How are rice balls born?
If she hadn't eaten two extra bowls of rice that night, her stomach would probably be flat as a pancake by now, and a touch would give her away immediately. Even through the blanket, it wouldn't work, since it was the boss's hand.
He has wielded knives and guns, and even broken someone's nose with a single punch. His hands are more powerful than any motion sensor.
Bai Lu used all her might to pinch her thigh tightly, maintaining the smile on her face that was about to break down.
She answered seriously: "The doctor who diagnosed me at the hospital said that pregnancy usually lasts about nine months. I need to be more careful during the first three months of pregnancy. After three months, the fetal development will be stable, and there shouldn't be any major problems. The doctor also said that I can do some exercise, which will be beneficial for delivery."
After casually throwing out the key point to get the ball rolling, Bai Lu counted on her right hand with her left hand, "Hmm... judging by the time, the baby should be born in a little over three months, with the due date around July."
Xiao Cheng lowered his eyes in thought, his hand resting on the blanket tapping lightly a few times with his fingertips, seemingly disagreeing with the claim that exercise is beneficial for childbirth.
As time passed, even his originally calm brows furrowed slightly.
I have no idea where he's gone off to.
Bai Lu quickly racked her brains for a new solution before he could refuse.
"Actually, I don't have to go out and sell roasted chestnuts. We can make money in other ways!"
Xiao Cheng raised an eyebrow, the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue replaced by a silent gaze, indicating that he was all ears.
Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "We can cooperate with Aunt Wu. She sells fruit on the street, right? She has a stall and customers. We can make roasted chestnuts for her to sell, and split the profits 50/50."
"Fifty-fifty split?"
The way Xiao Cheng looked at Bai Lu was like looking at a stupid child who hadn't even gone to elementary school, couldn't do math, and was just sticking his head out to get chopped off.
The silly kid, feeling embarrassed and angry, pinched his arm, his face turning red with rage: "It's 50/50 after deducting costs!"
Xiao Cheng chuckled softly as his arm felt like it was being scratched by an angry little rabbit's claws.
"oh……"
Oh what? Can't I just say yes?
Bai Lu glared at him angrily, but her smile faltered. "If I give the chestnuts to Aunt Wu to sell, I won't have to run around anymore. Are you relieved now?"
Xiao Cheng looked at the girl's puffed-up cheeks, his gaze gradually deepening before settling on her stomach.
"As long as the child agrees, that's fine."
How could Rice Balls agree? They don't need to wait until tomorrow; most of it has already been digested!
Bai Lu felt that he was just being difficult.
He loves children so much, but why doesn't he treat Xiao Wei well normally? He only spoils her because of her pregnancy.
She would feed him candy or meat, afraid that her child would go hungry or not get enough nutrition. She would even wash her own clothes while she was washing them, afraid that her child would get tired.
The more she thought about it, the more speechless she became. Bai Lu simply ignored it, lifted the blanket, and exposed her belly. "I don't know if the baby agrees. Why don't you ask him yourself?"
If you can communicate with your mind, then come!
Xiao Cheng was taken aback by her sudden frankness. Usually, when he touched her belly, she would become so nervous that her whole body would stiffen and she wouldn't dare to move from head to toe.
At this moment, she was actually going to stand up to him from head to toe for the sake of selling roasted chestnuts, such a trivial matter.
His courage has grown...
A hint of appreciation rose in Xiao Cheng's eyes as he slowly reached out and touched the thick white knitted sweater.
It's still a bit cold now, so she always likes to sleep in a sweater and trousers. When she gets up, she puts on a thick cotton coat and thick cotton shoes, wrapping herself up from head to toe.
Her coarse linen clothes could conceal her shapely figure, but they couldn't hide her unique temperament.
Xiao Cheng's eyes were unfathomable as he lowered his hand.
The calm, unhurried breathing, rising and falling steadily with the girl's lower abdomen, leaped into my palm. Apart from the relaxation that was different from the usual tension, I felt nothing else.
Bai Lu's body stiffened for a moment, after all, there were only rice balls inside, so she couldn't escape her subconscious reaction.
"Um, did the baby agree?" she asked, forcing herself to speak, trying to keep her breathing steady.
Xiao Cheng could hear the tension in her voice again. After a moment of silence, he replied with a single word.
"without."
That's the most normal answer.
Bai Lu felt a mix of laughter and tears, a bittersweet feeling, unsure whether to feel at ease or panicked, whether to interrupt or continue this nonsensical communication of thoughts.
After thinking about it, I decided to lie down.
Forget about the blanket; we'll talk about that after the boss and Rice Ball have finished their discussion. The most important thing right now is the answer. "What if Baby doesn't answer?"
"Then we'll just keep waiting."
The man spoke casually and matter-of-factly, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
Bai Lu turned her head in disbelief, only to see that the man who had been sitting by the bed was now lying down.
The large hand that was on her stomach remained on her stomach, unmoving.
However, another long, slender hand with distinct knuckles had already pulled the blanket over them.
Yes, that's right, cover them all up!
He was still covered with her blanket!
Two people build it together!
Bai Lu was stunned for a long time before she stammered, "You, you, are you going to keep touching me... until dawn?"
It's obvious.
"Hmm." Xiao Cheng nodded expressionlessly.
Bai Lu couldn't help but take a deep breath, and her stomach inevitably heaved greatly. The hand covering it rose and fell like a small mountain with her movements.
Will I still be able to breathe if this pressure is applied until tomorrow?
They kept touching it until dawn.
Bai Lu felt that those words were somewhat vulgar.
But when she looked up, the man's cold and unchanging face, and his calm and indifferent eyes, clearly conveyed: 'I'm not interested in you, I'm only interested in the child.'
It has absolutely nothing to do with thugs.
All right……
Bai Lu admits defeat; after all, she slept with him all night, so she'll just consider it reciprocity.
Anyway, it's just touching, no, just putting his hand on her stomach. He'll give up if he doesn't get a result.
Or, she turns around and her hand falls.
Bai Lu finally mustered her courage, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and counted the sheep until she reached one hundred.
Then, without realizing it, she turned around.
With your back to someone, facing the wall.
I thought the hand covering my stomach would fall off with the movement, but whether she turned too slowly or too quickly, the cool hand didn't fall off.
Instead, it landed squarely on her waist.
Bai Lu: "..."
I was so devastated.
The image of ten thousand horses galloping can only be described as "wanting to cry but having no tears."
From Xiao Cheng's perspective, he could only see the girl's motionless back, her soft, long hair draped over the pillow, and her slender arms, wrapped in a sweater, bent upwards and inwards, probably resting on her face, just like her usual sleeping posture.
The room was dark, with only faint moonlight filtering in through the window, casting a halo of light on her profile.
