Su Jingyang's pregnancy was different this time. He didn't suffer from morning sickness while travelling, but after returning to Rongcheng he vomited up every day until the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked open. When his spirit was weak, he would stay in bed lying down weakly. When his spirit was better, he would accompany his two sons.

Both Ah-Xi and Ah-Yu had turned one year old, and both of them could walk somewhat unstably on their own. They would say 'daddy' with their milky little voices and repeat some simple words. Su Jingyang sometimes watches their lively and lovely attics and become very emotional.

He had already deeply realized how arduous and difficult the process of pregnancy to childbirth to raising a child is.

However, he remembered the words Ling Li once said, the pain of having giving birth will gradually be forgotten as the child grows up. He didn't think it at the time, but he later remembered it and realised that it was true..

Watching them grow up all soft and warm, slowly they've learned to laugh, turn over, sit, crawl, walk, call him daddy... Seeing them healthy and happy, watching their clear and pure eyes. He felt the pain that was originally unforgettable, and all kinds of crushing hardships being replaced by something gentle. It's really amazing.

It's just... the one in his stomach hasn't been born yet, the physical discomfort is very present and there's nothing that could alleviate it. He was very worried that he'd develop back pain again by the last stages, it happened when he was pregnant with Ah-Yu and Ah-Xi and almost made him doubt his will to live. Although Li Yin said that it shouldn't happen anymore because he was only pregnant with one, Su Jing yang still lived in fear that the dark times would repeat itself for more than a month.

Rong Ci was privy to his overpowering anxiety and wild thoughts, he took him out of Liyang to relax, and they met with Rong Hua who was wandering outside.

Before, Rong Hua went to inquire about Lin Que. He finally confirmed himself that Lin Zhao really died and Lin Que would never get the chance to appear in this world. He was very sad and became depressed for a period of time. Su Jingyang couldn't bear it, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Ming Jiasheng seemed to have been circling around Rong Hua, trying his best to save his situation. However, Rong Hua was firm and calm, he had no intention of accepting him again, which made Su Jingyang a little relieved.

Su Jingyang also bluntly said to Rong Hua that he deserved someone better, and that he didn't want him to be with Ming Jiasheng.

After participating in a sacrifice in Rongcheng, Rong Hua said that he wanted to go to Full Moon Villa and then go to see Ling Li in Jincheng. A long time after he left, he wrote another letter saying that he had left Jincheng and wanted to go to other places.

Su Jingyang and Rong Ci went around and finally found Rong Hua staying in a small and remote village. Fortunately, Ming Jiasheng wasn't by his side and his mood seemed normal, he could still joke around with them as usual. After staying together for two days, Rong Hua separated from them and said that he would continue to look around.

Before leaving, Rong Hua told Su Jingyang that he would count the time, and would return to Rongcheng when he was about to give birth. Su Jingyang looked at the shrinking figure in red and sighed. He very much hoped that Rong Hua would come out of his shadows as soon as possible. The Rong Hua he knew should be as dazzling as a fire, bright and open, fearless in the face of everything. He shouldn't be like he was now, even though he's smiling, there was still some lingering coldness in his eyes.

Not long after Su Jingyang returned to Rongcheng, he received good news from the Palace. In the month of the new year, Ling Li smoothly gave birth to a little prince. Su Jingyang was very happy. If it weren't for his condition that didn't allow him to travel very far, he would've rushed to Jincheng again to see his newborn nephew.
