Good Dad System (Arc 7) Chapter 57.1: After Being Abducted (21)
In the quiet office, some unimportant things were placed cluttered on the table. There were three people in the room, one sitting and two squatting. She had imagined the scene of meeting again a thousand times and simulated the words to be said countless times. The mood in her heart, but when it really came true, it was completely different.
Yang Qiuping’s hands were shaking, and she wanted to touch her baby Yuanyuan hesitantly, but she was afraid that the dream would be shattered if she touched it. Pei Naochun beside her was relatively calm, but the strong emotions left over from his original body made him feel overwhelmed and unable to calm himself.
He put on a smiling face, not even blinking, for fear of missing a glance at the child: “Yuanyuan…” He paused, and then called, “Your name is Dongshun now, right?”
“Yeah.” Pei Yuanbo nodded, pinching his flesh with his hands. He had no idea how to deal with the situation. He could see that this uncle and aunt – no, his father and mother were very sad, but what should he do? He was suddenly at a loss.
Yang Qiuping started to cry when she heard the name “Dongshun”. Pei Naochun patted her soothingly, afraid of scaring the child. He spoke carefully: “Dongshun, I’m your…father.” When he said the word “father”, his eyes also filled with tears. He blinked uncontrollably, unable to hold back the tears. “The person next to me is your mother. Your previous name was Pei Yuanbo.”
Yang Qiuping choked up and added that she could understand her husband’s intentions, but she could not control her emotions. She suddenly grabbed Pei Yuanbo’s hand: “Yuanyuan, you are your mother’s Yuanyuan…” She wanted to hug him and ask him if he had been living well all these years.
Pei Yuanbo was started by Yang Qiuping’s sudden attack. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but soon realized that something was wrong and obediently let her hold his hand – his mother’s hand, which seemed to have no flesh, with distinct joints, and was a little cold.
“If you don’t mind, can we start calling you Yuanyuan now?”
“…I don’t mind.” Pei Yuanbo shook his head, but he felt somewhat helpless in his heart. From today on, he might no longer be the Dongshun from Lindai Village, nor the brother of Xishun, the son of Lu’s parents.
Pei Naochun took off the backpack he had been carrying since early in the morning. The things inside were too heavy, and it made a loud noise when he put it on the ground: “Yuanyuan, Dad brought some of your old things and photos from home. Do you want to see them?”
Pei Yuanbo stared at the schoolbag and asked involuntarily: “Can I see it?”
“Of course.” Yang Qiuping wiped her tears. Her clothes were all stained with tear marks. “Of course you can see it.” She felt a little weak, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.
Pei Yuanbo was so scared that he immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to grab her, but failed. Fortunately, Pei Naochun reacted quickly and supported his wife in time. He hesitated, with his hand in the air: “… Sit on the chair, you look a little uncomfortable.” He reacted in an instant and concealed the address.
“Yuanyuan, are you talking to your mother?” Yang Qiuping didn’t pay attention to these things. She was very surprised and asked eagerly, “Yuanyuan, are you talking to your mother?” Her son was caring about her!
Looking at the excitement and joy in his mother’s eyes, Pei Yuanbo felt guilty more and more. He shouldn’t have been like this: “…Mom, come up and sit.” Yes, he should have called out to her a long time ago. How sad would they be?
“…You, did you call me mom?” Yang Qiuping cried so hard that her eyes were sore and dry. She responded while coughing, “…Can you call me mom again?” How many years have she waited for this mom? In countless dreams, she dreamed of Yuanyuan’s voice far away, he called, “Mom, why don’t you come to me?” Then she woke up crying.
After the switch was turned on, the second sound was also easy. Pei Yuanbo encouraged himself in his heart and reached out to help Yang Qiuping: “Mom, come up and sit down.” Too many speculations in the past have disappeared at this moment. He turned his head to look at Pei Naochun, his lips trembling, and he spoke again, “Dad, you should sit down too. It’s tiring to squat.”
“…Ok.” Pei Naochun responded, and he and his wife sat on the left and right of Pei Yuanbo. He began to take things out of his schoolbag.
The first things he took out were three or four thick photo albums. Fortunately, this was a large mountaineering bag, otherwise it would not have been able to hold them all. But the weight of these albums alone was enough to surprise people. After all, Pei Naochun’s body was no longer as thin as before.
When Yang Qiuping saw what her husband took out, she immediately realized that before leaving, Pei Naochun had been fiddling in the room for a long time, and she hadn’t noticed that he had brought all the photo albums. She picked up the top one with a landscape cover, without a speck of dust because the owner had flipped through it thousands of times: “This one was taken when you were not yet born, your father and I wanted to record every detail of your life.” She opened the album, placed it on Pei Yuanbo’s feet, and explained it to him.
“This photo was taken when your father and I went to the hospital and found out we were pregnant with you.” Yang Qiuping was pointing to the first photo in the album. The couple took a photo in front of the table in the living room, showing her big belly. “The next photo was taken when I was pregnant. Your father helped me take it. It’s not that good.” She wanted to flip back to the photo of Yuanyuan, but she found that Pei Yuanbo was looking at it very carefully, with his hand on it.
Pei Yuanbo lowered his head and looked at them seriously. To be honest, although he had not seen many photos, he knew that the shooting level of the photos was quite average. Most of them were taken in horizontal format, with fluorescent orange time in the lower right corner. The first few pages were all photos of Yang Qiuping. He could clearly see that her lower abdomen went from flat to getting higher and higher. There were even a few photos in the middle where she was wearing pajamas and her feet were so swollen that she couldn’t wear socks. There were even photos with her back to the camera, making noises in the toilet, which should be vomiting.
