The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Lin Xinyi's two white, tender, chubby little hands seemed to be stuck together, clenched into fists. Her small body was stretched straight, and she stared at her father without blinking, her face full of nervousness and excitement, as if every word that her father was about to utter at this moment was related to the fate of the world.

Lin Weiye, sitting nearby, appeared much calmer, but his slightly furrowed brow and gently pursed lips still revealed that he was seriously considering the question. Time ticked by, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, Lin Weiye took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. A faint, somewhat helpless smile appeared on his face, and he spoke to his expectant daughter, "Haha, my dear, Daddy is actually just like our precious Xinyi. He hasn't decided yet: would we rather have a mischievous little brother or a well-behaved, adorable little sister?" He reached out and gently scratched Lin Xinyi's delicate nose.

After being teased by her father, Lin Xinyi's originally tense face relaxed instantly, but she soon turned her gaze to her mother Xu Yingying, blinking her big eyes and asked, "Mom, what are we going to do now?" At this time, Xu Yingying was looking at her daughter with a smile. Seeing her like this, she felt really angry and amused. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch Lin Xinyi's rosy cheeks, saying softly, "Oh, don't worry, baby. You will know when the baby is born! Whether it is a brother or a sister, our Xinyi will take good care of him (her), right?"

Hearing her mother ask this, Lin Xinyi immediately straightened her chest, nodded solemnly, and answered loudly: "Of course! I will definitely be a super good sister!" Her tone was so firm as if she had become an experienced big sister.

As time passed, Xu Yingying's pregnancy progressed, and her belly grew bigger day by day. Seeing that his wife was about to give birth, Lin Weiye knew that this stage was crucial for Xu Yingying, so he began to gradually hand over the heavy work in the company to his right-hand assistant Cheng Cheng to take care of it, just to make more time to accompany Xu Yingying.

Ever since Lin Weiye decided to stay home with Xu Yingying fully committed to her pregnancy, Xu Yingying gradually began to feel uneasy. No matter where she went or what she did, she could sense a constant gaze upon her, as if her every move could not escape Lin Weiye's scrutiny. This constant surveillance weighed heavily on Xu Yingying, and her once carefree life seemed to vanish without a trace.

Finally one day, Xu Yingying couldn't help but complain to Lin Weiye: "Honey, don't you have anything else to do in your company? Why do you stay at home with me every day?" Hearing his wife's complaints, Lin Weiye quickly explained: "Darling, I have handed over most of the work to Cheng Cheng to handle. Don't worry, it won't delay the normal operation of the company." However, Xu Yingying was still not satisfied and continued: "Then can't you find something else to do? Staring at me like this all day long, I really can't breathe." Faced with his wife's dissatisfaction, Lin Weiye responded affectionately: "My dear, what else in the world can be more important than you and the baby? I just want to protect you every step of the way and make sure everything is safe and sound."

Xu Yingying could never have imagined the meticulous and intensive care Lin Weiye would provide her. He treated her like a precious treasure, cherishing her with all his heart, as if fearing the slightest mishap. Time flew by, and soon Xu Yingying went into labor. Surprisingly, the birth came two weeks early. However, since this wasn't her first childbirth, Xu Yingying remained remarkably calm and composed, not panicking as she had in her first experience. Similarly, Lin Weiye was no longer the naive young man who had just become a father. Facing the impending arrival of his newborn, he appeared composed and confident.

The birth went exceptionally smoothly. At ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Yingying and her entire family gathered at the hospital to give birth. Just over two hours later, just after midnight, the little one was impatiently born.

The nurse, cradling the delicate little creature, beamed as she announced, "Congratulations! It's a lively, adorable little boy!" Upon hearing this, Xu Yingying's face blossomed with a smile as bright as a spring flower. For her, this new life marked the beginning of a new relationship between her and Lin Weiye, filled with endless hope and possibility.

After school that afternoon, Lin Xinyi was taken to the hospital by her family. As soon as she entered the ward, her eyes went straight to her baby brother, who was soundly sleeping in his crib. Recalling every detail of her mother's pregnancy—from the initial slight bulge in her belly to her baby brother's safe birth—she stood beside the cradle, feeling a surge of emotion as she watched him sleep. She shook her head helplessly, recalling the absurd stories she'd heard from her classmates about childbirth.

"They actually say that babies are born from the armpits. That's ridiculous! They obviously come out of the mother's belly." Lin Xinyi muttered softly, her eyes gently falling on her brother's pink little face.

She gently extended her finger and carefully touched her brother's nose. The little guy seemed to feel his sister's touch and moved his mouth slightly, as if responding to his sister's care in his sleep.

"My naughty little brother, you must grow up quickly, so that we can protect mom together in the future." Lin Xinyi whispered softly, her eyes full of love and expectation.

At this time, Xu Yingying, who was in confinement at the old house, was sitting on the bed. Although she had just given birth, her figure was not as bloated as people imagined. This was all thanks to the meticulous care of professional nurses and scientific and reasonable diet arrangements.

Every day's meals are matched according to strict standards, which not only ensures adequate nutritional supply but also avoids excessive intake of fattening foods. Therefore, although still in the confinement period, Xu Yingying's weight has basically returned to the pre-pregnancy level.

When Lin Weiye got home from get off work, the first thing he did was go to the room to visit his wife and son.
