Xu Xiuxiu, fearing that the little one would reject a brother or sister, had not dared to tell him. After secretly instilling the idea of a sibling, Song Chengguang's reaction relieved Xu Xiuxiu. The little one was very accepting of the idea of a brother or sister, and upon learning that he was going to be a big brother, he was quite excited. Every day, before meals, upon waking, after meals, and before sleeping, there was a new ritual: he would lie on Xu Xiuxiu's belly and talk to the Little Baby for a while.
It was apparent that Song Chengguang truly welcomed the Little Baby in her womb, and her little treasure was eagerly anticipated.
Song Yuanhuan, though a stoic man on regular days, showed great interest in Xu Xiuxiu's pregnant belly. The composed and collected man became somewhat childish and endearing. Every night before sleep, he would gently rub Xu Xiuxiu's belly with his calloused hands, claiming it was a way to bond emotionally with the baby girl inside.
