Zhen Tian's appetite is not small for a young girl.
During this pregnancy, her appetite was not affected at all, so her food intake increased significantly.
She ate the entire bowl of soup that was filled to the brim.
There was some soup left over, and Ji Yuzhi refused to let her drink it no matter what.
"It's alright, about 80% full." Zhen Tian burped.
"You're not allowed to eat any more. Eating too much will put a strain on your stomach." He knew exactly how much he had made, and he was unlikely to finish all of it.
"Okay." The soup was made with chicken broth that Mom used to make. So it was rich, flavorful, and delicious.
"Want to stroll around the yard?" Ji Yuzhi took her hand and walked towards the door. As they passed the door, he casually grabbed a coat for her and draped it over her shoulders.
"The air is so fresh." Zhen Tian took a deep sniff. It was freezing outside, and if she weren't always at home, her mothers wouldn't dare let her come out of her room so easily.
The temperature inside is even, and it's all flat ground, much safer than the cold, slippery outdoors.
So the two mothers, fearing they couldn't keep an eye on her, simply decided not to let her out.
Although a one-size-fits-all policy is unreasonable and unsafe, it is still useful.
"Walk slowly." Ji Yuzhi held her in his arms, using some force, so that he could protect her if anything happened.
"Mmm." Zhen Tian was embraced by him, one of her hands was held, and this tight embrace made her feel extremely safe.
"Let's put up a swing in the yard this summer after the baby is born," Zhen Tian said, pointing to a small open space in the yard. Although the yard wasn't big, the two of them had never properly maintained it because they were both so busy.
Behind the villa is a backyard, much smaller than the front yard, an irregularly shaped yard of about ten square meters. It gets plenty of sunshine and the two mothers have turned it into a vegetable garden.
It was put to good use later on, but the earlier efforts were wasted.
“Okay.” Ji Yuzhi nodded: “I’ll hire a designer for you then, and you can design it however you want.”
"Why hire a designer? I can design it myself." Zhen Tian pinched him. "We should keep a low profile and not bother others with things we can do ourselves."
Okay. I'll do as you say.
Zhen Tian smiled, pursing her lips.
“I spoke with Qingyan on the phone, and she was shocked to learn that we hadn’t bought anything for the baby. But she said she had a lot of extra stuff that she didn’t need. Her child is too old to use it anymore, so she gave it to me.”
"Anyway, it's not expired, and Qingyan only buys good brands, so we've saved time and energy."
Ji Yuzhi was reminded that his wife was about to give birth, but he really hadn't prepared anything.
He had barely shown a hint of annoyance when Zhen Tian pinched his cheek: "I'm not telling you this to make you unhappy. There are many things I can do myself. I don't need you to do everything. That would be too tiring for you."
"sorry."
"Don't say it. It's annoying."
After walking outside for about twenty minutes, Ji Yuzhi led Zhen Tian back to the house.
The two mothers had rested enough and happened to run into him leading Zhen Tian back.
"You went out? Are you cold?" Liu Ye came up and touched Zhen Tian's face: "It's still warm, I'm fine."
"It's okay, Mom, I'm not cold." Zhen Tian took off her coat and shook off the chill.
"You brat, why are we taking you out when you're so far along in your pregnancy?"
“It’s good to get some fresh air, Mom, don’t even mention Zhizhi.” Zhen Tian stood protectively in front of him, her tiny body barely reaching his chest, and Ji Yuzhi chuckled.
"Still laughing? You still need your wife to protect you? How shameful!" Liu Ye slapped her son.
"What's wrong with being protected by my wife? My wife is willing. Aren't you Mrs. Ji?" Ji Yuzhi teased her.
Although Zhen Tian was shy, she was afraid that her mother would blame Zhizhi too much, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
Ji Yuzhi smiled even more happily.
"I can't bear to look, I can't bear to look." Liu Ye also felt the same kind of speechlessness that Lu Ti often felt.
"By the way, why are you back so early today?" It's rare for Zhizhi to come home after only working half a day.
Ji Yuzhi lowered his eyes and patted her head: "Yes, you're back now that everything's alright."
"That's great. I hope you'll be free often in the future." It feels so good to see him as soon as I open my eyes.
“Mom, we’re going tonight…” Zhen Tian ran away.
Ji Yuzhi stood there in silence for a long time before taking a step.
...
Due to the pandemic, the originally scheduled release date of the game had to be postponed again and again.
The number of people infected with infectious diseases continues to rise, and at a rapid pace. People all over the world are in a state of tension, and deciding to release the game at this time is not a wise move.
but.
"Although I know it's not a good time, perhaps being engrossed in games can help me forget the troubles of the outside world, which is a good thing at this time," Zhen Yan said in a video call.
“But people might not be willing to play a new game right now,” Zhen Tian said.
“That’s not what I’m most worried about,” Lu Lin said. “Because there are too many people at home with nothing to do right now, many game servers can’t handle it and crash. Releasing new games at this time is a good solution.”
"What are you worried about, young man?"
"What I'm worried about is Yan Ge's profits." Although his original intention in making the game was to give esports players more choices and room to showcase their skills, in the end, profit is also the biggest part of it: "Now Yan Ge has invested all his money, and so have I. Launching it now may not be the time to benefit the most."
“I think so too, but…” Zhen Yan sighed, “Let’s just consider it a contribution to the people. It’s okay to earn less. Giving everyone a way to distract them from their work and stay at home is also a way for us to contribute to the country.”
Zhen Tian didn't understand these things very well, but she trusted their game: "I don't think so. What if we make a fortune because there are too many bored people at this time?"
Zhen Tian has always been optimistic. Her two older brothers aren't particularly sentimental either. This one phone call sealed the deal for a future blockbuster game to be released.
Getting it listed isn't something that happens overnight, but the older brothers had to handle all the paperwork.
Zhen Tian only knew that their game would be available in the app store in a week.
This good news made her happy, especially with Zhizhi at home with her, which amplified her joy.
"Why did you get another holiday? How many days off are you getting this time?" Zhen Tian leaned against Ji Yuzhi with a sweet smile, her eyes glued to the TV, chatting with him casually.
"Isn't a holiday good?"
"Of course that would be great, but I'm afraid it's just the calm before the storm, using rest to lull you into a false sense of security before making me anxious. Surely that won't happen..."
Ji Yuzhi's contemplation.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Zhen Tian popped a persimmon into her mouth and looked back at him.
