In that bustling and vibrant city, Lin Xiao Yu spent her unique pregnancy filled with anticipation, living each day in calm and stability. Every dawn, as the first light broke, she would gently caress her slightly rounded belly, feeling the rhythm of new life within her. A smile would unconsciously rise to her lips, as if she could already envision the adorable face of her baby. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating her face and painting a picture of maternal brilliance.
Far away in Guangzhou, Lin Wufeng, Lin Xiao Yu's father, felt a mix of joy and concern upon hearing the news of his daughter's pregnancy. After much contemplation, he decisively chose to end his long career early and began the process of retirement. Bidding farewell to familiar neighbors, his longtime job, and the lively southern town he had called home, he set off for Beijing filled with love and worry. As he gazed out at the rapidly passing scenery from the car window, memories of his daughter flooded his mind—from her tender steps as a toddler to her vibrant youth, and now to her gentle demeanor as she prepared for motherhood. Each memory brought tears to his eyes, intensifying his longing to return home.
After a long journey, Lin Wufeng finally arrived in Beijing. At the exit, his wife Song Ying had been waiting and spotted him among the crowd immediately. Time had left its marks on their faces, but at that moment, when their eyes met, it felt as if time had reversed; past affection and longing surged within them. Song Ying hurried toward him, and Lin Wufeng quickened his pace as they embraced tightly amidst the bustling crowd.
"Old Lin, you must be exhausted from the journey," Song Ying said with a slightly choked voice.
"I'm not tired; seeing you makes it all worthwhile," Lin Wufeng replied gently as he patted her back.
Once home, Lin Wufeng barely set down his luggage before eagerly searching for his daughter. The moment he saw Lin Xiao Yu, his eyes filled with love and tenderness. He hurried to her side and carefully enveloped her in his arms as if cradling the most precious treasure in the world.
"My dear girl, you've suffered so much. Dad is here now; I'll be with you from now on," Lin Wufeng's voice trembled with endless concern.
"Dad, I miss you so much. With you and Mom here, I'm not afraid of anything," Lin Xiao Yu said as she leaned into her father's embrace, tears of happiness glistening in her eyes.
From that day on, Lin Wufeng devoted himself entirely to caring for Lin Xiao Yu's needs. Every morning before dawn broke, he would rise quietly to avoid waking his sleeping daughter and son-in-law. He donned an old apron and put on his reading glasses to meticulously study various pregnancy recipes before navigating through the market stalls to select the freshest vegetables, fruits, and meats. He would haggle with vendors just to secure the best prices for quality ingredients. Once home, he would dive into the kitchen, skillfully preparing delicious dishes infused with his deep love for his daughter.
One day while Lin Wufeng was busy in the kitchen, Lin Xiao Yu walked in.
"Dad, take a break; don’t tire yourself out too much," she said.
"My dear girl, you’re pregnant; you need to eat well. I’m not tired at all! Look what I bought for you today—fresh perch! I’ll steam it for you; it’s very nutritious," Lin Wufeng replied with a smile.
Lin Xiao Yu's husband Lu Zean also understood how hard this period was for his wife. To spend more time by her side, he worked diligently at the office every day, striving to maximize his efficiency just so he could leave early to care for her. As the evening sun cast its glow on his way home, Lu Zean was always seen hurrying along. He would stop by Lin Xiao Yu’s favorite bakery to pick up a sweet treat she had been craving or choose a bouquet of fresh flowers from a newly opened shop to bring warmth and romance into their home. Upon arriving home, he would first give his wife a warm hug and a tender kiss before patiently listening to her recount her day’s events while cherishing every kick from their baby.
"Hey honey, has our little one been good today?" Lu Zean would ask as soon as he stepped through the door.
"Oh yes! He’s been quite active today!" Lin Xiao Yu replied with a smile.
At night, Lu Zean would gently massage her swollen legs while they read parenting books together in preparation for their new arrival. With both Lin Wufeng and Lu Zean by her side providing care and support, Lin Xiao Yu's pregnancy was filled with love and warmth. Each day was fulfilling and joyful as they all eagerly awaited the arrival of their new family member—ready to embark on a new chapter of life together.
In the early morning light filtering softly through their courtyard home, casting a gentle golden hue over this tranquil corner, Lin Xiao Yu dressed in loose-fitting maternity wear walked slowly around the yard with one hand resting lightly on her waist—her eyes brimming with anticipation for new life.
On a nearby stone table sat several pots of plants awaiting pruning; Lin Wufeng wore his reading glasses and held a small pair of scissors as he carefully tended to them. From time to time he looked up at his daughter with eyes full of love and concern.
