Chapter 76
In her body, there is a small heart beating hard, so vigorously, so vibrantly.
It was not until this moment that she truly felt that she was nurturing a brand new life.
Shi Ye wiped the corners of her eyes with his fingers: "Why are you crying?"
Jiang Zhinian was also a little embarrassed, and she covered her face with tears in her eyes and said, "I just didn't expect it to jump so fast..."
Shi Ye began to pack up the equipment: "The fetal heartbeat can reach 110 to 160 beats per minute, which is much faster than that of an adult."
"Wait, I want to listen for a while longer." She took out her cell phone and wanted to record the wonderful sound just now.
Shi Ye had no choice but to cooperate with her: "Don't cry every time you hear it next time."
It is better to maintain a happy mood during pregnancy.
"No, I'm not that fond of crying. I was just so moved. Aren't you moved too?"
Shi Ye paused holding the instrument and smiled faintly: "I'm touched."
…
After dinner, Jiang Zhinian began searching online for stretch mark removal products. She carefully selected a few with good reputations and showed them to Shi Ye.
"Doctor Shi, please help me check if these are safe."
"Preventing stretch marks?" He took the bowl to the kitchen, wiped his hands, and looked at each item carefully.
"What's wrong?"
"From a medical perspective, there's currently no product that can truly remove stretch marks. As for prevention, from the perspective of evidence-based medicine, it can't be called prevention unless there's a double-blind trial proving its effectiveness."
Jiang Zhinian suspected that the straight-laced doctor didn't understand skincare products: "But I saw a lot of good reviews. Many people say that this doesn't cause stretch marks."
Shi Ye understood her look and deliberately gave her a sidelong glance: "Stretch marks are essentially caused by the rapid expansion of the skin during pregnancy. The way to deal with it is to control the size of the fetus and to maintain the elasticity of the skin."
This is also the reason why he has been helping Jiang Zhinian control the size of the fetus since the early stages of pregnancy.
"Although I'm not a dermatologist, I do have some basic medical knowledge. Things like skincare products can only act on the surface of the skin. Using some vitamin E or natural oils to maintain skin elasticity is enough. The rest depends on your genes."
According to the data, if the mother develops stretch marks during pregnancy, the probability of her daughter developing it is extremely high. If the mother does not develop stretch marks, the probability of her daughter developing it is low if the fetal weight is controlled well. Or if the daughter does develop stretch marks a little, they will disappear quickly after delivery.
"Besides that, drinking plenty of water and eating foods rich in vitamins C and E to maintain skin elasticity, combined with some exercise and massage, are much more effective than those skin care products that add some precious ingredients."
Jiang Zhinian turned off her phone, having been completely convinced by Shi Ye: "Doctor Shi, you know a lot."
"Do you believe me now?"
Jiang Zhinian felt guilty: "I've always believed in you."
Shi Ye went to the cabinet and found a bottle of vitamin E: "Let's go, since you are so worried, let's start the massage from today."
When Jiang Zhinian was pressed on the bed and her clothes were lifted up, she was completely dazed.
"I can do it myself." She was ticklish and had ticklish spots all over her body. "It's such a small matter, there's no need to bother the doctor."
"Lie down."
Jiang Zhinian didn't know why, but after Shi Ye looked at her, she just lay down obediently and didn't dare to move.
Shi Ye slowly squeezed out a vitamin E pill, poured it into the palm of his hand and rubbed it to warm it. His movements were graceful and his expression was calm. He didn't look like a husband who was about to give his wife a massage, but rather like a precious exhibit displaying itself in a window.
"When a husband massages his pregnant wife, it not only strengthens the bond between the couple, but also helps the parent-child relationship later on."
He gently placed his hand on Jiang Zhinian's lower abdomen and began to rub circles in one direction, acting as if he knew more about skin care than girls.
Jiang Zhinian grabbed the sheets beneath him, trying not to laugh.
But soon, she couldn't laugh anymore, because Shi Ye's hand began to move slowly down, as if to take off her pajamas.
"Thighs are also a common place for stretch marks," he explained.
"Wait, wait..." Jiang Zhinian grabbed Shi Ye's wrist, "My thighs are super ticklish."
The area on her thighs is extremely ticklish and sensitive, so it really can't be touched.
Shi Ye glanced down at her, his expression not quite believing it: "Really?"
"Really, really, I'm afraid I won't be able to help kicking you."
Shi Ye glanced over slightly, as if recalling something: "No wonder that night..."
When he pinched her thigh, she reacted so strongly that she hugged his neck tightly like a dying fish.
Jiang Zhinian didn't react at first. When she realized something from Shi Ye's unclear eyes, that scene also appeared in her mind. She quickly covered Shi Ye's mouth: "Don't say it."
Shi Ye took her hand away and said regretfully, "Remember to massage your thighs when you have time."
After saying that, he patted her lower back and asked her to turn sideways.
"Why..." Jiang Zhinian covered his butt and looked at Shi Ye warily.
"You can't do it on your thighs, but you won't feel itchy on your buttocks, right?" Shi Ye squeezed another vitamin E pill into his hand and rubbed it. "You can also get stretch marks on your buttocks, and you can't massage them yourself."
He looked upright and innocent, as if he was really just a good husband worried about his wife getting stretch marks.
But Jiang Zhinian saw a hint of teasing and mockery in his slightly moving eyes.
He definitely planned this for a long time and did it on purpose!
"No, that's fine. It doesn't matter if it grows longer. I can't see it anyway."
Jiang Zhinian secretly moved forward a little, trying to escape from Shi Ye's control and take the opportunity to escape.
But Shi Ye saw through her little trick immediately, and with a big hand he took her under his control again.
"Teacher Jiang, do you want to listen to the doctor?" Shi Ye hooked a finger on the elastic band at her lower back. "Besides, you can't see it, but I can."
Not only can I see it, but I also quite like its full feel and round shape.
"So, don't run away." Shi Ye looked at Jiang Zhinian struggling to grab his pajamas and found it quite cute. He couldn't help but tease her again, "You can't run away."
Jiang Zhinian didn't dare to struggle hard, for fear of hurting the child, but being held down by Shi Ye's big hands made her inexplicably feel like an antelope pinned to the ground by the sharp claws of a wild beast, trying to escape.
Especially the sentence "You can't run away", coupled with the tone of a scumbag who deliberately lowered his voice, made Jiang Zhinian's skin tingle. In a daze, his defenses were lowered, so... it's better not to mention it.
