Ling Qing smiled and said, “Have you seen the baby? It’s a little boy, very small and wrinkled. I don’t know if he will look like you when he grows up.”
Yu Chen knew that he had always hoped that the child would look like him, but he actually hoped that the child would look like Ling Qing more, so he said gently, “It’s good to look like you.”
Ling Qing was unwilling, “I look different now than I did before. Our child is destined to never look like the real me, so it would be best if he looks like you. Besides, you are so beautiful, it would be a pity if he doesn’t look like you.”
Yu Chen had no choice but to say, “Okay then, I hope the baby will look like me when he grows up.”
“Yeah.”
Ling Qing was a little tired after all. So after talking to Yu Chen for a while, he wanted to sleep.
Yu Chen held his hand, watched him close his eyes and slowly fall asleep, then silently and full if cherishment, kissed his forehead.
A week later, Ling Qing and his son were officially discharged from the hospital and returned home.
Little Ling Yuning opened his big round eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment.
Ling Qing kissed him and carried him into his and Yu Chen’s bedroom.
Both families had no objection to the child following Ling Qing’s surname.
This was something Ling Qing and Yu Chen had discussed long ago. Yu Chen felt that it was right, after all, it was Ling Qing who had gone through the hardship of the pregnancy. Ling Qing also felt that it was right, especially since he wanted the baby to look like Yu Chen, have his last name, and look like Yu Chen, so one could tell at a glance that it was their child, which was quite sweet just thinking about it.
For this reason, Ling Qing spent a lot of time thinking about the name, from “Ling Yuning” to “Ling Yu Ning” to “Ling Yuning” and finally to “Ling Yuning”[1].
He and Yu Chen had discussed and decided on the name “Ning” very early on. Firstly, the child had to be so well-behaved and always peaceful; secondly, the word Ning was not gender-specific and could be used for both boys and girls.
“Ling Ning.” Yu Chen said.
Ling Qing smiled and said, “Some people will definitely find it difficult to pronounce and may accidentally read it as Ling Ling.”
“That’s cute too,” said Yu Chen.
“You can add the word ‘yu’.” Ling Qing said, “Add yu in, Ling Yuning.”
“If you’re willing, I’d certainly prefer it.” Yu Chen said, “Then our family of three will be together.”
Ling Qing thought his interpretation was very heartwarming, so he started to add the word ‘yu’ in the middle, and after a long time he finally chose the yu for feather.
“I’m afraid that he will become restless and be bullied in the future, so I’ll use the ‘Yu’ from Xiang Yu. It has higher martial arts value and can be static or dynamic and can advance or retreat.”
Yu Chen looked at him and said sincerely, “Excuse me, but you underestimate yourself. With a father like you, you can’t raise him to have a character that is easily bullied.”
Ling Qing thought for five seconds and agreed, “That seems so.”
But the baby’s name was decided like this. They both liked it, so naturally the two parents had no objections.
The night Ling Qing returned home, Mother Yu followed him. She had moved back to City X to take care of Ling Qing for the past six months. Now that she heard that Ling Qing had been discharged from the hospital, she couldn’t sit still and prepared to take care of Ling Qing during his confinement as well.
Ling Qing was taken care of by her for a long time during her pregnancy, and the two got along well, so he did not refuse. He just secretly said to Mother Yu, “Mom, I feel that I am in very good health now. I am not feeling uncomfortable. I can even visit Huashan at night. So you don’t have to be too worried about me, and you don’t have to treat me like a girl.”
Mother Yu looked at him in surprise and asked him several questions in a low voice, but Ling Qing shook his head every time.
Mother Yu asked in surprise, “Your case is really rare. Although it was easy for me to give birth to Xiao Chen, I didn’t recover as quickly as you did. I also didn’t have any after-effects like you. Is it so magical for all you men to get pregnant?”
Ling Qing didn’t know either. He hadn’t seen a second pregnant man. He just thought he was magical.
But, it was magical in itself for a man to have a child, so it was normal for him to do this.
Seeing that he really had no postpartum sequelae and did not show any signs of weakness, Mother Yu gradually felt relieved. She took care of him for a month, and when she saw that he was full of energy, she left with peace of mind.
She was a very open-minded mother-in-law, so she also knew that most married couples did not want to live with their parents. Mother Yu understood this. After all, when she was young, she also did not want to live with her mother-in-law.
At the end of January, as the year drew to a close, the entertainment industry’s year-end ceremonies began to emerge one after another.
Although Ling Qing had not been active in the past six months, he had been updating his Weibo. Fans knew that he wanted to calm down, read more books, and at the same time be careful about his reputation and wait for a good script, so they did not make a fuss with the company. They just thought that he was very responsible for his career and had high standards and strict requirements.
Of course, there were also some haters who jumped out to scold him for being pretentious, saying that no crew wanted to use him, so he was just picking his feet at home.
However, he was scolded back mercilessly by fans, “Are you blind? He is very popular now. A few days ago, a crew wanted to invite him but was rejected. As a result, it became no crew wanted to hire him when it came to you. Is it wrong for our brother to cherish his reputation?!”
“That’s right. If no crew wanted to hire him, then many actors in the entertainment industry would have been unemployed long ago.”
Ling Qing knew that his popularity was still there, so he was not in a hurry to accept the notice. However, what he didn’t expect was that an unexpected news made him enter the public eye again after disappearing for half a year.
