Gu Qingsong walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.

He knew that Lin An'an had been having a hard time lately, even though she didn't say it.

After all, they had given it their all.

Leaving aside the college entrance exam for now, let's talk about that novel. Lin An'an devoted countless hours and energy to it.

Although going to university and the royalties from that novel were icing on the cake for Lin An'an, they were not necessities that required her to gamble everything.

But to say that I don't care at all would be a lie.

Ever since Lin An'an sent out the manuscript, Gu Qingsong has watched her go from anticipation to frustration, and then to disappointment and dejection in the past few days.

This is what he's most worried about.

He didn't really care about the amount of the payment; his main concern was that his wife would be very disappointed if he didn't get selected.

After all, he had seen how seriously Lin An'an had written her book and how much she had hoped when she first submitted it.

Gu Qingsong had long wanted to find an opportunity to talk to his wife, but he was afraid that if he brought it up, it would increase Lin An'an's psychological pressure.

Then the college entrance exam came along, and with both of these things combined, it's been delayed until now.

At this moment, Lin An'an brought it up herself, and Gu Qing took the opportunity to patiently comfort her, saying, "It's okay. Whether or not you get hired by the newspaper, the fact that you were able to put your heart into writing such a thick book is already quite remarkable."

Knowing that his wife must be very anxious, Gu Qingsong gently stroked Lin An'an's wrinkled little face.

He comforted her, saying, "If the manuscript really isn't accepted, I'll go to the publishing house and find someone to print a few copies for you, and we'll take them back and keep them as our own."

"When the children grow up, we'll show this to them and pass it down as a family heirloom."

Lin An'an chuckled after hearing Gu Qingsong's words of comfort, and immediately felt a little better.

But I still felt a bit down.

Gu Qingsong thought about it and decided not to let his wife focus too much on this matter.

Desiring to divert her attention, he said, "I'm off work tomorrow. Would you like to go to town with me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin An'an's attention was immediately diverted, and she happily exclaimed, "Of course I want to go!"

Since the later stages of her pregnancy, when her belly got bigger, she hasn't dared to travel far from home.

I usually just wander around the village and the surrounding area, mostly listening to people gossip; there's really nothing interesting about it.

Although she went to the town to give birth, her activities were limited to the town's hospital.

After being discharged from the hospital, she had to go through postpartum confinement.

Even after the postpartum period, she still needs to breastfeed the baby and cannot be left alone.

After that came polishing the manuscript, submitting it for publication, and then the college entrance examination.

She's been so busy that she hasn't been to town for a long time.

Lin An'an's eyes lit up when she thought of this.

He was as excited as a primary school student about to go on a spring outing, having completely forgotten about submitting his work.

Gu Qingsong couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Lin An'an like this.

His wife is so easy to please; I hope she can always be this happy.

Lin An'an happily got out of bed; her emotions always came and went quickly.

All the anxiety and depression vanished in an instant under the temptation of going out to have fun.

Infected by Lin An'an's cheerful mood, Gu Qingsong was no longer in a hurry to go out.

After bringing his wife her clothes, he waited for everyone to get ready before they went out to wash up together.
