Qin Zifu and Qi Jingchen stood hand in hand, and Li Wen suddenly felt that the scene was particularly beautiful, so he quickly took a picture.
Under Qi Jingchen's meticulous care these past few days, Qin Zifu has been able to go to all the places she wanted to go and do all the things she wanted to do. Li Wen and Xiao Qi acted as photographers, taking many photos of the two of them.
Qin Zifu posted a set of nine group photos to share her trip with everyone.
—: As expected, rich people can go wherever they want.
—: It seems she's not pregnant, otherwise why would she go to such a far and cold place?
——: When can I go see the aurora borealis?
—When will I get a partner to go see the aurora with?
—: I think the other set is so beautiful, it feels like being on the moon. What place is this?
—: Feels like a post-apocalyptic blockbuster
—: It has to be said, both of them are very good-looking; even dressed like this, the photos are still beautiful.
This is Qin Zifu and Qi Jingchen's last night here. They will be going back tomorrow. They spent Christmas and New Year's Day here.
"This made my entire pregnancy go by so quickly, and I wasn't bored at all."
"Where else do you want to go? I'll take you there."
"Not at the moment. Chinese New Year is just over a month away; we can talk about it after the holiday."
"good"
The day after they returned, Qin Zifu and Qi Jingchen went for an NT scan. The two of them spent a full two hours in the ultrasound room because one of the babies was not cooperating.
Qin Zifu saw the two babies through the screen again, and even took out her phone to record a video and sent it to the family group so that everyone could see it, mainly so that the grandfather could see his great-grandchildren.
"Okay, I've finally finished watching both."
The doctors were exhausted from seeing twins; that's how it is with twins—at first, you can't even see the angles of the two babies.
"Thanks"
Passing the preliminary anomaly scan is like passing another hurdle, signifying that you've passed the first trimester, which is commonly referred to as the first three months of pregnancy.
For Qin Zifu, the first three months were not difficult. At first, she just didn't want to eat and was sleepy, but she hardly vomited, and then there was no other reaction.
Her lower abdomen has only recently started to show a slight bulge. If it were a single pregnancy, it might not be noticeable yet. Her weight hasn't changed much either, and her figure is as slender as before pregnancy. She still walks briskly.
When they left the hospital, Qi Jingchen pulled her coat tighter and put his arm around her as they got into the car.
After getting into the car, Qin Zifu took off her coat, revealing a soft cashmere sweater underneath. She gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, stroking it lightly. This was probably the last period before she started to show her pregnancy; in the second trimester, the twins would grow very quickly.
After New Year's Day, Qi Jingchen became even busier. He also had to go on a business trip, shortening his week to just three days before returning. His employees worked overtime to catch up on the work.
"Don't stay up late, don't be too busy. I have so many people taking care of me every day, what are you worried about?"
"Miss you"
Qi Jingchen would never have gone on this business trip if he hadn't been unable to refuse.
Before they knew it, the New Year was almost here. This was their first year of marriage, and Qin Zifu and Qi Jingchen discussed it and decided to spend the New Year at Qi's family home. So they stayed there on the 29th, and after dinner, they went out to digest their food.
It's been almost five months, and Qin Zifu's belly seems to have suddenly grown bigger. She was wearing a cashmere dress and a coat over it. Qi Jingchen had wrapped a scarf around her twice, covering most of her face. It had snowed a few days ago, and Qin Zifu was wearing flat boots and had stepped in the snow a few times.
"Baby, don't step on it there."
The roads were spotless, but I insisted on stepping on the snow near the greenery.
"It's alright, everything's fine."
Qin Zifu's hand was held by Qi Jingchen and put into his coat pocket.
"Is that hand cold?"
"fine"
Qin Zifu kept her other hand in her pocket, where it wasn't very warm.
The atmosphere in Beijing at this time of year is still quite festive. The streetlights are all lantern-shaped and bright red, and the trees around are decorated with small colored lights, making it look like a dazzling display of lights.
Many people who usually work in Beijing have gone home for the Spring Festival, making the city seem much less crowded. Qin Zifu hasn't really seen Beijing properly during the New Year period in a long time.
My earliest memory is from when I was a child, when fireworks were still allowed in the city and we could watch them. Now, fireworks are banned throughout the city.
"I can take you to other cities to watch fireworks."
Qi Jingchen squeezed her palm, as if he knew what she was thinking.
"Let's go next year. Enjoy the Lunar New Year at home this year."
She didn't want to go anywhere anymore; she wanted to stay home with her family and her dear mother-in-law.
When the two returned, Qi Zheng and Yan Li were watching TV.
"You're back! The late-night snack will be ready in a bit. Have some; it's easy to stay up late these days during the Lunar New Year, so you won't get hungry at night."
In fact, the late-night snacks that Yan Li asked people to prepare were very simple, usually bird's nest and fish maw, or soy milk, because she heard that Qin Zifu was trying to control her weight recently, and that it was not advisable to eat too much before bed to avoid indigestion.
When the two of them came back, Aunt Zheng came back with them. During the Lunar New Year, some of the servants would go home for the holiday, leaving only a few to be responsible for three meals a day, as well as the housekeeper.
After Qin Zifu finished drinking the bird's nest soup, the two went back to their room to rest.
Yan Li watched the young couple go upstairs, her smile never fading. She was always happy to see her daughter-in-law; these things really depend on the mood and the occasion.
After returning to her room, Qin Zifu lay on her side on the bed, and Qi Jingchen gently placed his hand on her stomach.
"Her belly is growing so fast, it feels like it's being inflated like a balloon."
Qin Zifu became increasingly worried. If she got further along in her pregnancy, wouldn't she still have stretch marks on her belly?
Qi Jingchen tirelessly applied pregnancy oil to her every day, not only on her belly, but also on her inner thighs and buttocks, hoping to alleviate the symptoms.
"Are they growing a little too fast? Or are they just too big?"
The prenatal checkup said it was the normal size.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Qin Zifu wasn't too worried. Regardless of whether she developed stretch marks, she needed to have them thoroughly repaired after childbirth. Most of the postpartum treatments could alleviate the problem significantly, and the rest would have to wait for time to resolve.
The next day, Qin Zifu woke up very early. After all, it was the New Year. She didn't have many feelings about the New Year. When she was a child, she sometimes spent the New Year with her maternal grandparents, and sometimes she went to her paternal grandparents' house. Later, she simply spent the New Year with the whole family.
After that, she went to the army. When there were no missions, everyone would spend time together, have bonfire parties, and perform shows.
Then, during the Spring Festival after I went abroad, a few Chinese people who got along well with me would buy a lot of things together, cook and make dumplings together to celebrate the New Year.
This is her first New Year since returning home, and it's at the Qi family's house. In this year, she returned to China, worked, fell in love, got married, and became pregnant. It feels like she's done everything that other people do in several years.
Everything felt magical. She had wondered if she would go three, five, or even ten years without dating or having anyone she liked.
Who knew that the person she liked was right beside her, and she was pregnant with his child?
