"Get up, let's eat breakfast, okay? Then we can go to sleep properly."
Another half year has passed by in a blur, and winter has returned.
Wen Xingyue's belly was already showing a clear curve. Huo Tingxiao held her loosely and kissed the forehead of the person in his arms.
It was a cold day, and she could sleep until noon.
Huo Tingxiao was worried that she would be unwell if she went hungry, so he coaxed her in a low voice to get up, eat breakfast, and then go back to sleep.
"I don't want to eat."
Wen Xingyue had little appetite early in the morning and didn't want to get out of bed for breakfast. She wrapped her hands around Huo Tingxiao's neck to keep warm and felt drowsy.
"I made some white fungus and meatball soup. Let's have some to tide us over. I'll make you something delicious for lunch."
Huo Tingxiao pulled her out of bed and wrapped her tightly in a thick quilt to keep her warm.
"I think you should eat more."
Pulled out, Wen Xingyue nestled lazily in his arms, looking up at the man's haggard face.
His face became more sculpted and slender, exuding the sharpness of a drawn sword.
Even though she was the one who was pregnant, he acted as if she were.
Since Wen Xingyue became pregnant, it wasn't Wen Xingyue herself who was anxious, but Huo Tingxiao; his heart was never at ease.
In just a few months, I lost a lot of weight. Especially when I went out to work, I would make eight hundred phone calls home whenever I had the chance, and I would also come back to visit whenever I had the chance, just in case something happened to me.
Wen Xingyue, on the other hand, was carefree, eating and sleeping as usual, and even made plans with Wen Lingyue to go shopping and visit a clinic to treat patients.
The baby in her belly was not fussy at all, and Wen Xingyue did not experience any morning sickness or anything. Except for a little bit of fussing at the beginning, which was probably because her mother did not realize she was there, she had been well-behaved ever since.
Huo Tingxiao didn't go to work; he just stayed by Wen Xingyue's side every step of the way, not letting her do anything.
"You eat, I'll eat after you eat."
Huo Tingxiao picked up the warm bowl and used a white porcelain spoon to feed her.
Since having children, they have never heard Wen Xingyue's true feelings.
Wen Xingyue was a little hungry after sleeping all night. The baby wasn't fussy, but the baby needed to grow and needed to absorb nutrients, so sometimes Wen Xingyue would get hungry quite quickly.
Whenever she didn't want to eat, Huo Tingxiao would cook some convenient, sweet, and sticky food for her to eat.
Wen Xingyue ate a small bowl before Huo Tingxiao ate his own.
To be honest, Huo Tingxiao didn't have much of an appetite. He had always had a poor appetite and didn't care what he ate, as long as it filled his stomach. But now, because Wen Xingyue was pregnant and he was nervous, his appetite had worsened.
But he couldn't not eat; he also had to take care of her and handle a lot of other matters at the military base.
"Are you going to the army?" Wen Xingyue yawned lazily and looked at him.
Huo Tingxiao originally wanted to take a leave of absence to take care of her at home, but Wen Xingyue felt helpless. She was an adult, not a fragile porcelain doll. She was only pregnant, ten months pregnant. If he took ten months off, would she still have her job? She rolled her eyes at him and told him to go to work.
She wasn't without anyone looking after her; a large group of people surrounded her—her three mothers, her father, and her brother and sister.
There's no need for him, such a busy man, to take a special vacation to be with her.
Even if things go badly, there's still Aunt Liu and the others; we can't let her suffer.
No one should be wronged, and now the whole family treats her like a national treasure.
"I'll be back early at noon." Huo Tingxiao nodded. "Xiao Jun doesn't have class today. He'll be over later. If you have anything to do, just let him handle it."
"Xiao Jun is practically my personal bodyguard now," Wen Xingyue said, finding it amusing.
Huo Tingjun would always come and follow her whenever he didn't have classes.
Especially after learning that she was pregnant, Xiao Jun stayed by Huo Tingxiao's side every step of the way while he went to work.
Carry the bag, buy things, pour water, and get clothes.
It is said that Wen Xingyue is his friend, and Mingxi is more than ten years younger than her, but now he is playing the role of an older brother.
"I'll be nicer to him from now on."
Huo Tingxiao was grateful to Huo Tingjun.
Their family members are all busy, and most of them don't have jobs. They usually take turns accompanying her.
She didn't want them to take time off work to be with her and take care of her, and they didn't feel comfortable letting outsiders take care of her.
Only when family members take care of them can the whole family feel at ease.
"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."
Wen Xingyue smiled.
...
"Sister-in-law, you're awake."
Wen Xingyue slept in bed for a while longer before getting up.
When I got up, Huo Tingjun was already there and was sitting in the living room doing his homework.
"Xiao Jun, why are you here so early?"
Wen Xingyue smiled when she saw him.
"Have you had breakfast? Your older brother made some wontons yesterday, would you like me to cook some for you?"
Wen Xingyue walked over and touched his head. Perhaps because she was pregnant, she looked at Xiao Jun, who was growing into a young boy, and found him more and more precious.
"Sister-in-law, I'll cook it myself. You sit and rest."
Huo Tingjun let her touch his head. His mother and the others said that his sister-in-law couldn't stand any anger now and had to go along with it, as it would be good for her health.
It's winter now, and Huo Tingjun, who rarely gets a day off, stayed in bed for a while. Later, she rushed over without having breakfast.
"Sister-in-law, do you think it's a boy or a girl in your belly?"
After the wontons were cooked, Huo Tingjun served her a bowl as well, and the two of them nestled together by the coffee table to eat.
"Does Xiaojun prefer a baby boy or a baby girl?"
Wen Xingyue took a bite of a wonton and asked him.
“I like them both. I like both your and my brother’s babies, but I hope it’s a girl so I can protect her in the future.”
Huo Tingjun gave a simple, honest smile.
His older brother and sister-in-law used to protect him, and he will definitely protect their children in the future.
