Shiyu opened her mouth in surprise after hearing this. Although it was similar to what she had guessed, she hadn't expected it to be true. But what she didn't expect was that Xuehui would say it so bluntly.

"So...aren't you regretting it at all?" Shiyu blinked and asked Yuki.

"What's there to regret?" With a smile, Xuehui reached out and pulled Shiyu onto his lap, sniffing the faint scent of perfume on the girl and rubbing against her vigorously.

"I'm doing so well now, my company is huge, I have so many beautiful women at home, and my baby is due in two months. I'm a total winner in life, what do I have to regret? It's really time to settle down. It's just that I feel like this isn't very good for Saeko-nee. Although I've been avoiding this issue, I really can't find a better way." As he spoke, Yukihira sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Alright, alright, don't be upset anymore, let me pat your head." Shiyu could tell that Xuehui was also feeling a little down, but he had really made up his mind.

Furthermore, she understood what Yukiteru said and could somewhat empathize with Saeko Busujima's feelings. She herself had almost faced the same situation as Saeko Busujima, but thankfully, the ending was better.

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, and neither is Saeko-nee. There's a saying that time heals all wounds, and I hope that really works." With a smile, Yuki stopped discussing the topic and started chatting with Shiho and Shizuka-nee about other things to adjust her mood.

Although Saeko Busujima's affair caused some ripples, Yukiteru quickly shifted his attention away from it thanks to everyone's adjustment at home.

Busy with work, going to school, and visiting home.

Two months passed quickly.

Summer vacation had just ended and the new semester had just begun a few days earlier when Xuehui took a full leave of absence to accompany her older sister Xiaojing in preparing for childbirth.

And that day finally arrived.

Outside the delivery room, Yukiteru was surrounded by Haruno, Yukino, Hajime, and Eriri. Although she knew there wouldn't be any problems, Yukiteru's hands, clasped together, still trembled slightly as she sat in the chair.

A pair of hands were placed in his. He looked up and saw Yukino half-squatting in front of him, holding his hands and asking, "Nervous?"

"Although I know it will be fine, it's my first time doing it, so how could I not be nervous?"

Taking a deep breath, Yukiteru put on a smiling face and looked at Yukino.

"...Your smile is really ugly right now." Looking at Yukiteru's forced smile, Yukino smiled wryly.

"Even if it's true, please don't say it out loud, my dear. I have a bit of a stomachache right now."

Xuehui's words lightened the atmosphere, as seeing Xuehui in this state was a rare opportunity.

Just then, a series of footsteps approached, and everyone turned to see two groups of people walking towards the delivery room. On one side was Ryougi Shiki, accompanied by Ryougi Mina, Saeko Busujima, and Yomi Isayama. On the other side was Shizuka's mother, Yukiteru's cousin.

Although I knew we would all come, I didn't expect that we would arrive at the same time by such a coincidence.

Upon approaching Xuehui, both elders asked simultaneously, "How is the situation?"

Standing up, Xuehui said directly, "We've had many checkups before, and the doctor said that with Sister Jing's health, there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong."

"That's good." Xiaojing's mother nodded, glanced at Yukino and the others beside Xuehui, and didn't say anything more. She simply went to the side and waited quietly.

Ryougi Shiki didn't say much, but glanced at the silent Saeko Busujima, then pulled her and Yomi Isayama aside as well.

Yukiteru glanced at it and knew that Ryougi Shiki was a little angry about his dealings with Saeko Busujima, and it wasn't for any other reason. He smiled wryly and scratched his cheek.

Fortunately, Ryougi Mina didn't follow them. Instead, she came up, grabbed Xuehui's arm, and asked curiously, "Brother Xuehui, when will the little sister come out?"

"Emmm~ We'll have to wait a little longer. Just wait patiently, and you'll see her as soon as possible." Yuki said with a smile, patting Mina's head.

"Oh, okay, then I'll just wait with Yukiteru-nii." Ryougi Mina also vaguely knew a little about the relationship between Yukiteru and Saeko Busujima, but the clever girl didn't say anything and just obediently stayed with Yukiteru.

Half an hour later, the lights outside the delivery room finally went out. Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the doorway.

Soon, the door opened, and a hospital bed was pushed out by the nurse. Sister Xiaojing was lying on the bed, holding a swaddled baby in her arms, covered in sweat.

When she saw Xuehui and everyone else, a happy smile appeared on her face.

------------

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

The Hiratsuka family remains the same; they haven't moved. However, the house opposite their original residence has been completely renovated and put to use.

It's the weekend, 9 a.m.

The bedroom door opened, and Xuehui, sporting a bird's nest hairstyle, yawned and walked out looking completely unrefined.

"Ugh, I can't even get a proper night's sleep on the weekend. It's so frustrating. I also have to take my little girl to her teacher for her first birthday talent check. Is it really necessary to do it so early?"

While complaining, Xuehui went into the bathroom to wash up.

A year has passed, and the people and things around me haven't changed much. The only change is that Xuehui's fact that he has five concubines has been discovered.

At the time, it did cause a huge uproar. The public's shock and doubts troubled Xuehui for several days.

However, the problems came and went quickly. Soon, these doubts were overshadowed by a series of other major news stories, such as space news, the World Cup, and someone's infidelity. There are plenty of big news stories every day, and the public's attention is limited. Not to mention, Xuehui has had very few opportunities to appear in public these days, and after some minor maneuvering, he was quickly lost in the sea of ​​fresh gossip.

After washing up, Xuehui came out of the bathroom and went downstairs. After looking around, she didn't see Sister Xiaojing or the others.

So, she turned to the long-haired black girl who was holding a baby in the living room and asked, "Yui, where are Sister Jing and the others?"

"Ah, Dad." The girl turned her head and looked at Yukihiro happily, "Shizuka's mom and the others are exercising next door, and Yukino's mom and Utaha's mom are also joining in the fun. They'll be done in about ten minutes."

"I see." Nodding, Yuki walked over and sat down next to Yui, kissing the little baby who smiled when she saw Yuki get down. "Rin-chan, did you have fun playing with me?"

"Ah, Dad... Dad..." The baby looked at Xuehui, excitedly reaching out and waving at him. Xuehui smiled and took the child from Yui's hands.

This baby is the child that Sister Jing gave birth to a year ago. The name is Lin. At that time, everyone thought of many nice names together and then decided on the name by drawing lots.

Meanwhile, Yui, who was helping to take care of the child, was the AI ​​Yui developed a year ago. After combining some advanced technologies from the inside, especially with the help of several big shots in Gensokyo, a suitable body was finally created, and then Yui's main body was transferred into it, becoming a true AI with a physical body, that is, the second child in the family.

Holding her child, Xuehui sighed and said, "Time really flies; a year has passed in the blink of an eye."

"Hehehe, it's only been a year! Yukino and Utaha's baby will be born in another six months, so Dad will be even busier from now on!" Yui smiled and was very satisfied with the past year.

"Indeed, but isn't this kind of life really great? Let's go watch them exercise, and then we'll go out together later. We have a long future ahead of us."

Holding her baby and with Yui by her side, Xuehui walked idly to the next room with a happy yet troubled smile on her face.
