The surging tide pushed his body, wave after wave, wave after wave. He kicked his legs regularly, floated on the water, slowly opening his eyes to see the vast starry sky in front of him. In the face of the boundless universe, human beings seemed particularly small. Gu Mingxi looked at the clear and identifiable Milky Way, like a thin ethereal ribbon, across the entire night sky. He recognized stars after stars according to his memory.

He was born on the Chinese Valentine's Day and has a special relationship with the Milky Way since he was a child.

When he was young, Li Han taught Gu Mingxi to recognize the stars. On both sides of the Milky Way, this one was called Vega Star, and the other one was called Cowherd Star. There were two small stars beside the Cowherd Star, which were the children of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. The Cowherd carried the children with a shoulder pole and walked on the Magpie Bridge to meet the Weaver Girl once a year, so these two small stars were also called Carrying Pole Star.

After Gu Mingxi learned it, he went to his father to offer treasures. After listening to his story, Gu Guoxiang corrected that the so-called Cowherd star is called He Gu 2 in the mouth of scientists, and the two shoulder pole stars are called He Gu 1 and He Gu 3.

"The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is just a myth." Gu Guoxiang touched Gu Mingxi's little head, "Mingxi, you are a boy, you must know how to distinguish between illusion and reality."

How could five-year-old Gu Mingxi distinguish between illusion and reality? It was not until later that he lost his arms that he deeply felt the cruelty of reality.

The warm sea water surrounded Gu Mingxi's body, making him feel as if he was back in his mother's arms.

Thinking of her mother in my heart, she heard her voice in her ears. She called him: "Mingxi, Mingxi..."

Gu Mingxi closed his eyes and replied with a smile: "Mom."

"Mingxi, are you doing well now?" Li Han asked, "Mom misses you very much."

"I'm very good, mom, don't worry." He said, "I'm with Pang Qian, we're married, have you seen it?"

"Mom saw it." Li Han smiled, "My son is so handsome, Qianqian is so beautiful."

She paused for a moment, and her tone became particularly gentle, "Mingxi, you are married and Qianqian will be a family in the future. You must remember what your mother said to you and treat her well. Qianqian is a good girl. Mom believes that you will be happy when you are together."

Gu Mingxi wanted to open his eyes to see her, but was afraid that after opening his eyes, there would be nothing around him. He could only hold back and nodded, still closing his eyes: "Mom, I will not let her down."

"My son is growing up." Li Han smiled softly, "Mingxi, mom is leaving."

He couldn't bear to say: "Mom, can you stay with me for a while?"

Li Han sighed: "Silly child."

The next second, Gu Mingxi felt like he was being hugged into a warm embrace, with his hands wrapped around his body and gently patting his back. He tried his best to press his body against her, like a drowning person, desperately absorbing her body temperature and heat.

"Gu Mingxi, Gu Mingxi."

A familiar voice from a girl came to her ears.

At the beginning, it was a childish voice, gradually turning into a young girl voice, and gradually turning into a crisp girl voice. In the end, her voice soft and glutinous, melting into his ears like honey.

"Gu Mingxi, Gu Mingxi, Gu Mingxi..."

He was in a daze, then felt extremely relieved, and in her arms, he murmured, "They are all gone."

"Who is leaving?"

"My mom, there is another me..."

"Well, we're all gone." She responded to him and kissed his forehead, "You've drunk too much, go to bed early."

Gu Mingxi seemed to be sleeping on the grass. On a summer night, the surroundings were empty, and the breeze blew the grass leaves around him roared. All kinds of unknown insects were singing in the grass. His breath was surrounded by the familiar fragrance of the people around him, as if with the effect of calming his mind. He closed his eyes with satisfaction and fell asleep.

When Gu Mingxi woke up, it was already dawn. The sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains. He opened his eyes in a daze, turned over, and slowly sat up against the head of the bed.

The house was very quiet, no longer the noise of the new house the night before. Gu Mingxi turned his head and looked to the right, with two big red wedding words sticking on the sliding door of the wardrobe. Looking to the left, there were several red trays on Pang Qian's dressing table, full of wedding candies and pastries, and a bouquet of flowers were placed next to it.

He raised his head and looked at the wall above the head of the bed. It was the wedding photo he and Pang Qian had just obtained before National Day. They had white crystal photo frames, and he was wearing a white suit and Pang Qian was snuggling with him in a snow-white wedding dress, and smiled sweetly towards the camera.

Gu Mingxi stared at the wedding dress for a long time, and as he looked, he started to laugh.

He sat on a big red bed with pairs of mandarin ducks embroidered on the red sheets and quilts embroidered with exquisite peonies. Gu Mingxi looked at his newlywed wife, who snuggled beside him, still asleep.

Gu Mingxi got out of bed and realized that his memory seemed to be broken. At the wedding night before, he drank too much, and his final memory was that the group of bastards came to make a new house and ate him again. When he lost consciousness, he seemed to be wearing a shirt and trousers and a tie, but now, he has changed into a comfortable pajamas and his body is clean, obviously he has been cleaned up.

Gu Mingxi walked to the window, used her shoulders and cheeks to pull the curtains, and the dazzling sunlight immediately shone into the room, and the warm light even enveloped the big bed. Pang Qian turned over and woke up. Seeing Gu Mingxi standing by the window, she got out of the bed, walked over barefoot and hugged him from behind.

"Honey, good morning." She pressed her cheek against his back and whispered.

"Good morning." Gu Mingxi still looked out the window, "Wife, the weather is very good today."

He let her hold her for a while, and suddenly felt itchy on the back of her neck. Gu Mingxi turned around and saw Pang Qian holding a white feather in her hand.

The feathers are not small, and there is a thick and hard feather in the middle. Pang Qian smiled and held it in her hand. The soft and soft down floated, which was very interesting.

Gu Mingxi asked: "What is this?"

Pang Qian swept his cheek with her feathers and said, "I don't know either. It was Xiao Yujing who was caught in the red envelope."

Gu Mingxi carefully observed the feather and knew it in his heart.

He remembered an email sent to him by Xiao Yujing before the wedding, which told a story about her childhood. At the end, Xiao Yujing said: Mr. Ostrich, happy wedding.

He suddenly smiled slightly, and Pang Qian was puzzled: "Why are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." He shook his head, then lowered his head and took her lips. Pang Qian pushed him: "I haven't brushed my teeth!"

"I want to make up for the homework I didn't do last night." He bit her ear and said in a mute voice. "I'm really sorry that I'm drinking too much."

Pang Qian looked at him strangely: "You really don't remember anything?"

Gu Mingxi is so innocent: "Do I remember anything?"

Pang Qian silently pulled down the collar of her pajamas, showed him the red kiss marks on her shoulders, and said shyly: "Actually... the homework has been done last night."

Gu Mingxi stayed for a while, and the little flames in his eyes burned again. He kissed her shoulder again and said in a deep voice: "The teacher said that it is best to check the homework you have done again."

“…”

After the National Day holiday, Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi returned to Shanghai. Pang Qian's first-year courses were very heavy and the courses were very tight. Fortunately, Zou Liwen gave her a vaccination in advance, and she could barely deal with this busy study life.

Gu Mingxi was not at all easy. In addition to his studies, he also had to take into account the drawing of picture books. This is his main source of income for Pang Qian in recent years. He painted very carefully and kept communicating with Jiang Qi. He rarely went out on weekends.

Pang Qian knew that he wanted to get a manuscript, so she wouldn't complain. On the weekend afternoon, Gu Mingxi almost sat in the studio. Pang Qian was a little bored and went shopping with Wu Feiyan and Yang Lu.

While the three women were drinking coffee in the cafe, Wu Feiyan asked Pang Qian when she planned to have a child.

Pang Qian was very depressed: "My leader also asked me to give birth to my child during my postgraduate studies. Is this really reliable?"

"It's reliable!" Yang Lu said, "Do you remember? When we were in our junior year, a senior sister was pregnant and graduate school. She went back to recuperate until she was almost nine months pregnant. She rested at home for half a year after the child was born. Later, she heard that she applied for a year to delay graduation. When the child graduated, the child could walk and talk, so she could go directly to find a job!"

"It seems like this is happening, but I want to enjoy the world of two more." Pang Qian pouted, "We just got married."

Yang Lu smiled and said, "You have lived with your husband for a year. Isn't the world of two people enough?"

"Please, what a year? I was busy with exams before June, and after June, I was busy getting married, and I didn't even go on a honeymoon!"

Speaking of honeymoon, the topic immediately changed. Wu Feiyan asked: "Where is planning to go for her honeymoon?"

Pang Qian raised her fingers with a roaring look: "Here, you guys say, Greece, Maldives, Fiji, and Australia, where are the best these four places?"

"I like Maldives!" Yang Lu said, "I must go to Maldives for my honeymoon in the future."

"I have been to the Immortal Coral Island, which is quite good, but I heard that Fiji is also very beautiful and a diving resort." Wu Feiyan asked Pang Qian, "Do you want to go to Greece?"

"Well, I want to go to Greece the most. Last time I went back to the company to organize a European tour, there were those countries in Britain, Italy, France, and there was no Greece." Pang Qian was very regretful, "Gu Mingxi said, we went out for our honeymoon during the Spring Festival. I happened to choose a place in the past few months. Oh, I was excited when I thought about it."

Yang Lu curled her lips: "It's so annoying to show her love. She's talking about it and wants to get married."

Wu Feiyan asked: "By the way, how are you doing with your boyfriend now?"

The topic eventually turned to the man.

Gu Mingxi's new book was finally handed over in mid-January of the following year and completed a lot of work. He slept at home for two days before he recovered. Then Pang Qian was excitedly catching him to watch the travel forum. Before the end of the first semester, he set a honeymoon destination - Fiji.

Pang Qian was very efficient in doing things, so she booked a plane ticket and a hotel quickly. She bought a lot of new clothes and shoes for herself and Gu Mingxi, as well as a few sets of cute couple outfits and beautiful flower and straw hats. She bought underwater camera covers and snorkeling three treasures in a decent manner, and also booked a plane ticket to Sanya for her parents, preparing to let the old couple go to Sanya for a warm Spring Festival.

Pang Qian is in a great mood every day and is in a great mood to spend on the travel forum. Looking at the netizens' guides, she discussed with Gu Mingxi how to play and eat when she went to Fiji. Gu Mingxi heard her call with a few best friends and said happily: "Yes, I'll go on a honeymoon during the Spring Festival. I'll bring you a gift when I go to Fiji!"

Everything is ready, I only need to board the plane, but God played a little joke with them.

The Spring Festival in 2013 was the first Spring Festival after Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi got married. From the 30th to the 3rd day of the Chinese New Year, the family ran around to eat and drink. On the 4th day of the Chinese New Year, Pang Qian sent her parents on a plane and asked them to live on the warm island for half a month.

She and Gu Mingxi set off on the sixth day of the lunar month. On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar month, when Pang Qian was packing her luggage at home, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She went to the toilet and looked suspicious when she came out.

"What's wrong?" Gu Mingxi saw that her face was wrong and hurried over and asked, "Does it feel uncomfortable?"

"No..." Pang Qian opened her mouth and asked, "Do you remember when I came last month's period?"

Gu Mingxi thought for a while and said, "January 7th."

Pang Qian widened her eyes: "How come you remember so clearly?"

"The day I submitted the manuscript, you just finished your period, so..." He smiled gently, "What's wrong? My period is coming? I can't swim for the first few days in Fiji, but I can still get into the water in the next few days."

Pang Qian blinked her eyes: "Gu Mingxi, what day is today?"

He replied: "Today is Valentine's Day, on the 14th, didn't you say yesterday that you asked me to make a big meal for you to eat in the evening?"

"No. 14?" Pang Qian held his cheek and screamed, "Isn't it No. 5 today?! How could it be No. 14?!"

"Today is the fifth day of the 14th day." Gu Mingxi knew that she was having a dizzy New Year, "Pangpang, what's wrong with you?"

"I, I...I..." She turned pale and said stammeringly, "Gu Mingxi, I may... just might, not sure, I...I guess, I'm pregnant."

Gu Mingxi: "..."

Women know their own body very well. Pang Qian's regular period this time was seven days late and she didn't come yet, so she felt that she might have won the prize.

When Gu Mingxi accompanied Pang Qian to the hospital, he kept his face tense, but Pang Qian was worried about whether the next day's journey would be successful. The air tickets could be refunded, but the hotel could not be refunded. That was a lot of money, US dollars!

There were not many people in the hospital during the Spring Festival, and there was an outpatient doctor on duty in the obstetrics department. Pang Qian registered a blood test. An hour later, the doctor told her that she was pregnant, but her progesterone was a little low, so she should pay attention to rest these days.

Pang Qian’s first question is: “Doctor, I’m going to go on my honeymoon tomorrow and have a turnaround. Total of thirteen hours will I fly. Can I still fly?”
