Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

The knocks on the door became more and more urgent. Chu Mengmeng's heart tightened, and the unfinished words were stuck in her throat. Xiao Yichen held her hand and gave her a soothing look, "Don't be afraid, I'll go take a look."

When he opened the door, he saw his neighbor Aunt Liu standing outside the door in a panic, her face full of anxiety, "Brother Xiao, Sister Xiao, go and have a look, Aunt Zhang's cow has suddenly gone crazy and is running around the street now!"

"What?!" Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng exclaimed in unison. Not daring to delay, they immediately followed Aunt Liu and ran towards the scene of the incident.

Aunt Zhang's family was the only one in the town that raised cattle. The old yellow cow was usually very docile, so why did it suddenly go crazy today? The two were full of doubts and their steps became faster.

When we arrived at the scene, we saw that the originally quiet street was in chaos. The villagers were dodging the rampaging old ox in panic. A few brave young people tried to control it with wooden sticks, but were knocked to the ground by it.

"Get out of the way, let me do it!" Xiao Yichen shouted, pushed through the crowd, and rushed forward. He stared at the old ox with a sharp gaze, and when the time was right, he suddenly put the hemp rope he had prepared in his hand on the ox's head.

The old ox struggled desperately, but could not break free of Xiao Yichen's strong hands, and finally collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, the villagers came forward to help and controlled the old ox.

The storm finally subsided, and the frightened villagers thanked Xiao Yichen and praised him for his bravery and wit. Chu Mengmeng stood aside, looking at the man shining in the crowd, her heart filled with pride and pride.

After returning home, Chu Mengmeng's heartbeat gradually calmed down. She stroked her chest and said with lingering fear: "I was really scared to death, fortunately you are okay."

Xiao Yichen gently held her in his arms and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, everything is over."

"But...why did the old ox suddenly go crazy?" Chu Mengmeng was still a little confused.

"I heard from Aunt Zhang that it seems that the old ox went crazy because it accidentally ate rotten fruit discarded by someone on the roadside this morning."

Chu Mengmeng suddenly realized, and at the same time she felt even more emotional. This is what life is like, full of all kinds of sudden accidents.

At night, the two of them snuggled together, looking at the quiet night outside the window. Chu Mengmeng suddenly remembered what she had not finished saying during the day, and she spoke nervously: "Yi Chen, I... I wanted to say today that I was afraid that my peaceful life would be broken, I was afraid..."

"Are you afraid that we will have a child?" Xiao Yichen interrupted her gently, with a smile in his eyes.

Chu Mengmeng's cheeks flushed instantly. She nodded shyly, then shook her head, "I... I don't know..."

Xiao Yichen hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear, "Silly girl, we are all afraid of the unknown, but we should face it bravely, to embrace new challenges and new life. What do you think?"

Chu Mengmeng looked up at Xiao Yichen, tears flashing in her eyes. She nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, gently falling on the two people hugging each other, as if blessing them, wishing them a happier future. The morning light shone through the window lattice and gently fell into the room. Chu Mengmeng woke up from her sleep, habitually stroking her still flat belly, and a happy smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth. Since she opened her heart to Xiao Yichen that night, the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart disappeared, replaced by infinite expectations for the future.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so happily?" Xiao Yichen walked in with a bowl of steaming chicken noodle soup. Seeing the smile on Chu Mengmeng's face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"I'm wondering what our baby will look like in the future?" Chu Mengmeng took the bowl of noodles and sniffed it gently. The familiar fragrance made her feel extremely at ease.

"I hope he is as smart and cute as you." Xiao Yichen sat on the edge of the bed and touched her hair lovingly.

"That won't do. Being too smart will make things difficult. I hope he can be an upright and kind person like you and live an ordinary life." Chu Mengmeng shook her head and said seriously.

"Silly girl, you have to fight for a simple life by yourself." Xiao Yichen smiled and scratched her nose. "Come, eat the noodles first. I went to the town to buy some books on parenting today. I will come back to teach you later."

"Parenting books? But there are none yet..." Chu Mengmeng suddenly stopped talking halfway, a blush on her cheeks.

Xiao Yichen looked at her shy appearance and couldn't help laughing, "Silly girl, I just want you to learn in advance so that you won't be in a hurry when the time comes."

In the following days, Chu Mengmeng began to seriously learn parenting knowledge, from how to do prenatal education to how to take care of a newborn, she memorized everything. Xiao Yichen accompanied her and answered her questions from time to time, and their relationship deepened unknowingly.

After the residents of the town learned that Chu Mengmeng was pregnant, they sent their blessings and gifts, including hand-sewn baby clothes, fresh fruits and vegetables, and old hens that had been treasured for many years... Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen felt unprecedented warmth. They knew that in this small town, they were no longer alone. They had each other, and they also had the love and support from their neighbors.

And in the process of nurturing a new life, Chu Mengmeng gradually showed the radiance of motherhood. Her smile became more gentle and her eyes became more determined, as if there was an invisible force supporting her and encouraging her to meet all the challenges of the future.

Chu Mengmeng's pregnancy life was peaceful and happy. She was no longer as impetuous as before, but had a little more maternal tenderness. Every morning, she would walk in the yard with Xiao Yichen, breathing the fresh air and feeling the rhythm of life. The sunlight fell on her peaceful face, as if coated with a layer of light golden light, and the smile from the heart also infected everyone around her.

"How do you feel today? Do you feel any discomfort in your stomach?" Xiao Yichen supported Chu Mengmeng carefully, fearing that she might have any accident.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Chu Mengmeng smiled and patted the back of his hand. "Don't be so nervous. I'm not a porcelain doll. How can something go wrong that easily?"

Although she said so, Chu Mengmeng still felt sweet in her heart. Since she became pregnant, Xiao Yichen has become extra careful and caring for her. Not only did he take care of all the housework, he also made delicious food for her in various ways, fearing that she would not get enough nutrition.

“By the way, I saw Carpenter Liu in town recruiting apprentices today. Do you want to go and take a look?” Chu Mengmeng suddenly remembered this and turned to Xiao Yichen and said.

Xiao Yichen was slightly stunned, then he understood what she meant. "You want me to learn some skills so that I can make furniture for our children in the future?"

Chu Mengmeng smiled and nodded, "Yes, you see your shop is doing better and better now, you will definitely be too busy in the future. If you can learn more, maybe you can open a furniture store of your own in the future!"

Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng's expectant eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that everything Chu Mengmeng did was for him and the child, and for this family.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go ask tomorrow." Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand, his eyes full of determination. In order to give Chu Mengmeng and the child a better living environment, he decided to start expanding the store. He believed that as long as they worked hard, their lives would definitely get better and better.

As night fell, the sky was dotted with stars. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen sat side by side under the grape trellis in the yard, looking up at the vast starry sky. The gentle evening breeze brushed across their cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness.

"What do you think our child will look like?" Chu Mengmeng gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, her eyes full of longing.

"I just want him to be healthy and happy." Xiao Yichen gently put his arm around her shoulders, "Nothing else matters."

At this moment, their hearts are full of expectations for the future and yearning for a new life. However, they don't know that the gears of fate have begun to turn. What kind of test will be waiting for them? The night is deep, the stars are shining, and the stone table under the grapevine is covered with a layer of silver gauze. Chu Mengmeng snuggles up to Xiao Yichen, her fingertips gently stroking the bulging belly, where the fruit of their love is being nurtured.

"Who do you think our child will look like?" Chu Mengmeng's voice was soft, with a bit of expectation and longing.

Xiao Yichen gently held her in his arms, his eyes fixed on her peaceful face, as if nothing in the world could compare to the person in front of him. "I just hope he's healthy and happy. As for who he looks like..." He deliberately dragged out his voice, with a hint of ridicule, "As long as he's not as greedy as you, that's fine."

"Hey!" Chu Mengmeng pretended to be angry and hit him lightly, "How can I be greedy? I just like to taste delicious food!"

Xiao Yichen smiled and grabbed her hand, placing it on his lips and kissing it gently. "Yes, yes, my Meng Meng is the cutest, how could she be greedy?" He looked at her lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.

Chu Mengmeng was amused by him and laughed continuously. The sweet atmosphere between them seemed to melt the night.

"What do you think? Where should we take the baby to play after he is born?" Chu Mengmeng leaned on Xiao Yichen's shoulder and began to imagine the beautiful life of their family of three in the future.

"When he's older, we can take him to explore the Misty Forest, go fishing at Silvermoon Lake, and also go..."

Before Xiao Yichen could finish his words, Chu Mengmeng interrupted him excitedly: "We can also try all the delicacies from all over the continent! I want him to become a gourmet since he was a child!"

Xiao Yichen shook his head helplessly. He had experienced his wife's obsession with food countless times. However, as long as she was happy, it was fine.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." He scratched her nose lovingly, "But now you have to be obedient and rest early so that you can accumulate energy for our baby, understand?"

"Got it, Mr. Xiao." Chu Mengmeng blinked mischievously and stood up to go back to her room.

The night wind blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. Xiao Yichen suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, as if something was about to happen. He looked up at the night sky, only to see that the originally twinkling stars were now obscured by a thin layer of dark clouds, appearing somewhat dim and unclear.

"What's wrong?" Chu Mengmeng noticed that something was wrong with him and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm too tired lately." Xiao Yichen shook his head, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, took Chu Mengmeng's hand, and slowly walked towards the room.

However, they didn't know that in a corner of the town, a pair of cold eyes were watching them, flashing with greed and hatred.
