Chapter 8 Extra 2: A Few Things About Pregnancy (Part 4)

A fair, ketone-colored body came into view.

Towering snow-capped peaks, melting ice and snow, gather into a source, a source that flows endlessly.

Ning Jue's gaze suddenly deepened, his breathing became heavy, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "When did it start?"

Bai Hua's fingers trembled as she truthfully replied, "At first, it was just a slight swelling and discomfort, occurring once a day or half a day. Three days ago was the first time my clothes became soaked, but yesterday everything was normal, with no abnormalities. Then today, you just hugged me and touched and kissed me, so my body inevitably reacted, and I couldn't help but feel it again."

Ning Jue frowned in thought, remaining silent for a moment before not immediately expressing his opinion.

He had no experience dealing with this kind of thing and only knew to seek medical help when he was sick, but the situation he was in was obviously more special.

This is not an illness, but a natural ability that women are born with. What makes Hua'er different is that her ability awakened earlier.

So, what should we do?

Ning Jue was in a dilemma.

Ning Jue: "Was it uncomfortable when it overflowed? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"It's not something that absolutely needs to be said," Bai Hua mumbled softly, her voice lacking confidence, as she continued, "It's just uncomfortable when it swells up, but it gets better once it overflows. What's frustrating is that this discomfort comes suddenly and unexpectedly, making it impossible to guard against."

Ning Jue was still worried: "Did you ask the doctor? Did the doctor say it was nothing serious?"

Bai Hua shook her head and replied, "I didn't ask the doctor, but the famous wet nurse in the capital. She came to our house to see my condition and said that I was fine. She also said that many women in the capital were in similar situations. My sister-in-law was there at the time, so my husband can rest assured."

Bai Hua deliberately avoided discussing her experience of being disciplined in Shiyi Township with Ning Jue.

This wasn't a question of whether the couple was being honest or not, nor was it because the matter itself was shameful and therefore difficult to talk about. Rather, it was because she didn't want Ning Jue to worry about the past anymore.

No matter how unbearable the past may have been, it's all in the past now.

The past of relying on others and living under their roof is just the beginning. Now she turns to the pages of her own book, starting from the prologue, and how she writes the rest is entirely up to her.

Therefore, there is no need to look back, nor is it worth looking back.

Ning Jue then asked, "If I were to prescribe some herbal decoction and boil it down for drinking, would that work?"

Bai Hua shook her head again: "I asked the wet nurse. The medicine only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. In addition, all medicines have some toxicity. The mother's body is already fragile during pregnancy, so it's better not to use medicine."

Ning Jue stopped asking questions and looked at Bai Hua standing in front of him, her clothes disheveled and her body bare, fearing that she might catch a cold.

He bent down and picked up the blouse from his boot, holding it in his hand. Then he thought that half of the blouse had fallen to the ground and was dirty, so it was not appropriate to wrap it around her again. Therefore, he gave up and did not move it.

"I'll carry you back to the bed."

Bai Hua nodded, and Ning Jue, having received permission, gently picked her up and carried her to the bed in a few steps.

Just as he was about to cover her with a blanket, Bai Hua stopped him, saying, "You need to wipe yourself off first."

Ning Jue glanced at the several white stains on her body, his breathing unconsciously becoming heavier. He replied, "Okay, I'll go to the bathroom to get a towel."

A short while later, Ning Jue returned, took a damp cotton cloth from the bathhouse, sat on the edge of the bed, and began to wipe Bai Hua.

Bai Hua reached out and said, "I can do it myself."

Ning Jue pushed her shoulder, making her lie down again: "Lie down properly. You're heavily pregnant and it's inconvenient for you to move around. Besides, your husband is here. Are you just going to leave him here unused?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Hua had no choice but to stop insisting. She shifted her body slightly to make herself more comfortable.

Just then, Ning Jue placed the blouse under the pillow. Her upper body was naked, and facing Ning Jue directly like this, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and ashamed. So she simply closed her eyes and forced herself to remain calm.

Ning Jue held the cotton towel with his long fingers, moving very gently and carefully throughout. That area was already very fragile, how could it withstand a rough and forceful approach?

There were only three stains on Bai Hua's body, and they were very shallow. They could be easily wiped clean.

However, as he wiped it off cleanly, Bai Hua's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

Her gaze suddenly became unfocused, her lips tightened instantly, and her shoulders trembled as if she were unwell.

Ning Jue noticed and stopped, quickly asking, "Hua'er, what's wrong?"

Bai Hua was too ashamed to say it aloud, and Ning Jue was just wiping her clean, but he didn't expect that with just a slight touch, that overflowing feeling would immediately surge again.

Worse still, she had no control over it, nor could she stop it.

It's almost too late!

"Go away..." Bai Hua was afraid of losing her composure and hurriedly urged Ning Jue to leave. Her voice was hoarse as she spoke, and her eyes were red.

Ning Jue didn't know what was going on, but seeing that Bai Hua was acting strangely, he was naturally worried and wouldn't easily listen to advice and leave.

He persisted, pressing for an explanation.

This time, without Bai Hua having to explain it herself, as soon as he finished speaking, a jet of water suddenly appeared in front of him. He was stunned by the sight he had never seen before, his mind went blank, and his face became hot.

Bai Hua reacted before him. She didn't bother to dry herself, her shoulders trembled, and then a loud "waaa!" came out of her throat, a desperate and helpless cry.

Ning Jue, fearing she would be embarrassed, chose to remain silent. He continued to help, clutching a cotton towel in his hand, but no matter how much he wiped, new fluid would flow out again. Clearly, wiping alone was not enough to stop it; a more effective way to stop it was needed.

In matters like this, the words of experienced people are certainly more valuable for reference.

Ning Jue put his arm around Bai Hua's shoulder, gently coaxed her a few times, and wiped away her tears with his fingertips. After she calmed down a bit, he asked, "Hua'er, what did your wet nurse tell you that day? If you don't drink the medicine, what other ways are there to deal with it?"

Bai Hua knew, but found it difficult to say.

Ning Jue noticed her hesitation and sighed, "Is there anything you can't tell me? We're husband and wife, why are you hiding things from me?"

"No..." Bai Hua didn't want him to have this knot, so she quickly denied it. Then she lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Another useful method is to find an infant and make it use all its strength to help with the flow, so that there will be no inflammation."

Bai Hua could only say that.

Only she and her sister-in-law knew that the wet nurse's words that day were quite improper, saying things like "marital affection, it's best to settle things in the tent, it's very convenient."

Bai Hua couldn't relay these words.

However, Ning Jue was extremely clever and perceptive. When he saw that Bai Hua dared not look him in the eye, he knew that there must be something else hidden in her words.

He asked directly, "Did the wet nurse really say that? Our children are still in their mothers' wombs, how could the wet nurse make such a suggestion?"

Bai Hua replied, "My sister-in-law has a little nephew. It's not like we can't find a baby to nurse at a relative's house."

Ning Jue raised an eyebrow: "You're so shy and embarrassed in front of me, how many more people do you want to know about your breast engorgement?"

His bluntness made Bai Hua feel embarrassed, so she immediately lowered her head and couldn't answer.

Ning Jue continued relentlessly: "I guess the wet nurse didn't ask Hua'er to find an infant, but rather to ask you to find your own husband for help. That would be the most convenient and least disturbing for others."

"you……"

With her secret exposed, Bai Hua felt both ashamed and embarrassed, her cheeks burning, and she just wanted to disappear into the ground.

Overwhelmed with emotion, the overwhelming feeling in front of her intensified, and Bai Hua couldn't help but want to cry again.

Ning Jue sighed, leaned closer to her, and gently sucked away all the tears on her face. Then he quickly took off his boots, got onto the bed, and lay down next to her.

"Hua'er, why don't you want to come to me? I really want to help you with this."

"..."

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm too embarrassed.

No woman in this world could say those words so easily.

During this special time, Ning Jue was naturally more worried about Bai Hua. He didn't dwell on those messy things and only wanted to help her recover quickly so that she could stay more comfortable.

However, the moment she tacitly allowed him to suckle, his mouth was filled with a unique, mellow fragrance. He knew that if he said he wasn't aroused, it would be a lie. Before, no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't ejaculate, but now, with the slightest touch, she would automatically offer up her nectar. He was so engrossed in the taste that he drank it in large gulps.

More than half an hour later... Bai Hua got off the bed, cleansed herself and took a bath. When she came out, she felt much more comfortable and refreshed.

Ning Jue remained reclining on the couch, one arm as a pillow, his gaze fixed on the empty space above him. He remained motionless for a long time, lost in thought or perhaps reminiscing.

Bai Hua, on the other hand, worried about him: "Husband, what are you daydreaming about? Why don't you go to the bathhouse and take a shower too?"

Ning Jue turned to look at her, his eyes still dark and unsettled.

He seemed to deliberately lick his lips, a gesture that left much to the imagination.

Their eyes met, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Hua'er usually loves cheese and custard buns and always recommends them to me. I always say that I don't like sweets and always refuse, which makes me feel bad for Hua'er's kindness in sharing. I was ungrateful. Only today did I realize that I actually really like this taste. If there is cheese again in the future, Hua'er must remember to share it with me and try it together, okay?"

Is he deliberately trying to embarrass her?

Bai Hua's agitation, which had just subsided, was easily stirred up again by his few words, such as "I really like this taste"... She didn't want to hear a single word of it.

"Who cares what you like to eat!"

Bai Hua glared at him, her expression fierce and unfriendly.

Ning Jue smiled, having successfully teased her, and propped himself up from the couch.

He slowly and methodically adjusted his hat and put on his boots, his previous frivolous and dissolute demeanor fading away, and his overall temperament returning to its usual dignified and aloof state.

"Did Hua'er complicate things? Look how simple the process is. You don't have to endure that suffocating feeling and suffer like this. Medicine doesn't work, but your husband does. In the future, when you encounter trouble, the first person you should think of is me."

"You, what you did wasn't just helping, it was clearly bullying people." Bai Hua finally managed to utter a resentful remark after a long pause.

Ning Jue smiled again, his lips slightly raised, his eyebrows and eyes curved, looking as carefree as a playboy.

Bai Hua snorted: "You're always right."

Ning Jue: "It's not that I'm right, it's just that my throat has been moistened, so it's convenient for me to argue with you."

"..."

Bai Hua glared and gave up. When it came to shamelessness, she could never beat him.

Ning Jue knew when to stop, fearing that teasing Hua'er any further would really anger him, so he quickly got off the bed and went to the bathhouse to tidy up.

As soon as he left, Bai Hua went outside and rang a bell to call Xiao You in to change the sheets.

Xiao You was the only other person besides her sister-in-law who knew that Bai Hua's breasts were swollen and uncomfortable.

She came in and stood by the bed, quickly changing the sheets and blankets. When she saw some damp stains on the sheets and blankets, Xiao You stopped.

Bai Hua urged, "It's getting late, hurry up and finish changing so you can go down and rest."

I originally thought that by urging her like that, Xiao You would be distracted and wouldn't ask any more questions.

Unexpectedly, the young maid put down what she was doing and had to ask with concern: "Miss, did you leak milk again? Has your husband... noticed?"

Knowing that Bai Hua was intentionally hiding this, Xiao You, looking sneaky, deliberately lowered her voice when she asked.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hua's face changed, turning pale and then red. "Milk seepage... How come Xiao You's words are even more vulgar than Ning Jue's!"

Also, why do they always have to describe things in such detail?

Bai Hua simply couldn't understand it!

She sighed, giving in: "No need to speak so quietly, he already knows."

"Ah..." Xiao You blinked, continuing to change the sheets while her eyes darted around as she pondered, "Actually, thinking about it carefully, this isn't such a bad thing. If the young master knew, he would take better care of the young lady."

Xiao You is still very young and has no experience as a married woman, so her words are definitely naive.

She only knew that Bai Hua's breasts were swollen, but she didn't know that the way to relieve them was by sucking.

Bai Hua understood her well, knowing that the most her little brain could think of was probably Ning Jue giving her a massage, and even that made her blush.

After changing the bedding, Xiao You asked Bai Hua if she wanted a hot towel to apply to her head, worried that massage or similar methods wouldn't provide enough relief.

Bai Hua couldn't explain why she felt completely refreshed now.

To avoid arousing Xiao You's suspicion and to save herself the trouble of explaining, she simply nodded and agreed, "Okay, prepare to send in two. You don't need to do anything else. Once you're done, get some rest."

Xiao You: "Yes, miss."

Worried that Xiao You might notice something was amiss, Bai Hua urged her to leave as soon as she brought the towel.

As Xiao You was about to leave, she noticed that Bai Hua hadn't moved yet, so she reminded her, "Miss, don't delay. The towel cools down quickly after being wrung out, and it won't be effective in a while."

Bai Hua: "Understood."

To avoid arousing suspicion, Bai Hua turned her back, loosened her clothes, and untied the belt at her waist. Only after hearing the door close tightly did she casually toss the hot towel back into the wooden tray and set it aside.

The belt was loosened, and the collar opened slightly.

Bai Hua lowered her head, glanced at the area briefly, and then noticed the clearly visible red fingerprints again.

It's unbearable to recall... but my mind just keeps clinging to those few decadent scenes.

He was too fierce then. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he immediately squeezed her hard with his palm, bringing her breasts together and taking care of both sides.

The two were so close, so very close.

Their breaths mingled, and she could even clearly hear his forceful swallowing.

She's gone mad. She actually wants a next time.
