Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

As the pregnancy entered the middle and late stages, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen felt more and more clearly that a little life was about to enter their world and completely change the rhythm of their lives. This mixture of anticipation and nervousness prompted them to devote themselves to the preparations for the baby's arrival.

On a sunny weekend, the two decided to go to a maternity and baby supplies store to pick out cribs and strollers. As soon as they entered the store, a wide variety of products came into view. Various cribs were arranged in an orderly manner, and each one had a unique design and function. Jiang Ciyou was instantly attracted by the scene in front of her, with excitement and curiosity flashing in her eyes. She gently stroked the finely crafted bed rails, as if she could already see the baby sleeping peacefully in them.

Lu Jingchen quickly entered the "selection mode". He knew that the safety of the crib was of vital importance. So he carefully checked the material of each bed, smelled it closely to see if there was any pungent smell, and shook the bed vigorously to test its stability. His eyes were focused and serious, not missing any details, and he kept muttering: "The corners of this bed must be rounded, and there must be no sharp places. It will be troublesome if the baby is hit." Jiang Ciyou watched Lu Jingchen's busy figure from the side, her heart full of warmth and peace of mind. She smiled and responded: "Jingchen, I feel much more at ease with you being so careful."

When choosing a baby stroller, the two were even more cautious. Lu Jingchen pushed out one baby stroller after another and repeatedly tested its braking performance. He squatted on the ground, carefully observing whether the wheels turned flexibly, and even sat on one to feel the comfort. Jiang Ciyou was concerned about the appearance and portability of the baby stroller. She pointed to a baby stroller with a cute cartoon pattern and a small size when folded and said, "Jingchen, look at this one. It must be very convenient to push the baby out, and the pattern is also beautiful. The baby will definitely like it." Lu Jingchen came over, studied it carefully, and nodded in agreement: "Well, it's really good, but we still need to compare a few more models to make sure everything is foolproof."

After several hours of careful selection, they finally chose the baby crib and stroller they liked. Seeing the clerk packing the goods, Lu Jingchen's face was filled with a satisfied smile. He gently put his arm around Jiang Ciyou's shoulders and said, "Now we have the baby's 'car' and 'nest'. Next, it's time to decorate the baby's room." Jiang Ciyou leaned in his arms, her eyes full of happiness and longing, and she replied softly, "Yes, I can't wait to decorate the baby's room beautifully."

After returning home, the two did not take time to rest and began to decorate the baby's room. Lu Jingchen spread the assembly drawings of the crib on the ground, carefully studied each step, then put on gloves, picked up the tools, and began to assemble. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, but his eyes were always focused, and he tightened the screws steadily in his hands. Jiang Ciyou helped to pass the tools on the side, and occasionally squatted down, gesturing with his hands to indicate the position of the crib, and said: "Jingchen, I think the bed should be placed here, next to the window, so that the sunlight can shine in directly. The baby can see the scenery outside when he wakes up, and he will definitely be in a good mood." Lu Jingchen looked up at her, his eyes full of pampering: "Okay, I'll listen to you, you make sense."

In between assembling the crib, Jiang Ciyou was not idle. She took out the baby bedding that she had carefully selected before. The pink quilt was as soft as a cloud, and it was embroidered with delicate little rabbit patterns, which were vivid and seemed to jump up at any time; the bed sheets printed with cartoon patterns were colorful and full of childishness. Each pattern was determined by Jiang Ciyou after repeated selection and comparison. She hoped that the baby would see these lovely pictures and feel full of love when he opened his eyes. She gently stroked the bedding, with a gentle smile on her face, and silently said in her heart: "Baby, Mommy wants to see you soon, you will definitely like this little room."

After the crib was assembled, Lu Jingchen stood up and stretched his aching back. Looking at the baby room that had taken shape in front of him, he felt a sense of accomplishment. Jiang Ciyou spread the bedding on the bed, carefully smoothed out every wrinkle, and placed a few cute plush toys on the bedside. The whole room instantly became warm. She turned to look at Lu Jingchen, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes: "Jingchen, thank you, you have worked hard for the baby and me." Lu Jingchen walked up to her, gently wiped away her tears, and held her in his arms: "Silly, this is our common expectation. For our little home, everything is worth it."

In the following days, the two were even busier. Lu Jingchen used his spare time to personally paint murals of small animals on the light blue walls. Although he is not a professional painter, he is willing to try everything for the baby. He first searched for a large number of cute pictures of small animals on the Internet, repeatedly practiced painting skills, and then carefully started to paint on the wall. Every stroke is poured with his love for the baby, from the naive little bear to the lively and clever little monkey, one by one the little animals gradually come alive on the wall. Jiang Ciyou often stood aside, watching Lu Jingchen's concentration, her heart full of admiration and love. From time to time, she handed over the paint tray and gave some small suggestions: "Jingchen, the color here can be lighter, it will look softer." Lu Jingchen smiled and nodded, and modified it according to her suggestions. The tacit understanding between the two became deeper in this small room.

The layout of the bookshelf is also something that Jiang Ciyou attaches great importance to. She went to various major bookstores and carefully selected various classic children's books, from enlightenment picture books to fairy tales. She placed the books on the bookshelf one by one, classified them according to different age groups and themes, and also specially affixed some self-made small labels on the bookshelf for easy future searches. She thought that when the baby grows up a little, he can sit in this warm room every night, listen to her and Lu Jingchen tell stories, and swim in the ocean of knowledge. "Baby, these books are prepared by your mother for you. I hope you will like reading and learn a lot of knowledge from them." Jiang Ciyou said softly to the bookshelf, her eyes full of expectation.

As the decoration of the baby's room is gradually coming to an end, every corner is filled with love and care. The soft carpet in the corner is to prevent the baby from catching a cold when playing on the floor in the future; the thermometer and hygrometer hanging on the wall are always reminding them to create the most comfortable environment for the baby; the blackout curtains installed on the windows can block strong light during the day and create a quiet atmosphere when the baby is taking a nap.

One evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window into the baby's room, giving the entire room a golden glow. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen walked into the room hand in hand and looked around quietly. At this moment, the room was filled with a quiet and warm atmosphere, as if one could already hear the laughter of the baby in the future. Tears flashed in Jiang Ciyou's eyes. She leaned on Lu Jingchen's shoulder and whispered, "Jingchen, I'm really looking forward to the arrival of the baby. This family has become more complete because of him (her). " Lu Jingchen hugged her tightly and responded gently, "Me too, Youyou. We will definitely give the baby a home full of love and watch him (her) grow up healthy and happy."

In this warm atmosphere, the two seemed to have seen the beautiful picture of the future. The baby was babbling in the nursery, taking the first step in life; they were by the baby's side, witnessing every moment of growth; the family sat together, sharing the joys and sorrows of life. This vision of the future, like a beacon, illuminated their way forward, making them more determined to welcome the arrival of a new life. And all the preparations they made for the baby were not just material accumulation, but also the cohesion of love. Every detail carried their deep expectations and endless love for the baby, laying the warmest and softest foundation for the baby's upcoming life journey.
