Chapter 46: Peaceful Maternity Period (1)
More than two months after Chu Qi went on a business trip, the autumn sea gradually cooled down, and Chi Liu began to temporarily hand over the bar to Saito, ushering in a peaceful period of waiting for the birth of her baby.
In the bright and clean living room that was as warm as spring, Secretary Wen brought the last dish of fish out of the kitchen.
Chi Liu was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, a fever-reducing patch on her forehead, and an abnormally light blush on her pretty cheeks.
The young man was wearing loose pajamas. He had a slender body, his white neck was fragilely folded to the side, half of his face was sunken into the pillow, and his abdomen was bulging unnaturally high.
Even though he was so uncomfortable, his hands gently stroked his abdomen, as if to comfort the little one who was madly worried about the mother even when he was asleep.
Xiang Xiang also looked worried and was carefully putting a wool blanket on him.
The cat's eyes looked into the room, banging on the door anxiously, almost wanting to eat itself - but in the end it stayed at its post and didn't leave.
Secretary Wen put the hot fish stew on the table and sighed softly: Maybe because the temperature dropped drastically today, Chi Liu has a fever.
For the health of the fetus, when the fever does not exceed a certain temperature, pregnant humans cannot take medicine or receive general treatment. They can only cool down physically and use their own resistance to resist.
Chi Liu has had a cold for a few days and hasn't taken any medicine. Today he suddenly had a fever and has been having a fever for the entire afternoon.
Secretary Wen once again had a profound understanding of the fragility of human beings.
"Xiao Chi," Secretary Wen put the hot fish stew on the table and gently placed his hand on the young man's thin shoulder: "Get up and eat something?"
Chi Liu groaned drowsily, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he opened his eyes.
He half sat up, his voice a little hoarse: "Thank you for the time."
Secretary Wen laughed and said, "Speaking of these, getting well soon will be my thank you gift."
Chi Liu chuckled, poured himself and Xiang Xiang a bowl of milky fish soup, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth to chew carefully, raised an eyebrow and said: "Hmm, I will definitely work hard."
There is nothing you can do about being sick. Just eat well, sleep well, and get well soon.
Looking at the young man who was burned like this but still didn't cry out, Secretary Wen smiled gently and helplessly, and placed a cup of freshly made cherry juice in front of him.
Then he sat down and said as he picked up some food, "The baby will be born in a month. I checked the maternity bag again today. The milk bottles we bought before seem to be more suitable for older babies. I will go pick out a suitable one tomorrow."
Chi Liu blinked and said, "When he is born, I will recognize you as his godfather." Secretary Wen is so thoughtful.
Secretary Wen couldn't help laughing: "That's great." He twitched his lips and glanced at the peephole on the door: "As long as the child's biological father doesn't go crazy."
Chi Liu paused for a moment, lowered his eyes and locked some thoughts deep in his heart, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't go crazy."
Secretary Wen realized something belatedly and said hurriedly, "Generally, repairing a space cave requires closing the roads and communications. This is normal. No one over there can hurt the boss. Don't worry too much!"
It seems that the player with the strange space-dissolving ability is impossible to kill. Two months ago, he actually opened a cave in the vacation world!
He had a hunch that this time, in addition to repairing the space cave, the boss would also disrupt the peace of the players' spaceport - even for Xiaochi and the unborn baby, the boss would never let those guys go.
Fortunately, the vacation world is very peaceful now, without a single player!
Chi Liu: “I’m not worried about him.” How could he possibly worry about the evil god who could overturn all the worlds if he wanted to? Although, the evil god usually has holes in his brain!
Secretary Wen looked at the young man who subconsciously rubbed his sore arm joints after eating a bite of fish. He felt that his boss was a bit of a scumbag. He said hurriedly: "I believe that he will find a way to rush back before the baby is born!"
Chi Liu took a big sip of the delicious fish soup with white pepper and felt his heavy body become much more relaxed. He smiled and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if I can't make it back." If he didn't come back, would he not have given birth to this child?
Even if he rushed back, that man would not give birth to a child for him!
No matter how long Chu Qi was away on business, no matter how important moments in his and his friends' lives Chu Qi missed, his life had to go on - he couldn't be so depressed every day because of Chu Qi and ruin his life.
Secretary Wen saw that Chi Liu did not seem to be sad because of missing her, so he finally felt relieved and ate his meal in peace.
…
After dinner, the three of them watched TV as usual.
Today it was Secretary Wen’s turn to use the remote control, so the TV started playing Secretary Wen’s favorite anime - "Warrior Girl Naya"!
At the beginning of this episode, a lively blonde girl and her good friends are sitting in a late-night snack shop, about to eat a bowl of delicious ramen. The rich soup is not only topped with golden barbecued pork, soft-boiled eggs and tempura, but also a whole steaming grilled squid!
It looks so appetizing.
Chi Liu sat on the sofa, his whole body wrapped in a blanket, with only his head exposed. Although he was still running a fever, he was in much better spirits.
He looked at the bowl of ramen and blinked: "It looks delicious." In the later stages of pregnancy, morning sickness gradually eased, his appetite began to improve unprecedentedly, and he gradually fell in love with eating midnight snacks - this bowl of ramen must be a good midnight snack.
But Xiang Xiang's eyes were shining as he stared at the blue jellyfish bracelet on the heroine's wrist: "I really want it..." That little jellyfish looks like him~
Secretary Wen looked at the two childish people and laughed. He was just about to mention the Qiu Hai theme store and say that he could take them to eat noodles and buy peripherals tomorrow when Chi Liu suddenly made a "hmm" sound and leaned back.
Secretary Wen's expression tensed: "What?"
"Ah, it's okay." Chi Liu placed her hands on her bulging belly, curved her eyes, and smiled incredibly gently: "He (she) woke up."
In the past two months, the fetal movements have become more and more obvious and frequent. He can clearly feel the baby shaking his hands or feet.
At these moments, a secret joy would crawl up his spine - he felt so truly and clearly that a new life was taking shape in his body.
Xiang Xiang leaned over and curiously put his ear gently against Chi Liu's abdomen. He whispered in surprise: "The baby is really moving..."
The next second, an arrogant and soft voice rang in Xiang Xiang's mind: "Well, since you are a qualified subordinate, I will fulfill your wish!" Yesterday's TV series talked about the boss having to take care of his subordinates occasionally! He is so amazing, he learns so quickly!
Xiang Xiang was startled and tilted his head: Subordinates? Wish?
Secretary Wen was currently smiling and praising the child for being thoughtful: "Ah, the doctor said before that the little guy's abilities have developed to an unimaginable level. He can influence the outside world just by moving his fingers, yet he is so well-behaved and obedient!" He is much less of a worry than his biological father!
As soon as he finished speaking, the space in the living room seemed to distort for a moment, and the next second, the bowl of luxurious ramen that Miss Naya had not had time to eat on TV appeared on the coffee table in front of Chi Liu!
Immediately afterwards, Miss Naya's bracelet disappeared and appeared in Xiang Xiang's palm!
"Mommy," the child curled up his cute little hands in Chi Liu's body and said coquettishly, "I'll give it to you~"
The alluring fragrance really hit the tip of his nose, and Chi Liu stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time.
Xiang Xiang stared at the small jellyfish bracelet in his palm with wide eyes: I poked it and it was really real!
The kid was so proud: "Thank me! Fish Lips' subordinates~"
Xiang Xiang tilted his head blankly and murmured, "Thank you?"
Secretary Wen suddenly opened his eyes wide and almost dropped his jaw!
Miss Naya's world on TV was in complete chaos, as if a bug had occurred. The noodle shop owner was jumping up and down like an NPC, repeating "Where's the noodles? Where's the noodles?"
Miss Naya, who loves adventure the most, looked at her wrist in surprise, stood up, raised her hand and said loudly: "Friends! My cute little jellyfish bracelet is gone! Let's start a new adventure to find it!"
Secretary Wen stared at the TV, his jaw finally dropping: This little guy can even influence the virtual world...
What a terrifying ability...
He wasn't even born yet...
The child waved his small hands, which were already able to open, inside Chi Liu's body, and said with great pride: "Mommy, am I awesome?"
Chi Liu came back to his senses, smiled helplessly, and first affirmed the child's ability: "Very impressive——"
The TV was in even more chaos at this point. The bear monster that was supposed to appear in the middle of this episode broke into the noodle shop right after the show started, howling and stomping its feet viciously, demanding that Miss Naya hand over the energy gem. Miss Naya and her friends were about to transform—
Chi Liu was about to say, "But it's wrong to take other people's things without permission," and asked him to return it.
The child was already flattered by the praise: "Mommy, I can be even better!"
The space twisted again for a moment.
“Ouch~”
A loud howl of a wild beast sounded clearly in this space.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Someone on the balcony angrily knocked on the closed French window: "Naya, take it~"
Secretary Chi Liu and Secretary Xiangxiang Wen opened their eyes wide and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the same time - they saw a brown bear as tall as a person standing on the balcony, its funny little eyes and cold giant teeth were extremely clear, and it was pounding the glass window frantically and speaking human language!
The excited voice of the child echoed in this space at the same time: "Xiong Xiong, so cute! I like Xiong Xiong! Be my subordinate!"
The brown bear was a little confused when he heard this. Suddenly, he felt something and all the hair on his body stood up! He groaned in fear and grievance, and curled up on the balcony, trying to reduce his presence: "Woo~"
Damn Naya! Where did she find such a perverted helper?
So scary QAQ
Chi Liu's scalp tingled as he watched this scene. He twitched his lips: I really hope that the person living opposite his house is not on the balcony at this time! Otherwise, how can I explain if I was photographed!
Secretary Wen and Xiang Xiang were completely stunned.
Chi Liu couldn't stand it any longer and acted like a parent: "Don't take other people's things casually. Give it back to me."
Child: "Woo~ Okay, Mommy, don't be angry QAQ"
A second later, the steaming ramen and the little jellyfish bracelet returned to the screen.
The child pretended to forget the teddy bear on the balcony - woooo, I really want to raise one.
Chi Liu's eyebrows jumped: "Go back."
The child clenched his fingers in the amniotic fluid in disappointment: "Okay. QAQ"
A moment later, the boss bear shivering on the balcony returned to the world on the screen.
Everything that just happened seemed like a bug-like illusion, and the anime returned to the beginning - Miss Naya and her friends lifted the door curtain and ordered a bowl of delicious ramen!
Secretary Wen, whose outlook on life was hit, turned off the TV quickly. He was thinking vaguely - if the little guy had just pulled out Miss Naya, would he have been able to see his idol in person! Maybe he could even get an autograph!
Unfortunately, the little guy has the same aesthetic taste as his dad—he just likes those stupid bears.
The child admitted his mistake very quickly: "Mommy, don't be angry, I won't do this again QAQ" Woohoo, mommy is still sick, he shouldn't be naughty...
Chi Liu gently stroked his abdomen and smiled helplessly: "Be good. Let's go to the supermarket to buy a teddy bear, okay?"
Xiang Xiang also came over and whispered, "I'll buy it for you too." He still had a lot of money!
The child hummed and immediately became happy: "There will be Bear Bear tomorrow! I promise I will be very good!"
Only then did Chi Liu burst into laughter.
…
When Chi Liu finished washing up and went to bed, his fever had almost subsided, but he still had no strength in his body.
He fell drowsily on the bed, his whole body sunk into the soft blankets. He closed his eyes but couldn't fall asleep.
He hasn't seen Chu Qi for more than two months.
A terrifying rib was placed at the head of the bed, guarding the young man on the bed like a knight.
Chi Liu suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, got up from the bed, walked barefoot to the closet, and quickly took out a shirt that was too big.
There was a certain cold fragrance on the shirt that was very present.
Chi Liu looked at it for a long while, but still put it on with a twitch of his lips - his ears turned red with shame.
He thought it was really embarrassing. During the meal, he had clearly sworn to Secretary Wen that he didn't care about or miss that man.
But in the middle of the night I would miss him so much that I couldn't fall asleep.
Thinking of this, the blush spread along the earlobe to the side of Chi Liu's neck.
He quickly got back on the bed, closed his eyes, curled up slightly, and hugged himself in the oversized shirt - just like, hugging that man...
Only then did he quickly fall into sleep.
The child, sensing the young man's emotions, cursed his father twice again, and then curled up his little fingers again...
In the safe darkness, space once again calmly twisted for a moment before returning to normal.
…
The next day was a rare day of good weather, and the bright early winter sunshine shone onto the young man through the gaps in the curtains.
Chi Liu, who had completely recovered, opened his eyes and was immediately startled.
He stared with wide eyes at the horrible thing in his arms—it was a healthy stomach, which was now trembling like a furnace!
What the hell is this!
The child was very excited: "Mommy, are you happy? This is Daddy's stomach when he misses you! I secretly brought it here!" The popular science program the day before yesterday said that the stomach is an emotional organ! Dad's emotions when he misses Mom will be reflected in his stomach!
This stomach is very happy now!
Chi Liu was completely frozen there: “…”
