Chapter 441 Accompanied by the mortal world, carefree and unrestrained
Lu Ran looked at Shen Yuege and, for some reason, felt that she seemed even more charming.
Feeling that Shen Yuege should be fine, Lu Ran continued working.
Shen Yuege pulled the blanket up a bit, leaned against the cushions, and looked out at the blue sky and white clouds.
Summers in Shanghai can occasionally bring such pleasant weather—neither stuffy nor hot, with a breeze blowing in through the window carrying the scent of sycamore leaves.
She recalled that when she first met Lu Ran, she didn't have a good impression of him.
Of course, I don't have any bad feelings about it.
She just thought Lu Ran was an ordinary junior she had found.
Later, by a twist of fate, he asked me to sing a song with him, but I felt that he was too mysterious, hiding everything from me.
Later, the two were forced to get married and live under the same roof. She felt that this person had no redeeming qualities other than being smart.
But their previous views have changed.
But as time went on, she gradually discovered that this person was actually very simple.
He schemes, but he doesn't scheme against those around him.
He kept things to himself, but he didn't lie to her.
He's stingy with money, but he's never stingy with her.
He doesn't say nice things, but what he does carries more weight than any nice words.
Like now, he put aside his company affairs to stay home with her. It's not just talk; he truly puts his work aside.
She watched as he processed emails, one message after another popping up on the screen. He replied to each one, some of his replies being quite lengthy, indicating that the matter was not simple.
Although I was at work, I always took care of her feelings.
He sat at the other end of the sofa, dealt with the matter, and then continued to stay with her.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuege felt a strange, indescribable feeling welling up inside her.
It's not about being moved; the word "moved" is too weak.
It's something heavier, like a stone that has landed firmly on the ground, unmoved by wind or rain.
She placed her hand on her stomach, feeling the tiny heartbeat.
The fetus was six weeks old, and its heartbeat was still very small, but she knew it was there.
"Lu Ran," she called again.
Lu Ran looked up again. This time he didn't ask "What's wrong?" He glanced at her, closed his laptop, put it on the coffee table, and then moved over to sit next to her.
"What do you want to say?"
Shen Yuege shook her head: "There's nothing to say. I just wanted to tell you that I'm not worried anymore."
"Aren't you worried about anything?"
"I'm not worried about getting pregnant. I'm not worried about work. I'm not worried about the Golden Melody Awards. I'm not worried about the wedding. I'm not worried about anything."
Lu Ran looked at her, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up: "You were worried before?"
"I was worried. I was especially scared the day the test results came out. Not because I was afraid of having a baby, but because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything. I was afraid the Super Boy competition would be a disaster, afraid I wouldn't win the Golden Melody Award, afraid you wouldn't be able to handle everything by yourself. I was afraid of all sorts of things. But I've come to terms with it these past two days. Others can do what needs to be done, and we can do what we can't do later. The sky isn't going to fall."
She paused, looking into Lu Ran's eyes: "Besides, even if the sky falls, won't you be there to hold it up?"
Lu Ran felt a warmth in his heart after hearing her words.
He wanted to say something sentimental, but after opening his mouth for a long time, not a single word came out. Finally, he reached out and ruffled Shen Yuege's hair, saying, "Don't worry about anything anymore. With me here, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Shen Yuege smiled, took his hand off her head, and placed it on her stomach.
"Try it out."
"Feel what? It's only been six weeks, I can't feel anything."
"Feel with your heart, not your hands."
Lu Ran placed his hand on her stomach, closed his eyes, and pretended to feel it for about ten seconds. Then he opened his eyes and said something that made Shen Yuege want to hit him: "I felt it. He's saying, 'Daddy, I'm hungry.'"
Shen Yuege patted him on the shoulder and laughed.
For the next period of time, Shen Yuege's life was as stable as a pendulum.
I woke up naturally around eight o'clock in the morning, and Lu Ran had already prepared breakfast.
After breakfast, I relax on the sofa, scrolling through my phone or reading a book. Around 10 a.m., I take a 15-minute walk in the neighborhood.
After returning, Lu Ran handled company matters, while she watched variety shows or listened to music.
Have lunch, then take a nap.
In the afternoon, I'll get up, eat some fruit, read a book for a while, or make a phone call to a friend.
After dinner, the two of you watch a movie or chat, and then go to bed before 10 p.m.
She felt okay after one day of this kind of life, felt a little bored after three days, and completely adapted after a week, even began to enjoy it.
She discovered that people are actually very easily tamed by habits.
She used to be so busy every day that she felt like it was a crime to be idle.
Now that she's had a week off, she feels that her previous busy schedule was actually abnormal.
Humans aren't machines; they can't keep running all day long.
Moreover, Lu Ran took such good care of her that she sometimes wondered if she was dreaming.
She said she wanted to eat strawberries, so Lu Ran bought some that day, washed them, removed the leaves, and put them in a fruit bowl.
She said the strawberries were a bit sour, so the next day he changed the variety and bought the big, sweet milk strawberries.
She said she wanted to eat braised pork, but Lu Ran said that braised pork was too oily and not suitable, but she could try stewed pork ribs instead.
She ate it with some skepticism, but found that the stewed pork ribs were indeed quite good. Although they weren't as fragrant as braised pork, they were light and not greasy.
One time, she was lying on the sofa when she suddenly felt a soreness in her lower back, probably because she had been lying down for too long.
She didn't tell Lu Ran; she just changed her position.
Lu Ran saw it and asked her if she was feeling unwell. She said she was fine, just that her lower back was a little sore.
Without saying a word, Lu Ran put down his computer, walked behind the sofa, placed his hand on her waist, and gently massaged it.
His technique wasn't very professional, and he wasn't very good at controlling the pressure. Sometimes it was too light and he couldn't feel anything, and sometimes it was too heavy and Shen Yuege had to call for him to stop.
But he was very serious, pressing and asking, "Does it hurt here?" and "Is the pressure okay?"
After massaging for more than ten minutes, Shen Yuege's back pain was relieved, but her heart ached even more than her back.
It's a very pleasant acid.
It was that feeling of being cared for that made her nose tingle a little.
She used to think she was strong and didn't need anyone to take care of her.
She can carry her suitcase by herself to catch the high-speed train, and she can sing for three hours straight without rest at a concert.
She felt that she could do anything and didn't need anyone's help.
But now she realizes that she is not as strong as she thought.
It felt so good to have someone take care of her that she started to reflect on why she hadn't let someone else take care of her sooner.
However, this thought only lasted for half a second.
Because she knew that not just anyone could take care of her; only when Lu Ran took care of her did she feel comfortable.
If it were anyone else, even Priscilla Chan, she would feel uncomfortable.
Days passed by one by one.
It flows neither too fast nor too slow, like water.
She's given up on the Golden Melody Awards; if she can go, she'll go; if not, so be it.
She handles the studio's affairs remotely for an hour every day, checking emails and listening to reports. She makes the big decisions, but doesn't concern herself with the small details.
The final of Super Boy was handed over to Xu Manxue and the rest of the company. The group worked together quite well. She watched a few sample episodes and thought they were even better than when she was in charge.
On Lu Ran's side, all the games in the company are running normally. Sakura Games and EA are making more and more moves, but it's not time for a direct confrontation yet.
After finishing his work each day, he spends the rest of his time with her.
The two sometimes chat, sometimes they don't, each doing their own thing, but they're both in the same space.
Shen Yuege felt that she could live like this forever.
She used to crave excitement and passion, but now she feels that a simple and ordinary life is just as good.
I used to think love had to be passionate, but now I think love can also be about each of us doing our own thing on the sofa, occasionally glancing up at each other and finding that the other person is looking at you too, then laughing together and going back to doing our own thing.
This kind of life is called "living in the mortal world, carefree and unrestrained."
It's not the carefree kind of wandering the world with a sword, but the kind of carefree living that comes with daily necessities.
It's the carefree feeling of two people eating together, taking walks together, watching TV together, and welcoming a new life together.
Shen Yuege removed Lu Ran's hand from her stomach, turned over to face him, and then put her foot between his legs.
Her feet weren't cold; they were warm.
"Lu Ran".
"Um."
"I think I made the right choice marrying you."
Lu Ran was stunned for a moment.
Shen Yuege rarely says such things; she always expresses her feelings through actions rather than words.
She cooked for him, bought him clothes, and made him tea when he worked overtime.
She rarely says directly, "I think you're great" or "I chose the right person."
"You just realized that?" he asked.
Shen Yuege kicked his leg lightly.
"I discovered it a long time ago. But I didn't want to tell you, afraid you'd become arrogant."
"I'm proud now. You saying that will keep me proud for the rest of my life."
