He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

On the rice paper, the phoenix is ​​depicted in a graceful posture, majestic yet peaceful, with long and gorgeous tail feathers. The birds are distributed in a well-organized manner, some clustered and some scattered, creating a harmonious overall composition with a strong sense of depth.

Looking at the densely packed lines of the draft on the paper, Chen Hao could already picture the finished painting in his mind, and a sense of anticipation grew within him.

He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. The hour hand was pointing to 3:30 in the afternoon, which was the time to pick up Sisi from kindergarten.

Chen Hao put away his charcoal pencils, tidied up the Xuan paper on the drawing table, weighed it down with a paperweight, and arranged the brushes, ink, and inkstone neatly before turning around, leaving the studio, picking up his coat and keys, and driving to the kindergarten.

The car drove smoothly on the road. Chen Hao's speed was not fast, but steady. Occasionally, the composition of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" would flash through his mind, and he would think about how to outline the details next.

A dozen minutes later, the car arrived at the kindergarten gate, where a number of parents, mostly grandparents, had already gathered.

Some young parents stood in twos and threes, talking quietly, their eyes all fixed on the kindergarten gate, waiting for their children to be dismissed.

Chen Hao found a spot near the gate, put his hands in his pockets, looked calmly at the kindergarten gate, a faint smile on his face, and imagined Sisi jumping around in his mind.

He spends most of his time at home, either writing or painting. Picking up and dropping off Sisi at school has become an almost daily routine for him, and this companionship makes him feel exceptionally secure.

"Sisi's dad?"

A gentle woman's voice came from behind him, tinged with a barely perceptible sob, breaking Chen Hao's thoughts.

He paused slightly, turned around, and looked in the direction from which the sound came. He saw a woman slowly walking towards him.

The woman was probably around thirty years old, wearing a loose, off-white knitted cardigan; she was rather thin.

His face was still pale and bloodless, looking like he was recovering from a serious illness. He walked slowly and appeared extremely weak.

Her hair was casually tied back, revealing her smooth forehead. There were faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but her eyes were full of sincerity and gratitude.

Beside her was a little girl, wearing a pink dress, with two small pigtails, big eyes, and fair skin. It was Duoduo.

Chen Hao recognized Duoduo at a glance. His gaze fell on the woman, and a memory flashed through his mind. He paused for a moment, then realized, "You are... Duoduo's mother?"

That's right, it's Duoduo's mom.

There was a car accident at the kindergarten gate that day. The scene was chaotic. When he arrived at the scene, Duoduo's mother was already lying on the ground, covered in blood, breathing weakly, and her heart had stopped beating.

The situation was urgent, and without thinking twice, he rushed over to stop her bleeding and perform CPR, pulling her back from the brink of death little by little.

After the ambulance arrived, he took Sisi and left. He never saw Duoduo's mother again, and he never expected to run into her here.

The woman walked up to Chen Hao, her eyes instantly reddening, tears welling up, her voice choked with sobs, barely able to speak: "It's me, Sisi's father."

I've been wanting to thank you properly for a while, but I've been recovering in the hospital and haven't been able to go out.

If it weren't for you that day, I might... I might never have seen Duoduo again.

As she spoke, tears finally streamed down her pale cheeks, making her look exceptionally pitiful.

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying to calm herself down, and continued, "The doctor said I'm recovering very quickly, even better than expected."

They also said that if someone hadn't stopped the bleeding in time and performed CPR, even if I had been saved, I might have suffered serious aftereffects, or even never woken up again.

Sisi's dad, you saved my life, you saved our family, and you saved Duoduo's mom.

I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life and never forget it.

As she spoke, she handed the things in her hand to Chen Hao.

It was an exquisite fruit basket, wrapped in transparent plastic, filled with all sorts of fruits.

There were golden oranges, bright red apples, fuzzy kiwis, and a bunch of crystal-clear red grapes. Every fruit looked fresh and plump, clearly carefully selected.

Beside the fruit basket, there was a red brocade banner rolled up, with gold patterns embroidered along the edges, making it look particularly solemn.

Chen Hao froze, instinctively taking a step back, not immediately reaching for it.

"What is this...?"

He never imagined that he would receive such gratitude for simply doing something within his ability, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"You must accept this." Duo Duo's mother firmly pressed the item into Chen Hao's hands.

"The fruit in this basket is all grown by our family. It's not worth much money, it's just a small token of our appreciation, please don't mind."

I asked Duoduo's father to make this banner. It reads "Heroic Acts, Benevolent Heart of a Healer".

I know you're not a doctor, nor are you some important person, but what you did that day was braver than many doctors and more responsible than many others.

Chen Hao looked at the banner in his hand, his fingertips gently tracing the characters on it, a slightly embarrassed expression on his face:

"You're too kind. In that situation, anyone would have offered help. I just did what I was supposed to do. I don't deserve your special thanks, let alone a banner."

"Not everyone can do that." Duo Duo's mother shook her head, looking at Chen Hao with unwavering determination, her tone utterly sincere.

"After the car accident that day, a lot of people gathered around. Some took out their phones to take pictures, and some were so scared that they started crying."

Some people were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they stood there, too afraid to move. No one dared to step forward to help.

Only you, upon seeing me fall to the ground, rushed over without a word, disregarding the danger, to stop my bleeding and perform CPR, without the slightest hesitation.

Sisi's father, you are a true hero, our family's savior. You deserve this banner.

Their conversation gradually attracted the attention of parents picking up their children from the surrounding area.

Everyone crowded around, chattering amongst themselves, their eyes all fixed on Chen Hao.
