in your daily life. When your merits are abundant, he will naturally come back to find you."

……

Since returning from the temple, Jiang Youxi has become more at peace.

As the master said, everything between her and Jiang Xu was predestined.

There's no use in her being anxious.

All she can do right now is wait.

Since then, Jiang Youxi has devoted herself to public welfare projects and activities. She also uses her professional knowledge to help other people in need and open a lifeline for those who cannot afford medical treatment.

He Zhuo's Lingshi Group has also increased its investment in and promotion of public welfare activities. When the couple has free time, they will also attend related banquets and events together, setting an example and encouraging more people to support and participate in public welfare.

He Zhuo has always been someone who doesn't easily show his emotions, and he never reveals his joy or anger.

Jiang Youxi thought he had let go of Jiang Xu's departure, but one night, she accidentally discovered that the man would silently look at the basketball and photos left by Jiang Xu while she was asleep.

He sat there for more than an hour, the hall empty and silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After this happened several times, Jiang Youxi realized that he was thinking of Jiang Xu.

But he was a man, the pillar of the family, and he was reserved and kept his emotions hidden.

But sometimes, Jiang Youxi still caught the glimpse of his eyes gradually reddening as he looked at the things Jiang Xu had left behind.

Like himself, he had been thinking about Jiang Xu all along.

Two months later, Jiang Youxi celebrated her 27th birthday.

She's been incredibly busy lately, and if it weren't for the red envelope Xiaoxiao sent her, she would have almost forgotten that today is her birthday.

Jiang Youxi responded to the congratulatory messages from her relatives and friends one by one, and then logged out of WeChat to end her workday.

As soon as I stepped out of the hospital, I saw the man standing at the hospital entrance.

Hearing familiar footsteps, He Zhuo turned around and looked over, his eyebrows curving into a smile: "Xi Xi."

Jiang Youxi smiled, quickened her pace, and ran over to him, throwing herself into his arms: "Didn't you say yesterday that you had to go on a business trip today and wouldn't have time to pick me up?"

"Just kidding."

"You're lying to me?"

"Why would I secretly prepare a birthday surprise for you if I didn't lie to you?"

Jiang Youxi was surprised: "You remember my birthday?"

He Zhuo raised an eyebrow: "How could I not remember?"

"You've been so busy lately, I thought you'd forgotten."

"I may forget myself, but I could never forget you."

"Too."

No matter how busy he is every year, he will prepare for her birthday in advance, just wanting to give her a surprise.

"Come on, I'll show you something."

He Zhuo drove her to eat first to fill her stomach before taking her to see the little surprise he had prepared for her.

Upon seeing the familiar living room and bedrooms, Jiang Youxi finally couldn't hide her surprise: "Is this the house where Xiaoxu and I lived back then?"

Jiang Youxi terminated her lease after they moved to Yue Lan Ting.

Come to think of it, it seems like she hasn't been back here for eight years.

"Yes, this place holds many wonderful memories of the time you and Xiaoxu spent together, so I bought it for you. If you miss Xiaoxu, you can come back and stay here for a few days." He Zhuo gently patted her head, his eyes tender. "Do you like it?"

Jiang Youxi never expected this to be her birthday surprise this year.

"I love it! I really love it!"

Jiang Youxi ran over with a joyful expression, touching the sofa, rubbing against the table and the TV station. The times she had spent with Jiang Xu came flooding back into her mind.

As I touched it, my nose suddenly stung, and tears gradually blurred my vision.

Noticing her unusual behavior, He Zhuo reached out and pulled her into his arms, sitting her on his lap: "Why are you crying?"

Jiang Youxi wiped away her tears, hugged him, and buried her face in his neck: "I just missed Xiaoxu so much."

"How much longer do you think we have to wait before Xiaoxu comes back to find us?"

He Zhuo gently stroked her back.

He was heavy-hearted, and not much better off than Jiang Youxi.

"XiXi, wait a little longer."

She takes tests every day, but goes to work disappointed every day.

Jiang Xu has been missing for two months.

But she still showed no signs of getting pregnant.

Knowing that he was just as anxious as she was, Jiang Youxi tried to calm herself down so as not to worry him: "Okay, let's wait a little longer."

He Zhuo bought her her favorite big cake, and the two of them sang "Happy Birthday" together in the rented apartment to celebrate her birthday.

He Zhuo not only prepared these surprises for her, but also created a grand fireworks show for her.

They only need to stand on the balcony and look up to see the dazzling fireworks show.

He Zhuo called her over: "Xi Xi, come and make a wish."

The light from the fireworks fell on her small face, flickering between bright and dim.

Jiang Youxi sat in front of the cake, clasped her hands together, and devoutly made her first and only wish of the year.

[I hope little Xu can come back again. Mommy is always waiting for you.]

After making a wish, Jiang Youxi blew out the candles and spent this unforgettable birthday with He Zhuo.

After her birthday, Jiang Youxi went back to work at the hospital.

Around lunchtime, her colleague Xiaofen came over and called out to her, "Dr. Jiang, your husband brought you lunch again. Do you want to go see him?"

Jiang Youxi glanced at WeChat.

He Zhuo indeed left her a message: "Today's dishes include your favorite boiled fish, steamed pork with lotus leaf, and Mapo tofu..."

He directly listed seven dishes, all cooked by renowned chefs from five-star hotels, each with a unique flavor that perfectly suited his taste.

He Zhuo's habit of bringing her meals has continued since they got married and has never changed.

Jiang Youxi smiled and picked up her phone to read out all the dish names: "Mr. He had already informed me via WeChat in advance."

Xiao Fen clicked her tongue: "Well, another big bucket of dog food."

Jiang Youxi couldn't help but laugh, and got up to follow them out.

Thanks to Jiang Youxi, my colleagues got to eat the meal that President He brought again today.

"I'm glad you're enjoying your meal."

"I'm not just happy, I'm so happy! Dr. Jiang, you have no idea how delicious this boiled fish is today! You have to try it!" A colleague urged her to eat it while it was hot.

"it is good."

She happened to be hungry, so she sat down and ate with everyone.

Jiang Youxi opened the lunchbox, picked up her chopsticks, and was about to take a piece when a wave of nausea suddenly surged up.

Unable to bear it any longer, she put down her chopsticks and rushed into the bathroom to vomit.

Colleagues came over to inquire about her condition and concern.

"I'm fine, I probably just had an upset stomach last night. I'll take some medicine later..."

"Dr. Jiang, are you pregnant?"
