Looking at Lin Xiao Yu, Song Ying's eyes were filled with affection as she teased, "You young people are so full of energy. I just hope to settle on a house soon. Finding a place isn't easy; there are so many things to consider, it's making my head spin."
Lu Zean smiled as he served food to Song Ying, respectfully saying, "Mom, don't worry too much. Buying a house is indeed a big deal, but your taste is excellent; you will definitely find something satisfying."
At that moment, the waiter brought out the signature dish. Xiao Ting enthusiastically called out, "Stop chatting for now and try this dish; it’s fantastic! I made sure to reserve it."
Everyone eagerly picked up their chopsticks, and the sounds of laughter and clinking utensils intertwined in the restaurant. They shared their joys and sorrows, their deep friendship weaving a warm thread that tightly connected them all. Time seemed to linger in this beautiful moment of reunion, reluctant to depart.
In the restaurant, everyone sat around the table as the aroma of delicious food wafted through the air. Unbeknownst to them, the conversation shifted to future plans.
Song Ying set down her chopsticks, her gaze reflecting both hope and contemplation as she spoke first. "I’m thinking about buying a house near Lin Dongzhe's place, not just for convenience. Shanghai has rich educational resources, and once the baby is born, they will benefit from a better educational environment. I need to carefully choose in these next few days and aim for a house with a good layout and plenty of light. In the future, I can drop the kids off at a nearby school in the morning and pick them up in the evening. We can take walks in the neighborhood together and enjoy leisurely moments."
Lu Zean nodded slightly, his eyes filled with understanding and respect. "Mom, that's a great idea. With a stable home, everyone can feel settled. Lin Xiao Yu and I are also planning our career development. I've accumulated some experience and connections at work, and I'm planning to start a business with friends focused on Internet Technology projects. The tech field is evolving rapidly with many opportunities; I want to work hard to provide a better life for Lin Xiao Yu and our family."
Lin Xiao Yu gently held Lu Zean's hand, her eyes determined yet full of anticipation. "After my competition ends, I don’t want to be idle either. I want to continue my studies and enhance my professional skills. I might enroll in some specialized dance training courses to learn different styles of dance and even try choreography. Who knows? One day I might have my own dance studio where I can nurture more children who love dance and help them find confidence and joy through it."
Xiao Ting listened intently, her face lighting up with envy and longing. "You all have such clear goals; that's wonderful! Right now, my mind is filled with thoughts about my baby's healthy growth. After the baby is born, I want to spend quality time with him during his early years, capturing every adorable moment. Once he’s a bit older, I’d like to revisit my hobbies like painting; I want to depict all the beauty in life as a special record of his growth."
Song Ying smiled at Xiao Ting. "That’s such a warm thought; accompanying your child as they grow is indeed the most important thing. We’re all working towards our own goals; life will surely get better for us all."
Lu Zean added with a smile, "Yes, let’s support each other! Whether it’s family or career, we’ll navigate smoothly through it all. By then, during family gatherings, we’ll have even more wonderful things to share."
As everyone exchanged words in that cozy restaurant, they envisioned their future lives together. Each person's eyes sparkled with anticipation and confidence for what lay ahead, as if those beautiful plans were within reach.
