There is someone in this life who will grow old with him.

I slept for a short while. My room faced the street. People who went to the lantern festival in the evening passed by below, looking after each other, laughing and talking happily. In the distance, there were faint sounds of gongs and drums.

Huo Duan hadn't slept much, so he opened his eyes at this moment. Gu Fengyan in his arms moved and hummed softly.

"What's wrong?" Huo Duan brushed away his scattered hair. "It's still early. I'll call you later."

"My stomach feels uncomfortable because I keep moving." Gu Fengyan frowned and dazedly pulled Huo Duan's hand to touch his bulging belly.

The warmth in my palms seemed to have a soothing effect...Jian Jian in my stomach actually became quiet.

Huo Duan turned over and pulled a soft cushion to put on Gu Fengyan's side waist, "It's more comfortable this way. I'll coax Jian Jian, you go to sleep quickly."

His palms never left her, stroking her again and again.

Gu Fengyan buried his head in his arms and closed his eyes for a while.

After the lights were turned on outside, Huo Duan woke up Gu Fengyan and asked the waiter in the building to bring him food. They were all light dishes that were warming and nourishing... Master Zhao was a good cook and the food was tempting.

The two ate before getting dressed and going out. The locals took this temple fair very seriously, with colorful lanterns hung in front of shops and houses, fragrant herbs planted in front of doors, and even the naughty children on the roadside dressed more hastily than usual.

A group of children holding lanterns rushed towards the river. Huo Duan hurriedly protected Gu Fengyan and moved him to the inside, fearing that these little brats would bump into him.

"Watch your step, are you cold?" There was still some snow on the roadside and the wind was cold.

Gu Fengyan rubbed the tip of his ear and said, "I'm almost wrapped up like a dumpling, why are you cold?"

It is not an exaggeration to say that he was like a zongzi. Before he went out, Huo Duan was afraid that he would be cold, so he picked out the thickest winter clothes for him, and wrapped him in a fine fox fur cloak. He also put a hand warmer in the cloak and did not let him take it out for a moment.

The clothes were red, and the cloak was dark red, except for the fluffy fox fur on the edge of the hood, which was snow-white and trembling in the cold wind.

Gu Fengyan's snow-white face was set off by the red clothes. In addition, he was wearing thick clothes and his belly was bulging. From a distance, he looked like a snowball with legs.

Huo Duan burst out laughing and pulled his collar, "Want some sugar snowballs?"

Street vendors were selling candied haws and sugar snowballs made from hawthorn...which were quite suitable for Gu Fengyan.

After the morning sickness got better, Gu Fengyan couldn't keep his mouth shut. When he heard him ask, he nodded quickly, "It's not me who wants to eat...it's your baby who wants to eat."

"This thing is cold, so you should eat less." Huo Duan paid for a bag and passed it to Gu Fengyan on a bamboo stick. He was afraid that he would be greedy, so he would not give the bag to him. "I'll keep the rest for you and eat it when you get home."

Gu Fengyan unexpectedly said nothing, and looked at him with wide eyes, "Try it, it's quite sweet."

Under the light, she looked more and more beautiful. There was a layer of moisture on Gu Fengyan's rosy lips, and Huo Duan felt itchy.

"Really... Then let me try it." His eyebrows raised and he moved closer to Gu Fengyan with a low laugh.

The lips touched lightly, the tip of the tongue hooked it, and tasted the flavor.

Then he gave a very bad comment: "Average."

Taking advantage of others and being so mean, Gu Fengyan was so angry that he jumped up and down, "Which one is not sweet?"

"Neither of them is sweet." Huo Duan snorted twice, with a smile on his lips.

Gu Fengyan grabbed him and beat him, "I think you deserve to be punished..."

The two of them were playing around like elementary school students, causing the people around them to laugh quietly without any malice.

As the night deepened, the lively atmosphere on the riverside reached its peak. The last activity was to release hibiscus, lotus and lotus lanterns on the lake, place candles in the center of the lanterns, and drift along the river, which was very beautiful.

There were so many people that Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan were almost squeezed into meat patties.

Thinking about the baby in her belly, Huo Duan picked up Gu Fengyan high up and, using his height advantage, squeezed to the riverside.

The people behind kept pushing and shoving, and there was cold river water under the steps. Huo Duan had no choice but to hold on to the railings, circle out a boundary, and enclose Gu Fengyan inside, "Hurry, A Yan."

Gu Fengyan placed the hibiscus lantern into the water, and before he could say a few auspicious words... countless fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the surface of the river looked like a river of stars.

The crowd sighed and looked up at the brocade woven from countless sparks.

Seeing that he was staring at her, Huo Duan straightened up and wanted to pick him up so that he could see more clearly. "Do you want to see?"

Gu Fengyan smiled, shook his head and raised his face... At this time, the second wave of fireworks bloomed.

He stood on tiptoe, hooked his arms around Huo Duan's neck and kissed him.

Huo Duan was stunned.

The fire in the sky gradually died down, and Gu Fengyan let go of Huo Duan, smiling and raising his eyebrows, "Is it sweet?"

At this point, the crowd gradually calmed down and resumed the pushing and shoving.

"Sweet." Huo Duan chuckled a few times and hugged Gu Fengyan, "It's so sweet."

As expected, Gu Fengyan did not get up the next day. He dragged Huo Duan to apologize to Manager Li and the others, then went back to sleep wrapped in the quilt.

The sound of gongs and drums has been going on all day, and the sound of firecrackers, coupled with the large number of guests visiting the Laba Festival, has made the place very lively and bustling, and is about to catch up with the atmosphere of the New Year.

Huo Duan came to show his support. After standing outside for a while, he asked someone to prepare some light and nourishing dishes and pastries, and brought them back to the room.

After waking up Gu Fengyan and the other two, they ate. Since no one was disturbing them upstairs, they stood by the window and looked out at the crowds of people queuing up below.

This time he came not only to support Dongfulou, but also to take Gu Fengyan out to relax. Now that they had fun at the temple fair and the new Dongfulou store was completed and on track, there was no point in staying there any longer. So Huo Duan took Gu Fengyan for a walk and bought some local specialties... mostly fun toys and fresh food, and then they returned slowly to Qianmo County.

This trip took seven or eight days, and then I came back to pick up Father Huo. After a lot of twists and turns, it was already the end of the year, and there were only ten days left until New Year's Eve on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The wind and snow had been blowing for five or six days, and the day finally cleared up. The sky was clear with wisps of clouds. The sun melted the snow into water, which dripped down the eaves along the rain chains.

Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and everyone has a happy look on their faces. The lanterns set off the festive atmosphere, and there is hope for the future.

After hibernating for five or six days, Gu Fengyan was finally allowed out to bask in the sun. Wrapped up like a dumpling, he played chess with Huo Duan in the pavilion in the small garden.

The game they were playing was Gobang.

The two more advanced ones really don't know how to do it.

"Hey, I won!" Gu Fengyan killed all the black pieces with his cheating skills, and happily picked them back one by one.

The stove was warm, with two sweet potatoes and some roasted chestnuts roasting on it.

Huo Duanle smiled, picked up one with the tongs, and held it in his hand with the snow paper as a lining, "Ayan is really amazing, I am convinced."

Peel off the brown skin, the sweet potato is roasted until it's juicy and looks golden in the sun.

Attracted by the fragrance, Gu Fengyan moved closer to Huo Duan little by little.

"This is hot, you should eat the chestnuts first." Huo Duan couldn't help laughing.

Gu Fengyan pulled the blanket over to bring the nest over, rubbing his head against Huo Duan's arm, "Strip it for me."

Ever since his belly grew bigger, Huo Duan did everything himself…bathing, dressing, combing hair, washing face, he even wanted to do things himself like eating.

Gu Fengyan is really spoiled. She usually hangs on Huo Duan like a boneless person and loves to act like a spoiled child.

He had a unique way of acting coquettishly, his eyes were full of affection and as soft as silk, and he rubbed his head against her a few times like a raccoon...If that didn't work, he would push the girl towards Jian Jian. After all, there was a layer of belly between them, so he couldn't object.

Huo Duan figured out the routine and knew that he wanted to ask him for something again.

She put the sweet potatoes on a small porcelain plate and started to peel chestnuts for him, smiling indulgently, "So what do you want to do now?"

Anyway, it couldn't be as simple as asking him to peel chestnuts.

The chestnuts were rolled in a porcelain plate and coated with jujube honey. Gu Fengyan ate half and found it choking, so he passed the other half to Huo Duan's lips.

"What did your father tell you this morning?" After Huo Duan finished eating, Gu Fengyan began to ask questions.

"You want to bribe me with this little thing," Huo Duan poured a cup of tea to relieve his greasiness and handed it to Gu Fengyan's lips, "Don't even think about it."

Gu Fengyan straightened up and blocked the celadon cup with one hand, "I want to go too. Take me with you, Mr. Huo."

In the morning, Father Huo took out the dried vegetables and fruits to dry in the sun, and asked Huo Duan to buy some New Year's goods and pick up some of his favorite food and toys to prepare for the New Year.

Huo Duan didn't tell him, probably because he didn't want to take him with him.

Then I knew that he was doing this.

"There are so many people here, do you really want to go?" Huo Duan smiled and handed him a piece of paper with half a piece of sweet potato oozing with honey.

I have been really bored these days. Gu Fengyan's eyes light up and he nodded vigorously, "I want to go."

Huo Duan watched him bite the sweet potato in small bites, his throat rolling up and down for a while, and some images that were not suitable for children appeared in his mind.

"I'll take you if you beg me to," he said with a malicious smile, "I love to hear Ayan's screams... Didn't I teach you that day?"

What good things can be taught between the sheets? Just dirty words.

Gu Fengyan's ears were red, she endured it and whispered, "Husband, husband..."

It is really useful.

Huo Duan narrowed his eyes, curled his lips, held Gu Fengyan's lips, and kissed her tenderly, "You scream so beautifully. Your husband will take you there, but..."

Gu Fengyan secretly thought that something was wrong, and Huo Duan came closer with a smile and whispered the second half of the sentence... Gu Fengyan blushed when he heard it.

"Beast." He stared at Huo Duan and cursed in a low voice.

Huo Duan rubbed Gu Fengyan's lips with his fingertips, peeled them apart, and reached in, stirring them erotically... He laughed hoarsely, "Ayan, save your mouth for nighttime, in case your throat becomes hoarse again..."

These days, the more devotedly Huo Duan served, the more ruthless he became when he got on the couch. Although he didn't dare to use real weapons, he still did all the fun and exploration that was needed.

This made Gu Fengyan regretful to the point that he should not have set this precedent last time.

Watching Huo Duan serving him with a smile, he always inexplicably felt like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.

It's totally off-putting.

"You even don't let a pregnant man go, you're such a dog." Gu Fengyan was stubborn and scolded him.

The only thing about my husband that is the toughest is his mouth.

Huo Duan was not angry at all, and smiled in a gangster way, "I am a dog, so why does A Yan hang out with me every night, huh?"

Gu Fengyan suffered a heart attack.

No matter how tough he was, he couldn't escape a beating that night.

When Gu Fengyan woke up the next day, his legs were trembling and the insides hurt where the fabric touched. He probably had red skin. His throat was hoarse and the corners of his eyes were red. It was obvious that he had not slept well.

Huo Duan brought in breakfast, feeling refreshed.

Seeing Gu Fengyan still curled up in the corner of the bed, he went over to pull the quilt away and chuckled, "Ayan, let's go buy New Year's goods today, get up and eat quickly."

"Stay away from me." Gu Fengyan choked, and his throat seemed to be wrapped in a ball of coarse sand.

Huo Duan chuckled and leaned over to kiss his exposed snow-white neck, "Not going? Then I can leave?"

"That's wishful thinking!" Gu Fengyan suddenly sat up from the bed.

I've worked hard all night and haven't received my reward yet. I can't let that bastard Huo Duan take advantage of me.

Huo Duan couldn't help laughing, he took some clothes and gave them to him to wear. After dinner, he carefully wrapped a cloak around him, held a hand warmer, and covered half of his face with a hood before he let him go out without worry.

It was still early and the snow outside had not yet melted. The red lanterns hanging high on the roadside were spinning, reflecting a layer of joy on the snow.

Having not been out for a long time, Gu Fengyan found everything new to him. He grabbed Huo Duan, his free labor and money bag, and asked for this and that. After shopping for half an hour, he did not buy any New Year's goods but only bought small things for him.

"Mr. Huo, look at this. Buy it for Jian Jian. He will definitely like it." Gu Fengyan stared at the pair of chubby and round clay dolls in front of the stall with shining eyes.

"Did you really buy it for Jian Jian?" Huo Duan took a clay doll and looked at it carefully, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Could it be that you, the little father, want to push it onto Jian Jian?"

Gu Fengyan’s routine is really simple.

Whenever there is something he wants to eat but can't, or something he wants to play but is not suitable for the time, he can just push the blame onto Jian Jian... It can be seen how much blame the little brat has taken for his little daddy.

Even though his little thoughts were exposed, Gu Fengyan was not panicked at all. "The child is in my belly, whatever I say is what it is..."

He smiled slyly, "Why, you don't want to buy it? The child hasn't even been born yet, and Mr. Huo wants to mistreat us, father and son?"

Huo Duan pinched the flesh on his cheek and smiled indulgently, "I've told you everything you can say."

I picked out a pair of colorful clay figurines from the stall owner, and just as I was about to pay the money, I turned around and saw Gu Fengyan running away.

He walked around the entire street. Huo Duan was like an old nanny, buying New Year's goods while looking after Gu Fengyan and giving him small things from time to time... After all this, his hands were full.

The food, daily necessities and toys bought for the New Year were all things that Gu Fengyan liked. Father Huo instructed that he could buy whatever Brother Yan liked.

One has to pray for good luck during the Chinese New Year, so the two finally stopped at the door of a cloth shop. There were quite a few people inside, and Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan were regular customers. The shopkeeper was sharp-eyed and hurriedly brought a waiter out to greet them. He respectfully invited them into the back hall and offered them the best fabrics right away.

"You two can take a look at this one. It's new in the store, and few people in the whole county wear it... The color is also festive." The owner of the cloth shop personally entertained the guests.

The material is red, which is suitable for wearing during the New Year holidays.

Huo Duan really liked to see Gu Fengyan wearing red, so all the clothes he wore these days were made red.

"Okay, this one." Gu Fengyan didn't care about clothes, so he spread out his arms and asked the waiter to measure his size.

Huo Duan picked and chose and finally made a new dress for himself, which was moon-white in color, while the one for his father was made of fragrant-colored material with gold edges.

Although Jian Jian was not yet born, he also had a share, wearing a light and thin shirt of the same color as his little father, a tiger-head hat and tiger-head shoes with five-colored beads...

Dusk was rising in the sky and the streets were gradually lit up... I was shocked to realize that it was already night.

After a day out, it was time to go home, so Huo Duan asked someone to send his things back and planned to walk back with Gu Fengyan. They would stroll along the road alone, and the warm yellow light of the red lanterns would warm their hearts.

But Gu Fengyan was not willing to go back, and he dragged Huo Duan to the teahouse to listen to the last storytelling... It was the old-fashioned story of a scholar and a young lady who met each other, secretly promised to spend their lives together, but ended up with a broken heart and death.

The plot was so old-fashioned that Huo Duan lost interest in listening to it and just drank tea and ate snacks.

Gu Fengyan was fascinated by the story and cried till his eyes turned red at the end.

The music ended and the people in the teahouse dispersed. A thin layer of snowflakes floated down from the sky, shining brightly under the lights, and it felt a little cold.

Under the lamp, Gu Fengyan's eyes were red, and a circle of snow-white hair on his hood was flying around, surrounding his pointed chin.

"Are you still crying?" Huo Duan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his tears.

After Gu Fengyan got pregnant, her tears became more frequent, as if they were made of water.

He didn't say anything either. He hugged Huo Duan's waist and arched his body into his cloak, rubbing his face against his chest like a little animal.

Huo Duan stuck close to him and said with a smile: "What are you doing, A Yan? Are you tired?"

There was a bustling crowd of people coming back from teahouses and pubs, rushing home in the snow before curfew.

During the break, I saw that they were very close to each other, so I was not surprised and joked, "Young man, why don't you take your husband home? The snow is getting heavier..."

"Yeah." Huo Duan replied with a smile.

He held Gu Fengyan's face and kissed her, "I'll carry you back, okay?"

His belly was too big and carrying Jianjian would weigh him down, and he was worried about letting him walk alone on the slippery road.

"I'm sleepy and want to sleep." Gu Fengyan was really spoiled by Huo Duan like a child.

Huo Duan untied his cloak, wrapped it around his head, and laughed, "Okay, let's go home."

She bent her knees and picked up Gu Fengyan, asked him to sit on her arms, and hooked her neck so as not to press on her stomach.

Gu Fengyan was slender and much smaller than Huo Duan, so it was effortless to hold him...

The wind and snow grew stronger, covering his body and head. Gu Fengyan seemed no longer sleepy. He lifted his hood, raised his face from Huo Duan's neck, and looked at the dark blue sky.

"What's wrong?" Huo Duan pulled his cloak and wrapped it around his waist as he walked. "You'll catch a cold if you keep the hat on."

You should bring an umbrella when you go out.

The lanterns on the roadside swayed, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, reflecting the overlapping shadows of the two people... Their heads and cloaks were all white, gradually melting into cold water.

Gu Fengyan shook his head, raised his hand to catch a snowflake, and waited for it to melt into a little coolness.

"Boss Huo," Under the warm yellow light, he lowered his eyes and stared at Huo Duan, with a smile on his lips, "We will grow old together."

A few drunks returning home were singing toast songs, arm in arm, and staggering by...their laughter and scolding disappeared in the wind in an instant.

"What kind of white hair is this..." Huo Duan stopped and stared at a string of messy footprints on the snow for a long time before coming back to his senses. He raised his hand to pull his hood back over the eaves and said, "We still have ten, twenty... a hundred years to live. By then, you and I will both be old men."

He continued walking forward, looking up at the sky in a trance, with fine snow falling towards him.

"Who wants to become an old man with you!" Gu Fengyan smiled and scolded with his chin resting on Huo Duan's shoulder.

Huo Duan did not comment, but walked forward step by step, with a smile on his lips, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, he said, "There is no moon tonight..."

He stopped again, and in the flickering light, he stared at Gu Fengyan, with a gleam in his eyes, "Ayan, I love you."

When I was about to walk to the entrance of the alley of Huo Mansion, I saw two lanterns swinging back and forth in the distance... That was my home.

The tip of the ear was red and bleeding.

"Bastard." Gu Fengyan cursed softly, their noses touching and their lips rubbing against each other.

He didn't respond, but just called Huo Duan over and over again, calling him a bastard.

Isn't that a bastard?

He lost his body and his heart, and he was pregnant with a baby... He gave his body to Huo Duan, his heart to Huo Duan, and the baby in his belly was also Huo Duan's.

But he also won, and Huo Duantan also gave him everything.

On a snowy night, they fell in love... From the initial mutual benefit and dependence to their physical and mental dedication.

There are countless days and nights, mornings and evenings to come.

Grow old together.

Huo Duan couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

"Let's go home, Ayan!" He held Gu Fengyan and ran towards the two lanterns.

Towards their home...

After New Year's Eve and the beginning of spring, Dongfulou's business became more and more prosperous, and soon another branch was opened.

Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan are still the suppliers of medicinal materials, but this time they didn't have time to join in the fun.

They went back to the village. Jiang Xuerui gave birth to a boy in April, and Gu Fengyan's belly was getting bigger and bigger. After hearing the news, she also wanted to go back to the village to see him.

After visiting Jiang Xuerui, Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan concentrated on taking care of their pregnancies at home.

They made a lot of clothes for the children, as well as all kinds of small gadgets, which filled up the house, but they still felt it was not enough. Or maybe they wanted to relieve stress through shopping, so they moved the children's things into the house one by one and put them everywhere.

Finally, Father Huo couldn't stand it anymore and scolded them a few words before they calmed down.

May passed in chaos and war, and there was still a month left before Gu Fengyan's due date.

His belly has been getting bigger these days, and he has been suffering from back pain and waist pain every day. He often wakes up at night. Huo Duan is so distressed that he cries. He stays by his side whenever he eats or sleeps. Even when he is sleeping soundly, he will get up immediately to rub Gu Fengyan's waist if he hears a groan.

"It's obviously my baby, why are you so nervous?" Gu Fengyan put a grape to Huo Duan's lips.

It was mid-June and the weather had begun to get hot. The windows of the bedroom were open and cool breezes blew in. Gu Fengyan leaned on the chaise longue and asked Huo Duan to peel some grapes for him.

He looks exactly like a tyrant.

Huo Duan's brows were furrowed these days, as tight as if they could pinch a fly to death, and he never relaxed for a moment.

"Didn't you tell me that the village has a good harvest of medicinal herbs? Why don't you go back to check on the situation?" Huo Duan ate the grapes and Gu Fengyan wiped his hands with a handkerchief before speaking.

Huo Duan peeled a bunch of grapes, washed his hands, and came over to massage Gu Fengyan's waist. "You will see Jian Jian in half a month. I am always worried about you..."

In other families, the husband would comfort his son, but in their case, it was Gu Fengyan who comforted Huo Duan.

"Rui Ge'er is fine, don't worry about these things. The bumper harvest of medicinal herbs in the village is a good thing. Let's take some time to go back and take a look. It's time to consider expanding the planting." Gu Fengyan tilted his head to look out the window and smiled, "There will be more mouths to feed in a while, and as a father, I have to prepare a lot..."

Gu Fengyan is very carefree. He was a little scared a few months ago, but now he feels very relaxed.

"Ayan is right." Huo Duan smiled and felt that he was too nervous.

I asked Mr. Lin and he said that Gu Fengyan could move around properly and give birth easily.

They would be gone for more than ten days this time, so Huo Duan packed a lot of things. Since he often lived in the village, Huo Duan asked someone to renovate the house in March, and the furniture inside was all made of good wood.

Gu Fengyan's life was quite comfortable.

During the day, Huo Duan followed the villagers to collect and purchase medicinal herbs, while Gu Fengyan was taken care of by Huo Xiuling, Liu Jingyu and Jiang Xuerui in turn, and then he took over at night.

After seven or eight days of coming and going, most of the medicinal materials had been harvested, leaving only the final ones.

That day, they were harvesting the crops from their own fields in the ditch. Gu Fengyan hadn't been out for a long time, so he felt itchy and decided to go along after hesitating for a long time. He just wanted to have fun, walk around and take in the scenery.

It was the busy farming season, and the crops in the fields were full and the villagers were harvesting with sickles and threshing the wheat on the spot. The aroma of wheat drifted far away in the wind.

Cuckoos are singing among the branches.

Gu Fengyan stayed for a while, watching Huo Duan put away the herbs, and looked at him from time to time.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." He held a bunch of wild berries that Ye Bao had picked for him and ate so much that his lips and teeth turned purple.

Seeing him grinning with his big black teeth bared, Huo Duan burst out laughing and came over to wipe his mouth with a handkerchief, "Eat less of this stuff, be careful of getting cold and hurting your stomach."

"Do you want to eat?" Gu Fengyan didn't care at all.

"Keep it for yourself, there aren't many left..." Huo Duan put away his handkerchief and looked at the few herbs left on the field. "Let's go back after we finish cleaning up."

"Be good and don't run around. Call me if you feel uncomfortable."

"I understand..." Gu Fengyan agreed repeatedly, his mouth stuffed like a little squirrel.

Huo Duan smiled and shook his head, then turned back to continue collecting herbs.

Gu Fengyan finished eating a bunch of wild berries and felt sick of the taste, so he poured himself a bowl of water to drink. He didn't notice that his hand loosened and a bunch of dark red berries fell to the ground.

When Ye Bao heard that his little nephew was about to be born, he was so happy that he picked berries for half a day and only got a few bunches, so he gave them all to him.

It’s all thoughtful... Gu Fengyan thought about it and tried to bend down to pick it up.

After feeling it in his hand, he slowly straightened up... Suddenly, his lower abdomen began to hurt violently as if someone had kicked him hard.

Gu Fengyan had consulted both Mr. Lin and Jiang Xuerui, and he knew what this meant.

"Mr. Huo..." His face was pale and his tone was extremely calm as he called Huo Duan in a low voice.

Huo Duan didn't understand what was going on, so he came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't seem to be feeling well." Gu Fengyan forced a pale smile and pointed at his stomach, "It's Jian Jian..."

Huo Duan's pupils shrank, and he immediately dropped everything, ran over, hugged Gu Fengyan, and rushed straight to the main road at the entrance of the village...

"Ayan, you, you hold on for a while, you hold on for a while." His voice was shaking abnormally.

Cold sweat dripped down Gu Fengyan's forehead, and his voice became tearful, "Boss Huo, it hurts..."

"Ayan, be good, Ayan, be good," Huo Duan didn't dare to run, he could only walk quickly, choking and unable to speak, he pressed Gu Fengyan into his arms, "It doesn't hurt anymore... It doesn't hurt anymore."

Gu Fengyan kept crying out in pain, and Huo Duan felt a pain in his nose. He hated himself especially. If it weren't for him, Gu Fengyan wouldn't have suffered like this.

Finally they arrived at the entrance of the village. Liang Chengze happened to be at home. After taking a look, he said that there was nothing serious, but the baby was about to be born and needed to be sent to the county as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the county magistrate had already been invited, so Huo Duan did not dare to delay for a moment and took Gu Fengyan back to the county.

Returned in time...Mr. Wen followed a few brothers into the room.

Huo Duan didn't know how he managed to get through this period. For the first time in his life, he knew what it felt like to live every day like a year.

He prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky and the Tathagata in the West, just hoping that Ayana would be healthy and live a long life.

The moment the door opened, he was drenched in sweat, as if he had waded through water.

Everyone was smiling and congratulating him on the birth of his baby boy.

"Where is Ayan? How is he?" He interrupted and grabbed someone to ask, his voice hoarse and trembling.

Wen Gong smiled and said, "It's fine. You can go in and take a look."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Duan had already rushed in.

There was a faint smell of blood in the room, mixed with the scent of milk.

A boy was taking care of Gu Fengyan. Jian Jian had been washed clean and was wrapped in a small ball in a swaddling cloth. She was sleeping next to Gu Fengyan, crying with her hands folded.

The brother coaxed Jian Jian and possessed himself to look after the child for Gu Fengyan.

Seeing him come in, she smiled, put the child down and went out.

Huo Duan rushed to the bedside and choked up, "Ayan, does it still hurt?"

Gu Fengyan was very weak, with no trace of blood on his face. He raised his hand to touch his face, shook his head and smiled, "You are a father now, why are you still crying?"

"I'm not crying. You scared me to death." He sniffed and kissed the back of Gu Fengyan's hand.

"No, no..." Gu Fengyan curled his lips and raised his hand to circle Jian Jian, "Have you seen Jian Jian?"

Huo Duan shook his head before he dared to hold Jian Jian in his arms.

It was soft as the weight of a cloud, a small ball, red and wrinkled, not at all as pretty as his A-Yan.

Jian Jian looked at him with half-open eyes and waved her little hands.

Huo Duan suddenly felt very strange...this child was actually his and A Yan's.

So small.

"Jian Jian, I'm your daddy." Huo Duan knelt beside the bed and looked after Jian Jian, "He's your little daddy, who went through a lot of hardships to give birth to you..."

Jian Jian continued to wave her little hands.

"He can't understand." Gu Fengyan pinched his little hand and said with a smile.

After looking at Jian Jian, Huo Duan just stared at Gu Fengyan, "Would you like some water?"

Gu Fengyan shook his head and stared at him with a smile, "Boss Huo, I'm sleepy."

"Go to sleep." Huo Duan pulled a cushion and sat on the bed, pulling the quilt in place, "I'm here."

Gu Fengyan leaned back and said, "Come up and kiss me."

Huo Duan carefully moved Jian Jian to the innermost part, climbed onto the couch, hugged Gu Fengyan, kissed his forehead, eyebrows, nose tip... and then his dry lips.

"Go to sleep." He raised his hand and held Gu Fengyan in his arms, protecting him tightly, and patted him gently to comfort him.

Gu Fengyan nodded and fell into a deep sleep.

The shadows of trees were swaying outside the window. Jianjian was very well behaved and didn't make any noise or cry.

Huo Duan carefully traced Gu Fengyan's eyebrows...over and over again.

Four seasons and twelve months pass by, and time flies by.

There is someone in this life who will grow old with him.
