Chapter 82
Hearing He Qin's words, Lu Xiaobai looked up at him, pouted and said, "You, you are so narcissistic."
After saying this, Lu Xiaobai blushed and quickly got out of his arms. He held the hem of his clothes to make a pocket, knelt on the ground, and picked up the fruits one by one.
Lu Xiaobai's awkward behavior fully proved He Qin's guess, making him unable to help but feel happy. However, he felt distressed when he thought of Lu Xiaobai being sad because he couldn't go home.
He Qin squatted beside him, helping him pick up the fruit while asking, "Where is your home? I'll go back with you."
When Lu Xiaobai heard this, he paused, then shook his head and whispered, "I can't go back. If I wanted to go back, I would have gone back a long time ago."
If he could go back, he wouldn't have waited until He Qin spoiled him so much that he didn't want to leave.
Lu Xiaobai didn't want to talk about this matter. Without waiting for He Qin to answer, he raised his hand to wipe his tears, showed him the fruit in his clothes, and then smiled and said, "We've picked it up. Let's go back."
"Um."
He Qin helped the man up and took his hand as they walked down the mountain step by step.
Lu Xiaobai held the fruit in his clothes in one hand, while He Qin held his other hand, but his mind drifted back to the modern era.
His parents doted on him because he was their only child. In fact, he had a younger brother, but his mother had a miscarriage due to poor health and has been unable to get pregnant since then.
So, he became the only child of his parents.
The Lu family's business was managed by his cousins, so he became the spoiled young master of the family who could do nothing.
Fortunately, he didn't have any dreams or ambitions, and was even satisfied with that kind of life. But for some reason, he suddenly appeared here.
I don’t know if my parents noticed he was missing.
Not knowing why he had to suffer here and face such a difficult choice, Lu Xiaobai lowered his head in grievance, tears filling his eyes.
It would be great if He Qin could leave with him, but if the main system's wish could take them away from here, I don't know if He Qin would be willing to do so.
At this moment, He Qin was concentrating on thinking about what Lu Xiaobai had just said.
He said that if he could go back, he would have gone back a long time ago. So, is he staying because he can't go back?
What’s more, there’s no going back. What does it mean to have no going back?
Why can’t I go back?
He Qin clenched his fists, remembering that Qi Yu seemed to have some clue about Lu Xiaobai's origins last time, but he didn't ask because he was worried that Lu Xiaobai would be scared. But now it seems that it is time to send a letter back to ask him.
The days in spring are still short. They didn't come out until the afternoon, and after being delayed for so long, it was gradually getting dark.
Looking at the fields that had become a little gray, Lu Xiaobai wiped away his tears, looked up at He Qin who was holding his hand, smiled quietly, then pulled his hand and said, "He Qin, I'm hungry."
He Qin turned around and saw Lu Xiaobai's eyes sparkling, with tears obviously in them, but with an infinite smile on his face. He looked so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.
In addition to morning sickness, it is also easy to feel hungry after pregnancy. When his mother was pregnant with his younger brother, she had to eat all the time.
Moreover, the severity of morning sickness varies from person to person. Lu Xiaobai doesn't vomit very often, but even so, He Qin feels very distressed. If he really vomits like his mother, his heart will be broken.
Lu Xiaobai's appetite has been poor recently. He Qin was a little worried about his health. He pursed his lips and asked, "What do you want to eat? Do you want fish soup?"
Lu Xiaobai is too thin, and fish soup is nutritious, so He Qin wants to nourish him.
But when He Qin mentioned fish soup, Lu Xiaobai immediately turned pale and shook his head: "No, I don't want to drink fish soup, I want to eat steamed buns, not fried ones, just the ones without taste."
Lu Xiaobai didn't want to eat greasy food. It wasn't that it was disgusting, but he just felt annoyed and didn't want to eat it.
Steamed bun?
He Qin: ...
Because wheat production has always been lower than that of other crops, no wheat was planted this year. Almost everyone in Lujia Village had no flour or wheat seeds at home, so there were no steamed buns to eat.
If you want to eat, you can only go to town to buy it.
He Qin pulled him along the edge of the field and said with a frown, "There are no steamed buns left in Lujia Village. Let's go to the town to buy some tomorrow."
Lu Xiaobai knew that there was no food in Lujia Village because almost all the edible food had been eaten up and everyone was eating vegetables and wild vegetables.
Even they have been mainly eating vegetables recently, because there is not much refined rice at home. They cook it for him once every morning and eat it in three times.
So poor!
Lu Xiaobai nodded, curled his lips and said, "Yeah, but I want to eat porridge tonight... Forget it, I'd better not eat it."
I originally wanted He Qin to put the remaining bowl of rice in the pot and cook it into porridge.
But halfway through his words he suddenly remembered that he always had to go to the toilet after eating porridge in the evening. Although there was a toilet, there would be noise every time. The sound was very penetrating at night. If he wanted to urinate without making any noise, he had to be skillful in urinating.
It’s too difficult, so forget it, he won’t eat it.
He Qin didn't understand Lu Xiaobai's thoughts. After hearing what he said, he subconsciously asked, "Why don't you eat again?"
Lu Xiaobai pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't want to stay up late."
Not only was there sound, but He Qin also told him that Lingyi and the others would hear it, which would be embarrassing.
Hearing this reason, He Qin was stunned for a moment, then he laughed when he remembered how Lu Xiaobai was shy when he got up at night, and then he took his hand and went home.
Lingsi had already prepared brown rice and fried vegetables, and was waiting for them to come back for dinner.
But after arriving home, He Qin did not eat directly. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves, took an egg from the cupboard, brought Lu Xiaobai's rice, and stood in front of the stove to make fried rice with egg.
Can He Qin cook?
Lu Xiaobai looked at He Qin's back in surprise, smelling the fragrance in the air, and asked in disbelief: "You, you are not the emperor, why do you cook?"
He Qin did not answer, but silently served the cooked rice and placed it in front of Lu Xiaobai.
Seeing that the master was embarrassed to answer, Lingyi smiled and said, "When he was still a prince, the master went out to gain experience. He almost knows how to make a fire and cook."
“So amazing.”
Lu Xiaobai's eyes were instantly filled with admiration, and he looked at He Qin happily.
The emperor can also make fire and cook. In the eyes of Lu Xiaobai, who knows nothing, he is really amazing.
Seeing the naked admiration and love in Lu Xiaobai's eyes, He Qin was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just curled his lips slightly and said, "Hurry and eat."
"good."
Lu Xiaobai quickly picked up the small bowl in front of him and started eating.
The meal was not much and was finished in two minutes.
Perhaps because the rice He Qin cooked was so fragrant, Lu Xiaobai's appetite increased greatly, and he didn't feel full even after finishing the rice in the bowl...
But because food was precious, each person was given one bowl of rice for each meal, and not a single spoonful would be left over.
So he could only endure it, pouting and putting down his chopsticks and saying, "I, I'm full, I'm going to wash my face..."
He Qin looked at his aggrieved expression and said with his head down, "I can't finish it."
Lu Xiaobai quickly looked up and asked in surprise, "Really?"
He Qin nodded, and Lu Xiaobai immediately picked up He Qin's bowl. He originally wanted to empty it all into the first bowl, but because he was afraid that He Qin would be hungry, he only emptied half of the bowl and put it back in front of He Qin: "You can't eat all night, you should eat something."
He Qin nodded: "Yeah."
This silly guy, doesn't he dislike his saliva?
Seeing that Lu Xiaobai even ate brown rice with such relish, He Qin felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.
Lu Xiaobai didn't notice anything. He ate the rice from He Qin's bowl and went to fetch water with a wooden basin to wash himself.
But He Qin looked at Lu Xiaobai's empty bowl in deep thought.
Because of her pregnancy, although Lu Xiaobai occasionally had a poor appetite, her appetite had increased, but there was almost no food here.
The brown rice and polished rice at home were almost gone, and due to the shortage of food in town, the price had increased nearly tenfold. It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but that it was out of stock.
Lu Xiaobai was picky about food, and only ate a small bowl of rice and some vegetables for every meal. He hardly ate meat, and even refused to eat bacon. Fresh meat was out of stock...
Lu Xiaobai was getting thinner and thinner, and He Qin was worried that he would become weak.
After thinking for a long time, He Qin slowly said, "From now on, we will take time to go hunting in the mountains every two days. We will take turns."
Lingyi nodded immediately after hearing this, bowed and clasped his hands: "Yes."
He Qin then wrote a letter and asked Lingyi to call back the other peregrine falcons he had trained before to deliver the letter. Based on his experience, he went to the mountains at night to catch a pheasant and asked Lingsi to stew it. Then he washed up and went back to his room.
Lu Xiaobai had already fallen asleep. He tiptoed onto the bed and was hugged by Lu Xiaobai as soon as he lay down.
Lu Xiaobai opened his eyes and looked at He Qin in confusion. After a while, he asked, "You came back so late. Where have you been? I almost fell asleep waiting for you."
"I……"
He Qin put his arm around him and thought for a moment before saying, "Your stomach isn't feeling well. Ling Si said you need to replenish it. I went to catch a pheasant and we'll be able to eat it tomorrow morning."
"Why are you catching pheasants so late at night?"
Lu Xiaobai rubbed his head against He Qin's chest and said in a muffled voice, "Let's go during the day. The mountain roads are hard to walk on, and you can't see at night. What if you fall into the ditch?"
He Qin: ...
He Qin smiled helplessly, picked up a small stone from the bedside and threw it out to extinguish the oil lamp, then said: "No."
He Qin will never fall in his life unless he is old or injured.
"Oh well."
Lu Xiaobai understood that ancient people knew martial arts and could see more clearly than ordinary people at night, so they should not fall.
He yawned and was about to go back to sleep when he suddenly thought of something. He then opened his eyes and asked expectantly, "Why haven't you been able to sleep lately?"
In order to prove that he was not "incompetent" and to prove that he had not given the "goods" to others, he no longer planned to hide it from Lu Xiaobai.
So, He Qin curled up the corners of his mouth in the darkness, smiled silently and asked: "Have you ever thought that you are pregnant?"
"Pregnant?"
This question confused Lu Xiaobai. He froze completely. After a long while, he stammered, "Pregnant, me?"
He Qin touched his belly with his big hand and said slowly: "Well, you."
Lu Xiaobai originally wanted to say it was impossible, but then he thought that boys in this world could also get pregnant.
Moreover, he thought that he would vomit whenever he saw fat or smelled bad odors these days, and he remembered that Ling Si said that it would take eight months for his vomiting to heal.
After eight months, including this period, it is almost nine months. If she stops vomiting after nine months, doesn’t that mean she is giving birth?
No wonder he always felt something was wrong. It turned out they were all lying to him, and what’s more, she was pregnant!
When Lu Xiaobai knew she was pregnant, her desire disappeared instantly.
He let go of He Qin's older brother and lay on the bed with no hope in life. Tears rolled down his cheeks and he choked out, "You're actually pregnant. You're not, you're not capable of it, aren't you? You said you couldn't get pregnant, so how did you suddenly get pregnant?"
He Qin once vowed that she would not get pregnant. At that time, they did not take any contraceptive measures, and as time went by, they really did not get pregnant. He always believed that He Qin could not make anyone pregnant.
But now she is suddenly pregnant. If it wasn't him who was pregnant, he would have suspected that someone else was cheating on him.
He Qin: ...
