Lin Xiao Yu had been quietly resting at home for a few days after coming back from the hospital. The news of her pregnancy filled her with both joy and a hint of anxiety. As she gently caressed her slightly rounded belly, she knew that a new chapter in her life was about to begin.
Considering the safety of the baby, Lin Xiao Yu had to reduce her usual high-intensity dance practice. Although she felt reluctant, she resolutely made the change for the sake of her child, redirecting her energy towards choreography and teaching her team. In the rehearsal hall, the team members gathered around Lin Xiao Yu, and a young dancer asked with concern, "Teacher Xiao Yu, will you not dance anymore?" Lin Xiao Yu smiled, her eyes filled with warmth as she softly replied, "Now that I have a little one on the way, I can't dance as freely as before. But I will share more of my experience with all of you." With that, she demonstrated a movement with gentle motions.
As for Lu Zean, ever since Lin Xiao Yu became pregnant, he had been busier than ever, fully focused on how to care for both her and their child. Every morning, before dawn broke, he would quietly get up, careful not to wake Lin Xiao Yu from her dreams. Then he would dive into the kitchen, preparing nutritious meals for her in various creative ways. He meticulously researched pregnancy recipes, carefully washing fresh vegetables while mumbling to himself, "These greens are nutritious; they will keep the baby healthy." He would then keep a close eye on the simmering chicken soup in the pot, occasionally skimming off the foam while saying to himself, "This soup needs to be rich and nourishing for Lin Xiao Yu."
At that moment, Lin Xiao Yu walked into the kitchen after waking up and gently hugged Lu Zean from behind, smiling as she said, "You’re so busy this early in the morning; you’re working hard." Lu Zean turned around and lightly tapped Lin Xiao Yu's nose with his finger, saying, "It’s not hard at all; as long as you and the baby are healthy."
When Lin Xiao Yu finished her day’s work and returned home, Lu Zean was always the first to greet her. He would take her bag and help her sit on the sofa with a concerned expression on his face as he asked, "Are you tired? Did the baby give you any trouble?" Lin Xiao Yu smiled and replied, "Not tired; the baby is good." Lu Zean hurried into the kitchen to bring out the prepared meal and kept serving her dishes while cheerfully saying, "Try this; I made it just for you and the baby." Lin Xiao Yu teased him, "Are you trying to feed me like a little pig?" Lu Zean replied seriously, "You’re eating for two now; you need to eat more."
Under Lu Zean's attentive care, Lin Xiao Yu's face radiated happiness. She knew that this new life was making their lives warmer and more fulfilling.
To better care for Lin Xiao Yu, Lu Zean not only meticulously planned her diet but also made detailed modifications around their home. He filled their living room coffee table with various snacks and drinks suitable for pregnant women and put up sticky notes reminding Lin Xiao Yu what to eat at different times to supplement her nutrition. He covered all sharp corners of furniture with protective padding to prevent any accidental bumps.
During the day, Lu Zean would accompany Lin Xiao Yu to the dance studio, always carrying a bag filled with items she might need—warm water, a small blanket, comfortable flat shoes, and some energy-boosting snacks. During breaks, he would quickly hand her the blanket while softly saying, "Don’t catch a chill; wrap yourself in this." If he saw Lin Xiao Yu standing for too long while guiding her team members, he would tenderly massage her shoulders and ask with concern, "Are you tired, my dear? Let me give you a rub; you can’t overexert yourself now; think about the baby." Lin Xiao Yu smiled back and said, "With you here, I’m not struggling too much; I’m just a bit worried about whether my choreography will be good enough since I can’t demonstrate all the movements myself." Lu Zean quickly reassured her: "Don’t worry; you’re a professional. Even if you don’t dance yourself, I’m sure what you guide will be excellent. Right now your main task is to take care of yourself and the baby; everything else is on me."
One time Lin Xiao Yu suddenly craved a special pastry from her hometown. Without hesitation, Lu Zean ran all over town visiting various pastry shops one by one until he finally found it. When he returned home drenched in sweat and presented the pastries to Lin Xiao Yu with a smile saying, "I ran around for so long just to find this; hurry up and taste it to see if it’s what you wanted," Lin Xiao Yu felt tears welling up in her eyes as she said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Lu Zean! You went through so much trouble just because I mentioned it casually." Lu Zean gently wiped away her tears from the corner of her eyes and said softly: "Silly girl! You’re pregnant now; if it’s something you want to eat no matter how difficult it is for me to find it."
In the evenings, Lu Zean would lean against the headboard reading parenting books aloud to Lin Xiao Yu. After finishing a chapter he would gently stroke her belly and ask tenderly: "Baby, did you hear Daddy reading stories to you?" Lin Xiao Yu laughed and replied: "He’s still so small; how could he hear anything?" But Lu Zean insisted seriously: "I believe he can feel it; he must be listening intently inside." He then asked playfully: "Do you think our baby will inherit your dancing talent?" Lin Xiao Yu answered: "No matter who he takes after as long as he is healthy and happy." Lu Zean nodded in agreement: "Yes! Health and happiness are most important. Once our baby is born I’ll take him to see you dance so he can feel the atmosphere of art from an early age." Lin Xiao Yu teased him: "Aren’t you afraid he’ll be too mischievous down there causing trouble?" Lu Zean laughed: "That would be a unique experience! Our baby will definitely be the cutest little troublemaker."
Before bedtime each night Lu Zean would warm up a cup of milk for Lin Xiao Yu then gently massage her legs to ease away fatigue while talking softly to their baby: "Baby, Mommy has worked hard today; you must be good." Lin Xiao Yu joked: "You talk to our baby every day—isn’t that secretly telling him that Mommy isn’t obedient?" Lu Zean laughed in response: "Of course not! I’m telling him how much Mommy loves him; we’re all looking forward to his arrival." Under Lu Zean's meticulous care and affection during this pregnancy period filled with warmth and security Lin Xiao Yu eagerly anticipated bringing new life into their world while deeply feeling Lu Zean's love for both her and their child.
