If there are no small black specks, it means there is no embryo, and chicks will definitely not hatch.
Bai Lu comforted the little guy by patting his head: "Don't be sad. These eggs can't be hatched. I'll go buy some groceries later and get you some mother eggs that can hatch chicks."
Xiao Wei stepped back: "Don't touch my head."
"But my hand touched your brother!"
Xiao Wei: "..."
They're using this trick again!
Women are such a hassle!
Bai Lu just wanted to touch his bowl cut. How could a child be so cute, always liking to get weird haircuts? Xiao Cheng's buzz cut looks better.
He was the most handsome guy on the street the moment he stepped out, the object of the girls' secret crushes who both loved and feared him, the dream lover they longed for day and night, and even widows were captivated by him.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard footsteps behind me.
Bai Lu turned around and saw the man she had boasted about touching stepping back from the courtyard gate.
The deep gaze that met hers from afar seemed to be saying, "Where did you touch me?"
Bai Lu wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Xiao Cheng had only come back to get some things. He aimed a bricklaying angle at the special red shuttle, but the one on the construction site was broken. As he brushed past her, a cool breeze, accompanied by a low chuckle, gently swept past her ear.
The sweeping made her entire ear burn, and her face was as red as if she had applied eighteen layers of rouge.
Xiao Wei had already slipped into the backyard to check on his old hen the moment he heard footsteps.
He now understood that Bai Lu and his brother's relationship was such that when things were good, they would share food.
When he's feeling down, make him suffer by eating chili peppers.
We can't afford to mess with any of them, so it's best to stay away.
...
As night falls, the sky is filled with stars and the moon hangs high. Here, there are no televisions, no internet, no cell phones, and no noisy nightlife.
Bai Lu sat at the wooden table, a wooden comb in her hand, combing her hair in front of a round mirror with an iron frame placed at an angle, but her eyes kept glancing towards the wooden bed in the mirror.
She's still organizing her thoughts.
Sitting by the bed, Xiao Cheng stared at her with his deep gaze and said, "Say what you want to say."
He wanted to turn off the light and go to sleep, but she kept combing her hair, glancing at him several times without saying a word.
Her long, flowing hair, like a waterfall, was jet black and glossy. She combed it back and forth repeatedly, but she didn't like to braid it, so no matter how smooth it was, it would get tangled if she kept combing it.
I don't know what I'm thinking, but I always hesitate for a long time before speaking, and I only open my mouth after being asked.
Caught peeking, Bai Lu sheepishly looked away.
She was actually waiting for the maltose syrup to cool down. After dinner, she boiled water, filled an enamel cup, put three maltose pieces inside, and prepared to melt them into syrup to present to the boss.
Who knew it would cool down so slowly? Even after placing it by the window to let the night breeze blow, it still wouldn't cool down for a long time.
She wanted to be attentive, but she didn't want to burn someone.
She reached out and touched it; it didn't seem as hot as before. Bai Lu immediately threw down the comb, held the enamel cup in both hands, and presented it to the big boss on the bed with a beaming smile.
"I made you some sugar water, try it, it's very sweet, I used three maltose grains!"
Xiao Cheng looked at the maltose syrup in front of him, which had become translucent and yellowish from top to bottom and inside to outside, and his eyes twitched almost imperceptibly.
Looking up, he met the girl's expectant smile, and his hand, which he hadn't intended to use, reached out.
I took the cup and took a sip.
"Cough—cough cough—"
She'd made the big shot choke! Bai Lu was so sorry, she quickly patted his back to help him catch his breath: "Are you alright?"
"The maltose syrup is very sweet and delicious, but you don't have to be in such a hurry. I won't take it from you. Drink it slowly, and I'll make you another cup when you're done."
Xiao Cheng was almost burned to death.
Hearing her words, he almost choked to death again.
The cloyingly sweet taste in his throat made him cough several times before he could barely swallow it.
Seeing this, Bai Lu assumed he liked it and, with a smile, pushed the maltose water he had taken away back.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes sparkling as she watched him drink.
Xiao Cheng lowered his deep eyes slightly, drank the maltose water in the cup in a few big gulps, got out of bed and went out to get hot water to rinse his mouth.
Of course, I shake the water until it's completely cooled before drinking it.
When Xiao Cheng came back in, Bai Lu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, had a piece of candy in her hand. She smiled sweetly and waved to him, saying, "You finished the maltose syrup. I bet you like maltose too."
See how thoughtful I am? I've even prepared candy for you.
Xiao Cheng's lips twitched slightly. He strode over, took the malt candy, and fed it to her personally.
"Eat more if you like."
Bailu: "???"
Isn't it what you prefer?
“Actually, roasted chestnuts with maltose are even tastier.” Bai Lu chewed the candy in her mouth and finally spoke up.
Then, she pulled out a chestnut from somewhere, peeled it, and put it to Xiao Cheng's mouth: "Try it, I just roasted it this afternoon, it's sweeter and tastier than last time."
Xiao Cheng glanced at the golden, glistening, and fragrant chestnuts in her hand, then remained silent, his dark, deep eyes fixed on her with an unfathomable gaze.
Bai Lu already knew that he had seen through her little trick. "I want to sell roasted chestnuts~"
If flattery doesn't work, then try something softer!
She refused to believe that Xiao Cheng's heart was harder than iron.
Whether Xiao Cheng was hard-hearted or not is unknown, but he certainly had a tough tongue: "If you're pregnant, don't run around everywhere."
Bai Lu really wanted to say that she wasn't pregnant.
But she doesn't have 30,000 yuan, nor has she accomplished anything great to offset the debt Xiao Cheng incurred for that so-called "child".
I wanted to use what happened this morning to negotiate a longer repayment period with him, but I wasn't sure how successful I would be.
Forget it, let's think of another way.
Bai Lu climbed into bed while thinking, so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't look where she was going and accidentally stepped on Xiao Cheng's foot.
The big boss didn't say a word, so she had no idea.
Back in my corner, I pulled the covers over myself and realized there was a pair of eyes staring at me.
Turning her head, she met a deep, vast sea of eyes, the dark currents of which coalesced into an arrow that lightly swept across her stomach.
Bai Lu had a sudden inspiration, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips as she looked at Xiao Cheng. Her voice was exceptionally gentle as she spoke: "The baby is already six months old and will be born soon. We need to buy formula, diapers, baby clothes, baby shoes, baby blankets, and baby jackets in advance..."
"Giving birth in the hospital costs money, and postpartum care requires even more nutrition, otherwise the baby won't get enough to eat. Although I think breastfeeding is better than formula, I'm so thin right now, and my body hasn't fully recovered to its best condition. If I don't get enough nutrition, I'll definitely need to prepare a second feeding plan... Giving birth costs money in many ways, so we need to prepare more money for unforeseen circumstances..."
She finally realized she was thinking about the child.
The coldness in Xiao Cheng's eyes lessened somewhat, and he slowly reached out and placed his hand over Bai Lu's stomach through the blanket.
She spoke softly, "How much longer until the baby is born?"
