Dinner was ready at nine o'clock. This was the result of Ji Yuzhi rushing to finish it.
The table was laden with delicious aromas, and the presentation was both abundant and visually appealing.
"Come on, my little darling." Ji Yuzhi was putting rice into Zhen Tian's bowl when he looked up at her in the dining room.
The aroma made Zhen Tian's stomach rumble again.
She picked up a bite here and a bite there, looking like she didn't want to eat.
Ji Yuzhi put down his bowl and looked at her for a long time: "What's wrong? No appetite?"
Zhen Tian readily agreed: "Hmm, I don't want to eat that. I want to eat the stinky tofu from the second stall at the intersection on the east side of the street."
"It's so late, you should be off work." Ji Yuzhi glanced at his watch; it was almost 9:30.
"Then I won't eat it."
Zhen Tian put down her chopsticks, went to sit on the sofa, and remained unmoved no matter how strong the aroma was.
Ji Yuzhi reluctantly put down his chopsticks and went upstairs.
Zhen Tian pouted, watching his retreating figure as he went upstairs.
He muttered to himself.
Not long after, Ji Yuzhi came downstairs after changing his clothes.
"Is there anything else you'd like to eat?" He was still holding the car keys in his hand.
"No more." Zhen Tian shook her head.
"Listen to me, go eat some more food. I'll be right back." Ji Yuzhi was already changing his shoes.
Zhen Tian went to the restaurant and saw that she had only touched the rice in her bowl.
She ran to the door again: "You haven't eaten either."
"Didn't you want to eat stinky tofu? If you wait too long, you really won't be able to buy any." Ji Yuzhi patted the top of her head.
"Wait a minute." Ji Yuzhi was pulled back by Zhen Tian: "If I act like this, will you hate me?"
Ji Yuzhi felt that strange feeling again, as if he had experienced a similar scene a long time ago.
He gently stroked Zhen Tian's hair, reassuring her, "No, I will never hate you."
“Hmm…” Zhen Tian smiled, pursing her lips.
"Go eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."
"I'll wait for you to come back and eat." Zhen Tian tilted her head up and smiled at him.
"Aren't you hungry? Don't wait for me. Go quickly."
Ji Yuzhi flicked her on the head and then left.
Zhen Tian ran back to the sofa and picked up the notebook she had hidden under her pillow.
It says so.
[Stirring up trouble by not eating +100]
[Wasting a token of goodwill only adds 100]
There's more below.
[Losing temper irritably]
Disobedience
[A restless sleeper]
She wrote a whole page of sentences. Her antics and refusal to eat were just the beginning.
And at the very top of the page, she wrote.
The Pregnancy Battle
She had planned it all out. In order to test whether Zhizhi could properly take care of her during her pregnancy, she specially arranged this test.
The aroma of the food on the table still lingered in her nostrils, and Zhen Tian couldn't resist any longer.
She really went all out to test Zhizhi.
Following the aroma to the restaurant, she couldn't resist eating two pieces of pork ribs while Zhizhi wasn't around.
They even took the bones and threw them into the toilet trash can to destroy the evidence.
She still wasn't full after finishing her meal, but she was afraid Zhizhi would find out, so she decided to wait for him to come back before eating.
Ji Yuzhi spent another hour going back and forth, and by the time he got home, the food was already cold.
"Eat up. I'll heat up the food." He was covered in the dampness of the night dew, and Zhen Tian felt extremely sorry for him even before she started to fuss over him.
She stuffed a piece of stinky tofu into her mouth, but it tasted like cardboard; she didn't actually like it that much. She just wanted an excuse to torment Zhizhi.
Compared to the delicious food on the table, she simply couldn't eat this.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good? Is it cold?" Ji Yuzhi walked over to her while waiting for the pot to heat up. "Are you sick or feeling unwell?"
Ji Yu first tested the temperature of her forehead, and then tested the temperature of the stinky tofu; both were fine.
"If you don't want to eat, just put it down." He led her to the kitchen: "It'll be ready soon."
"Um……"
Zhen Tian didn't want to take the test anymore; she felt so sorry for Zhizhi.
All the food had been reheated. Zhen Tian picked up her chopsticks again, and Ji Yuzhi replaced the rice in front of her with a fresh bowl. The rice was hard after being reheated, so he placed Zhen Tian's bowl in front of himself.
"Only one..."
"Let's eat, it's late and you might not be able to digest it." Ji Yuzhi smiled at her.
"oh."
Zhen Tian silently ate her rice.
Ji Yuzhi occasionally looked up at her, noticing that she was not in good spirits today, but he didn't know what had happened to her.
After dinner, he tried to get her to walk around the living room, but she went straight to the sofa or the bedroom to lie down.
Zhen Tian still looked lifeless.
He deliberately brought up a topic: "Didn't you say you wanted me to come back early so you could talk to me about something?"
Zhen Tian nodded, thinking about herself that morning.
"Come here." She pulled Ji Yuzhi to sit on the sofa.
She was still considering whether suddenly speaking would scare Zhizhi.
After Ji Yuzhi sat down, he felt that part of the usually soft sofa was a bit hard, and he thought that he must have sat on something.
He reached under his buttocks and felt around; sure enough, he found a notebook.
Zhen Tian was still lost in her thoughts.
"Only...me..."
"What does this mean?" Ji Yuzhi opened the notebook, and a page inside came into view without reservation.
"Ah!" Zhen Tian snatched the notebook away, leaning back in a panic: "You...you...you saw it all?"
"I saw it." Ji Yuzhi said calmly.
"Then you should know I'm pregnant."
Zhen Tian was met with a long silence.
"Zhizhi!" Zhen Tian looked down and tugged at his sleeve: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. I just wanted to say that pregnant women are said to have a lot of problems, and I was afraid you would get impatient with me."
"I really didn't mean to doubt you."
"Only one!"
Zhen Tian looked up at him.
Ji Yuzhi's expression was unreadable, as if he was thinking about something.
"Only one~"
"You're pregnant?"
"yes."
Ji Yuzhi had been thinking about it all day, from her coming back in the morning saying she had something to tell him, to the whole mess they'd made at dinner that evening. He finally understood: it was a test she was putting on him in preparation for getting pregnant. He was the one being tested.
"How long has it been?" He didn't have time to think about it anymore, and his fingers seemed to have a mind of their own as he touched Zhen Tian's lower abdomen.
“Three months!” Zhen Tian said with a grin, pressing his hand down and guiding him to stroke it. “I never expected to get pregnant.”
"I didn't expect it either." Ji Yuzhi finally smiled, his lips curving upwards incessantly: "How did I end up pregnant?"
"Yes," Zhen Tian shook her head. "The doctor said the baby is very healthy."
"I'll take the day off tomorrow, and we'll go to the hospital again." Ji Yuzhi suddenly stood up, took his phone, and went to the window.
Zhen Tian couldn't stop him, but seeing the joy on his back, she leaned back on the sofa, admiring her man's back, and felt a little happy.
Ji Yuzhi hung up the phone and walked back to her side: "I've taken the day off. I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight."
