Spring River Chasing the Moon

Seeing Luo Zhong's distraught look, Chen Lili felt so distressed.

"Let's talk about it later. We haven't even had a good rest since we got home. Let's go back to the room, change clothes and take a nap."

Chen Ze and Li Muzhi nodded.

"Go ahead. You're tired from traveling so early in the morning."

"Come on, let's go back to the room for a while."

Chen Lili held Luo Zhong's hand. She knew that what Luo Zhong needed now was time to think calmly, so she let him think about it carefully.

Luo Youyou also followed her parents back to the room. She actually had a lot to say to Luo Zhong, but she was afraid that if she said too much, it would not sound like what a child should express.

"Alas, the essence of this matter still needs to be figured out by father himself."

Luo Youyou was thinking in her heart, and seeing Luo Zhong sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze as soon as he returned to the room, she felt very distressed.

Originally, the father could have grown up happily and carefree, but because of Yang Qian, not only did he have an unhappy life, but he also had to endure such pain.

"dad."

Luo Youyou walked up and took Luo Zhong's hand, trying to comfort him.

"Come, daddy, give me a hug."

How could Luo Zhong not understand his daughter's thoughts? Her little eyes looked at him timidly, afraid that he would be unhappy and worried about his sadness. Luo Zhong's heart softened.

Chen Lili took out a set of home clothes from the closet and gave it to Luo Zhong.

"Change your clothes. This one is more comfortable."

Luo Zhong put Luo Youyou down, picked up his clothes and went into the bathroom. After a while, he changed and came out.

"Did you buy this dress? I don't think you've worn it before."

Luo Zhong touched the fabric and found it was indeed very comfortable and skin-friendly.

"Well, Mom and I picked out the material, and I made the dress for you myself. It's your birthday present. I wish you a happy birthday in advance."

Chen Lili stepped forward and tidied it up for him.

"Luckily, the size is correct. It fits me well."

Luo Zhong was very surprised. He didn't know that Li Muzhi could make clothes.

Chen Lili looked at his flattered expression and said with a smile.

"I didn't know my mom could make clothes. She said she hadn't done it in years and her hands were numb."

Luo Zhong was very touched. Ever since he married Chen Lili, he had always seen the love his father-in-law and mother-in-law showed him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mom. I have to say thank you later."

"We're a family, why should we be so polite?"

"This is my gift."

Chen Lili took out a small box from the drawer and handed it to Luo Zhong.

After Luo Zhong opened it, he found that they were two rings, a pair of rings.

He looked up at Chen Lili with a surprised look on his face.

When they got married, Luo Zhong wanted to buy them a pair of rings, but Chen Lili said no, because Luo Zhong couldn't wear them every day in the army anyway, and it would be boring for her to wear the rings alone.

"I think as a couple, we should have something that feels like a ritual, right? If you don't wear it in the army, you can keep it with you. Just think of me accompanying you."

The word "sense of ritual" was coined by Luo Youyou. One day, Luo Youyou said that life must give itself a sense of ritual, otherwise it would be too boring. Chen Lili thought it made sense.

"Okay, I'll put it on you." Luo Zhong took out a women's ring and put it on Chen Lili's ring finger.

Chen Lili also put the remaining one on Luo Zhong's ring finger.

Looking at the two hands holding each other and wearing the same rings, Luo Zhong felt that he was the happiest person in the world at that moment.

Luo Youyou looked at this scene and felt like crying. This time it must be a good ending.

Chen Lili asked Luo Zhong to sit on the bed and lean against the headboard to rest. Luo Youyou also took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed and leaned against Luo Zhong. He didn't say anything, just quietly accompanied him.

Luo Zhong listened obediently to Chen Lili's words and leaned over and said, "Family members need to express their gratitude so that they can understand each other's feelings."

"It's up to you. You're the birthday girl and you're the most important."

Chen Lili walked to the other side, and the family of three leaned against the head of the bed, enjoying this extremely warm and quiet moment.

"Li Li, have you... seen them?"

The room was quiet for a long time before Luo Zhong finally spoke. Chen Lili understood who "they" he was talking about without her having to point out who they were.

"Well, on the day of the paternity test, they were all waiting at home."

"Then they..."

Luo Zhong didn't ask any further because he didn't know what else to ask.

Even in such a remote place as the northern suburbs, people would occasionally discuss the Nan family, and the words they used were all extremely beautiful: family harmony, loving husband and wife, brothers and sisters who were friendly and respectful to each other...

"They're very nice people."

Chen Lili understood Luo Zhong's hesitation and concerns.

"They are all very kind people, especially Professor Zhu, and you..." Chen Lili paused for a moment, looked at Luo Zhong, and continued.

"Professor Zhu is your biological mother. She has also treated Youyou for his illness."

Then Chen Lili shared the details of her previous experience at Jinghe Hospital with Luo Zhong.

"At that time, I felt that Professor Zhu and I were quite compatible. I didn't expect that we would have such a relationship. Do you think this can be considered an inseparable blood relationship? It must be God's will."

"Dad, Professor Grandma is especially good to Youyou. I like her very much. She is very gentle and very capable."

Luo Youyou followed Chen Lili's words and expressed her love for Zhu Yuying at the right time, which also helped increase the professor's favorability.

Luo Zhong didn't expect that there would be such a thing. Listening to what Chen Lili and the others said, he couldn't help but start to imagine what Professor Zhu looked like and the tone of his voice... Deep in his heart, a thing called "expectation" began to grow, which he had never felt in Yang Qian.

"Grandpa Nan is also very good, although he is a bit serious."

Luo Youyou saw that Luo Zhong's brows began to relax, and she quickly mentioned Nanzhou Yue. She couldn't let her grandfather lose points in impression.

"Dad knows."

Luo Zhong put his arms around Luo Youyou and closed his eyes to take a nap.

He wasn't actually sleepy, but there were too many thoughts entering his head at once, and he wanted to calm himself down and sort them out.

Chen Lili and Luo Youyou looked at him and tacitly agreed not to disturb him.

Lunch time was approaching, and Li Muzhi came over and gently knocked on their room door.

The family of three woke up immediately, and Luo Zhong got up and opened the door.

"Are you asleep?" Li Muzhi asked softly.

"No."

"I'm going downstairs to eat. We're going to eat out at noon. We've already made reservations."

Li Muzhi felt extremely relieved when he saw Luo Zhong wearing the clothes he made. He hadn't made clothes for many years, but he didn't expect them to fit him so well.

Luo Zhong noticed that Li Muzhi's eyes were on his clothes. He lowered his head and said to Li Muzhi sincerely, "Thank you, Mom."

"You're welcome, if you like, I'll continue to do it for you in the future."

Li Muzhi enjoys the process of making clothes.

"I like it, but it's not too hard for you."

"It's not hard. I enjoy doing this. Making clothes gives me a sense of accomplishment."

"Thank you, Mom."

Li Muzhi nodded and said something to the room.

"Li Li, You You, hurry up, we are going to eat."

After saying that, he turned and went downstairs.
