My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Wang Yuan reached out and stopped Mo Xiao, saying with emotion, "Let the children experience what it's like to be parents. This will greatly help their future. Let's go later."

"...If you put it that way, then you're right."

Mo Xiao calmed down for a while and wasn't as agitated as before.

"No, I feel like I'm about to explode. I need to find someone to distract me," Mo Xiao muttered, turning to look at Xia Mei, intending to interview her about her current mood and try to decipher her inner thoughts. Mo Xiao was quite interested in the job of a translator, especially seeing Xia Mei's gloomy face and sharp gaze, giving off the image of an ice queen, when in reality she was too preoccupied to speak properly. This stark contrast was, to Mo Xiao, a perfect source of amusement and the best way to pass the time.

"Ok?"

Just as Mo Xiao was about to pounce, his phone rang.

Not only her, but Wang Yuan's phone also rang.

Xia Mei also took out her phone, which was on silent mode because she had been in a meeting at the company. Just now, she felt a twitch in her pocket and instinctively wanted to check the message.

"Wow!"

Mo Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Jiu sent her a photo.

This is a family photo of Lin Jiu's family.

Wang Yuting lay in the hospital bed, cradling her newborn baby in the crook of her left arm, her right hand gently resting on the baby's body. Lin Jiu stood beside the bed, taking Wang Yuting's hand in his; their hands formed a bridge, carefully protecting the fruit of their love. The baby gripped its mother's fingers tightly, its big eyes filled with curiosity, looking incredibly adorable.

Mo Xiao was stunned by this group photo; it hit the bullseye, and he almost collapsed to the ground on the spot.

Wang Yuan also received a group photo. He slowly raised his head, trying hard not to let his tears fall.

Despite his tall stature and muscular physique, he is more thoughtful than anyone else and considerate of his children.

When his wife gave birth to Tingting, the torrential rain, which seemed to threaten to overturn the world, finally stopped. Sunlight streamed down his body, its warmth almost unreal, as if the damp, cold feeling of the past few days had vanished. His rescue team members pushed him forward, urging him to go to the hospital to see his child, assuring him that they would take care of the rest and he shouldn't worry. Wang Yuan accepted their kindness and hurried towards the hospital, covered in mud. His shoes left water stains on the ground as he walked, and his rescue team-insignia-covered clothes were soaked and heavy. The long hours of rescue work had left him with little energy, but his steps were unwavering; he ran with long strides.

That little girl, reaching out her hand to the sunlight streaming through the window...

Wang Yuan slowly turned his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The old father felt a mix of joy at his child growing up, a deep reluctance to part with him, and above all, a sense of relief.

The most important thing is that your child has found a partner they can entrust their life to.

Wang Yuan can confidently entrust Wang Yuting to Lin Jiu's care.

"Don't cry, if you cry, I'll cry too."

Mo Xiao gently tapped her husband's back to make him smile, otherwise she would have cried too.

"Meimei, have you received the photos?"

Mo Xiao turned to look at Xia Mei. In an instant, she felt her mind was filled with a large amount of information, and she even felt a little dizzy.

Xia Mei's current expression and her inner thoughts were enough to make Mo Xiao, her personal translator, crash on the spot.

Mo Xiao shook her head. It seemed she didn't need to ask anymore; wasn't this just common sense?

"Okay, let's go get some coffee and go later."

Mo Xiao waved his hand, resisting the urge to hug his granddaughter.

She almost burst into tears just from seeing the photos.

If you really hold the child, won't he cry like a child?

Mo Xiao believed that she still held a place in her children's hearts and couldn't just cry easily.

"Okay, calm down." Mo Xiao put his arm around Xia Mei's shoulder, bringing her back to her senses from her intense inner turmoil, and advised, "You're a mother too, you know, right? Giving birth won't make things easier, in fact, the most troublesome part is yet to come. Those two kids aren't the type to ask for help, they just bear everything on their own when something happens, so we need to conserve our energy to help them properly."

Xia Mei looked at Mo Xiao.

As Xia Mei's personal translator, Mo Xiao naturally understood what she was thinking.

"Even if you praise me in your heart, it won't do you any good. I won't be happy to be praised by someone my age. Really... Come on, it's my treat, let's go get some coffee." Mo Xiao took two steps forward, her hair swaying behind her head. At her age, it would be strange to feel embarrassed over such a small thing. It would make her seem like an adult.

Xia Mei turned her head and glanced in the direction of the delivery room. A smile slowly appeared on her usually expressionless face. She turned around and followed.

at the same time.

Tea Cat Cafe.

Hazuki was lazily playing on her phone in the dressing room, leisurely sipping her milk tea, her legs crossed high. Her maid skirt swayed with gravity, exposing her plump and beautiful legs to the air, her black pantyhose perfectly outlining her mature curves.

"Ok?"

Ye Yue was playing a game when she was surprised to find that Lin Jiu had taken the initiative to send her a message.

She turned to look out the window, wondering if the sun was rising in the west today, and if she had traveled through time.

Lin Jiu uses social media as rarely as successfully plugging in a USB drive on the first try. Even if someone needs to contact him, he might not reply to a message. And even if he does reply, it's unlikely to be him; it's more likely Wang Yuting will reply on his behalf.

"……hateful!"

Unable to resist her curiosity, Ye Yue quit the game and opened a social chat app to see what new tricks Lin Jiu was up to.

"Wow!!"

Hazuki was so surprised that she plopped down on the ground with a thud.

"You've come here to slack off again!"

When Tong Yingyu opened the door, she found Ye Yue lying on the floor holding her phone, seemingly unconcerned about the dirty floor.

Tong Yingyu is in charge of doing the laundry at home, and she gets angry whenever she sees Ye Yue getting her clothes dirty.

"Look I don't kill you!"

"Wait a minute!"

Ye Yue raised her hand, but Tong Yingyu couldn't control her strength and slapped her across the face.

"Ow!"

Hazuki took a solid hit to the forehead, and her phone flew out of her hand.

Tong Yingyu raised her right arm and swung it, catching the phone that had been flung away in mid-air.

She wanted to see what new tricks Hazuki was up to—

"what……"

Tong Yingyu felt as if she had stopped breathing for a moment.

She looked at the happy group photo in the picture, and it took her a few seconds to understand what it meant before she covered her mouth.

"Relax, relax."

Hazuki's forehead was still steaming. She propped herself up and gently hugged her beloved girl.

"Yuting has her own happiness, and we have ours, don't we?"

"Um……"

"If you're still not satisfied, we'll go borrow an ancestral treasure from Lin Jiu—Aww! I'm just kidding! Aww!!"

One week later.

Lin Jiu has a deep understanding of the hardships of being a parent.

For the past week, Wang Yuting has been almost bedridden, extremely weak, and lacks the strength to care for her baby. She can only lie in bed, receiving instruction from visiting midwives and learning about childcare while staying in a single room at the hospital.

Lin Jiu took a long leave from school, explaining that her child had been born and she couldn't leave without being by her child's side.

This reason was something the school couldn't refuse. However, this wasn't the first time the school had encountered such a situation. After all, young people these days have so many tricks up their sleeves, and premarital pregnancy is not uncommon in this era.

Making a fuss over such a trivial matter would only make the school seem petty. Most people would try to cover it up in such situations, only finding out after the school sends a teacher to speak with them. Lin Jiu, however, frankly admitted she had a child, completely disregarding her status as a student. If people like to gossip, rumors about Lin Jiu getting pregnant and giving birth while still a student will spread like wildfire.

You see, Lin Jiu's appearance and demeanor are very feminine, and if such rumors were to spread to unsuspecting people... it would be quite troublesome. However, Lin Jiu herself doesn't seem to care about others' opinions; she spoke the truth openly and honestly, leaving the school with nothing to say. Lin Jiu is currently immersed in the happiness of starting a family, and the smile on her face warms the hearts of those around her.

"Jiu'er, the child is hungry, help! Help! Help!"

In a single room at the hospital, Wang Yuting asked Lin Jiu for help.

Although there were many difficulties before and during childbirth, the concerns after giving birth did not decrease at all; in fact, they increased considerably. Lin Jiu bore this burden, enjoyed it, and embraced it. During this short yet long week, Lin Jiu lived each day to the fullest. Although sometimes he was so tired that he couldn't sleep and experienced physical exhaustion, he still felt happy. Lin Jiu was able to calmly and happily accept his change in identity and willingly give his all for it.

"Okay, wait a moment."

Lin Jiu prepared the formula, checked the temperature indicator on the thermos cup, and after confirming that the temperature was 42 degrees Celsius, she rushed over.

"I'm sorry, I don't have that much breast milk yet, and the baby has a big appetite." Wang Yuting held the bottle and fed the baby. She smiled helplessly. The child was a glutton when he was in her belly, and his gluttonous personality hadn't changed after birth.

"No need to apologize. Just call me if you need anything. I am Xiaoxuan's father."

The couple's child is named Lin Xuan, a name suggested by Lin Jiu's mother.

Xuan means beautiful jade, expressing the hope that the child will be as pure and flawless as beautiful jade.

Incidentally, the name suggested by Wang Yuting was ruthlessly rejected by the two elders.

How could anyone name a girl "Huaqiang"?

What? It's called "Hu Gua" instead of "Hua Qiang"?

How could I have such a rebellious daughter! Come out and take your punishment!

Mo Xiao wanted to hit someone after hearing that.

She even had the urge to rename Wang Yuting to Wang Dasha.

After hearing this, Wang Yuting dared not say anything more and said she would listen to her parents.

She didn't want to be held in Lin Jiu's arms while hearing him affectionately call her "Big Fool."

Therefore, Xia Mei's suggestion to name the child was unanimously approved by the vote, and Lin Jiu also said it was a good name.

Regarding the children's documents and household registration information, Wang Yuan said he would handle it; Lin Jiu only needed to take good care of Yu Ting and Lin Xuan. After all, Lin Jiu was not yet of marriageable age, which caused some inconvenience in various aspects. If Lin Jiu's age and Wang Yu Ting's age were swapped, the age-related issues wouldn't be reduced, but from a social perspective, there might be even more problems.

Lin Jiu is no longer the naive young man she once was, thinking she could handle everything herself.

If you can lend a hand, then do so.

The narrow world thus becomes wide.

"Ugh."

Wang Yuting sighed softly and muttered in dissatisfaction, "I originally wanted Jiu'er to have some, but Xiao Xuan snatched them all up."

"I have no intention of taking food from the child, don't talk nonsense." Lin Jiu saw her daughter, who was happily drinking milk, suddenly turn her head to look at him, as if she wanted to hide the bottle, and burrow into her mother's arms, no longer looking at him.

The feeling of being ignored by her daughter was so hurtful. Lin Jiu felt a real pain and gasped in pain.
