Lu Yan was stunned, and it took her a long time to ask.

Why do you say that?

"There's no reason why," Lu Yaguang said, looking bewildered. "The handsome uncle looks exactly like the dad in my dream."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan laughed, "You dreamed about him after you met the handsome uncle, right?"

"No, Mom," Lu Yaguang waved his little hand, "My dad in my dream is very tall and handsome. As long as he appears in my dream, I'm not afraid."

"With this handsome uncle by my side, I'm not afraid of anything. He's super awesome!"

Lu Yan understood.

The little guy didn't say that Zhou Yanchen looked like his father, but rather that Zhou Yanchen gave him the feeling of being a father.

Lu Yaguang looked up at Lu Yan and asked, "Mom, can the handsome uncle be my dad?"

Lu Yan stroked his head with her palm, "Let's talk about it later."

Who can predict the future? Maybe Zhou Yanchen will change his mind, maybe she will change her mind.

Just cherish the beauty of the present moment.

-

On the way back, Zhou Changjiang kept glancing at Zhou Yanchen.

Seeing the faint smile on his face, I couldn't help but smile back.

"Comrade Lu Yan is indeed quite good. When do you plan to formalize our relationship and get things done?"

Zhou Yanchen: "Wait a little longer."

The two of them just verbally agreed to date, but haven't had a chance to talk about the future yet. They'll discuss it when they meet tomorrow.

But since he kissed her, he would definitely marry her as long as she didn't change her mind.

But I definitely won't marry her in the way she is now.

"What are you waiting for?"

After asking the question, Zhou Changjiang saw his younger brother look down at his legs.

Zhou Changjiang suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

When he learned that Yan Chen was injured and hospitalized, he was still training new recruits in the army.

On the phone, the mother was sobbing uncontrollably, saying that Yan Chen might not be able to hold on.

He was completely stunned.

He had been stationed in Hainan for many years, and he thought that even if someone had to sacrifice themselves, he would be the first to do so, and it would never be his brother's turn.

Even after more than half a year, he still remembers the feeling of despair and fear he had that day.

He was truly afraid of losing this brother he was most proud of.

When he rushed back, he saw Zhou Yanchen lying lifelessly on the bed, his whole body wrapped in bandages, and his heart ached.

The doctor said he was saved, but he will never be able to stand up again.

He told Yan Chen that surviving was hope, and that with the advancement of medical technology, he might be able to stand up again.

Yan Chen stared blankly at the roof, without saying a word.

He was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. After only two days at home, he hurriedly returned to Hainan.

He kept asking him about it and found out that he didn't want to go out or talk to anyone, and his mother would secretly cry on the phone every time.

Until one day, his mother said that a young nanny had come to the house and forcibly dragged Zhou Yanchen out of the house.

Later, the mother's voice became increasingly cheerful.

He was also happy for Yan Chen.

He slowly brought the car to a stop.

Zhou Yanchen turned to look at him. "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Zhou Changjiang: "I heard from Mom that Comrade Lu Yan can cure your leg?"

Zhou Yan paused for a moment, then hummed in agreement.

How confident is she?

Zhou Yanchen: "She said she could stand up."

Zhou Changjiang's large hand stroked the steering wheel, and he bit his lip slightly. "So, you want to wait until you're on your feet before confirming your relationship with her?"

Zhou Yanchen: "I want to give her the best."

Zhou Changjiang looked at him and said, "Although I only met Comrade Lu Yan once, I can tell that she is a straightforward and frank woman. If she cared, she wouldn't be maintaining this tacit understanding with you."

He could tell from the day he returned that the two of them had feelings for each other, but they just hadn't made it clear yet.

Zhou Yanchen looked at him and said, "Brother, it's her business if she doesn't care, but I still want to try."

Zhou Changjiang fell silent.

He recalled that night six years ago when He Yuejin carried Yan Chen back on his back and stammered that Yan Chen had been drugged. When he went over, there was a woman lying next to Yan Chen.

At that time, Yan Chen had just made military achievements and had recently been diagnosed with the condition of having no heir. The two of them went out for a meal and were drugged.

He Yuejin was worried that this matter would affect Yan Chen's future, so he carried the person back.

But He Yuejin was afraid of being exposed, so he dared not tell anyone.

Zhou Changjiang asked who the girl was. No matter the reason, the men of the Zhou family were all upright and could not ignore the girl's innocence.

He Yuejin was also afraid that the girl would come looking for him in the future, so he went back with Zhou Changjiang. When they got back, the girl had already disappeared.

After Zhou Yan got up, he found many scratches on his body, especially a bite mark on his shoulder where the skin and flesh were turned inside out.

He asked He Yuejin what had happened.

He Yuejin told Zhou Yanchen that he bit Zhou Yanchen when he was drunk and acting crazy.

Enraged, Zhou Yanchen beat up He Yuejin.

So many years have passed since then, and neither he nor He Yuejin has mentioned it again.

Whether before or after his injury, Yan Chen always had a cold expression on his face.

But after meeting Comrade Lu Yan just once, he could clearly feel the joy in Yan Chen's eyes.

This is something they, as his family, couldn't give him.

He hoped Yanchen could be happy, and he worried that if they didn't settle things soon, things might get complicated.

Zhou Changjiang: "Comrade Lu Yan, how long do you think it will take for you to stand up again?"

"next year."

A year is not a long time; he can wait.

If he could stand up, he would marry Lu Yan in a grand and dignified manner, with proper betrothal and wedding ceremonies.

If I can't stand up...

Zhou Yanchen took a deep breath; he didn't know what to do.

-

That night, Lu Yan lay in bed, savoring Zhou Yanchen's deep kiss, and chuckled foolishly.

Lu Yaguang turned to the side. "Mom, were you dreaming?"

Lu Yan hugged Lu Yaguang in her arms. "Yes, Mom had a beautiful dream."

That night, Lu Yan did indeed have a good dream all night long.

Lu Yan got up around 7 a.m., had breakfast, and then took Lu Yaguang out.

The two spent one cent to take the bus to Beihai Park.

After getting into the car, Lu Yan heard the people on the bus discussing the activities they would be doing in Beihai that day.

Lu Yan mainly went ice skating.

Sitting in the car, Lu Yan looked out the window and felt that this year's Spring Festival was much more lively than in previous years. From time to time, she could see elderly people in the park dressed in opera costumes, beating gongs and drums.

I could hear people discussing current events all around me, but soon I was reminded by those around me not to talk nonsense.

Over the past decade, people have been suppressed too much, which has fostered a cautious personality.

The bus stopped at the station, still some distance from Beihai Park.

Lu Yan held Lu Yaguang's hand as they walked and looked around.

"Mom, there's a ring toss game over there."

"Mom, what's that handsome guy holding? It makes a sound."

Lu Yan: "That's a harmonica."

Beihai Park was bustling with activity. Not only were there people singing Peking Opera, but also some young people holding violins and singing, mainly patriotic songs.
