Chapter 6 Love Moon 006 "Only forty...
When He Chuyue received the call from Xiao Zhiyan, she was curled up on the sofa with her arms and legs hugging her stomach. The pain in her limbs and lower abdomen made her too weak to reach for the phone on the coffee table.
It wasn't until the second ring that Latte finally reached the phone and held it in his mouth and handed it to He Chuyue.
"Xiao Zhiyan."
The tone that was so weak that it seemed to be blown away by the wind in his ears instantly made Xiao Zhiyan's expression tense, and his left foot almost staggered as it stepped onto the stairs.
His throat tightened: "What's wrong with you?"
"I...my stomach aches."
-
In the emergency room, He Chuyue sat in a chair doing nothing.
On the way here, she had prepared for the worst, but the closer she got to the hospital, the less pain she felt in her abdomen, until now she felt nothing at all...
"Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time. If he was sent later, even the gods would not be able to save him. As a parent, you think the boy is honest and steady, but you are stubborn in love? I don't believe that your wife has been in a state of emotional ups and downs recently, and you can't feel it at all? Staying up late and overworked can affect the fetus and cause miscarriage, you know? These are basic common sense. If you don't even know these, how can you be a husband and a father?"
The doctor's rebuke brought her back.
The cold light from the hospital shone on the shoulders of the man who lowered his head, adding an invisible layer of dazzling light.
He Chuyue had never seen Xiao Zhiyan being blamed. In college, he was always considered a genius by his teachers. He would never make mistakes, and he would never have the opportunity to make mistakes.
It seems as if he is always standing on the top of the mountain and is a lucky person who can easily achieve success.
He Chuyue could never have imagined that one day he would be scolded in front of her without a single word to defend himself.
It was clearly not his fault, but he insisted on taking it on.
The windows on the side of the figure are filled with ink, highlighting the slightly lower curve under the upright figure. Somehow, He Chuyue inexplicably thought of the injured crane, perched beside the clear spring, nodding its head and pecking its feathers.
Unspeakable emotions tugged at her heartstrings, and she bit her lower lip and looked away.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Zhiyan had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, unlike the family members he had seen before who shirked responsibility, so the doctor gave medical advice and let him go.
"Stay in the hospital for one night for observation. Remember not to fall asleep while keeping watch. Look at how thin your wife has become. She needs to get enough nutrition. She doesn't take pregnancy seriously at all. Pay more attention."
"Thank you, doctor. I'll remember that."
The doctor even glanced at Xiao Zhiyan before leaving, not only because of his humble attitude, but also because of that face. He always felt like he had seen it somewhere and it looked familiar.
The footsteps disappeared, and Xiao Zhiyan came over with the medical record. He looked at his face, which had regained some color, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
He Chuyue shook her head.
She was a little absent-minded, her thoughts on what the doctor had just said.
She almost had a miscarriage.
She raised her hand and touched her lower abdomen. She felt nothing there, but she could subjectively feel that there seemed to be a reaction under her palm.
What a strange feeling.
So, if the baby is aborted tonight, what will be Xiao Zhiyan’s reaction?
"Where are you going?" Xiao Zhiyan stopped He Chuyue who was getting ready and reminded her, "The doctor said you need to be hospitalized for observation."
Latte's sobs before closing the door seemed to ring in her ears, and she directly refused: "No, I'm fine now."
He shifted his gaze to Xiao Zhiyan's face as he was about to speak, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he asked, "If the child is gone, will it affect your decision?"
There were only the two of them in the emergency room. He Chuyue was so quiet that she suspected she heard Xiao Zhiyan's breathing pause. Before she had time to think about it, she was stunned when she heard the calm and firm denial.
"Why?"
"He Chuyue, is that you? The ward is ready, come with me." The nurse interrupted their conversation.
He Chuyue, who was still in a daze, was not quite convinced by Xiao Zhiyan's answer. Xiao Zhiyan carefully helped her up and walked her to the ward. Halfway through, she came to her senses and began to struggle.
"I'm not in the hospital, Latte is still at home, I came out suddenly, I have to go back quickly - ugh -"
He Chuyue slowly straightened up, feeling the familiar fabric in her hands and the lines of the arm under her hands. She looked at her suit pants covered with saliva and felt a twitch in her temples.
She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Zhiyan's face, but the person in question acted as if it was not his pants that were soiled. He did not push her away, but instead took a tissue and handed it to her.
"Thank you. Sorry, I will compensate you for your clothes." Then she added, "And the coat you left for me last time has been dry-cleaned and is in my car."
"Need not."
He Chuyue looked at the man who was wiping his pants calmly and frowned.
Is this Xiao Zhiyan who had a passionate night with her that night?
Sitting down on the hospital bed, He Chuyue listened to the nurse talking about precautions. Perhaps she was worried about Latte, and her last bit of patience ran out. She supported herself on the bed and tried to get up.
"I said I'm fine, I don't want to be hospitalized, I want to go home!"
"Please control your emotions and don't let them fluctuate too much, as it will affect the baby and your own health." The nurse wanted to hold He Chuyue down, but found that the person next to her was already one step ahead of her.
"Don't worry, we'll be home soon."
Patting the back of her hand gently, Xiao Zhiyan's gentle voice fell into her ears, dispelling her suddenly rising emotions.
He Chuyue didn't care whether the sound was loud or not. Instead, she held his hand and explained rationally, "I'm not angry. We left too suddenly. I don't know how anxious Latte must be at home. You absolutely cannot stay in the hospital overnight. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore. I'm not uncomfortable at all. There's no need for me to stay in the hospital!"
"I know."
Xiao Zhiyan's voice was like a gentle breeze, which blew away the haze that covered He Chuyue's vision and allowed her to see herself clearly.
Her tense body relaxed.
Somehow, she actually believed what Xiao Zhiyan said and believed that he would do what he said.
Seeing that He Chuyue's rapid breathing had calmed down, Xiao Zhiyan was relieved. Still in a leaning position, he looked at the nurse and said, "Can I observe for two hours?"
The nurse looked embarrassed, but in order to take care of He Chuyue's feelings, she did not refuse immediately: "I want to ask the doctor."
"Thank you."
The nurse's departure made the ward quiet again, and also allowed He Chuyue to see everything around her clearly.
There are three beds in the ward. They are in the one by the window. There is an empty bed in the middle. The bed by the door is occupied by a couple. The woman's belly was unusually large. When He Chuyue saw it, she forgot to hide her surprise and met the woman's smiling eyes.
"Don't be afraid." She had a happy smile on her face and raised her hand to touch her belly. "I'm having twins, so my belly is much bigger."
His abruptness was impolite after all, but because the woman's explanation interrupted He Chuyue's apology, he could only respond with the same smile and open the topic: "Is it... the due date is approaching?"
"Yes, in the past two days." The woman's husband answered, his face full of joy, "This way she can unload the baby, just relax. It's not easy for a mother to be pregnant for ten months. She has worked so hard during this period."
The woman scolded him, but a smile spread across her lips: "How can you say that to your son? Be careful that he will be unhappy and torture me."
Perhaps realizing that there were others around, the two of them stopped talking. The woman then looked at Xiao Zhiyan next to them and their clasped hands, and smiled, "Look how reserved he is. His actions express everything, unlike you who only talk."
The man looked over unconvinced, and He Chuyue was also confused.
Why do you say that?
"Oh no! It's just holding hands! Come on, give me your hand!"
“Bang!”
He Chuyue shook off Xiao Zhiyan's hand.
No one knew how much force she used, but the unsuspecting Xiao Zhiyan was pushed by inertia and hit the footboard of the bed.
"...I'm sorry."
He Chuyue bit her hand, subconsciously glanced at the stain on his leg, and closed her eyes.
Today is really a bad day!
"It doesn't matter."
A light response came from above her head, and He Chuyue increased the frequency of her mouth until she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. Her wrist was held, and the thumb in her mouth was moved away from her lips.
"What are you doing?"
He was bent over, and perhaps because of the action of lowering his head, they were very close to the ground, so close that He Chuyue could vaguely smell his scent and the breath falling on her head.
Her wrist fell into his palm, making her hand seem even smaller under his big hand. The surprise between a man and a woman stimulated He Chuyue's eyes.
His face flushed, and without waiting for her to look away, the latter just threw out two words.
“It’s dirty.”
"......"
Before she could say that he didn't dislike her, Xiao Zhiyan took out a pack of wet wipes from somewhere and stuffed it into her palm.
"Wipe it."
Although her hand was released, He Chuyue's frown did not relax.
Why is he sometimes treated as a troublesome student and sometimes as a kindergarten kid who has no knowledge of hygiene?
Is she mentally retarded in his eyes?
The evil fire that was about to rise up again was interrupted by the bed opposite.
"You're not pregnant yet, are you? I don't think you're pregnant yet, so why are you in the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Zhiyan continued: "Yes, only forty-nine days."
He Chuyue wiped her hands slowly and looked up at Xiao Zhiyan, whose chin was only visible.
...remember it so clearly.
"Oh, that's terrible, we have to take it seriously!" The couple's faces changed when they heard it. "We have to pay more attention to it. The first three months are the most worthy of attention and the easiest to make mistakes. We can't be careless."
"Yes, yes, yes." The man immediately added, "Brother, I see that you are younger than the two of us. As a person who has been through this, I would like to remind you that you should not be impatient. At least wait until things are stable before...right? Just bear with it. We are all men. I understand."
"......"
"......"
"He Chu——eh?"
The nurse who had just left looked at the two people blushing and paused before saying, "The doctor said to observe for another half an hour, and if there is no problem, you can leave."
Xiao Zhiyan coughed lightly, his expression unnatural: "Thank you."
He Chuyue imitated the parrot.
Nurse:......?
The air conditioning temperature in this ward is not high.
...
When he got back into the black SUV, He Chuyue felt like everything that had just happened was just a dream. The mood is completely different from before, but the road is the same.
Looking at the driver's seat, He Chuyue wanted to speak but didn't know how to start. It seemed that the incident that happened in the ward had shrouded the two of them in a strange form, depriving them of the right to communicate.
“Ahem.”
Seeing Xiao Zhiyan looking at her from the corner of her eye, He Chuyue touched her lips and said, "Thank you for tonight."
“It should be.”
The topic ended, He Chuyue didn't believe it: "Are you really going to marry me?"
She already had the answer in her heart, but somehow, she wanted to hear him admit it again.
"real."
"......"
It was so concise that He Chuyue's lips twitched. She asked patiently, "What's your reason?"
"Go back and tell me."
"......"
Depend on!
It seems that the opening remarks she had been thinking about for a long time were a waste of time? People don't want to talk at all? !
Staring at Xiao Zhiyan who was driving, he looked straight ahead seriously, not paying any attention to the flames above someone's head.
The remaining rationality made He Chuyue unwilling to turn away, for fear that she would not be able to control herself and beat the man up, resulting in three deaths in the car.
There was silence in the car, and when they were about to pass the convenience store in front of the community, Xiao Zhiyan spoke.
"how are you feeling?"
He Chuyue glared at him again, unhappily: "Go back and talk!"
"......"
