Lu Anru saw Sheng Ming's awkward look at a glance. Since the painless injection was taking effect, she was in pretty good condition.
After taking two sips of brown sugar millet porridge, he teased Sheng Ming with a slight smile: "It looks like you, doesn't it?"
"What?" Sheng Ming was still in a trance, and her whole body seemed to be floating in the air, which was a very unreal feeling.
Lu Anru glanced at Mother Lu and the others who were playing with the baby, and said softly: "Old people always say that daughters inherit their father's genes. The baby looks like you, right?"
Maybe because she was always frightened by the baby's lack of pupils, she really wished that the baby could have Sheng Ming's beautiful eyes.
Sheng Ming put the straw to Lu Anru's mouth again and warned: "Drink more."
Lu Anru took a few sips, his eyes curled up, and he asked mischievously: "Is it like me?"
Sheng Ming finally found out. If he didn't answer the question, Lu Anru wouldn't give up. He could only hold the bowl in his hand and think about the appearance of the child making faces at him.
He just remembered that the child's skin was very red and wrinkled, and his eyes seemed to have long slits and double eyelids.
"Well, the eyes look like mine and the mouth looks like you."
Sheng Ming gave a stereotypical description.
Xiaoqiao heard what he said and actively called out to the mothers: "It seems that I haven't seen the baby yet. Let's take it in so that I can see it."
"I've told you many times, call me sister-in-law!"
Xiaoqiao's mother emphasized with a stern face.
Xiaoqiao lowered her head in aggrieved manner, and muttered: "The person involved doesn't even care."
"Your brother doesn't bother to pay attention to you at all. All his attention is focused on your sister-in-law. From now on, you must be nicer to your sister-in-law and niece. Flatter them well, which is equivalent to winning your brother's protection."
Xiaoqiao's mother deliberately raised her voice and spoke sweet words to the hero who had just given birth.
"I discovered a long time ago that my sister is my brother-in-law's only weakness."
"Meng Qiao, don't let me hurt you at such a festive time. It's my sister-in-law!"
"Oh, Mom, you are too serious. My brother-in-law has long wanted to marry into his wife. Look at the news he announced before, saying that he is my sister's child."
"Ooooooo, Mom, don't cover my mouth."
"Everyone, please leave the child to me. I will take the child for nursing care."
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, nurse, for making you laugh."
There was a lot of excitement outside the door, but the delivery room was surprisingly quiet. Lu Anru stared deeply at the man at the center of the topic, and his heart overflowed with happiness.
Sheng Ming made her cheeks blush slightly, put the empty bowl on the table at hand, helped Lu Anru tuck the quilt, and asked softly.
"Are you tired? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"not sleepy."
Lu Anru quietly stretched out his hand from the quilt and placed it on the back of Sheng Ming's hand. He was surprised to find that Sheng Ming's hand was so cold.
She became playful and scratched the man's sweaty palms with her little finger.
Sheng Ming pinched the magic formula and warmed her hands, intertwined with the disturbing fingers, leaned over and kissed them one by one, solemnly expressing her gratitude.
"Thank you An Ru, thank you for your hard work."
"Fool, I'm so happy to have our child."
Lu Anru met Sheng Ming's affectionate gaze and confessed sincerely.
The relatives who entered after pushing the door saw the sweet state of the two of them, and left with a tacit understanding, closing the door behind them. They couldn't bear to ruin it.
Lu Anru advocated scientific confinement. Unfortunately, the leaders of the family unanimously rejected her application to take a bath every other day. Especially Bai Jie, who rushed over and hugged the baby and couldn't put it down.
The little baby is very smart. He laughs when he sees Bai Jie and Lu's mother, and cries when he sees Sheng Ming and Sheng's father.
Lu Anru very much suspected that the little devil did it on purpose because he felt uncomfortable being held by the man.
In the beginning, the little devil was very excited at night. He kept his eyes open all night long and could not leave Lu Anru or Lu's mother too far. He especially liked to be held. He has mastered the tricks of grooming and starts crying as soon as he is put back on the bed. Due to the mutual consent between the two, Lu Anru couldn't bear the little devil's pain and never let go at night.
But this special case of doting did not last long. It seemed to be the fifth day. Sheng Ming took the child away and let Lu Anru have a good rest. He was responsible for making milk powder at night.
Lu Anru chased them out but couldn't find them, so he worried all night. The next day I saw Little Guitou, he was much better behaved. He drank milk during the day and slept at night. Even when he got up late at night, he would lie in Lu Anru's arms obediently and go to sleep immediately after a few mouthfuls, for fear of facing Sheng Ming alone.
Being in confinement is comparable to being a suckling pig. Lu Anru only needs to do two things every day, suck the baby and resume some simple exercise. The rest of the time is basically taken back to bed to sleep.
After thirty days of hard work, I finally got through it. Lu Anru left the child with Lu's mother to take care of him for a day, and asked Ella to go out for a walk.
Ella especially wanted to complain. She obviously came to see her goddaughter. She was dressed beautifully and wanted to take a few photos with her goddaughter, but in the end she became a full escort. But considering how difficult it was for my best friend, I silently endured the sadness that I shouldn’t have to bear.
Wearing high heels to accompany Lu Anru around Xingsi City, the pain in his back heel was excruciating and a large piece of it was probably broken.
The two best friends had eaten delicacies similar to snot, and Lu Anru finally pardoned Hong En. They each held a cup of dark green tea and sat beside the golden flying sand fountain to chat.
The midsummer wind in June was very cool, which relieved Ella's depressed mood a little.
After listening to her best friend complaining about how upsetting she was during confinement for two hours, Ella decided to change the topic and guide them to embrace a good attitude again.
"An Ruru, let me tell you something interesting. Last October, many students received a letter from the future."
Lu Anru rubbed his swollen chest and answered the question with his mind wandering: "The baby misses me."
Ella silently tapped her fingers on the table to get attention: "Classmate An Ruru, are you listening to me?"
"Listen, you said you received a letter. There are really not many people who are willing to communicate with pen and paper these days." Lu Anru responded casually.
Click on the bracelet to activate the built-in function of the bra to pump out fresh wet food for the doll. There is a very thin tube connected to the bottle in the powder bag.
"Please find out clearly. The key to this letter is not that it is written on paper and pen, but that it comes from the future and was sent in 1943." Ella emphasized in a very mysterious tone.
Lu Anru raised his hand to cover his mouth and burst into laughter: "Ha, it's a prank. I won't believe other people's nonsense until Dean Huo announces the success of the time shuttle research."
"It's quite like a prank."
Ella smashed her lips and agreed, and the next second she cursed: "But the person who did this prank is so wicked, and the content he wrote was particularly unfavorable. He wrote that there was a big war on March 30, 1941, and Huo, Yue, Ye, Fan, Zhou, Huang, and Mou Quan are dead. Don’t you think it’s such a bad thing to curse the death of the president and teachers.”
"Yes." Lu Anru nodded heavily and asked curiously: "Does it have a signature and a postmark? Through these two points, maybe we can find out the bad guy behind the scenes."
"Yes, the signature is selfish AR, and the postmark is extremely fake. We checked and there is no such post office." Ella complained angrily.
The familiar signature rushed into his ears, and Lu Anru's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to think deeply, her computer vibrated.
Ella glanced at the name of the caller and complained sourly: "Your dear husband has summoned you, and my wife is laid off."
"Let's go back and see your fucking daughter."
Lu Anru shook the computer and invited Sour Lemon La.
Ella immediately wiped away all her unhappiness and stood up and agreed: "Okay, let's go. I want to see if my little baby has grown up."
When the two best friends returned home, Ella quickly walked into the baby's room and lay down next to the crib to play with the baby.
Put the newly bought toys next to the doll, and never forget to promise: "When you can leave, your godmother will take you back to earth to play."
The doll grabbed Ella's hand and refused to give it away, as if hanging from a hook. Ella felt a sense of accomplishment and talked about some more ideas.
For the first five months, Lu Anru was breastfeeding and could not stay too far away from her baby, so she did not go to the prison visit in August and let Sheng Ming and the other two presidents go.
Summer always goes by very quickly. After the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner, autumn slowly enters.
The October baby sat up on its own for the first time, and the two old people were so happy that they spent their own money to invite relatives and friends to celebrate.
In fact, the couple knew that the old man was using the name of his granddaughter to relieve boredom. After all, the only familiar people on Jupiter are a large family.
It had been more than a year since they moved to Jupiter, and there was no news about the old dog Xuantian turning into a monster. Lu Anru slowly let go of his vigilance and felt a little sorry for the old man and the child.
She has nothing to do with Sheng Ming being away from humans, but the elderly will become lonely over time, and children cannot grow up learning the Jupiter culture.
So, after seeing off the guests, Lu Anru lay in Sheng Ming's arms and suggested: "Let's go back to Earth to live in the West for half a year, and stay on Jupiter for the other half?"
The two of them had the same mind, and Sheng Ming responded clearly: "Okay, Jupiter is too cold in winter. We will pack up our things tomorrow and prepare to go back to Xizhi for the winter. We just happened to see Master and friends. They haven't seen the doll yet. They are clamoring for us to buy replacement full-moon wine.”
"Okay." Lu Anru happily agreed.
After three days of packing up, the family returned to Earth's West Country.
After Sun Zhu received the news, he immediately asked the housekeeper to decorate his home and courtyard. On the day they arrived, he arranged it for them along with Jie Feng Washing and Full Moon Wine.
Lu Anru made an exception and drank a few more drinks with his friends. Late at night, the old team members gathered together, and it felt like they were back at the barbecue stall. Everyone drank, ate, laughed and cried, freely expressing their longing for each other.
The carnival lasted for three days, and some members who had missions were reluctant to leave.
Since Blunt got together with Yun Fengmeng, he became more and more courageous and went to Sheng Ming to complain.
"President, we really miss the days when you taught. Teacher Ye's level is not low, but you don't understand our laziness. It's best for you to supervise us."
"Well, Dean Huo mentioned this to me. Let me start the remote space class first."
Sheng Ming's eyes also filled with nostalgia. Remote space classes are similar to comprehensive examinations, which can transport teachers and students into the same virtual structural scene.
"That's great." Blunt was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
A beautiful gathering creates a future that people can look forward to, as if everything is developing for the better.
Until one night in mid-November, Lu Anru once again dreamed of a familiar nightmare.
The nightmare this time was so clear that she even saw the real picture of Sheng Ming being surrounded by three Hoosier chickens and his right leg being corroded.
She woke up covered in sweat, looked at Sheng Ming who woke up together, and said fearfully: "I want to see Senior Yin again."
By chance, Lu Anru weaned her baby off breastmilk in advance and went to Hades with Sheng Ming when the chance to visit the prison was approaching once in March.
When Yin Yi saw her, she was still not doing anything right, and joked: "Haha, it's different for this woman to have a husband to nourish her after giving birth. Her figure is so sexy."
"Senior!"
Lu Anru pretended to be angry and snarled. When Yin Yi had laughed enough, she lowered her voice and asked, "Senior, do you really have nothing to tell me?"
"No, I am very satisfied to see you and Xiao Mingming living so happily."
Yoongi replied sternly.
Lu Anru sighed tiredly and tapped out the code with his fingers, but Yin Yi didn't answer at all.
He chatted a little about Yun Fengmeng's choice and asked a few more about the situation in the academy. Anyway, except for Lu Anru's questions, Yin Yi was very interested in everything else.
The prison visit ended in an insignificant conversation, and Lu Anru stood up and left with disappointment.
Suddenly, a call came from behind: "Apprentice, you have given birth to a child and brought it to the master to see."
"Next time, wait until you have the chance."
Lu Anru responded feebly.
Back home, she had nightmares again and again. Sheng Ming couldn't find Xiao Luan who was traveling around the world.
With Xiao Luan's soothing music, she could sleep well for a while, but Xiao Luan could not accompany her day and night, and sometimes she fell asleep unintentionally in the afternoon.
Nightmares would visit as scheduled, and she even had the illusion that she was not watching a dream scene, but actually participating in a war.
She told Ella about her ordeal, and most of the time Ella would just comfort her, saying she was suffering from mild postpartum depression, and advise her to relax and enjoy life.
Tell it to Sheng Ming. Sheng Ming will show trust, but his trust is only based on believing in the existence of nightmares.
In fact, let alone Sheng Ming and Aila, even Lu Anru didn't believe there would be a big war. Because after experiencing all the pressure they put on him, Lao Gou seemed to have truly become a wise king. He set up many good benefits for the people sincerely. According to statistics, the Xia Kingdom's people's happiness index over the past 40 years has greatly exceeded that of other countries.
After spending New Year's Day in a muddle, it's 41 years.
Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, the family decided to return to Jupiter after the New Year.
On Laba Festival, the baby learned to walk, and he brought Lu Anru's favorite strawberry ice cream to her.
Looking at the sensible child, Lu Anru firmly told herself that she must stop thinking nonsense, take care of her family and children, and find some work to be busy after that. Maybe it was as Ella said, she was too busy after giving birth, and people tend to be unpredictable when they are free.
On this New Year's Day, it's time to visit the prison.
Lu Anru thought of Yin Yi's appeal last time, and she vaguely remembered that the doll was very close to Yin Yi in her previous life.
Let's help Yin Yi fulfill her New Year's wish. She and Sheng Ming took the baby to visit the prison.
Yin Yi was particularly happy to see the baby, and the corners of her mouth never dropped, but remained raised.
With the doll there, the couple became the background. Just listening to Yin Yi playing with the doll made the doll giggle non-stop.
For the first time in more than a year, Lu Anru felt that visiting a prisoner was actually quite interesting, and Yin Yi's humor was just right for coaxing children.
Half an hour passed quickly, and they took the baby away. The baby turned back three times and waved goodbye to Yin Yi.
Back home, my parents asked the servants to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner.
The doll suddenly ran to the trash can, pointed at the old bamboo shoots that were about to be thrown away, and shouted the first complete sentence in her life.
"Don't throw it away, don't throw it away, Xiao Yu likes to eat old bamboo shoots."
Lu Anru's face changed with shock, and he hurriedly ran forward, hugged the baby, and apologized to the weird Teng She who was not far away: "I'm sorry, the kid is ignorant and talks nonsense, don't worry about it."
She thought she would see Teng She's anger, but she never expected that she would see Teng She freeze on the spot in shock. For a moment, deep longing flashed through Teng She's coquettish purple eyes.
However, it disappeared in the next second.
