Daily Life 2
Little Yuanyuan inherited the personalities of his two dads, being obedient and well-behaved since childhood, not fussy, and not crying often.
Only in the first week after birth, when he still lacked a sense of security, he would wake up and start wailing.
But when his grandmother, Lin Jiarong, held him and brought him to Yu Li or Yan Shiting, upon hearing his two dads' voices, his crying would stop.
Perhaps the prenatal education had its effect, as he could recognize the voices of his two dads.
At these times, Yu Li couldn't help but marvel, thankful that after having that dream, he had let Yan Shiting establish a good relationship with the baby in advance.
Seeing Yuanyuan now, that event in the dream definitely wouldn't happen.
By the time he was two months old, little Yuanyuan had already started smiling.
Whenever familiar people teased him a little, he would start smiling.
When he saw Yan Shiting and Yu Li, he would also smile.
His eyes would crinkle into two little moons, and his mouth would open into a half-circle, sometimes even happily kicking his little arms and legs.
The baby was already adorable by nature, and his obedient and lively personality made him even more endearing to those around him.
As Yuanyuan grew up, Yu Li found that he really liked shiny, beautiful stones.
The longevity lock that Yan Sui and Xu Changke gave him seemed to be the most beautiful in Yuanyuan's eyes, and he always grasped it tightly.
Besides that, Yuanyuan also really enjoyed swimming.
Therefore, Yan Shiting had specifically instructed someone to build a small swimming pool in the nursery, so that Yuanyuan could swim whenever he wanted.
It was April again, the early spring season still carrying a hint of coolness.
In the nursery, Yuanyuan, wearing a small swim ring, was happily kicking his legs in the warm water-filled swimming pool, his gaze always fixed on Yu Li standing by the shore.
"Ba, ba," he slapped the water surface, baring his tiny teeth in a smile, seemingly greeting Yu Li.
The almost one-year-old Yuanyuan could already say some meaningless words, mumbling "baba," "yaya," and the like.
He just couldn't accurately call out "Dad" yet.
Yu Li smiled and bent down, reaching out to touch Yuanyuan's chubby face, saying, "Are you so happy swimming? I never thought this duck-like me would have such a little fish baby."
The little fish baby couldn't understand his dad's words, but he could see the smile on his dad's face.
He splashed the water surface with his little arms and made a few more "yi yi ya ya" sounds.
Seeing this, Lin Jiarong laughed, "Actually, you used to love swimming when you were little, it's just that the family conditions weren't good back then, so you could only play in a tub. I can see that Yuanyuan takes after you in this regard."
It was just that later, Yu Li grew up without the opportunity to swim, gradually becoming a "land duck."
Yu Li pinched the little duck toy on the water surface, "Then I'll definitely learn to swim quickly in a while, so I can accompany Yuanyuan."
Lin Jiarong smiled contentedly, "My grandchild learns everything quickly, doesn't he?"
They both laughed.
After the swimming was over, Yu Li and Lin Jiarong finished bathing Yuanyuan and dressing him, and it was already 2 p.m.
Yu Li held Yuanyuan in his arms and bounced him a bit.
The nearly one-year-old baby was a bit heavy in his arms, but fortunately, Yu Li had also been exercising this past year, not only increasing his height to over 1.8 meters, but also gaining more strength.
He picked up the backpack containing Yuanyuan's daily necessities, saying, "Let's go, say bye to Grandma, we're going to pick up Big Dad from work."
Although it was still early for Yan Shiting to get off work, he could keep Yuanyuan company in the office for a while.
Yuanyuan obediently lay on Yu Li's shoulder and waved his little arm, "Ya ya!"
When they arrived at the Yan Group, the assistant, Jiang Yao, was already waiting at the gate.
Seeing Yu Li getting out of the car, Jiang Yao's lips curled up, and he quickly walked over.
"Mr. Yu, let me hold Yuanyuan."
This age of infancy is the most adorable, especially Yuanyuan, who smiles at everyone he sees and is not easily upset or noisy. All the adults who have seen him are extremely fond of him.
Yu Li also knew that Jiang Yao liked Yuanyuan, so he handed Yuanyuan over to him with confidence.
Yuanyuan didn't resist either. He first looked at Yu Li, knowing that his dad was always by his side, then obediently leaned on Jiang Yao.
When they reached the top floor of the headquarters, Yan Shiting was in a meeting, and his office was empty.
Yu Li took Yuanyuan to the rest room behind the office, taking out the toys from the backpack to play with him.
Since the first time Qianli brought Yuanyuan to the company to wait for Yan Shiting to get off work, the rest room had been carpeted with thick carpets, and all the furnishings had been wrapped with anti-collision strips.
Yuanyuan crawled around on the floor, the toy with bells in his hand making a light sound.
Yu Li listened to the sound of the bells, and went to the tea room next door, where Yan Shiting's private space was, to prepare a bottle of milk for Yuanyuan.
When he returned to the rest room with the milk bottle, the sound of the bells had stopped.
Yu Li looked around and found that Yuanyuan had crawled half his body under the bed, still in the posture of crawling forward, and had fallen asleep.
Infants naturally sleep a lot, and with the swimming today already consuming a lot of his energy, and only a brief nap on the way here, little Yuanyuan was now very tired.
Yu Li put down the milk bottle and pulled Yuanyuan out from under the bed.
Fortunately, the floor under the bed was also carpeted, so Yuanyuan's clothes were not dirty.
Yu Li gently took the toy from Yuanyuan's hand, removed his outer clothes and pants, and then tucked him into the blanket.
After doing all this, he also yawned.
He hadn't taken a nap at noon in order to accompany Yuanyuan swimming.
Yu Li simply lay down on the bed, hugging Yuanyuan and fell asleep.
Around 4 p.m., Yan Shiting finished the meeting and returned to the office, seeing the half-open door of the rest room.
His steps paused, and the previously sharp brows and eyes instantly softened.
Yan Shiting walked lightly into the rest room, seeing Yu Li hugging Yuanyuan in a deep sleep.
He walked to the bedside, stroking Yu Li's soft hair, and leaned down to gently kiss his forehead.
As he raised his head, he met Yuanyuan's gaze.
The young baby, not knowing when he had woken up, was lying obediently on the pillow, his chubby little face puckered up, his big grape-like eyes staring straight at Yan Shiting.
Seeing Yan Shiting looking at him, his eyes crinkled into a smile, and he opened his mouth, "Ba..."
"Shh." Yan Shiting raised his index finger to his lips.
Yuanyuan's voice abruptly stopped, his expression a bit puzzled.
But he knew that this gesture from Big Dad meant not to speak.
Yan Shiting's gaze grew tender.
He put down his hand, gently lifted Yuanyuan from the bed, took the baby's clothes and milk bottle, and left the rest room.

Yu Li slept until it was almost 5 p.m.
He stretched, reaching out to the side, only to find that Yuanyuan, who should have been on the bed, was gone.
Yu Li was startled, quickly sitting up and looking under the bed, relieved to find the baby was not there.
He then slowly relaxed, realizing that Yan Shiting must have taken the awake Yuanyuan away while he was asleep.
Yu Li patted his chest, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and when he came out of the rest room, he saw the now fully dressed Yuanyuan sitting in Yan Shiting's lap, holding a milk bottle and drinking.
Seeing him, Yuanyuan let go of the bottle nipple and waved the bottle towards Yu Li, opening his arms, his upper body leaning towards Yu Li a bit.
"Ba, ba."
That posture looked a bit dangerous, as if he was about to fall to the ground.
However, in reality, Yan Shiting had already steadily supported the baby's chest with one hand to prevent him from falling.
Seeing his son's cute behavior after waking up, Yu Li's heart was about to melt. He quickly walked over, wanting to take Yuanyuan, not wanting to disturb Yan Shiting's work.
But just as he reached out his hand, he heard Yan Shiting's deep voice, "Yuanyuan is heavy now, you should rest a bit more before holding him."
After such a long nap, Yu Li's limbs would be a bit weak, and holding the almost 20-pound baby would be more tiring.
Yu Li nodded, withdrawing his hand and sitting down next to Yan Shiting.
Soon, the milk bottle in Yuanyuan's hand was empty.
Yan Shiting skillfully lifted him up, gently patting his back to burp him.
As soon as his hand touched Yuanyuan's back, a burp was heard.
Yu Li chuckled, reaching out to wipe the milk residue and drool from Yuanyuan's face.
It wasn't long before it was 5 p.m.
Yan Shiting stood up, with one hand holding Yuanyuan and the other holding Yu Li's hand, leaving the office.
***
After the evening wash-up, Yu Li finished blow-drying his hair and suddenly asked, "Next week is Yuanyuan's first birthday. Have Mr. Lu and Mr. Xu come back?"
Soon after attending their wedding, Mr. Lu and Mr. Xu had gone traveling again.
Before leaving, they had said they would come back for Yuanyuan's first birthday party.
Yan Shiting finished changing Yuanyuan into a soft pajama, and hearing this, he walked over and stroked Yu Li's hair, "Their trip has ended, and they will stay in the city for a long time afterwards."
The just-dried hair still had a warm feeling, and Yan Shiting couldn't stop petting it.
He asked, "After Yuanyuan's birthday, it will be time for our honeymoon. Little fish, is there anywhere you'd really like to go?"
Yu Li naturally leaned against Yan Shiting, thinking for a moment, "Anywhere is fine."
As long as it was with Yan Shiting, he would be happy anywhere.
Yan Shiting lowered his gaze, intuitively understanding his thoughts.
How could he be any different?
The couple cuddled for a while, then heard Yuanyuan call out "Ya ya" a few times.
Yu Li turned his head to see Yuanyuan holding the crib railing and standing, his eyes shining as he stared at them.
Yu Li chuckled, "Brother, it's time to tell Yuanyuan a story."
Every night before bed, either he or Yan Shiting would tell Yuanyuan a story. Over time, Yuanyuan had formed this habit.
Yan Shiting nodded, leaned down to kiss him, and walked to the crib with a book.
Seeing this, Yuanyuan happily laughed, "Ya ya" a few more times, holding the railing and slowly sitting down on the crib, then not forgetting to pull the little blanket.
Yan Shiting adjusted Yuanyuan's messy little blanket, his low voice gradually starting to tell today's story, "The Three Little Pigs."
Yu Li also lay down on the bed, and even though he had slept for a while in the afternoon, now listening to Yan Shiting's voice, he gradually fell asleep.
The story was soon over, and the people on the big bed and small bed were all breathing evenly.
Yan Shiting put down the book, walked to the bedside, and leaned down to kiss Yu Li's face, "Good night."
Glancing at the little bed beside him, Yuanyuan had his little fists tucked by his face, sleeping soundly.
He then leaned down and kissed Yuanyuan, "Good night to you too."
He then turned off the room light.
