Huo Haocheng remained excited throughout the night, only managing to sleep briefly before dawn, and then getting up promptly at six o'clock for morning training.
During the early training session, he wanted to share the good news that he was going to be a father with Ruan Shaoke and the others several times, but he had heard that you shouldn't tell others when the baby is less than three months old. So he swallowed the words back.
As soon as morning training started, he would ride his bicycle to the cafeteria, buy breakfast, and then rush home.
His actions were strange not only to Ruan Shaoke and his group, but also to Commander Gu and the political commissar who were watching his back in the canteen.
"Old Gu, what happened to Huo Haocheng today?" The political commissar asked Commander Gu, who was standing to the side, as he watched Huo Haocheng's retreating figure.
"I haven't heard of it?"
The two walked into the cafeteria with a puzzled look on their faces. They had just taken their breakfast and sat down when they saw Ruan Shaoke and his group walk in from the door.
The two immediately called them over, "Ruan Shaolin, you guys come here for a moment."
Seeing that it was the commander and political commissar who had called them, they assumed that there was some mission they needed to carry out, so they immediately went over.
"What's going on with Captain Huo today?" they wondered. They trained together every day and were inseparable. If anything happened to Huo Haocheng, he would definitely tell them immediately, which was why they were asked to come and ask.
"...Commander, Political Commissar, we don't know either. This morning during training, we felt like he wanted to say something to us, but he didn't say anything several times. It felt like he was teasing us. Just now, as soon as morning training ended, he rode off on his bicycle. Normally, when has he ever run so fast? And the strangest thing is that he actually rode his bicycle here today. Don't you think that's strange?"
Not to mention the commander and political commissar, they had also found their captain strange from the beginning. They always said that even though it was a few kilometers away, they insisted that it was only a few steps and made them run. Now, it was only a few kilometers from the regiment's training ground to their home, and he actually rode his bicycle here.
Hearing them say that, the commander felt even more puzzled. Knowing he wouldn't get anything out of them, he told them to go eat.
After the two finished their meal, the political commissar asked him if he wanted to go to Huo Haocheng's house first, since his wife was the commander's niece, and he could help out if anything happened to them.
Commander Gu thought about it and decided against it. He would ask Huo Haocheng when he returned later. Going to his house so early in the morning would not be a good idea. If the older women saw him, they might think that Huo Haocheng and his wife had done something wrong.
Therefore, Commander Gu told the soldiers on guard duty to go to Commander Huo's office as soon as they saw him arrive at the military headquarters.
After Huo Haocheng rode his bicycle home, he put down the meat buns and white porridge, then went to the bedroom to wake his wife up.
"Wife, sister, wife, get up quickly," he kept calling in her ear.
Enraged, Ruan Ruan slapped him in her sleep, groaned twice, turned over, pulled the blanket over her head, and went back to sleep.
With no other option, he resorted to his trump card: he pulled the blanket off her head, sat on the edge of the bed, pulled her into his arms, turned her face toward him, and then kissed her.
When she felt she could barely breathe, she opened her eyes and saw him still kissing her. She immediately pushed his head away.
"No, what's wrong with you today? I just wanted to take a nap, why did you have to wake me up?" Usually, she always sleeps until she wakes up naturally, so why is this person deliberately going against her today? Unable to understand, Ruan Ruan simply broke free from his embrace, rolled over to the other side of the bed, curled up in a ball, and tried to continue sleeping.
Huo Haocheng was startled by her sudden movements and immediately pulled her into his arms again.
"Honey, you're pregnant now, nutrition is very important, you absolutely must eat breakfast, okay? Let's get up and eat first, then go back to sleep, alright?"
Without giving her a chance to object, he carried her out of the bedroom.
After being carried out and seated on a stool, Ruan Ruan still felt confused.
"So you mean that before I was pregnant, I didn't need nutrition and it didn't matter whether I ate breakfast or not? Is that what you mean?"
She was already angry enough about being woken up because she hadn't slept well, but hearing his words made her even angrier, as if everything was just for the child and she was no longer important.
"No, honey, you are very important. I'm worried that if you don't eat breakfast, the baby will absorb your nutrients, and then your own nutrition will not be enough, which will be bad for your health. Honey, don't be angry. You know that you are the only one I care about the most. If getting pregnant is harmful to your health, then I can choose not to have the baby."
In Huo Haocheng's view, they didn't necessarily need to have a child. If having a child would harm her health, then he really didn't want the child.
Anyway, Huo Haoshi's wife is pregnant, and the Huo family will have an heir. It doesn't matter whose child it is. Besides, Huo Haoshen will be getting married soon, and the Huo family has plenty of people to have children, so they don't need to worry about this one.
Hearing Huo Haocheng's words, Ruan Ruan felt very touched. She also realized that what she had said earlier was a bit unreasonable, but when her temper flared up, she blurted out words without thinking. Now her anger had subsided, and her rationality had returned.
"What are you saying? How could you tell the child you don't want him? Apologize to him right now. Say, 'Baby, Mommy and Daddy are so happy. Thank you for coming to our home. We really welcome you.'"
