It's not too late to meet in the book

As night deepened, moonlight filtered through the slits in the curtains, casting a soft patch of light onto the floor of Su Xiaoxiao's bedroom. Inside, Su Xiaoxiao sat beside her crib, storybook in hand, softly reciting a bedtime story for Lin Yuxuan. Lin Yuxuan lay in the crib, his large, unblinking eyes fixed on his mother, as if he were listening intently to every word.

"Okay, the story is over, Yuxuan, it's time to go to bed." Su Xiaoxiao said gently, then gently closed the storybook and placed it on the small table next to the crib. She turned to look at Yuxuan and found that he was staring at her with wide eyes, a sweet smile on his lips.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a warm feeling in her heart. She gently reached out her hand, stroked Yuxuan's soft black hair, and then hummed a lullaby. Her voice was gentle and rhythmic, as if it could soothe all of Yuxuan's anxiety and irritability.

Yuxuan listened to his mother's lullaby, a satisfied expression on his face. He held on tightly to the crib rails, as if feeling the sense of security from his mother. Then, he suddenly opened his mouth and uttered a vague sound: "Mama..."

Although the voice was not clear, even a little muffled, Su Xiaoxiao immediately recognized it as the pronunciation of "Mom". An indescribable joy and excitement surged in her heart, as if she had witnessed every moment of Yuxuan's growth.

"Yuxuan, what did you call me just now?" Su Xiaoxiao asked softly, her eyes full of anticipation and surprise. She held Yuxuan's hand tightly, as if afraid of missing any details.

Yuxuan looked at his mother, then opened his mouth again and made a sound similar to "mama". This time, although it was still a little blurry, it was clearer than before.

"Wow, Yuxuan, you really can call me mom!" Su Xiaoxiao cheered, her voice full of excitement and happiness. She hugged Yuxuan tightly and kissed his little face. "You are such a smart child. Mommy loves you!"

Yuxuan listened to his mother's praise and a proud smile appeared on his little face. He held his mother's hand tightly, as if to say, "Mom, I love you too."

At this moment, Lin Yu walked in from outside. When he saw Su Xiaoxiao and Yuxuan, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He walked to the crib, gently touched Yuxuan's head, and then looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, Yuxuan can really call me mom now?" Lin Yu asked, his voice full of surprise and pride. He knew that this was an important milestone in Yuxuan's growth and a source of pride for them as parents.

"Yes, Lin Yu, listen, he's yelling again." Su Xiaoxiao said, then pointed at Yuxuan. Yuxuan opened his mouth again and uttered a clear "mama".

Lin Yu listened to Yuxuan's voice, and a warm current surged in his heart. He hugged Su Xiaoxiao and Yuxuan tightly, as if to freeze this happiness in his heart forever.

"Yuxuan, you're awesome!" Lin Yu praised. "Daddy loves you too. I hope you can say more words in the future."

Yuxuan listened to his father's words and a happy smile appeared on his little face. He held his father's hand tightly, as if saying, "Dad, I will work hard."

The atmosphere in the bedroom became even warmer and more joyful. Su Xiaoxiao and Lin Yu played and talked with Yuxuan, enjoying this rare parent-child time. They knew that as Yuxuan grew up, there would be more and more such moments, and they would always be by his side, witnessing every moment of his growth.

As time passed, Yuxuan's eyelids grew heavy. He clutched his mother's hand tightly, as if afraid of losing that sense of security. Su Xiaoxiao looked at Yuxuan and knew he was sleepy.

"Yuxuan, it's time to go to bed." Su Xiaoxiao said softly, "Mom will always be by your side, protecting you and taking care of you." Su Xiaoxiao hugged Lin Yuxuan, patted his back, and slowly shook her arms.

Yuxuan listened to his mother's words, and a reassuring smile appeared on his little face. He slowly dozed off under Su Xiaoxiao's gentle soothing voice. He closed his eyes tightly, as if he had already fallen asleep. Su Xiaoxiao and Lin Yu looked at Yuxuan, their hearts filled with satisfaction and happiness.

"Xiaoxiao, look how soundly Yuxuan is sleeping." Lin Yu said softly, "He is such an angelic child."

"Yes, Lin Yu." Su Xiaoxiao responded, "We really need to cherish every moment with him."

Su Xiaoxiao gently covered Yuxuan with a blanket, and then walked out of the bedroom with Lin Yu. They knew that Yuxuan still had a long way to go in his growth, but they would always be by his side, giving him endless love and support.

"Yuxuan, see you tomorrow." Su Xiaoxiao whispered to Yuxuan before going to bed, her voice full of anticipation and tenderness. Although Yuxuan had already fallen asleep, she believed that he could feel his mother's love and care.
