Jian Luo didn't expect him to ask this.

But the adjutant seemed to be ready to fight this issue to the end. He stared at Jian Luo without blinking, as if he wanted to get an answer for himself.

Jian Luo paused for just two seconds before smiling: "Of course I like it."

The adjutant's hands curled up unconsciously.

Jian Luo sat up straight. He was not at all flustered when facing the adjutant. He said slowly and leisurely: "He is the father of the baby in my belly. Why would I hate him?"

The adjutant put down the information registration form in his hand and asked, "Aren't you humans the most particular about love?"

Jian Luo raised his eyebrows: "Will the adjutant also deign to understand human culture?"

The adjutant said nothing.

"I don't care what you think, but there's one thing I hope you can think clearly about." Jian Luo spoke frankly, "It's your freedom to like whoever you want, and it doesn't affect anyone else. Even if you like Lu Shifeng, that's fine, but I'm kindly reminding you that no matter what you do, Lu Shifeng might fall in love with you, but he definitely won't fall in love with you if you're targeting me."

The adjutant's eyes darkened.

Jian Luo's words were soft and didn't actually contain any strong sting, but he was very confident, a confidence that came from being favored, a confidence that made people a little jealous.

Jian Luo yawned and said, "I'm sleepy. I won't see you off, Adjutant."

The adjutant stood up, bowed to him and left.

After he left, the whole room fell silent, and Jian Luo's face darkened. It wasn't because he was mad at the adjutant, but because he was mad at himself.

The reason was simple. When the adjutant asked him if he liked Lu Shifeng, he hesitated. Although it was not a big deal at all, Jian Luo's heart was hanging in the air. When it comes to love, even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs run, right?

“No way…”

Jian Luo walked to the side and fell on the bed. He covered his head with his hands due to a headache, rolled over twice, and then let out a long sigh.

There was a fact that seemed to be before him.

He wants

He probably likes Lu Shifeng a little bit.

What did he like about the Marshal? Of course, he liked his face because he was obsessed with looks, but... when he liked his face before, he could say he didn't like it without hesitation. Why was he hesitating now?

Jian Luo, why are you hesitating?

After lying in bed for a while, feeling like he had let out all the anger in his life, Jian Luo sat up. No matter what he did, he couldn't fall asleep. It was almost night time, but he had no desire to sleep at all. His information bracelet was also unusable. The last bit of entertainment equipment was gone, and he felt like a salted fish.

Jian Luo sighed: "Let's read a book!"

The more he read the medical book, the more he became interested in it. Many of the books were about regulating the body, and they were medicinal foods made by combining various foods. Many of them were combinations of common foods, which could treat many minor physical ailments.

Jian Luo read the chapter on pregnant men, which also recorded many medicinal foods that pregnant men could eat. Many of them were quite suitable for him. Since he was not sleepy and no one cared about him, Jian Luo read it until late at night, until he finally felt sleepy and fell asleep on the bed.

"Dong Dong Dong"

There was a knock on the door.

Jian Luo, who was lying on the bed, frowned when he heard the sound, turned over, and chose to continue sleeping and ignore it. He was very sleepy.

The adjutant's voice came from outside: "Mr. Jian, please open the door. It's time for breakfast."

Jian Luo wanted to cover her ears, but unfortunately the adjutant outside did not intend to do as she wished. He continued to knock on the door relentlessly and finally woke up Jian Luo on the bed.

Jian Luo, still in a bad mood after waking up, went to open the door and rubbed his eyes: "Just leave it here, I'll remember to eat it."

The adjutant didn't intend to give up: "I'll wait here until you finish eating before leaving."

“…”

But he still wanted to take a nap.

Jian Luo forced himself to cheer up: "I'll call you when I'm done eating."

The adjutant was unmoved. He simply said, "It is my duty and responsibility to see you finish your three meals a day. Please don't make it difficult for me."

Jian Luo was deflated. He went into the house, washed up, and came out. He was in a bad mood because he had read for too long last night. He sat down at the table and looked at the rice porridge on the table without any appetite.

Jian Luo forced himself to eat a few mouthfuls and then felt he couldn't eat any more. He said, "I'm done."

The adjutant frowned: "You only eat so little."

What he meant was, who are you trying to fool by eating so little?

Jian Luo drank two more sips of milk and pretended to drink: "This should be fine, right?"

“…”

The adjutant certainly wouldn't be put off. He said, "Mr. Jian, even if you don't consider your own health, you should also consider the cub in your belly. The human body is inherently very weak. If you can't replenish nutrition from the outside world in time, I'm afraid it will affect the cub's growth."

Jian Luo felt an inexplicable headache after listening to all this.

He felt a headache looking at the food on the table. He didn't sleep well last night, and when he woke up in the morning, he was still grouchy and felt a fire inexplicably gathering in his chest.

In fact, he is not the kind of person who would lose his temper easily and be unreasonable, so he can only suppress his anger at this moment.

Jian Luo took a step back and said, "I really have no appetite. So, please, adjutant, get me a holy dragon fruit."

This time the adjutant didn't argue: "Please wait a moment."

As soon as he turned and left, Jian Luo rushed to the bed. He hadn't taken a nap for long when the whole ship suddenly shook. The visible tremor made people open their eyes and wake up suddenly.

Jian Luo sat up: "What's wrong?!"

Just then, the adjutant outside came back. Seeing Jian Luo stand up, he came over to explain, "The warship may have entered a meteorite area. The meteorites there are highly mobile and extremely lethal. It may cause some turbulence during flight."

Jian Luo breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought we were going to fight again."

The adjutant said nothing.

As for Jian Luo, he always maintained the policy of keeping silent if he could avoid talking to her.

After a few words of small talk, the adjutant handed the fresh holy dragon fruit he had retrieved to Jian Luo: "Have some."

Jian Luo peeled the skin herself and started eating.

He originally thought that his lack of interest in food was only due to the food on the table, but he never expected that the holy dragon fruit, which he could usually eat half of, would become tasteless after a few bites.

Jian Luo felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he put it down and said, "I'm not eating anymore."

The adjutant wanted to say: "But..."

Jian Luo finally couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, he raised his eyelids, his eyes filled with anger: "But what?!"

The adjutant narrowed his eyes, and a moment of surprise flashed across his usually calm eyes behind his glasses, but it was quickly covered up.

Holding the plate, he hesitated for a moment before bowing and saying, "Then I'll take my leave."

Watching him leave, Jian Luo took a few breaths, kicked the quilt irritably, and snuggled back in. He was actually very sleepy because he didn't get enough sleep in the morning, but for some reason, his mind was foggy after the sleep he got.

I tossed and turned in bed, half asleep and half awake, and in a trance, I actually dreamed of things from the past.

"Eat quickly, don't let Luo Luo find out."

"That's all Mom bought. Don't tell him."

"We only have so little money at home, why spend it on a wild child?"

Fragmentary sounds and images kept flashing through his mind. Jian Luo stood in a dark place and watched these scenes quietly.

It was like a whirlpool was pulling him down, and he had no strength and no desire to struggle anymore.

suddenly

Jian Luo was startled by the weight falling on her shoulders. She turned around quickly and met a pair of ruby-like eyes.

Lying on his shoulder was a small black dragon, about the size of a palm. The scales on its body did not look as shiny and hard as those of an adult dragon, but rather looked a little soft. The small wings on its back could not be fully erected, so it could only use its small claws to pull at Jian Luo's clothes.

Jian Luo looked at him and almost forgot to breathe.

The little black dragon crawled with a grunt, and finally stood firmly on Jian Luo's shoulder. It let out a soft, coquettish snoring sound from its throat, and rubbed its little head against Jian Luo's head.

Jian Luo reached out and wanted to touch its head.

The little dragon raised its head as if it sensed something. On its tiny head was a pair of small dragon horns that had not yet grown out. They were wet and had water stains on them.

A smile appeared on Jian Luo's lips: "You rubbed my tears."

Xiaolong was confused and didn't understand.

Just when Jian Luo was about to say something, the whole world spun around. He suddenly opened his eyes and found himself back in the room inside the warship.

Jian Luo sat up, touched his belly, and was a little confused: "Baby..."

Aren’t there three eggs? Why do I only see one cub?

Well, it’s still a black cub.

Oh, I was looking forward to having a little golden dragon, but it seems to be a black one for sure. But that’s okay, so that Brother Long won’t think that I cheated on him.

Jian Luo woke up feeling a little dizzy. He sat up and tried to stand up, but just as he bent his waist and legs, he felt a sharp pain. The discomfort made him gasp: "Hiss..."

I have cramps.

Jian Luo had never had cramps when she was pregnant with three cubs. At that time, he thought that even if he had cramps, Lu Shifeng would always be with him, so it shouldn't be a problem.

But there was no one around now, and the trembling pain in my legs was of no use.

Jian Luo took a few deep breaths, trying to endure the pain, but it didn't work. Humans' tolerance for pain is actually not bad, but the worst thing is that it may be because of the baby in his belly, the reaction is more severe, his legs are cramping so badly that he can hardly move.

at last

Jian Luo gave up.

He lay on his back on the bed, quietly waiting for the cramp to pass. The pain gradually subsided and finally disappeared.

After sighing, Jian Luo came back to his senses and found himself covered in cold sweat.

"Dong Dong Dong"

There was another knock on the door.

Jian Luo turned his head and said, "Please come in."

It was Secretary Jin who came this time. She also followed the dining table and looked inside with some concern: "Luoluo, I heard from the adjutant that you didn't feel well today. What's wrong?"

Jian Luo let out a long breath and fell back on the bed. He said, "Nothing serious, I just don't have much appetite."

Secretary Jin pushed the dining table in and said, "The kitchen specially made a red dragon fruit milk tea for you today. Would you like to try it?"

Jian Luo glanced sideways: "I'm not very interested in the Holy Spirit Fruit right now."

Secretary Jin knew that pregnant women would likely enter a period of high reflexes during June or July, but she wasn't sure if Jian Luo was the one, so she could only say, "Luoluo, do you want to try it first?"

Jian Luo didn't want to try it.

But others had brought the food, and it would be ungrateful for him not to eat it.

Thinking of this, Jian Luo stood up with difficulty. The cramp in his calf had improved a lot. He could walk after standing on the ground to stretch his muscles. He walked to the dining table and looked at the chicken soup in the casserole. He pursed his lips, tried to hold it in, but finally couldn't help it: "Ugh..."

He leaned down on the trash can next to him. He felt acid in his stomach and vomited a few mouthfuls of sour water.

Secretary Jin was frightened: "Luoluo!"

Jian Luogong curled up, suppressing his churning stomach. He said with difficulty, "That chicken soup has oil in it."

?

I haven’t drunk it yet, is it not enough to just look at it?

Secretary Jin patted his shoulder and said hesitantly, "How about I help you avoid the oil?"

Jian Luo shook his head.

Secretary Jin had no choice but to take the chicken soup back to the dining cart. The other dishes were all vegetarian. The only one that was slightly oily or meaty was the crayfish, which was also one of Jian Luo's favorite dishes.

Secretary Jin was just about to introduce the crayfish to Jian Luo, but Jian Luo glanced at the crayfish on the plate. He felt as if he could smell the fishy odor of the crayfish through the plate. His stomach was churning, and he was about to vomit again. Secretary Jin quickly said, "Okay, okay, I know. I'll take the crayfish away too."

It seems that she is afraid of Jian Luo.

The next few dishes were all just as Secretary Jin expected. Jian Luo didn't even take a few bites before taking them all back unopened.

Secretary Jin looked at Jian Luo and was a little worried: "Luoluo... I'll ask the military doctor to check you out."

Jian Luo did not object.

Soon, Secretary Jin was very efficient, especially since the matter involved Jian Luo, so the speed was even faster. A military doctor came over quickly with a medicine box. It was a woman. When she saw Jian Luo, she bowed first and then brought the equipment to examine him.

Jian Luo sat on the sofa quietly and let her move.

The military doctor fiddled with the instrument for a while, recorded a lot of data, and finally sighed and confirmed: "There is a slight acclimatization problem, and also lack of..."

Jian Luo looked over: "What's missing?"

"You're missing your partner's pheromones." The military doctor treated Jian Luo with great patience. "Your partner must have been with you all the time in February and March. This has caused your body and the baby in your belly to become accustomed to his pheromones. If he were to suddenly be gone, psychological discomfort would trigger physical discomfort."

Jian Luo was a little confused: "Psychological factors can also trigger it?"

The military doctor nodded and said, "That should be the case. A pregnant woman cannot suppress too many emotions. In order to help you adjust your psychological and emotional problems, your body will take on some of them."

Secretary Jin, the class representative, summarized, "So Luoluo is worried, and the reason for her worry is... because the Marshal is not here?"

“…”

You know a lot.

Jian Luo felt his face burning, and he stammered, "No, no, I just haven't been feeling well these past two days. It has nothing to do with Brother Long."

Secretary Jin glanced at Jian Luo, with a look on his face that said: No need to explain, I understand.

The military doctor also comforted him: "This is normal, and it's not something you can control. Pregnant women are particularly dependent on their partners' messages for comfort. I will prescribe some medicine for you later, which may provide some relief."

Only then did Jian Luo nod.

After Secretary Jin and the military doctor left, he buried his head in the quilt in shame and anger. It was so embarrassing! How could he still do this?

The medicine left by the military doctor was in the form of lozenges. Jian Luo opened one and put it in her mouth. She felt her mouth instantly filled with a spicy sweet taste.

“…”

The dragon clan’s medicine is really amazing.

The other side

Secretary Jin went back with a heavy heart. When she returned to the door of the training room, she saw the adjutant, who asked her, "How is Mr. Jian?"

Secretary Jin shook her head: "Not very good."

The adjutant remained silent.

"I think we'd better report this to the Marshal." Secretary Jin sighed heavily. "He's not feeling well right now. If the Marshal comes out and Luo Luo gets into trouble, he won't let us go."

The adjutant said, "You are not unaware of the Marshal's current situation."

Secretary Jin frowned and objected: "Whether to meet Luo Luo should be decided by the Marshal himself. All we have to do is report truthfully."

“…”

The two people looked at each other, and there was a moment of silence in the air.

Finally, the adjutant said, "I'll think about it and give you an answer this afternoon."

Secretary Jin didn't press the issue any further. He nodded, looked at the adjutant meaningfully, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and finally left.

canteen

Jian Luo really couldn't hold it in anymore staying locked up in the room, so he came to the cafeteria to cook some food. Because he couldn't stand the smell of fish now, the uncle specially prepared a small room for him, and only put a few of Jian Luo's favorite ingredients in it, letting him cook as he pleased.

The uncle asked, "Is today's meal still for the Marshal?"

Jian Luo sighed: "Yeah."

The uncle noticed that Jian Luo was not in good spirits. To be honest, he still quite liked Jian Luo, so he comforted him: "Luoluo, don't think too much. The Marshal is just too busy. Don't think too much."

Jian Luo inexplicably felt that these words were somewhat familiar.

It's just like some people comforting a woman who is waiting for her husband to come home.

Thinking of this, he smiled: "I know he must have his reasons, and I don't blame him."

As he spoke, Jian Luo brought over the prepared meal. The uncle looked at the pitiful plate of potato rice on the plate and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

At the beginning, there were two dishes and a soup. If nothing else, at least there was an egg. But now, the dishes are getting fewer and fewer. Until now, people just cover the rice with the dishes and make do with it.

The uncle hesitated and said, "That's all?"

"Hmm?" Jian Luo tilted his head and smiled: "He is quite busy. If you are injured, drink more nutrient solution. It will be better for your body."

“…”

You are just angry.

The uncle didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that if he said anything more, Jian Luo would no longer think of him when he had something delicious, so he put away his sympathy for the marshal.

afternoon

When it was time to deliver the meal, the uncle brought over the meal made by Jian Luo.

The adjutant took it, thanked him, and then entered the training room. The huge training room was in a mess, the ground was sunken, and broken stone pillars were everywhere. The space here was huge, but it was in ruins everywhere.

In the very middle of the training room, a man was sitting half leaning against a pillar. His upper body was almost entirely covered with black dragon scales, and his eyes were scarlet. He noticed someone coming in, raised his eyelids and looked over, murderous intent rising in his eyes.

The adjutant put the food down at a safe distance.

In the past, Lu Shifeng's violent state might take ten days or half a month to ease, but this time it was just as Secretary Jin said. In just less than three days, he had calmed down. It was truly unprecedented.

The adjutant said respectfully, "Then I'll take my leave."

Lu Shifeng's voice was hoarse: "Did I let you go?"

“…”

The adjutant paused, turned around, and said respectfully, "What can I do for you?"

Lu Shifeng leaned lazily against the pillar, his stern face covered with scales like a work of art. He spoke slowly, "Is this all Jian Luo did?"

What you're implying is that after not seeing each other for a few days, he starts to treat me like this?

The adjutant hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Yes."

“…”

There was a dead silence in the air.

The adjutant clearly felt the temperature getting colder and the murderous aura rising. Under such momentum, it was even a question whether he could stand firm.

Finally, Lu Shifeng lowered his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "How is he?"

The adjutant hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to speak. When he looked up again, he met the cold gaze of those blood-red eyes. There was no emotion in them, but there was indescribable scrutiny.

At this moment, the adjutant felt a little powerless.

…

Jian Luo didn't eat lunch again.

The kitchen really tried its best. Jian Luo cooked a bowl of millet porridge for herself. She thought she could eat a little, but she vomited it all after just a few bites.

From morning till now, he had been eating and vomiting, feeling like he was going to throw up his stomach. Jian Luo felt very exhausted, but he just couldn't eat.

Secretary Jin was getting anxious: "Luoluo, how about you eat some more holy dragon fruit?"

Jian Luoxianyu lay on the sofa and shook her head: "I don't want to vomit anymore."

…

Secretary Jin sighed, "The military doctor said that if you can't eat anymore, you'll lose weight even faster due to the unfamiliar climate and water. We might have to give you nutritional injections then."

Jian Luo's eyes widened: "Needle?!"

He thought of what he saw in the hospital, the injection that was worse than death and caused a headache.

Secretary Jin consoled him a few more times before leaving, generally hoping that Jian Luo would have a good rest, not think too much, and adjust his mentality before trying to eat. Jian Luo listened to everything as carefully as possible.

As soon as Secretary Jin left, the room became quiet again.

Jane lay on the sofa for a while. Just when she wanted to get up, the familiar pain in her legs came again, and this time the pain was even more severe than the one on the bed. She gasped in pain and her whole body shook uncontrollably.

"hiss……"

Jian Luo's eyes were filled with tears. When she thought of the military doctor's words, her resentment towards Lu Shifeng suddenly surged. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the room, she pounded her legs and cursed, "You bastard, you tricked me into coming here and then left me alone. You said you'd be back in a while, but you disappeared for two or three days. There's not a single good man in this world. Who wants to give birth to your child? I think when I get back, I'll take the child and go find him..."

The author has something to say: Lu Shifeng: “…”
