It's not too late to meet in the book

The afterglow of the setting sun filtered through the bookstore's glass windows, casting a gentle glow on the wooden bookshelves, adding a touch of color to this space filled with knowledge. Lei Nuo and Lin Yu walked side by side between the bookshelves, their steps brisk and full of anticipation, their eyes gleaming with the joy and nervousness of becoming fathers.

"Look, this book 'The New Dad's Guide' has received good reviews. It is said to cover all the knowledge from pregnancy to the baby's first birthday." Renault picked up a book. The pattern on the cover was warm and vivid. He gently stroked the cover, as if he could feel the little hand of his future baby.

Lin Yu came over and carefully read the introduction on the spine of the book, with a gentle smile on his lips. "Well, it sounds very comprehensive. We have to study hard. After all, this is our first child, and we can't make any mistakes."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of longing for the future. They continued to browse between the bookshelves, selecting books on parenting, nutrition, and parent-child interaction. Every book they selected was like adding a solid foundation for their baby's future.

"This book 'Baby Food Preparation Guide' is also good. When the little one grows up to be able to eat complementary food, we can make it ourselves. It is both healthy and fun." Lin Yu excitedly showed the book in his hand, his eyes flashing with longing for future life.

Renault nodded, took the book, flipped through it, and said with a smile: "Yes, it makes me happy just thinking about it. When the time comes, we still have to learn how to play with the baby, how to teach him to talk and walk..."

At this point, both of their faces were filled with happy smiles, as if they had already seen the baby taking his first steps and babbling.

After selecting the books, they arrived at the maternity and baby products section of the mall. The colorful display of baby products was dazzling, making it hard to take in the sight. Lei Nuo and Lin Yu wandered through the area, stopping every now and then to carefully examine the purpose and safety of each item.

"This crib looks very sturdy and the design is very user-friendly. The baby should be very comfortable sleeping on it." Renault pointed to a crib and said to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu walked over and gently touched the edge of the bed, feeling the softness and smoothness of the material. "Yes, and the color is also very warm and will not irritate the baby's eyes. Let's decide on this one!"

Next, they came to the stroller area. A variety of strollers were neatly arranged, some lightweight and compact, others versatile. Renault and Lin Yu examined each one, discussing their pros and cons.

"This high-view stroller is good. The baby has a good view when sitting in it, and the shock absorption effect is also good. It is just right for going out for a walk." Lin Yu pushed a stroller, tried it in the open space of the mall, and nodded with satisfaction.

Renault, on the other hand, carefully studied how the stroller folded. "Yeah, it's really convenient. And it's not very big when folded. It won't take up too much space in the car or at home."

As they selected items, they imagined their babies sitting in the strollers, curiously looking around, their hearts filled with warmth and happiness. Every time they chose a satisfactory item, they would smile at each other, as if they had already seen the joy on their babies' faces when they used the items.

After shopping, they returned home with bags full of things to buy. On the way home, the afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows out long.

Back home, the two eagerly opened their newly bought parenting books and began studying them. They sat on the sofa, each with a book, occasionally looking up to share their thoughts or pointing at pictures in the book to discuss the baby's future.

"Look, the book says that babies can start trying to grasp toys when they are four months old. Then we can buy him some colorful and differently shaped toys to train his hand-eye coordination." Lin Yu pointed to the pictures in the book and said to Renault.

Renault nodded and looked at the contents of the book carefully. "Well, it also says here that babies can start adding complementary foods when they are six months old. Then we can follow the recipes in the book and make all kinds of delicious and nutritious food for the baby."

As they learn, they plan for their baby's future, as if they can already see the baby growing up healthily under their careful care. Whenever they learn something new, they excitedly share it with each other, as if it is their common treasure.

As night fell, the stars outside the window began to twinkle. Lei Nuo and Lin Yu remained seated on the sofa, immersed in their parenting lessons. Their faces were filled with happy smiles, their eyes gleaming with anticipation and longing for the future.

"I never thought that there would be so much to learn about being a father. However, as long as it is for the baby, we are willing to endure any hardship or fatigue." Renault closed the book and said with emotion.

Lin Yu nodded and held Renault's hand tightly. "Yes, it feels great to be a father. In the future, we must work together to give the baby a happy and joyful childhood."

Their eyes were filled with determination and warmth, as if they had already envisioned every beautiful moment they would spend with their baby in the future. On this warm night, Lei Nuo and Lin Yu felt the joy and responsibility of being new fathers, and also began their journey of growth as fathers.
