October 1st, National Day, the arrival of twin boys at five in the morning filled the Gao family with joy.
At noon, Xia Xiao was awakened by the cries of the children. By then, Zheng Xianghong, Xia Jing, and Gao Jiazhi had all come in.
"Xia Xiao is awake," Zheng Xianghong announced with a smile on her face. "Jiaxing is back."
Xia Xiao immediately caught Jiaxing's affectionate gaze. Although Zheng Xianghong, Xia Jing, and the two children were there, Xia Xiao couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and the urge to cry.
"I'll take the children out to give them some water," said Zheng Xianghong, picking up one child and handing it to Xia Jing, then carrying the other out.
Xia Xiao: "..." She hadn't even gotten a good look at the children yet.
But by then, Jiaxing had already come to her side. Xia Xiao lowered her eyes and couldn't help but want to cry.
