Just Graduated, the Aloof School Flower Brought the Baby to the Door?-Chapter 24 - Shu Mengyao Calls Lin Yang "Husband"
Chapter 24: Shu Mengyao Calls Lin Yang “Husband”
“You two are finally back.”
“Little Xingxing cried for half a day.”
“No matter how we comforted, it didn’t work.”
Lin Yang and Shu Mengyao had just returned home.
Mother Lin rushed over like she had seen her savior.
Even Father Lin looked exhausted.
“Why is Xingxing still crying? Is she hungry?”
Lin Yang and Shu Mengyao felt their hearts sink.
They were afraid the baby was unwell.
“Xingxing had formula milk and even had a diaper change.”
“Xingxing seems fine, but just won’t stop crying.”
“I must be getting old; I can’t even take care of a child.”
Mother Lin blamed herself.
Father Lin held her in his arms and comforted her.
His expression also showed disappointment.
As grandparents, they had wanted to help take care of the child.
But somehow, they had let the baby cry for so long.
It was truly unacceptable.
Mother Lin wanted to call her son for help.
Just then, their son returned.
“Mom, it’s not your fault. Don’t worry.”
“I’ll go check on the baby.”
Although Lin Yang was also worried about the baby, he didn’t want his parents to blame themselves.
He first comforted his parents before hurrying to the baby’s room.
And there babies were.
Yunyun was still lying there, contemplating life while staring at the ceiling.
Meanwhile, Xingxing was wailing loudly.
“What’s wrong with Xingxing? Is there something uncomfortable?”
Lin Yang quickly picked up Xingxing.
At that moment, Shu Mengyao and his parents rushed in.
“If this continues, we should take her to the hospital.”
“It’s not normal for babies to cry like this.”
“Since she’s still so young, she can’t express herself. What if something’s wrong?”
Mother Lin fretted, firing off a series of questions.
Before she could finish speaking, they saw Xingxing lying peacefully in Lin Yang’s arms.
The little hand that had been clenched into a fist had relaxed.
When Lin Yang interacted with her, Xingxing even babbled.
It was as if she was responding.
She looked incredibly adorable.
Completely different from the crying baby from earlier.
“It’s okay; Xingxing is just clingy.”
Lin Yang chuckled.
Xingxing had already shown signs of being attached.
But he hadn’t been away for long.
He hadn’t expected Xingxing to be this clingy.
Not being able to see his dad for a while was unbearable for her.
Perhaps this was the sweet burden of love.
His parents: “???”
Is that all?
Xingxing stopped crying just like that?
So, the reason Xingxing cried earlier was because she couldn’t find her dad?
“As long as the baby is fine.”
“I was worried she might be sick.”
Although Mother Lin felt a bit defeated, knowing the baby was healthy eased her mind.
“Oh, I almost forgot the important part!”
“Yaoyao, even though you haven’t had a wedding, you’re legally married after all.”
“This is our gift for you to address him differently.”
“In the future, you two must live happily.”
“If that boy bullies you, just tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson!”

Mother Lin slapped her forehead.
Suddenly, she remembered this matter.
Before, when they weren’t married, there was no need for a gift or a change in address.
But now it was different.
Even without a wedding ceremony, they were legally husband and wife.
And they couldn’t skimp on what was due.
Lin’s mother took out a thick red envelope and handed it to Shu Mengyao.
Shu Mengyao glanced nervously at Lin Yang, who nodded in approval.
She hesitantly accepted the red envelope.
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“Auntie? It’s time to change your words!”
Mother Lin smiled.
“Thank you, Mom and Dad,” Shu Mengyao said, her cheeks flushed.
Although her voice was not loud, it was still polite.
“My daughter-in-law, the more I see you, the more I like you!”
Mother Lin’s smile never left her face.
“Alright, our purpose for coming this time has been achieved.”
“We have work tomorrow, so we’ll head back.”
Their visit was mainly to see the babies and their daughter-in-law.
Initially, Mother Lin had considered taking time off to help take care of the babies.
But after this incident, she realized her son was better at it than she was.
She felt more reassured now.
“Mom and Dad, let me drop you off at the station.”
“Oh, and take this.”
“It’s a gift from Yaoyao for you both. She was too shy to mention it.”
Knowing his parents had work and couldn’t stay long, Lin Yang didn’t insist on keeping them.
He took out a package of rare Youlan tea leaves, a gift from the system.
Shu Mengyao’s eyes widened when she heard Lin Yang.
“How did Yaoyao know we like tea?”
“But these tea leaves are quite expensive.”
Father Lin’s eyes lit up, eager to accept the gift.
However, Mother Lin slapped his hand away.
“You two still need to take care of the baby. You should save money for essentials. We don’t need it.”
Father Lin looked longingly at the tea leaves, swallowing hard.
Lin Yang noticed everything.
He almost burst out laughing.
“Mom, you know it’s not easy to return something of this value. Besides, it’s Yaoyao’s heartfelt gesture. If you don’t accept it, it’ll be like looking down on both of us.”
He nudged the package toward his father.
This time, it landed directly in his father’s hands.
“What should we do?”
“You juniors shouldn’t spend so extravagantly.”
Father Lin spoke while trying to suppress the smile tugging at his lips.
“That’s fine. But in the future, don’t spend so much.”
Although Mother Lin also thought it was expensive, the fact that her son and daughter-in-law cared for them meant the most to her.
On their way back, she took several photos and shared them in the group chat.
Mother Lin: “Oh dear, my son never listens. I told him not to spend so much, yet he insists on buying things for us.”
Mother Chen: “Wow, Lin Jie, this is Youlan tea, worth over ten thousand! Little Yang has really grown up!”
Mother Zhou: “Lin Jie, where did you find such a great son? If you get a chance, help our child too.”
Mother Lin read the messages with a satisfied expression.
…
Back at Lin Yang’s home, in the baby’s room:
“Husband.”
Shu Mengyao and Lin Yang sat side by side on the play mat.
She suddenly murmured the word.
Her voice was so small that Lin Yang wondered if he had misheard.
He turned to look at Shu Mengyao, who blushed with embarrassment.
Only then did he realize he hadn’t misheard.
The address she had used just now was indeed “husband.”
This girl always managed to surprise him.
“What did you call me just now?”
Lin Yang pretended not to hear.
“Nothing,” Shu Mengyao stammered, quickly averting her gaze.
Her eyes darted around, and her face flushed with shyness.
“You definitely called me, I heard it.”
“Then, why ask me again?”
Shu Mengyao almost buried her head in her hands.
She was genuinely embarrassed.
Doesn’t she have to change how she address him after receiving their marriage certificate?
Lin Yang didn’t never mention this matter.
After hesitating for a long time, she had finally mustered the courage to address him that way once.
Now she was too shy to say it a second time.
“Because it sounds nice, I’d like to hear it again.”
