"Second brother, Second sister-in-law fainted. She must have been frightened by those two villains."

"Xiaotang, how are you, are you okay?"

When Zhou Xingze learned that such a thrilling thing had happened at home, he rushed to the police station without stopping after the meeting.

When he thought he would see Xiaotang, his colleagues at the police station informed him that Xiaotang had fainted and had been rushed to a nearby hospital.

Zhou Xingze stood outside the ward anxiously, looking inside through the glass. Xiaotang was lying quietly on the hospital bed, her exposed little face was paler than the white quilt covering her body.

His eyes turned red with heartache, and he clenched his fists, not caring anything else and pushed the door open to rush in.

"Go stand outside. Who are you to the patient?"

A round-faced female doctor in a white coat walked out of the ward with a serious face.

He spoke in a very aggressive tone.

Zhou Xingze replied hastily, "I am her lover. May I ask what is wrong with her body and why she is still not awake?"

I've seen carelessness, but I've never seen anyone who doesn't care about his wife so much.

The round-faced female doctor glanced at the military rank on his shoulder. No matter what rank he held in the army, everyone was equal in this hospital.

With her hands in her pockets and a serious face, she looked at him. As a mother herself, she couldn't help but teach him a lesson, "How can you be someone's husband? You didn't even know that your wife was pregnant. Even if you are busy in the army, you can't ignore your wife..."

"My wife is pregnant, doctor, is this true?"

Zhou Xingze excitedly pulled the doctor's hand and interrupted the doctor in a loud voice.

"This is a hospital, please keep quiet."

The female doctor shook off his large, clamp-like hands.

"Doctor, my wife and children are fine."

Zhou Xingze's heart, which had just sunk to the bottom of the valley, was instantly pulled out and saw the light of day again when he heard that Xiaotang was pregnant.

I was so happy, excited and surprised that I felt like I was floating.

"Comrade, you are lucky. Your wife and children are safe and healthy."

"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor. Can I come in now?"

Men who become fathers for the first time are like fools who can't find their way. The female doctor saw that he was so excited that his hands were shaking, and his eyes were full of worry for his wife. Finally, she softened her heart, shook her head helplessly, and let him into the ward.

Meimei leaned against the wall in the corridor. When she heard that her second sister-in-law was pregnant, she felt indescribable sadness in her heart.

She was truly happy for her second sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

But why do I feel so uncomfortable in my heart?

Meimei lowered her head and rubbed her belly.

When will this uncooperative belly of mine be able to conceive a baby?

In the ward.

Zhou Xingze sat on the stool, feeling mixed emotions. He held Xiaotang's cool little hands tightly with his warm hands.

His flushed eyes stared motionlessly at her bloodless little face.

My heart feels like it's been pulled apart and is aching slightly.

With a trembling voice, he called her softly, "Xiaotang, wake up. I'll take you home and make you something delicious."

The person on the bed seemed to hear it.

The beautiful willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

The thick long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The bloodless lips moved slowly.

With his head tilted to one side, he spoke weakly, "Why are you still crying? It's really embarrassing."

"You're awake, it's okay now, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

When Zhou Xingze heard Xiaotang's voice, he quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Her face was filled with a smile after crying with joy.

His broad palm caressed her face.

Smiling gently.

"I'm thirsty and want to drink some water."

"good."

He bent down, picked up the thermos placed at the foot of the wall, and poured it into the white teacup.

With his other hand he picked up an empty teacup and poured boiling hot water back and forth between the two teacups.

Zhou Xingze tested the water temperature with his lips and said, "Drink it, the temperature is just right."

With one arm he lifted Ruan Xiaotang up, while with the other hand he held the teacup and handed it to her mouth.

"Why am I in the hospital?"

A hint of color returned to Ruan Xiaotang's face.

She leaned blankly in Zhou Xingze's arms.

She only remembered that after she finished taking the statement in the police station and was about to walk out of the door, she felt dizzy and fainted from exhaustion. She later woke up in this ward.

She had no idea who sent her to the hospital or how she got there.

Smelling the pungent smell of disinfectant in the ward, he frowned and covered his mouth and nose.

Zhou Xingze rested his chin on the top of her head, and with the joy of being a father for the first time, he said, "You, here, you have it."

His two palms gently drew circles on her belly.

"What? I'm pregnant?"

Ruan Xiaotang raised her face in surprise and stared at him with a pair of frightened eyes.

The voices were filled with great excitement.

"You are already a mother, please don't scare my daughter with your sudden movements. What should I do?"

"How can you be so sure that I'm pregnant with a girl?"

Ruan Xiaotang excitedly raised her hand and touched her lower abdomen.

It's incredible that there is a little life growing in her belly.

The fruit of her and Zhou Xingze’s love.

Zhou Xingze smiled gently, and wrapped her small hands with his warm and firm hands, covering her lower abdomen.

Enjoying this warm moment of becoming parents for the first time.

"Congratulations, second brother. You're going to be a father. Xiaotang, how are you feeling? Do you feel like vomiting? I bought you a few bunches of grapes and some cantaloupe."

"Sister-in-law, Xiaotang is fine now. Why are you here in the dark?"

Zhou Xingze took the fruit from the net bag with both hands and put it on the cabinet.

He poured another cup of hot water and handed it to his sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law sat beside the bed, looking at Ruan Xiaotang carefully.

With a kind smile on her face, "Sister Ma rushed into our house and told our mother the news that you fainted and were pregnant. When our mother heard the news, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She insisted on coming to the hospital herself. Jingjing and I took turns to persuade her, and she finally felt relieved. So I came to visit you on behalf of our family."

Zhou Xingze asked, "Mom, are you okay?"

The eldest sister-in-law replied, "When my mother heard that your wife was pregnant, she was so happy that she couldn't think straight. I haven't seen my mother as happy as she is today for several years."

Ruan Xiaotang was a little flattered.

Is the old lady so happy?

Still lost?

Her mother was right, families like theirs have more conservative ideas.

To put it bluntly, it means favoring boys over girls.

If she had given birth to a boy, it would have been just what she wanted.

If she gave birth to a girl, would she also look down on the child and find fault with everything?

Ruan Xiaotang suddenly felt that this pregnancy was more of a surprise than a joy.

She is now inexplicably anxious.
