The apocalypse arrived, but there were no zombies. Only unpredictable extreme weather and daily squabbles forced humans to survive on instinct alone to avoid being eliminated.
Yun Qi struggle...
Yunqi submitted her resignation letter upon starting work. Her supervisor tried repeatedly to persuade her to stay, but despite her reluctance, she politely declined. Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded to stay, the supervisor didn't press the issue and could only approve her resignation, telling her to wait until a new person was recruited and trained for a month before she could leave.
When her colleagues heard the news of her resignation, they were all very understanding, as living apart from their spouses is very difficult for the young couple.
Days passed by in a blur of busyness. Yunqi looked at the notebook calendar on his desk, at the things to be done, and felt that something had been forgotten, but he couldn't remember what it was.
"Xiaoqi, you've gained weight lately. You need to maintain your figure. You can't relax just because you're married." At lunchtime, I couldn't help but urge her as I watched her fill another big bowl of rice.
"Are you fat? No, I've never gained weight. We can't waste food, so you should eat more too." Ever since his rebirth, Yun Qi has been unable to stand seeing food wasted.
Li Mingli also carefully looked Yun Qi up and down, and nodded. "You do seem to have gained weight. Isn't it said that gaining weight is a 'benefit' for men after marriage? Are you already getting married and starting to get fat? You still need to control your diet. I see that you've been eating a lot lately." These words made several colleagues next to her nod in agreement, and they started talking about the topic of weight loss.
"Xiao Qi, you should go to the hospital for a check-up when you have time. It's possible you're pregnant," suggested Director Li, who was sitting next to them listening to their conversation.
Her colleagues were stunned. "That's right! Why didn't we think of that? You'll have a baby after you get married!" Li Mingli said excitedly.
Hearing this, Xiao Qi was stunned. She suddenly remembered something she had forgotten. It turned out that she hadn't had her period for two months. It seemed that she hadn't had it since she returned to Q City after her wedding. She had been busy shopping and had forgotten about it without realizing it. Fortunately, she hadn't been to her Sanda training this month because her personal trainer had to go back to his hometown. Otherwise, the thought of it was terrifying.
"What are you standing there for? Go ask for leave later and go to the hospital for a check-up this afternoon." Li Mingli gently nudged her shoulder and said this when she saw her standing there in a daze.
After taking leave, Yunqi took a taxi to the hospital to register. When she received the ultrasound report and saw the ultrasound message: "Double gestational sacs in the uterus, embryos alive," Yunqi was overjoyed. She had two babies!
"Take a deep breath, relax, don't get too excited." The doctor saw that Yunqi's hands were trembling with excitement and quickly comforted her. "From the ultrasound, everything is developing very well. I'll prescribe some folic acid for you. Just make sure you get enough rest and eat a good diet. You can take a pregnancy precautions sheet home later and come to the hospital for regular checkups."
Yun Qi's emotions were like a pot of water just boiled, brimming with excitement. Leaving the doctor's office, Yun Qi took out his phone and dialed Si Cheng's number directly.
"Xiao Qi, why are you calling me at this hour? Are you missing your husband?"
"Brother Cheng, take a deep breath now. I have something very important to tell you."
"What's wrong? Why are you so serious?"
"I'm pregnant! I'm carrying our little baby!"
Si Cheng immediately sat up straight. "Qi Bao, what did you say? Say it again."
“I told them that I was pregnant with our baby and that I had just had a check-up and everything was fine.”
“They…?” Si Cheng immediately grasped the key point.
Yes, I have two babies in my belly.
"Qibao, I'm coming right away." He said, picking up the car keys from the table and heading out.
"Brother Cheng, don't be nervous. The doctor said I'm in good health. I just need to pay attention to rest and diet. I'll come see you this weekend." Yunqi had forgotten how excited she was when she first heard the news, but now she was able to comfort Sicheng instead.
After some persuasion, they finally calmed Si Cheng down and convinced him that he didn't need to come.
"Then you should get some rest. Call a car to go back later. Call me immediately if anything happens." Si Cheng said as he paced around the office. After hanging up, he kept muttering, "I'm going to be a dad, a dad of two babies."
Yunqi hailed a taxi at the hospital entrance, gave them her home address, and intended to go straight home. However, when the driver was halfway there, Yunqi suddenly had a craving for wontons, so she asked the driver to take her to the food street instead. She secretly laughed at herself, thinking how fussy she was. She hadn't been so picky about food when she was pregnant; she only started craving it as soon as she found out.
After finishing her wontons at the food street and packing up some barbecue, she hurried home. If she stayed any longer, she felt like taking everything home, but considering her stomach, she decided against it. She vowed that when Cheng Ge came over, she'd make him her porter, carrying lots of delicious food home.
Not long after I entered the house, I heard my phone ringing in my bag. When I took it out, I found it was a colleague from work.
"Xiao Qi, how's it going? Have you gotten the results yet?" Li Mingli's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's out! Mingli, I'm pregnant, and with twins!" Yunqi was still very excited when talking about her pregnancy.
"Really? Congratulations! You're so careless, you didn't even realize you were pregnant. Did the doctor say how big the baby is?"
"It's been over two months already. I still don't know if it's a boy or a girl." The pregnant mother is starting to worry about this issue again.
"Ideally, it would be a boy and a girl. I don't know anyone who's had twins yet. If it were a boy and a girl, that would be even better. No way, Xiao Qi, I want to be the child's godmother." As she spoke, she became even more excited than Yun Qi, the pregnant mother.
"Sure, but being a godmother isn't easy. You'll have to start preparing a big red envelope," Yunqi joked.
"Of course! Big red envelopes are always ready, I'm really looking forward to it." Li Mingli had also made a small fortune with Yunqi recently, and she spoke with a bit of arrogance.
The two chatted for a while longer before telling Yunqi to get some rest.
I had just hung up the phone when it rang again.
"Brother Cheng, I'm home now." Yunqi knew Brother Cheng was worried and had already made several calls while eating dumplings. Now he was calling again to confirm that he had arrived home safely.
"Qibao, stay home and behave yourself. I'll be there in half an hour."
"Brother Cheng, don't you have to work? There's really no need to be nervous. The weekend is the day after tomorrow, and you'll be running around again."
"It's alright, I've already given the instructions, you can stay there for three days."
"Then drive slowly and be careful on the road." In order not to disturb Si Cheng while he was driving, he gave a few more words of advice and then hung up the phone.
