In early February, just a few days before the Spring Festival, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong went to Hai City to attend the engagement party of Du Yunkai and the wedding of Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong, Wenxi witnessed their happiness and told Du Yunkai that he could propose to her again. Du Yunkai was so excited that he even grabbed the bride's bouquet.
However, in the following months, the game went from internal testing to public testing, and coupled with other work in the studio, Du Yunkai was extremely busy, and so was Wenxi, so there was never a suitable opportunity.
During the New Year's Day holiday, Du Yunkai asked Wenxi out to create romance, but in fact he was preparing a proposal ceremony so that he could finally bring her home.
Du Yunkai's parents were very happy and suggested holding a grand engagement party first. They picked several dates for the wedding, and finally Du Yunkai and Wenxi decided on the one in early May, which is between spring and summer, not too cold and not too hot, and suitable for all kinds of outdoor activities.
After attending the engagement party and returning to Taojia Village, Liu Wangxue was washing up early the next morning when she suddenly discovered something: her period, which was always very punctual, was late by a whole day.
She was a little excited for a moment. She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face, then immediately went back to the bedroom to get the pregnancy test strips that Xu Qingsong had bought earlier. She returned to the bathroom, pushed Xu Qingsong, who was wiping his face, out, closed the door and started the test.
The moment Xu Qingsong came back in, he caught a glimpse of what she was holding, and his mind immediately reacted. He knew her period was delayed as soon as he thought about the date. After being pushed out, he did not leave, but stood at the door and asked her, "Are you really pregnant? How do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Liu Wangxue was unpacking: "Don't talk yet, wait until I finish the test."
Xu Qingsong immediately shut up and fell into the torment of waiting.
After Xu Qingsong bought the test paper, he asked Liu Wangxue to take the test. However, at that time, the two were preparing things for the trip to Hai City. Liu Wangxue forgot about it because of this interruption. When Xu Qingsong asked again, they were about to leave for the high-speed rail station, so he said he would take the test after he came back.
Liu Wangxue followed the steps, placed the test paper on the packaging bag, packed up and threw away the other things, stared almost without blinking, and waited.
Xu Qingsong paced back and forth outside the door. He didn't know how many minutes had passed, but it felt like an eternity. Finally, he couldn't help but knock on the door and asked, "Xuxu? Wife? How's it going? Is the result out?"
After waiting for another two seconds, the bathroom door opened. Liu Wangxue looked calm at first, but then couldn't help laughing and pulled Xu Qingsong in: "Look for yourself!"
Xu Qingsong looked at her expression and his heart also began to fluctuate greatly. He lowered his head to look at the sink and saw two particularly obvious lines. His mouth was almost cracked to his ears. He excitedly hugged Liu Wangxue and kissed her several times. He didn't know what to say.
Liu Wangxue asked him with a smile: "Are you happy?"
Xu Qingsong nodded vigorously, then lowered his head and kissed her: "I'm so happy! Oh my God——"
After saying that, he picked up Liu Wangxue and went back to the bedroom: "Go back and change clothes quickly, don't catch a cold."
Xu Qingsong put her on the bed and went to the closet to pick out clothes for her, wishing he could put all the warm clothes on her.
Liu Wangxue sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and smiled at him: "Why don't you come over here and sit down to calm down?"
Xu Qingsong took down another thick sweater and came over to hug her: "I can't calm down for the time being. By the way, I won't go to the studio today. Do I need to go to the hospital for a check-up? Let's go after breakfast. Let's go to the city hospital first."
The studio started to take a holiday before Du Yunkai and Wenxi's engagement party. Xu Qingsong had a new idea on his way back from Hai City yesterday, so he planned to go there to work overtime. However, overtime is definitely not as important as the person in front of him, so he put it aside for the time being.
Liu Wangxue leaned her entire weight on him: "Okay, but you have to think of an excuse. Wait until the medical examination report is confirmed before telling my parents." She was afraid of being disappointed.
"Okay." Xu Qingsong nodded.
The three little ones squatted in a row beside the bed and looked at the two people on the bed, as if asking, why are you so excited, aren’t you going out for a morning run?
Xu Qingsong reached out a hand to touch Pengpeng's head - Xiaoci and Guagua were too short to reach - regardless of whether they could understand or not, he instructed: "It is officially announced that there will be another baby in the family in the future. You, as the older brothers, must protect mom first, understand?"
Liu Wangxue smiled and patted him: "What are you talking about?"
Xu Qingsong also laughed: "To educate children, practice with them first."
At this time, Xiaoci jumped onto the bed, climbed up Liu Wangxue's legs, and gently pressed a paw on her lower abdomen: "Meow~"
Xu Qingsong touched Xiaoci's head and responded as if he understood what it said: "Yes, that's right, our little fat kid is really well behaved."
Xiaoci was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to look at Liu Wangxue with her emerald green eyes.
Liu Wangxue picked it up and kissed it, thinking it understood the competition for favor, and coaxed it with a smile: "Don't worry, even if you have a baby, you are still my and Dad's beloved treasure." She nudged Xu Qingsong with her elbow: "What do you think, right?"
"Yes," Xu Qingsong laughed, holding Guagua who had flown up with one hand, and using the back of his hand to touch the head of Dingding who was lying on the edge of the bed, "You all are."
After changing clothes and going out for a morning run, something strange happened. The three little ones seemed to really understand Xu Qingsong's instructions. Xiaoci didn't let Liu Wangxue hold him, and Pengpeng didn't run wildly as usual when he got to the asphalt road. Instead, he jogged slowly and followed Liu Wangxue all the time. He didn't speed up when Xu Qingsong called him, and Guagua didn't fly freely, but stood on Liu Wangxue's shoulder all the way.
Xu Qingsong expressed satisfaction: "Education has achieved fruitful results."
After breakfast, the two found an excuse to go to the city, saying they wanted to go shopping and buy some New Year's goods. In two days, Xu Qingsong's parents and grandparents will come back. Beibei and Kangkang have also returned to Xishi with their junior uncle and aunt, saying they will also come to play for two days, so the family needs to prepare more things.
The two of them drove off without taking the three little ones with them and went straight to the hospital. They arrived a little late and the report would not be available until the afternoon, so they went to the mall first, bought some things, had lunch, and then went to pick up the report.
The result was correct, the baby was coming. Everything seemed fine, but it was still early, so the doctor asked them to come back for other tests later.
After leaving the hospital and getting back in the car, the two couldn't contain their joy and hugged each other for a long time before going home.
Along the way, they chatted about themselves and about their relatives and friends.
Xu Qingsong discussed with Liu Wangxue: "Has the start date of the third part this year been confirmed? Can you not go with the crew then? Especially when we go to shoot on location, it's so far away, and I can't go with you, I'm worried." Liu Wangxue had a plan in advance: "The start time is not yet determined, but I have already said hello to Director Meng. The baby is here, so I won't go with the crew for this one. Didn't we invite several screenwriters to help with the script revision before? I have agreed with Sister Yunxiang to let Ji Tao go in my place. The crew he is currently with is about to finish filming, and it seems that there is no plan for the future. Besides, he is a calm person, and his level is the best among them. If you encounter any problems, you can communicate with me online."
Xu Qingsong was relieved, but worried that she would be bored at home, he told her about the pregnancy plan he had already drawn up, which they had to complete together.
Liu Wangxue's heart felt warm and full of anticipation after hearing this. If Xu Qingsong hadn't been driving, she would have gone over and hugged him.
Xu Qingsong couldn't stand her affectionate gaze: "If you keep staring at me like this, I'll have to pull over to the side of the road."
"Hahaha..." Liu Wangxue laughed, "No, I will just watch you."
"Okay, you see." Xu Qingsong compromised easily and turned to talk about plans related to the baby: "By the way, the baby room needs to be prepared. Which room do you want to use?"
Liu Wangxue said, "Let's just live in the room next to ours. We can just live in the attic forever. I like it very much and don't want to move around."
"Okay," Xu Qingsong fully respected her opinion and couldn't help patting the steering wheel. "I really want to fly back immediately and tell my parents the good news. They must be very happy too."
Liu Wangxue suggested: "When we get home, let's connect via video first, and tell our parents and grandparents at the same time, how about that?"
Xu Qingsong thought this was a good idea, as the good news should be shared by the whole family. He suddenly thought of Tao Huayu. If Tao's parents knew about this, Tao Huayu would definitely be pressed again.
After hearing this, Liu Wangxue said, "He shouldn't be pushing as hard as before, right? Didn't he say a few days ago that he would bring his girlfriend back to meet his parents after the Spring Festival?"
"That's why Aunt Yuehua is even more anxious," Xu Qingsong was very happy. "She felt that Tao Huayu had finally met a girl who was outstanding in every aspect, but they had been dating for so long without any result. She was afraid that the girl didn't think highly of Tao Huayu and was worried about him."
Liu Wangxue smiled and shook her head: "Could it be that Aunt Yuehua's filter for Tao Huayu is a 'goodness filter'?"
Xu Qingsong said shamelessly: "That's because I have always been an excellent role model and peer by my side since I was a child."
Liu Wangxue: "That's enough!"
"Hahaha..." Xu Qingsong smiled and remembered the call he received when Liu Wangxue went to the bathroom in the hospital just now, "Liang Xi'an and Yao Yao are also getting married. The wedding is scheduled for the end of June. He asked if we are free to attend. He thought you still had to follow the group like the previous two years."
Now that they don't have to go to the crew, Liu Wangxue said, "Of course we have to go! He's your childhood friend, and he and Yao Yao helped a lot when we got married, so we have to go anyway."
Xu Qingsong thought the same thing: "I wonder when Tao Huayu's wedding will be held. Maybe we will have to attend three weddings this year."
The most recent one was the one between Wenxi and Du Yunkai. Liu Wangxue thought of Li Yu again: "The project that Xiaoyu participated in with his mentor is said to be completed by the end of the year. By then, he will have to take leave and come back."
Xu Qingsong nodded: "He must attend his sister Xixi's wedding."
"Oh, right," Liu Wangxue thought of something else, "It looks like the third phase of the amusement park will be completed by June this year. I heard from Sister Yun Xiang that they plan to open both phases one and two for trial operation at the beginning of next year, after the second season is finished."
"Early next year," Xu Qingsong calculated the date. Liu Wangxue's due date is around September this year. Even if she has to take a two-month confinement, it won't waste time at all. "That's perfect. We can go and experience it first."
Liu Wangxue deliberately asked: "By that time, the baby will be four or five months old. Can you really bear to leave him alone to have fun?"
The car stopped at a red light, so Xu Qingsong quickly leaned over to Liu Wangxue, reached out and touched her belly, and said, "Don't say that. Mom and Dad don't want to abandon you. We will definitely take you out to play in the future. This time, we will just scout the way for you to see if it's fun. Just be good and don't make a fuss~"
Liu Wangxue smiled and slapped his hand away: "Look ahead, the red light is about to pass."
Xu Qingsong immediately sat up straight and took hold of the steering wheel again.
Liu Wangxue continued, "It just so happens that the three phases of the amusement park will be fully open after the third episode is finished. By then, the baby will be over one year old, so we can take him with us."
"Okay," Xu Qingsong turned the steering wheel and followed the traffic to turn right, "There is one thing I can't forget."
"What's the matter?" Liu Wangxue asked.
Xu Qingsong said: "Shi Xi promised at the beginning that he would draw a family portrait for us after the baby was born."
"Oh, right!" If he hadn't said it, Liu Wangxue would have forgotten about it. "Call him tomorrow and make an appointment first."
"We have to hurry up and make an appointment," Xu Qingsong said with a smile, "This guy is very famous now, if you are late you will miss out on getting a number."
Liu Wangxue touched her belly unconsciously: "I don't know who the baby will look like in the future."
"I hope to be like you." said Xu Qingsong.
Liu Wangxue turned and looked at him: "I also hope to be like you."
Xu Qingsong quickly turned his head and looked at her. The corners of his mouth had been upturned the whole day, and at this moment he couldn't help but humming a song, a nursery rhyme, "Baby Baby".
Liu Wangxue was really touched by his cuteness.
The sunlight falling on the back of my hand through the car window, the shadows of the trees passing by, the flat and wide road ahead, everything is moving towards the beautiful expectation... (End of this chapter)
