"What? Sister Yunshu, I think my ears are broken. Can you repeat it again?" Xia Qingqing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets in surprise.
Good heavens, is she about to become an aunt?!
Gu Yunshu smiled and gently stroked her belly: "You heard me right, I'm pregnant, I'm already three months along."
Even Gu Yunshu herself couldn't believe that she could get pregnant.
It's worth noting that since the apocalypse, while ordinary people have been fine, there have been almost no reported cases of people with superpowers getting pregnant.
It's unclear whether superpowers have altered the body; scientists have been researching this issue, but unfortunately, there has been no progress.
Taking advantage of the fact that people with superpowers cannot get pregnant, Gu Yunshu and Xie Jing did not use any contraception when they had sex.
At first, Gu Yunshu was worried, after all, it's better to be safe than sorry, but since no problems have arisen, she gradually calmed down.
Not long ago, Gu Yunshu inexplicably began to feel sleepy. She thought it was because of the hot weather, until she suddenly vomited while eating a couple of days ago.
Xie Jing was worried and insisted on taking her to the base hospital for a checkup.
After listening to her symptoms, the doctor looked at her strangely and ordered an ultrasound, which showed that she was three months pregnant.
Not only was she stunned, but Xie Jing and the doctor were also stunned.
It is a general consensus that people with superpowers cannot get pregnant. Although scientists have been working hard to solve this problem for the sake of all mankind, there has been no progress so far.
Gu Yunshu found it somewhat amusing to recall Xie Jing's silly appearance back then.
However, Xie Jing's joy was short-lived. He quickly realized that the news of Gu Yunshu's pregnancy absolutely could not be spread. Who knew if some crazy scientist would want to capture her for research?
No matter how powerful he and Gu Yunshu are, an individual can never defeat an army of thousands.
But even if they wanted to hide this news, they couldn't hide it for long. Gu Yunshu's belly would soon grow big, and then everyone would be able to guess what was going on.
Xie Jing even considered taking Gu Yunshu and her sister to live in a deserted place.
Seeing Xie Jing's anxiety, Gu Yunshu spent a lot of effort to calm him down.
It's no wonder Xie Jing is so worried, because even though the two are now living together, Gu Yunshu still hasn't told Xie Jing all her secrets.
She's not the kind of person who'd risk her life for love; even the strongest feelings can crumble in the face of huge interests.
Gu Yunshu had no intention of hiding it, and soon the news of her pregnancy reached the higher-ups at the base.
However, apart from expressing their congratulations to Gu Yunshu, the leaders at the base only dared to vaguely probe her attitude and whether she was willing to cooperate with the scientists in some research.
As for forcibly taking her away for research, don't be ridiculous. The base's upper management was so frightened by Gu Yunshu's mysterious and unpredictable methods that they didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves.
At the other party's polite request, Gu Yunshu kindly donated two vials of blood. Whether or not she could ultimately discover anything was none of her concern.
Gu Yunshu cherished the child in her womb, for from then on, she had another blood relative in this cold apocalypse.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Gu Yunshu's features appeared softer than before. She looked at Xia Qingqing earnestly and said, "Qingqing, I'm entrusting you with preparing the things your little niece needs."
"No problem, Sister Yunshu, don't worry. I'll make sure everything is prepared perfectly for you. I'll take care of everything the baby needs, inside and out," Xia Qingqing said, patting her chest.
Hehe, she's going to be an aunt soon, I'm so excited just thinking about it.
"Then I'll thank you on behalf of your little niece," Gu Yunshu said with a smile.
Xia Qingqing suddenly realized something: "Little niece? Sister Yunshu, didn't you say you were only three months pregnant? Could it be that the gender can be found out so quickly?"
She had no doubt that it was possible to determine a baby's gender in the apocalypse, since the order of the world had long been in chaos. But if she remembered correctly, it would take at least four months to determine the baby's gender.
"Not yet. The doctor said we'll know the gender in another month, but I think it's definitely a girl. There's a saying that sour foods mean a boy and spicy foods mean a girl, and I've been really into spicy food lately," Gu Yunshu said firmly.
She didn't care about any of that. All she wanted was a soft and adorable daughter, preferably as cute as Qingqing. Just thinking about a tiny, soft, and adorable baby would melt her heart.
Hearing this, Xia Qingqing pursed her lips, unwilling to dampen Gu Yunshu's spirits. Instead, she smiled and said, "I've also heard that pregnant women become more beautiful. Sister Yunshu's skin looks much better than it did a while ago."
"Right? I think so too," Gu Yunshu raised her hand and touched her fair and smooth face. She had been wondering why her skin had been getting better and better lately. It turned out to be thanks to her daughter. No wonder she was her precious darling.
Seeing that Gu Yunshu was happy, Xia Qingqing said many nice things to coax her, making her beam with joy.
......
When Xie Jing returned, the first thing he did was to ask Gu Yunshu if she was feeling unwell that day: "Yunshu, did you have a good appetite at noon? Did you feel nauseous while eating?"
"No, my precious daughter is very well-behaved," Gu Yunshu said proudly.
Hearing this, Xie Jing looked at Gu Yunshu's belly with a hint of doting affection: "Baby is so good~".
"Look at you, so silly," Gu Yunshu said with a smile, giving him a reproachful look.
Xie Jing wasn't angry at all; instead, he laughed even more happily, as if his relationship with Gu Yunshu had become even closer since he found out she was pregnant.
Although they were very close before, Xie Jing was always worried that Gu Yunshu would abandon him at any time. Now that they have a child, he can be considered a father who has gained status because of his daughter.
And just thinking about having a daughter who looks like Gu Yunshu in the future warms his heart.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Yunshu asked, noticing him staring blankly at his stomach. She raised her hand and swept it across his face.
Xie Jing said with a smile, "I think our daughter will definitely look a lot like you when she is born."
“No, it’s better not to be like me,” Gu Yunshu said, frowning immediately upon hearing this.
Xie Jing looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why? I think it's good that our daughter looks like you; she must be very beautiful."
Gu Yunshu admitted that her face was indeed quite good-looking, but her eyebrows and eyes had a somewhat heroic air about them. She hoped that her precious daughter would be an adorable little princess.
Xie Jing was amused by her words. He didn't expect Yun Shu to have such thoughts. Actually, he thought it was fine for a girl to have a more heroic appearance.
At least, he really liked it.
