“Yu Cheng, lift my waist up a little more for me.”

“Like this?”

“Yes.” Su Rui nodded and added, “A little more pressure.”

“Won’t that hurt?” Gu Yu Cheng asked a little worriedly.

“No, this is just right.”

This is a postnatal recovery exercise that Su Rui’s teacher recommended when she went to the maternity centre.

It is similar to yoga.

After lying at home for a week, Su Rui followed the video of this course.

The effect of this recovery exercise was probably really good, or maybe it’s because Su Rui’s body was still very young at the moment. Su Rui recovered very well a month after giving birth.

The exercises range from simple recuperation movements at the beginning to more complex sets at the end of the confinement. Sometimes it needs someone else to give assistance.

The baby’s father became Su Rui’s temporary ‘human helping tool’ every night.

As Su Rui spoke, she carefully adjusted her posture according to the pose shown on the tablet. She did not notice that Gu Yu Cheng was somewhat breathing heavily as he spoke.

“And then slowly move down.”“Like this?” Gu Yu Cheng asked softly in Su Rui’s ear.

“Yes, and then recover.”

“Yu Cheng?”

“Gu Yu Cheng.”

Su Rui called out twice but found that there was no movement by the man. She glanced over to find that the look on Gu Yu Cheng’s face changed.

This expression of Gu Yu Cheng’s was all too familiar to Su Rui.

Almost every time the two of them reached that point, this man would have this countenance on his face.

She looked down.

Not surprisingly, Su Rui spotted a very spirited presence at a particular spot.

“You… Mm …”

Su Rui was just about to say something when Gu Yu Cheng leaned down, buried his head, and sealed her lips.

The kiss was different from the superficial and half-hearted kisses during her third trimester and the previous period of time. Gu Yu Cheng’s kiss was fierce, with a very clear implication of seizing control and demand.

A breastfeeding woman’s body was soft and tender, and had a milky fragrance to it.

Having seen Gu An An eat so well every time before, Gu Yu Cheng ‘accidentally’ tasted it on one occasion.

In fact, the taste was not as good as he had imagined.

However, the smell of the woman’s body at the moment was indeed very addictive.

Gu Yu Cheng’s breathing became heavier, and his body felt like it was set aflame.

It was getting stronger and stronger.

This kind of fire was not something one can stand after a few months of being unfulfilled.magic

Su Rui was startled as she sensed that the situation was getting out of hand,

“Mm… Yu Cheng!”

Pushing Gu Yu Cheng and biting on his lower lip at the same time, Su Rui tilted her head slightly sideways to end the kiss.

“Don’t!” Su Rui reminded him.His reasoning returned. Gu Yu Cheng’s expression froze, and his entire body tensed up at this moment.

After a moment of stiffness, Gu Yu Cheng buried his head in the middle of Su Rui’s neck and took a deep breath before letting go of Su Rui.

“You stay here first. I’ll go and take care of it.” Gu Yu Cheng said in a low and hoarse voice.

After saying that, he let go of Su Rui, got up from the bed and was about to go to the bathroom.

“Wait a minute,” Su Rui called out to stop Gu Yu Cheng.

Looking at someone’s stoic look, Su Rui felt a little distressed. But, at the bottom of her heart, she wanted to laugh a little bit.

“Let me help you,” Su Rui suggested.

During this period of time, although Gu Yu Cheng seldom went to the company, he stayed at home and accompanied her, which was also really hard.

Consider this as giving him a ‘small benefit’ in advance.

Looking at Gu Yu Cheng’s bewildered and excited look when he heard her words, Su Rui held back her laughter, winked at him and added, “Time is limited, opportunities are rare …”

Before Su Rui finished her sentence, Gu Yu Cheng already answered her in the most direct way possible.

As Su Rui looked at Gu Yu Cheng leaning over, she thought of something and glanced to the side again.

At this time, Gu An An was lying in his crib. His eyes were open in a particularly energetic manner and his eyes full of novelty as his eyes followed a few small toys on top of the stroller.

Every now and then a smile would appear on his face, and occasionally he would stretch out his short paws to grab them.

When he fails to do so, he frowns in displeasure and then, he continues to be amused after a few seconds.

Thinking of her son being right next to her just now, there was a rare blush on Su Rui’s, a young married woman, face.

“Let’s go to the bathroom.”

“En,” Gu Yu Cheng softly responded.

Only after Su Rui had pacified Gu An An in the stroller again, she made sure that this guy was now playing with his toys and would not be in trouble for the time being, did Gu Yu Cheng carry Su Rui straight into the bathroom.

……

A door that separates two worlds.

It was quiet outside, and at this moment in the bathroom…

Listening to someone’s voice that was hard to restrain in her ears, Su Rui couldn’t help but lift the hand that was still free to cover Gu Yu Cheng’s mouth.“Gu Yu Cheng, keep your voice down! Don’t let your son hear you outside!”

Gu Yu Cheng suppressed his voice and said briefly, “Don’t worry, he doesn’t understand it.”

Su Rui specifically looked it up on the internet before.

Don’t think that little babies don’t understand anything. In fact at this stage, they perceive new things from the outside world very quickly.

She didn’t want her son to be forced to receive an ‘education’ in this area so early.

After Gu Yu Cheng said this, he directly took Su Rui’s hand that was covering his mouth and gave Su Rui’s fingers a light peck.

Only when Su Rui reflexively let go of her hand did Gu Yu Cheng lower his head and seal Su Rui’s lips.

For a moment, the low growls that had been echoing in the bathroom turned into the sound of secretive, yet urgent and hot breathing.

……

Half an hour later, after Su Rui had washed her hands and put on the hand cream in the bathroom. She came out and the first thing she did was to look at the side of the crib.

Gu An An was still awake at this moment.

He wasn’t staring at his toys anymore, but his eyes were staring straight up at the ceiling somewhere, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Su Rui sighed as she looked at her son.

This is the result of sleeping too much during the day.

She’s already feeling a bit sleepy now, yet this little one is still so energetic.

After tidying up in the bathroom, Gu Yu Cheng came over and brought Su Rui into his arms from behind.

Lowering his head, Gu Yu Cheng placed a gentle kiss on Su Rui’s cheek.

Gu Yu Cheng said, “If you’re sleepy, go to sleep first. I’ll watch Gu An An.”

Upon hearing his words, Su Rui nodded and reminded him.

“Then if he is hungry and fussy in a while, you can feed him a little milk powder. Not too much! 30ml will do.”

“Okay.”

“Go to sleep.”“En.”……

Su Rui originally thought that she could leave the baby to Gu Yu Cheng and go to bed.

Who knew that in the middle of the day, Mother Su, who was worried that her grandson might not have enough to eat, would come again?

Gu Yu Cheng had gone down to make milk powder and Mother Su came over.

At first glance, the sharp-eyed Ms Liu Yue caught sight of the suspicious marks on her daughter’s neck that were exposed on the outside of her pyjamas.

Mother Su’s face changed.

“Rui Rui, you two…”

Following Mother Su’s line of sight Su Rui already guessed what the other party was trying to say.

“No, absolutely not!” Su Rui said in a very certain tone.

“Then how did it come about?” Liu Yue asked as she cast another glance at Su Rui.

“Nothing.” After a pause, Su Rui added, “Uh, don’t worry mum. We won’t mess around.”

“Rui Rui, I’m telling you….”

“Mm-hmm. Mum, I know.”

“I’m telling you and you’re still not happy to listen.” Mother Su muttered, and stared at Su Rui for a while longer before reluctantly withdrawing her gaze and going to look at her precious grandson.

“Aiyo, come let grandma take a look, why is our little Yan Rui still awake.”

Gu Yan Rui, the name that was finally decided upon for Classmate Gu An An.

The two names, ‘Yan Rui’ and ‘Ming Rui’, were split up because the elders on both sides liked one or the other, so they simply took one word from each name.

Thus, the name Gu Yan Rui emerged.

Su Rui still likes to call her son “Gu An An.” However, Mother Su probably thinks the name Gu Yan Rui is pleasant to the ears, so she usually calls him by his given name.

……

Gu Yu Cheng just finished making milk powder and was about to head up. He met Mother Su, who was about to go down to watch a drama, at the staircase.

Originally, Mother Su was just going to greet him. But in the end, she couldn’t resist and called out to Gu Yu Cheng to remind him.“Yu Cheng, Rui Rui will be out of confinement in a few days. So you should pay attention to what you need to do in these 10 days ……”

Hearing the meaning behind Mother Su’s words, Gu Yu Cheng’s expression froze slightly for a second.

“I know, Mum.” Gu Yu Cheng added after a pause, “Don’t worry.”

It was indeed only ten or so days away.

However, these ten or so days were a torturous period for Gu Yu Cheng.

Gu Yu Cheng almost counted the days on his fingers and waited until two weeks later, when he took Su Rui to the hospital for a postnatal checkup.

Su Rui recovered well from the birth and all the indicators were normal.

Hearing this from the doctor, Gu Yu Cheng was completely relieved. At the same time, a fire was lit in his heart.

“Phew, we can finally go out.” Su Rui said happily as she sat in the car. “I miss B University and the alleyway outside the east gate of B University.”

The alleyway in front of University B is a very good restaurant. It was also a restaurant that Gu Yu Cheng went with Su Rui to personally try it. After which, this was the restaurant they loved to go to the most.

The restaurant’s dishes were really good. Occasionally during the day, Su Rui would go with Tang Xiao, Liu Ling and a few students from her class.

Beside her, Gu Yu Cheng smiled, looked at Su Rui and said, “Let’s go today?”

“You are saying that we’re going there for dinner today?”

“Do you want go?”

“Sure?” Su Rui’s eyes slightly lit up with some anticipation.

Thinking about it, after coming out of the month, there was relatively less to avoid eating.

It didn’t matter much if she ate a meal outside.

She was really tired of eating the nutritious postnatal meals at home every day and wanted a change to her taste buds.

Moreover, since she had Gu An An, she didn’t seem to have much time to spend alone with Gu Yu Cheng.

“Then I’ll call and tell mum that we won’t be eating at home tonight and she can help watch An An.”

“En, I’ll call and reserve a table.”

When she received Su Rui’s call and heard that the two of them were going to eat out, Mother Su originally did not quite approve of it.

She originally wanted to say something. But in the end, she held back after much thought.She only instructed Su Rui over the phone that she should not eat food that is raw, cold, spicy, etc.

After she hung up the phone, Mother Su couldn’t help but pull Father Su to complain.

In the end, after Mother Su repeated what she said, Old Comrade Su just faintly concluded, “You also have to understand the young people.”

The author has something to say:

Gu An An: I suspect my parents did something right under my nose, but I can’t understand it.
