Xiao Yao was asleep when she had a dream. A chubby, rosy doll was holding something that looked like Yuanbao, giggling as it walked toward her. Looking at the doll that seemed to have stepped out of a traditional New Year painting, Xiao Yao felt an overwhelming sense of affection and inexplicably wanted to hold it close and give it a kiss.
The doll reached her feet and handed the Yuanbao to Xiao Yao. "Hug me, hug me."
"Um, do you want me to hug you?" Xiao Yao squatted down, ready to embrace the doll, but unexpectedly, the doll nimbly dodged away!
"Don't you want your mother to hug you?" Xiao Yao pouted, suddenly realizing and covering her mouth in surprise. Did she just call herself 'mother'? Could this child be... Xiao Yao stared in astonishment at the chubby doll before her.
To her surprise, the doll just giggled and shook its head. "No, no, you got it wrong, got it wrong."
Got it wrong? What did she get wrong? Xiao Yao frowned when suddenly she heard a voice coming from somewhere, "Mother, Mother!"
Huh? Someone is calling me? The surroundings were pitch black. Xiao Yao looked around but couldn't find where the voice was coming from. She anxiously called out, "Baby, baby! Where are you? Let Mother... oh no, let me see you, okay?"
"Mother, Mother, I'm right here! I'm right in front of you!" the voice replied.
Hmm? In front of me? Xiao Yao looked down and saw that what was once a Yuanbao in her arms had completely transformed into a delicate boat. At that moment, the darkness was illuminated; the surroundings were filled with the sounds of birds and fragrant flowers. The warm sunlight poured over her, making her feel comfortable and content. In front of her was a gentle stream.
The exquisite boat that should have been in her arms suddenly flew above the stream. From both ends of the boat's cabin emerged two children who looked just like younger versions of He Yu! Xiao Yao was completely stunned! Her heart skipped a beat as one child exclaimed, "Mother, we miss you so much!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yao felt her heart soften. She knelt down and reached out to touch the children's fair faces with her fingers. "Yes, Mother misses you too! I can't wait for you to meet your father Parents."
"Yes! My brother and I have been waiting for Father Parents for hundreds of years! This time we must come out and be with Father Parents."
"Hundreds of years?"
"Yes! We've been waiting for several hundred years!" the other child chimed in excitedly.
"What does this mean?" Xiao Yao suddenly recalled how familiar she felt when she first met He Yu. What was going on?
"That is..." Just as the children were about to explain, a brilliant light suddenly shone forth, and both children disappeared along with the stream. The house remained, the trees were still there, the grass was still there, and the sunlight continued to shine; only the children were gone.
Only two Bodhi Seeds remained on the ground, and they flashed with two beams of light, flying towards the horizon. At the same time, a solemn voice echoed in Xiao Yao's ear, "Your child is ultimately your child; there is no need to rush. You only need to live peacefully, and when the time comes, they will surely appear by your side."
When it was over, Xiao Yao felt a wave of darkness wash over her. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself under a canopy bed. Xiao Yao let out a long sigh of relief. Just then, He Yu walked in. Seeing Xiao Yao staring at the bed canopy, he smiled and quickly stepped forward, taking her hand and saying, "You’re awake."
"Mm," Xiao Yao nodded. "What time is it now?"
"You’ve slept for an hour. Do you want to get up?" He Yu asked gently.
"Okay, can you carry me to the couch?" Xiao Yao pouted. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she felt particularly fond of being held by He Yu. He Yu indulged her and immediately picked her up, carefully placing her on the couch. "Do you want some water?"
"Mm, I want that red date and yellow tea," Xiao Yao began to make requests again.
"That’s no problem!" He Yu replied. Being knowledgeable about medicine, he knew that red dates nourish blood while yellow tea replenishes energy. Meanwhile, Yun Bi, who was standing outside, heard this and without waiting for He Yu's instructions, silently went to the tea room.
Leaning against the welcoming pillow on the couch, Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Dear, I just had a dream."
"Oh? It must have been a good dream; tell me about it," He Yu replied with a smile.
"How do you know it was a good dream?" Xiao Yao challenged. "What if it was a nightmare?"
"If it were a nightmare, would you still be this calm? You would have been crying in my arms by now," He Yu teased as he playfully pinched Xiao Yao's nose.
"…Alright." Xiao Yao shyly touched her nose; He Yu was indeed speaking the truth. Seeing Xiao Yao looking down, He Yu knew he had hit the mark and couldn't help but smile proudly. After all, how could he not understand his own woman? This little issue was nothing difficult for him.
Xiao Yao thought for a moment and recalled before saying, "I dreamed that our baby gave me a golden Yuanbao, and then I thought that baby was our little one."
"Oh?" He Yu, who had been accompanying Xiao Yao in conversation, suddenly became interested and leaned closer. "And then? Wasn't that baby ours?"
Xiao Yao honestly shook her head. "No..."
"Is that so?" Hearing this, He Yu felt a bit disappointed, but he didn't show it and smiled, saying, "Then you continue."
Although He Yu tried hard to hide it, Xiao Yao noticed his disappointment. She reached out to hold his hand and comfortingly patted it, saying, "It's not over yet; why are you in such a hurry?"
"Then you continue..." He Yu saw Xiao Yao's gesture and realized she had noticed. Although he felt a bit embarrassed, his heart softened, feeling enveloped in happiness.
Then Xiao Yao carefully described the dream to He Yu. The more He Yu listened, the wider his eyes grew. "You... do you mean we are twins?!"
"How would I know?" Xiao Yao shot him a glare. "It was just a dream! I have no idea if it's one or two. It could just be one this time!"
"But aren't you two?"
"What if one comes a few years later?" Xiao Yao mumbled with a blush. "Who can say for sure..."
Hearing Xiao Yao talk about having another child in a few years made He Yu so excited he couldn't contain himself. This morning, seeing her so scared, he thought that after this pregnancy, that would be it. He figured Xiao Yao wouldn't want to have another child, but unexpectedly, she was already considering a second!
He Yu pulled Xiao Yao into an embrace and kissed her on the lips. "Alright then, whether it's one or two, they will all be our treasures!" After saying that, he started kissing her face randomly.
Xiao Yao found it hard to tolerate his antics and pushed him away, wrinkling her nose. "Stop it; I'm not done yet!"
"Okay, you." He Yu seized the last opportunity and kissed her earlobe again. Xiao Yao's earlobe quickly turned red at an observable speed, making He Yu feel incredibly happy.
Xiao Yao really couldn't deal with her kiss-crazy man anymore. She shifted to the side, trying to escape his reach. However, no matter how she moved, the couch was only so big, and there was a table in the middle. Where could she hide? With a swift reach of his long arm, He Yu pulled the struggling Xiao Yao back into his embrace.
Seeing that Xiao Yao still wanted to evade him, He Yu quickly said, "Alright, alright, I won't bother you anymore. What is it?"
"Well, just now in the dream, I heard the children talking to me. They have been waiting to reunite with us for hundreds of years. What does that mean? Do you know?" Xiao Yao asked in confusion.
The two sat side by side. Xiao Yao didn't turn her head quickly enough to see He Yu's expression at that moment and thus had no idea what he was thinking.
He Yu's eyes quickly flashed with a hint of astonishment, followed by a wave of pain and regret that spread across his entire gaze, turning his eyes red. He suppressed the terrifying guess in his heart and forced a smile, saying, "What do you mean? Perhaps they are the celestial beings' attendants, so they already knew we would be together, which is why they waited for so long."
"Really?" Xiao Yao seemed skeptical. She continued to speak to herself, "Actually, when I first saw you, I felt quite familiar with you, as if I had seen you somewhere before."
He Yu turned his head away, desperately trying to suppress his emotions. At that moment, his throat felt tight; he couldn't speak now for fear that he would lose control.
However, Xiao Yao waited for half a moment without any response. Curious, she turned her head and saw He Yu staring blankly out the window. She reached out and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"Huh? What?" He Yu pretended to be lost in thought and turned back in confusion. "What did you just say?"
"Forget it; you weren't even listening to me seriously," Xiao Yao pouted. "Good words don't need to be repeated; once it's past the time, it's gone!"
He Yu forcibly suppressed the emotions within him and put on a shameless expression. "Alright, Daughter-in-law, it was my fault, okay? What were you saying? Can you tell me again?"
"Never mind; it's not important!" Xiao Yao waved her hand dismissively. "I thought about it, and your explanation makes sense; it should be like that. Let's not dwell on it. What were you thinking about just now?"
"Oh," He Yu chuckled lightly, coughed once, and then said, "I was thinking that our East Back Courtyard hasn't been used yet. How about we save it for the kids to stay in later?"
"Great! Great!" Xiao Yao was very pleased to hear this. "That place is quite spacious; let's plan it out well!"
