The body is still recuperating and recovering, update less frequently.

------------------

Among all the elders of the Lin Family, the ones Lin Chuchun respects the most are Lin Baohe and Lin Baojuan.

He and Chuqiu are twins, but since childhood, Chuqiu has received more love from their grandparents and parents. He has a stubborn personality, speaks little, and doesn’t know how to say pleasing words. No matter whether the trouble was caused by him or Chuqiu, he was always the one to get scolded.

Especially when it came to bullying Chuxia, it was always Chuqiu’s doing, but each time he would end up taking the blame. As for the bullied Chuxia, he often couldn’t figure out who exactly bullied him, so even if he wanted to appeal, he couldn’t find a witness.

He thought his second uncle would dislike him, but his second uncle said he couldn’t do such things. Once, he overheard his second uncle telling his parents that it wasn’t his doing and not to scold him.

He was moved to tears then, but he had a personality that didn’t know how to express himself. He knew his second uncle treated him well, and he was grateful, but he didn’t know how to say it.

What he could do in return was stop Chuqiu from bullying Chuxia whenever he was around in the future to ensure Chuxia didn’t get bullied.

Also, when his grandparents and parents held anything against his second uncle’s family, he would risk being kicked out of the house to inform his second uncle’s family.

This is the reason he respects his second uncle Lin Baohe, very simple, but to him, extremely precious because his second uncle truly understands him.

His little aunt, besides his second uncle, was another person who spoke up for him.

His little aunt was also someone, besides his second uncle, who noticed he was always taking the fall for Chuqiu.

The dislike his grandparents had for his second uncle’s family was very clear to him, but his little aunt managed to maintain a relationship with both his second uncle’s family and his grandparents.

Though sometimes his grandparents would scold his little aunt, they didn’t hold a grudge against her. It amazed him how she could manage this balance.

Each time his little aunt returned to her family home, she’d bring gifts for him and Chuqiu and always reminded Chuqiu not to snatch his. This understanding was very heartwarming.

So, when this moment came, and his little aunt urged him not to refuse the goodwill of his second uncle’s family, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse any longer. Hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I’ll do as you say."

"Good child, that’s a good child." Lin Baohe patted his shoulder with genuine joy. In his heart, Chuqiu was still his own nephew, same as Lin Wenbin.

Lin Baohe is a grateful person; he remembers all that Chuchun has done for his family. A helping hand extended in times of hardship is the most precious.

"Such a simple matter, yet it became so complicated..." Seeing the family finally reached an agreement, Fat Auntie laughed, "Chuchun, in the future, if your Second Uncle and Second Aunt are not at home, you can treat me and your Uncle Gangshun as your Second Uncle and Second Aunt.

I am not trying to get close on purpose; your Brother Hongqi and Sister Xiaoqiong both needed care from your Second Uncle and Second Aunt, so I naturally need to take care of you too, right?"

Chuchun touched his forehead with a smile, not responding.

Zhao Yulan hurriedly tried to mediate, "You, don’t tease the child anymore; you know he’s honest."

"Honest?" Fat Auntie raised her eyebrows, "Yulan, aren’t you mistaken? This kid Chuchun is pretty clever internally, mark my words, his future accomplishments will definitely be no less than Hongqi."

"Who says honest people can’t have clever ideas? Look at Baohe, isn’t he full of ideas too?" Zhao Yulan shook her head, unable to comprehend Fat Auntie’s logic.

"Well, that’s true..." Fat Auntie laughed, "Seems like we’re speaking on different wavelengths; what I meant is like how my Hongqi is honest."

"Your Hongqi is also full of clever ideas."

Fat Auntie: "..." True, if her son didn’t have clever ideas, he wouldn’t have made such an agreement with Chuxia back then, sigh, she was digging her own pit...

"I was just joking with you..." Zhao Yulan laughed, "I know what you mean. According to you, Chuchun isn’t honest; he just doesn’t like to speak unnecessarily."

"See, that’s what I’m talking about..." Fat Auntie shot her a discontented glance, "Stayed in the city a few days, and your trickiness has really gone up."

Chuchun quietly breathed a sigh of relief; just now, he was quite nervous, afraid that because of him, the two of them might end up unpleasant.

"Yulan, Baohe, I think you’d better hurry back. Chuxia can’t handle stress now, and with our in-laws doing everything beyond reproach, we must make sure not to make them uncomfortable..." Old Lady Zhao looked at Zhou Mikang, "I know your family is generous, but we still need to be careful where it’s necessary."

Old Master Zhao quickly added, "Xiaomi, our Chuxia is young and hasn’t experienced much; if she does anything wrong, you need to mediate more for her.

During pregnancy, her mood and personality might change, so bear with her a little more, and speak up for her more in front of your family."

Zhou Mikang quickly assured, "Grandma, Grandpa, rest assured, my grandparents and parents treat Chuxia even better than they do me. If they know Chuxia’s expecting the next generation they’ve been yearning for, they’ll treat her even more carefully."

"No, no, no..." Chuxia hurriedly waved her hands, "Zhou Mikang, you must coordinate this; I can’t be looked at like a panda for more than nine months or I’ll go crazy."

"Don’t worry, it’ll all be coordinated for you, but you have to stop any strenuous exercises from now on. Other than walking, you can’t do any other activities."

"Can I still work at the hospital?"

"My suggestion is not to."

"But I don’t want to be cooped up at home."

"Well then..." Zhou Mikang paused, "Why don’t you continue attending university until it’s time to deliver. Then, I’ll help you with the procedures."

It seemed like this was the best way, even though she still had a tummy full of reluctance, Chuxia had to agree, her feelings were truly complicated.

Being a mom... she had never seriously considered this before.

When the two were discussing, Old Master Zhao, Old Lady Zhao, Zhao Yulan, and Lin Baohe didn’t express their opinions. They knew Chuxia’s character all too well. Although her character was much different now, the stubbornness was still there.

Moreover, they didn’t think staying at home was the best. After all, as Old Lady Zhao was worried, different living environments and staying with in-laws all the time would undoubtedly cause some friction, which wasn’t good for anyone.

Staying at school wouldn’t interfere with her studies and would allow her to settle down and take care of the pregnancy, which seemed the best solution.

With the matters settled, Chuxia’s mood relaxed, and she finally had the energy for some gossip, "Chuchun, do you know what’s going on with Chuqiu and Chunni now?" (To be continued.
