However, we can have a barbecue in our backyard tomorrow; an open-air barbecue would be perfect.
What are you thinking about?
"I'm thinking we should have a barbecue at home tomorrow."
“Okay.” You nodded approvingly. “That’s a good idea.”
"Perfect! Hot pot today, barbecue tomorrow!" I covered my mouth and chuckled to myself. I was so happy.
You tilted her head to look at me, a faint smile playing on her lips. "You're really easy to please."
"Isn't it good?"
I didn't dwell on the issue with You, and ran upstairs to wash up and change.
After I finished getting ready, I came downstairs. You was sitting leisurely in a chair waiting for me. When she saw me come down, she looked up at me and smiled.
You always likes to look at me and smile.
"Let's go." I smiled back at You and then took her arm.
"good."
You and I went to our usual hot pot restaurant, which is also near our home. The food was pretty good.
Yu and I sat on one side. When we eat out, I like to sit on the other side with Yu.
The hot pot was ready in no time, billowing thick smoke. I happily picked up a piece of crisp tripe and put it into the pot.
Tripe shouldn't be cooked for too long, five seconds is enough.
I silently counted the numbers, and when it was done, I scooped it out and put it in my mouth. It was just right; it would have been cooked in one more second.
"Here, your favorite beef." You picked up a piece of cooked beef and put it in my bowl.
"Okay, you eat too." I also picked up a piece and put it in You's bowl.
You and I ate two plates of beef, one plate of tripe, beef balls, duck blood, some green vegetables, and soft, glutinous potatoes.
I patted my stomach; I was full.
I was about to ask You when she spoke first, "Have you finished eating?"
"Mm." I nodded gently.
After You paid the bill, I walked back with her.
The first thing we did after we got home was to wash up. After I finished washing up, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.
Lately, I've been very sleepy.
The next day, I was woken up by a phone call.
"Hello?" I groggily picked up the phone on the table and answered.
"Wisteria is about to give birth." It was Gu Yue's voice on the other end of the phone.
My drowsiness vanished instantly, and I was wide awake. "Really? I'm coming right now."
After hanging up the phone, I said to You, "You, Zifeng is about to give birth. Get ready, I'm going to be with her."
"Okay." You nodded calmly in response.
I glanced at You, who was unusually calm, and felt a little strange. It was as if You had known all along that the wisteria would bloom today.
I shook my head, trying to clear my mind of the strange thoughts. You had always been indifferent to Zi Teng, so it was normal for her to look like this even though she knew Zi Teng was about to give birth.
After all, it's not You's child, so why should You be nervous?
This time, my dressing and grooming process was faster than ever before.
"You, hurry up and get the car."
"good."
You and I rushed to the hospital where Zifeng was staying. Luckily, Zifeng had already sent me the address.
As if things weren't going to go wrong, the road that's never congested before is jammed today.
I was torn between abandoning the car and using magic to get to the hospital, but that would be too conspicuous. Leaving an expensive car on the street would definitely attract attention.
Forget it, let's wait a bit longer. If the traffic jam continues, I'll use magic to get to the hospital.
Perhaps my sincere prayers were heard by the heavens, for the congested traffic actually began to move.
I was secretly delighted; thankfully, I made it in time.
The rest of the journey was smooth and unobstructed until we reached the hospital entrance.
I got out of the car first and waited for You at the door. After a while, I saw You walking slowly in the distance. I quickly ran a few steps and pulled You to walk faster. "It's time to hurry up, the wisteria might sprout soon."
You ignored me and just ran around aimlessly behind me.
I don't have time to deal with You's emotions right now. There are just too many things to do today, so I dragged You to the hospital.
She followed me leisurely, saying casually, "Maybe she's already been born."
"What did you say?" My heart sank as I turned to ask.
You lowered his eyes and avoided my gaze. Seeing You like this, I was too lazy to ask him anymore. It was more important to go up and take a look first. Once I got up there, I would know what was going on.
I asked the receptionist, who then asked for my name and looked at my ID before assigning a nurse to show us the way.
"I'm sorry, because Zifeng and Guyue are celebrities, we were worried that they might be paparazzi." The nurse apologized to us as she led You and me ahead.
"It's nothing." I shook my head indifferently; all I wanted to see right now was the wisteria.
"Don't worry, Zifang's pregnancy is fine, there's nothing wrong." The nurse noticed my anxiety and spoke to me reassuringly while we were waiting for the elevator.
"Hmm," I replied absentmindedly.
We took the elevator directly to the fifteenth floor, and I spotted Qingzhen's figure in the corridor from afar.
"Qingzhen?! What are you doing here?" I rushed to Qingzhen in a panic. "Shouldn't you still be in the village?"
"The village has always been safe and sound." There are so many people around us, but Qingzhen didn't go into details about the mountain village, only saying that everything was fine.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, a little curious. Was Qingzhen here to keep Zifeng company too? When did they get together?
"I asked Qingzhen to come and keep me company." Surprisingly, Zifeng's strong voice came from inside the house.
Judging from the appearance, the wisteria hasn't sprouted yet.
"Nurse, may I ask those two ladies to come in? I feel more at ease with them here." I heard Qingzhen's voice through the door.
Then, the door opened.
"You two come in," the nurse said to Qingzhen and me.
"Okay." Qingzhen and I exchanged a glance and followed her inside.
You wanted to come in too, but the nurse wouldn't let her.
I also felt it was a bit strange to let You watch another woman give birth, so I turned to You and said, "You wait for me here."
You looked at me, raised an eyebrow, and remained silent.
"It's okay, it's just one door. I'll call you if I need anything."
You gave me a meaningful look. "Then go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
"good."
After I finished speaking with You, I turned around and went into the wisteria room.
I think You are overthinking it. Today is the day when Wisteria gives birth, and it is also the time when Wisteria is at its weakest. How could Wisteria harm me?
"Hey? Where's your husband? Isn't he coming in?" I looked around but couldn't find Gu Yue.
“I didn’t let him in. It’s better not to let him see a woman giving birth.”
The nurse standing next to the wisteria nodded approvingly, "That's right, many husbands have psychological trauma after watching their wives give birth."
I felt a sliver of disdain. What pressure? When a woman is so vulnerable during childbirth, why doesn't she let her husband, the father of her child, be there for her? Is she afraid her husband will be traumatized? What about the woman? She's experiencing real pain.
