Like you in the sun

"I was fascinated at first sight and decided that your sister was the one I would spend my whole life loving."

"Your sister also fell in love with me at first sight. The way she looked at me was so tender and affectionate."

"I was born into a military family with strict family traditions and strict discipline in the army."

"Your family is a wealthy and aristocratic family, and the family rules are even stricter."

"Your sister and I get along as friends. One of us is studying and the other is serving in the army. We only see each other occasionally."

Chen Yang: "That's fine."

Lin Yijun: "Your sister and I just liked each other at that time."

"We didn't get together until your sister went to college."

"It's different from Yinyin's current situation."

Chen Yang: "When you are together, you get straight to the point!"

Lin Yijun: "We got the marriage certificate first, and then we got straight to the point."

"At that time, I was going to be stationed in a border defense unit for a few years. Before I left, I found your sister and confessed my love to her."

"Then your sister took me to your home to meet your parents, and the next day she went to my home to meet my parents."

"That day your sister decided to register for marriage the day before I left for the border defense force, and hold the wedding after I came back."

"We were together for the first time after we got our marriage certificate, and I joined the army after that night."

"Who knew we would win on our first night together."

"More than a month later, your sister told me what happened on the phone. I remember it very clearly."

Lin Yijun's mind then fell into memories.

The border environment is harsh and the conditions are very difficult. It is already March and April and the weather is still very cold with strong winds. Every year, the mountains are blocked by long periods of snow, and there is a lack of supplies. The cold is unbearable for ordinary people.

The communication facilities were incomplete, the telephone line signal was very unstable, the TV screen was almost always full of snow, and the only entertainment was reading various books in my spare time.

Lin Yijun and other border guards still stick to their posts as solid as a rock, and because of their glorious military duties and mission, they overcome all difficulties.

When I came back from patrol, I received a call from Chen Xue, who said very gently, "Yijun, how are you doing in the army recently?"

Lin Yijun: "Everything is fine."

"Xue'er, are you okay? I miss you every day."

Chen Xue: "Yijun, I miss you too."

"I've been feeling very uncomfortable these days. I feel weak and tired, nauseous, vomit, and dizzy every day."

Lin Yijun's tone became nervous and he asked, "Xue'er, are you sick? Have you been to the hospital?"

Chen Xue: "I just went to see it today."

Lin Yijun: "What did the doctor say?"

Chen Xue: “Positive.”

Lin Yijun: "Positive? What does that mean?"

Chen Xue: "It means a plus sign!"

Lin Yijun: "What's the plus sign? Xue'er, are you okay?"

Chen Xue: "I'm fine, it's just..."

Lin Yijun: "Just what? Xue'er, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Xue: "Yijun, I'm pregnant."

Lin Yijun was stunned when he heard this. His mind went blank and he couldn't react at all. He stood in front of the phone for a long time without coming back to his senses.

Chen Xue on the other end of the phone felt a chill in her heart when she saw Lin Yijun's silence. She asked, "Yijun, why don't you speak?"

"Is it true that you don't want this child at all?"

Lin Yijun jumped up excitedly and said incoherently: "I want it, I want it."

"Xue'er, I'm going to be a father, right?"

"I'm going to be a father...hahaha...I'm going to be a father."

"Xue'er, we have a child. Our child."

Chen Xue: “Yeah.”

Lin Yijun: "Boy or girl?"

Chen Xue: "The baby is only one month old in my belly, how can I tell whether it is a boy or a girl?"

"Yijun, do you want a boy or a girl?"

Lin Yijun: "I want a daughter."

Chen Xue: "I want a daughter, too."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yijun would pick up every comrade he saw and spin around, happily saying, "I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father!"

In the following time, Lin Yijun kept imagining what the child would look like, whether he would look more like Chen Xue or more like himself.

Lin Yijun, who is extremely talented in painting, draws the appearance of his imaginary child every day and counts the days on his fingers every day, looking forward to the day when his child is born.

In this way, two people in different places communicated through a telephone line, and on New Year's Eve, their daughter was born.

This is also Lin Yijun's regret in his life. He was not around when his daughter was born.

Finally, on the day of the family visit, Lin Yijun returned home exhausted and looked at her daughter crying on the bed. She was just a little kid, all alone. She was her own daughter, but she felt very strange.

Chen Xue: "Yijun, come and hug our daughter."

When Lin Yijun tiptoed and held his daughter in his arms, the crying suddenly stopped and the girl kept laughing at Lin Yijun.

Chen Xue: "Yijun, you see your daughter seems to know that you are her father."

"As soon as you held her in your arms, she stopped crying and even smiled at you."

Lin Yijun's fingers were tightly grasped by her daughter. At this moment, she truly felt the vitality, the existence of family affection, and the continuation of life. She couldn't help crying and said, "My daughter."

"Xue'er, thank you, thank you for giving birth to a daughter for me."

Chen Xue: "This is the fruit of our love."

"Yijun, look at how beautiful your daughter is, with big eyes and a high nose bridge. She looks just like a replica of you."

"Look, my daughter just saw you for the first time and she kept smiling at you."

Lin Yijun: "Xue'er, we won't have any more children in the future. We just want this one daughter, okay?"

Chen Xue: "Okay, I think so too."

"We only want Yinyin as our child and we want to give her all our love."

Lin Yijun gently stroked his daughter's face and said with a smile: "Yinyin, I am your father."

"Yeah~ Keep smiling at daddy."

"Xue'er, our daughter likes me so much. She's so well behaved."

Night slowly fell with the laughter of the family of three. Lin Yijun hugged Chen Xue and asked, "Am I awesome? I made you win in one night."

Chen Xue: "Great, my great general."

Lin Yijun climbed onto Chen Xue's body and said gently, "Xue'er, I miss you. I miss you every day."

Chen Xue: "You have to be more careful this time. We agreed that we only want Yinyin as the child."

Lin Yijun took out the safety bag and said, "Don't worry, we have this."

Chen Xue: "Yijun, our daughter is breastfeeding."

Lin Yijun: "You know I never smoke."

The two people who had not seen each other for nearly a year were lingering like dry firewood and burning with passion. When the sky became dimly lit, Lin Yijun prepared to take a rest.

In order to give Lin Yijun more opportunities to interact with her daughter, Chen Xue said, "Yijun, hug your daughter and sleep for a while."

Then he put his daughter into Lin Yijun's arms and said, "Go to sleep. You haven't slept all night. Your daughter will wake up soon."

Lin Yijun: "Xue'er, you didn't sleep all night either."

"Have a good rest. I'll take care of our daughter when she wakes up."
