Just Graduated, the Aloof School Flower Brought the Baby to the Door?-Chapter 47 - You and Me, Thats Us
Chapter 47: You and I, We Are Together
“Mom, it’s not about the money. You know how Yaoyao is.”
“I think we should give Yaoyao some time to adjust.”
Lin Yang explained patiently.
It was much easier to talk to his mother-in-law about this.
After all, they knew Shu Mengyao’s situation better than anyone.
“But don’t worry, I’ll help Yaoyao get used to it. In the future, I’ll give her a grand wedding.”

Lin Yang spoke seriously, as if making a promise.
“Well, you young people have your own choices.”
“Then I’ll keep the guest list small. What matters most is Yaoyao’s happiness.”
As parents, they always wanted the best for their daughter.
Even though they had hoped to introduce their two babies to everyone, Shu’s mother eventually relented.
With both families’ arrangements settled, Lin Yang finally let out a sigh of relief.
As for the wedding, it would have to wait a little longer.
The babies were still too young.
At the very least, they should be able to walk and be flower children at the wedding.
When that time comes, he will make sure to give her the grand wedding she deserves.
For now, the most important thing was the full-month banquet for the babies.
While cooking, Lin Yang was also thinking about the event.
Everything was already set; the only thing left was to invite their friends.
Both sets of parents had already finalized their guest lists.
They had gone over them again and again, trimming them down to the essentials.
But in the end, there were only a few spots left for their own friends.
“Yaoyao, is there anyone you’d like to invite to the babies’ full-month banquet?”
At the dinner table, Lin Yang asked Shu Mengyao.
From what he remembered, Shu Mengyao didn’t seem to have many friends.
Since they got married, Lin Yang’s friends and his university advisor had all visited.
But on Shu Mengyao’s side, aside from her parents, no one had ever come.
“I want to invite someone—my best friend, Yu Huan.”
Shu Mengyao put down her chopsticks and spoke seriously.
“Of course! I was planning to invite Wang Chao and our advisor as well.”
“I might also call over my two dorm mates.”
Lin Yang responded with a smile.
Since they weren’t planning to host a large gathering, they would only invite close friends.
There was no need for anything beyond that.
When he heard that Shu Mengyao wanted to invite someone, Lin Yang was a bit surprised.
He hadn’t expected Yaoyao to have a friend.
...
After dinner, Shu Mengyao and Lin Yang sat on the play mat in the babies’ room.
The twins had just been fed and were sleeping soundly.
Even in their sleep, little Xingxing’s tiny hands reached into the air, as if trying to grasp something.
The family’s cat, Yaoling, had somehow also snuck onto the play mat, curling up comfortably beside Lin Yang.
“Lin Yang, can I go to the store with you tomorrow?”
“We need to pick out outfits for the babies’ full-month banquet, right?”
Shu Mengyao turned to him with an eager look.
She had wanted to visit for a long time, but because she had been in postpartum confinement, she hadn’t been able to.
The store was something that belonged to Lin Yang, and she wanted to know more about his world.
Now that the babies’ banquet was approaching, and it had already been 20 days since she gave birth, she thought it should be okay.
“Of course, I’ll take you there tomorrow.”
“Really?”
Even though she was the one who asked, she suddenly felt nervous when he agreed.
“Of course. Let’s get to bed early tonight.”
“I’ll take you there tomorrow.”
Lin Yang nodded again.
Hearing this, Shu Mengyao didn’t even feel like watching TV anymore.
She lay down on the play mat, pulled a light summer blanket over herself, and curled up beside Lin Yang.
Before long, her breathing became soft and even.
Lin Yang knew she had fallen asleep.
He stayed beside the babies, gently coaxing them.
The twins had already grown used to their father’s bedtime stories.
They wouldn’t fall asleep without them.
As Lin Yang told his quiet bedtime stories, Shu Mengyao’s sleep became even more peaceful.
...
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed through gaps in the blue sky and clouds, casting a warm glow over the busy streets.
The glass facades of tall buildings reflected dazzling light, making the whole city seem to sparkle.
Shu Mengyao woke up to the brightness, stretching lazily.
When she turned her head, she saw Lin Yang packing.
She was startled and instantly wide awake.
“Lin Yang, where are you going?”
She didn’t even have time to put on her slippers.
Barefoot, she rushed across the cool marble floor to his side, eyes filled with nervousness and fear.
“Are you leaving me?”
“Are you going to abandon me too?”
Her body trembled slightly.
Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears.
She grabbed Lin Yang’s arm tightly, using all her strength.
At that moment,
she was terrified.
Terrified of being left behind.
Terrified of being alone again.
Terrified that the small happiness she had just found would vanish into darkness.
“Silly girl.”
“We’re moving, that’s all.”
“It’s us, not just me.”
Lin Yang immediately put down his suitcase, taking her hands into his.
He pulled her into his embrace, whispering gently.
“Don’t cry. If the babies see you, they’ll think I’m bullying their mom.”
As he spoke, he carefully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“You’re not leaving me?”
Shu Mengyao’s body was still shaking from her sobs.
She hadn’t recovered from the panic.
“Why would you think that?”
Lin Yang hadn’t expected his small action to upset her so much.
His heart ached for her.
And he was curious.
She had always been socially anxious.
But her parents weren’t like that at all.
So, there must have been a reason for it.
He had never asked, wanting to respect her privacy.
Whenever she was ready, he would listen.
“Lin Yang...”
“Have I ever told you?”
“When I was little, my parents were always busy with work.”
“I was always with the nanny.”
Shu Mengyao’s voice was distant, like an echo from the past.
“Yes, I know.”
Lin Yang nodded, waiting for her to continue.
“My classmates thought my nanny was my mom. They assumed I didn’t have a dad.”
“They bullied me at school.”
“I wished so badly that my parents would come home and take me to school.”
“But they were always too busy.”
“Every time I woke up, they were already packing to leave again.”
Her gaze drifted off into the distance, her voice barely above a whisper.
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
“They excluded me, made fun of me.”
“After that, I stopped trying to make friends. I only had Huanhuan.”
She had never spoken about these painful memories before.
Not even to her parents.
The things she had endured had turned her into a socially anxious person.
Children’s thoughtless teasing, or deliberate exclusion, had left a wound deep inside her.
So when she saw Lin Yang packing his things,
her first thought was that he was leaving too.
And for a moment,
her childhood fears came rushing back, nearly overwhelming her.
