From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

These words finally made her lose her composure.

Su Qing glared at me fiercely, and without saying a word, she lowered her head slightly and gently bit my forearm.

She didn't use any force; her teeth merely brushed lightly against the fabric. It was less of a bite and more of a playful form of punishment.

But I still played along and yelled loudly, pretending to be exaggerated: "Ah! Songkou Songkou! Are you a dog? You start hitting and talking at the drop of a hat!"

"You deserve to be bitten to death!"

She opened her mouth, glared at me, her tone resentful, but there was no anger in her eyes, only her little grievances.

I was completely exasperated and sighed helplessly, "Can you please stop this? You clearly saw it yourself, she asked for my contact information, and I refused without even thinking."

Su Qing stared into my eyes and pressed me earnestly, "Then let me ask you, if I hadn't been there just now, and no one had been watching you, would you have given it to me or not?"

Without much hesitation, I said directly, "No."

My answer was so straightforward that it surprised her slightly.

She pursed her lips and murmured softly, as if speaking to me, yet also as if talking to herself:

"Looks like I'll have to be more open about our relationship on live streams from now on. Right now, a lot of fans don't even know I'm your girlfriend."

I explained somewhat helplessly, "Most of them are outdoor enthusiasts who focus on route exploration and video content. They don't care about these kinds of love stories and family matters."

"Look at you, you're taking their side again."

Su Qing immediately frowned, feigning grievance, and said, "What, you have nothing to talk about with me, but you have a lot in common with other girls, right?"

I let out a long sigh, feeling utterly helpless.

At that moment, I completely understood that reasoning with a girl who is jealous is completely pointless.

They already knew the answer in their hearts and wouldn't listen to any explanations.

I simply gave in and changed the subject, going along with her words: "You're right, it's indeed time to publicly reveal your identity and let everyone know that you are my only girlfriend."

These words finally calmed her down.

She put aside her temper, looked at me seriously, and said softly, "What if other female fans recognize you and try to talk to you in the future? You're getting more and more popular now, and this kind of thing will only happen more and more often in the future. To be honest, I'm starting to feel a little pressured."

I jokingly said to her, "Who was it that confidently told me before that they were super confident, never jealous, and never stressed? And now, after just a few days, they've lost their confidence?"

"screw you!"

Su Qing raised her hand and gently patted me, stubbornly saying, "I'm very confident! It's not that I'm not confident, it's that I'm afraid someone won't have enough self-control and will be bewitched by another girl with just a few words."

I chuckled at her adorable appearance, then immediately stopped teasing her, looked at her with utmost seriousness, and said:

"You can rest assured, this kind of thing will never happen to me."

Su Qing gave a soft snort, putting the little episode of jealousy behind her, and then returned to the previous topic, looking at me seriously.

"Let's put that aside for now; you still haven't answered me. What are your thoughts if I never plan to have children in my life?"

I didn't have time to think about this question in detail just now.

I paused for a few seconds, gathering my truest thoughts, and slowly began to speak:

"To be honest, I want children. Not for the sake of carrying on the family line, nor for any worldly conventions, but simply because I love you and want to have a little bond that belongs to just the two of us."

"If the person on the other end of the line isn't you, I probably wouldn't consider having children. In a marriage without love, children will only become a burden for both of us."

Su Qing blinked her bright eyes, a hint of surprise in them: "You answered so seriously?"

"You've asked me twice already, which means you care a lot about the answer. How can I just brush you off?" I looked at her gently.

Su Qing suddenly smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said earnestly, "Actually, I'm not so much concerned about the answer. What I've always cared about is your attitude. And I think the same as you; even if you don't want it, I will want children in the future."

She paused, then continued, "Because I love you, I want a future and a connection with you. If I didn't love you, I would never consider having children in my life."

I couldn't help but laugh and ask, "You just said you're still a child yourself and not ready to be a mother at all. Are you really sure?"

Su Qing shook her head honestly and said frankly, "To be honest, I wasn't prepared at all. But who is born knowing how to be a parent? Everyone is doing it for the first time, and we all learn and adjust gradually. I might not do any worse than others."

My heart warmed, and I reached out to gently stroke her soft cheek, saying with tenderness:

"Of course you're no worse than anyone else. In my eyes, you'll always be the best and most perfect."

I love hearing you praise me.

Su Qing smiled sweetly and said, "When others praise me, I always feel it's just polite flattery, but only when you praise me do I feel the most comfortable."

"Then I'll praise you every day from now on, and spoil you more and more," I joked.

"Then I'll be spoiled rotten by you!" Su Qing laughed heartily.

"It's what I'm supposed to do."

We snuggled together, chatting casually.

The oppressive atmosphere in the ward completely dissipated, leaving only gentleness and relaxation.

At that moment, I also saw a side of Su Qing that she rarely showed.

She appears carefree, insightful, confident, and composed, but in reality, she can also get jealous, throw tantrums, and experience moments of anxiety and insecurity.

Even though she knew perfectly well in her heart that I would not change my mind, and understood that the nurse fan was just simply excitedly admiring me.

But she would still openly express her displeasure and throw little tantrums.

That's just her personality; she never hides her joys, sorrows, or anger. All her emotions are clearly written on her face, and I never have to rack my brains to guess them.

I secretly rejoiced that I had met someone like her.

I've never been in a relationship, strictly speaking, I've never been in one.

I don't understand complicated emotional games, but I've always known that the best relationships never need suspicion or internal conflict.

Many couples argue and have cold wars simply because they can't figure out what the other is thinking, but Su Qing and I never have this problem.

Even if we just quietly snuggle together without saying a word, we don't feel awkward at all; we feel a relaxed and safe feeling all over.

This natural and stress-free way of getting along is the most precious luck in my life.

Time passed slowly, and two hours flew by. Finally, all three IV drips were finished.

When the nurse came to remove the needle, Su Qing, who had been calm the whole time, finally frowned and hissed softly.

It seems she wasn't in no pain, but she was holding it in, not wanting to appear cowardly in front of me.

The nurse carefully put away the needle and reminded us that there was one last routine preoperative examination.

Once today's procedures are completed, the process is finished, and you can leave the hospital normally.
