Chapter 33: Really like it? Then give me a kiss?
In her previous life, due to a misunderstanding, she hated the baby in her belly and didn't even look forward to its birth. After her rebirth, she was filled with guilt towards the baby in her belly.
Huanyu called her "Mom" in the restaurant, which touched Shi Huai's heart. She was looking forward to her baby's safe birth into this world, and how she should take care of him and make up for her previous mistakes.
Before she died in her previous life, she vaguely heard Tang Xiaoling say that it was a baby boy...
Thinking of this, Shi Huai couldn't help but gently stroke her belly. It was only two months old and there was still no movement.
With tenderness and love in her eyes, Shi Huai spoke to the baby in her belly, "Little darling, grow up healthy and safe."
Zhou Jibai saw this scene as soon as he walked out of the bathroom.
Walking to the bedside, a hint of tenderness appeared between his brows, and his eyes fell on Shi Huai's abdomen.
He still felt a little unreal in his heart that he was going to be a father.
Shi Huai noticed that Zhou Jibai had been staring at her belly, so she took the initiative to move inside to let Zhou Jibai get on the bed.
It was not time to go to bed yet, so Zhou Jibai was not in a hurry to turn off the lights.
After a while, seeing Shi Huai yawn, he raised his hand to turn off the light.
With a click, the entire bedroom fell into darkness and silence.
Shi Huai took the initiative to talk to Zhou Jibai, "Zhou Jibai."
"Not sleepy yet?"
Shi Huai continued to ask him: "What do you think, should we give the baby in our belly a nickname?"
In the dark room, Zhou Jibai's voice was lazily: "I had already thought about it when I came back from Jiang An."
Shi Huai showed surprise on his face, and couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Jibai's arms, subconsciously holding Zhou Jibai's arm.
He suddenly felt the warmth and softness covering his body. Fortunately, it was dark at night, so he could pretend to be calm and indifferent, which was quite realistic.
"Just call him Zhou Jianqiang."
Shi Huai: ???
When Shi Huai heard this shocking name, he sat up from the bed and picked up the pillow behind him and threw it at Zhou Jibai's face.
"Hiss--" Zhou Jibai was a little dazed by the sudden hit. He slowly stood up from half sitting and turned on the lamp on the bedside table.
The dim warm light spread over the two of them. Zhou Jibai looked at Shi Huai's angry face and smiled faintly: "Don't you like it?"
"I like you!"
Zhou Jibai leaned his head closer to Shi Huai in a frivolous manner: "Do you really like it? Then give me a kiss?"
Shi Huai: ...
With a cold face, she put her hands on Zhou Jibai's head and gave his head a comprehensive spa.
Shi Huai hadn't cut his nails recently, and his nails scratched Zhou Jibai's scalp, causing him to squint in pain: "You can't afford to play, right?"
He wanted to name the baby Zhou Jianqiang, so how could he expect Shi Huai to be nice to him?
Shi Huai let go of his hand, groaned, turned his back to Zhou Jibai, and whispered to the child in his belly: "If your father really lets you call him that, I will allow you to remove his oxygen tank in the future."
Zhou Jibai laughed out loud, "You respect me quite a bit, even talking about your schemes behind my back."
As he said this, he took Shi Huai into his arms.
Shi Huai didn't want to be hugged by him, but she couldn't stand Zhou Jibai's great strength.
She raised her angry face to look at Zhou Jibai and asked again: "Are you serious?"
Zhou Jibai snorted, "That's right."
"Even when she was still in my womb, she was willing to go through fire and water with her mother. She was there for you to tear your stepmother apart, slap your mistress, and say goodbye to your college senior. If I'm not called Jianqiang, I'd be doing him a disservice."
Shi Huai: ...
After all this time, I found out that he was waiting for me here.
Why is Zhou Jibai such a vengeful person!
She knew she was in the wrong, so she leaned half of her face on Zhou Jibai's shoulder. Her voice sounded muffled because she felt guilty. "Didn't I apologize to you?"
"Did I ever say I would forgive you?" Zhou Jibai teased her.
Why are you so angry!
Shi Huai's eyes were full of sincerity as he said solemnly, "I swear, I will learn from my mistakes! I won't hide anything from you anymore! Otherwise..."
Halfway through his words, Shi Huai wilted again, bit his lip with a look of distress and stopped talking.
Zhou Jibai narrowed his narrow eyes meaningfully. "Or will you let the baby in your belly pull out my oxygen tube in the future? Tsk, how vicious."
Being choked by Zhou Jibai, he was unable to refute. He simply closed his eyes and said, "Otherwise, from now on, our baby's name will be yours. It will be Zhou Jianqiang!"
Shi Huai reluctantly mentioned Zhou Jianqiang's name, but Zhou Jibai didn't think it was real. "I don't believe it. Unless you remove me from the WeChat blacklist."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the bedside lamp suddenly went out, and the room fell into darkness again.
The sudden silence in the space brought back some not-so-pleasant memories, and Shi Huai suddenly came to his senses.
I don’t have Zhou Jibai’s WeChat.
To be precise, I blocked Zhou Jibai's WeChat.
In my previous life, I added Zhou Jibai on WeChat just before we were getting married, but he quickly blocked me after we got married. Our only way of communicating was through text messages, phone calls, or word of mouth.
Shi Huai silently took out her cell phone from under the pillow. The bright light from the screen clearly showed her guilty and ashamed expression.
"It's added back." Shi Huai said weakly.
Zhou Jibai didn't check her phone. He just raised his eyelids slightly and said nothing.
Shi Huai leaned towards him and wanted to hug Zhou Jibai with his hands as a gesture of friendship.
But when he freed his hand, he accidentally touched Zhou Jibai's leg. Since he had slept in the same bed with Shi Huai, he had never slept naked again. He always wore pajamas to sleep every night.
It was clearly an accidental touch, but Zhou Jibai used it to make a fuss, "You like to touch me randomly again, are you really tempted by my beauty?"
Shi Huai clenched his fist and punched his chest, then immediately turned his back and stopped trying to coax Zhou Jibai, the foul-mouthed guy.
After a while, Shi Huai vaguely heard the sound of regular breathing.
This guy is not only great at talking, but also great at sleeping.
The next moment, Zhou Jibai came over from behind, put his arms around her waist, and placed his warm and broad palms on her abdomen. His movements were light and gentle, and did not cause Shi Huai any discomfort.
Shi Huai's breathing hitched slightly. This posture was too intimate. Shi Huai straightened uncomfortably, but she didn't move, for fear of waking the sleeping god behind her who had fallen asleep in seconds.
After maintaining the same posture for a long time, Shi Huai became sleepy and fell asleep in a short while.
After she fell asleep, the man behind her started to move slightly.
In his sleep, Shi Huai felt his lips were a little itchy, thinking that a small fly had landed on his lips. He waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.
