Vulnerability is not just a woman's right; men also feel sad, heartbroken, and in pain. They want to escape and weave a dream for themselves.
At this moment, Ji Yuzhi realized that he was not fearless; he was afraid of many things, such as leaving, losing, and in the end, only Tian Tian would be left alone.
He picked up his phone and watched the videos related to Tian Tian over and over again.
My fingers paused for a moment, then I sent a message.
Zhen Tian sat on the sofa, the coffee table was full of snacks, desserts and fruits that she could eat during her pregnancy, and her phone vibrated on the table.
She picked it up and unlocked the screen.
[Zhizhi: I miss you.]
Zhen Tian stared at this message for a very long time.
Ji Yuzhi saw the familiar typing prompt again...
And not just once, but time and time again.
This proves that Tian Tian has been reading the messages he sent.
He was laughing for a while, then he started crying.
Tears blurred his vision. He opened the group chat with Zhen Tian's brothers and uncles, where everyone would post anything related to Zhen Tian's impending childbirth. He checked it repeatedly, afraid of missing anything.
The tinnitus became more and more severe, and he could no longer hear anything in one ear.
He posted a lot of content in the group, so much so that many people complained that he was annoying.
Ji Yuzhi checked the phone again and again to make sure nothing was left behind before he dared to put it down and go to sleep.
In the middle of the night, he woke up suddenly as if someone had grabbed his throat, gasping for breath.
He pressed the call button left by the medical staff and kept telling himself to stay calm.
Holding the phone tightly in my hand is like holding a sweet hand.
The medical staff arrived quickly, and the equipment was much more complete than in the morning.
They said it might not be an infection, but seeing Ji Yuzhi's behavior when they came in, their hearts sank.
The ventilator was placed over Ji Yuzhi's lips and nose, and a hazy white mist covered his vision.
Then he closed his eyes.
Zhen Tian slept very well that night because Zhizhi told her that he missed her.
She missed him too; judging by the days, she should see Zhizhi soon.
...
For several days in a row, she did not receive any news from Ji Yuzhi.
She felt a little uneasy, but then she thought it made sense; not being allowed to use a mobile phone during quarantine seemed like a good thing.
Furthermore, her uncles showed her the message Ji Yuzhi sent instructing everyone on how to prepare things and how to take care of her.
People joked, "This must be the most comprehensive pre-pregnancy guide on the market."
Zhen Tian smiled too.
But that smile remained for five days after Ji Yuzhi disappeared.
The whole country received the news through television.
As usual, Zhen Tian held a kiwi in one hand and a spoon in the other, scooping out a spoonful of fruit and stuffing it into her mouth.
I'm used to reaching out and turning on the TV.
Lu Ti suddenly came out of the willow-leaf room, snatched the remote control with a very bad expression: "Stop watching! You're about to give birth, and all you do is watch TV all day. Won't that baby be damaged by the radiation?"
Zhen Tian, with a spoon in her mouth, looked on, completely bewildered.
She took the spoon out of her mouth and winked at Lu Ti: "Didn't you tell me not to overthink things and watch TV all day?"
Lu Ti was speechless.
"Besides, Mom, the impact of television radiation on children is negligible. Surely a highly educated person like you knows that?"
She deliberately made excuses.
"Just stop looking at it. You should move around a bit so you can give birth properly. Look at your small frame, you're not even as big as a baby."
Lu Ti stuffed the remote control into her pants pocket.
"Let's get some exercise." She pulled her around the villa.
"Exercising isn't a bad thing, but you don't need to stuff the remote control in your pocket, do you?" Zhen Tian asked, puzzled.
“I’m willing. You still want to control your mother, kid?” Lu Ti glared at her.
"How could that be? What's wrong with you today? Why are you so irritable? Did Daddy make you angry?"
Zhen Lei happened to come downstairs, and he and Lu Ti exchanged a glance, both deciding to continue the charade.
“Exactly, your mother is too authoritarian. We’ve been married for so many years, and she still throws a tantrum at me over a pair of socks.” Zhen Lei hugged his daughter, seemingly taking her from Lu Ti’s arms, but then secretly squeezed his wife’s hand behind his back.
Lu Ti almost burst into tears, but she held back and glared back.
In Zhen Tian's eyes, all she saw was her mother's aggrieved eyes reddening.
"Oh dear, Dad, what are you saying? Look, Mom is crying." Zhen Tian pinched Zhen Lei's soft belly hard: "Mom, look, I got revenge for you. Dad definitely didn't mean to upset you."
“Dad, you’re the same. You always give in to Mom’s every word. It’s been like this for so many years. You’ve spoiled her all this time. You can’t be unhappy now. Hurry up and comfort Mom.” Zhen Tian tugged at Zhen Lei’s arm.
"I don't want him to coax me." Lu Ti couldn't hold back any longer, and she turned around and went back into Liu Ye's room.
As soon as she entered the door, she burst into tears.
"Dad, what's wrong with you!" Zhen Tian shook her head, exasperated. "You're usually so good at saying nice things, what's wrong with you today?"
"It's alright, don't mind your mom. She's probably going through menopause and giving me trouble." Zhen Lei's expression was also grave.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry." Zhen Tian comforted one person and then the other: "Why didn't Aunt Liu come out today?"
"Ah, maybe he's talking badly about me to your mother." Zhen Lei touched his nose.
"No way, don't overthink it." Zhen Tian said with a smile, linking her arm with her father's.
Inside the room.
Ji Quanzhou was also there, but Zhen Tian didn't know it.
All three looked worried. The two mothers were sobbing uncontrollably, and Ji Quanzhou, who doesn't smoke, had already finished a pack.
The air pressure inside was so low that it was hard to breathe.
"That brat! I told him he shouldn't have gone, he shouldn't have gone. I told him to be so careful, so very careful. But he wouldn't listen!" Liu Ye cried her heart out.
"Why is it my son? Why is it only my son who got infected? Why is everyone else unaffected? Did they all bully Yuzhi...?"
"Wife!" Ji Quanzhou hugged her tightly. "You can't talk nonsense, you can't talk nonsense."
"Am I making this up? This is the truth!"
Lu Ti silently shed tears.
They got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast.
It's become a habit to leave the TV on at home all the time.
Since Ji Yuzhi left, the TV at home has been stuck on the news channel.
So today is no different; the first thing you see when you turn on the TV is the news channel.
The two mothers were happily picking vegetables to wash when Ji Yuzhi's name was mentioned on the television.
Thinking that Zhen Tian would definitely want to see the news about Yu Zhi in person, they went over to record Zhen Tian's screen.
Who knew what incredible news they had just heard?
