"My belly is definitely going to bulge out. I feel like my waist has gotten much thicker these past few days," Mei Si said, touching her belly.
"Your waist has gotten thicker because Mom has been giving you nourishing foods these past few days!" Wang Celou said, both amused and exasperated.
"Okay, I should go to sleep now, don't talk anymore!" Mei Si looked up at the clock and realized it was already 9 o'clock. She quickly threw off the covers, crawled in, and closed her eyes to sleep.
"..."
When Wang Ce Lou saw that Mei Si didn't believe him, he decided to confess to Wang Ma and the others.
Wang Celou calculated the days and decided to wait until Mei Si went to the competition before he spoke, so that Wang Ma and the others would have some buffer time.
"Lou Lou, Si Si's competition is a big deal, and my grandson's is an even bigger deal. Why don't you go ask Mei Si's coach if I can go with her?" Wang Ma had been thinking about this ever since her daughter-in-law became pregnant. Today, her son was coming over, so she decided to let him handle it.
“…You want to come along? No, no!” Wang Ce Lou quickly shook his head and said.
"You haven't even asked yet, how do you know it won't work?" Wang Ma asked, frowning.
"Mom, to tell you the truth, Sisi isn't pregnant." Wang Celou knew he couldn't delay any longer; he had to tell the truth now.
"What? Not pregnant? Then Sisi..."
“Sisi didn’t lie to you; she always thought she was pregnant,” Wang Celou continued.
"What on earth is going on?"
“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have made that kind of joke. Sisi was having so much fun playing outside that she couldn’t sleep at night. She plays all day and then doesn’t sleep at night. I was worried that her health wouldn’t be able to handle it, so I said that not sleeping is bad for the child…”
"You silly child, how could you joke about something like this? And you've kept it a secret until now. Go and explain it to Sisi!"
Wang Ma couldn't understand why her usually steady son would make such a mistake.
“I told her, but she didn’t believe me,” Wang Celou said, pressing his temples.
"Why don't you believe her? Isn't she the one who trusts you the most?" Wang Ma was a little surprised. Her daughter-in-law had always trusted her son the most since she was a child. Why did she suddenly stop believing her?
"It's because... well, I can't explain that to you. Now that I've made it clear, you can forget about going abroad with Sisi." Wang Celou was too embarrassed to say why Mei Si didn't believe him, so he changed the subject.
"She doesn't believe what you're saying, so should I talk to her?"
"No need, I'll take her to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. Once the results are in, she'll be fine."
The next day, Wang Celou took Mei Si to get checked. He originally wanted to convince Mei Si that she was not pregnant through the doctor's words.
But……
"Congratulations, Ms. Mei is indeed pregnant. You're going to be a father..." The doctor began to talk about precautions for pregnancy.
After learning that Mei Si was pregnant, Wang Celou couldn't listen to anything and just stared blankly at Mei Si's belly.
Wang Celou: She's actually pregnant?
Am I... going to be a father?!
While Wang Ce Lou was taking Mei Si for a check-up, Wang Ma called Grandma Yu and Mei Si's mother to tell them that Mei Si was not pregnant.
Wang's mother felt that it was better for her to tell everyone about the fake pregnancy than for her son, at least she wouldn't get scolded.
But when her son and his wife returned, Wang Ma regretted speaking so quickly...
"What? You're really pregnant?"
"Mom, you still don't believe I'm pregnant?" May asked, her eyes wide with surprise.
"No, no, Sisi, have some fruit." Feeling embarrassed by Mei Si's stare, Wang Ma quickly pushed the fruit plate towards Mei Si to divert her attention.
Wang Ma pulled her son into the small house and somewhat awkwardly brought up the phone call she had just made.
"Lou Lou, um... Mom just called and told your grandma and fifth sister."
"..."
Wang Celou knew his mother meant well, afraid he would be scolded, but... couldn't she wait a little longer?
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's time for Mei Si to head to H country for the competition with her team.
Both Wang Ma and Mei Ma wanted to go with Mei Si, but Wang Ce Lou felt that the two of them were too old to go through all that trouble.
So while the two mothers were arguing about who should go, Wang Celou had already made arrangements with Mei Si's coach to go abroad with her.
After discussing it, the coaches decided to limit May's participation in competitions to a few that wouldn't be too physically demanding, as May was pregnant.
This trip to H country was very different from the last one; the people of H country seemed to behave much more respectfully towards them.
The coaches were constantly on edge, fearing that the H countrymen were brewing some big move.
"The she-devil is here! Everyone, be sure not to anger her!"
"She's just a girl, what's there to be afraid of?" one referee thought his colleague was too timid.
"Think about Li Yingxiong's receding hairline; he went bald overnight!!"
"Ah! That female demon from China is here! Everyone be careful, don't hurt anyone from the Chinese team!"
Two years ago, after the Asian Games, the H people belatedly realized that Mays was involved in all the injuries.
Some of these wounded soldiers lost their hair, some lost their hands, and some became lame.
They were genuinely terrified of this female demon; anyone who touched her was crippled! It was best to stay far away from her the next time they saw her.
The less H country made a move, the more wary the Chinese team became, fearing they might fall into a trap. In just a few days, the Chinese team members looked quite haggard.
"Could it be psychological warfare?" Captain Liu looked at his haggard team members and suddenly understood what the H country was up to.
