Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow fills the entire garden. I sit on the swing, swinging gently, feeling the gentle breeze brushing my face. My daughter in my arms giggles and waves her chubby little hands, trying to catch the erratic light spots.

Bai Hanchuan stood not far away, his slender figure stretched out particularly long by the setting sun. He was holding a ball in his hand, teasing the puppy running around. This scene was as beautiful as a painting, warming my whole heart.

"Mom, ball!" the daughter called in a baby voice, stretching out her hands to reach the ball in Bai Hanchuan's hands.

I smiled and picked her up, "Come on, let's go play ball with daddy."

When Bai Hanchuan saw us approaching, he put down the ball in his hand, smiled and hugged his daughter, "Baby, do you miss daddy?"

"Yes!" the daughter answered crisply, hugged Bai Hanchuan's neck and gave him a loud kiss on the face.

Looking at the intimacy between the father and daughter, I couldn't help but smile happily on my face.

After dinner, our family of three sat around the dining table. Bai Hanchuan told me some interesting things that happened in the company today, and I listened while feeding my daughter.

"By the way, my parents are coming over tomorrow." Bai Hanchuan said suddenly.

I was slightly stunned, "Are they going to stay for a few days?"

"Well, he said he missed his granddaughter and wanted to stay a few more days." Bai Hanchuan said with a smile, "I have asked someone to clean up the guest room."

I nodded, my heart full of anticipation. Since we got married, my parents-in-law have been very kind to me and treat me like their own daughter. They also like our daughter very much and often call to ask about her recent situation.

At night, there is a cool breeze.

"Let's go out for a walk." I turned and said to Bai Hanchuan.

"Okay." Bai Hanchuan put down the book in his hand, took my hand, and walked into the garden with me.

The moonlight was like water, gently falling on the flowers, plants and trees, covering everything with a hazy silver yarn. We held hands and strolled along the path in the garden, enjoying this rare quiet time.

"Look," I pointed at the twinkling stars in the night sky and said softly, "It's so beautiful..."

Bai Hanchuan followed my gaze, and the starlight was reflected in his deep eyes.

I stopped and turned to look at him. Under the moonlight, his profile was clear and handsome. I couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his face...

The touch of my fingertips is a familiar temperature, with the coolness of the night, but it makes me feel at ease. Bai Hanchuan holds my hand and gently strokes the back of my hand, with a gentle smile on his lips.

"What are you thinking about?" His voice was as low and magnetic as the night.

"Nothing, I just feel... it's really good like this." I looked at the starry sky and said softly.

The past sufferings and struggles seem to have gone away. Now I have a husband who loves me, a lovely daughter, and a home of our own. What could be more satisfying than this?

"Yes, that's great." Bai Hanchuan gently hugged me into his arms, "Jinli, thank you for letting me have all this."

I leaned my head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, my heart filled with happiness and sweetness.

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind me. "It's so late, why are you still outside?"

It's my father's voice.

I turned around and saw my father standing not far away, wearing a coat, with a kind smile on his face.

"Dad, we just came out for a walk." I said with a smile.

"Well," my father nodded, "it's cold, don't catch a cold." Then he walked over to us and his eyes fell on my belly, "Is the baby okay?"

"Good, he's very well behaved." I stroked my belly gently, feeling the joy brought by the little life inside.

"That's good, that's good." The father smiled with relief, "A family that is safe and healthy is better than anything else."

"Dad, you're right." Bai Hanchuan held my hand, his eyes firm and gentle.

Our family of three bathed in the moonlight, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.

When I returned to the room, my daughter was already asleep in bed with a sweet smile on her face. I gently kissed her forehead and tucked her in.

"Let me tell her a story." Bai Hanchuan walked over and said softly.

I shook my head. "Let me do it today. You've worked all day, so you should rest early."

I sat by the bed, opened my daughter's favorite storybook, and told her the story in a soft voice. The content of the story was simple, but full of innocence and beauty. My daughter listened with great interest, and her face was filled with a happy smile.

As I was speaking, I suddenly felt my daughter's small hand grasping the corner of my clothes... As I was speaking, I suddenly felt my daughter's small hand grasping the corner of my clothes, and her soft voice was a little sleepy: "Mom, will you and Dad always be with me?" I put down the book in my hand and gently stroked her hair, "Of course, mom and dad will always be with our baby." My daughter seemed to be relieved a lot, with a sweet smile on her lips, and gradually fell asleep.

I stood up and tucked the quilt for her. Bai Hanchuan came over and kissed my forehead gently, "You've worked hard." I shook my head, "It's not hard. Seeing my daughter like this, I think it's all worth it." We stood by the bed hugging each other, looking at our daughter's sleeping face, our hearts filled with infinite tenderness.

"Jinli," Bai Hanchuan's voice was low and gentle, "Thank you for giving me a home." I raised my head and looked into his deep eyes, "Me too, thank you for letting me feel the warmth of home."

It was late at night, and there were occasional insects chirping outside the window, but the house was warm as spring. I lay in Bai Hanchuan's arms, listening to his steady breathing, my heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. In a daze, I seemed to have returned to the past and saw every bit of our journey together...

"Jinli, look!" Bai Hanchuan's voice pulled me back from my memories. I opened my eyes and saw him pointing out the window...

Outside the window, the rising sun dyed the sky a warm orange-red, and a few birds sang happily on the branches. Everything was so peaceful and beautiful. Bai Hanchuan looked at me gently, his eyes full of pampering: "Look at our orchard, today is another harvest day."

I followed his gaze and saw that the empty land was now lush and green. The fruit trees were full of fruits, shining attractively in the sunlight. Children were playing among the fruit trees, and their laughter echoed over the orchard.

"Yes, this is all like a dream," I sighed with emotion. Once upon a time, I was still struggling for survival, but now I have a husband who loves me, lovely children, and this land full of hope.

"I have to thank you for this, Jinli." Bai Hanchuan held my hand, his eyes full of gratitude, "It is you who let me have all this, and it is you who made me understand what true happiness is."

I shook my head and snuggled gently into his arms, "Without you, none of this would exist. We are a family and we will always be together."

After breakfast, I came to the office and started my day's work. Over the years, I have managed the planting base in an orderly manner, and the products are sold far and wide at home and abroad, and are deeply loved by consumers. I flipped through the documents in my hand, and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of my mouth.

"Knock knock knock..." A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

"Come in."

Secretary Xiaoli walked in with an anxious look on her face: "Mr. Mu, the sales department sent an urgent report saying..." She paused, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

I put down the documents in my hand, and a bad feeling rose in my heart: "Say..."
