Pampered By All In Different Planes

"Chicken? A little chicken?" Xiangsheng tilted his head, pulling out a squeaky chicken toy to show Su Zhiruan.

"This is a little chicken, so what is this little animal?" Su Zhiruan sat next to Xiangsheng, playing with toys together.

Wen Qingyu also sat beside him, helping him recognize the little animals.

Su Zhiruan took a moment to eat her noodles, Nuannuan finished a bowl too, it was fitting and heartwarming.

After playing for a while, Xiangsheng fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Wen Qingyu tucked him in with a blanket, walked up to Su Zhiruan, and said, "Ruanruan, sit here."

Su Zhiruan did not know what he was about to do, but she sat down as told.

"Close your eyes," Wen Qingyu's voice rang out again.

She closed her eyes.

The next second, the pads of his fingers were on her temples, gradually kneading in a counterclockwise direction to help relieve her stress.

"These days, your mental state has been tense. It's suitable to ease the pressure a bit," the man's actions were gentle but effectively calmed Su Zhiruan down, "you have been busy so long, everything that needed to be done has been done, consider taking a long break."

"I know," Su Zhiruan looked outside the window, she knew all of this, but a long-standing sense of responsibility still made it hard for her to fully relax, "from now on, everything depends on fate."

Rainstorms and snowstorms are much alike; both prevent going outside due to weather conditions, rainstorms, relatively, could be even more alarming.

From today, with the start of the heavy rainstorm, the weather would continue like this for a year. By then, Su Zhiruan had completed everything she needed to do and had no plans to go outside anymore.

Although her location was mid-mountain, it avoided the path of mountain torrents and mudslides. Previously a psychiatric hospital, the consideration for such issues was made during construction, ensuring excellent drainage. Moreover, the building renovations, carried out by an advanced system, were undeniably sturdy.

There was still plenty of food left; even allowing them to sustain for three years wasn't a problem, let alone one year of rainstorms.

"Is this what they call coming full circle?" Wen Qingyu placed his hand on her shoulder and massaged her neck, "At the beginning, we were trapped at home by the snowstorm, now it's the same scenario."

"Only now, there's an additional child," Su Zhiruan gazed at the sleeping Xiangsheng, feeling a warm flow in her heart.

After three years of busyness, it was time to just lie down and rest.

After eating, they lay in bed, ready to fall into a deep sleep.

Interestingly, with the heavy rainstorm weather, lying in bed and listening to the rain outside, the gloomy sky, and the not too cold or too hot temperature proved quite conducive for sleep.

The temperature was over twenty degrees, just right to be covered with a light blanket, and they fell asleep not long after lying down.

In the following period, the two devoted themselves to taking care of Xiangsheng.

Xiangsheng had always been clingy to Su Zhiruan, but he knew his mom was busy and didn't have the time to be by his side, so these past few days he was extremely happy, fluttering around Su Zhiruan and Wen Qingyu like a little butterfly, creating a very warm atmosphere for the family.

Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen were not at the base before the rainstorm started; they had returned to the lab.

The lab was constructed very sturdily, and they didn't need to worry about the flood causing any disasters, they were well off there.

Most of the people at the base headed up the mountain to escape the disaster.

A few days later, Su Zhiruan received a message from an email sent from above; the flood abroad caused severe death and injury, the massive rainstorm swiftly drenched and spoiled people's stored supplies, and even drowned a lot of people.

Upon hearing this, the people at the base were even more grateful that they were still alive.

When Xiangsheng was three, Su Zhiruan and Wen Qingyu celebrated his birthday. Using materials at home, they lovingly made him a small birthday cake together, and Xiangsheng jumped around in joy, incessantly lauding them in a cooing tone.

"Mommy, mommy, you're really amazing, you're pretty and smart, and you can make cakes, so awesome!" He cuddled next to Su Zhiruan, heaping praises on her.

Shortly after, he walked over to Wen Qingyu and said, "Daddy, daddy, you are great, you are the best!"

"Such sweet talk, I wonder who he learned it from." Su Zhiruan playfully smeared some cream on Xiangsheng's mouth corner; he stuck out his tongue to taste it, found it was sweet cream, and his eyes immediately lit up.
