Chapter 228: The End

March 5th, Awakening of Insects.

The day of the wedding.

The scale was not ostentatious, only inviting family members from both sides, university friends, and other close relatives and friends.

Early in the morning, the bridal chamber was filled with joy. Shen Li wore a simple and gentle wedding dress, her long hair pinned up elegantly.

Zhang Zixin was helping her arrange her veil on the side, joking with a smile: "Walking all the way to now, it can be considered complete."

Shen Li's lips curved, her eyes full of smiles: "Mm."

Zhang Zixin and Xu Zhouyuan had finished their wedding last year, and this year it was finally their turn.

For two best friends, nothing is happier than witnessing each other move toward happiness.

As soon as the words fell, lively knocking and shouting sounded outside the door; Xie Qin had come to pick up the bride.

He wore a black suit and formal attire, his figure straight and handsome, his gaze sticking to Shen Li the moment he entered.

After simply finishing the wedding games.

Xie Qin reached out to her: "Wife, let's go home."

"Okay." Shen Li gently placed her hand in his palm, held tightly by him, and walked out of the bridal chamber step by step.

The wedding ceremony was very simple.

When toasting, Xu Zhouyuan and a group of people surrounded Xie Qin, shouting and forcing him to drink. Xie Qin directly protected Shen Li behind him: "Don't touch my wife, if you want to drink, I'll accompany you."

Shen Li pulled his sleeve, looking at him worriedly: "Drink less, you'll be drunk in a while."

"I know what I'm doing." Xie Qin leaned close to her ear, his tone doting, "Today is a happy day, it's fine to drink a little."

After the wedding banquet, Xie Qin was drunk.

Shen Li supported his unsteady footsteps and walked slowly back to the bridal chamber.

She settled Xie Qin on the bed, sat by the bedside, reached out to gently touch his cheek, and watched him quietly for a long time.

Then she leaned down, kissed his cheek lightly, and spoke softly: "Xie Qin, I love you."

As soon as the words fell, Xie Qin's hand suddenly lifted, holding the back of her head with the strength of his drunkenness, his voice low and hoarse: "Say it again."

She said it again slowly and clearly: "I love you."

Just as you love me.

The second year.

Shen Li successfully finished her doctorate at Jiang University, and Xie Qin finally waited for her to graduate before submitting his resignation to the company.

They left Wuchuan and returned to Di Du with Xie Qin.

Shen Li had this plan from the beginning; after all, Xie Qin's home was still in Di Du, and they had to return eventually.

In Di Du, Shen Li lived with Xie's father and mother for a while.

However, Xie Qin wasn't very happy; he still wanted to live in a two-person world with Shen Li and have a house of their own.

So Xie Qin specifically chose a quiet area in Di Du and bought a detached small villa with a small courtyard in full.

The villa's decoration was a simple and gentle style, with flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, and the living room had excellent lighting, warm and comfortable.

On the day they moved in, Shen Li walked around the house, looking at their own little home, full of joy, "It's really nice here."

Xie Qin hugged her gently from behind, his chin resting on her head: "From now on, this is our home. You just need to rest at ease and do whatever you want."

Shen Li nodded: "Mm."

She had been too tired over the years, and Xie Qin forced her to stay at home and rest.

Shen Li had no choice but to be an idle person at home, supported by him.

When she had nothing to do, she would drag Xie Qin home for meals.

Anyway, it wasn't far from home, just a ten-minute drive.

For such a long time, Xie Qin stayed at home with her, very clingy, as if he wanted to make up for the six years they had missed.

The two lived through three meals and four seasons, living particularly comfortably.

Their feelings never faded.

After living stably in the Di Du villa for more than two months, Shen Li gradually felt that her body was not right.

She was always inexplicably sleepy, prone to nausea when waking up in the morning, and her appetite had worsened; she couldn't touch anything greasy at all.

At first, she thought it was just that she hadn't adjusted her routine after moving to a new environment, so she didn't take it to heart.

Getting up this morning, the nausea was heavier than usual, and she leaned against the wall for a long time to recover.

Xie Qin had just finished washing up and came out. Seeing her pale face, he walked over worriedly to support her: "What's going on? Are you not feeling well?"

Shen Li shook her head with a frown: "I can't say where it's uncomfortable, I'm just always sleepy and a bit nauseous in the morning."

She didn't know if she was pregnant.

Since returning to Di Du, the two had never taken any contraceptive measures, and counting her period, it seemed to have been delayed for a long time.

Xie Qin frowned slightly and drove her to the hospital.

After registering and finishing a series of examinations, they waited for the results.

Xie Qin was worried about her condition and kept asking her where else she was uncomfortable.

When the doctor came out with the report, looked at the two, and smiled: "There's no big problem, the body is very healthy, you are just pregnant. Early pregnancy reactions are more obvious, so you will be sleepy, nauseous, and have no appetite."

As soon as this was said, Shen Li and Xie Qin were stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment.

Shen Li: "I... am pregnant?"

"That's right, it's confirmed you are pregnant, it's already been three weeks. Go back and rest well, don't be overworked, eat a light diet, and do prenatal check-ups on time." The doctor smiled and gave a few precautions.

Coming out of the clinic, Xie Qin walked with light steps, feeling like he was living in a dream: "... we really have a baby."

Shen Li pursed her lips, slowly raised a smile, and looked at him with tenderness in her eyes: "Yeah! Xie Qin, you're going to be a father."

After returning home, Xie Qin directly started a 24/7 attentive care mode.

He didn't let her touch any heavy objects or cold water.

Every day, he had the nanny make nutritious meals for her in different ways.

Xie Qin accompanied her to prenatal check-ups on time, arranging everything for her perfectly.

After the parents on both sides heard the news, they were all overjoyed and came to the villa from time to time to visit her, sending various supplements.

During pregnancy, Shen Li was quite stable, and morning sickness wasn't too severe.

Ten months of pregnancy passed in a flash, and the day of delivery arrived.

Shen Li entered the delivery room. Outside the hospital delivery room, Xue Jingshu and Shen Li's mother were guarding the corridor.

After several hours, the delivery room door opened, and the nurse smiled and announced the good news: "Congratulations to the family! Twins, one boy and one girl, mother and children are safe!"

The children were born first, and the nurse brought the newborn twins out and handed them to the family.

Everyone gathered around to look at the two tiny bundles, loving them to pieces.

Xie Qin didn't look at the children at all and went straight to Shen Li.

He gently held her cold hand by the hospital bed, his voice trembling with heartache, "No more, we won't have any more children in the future."

Shen Li opened her eyes weakly, pulled out an extremely faint smile at him, her breath light: "Are the babies... okay?"

Xie Qin: "I didn't have time to look, they should be fine."

How could he be a father like that.

Shen Li: "Xie Qin... I'm so tired."

Xie Qin said to her gently: "If you're tired, sleep for a while."

She responded softly: "Mm."

Shen Li's eyes slowly closed, and she fell asleep shortly after.

The warm light in the ward was soft, and Xie Qin stayed by the bedside, never leaving her side.

In the crib next to them, two tiny bundles lay quietly, eyes closed, their little faces wrinkled, exceptionally cute.

The boy was born a little earlier, steady and quiet, and the girl was small and soft, curled up in the quilt obediently.

The boy was named Xie Jinye, and the girl was named Xie Jinzhao.

The names were taken by the grandfather after flipping through ancient poems and classics for several days, and then according to their birth dates.

After Shen Li finished her confinement, she leaned on the soft sofa, her fingertips gently pinching the pages of a book, her gaze tenderly entangled with Xie Qin beside her, the corners of her lips unconsciously curling into a faint smile, like moonlight crushed in spring, falling between her brows.

He was holding the child in his arms carefully, coaxing him in a low voice.

The afternoon sun passed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, turning into a piece of golden gauze, gently covering the entire hall, and the evening breeze wandered in through the window cracks.

This scene was peaceful and quiet, the fireworks gentle.

From the first heartbeat in the university campus, to registering for marriage, to now having both a son and a daughter.

In the end, the youthful liking was turned into a lifetime of morning and evening companionship.
