It was around summer when Song Xuantin gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.
Gu Zhen had practiced holding a baby for almost a year, so when he took his daughter in his arms, he was already skillful. Yet, his arms were still trembling and his heart was tense.
The baby was all wrinkled and red, but in Gu Zhen's eyes, she was the most beautiful baby in the world.
"...Cindy." A hoarse voice sounded below him.
Song Xuantin was lying on the hospital bed weakly. But her eyes were so bright and happy. "Let me see Cindy."
Gu Zhen sat carefully. "Here she is. Our baby girl."
Song Xuantin's eyes teared up as she lightly brushed her finger to her baby's cheeks. "She looked a lot like you."
"Really? I think she looked a lot more than you. You two are both beautiful."
The nurse who was waiting at the side: "..."
The baby's features were not fully developed yet, how can these people tell?
Well, that's how parents are.
"You have done a good job. Giving birth to our beautiful daughter, you are the best wife." Gu Zhen kissed Song Xuantin's forehead.
Although this man was not talkative and not sociable to others, towards his wife his mouth was sweet.
Song Xuantin savors Gu Zhen's pampering.
All the waiting and hard work of the past long years to seduce this unsociable man was worth it.
She could still remember how they first met and how she fall in love with this man.
*****
Seventeen years ago.
In a private elementary school, several kids were playing in a room filled with toys.
There was a parental meeting between the teachers and parents in the conference room, so the children has free time to play in the playroom while waiting for the meeting to end. These were the best moment for these children. They could play 'till the bell rang!
These nine-year-olds were very enthusiastic and had already formed their own groups.
The outgoing ones were in a large group running around and laughing.
The delicate girls were playing with a dollhouse in a circle. While some were scattered in threes or twos.
But there were two children who were completely alone.
One was a small boy who was seating in the corner with his head buried in his tablet. The other was a chubby girl watching around with her curious eyes.
Song Xuantin was seating on a bench with her chubby neck expanded as she watched the group of girls play with the dollhouse. She also wants to join but she was big and fat and the girls don't want her to squeeze in. So she could only watch from this distance.
One of the girls felt her stare, she turned around and saw her eagerly looking in their direction. The little girl's face showed disgust and turned around again. Then she murmured to her friends, "That fatty is looking at us again."
All the girls in her circle turned around and looked at Song Xuantin.
Song Xuantin was caught and shrunk her neck. She looked everywhere and took the nearest book to pretend she was reading and not looking at all. However, she did not notice the book was turned upside down by her.
The group of girls laughed at her clumsy appearance and talked to each other again.
"Look at her pretending."
"She's been watching us. I think she wants to join us."
"I don't want to play with her. If the boys saw us playing with the fatty, they might not like us."
"Yeah. She is ugly. I don't want to play with her."
Their whispers were not small. It all reached Song Xuantin's ears.
Song Xuantin did not put down the book and covered her face. She was crying.
She was not ugly. She was very beautiful in the past. She is just...a bit fat.
Wasn't she the most admired child star when she was six years old? The other adults even praised her that she got her mother's beauty and her father's best features. She also inherited her parent's talents.
In the past, Song Xuantin was very famous. Her parents were both reputable actors and her father was even on the road to becoming a director. Because of this, she was in the spotlight ever since she was born.
She really got the beauty of her parents. As a beautiful child, she got many offers to be a star as soon as she could walk. She also wants to become her parents so she agreed to walk in the path of showbiz.
She started modeling for some famous children's brands. And then acted in some movies and films.
Her pretty face was very known. She was loved and adored by everyone at a young age.
However, being a star was difficult.
If her grandparents did not strongly disagree with her parents for her to be homeschooled, she would not be able to come to school and experience what other children do on the daily basis.
Unlike other children, she was always on a strict diet and can't eat anything she wants. She often missed school. Although she has many friends, she can't play with them for a long time. She can't also go outside without anyone bothering her.
As a six-year-old child, being restrained and watched was tiring in both mind and soul.
Song Xuantin wants to play and lived unrestrained like normal children. When she voiced her thoughts, her grandparents convinced her parents to finally let her withdraw from entertainment.
So she started to play to her heart's content. She eats what she couldn't before and plays outside with her friends all day. It was the best time of her childhood.
She thought she could live like this happily.
