  • by Christopher Brown Being a parent puts one into a whole new world of perspective. It makes everything else disappear or feel not-so-worthy anymore. Holding a tiny baby in your arms is a life-changing experience. A child couldn’t possibly understand the feeling of a parent when they first look at their own child. It comes with a piercing vulnerability and self-doubt. It’s sublime and terrifying. It’s terrifying to know that you made that tiny being in your hand and yet you don’t know whether you’ll be able to…
  • by Christopher Brown Even after waiting for an hour, they were told, "She’s only five centimeters dilated and 80% effaced." "She’s in pain. Give her the epidural (injection to reduce the contraction pain) already before her husband murders me." Seeing Yang Ziyi in a cute Onesie, it was really difficult for the female doctor to keep her face straight. But she knew how to be professional. "Dr. Yang, she doesn’t want medications. Also, we need to wait until she is 10 centimeters dilated and 100% effaced. I don’t…
  • by Christopher Brown "What game do you want to play?" Jun Li Na immediately got interested. "Monopoly!" Azalea spoke immediately. Jun Li Na's smile stiffened as she glared at her. "Meymey hates monopoly." "Ha? Why?" Azalea turned to Xu Mey with a confused face. "Friendship is questioned when money is involved. And I for one, become a vicious person in monopoly. Let's not ruin this happy time." Everyone laughed at Xu Mey's words while Azalea couldn't find a way to retort at all. "Also, I don't want my little bun to…
  • by Christopher Brown "Ah-Jie, stop being stubborn. Your meeting in Capital is very important. You should go." Xu Mey had been trying to convince Jie for the past couple of hours who had for once decided to act stubborn and not listen to her at all. "I can’t leave you alone in this period," Jie was also insistent since he didn’t have the heart to leave his pregnant wife alone. Especially, when she was already two weeks late. It had been worrying him a lot now. "Why are you not understanding? I’ve called Li Na and…
  • by Christopher Brown It took them twenty minutes to get to the hospital while breaking plenty of traffic rules but at this point, Jie didn’t care at all. He had given his permission to the driver since all that mattered to him was Xu Mey and her safety. While Xu Mey was pushed inside the hospital room, Jie had to wait outside. He was pacing back and forth anxiously while trying to peek inside the room. He couldn’t hear a single thing from inside and it made him even more apprehensive and jittery. Soon, the doctor…
  • by Christopher Brown Time trickles by before we even know it. It’s a never-ending cycle that goes on and on. Life in itself is just a cycle of time. It has everything... From series of meetings to departures. From the discovery of friendship to losing it. From a precious time to how we wasted it away. Most of all, life is a memory of those shed tears that once fell like droplets of rain but soon dried up leaving behind just a trail of bittersweet, foggy, broken and yet beautiful memories. With her head laying on his…
  • by Christopher Brown Just as Xiamu had predicted, how could Jie stay calm knowing his wife wasn’t planning on coming back home? Jie showed up at Xu Residence in the middle of the night. "What do you have to say now?" Xiamu gave a sly smile to Xu Mey who was yawning with sleep-filled eyes. "Didn’t I say he’ll come?" Xu Mey didn’t plan on arguing with him at this time and that’s why she went straight to Jie. "Ah-Jie, why are you here?" "I missed you..." He answered plainly while raking his fingers through his…
  • by Christopher Brown Xu Mey wanted to say something but upon thinking, she realized that she really couldn’t force love. It won’t be fair with him or Azalea. Later, she asked him to relate the whole thing in detail and like an obedient little brother, he did so. She smacked his head making him scowl as she said, "Have you lost your mind? If you don’t want to accept her feelings that’s alright but who gave you the right to question her feelings for you?" Xiamu rubbed his head while rolling his eyes at her sudden…
  • by Christopher Brown "Xiao Mey, how come you’re here?" Xu Cheng was surprised to see Xu Mey who came unannounced. Xu Mey was slightly displeased with her father’s reaction. Wasn’t he supposed to be over the moon to see her? "I guess I thought too much, dad is really not happy to see me." She made a sad face. "What nonsense! Why wouldn’t I be happy?" Xu Cheng pulled her in for a hug and stroked her hair lovingly. "Dad loves you a lot and obviously missed you a lot as well. I just didn’t expect to see you…
  • by Christopher Brown Xu Mey was busy drying her hair when Jie walked inside with her breakfast in hands. He placed it all on the table neatly before coming around her to help her. "I could have gone downstairs for breakfast," Xu Mey spoke while he held the hair blower in his hand. "I don’t mind bringing it here." He answered plainly. "You’re making me lazy with all this pampering." Xu Mey pouted as she looked at his reflection in the mirror. Jie kissed the top of her head and said, "My beautiful wife, I love…
