The two arrived at the hospital. Chen Xiaoru knew that her recent sleepiness was due to her pregnancy, so she followed Xiao Lang slowly.
"Knock, knock, knock." Xiao Lang knocked on the door of the clinic.
"Come in." The voice of a middle-aged female doctor came from inside.
Xiao Lang pushed the door open and pulled Chen Xiaoru to sit opposite the doctor. He pushed Chen Xiaoru in front of the doctor and said urgently, "Doctor, please help me take a look at my wife. She loves to sleep these days. She feels sleepy after eating and has no energy to do anything. Is there something wrong with her body?"
Chen Xiaoru was so amused by his anxious look that she couldn't help but pinch him secretly.
The doctor looked up at the two of them, then looked at Xiao Lang's face which was full of "anxiety", and couldn't help laughing: "Young man, don't be anxious, let your wife sit down first, I will take her pulse."
Chen Xiaoru quickly sat down on the chair designated by the doctor and obediently stretched out her wrist.
The doctor placed his finger on Chen Xiaoru's pulse and listened intently. The consulting room was silent, the only sound coming from the wall clock. Chen Xiaoru nervously watched the doctor's expression, fearing she might see some ominous sign.
Xiao Lang didn't even dare to say a word. He stood aside, staring at the doctor without blinking, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
After a long while, the doctor finally withdrew his hand and a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Xiao Lang's heart skipped a beat and he asked first, "Doctor, is my wife... is she okay?"
The doctor looked at him with a smile and deliberately kept him in suspense: "Your wife..."
Xiao Lang's heart was in his throat, and Chen Xiaoru asked nervously, "Doctor, you look like this, could it be that I have some terminal illness?"
The doctor burst out laughing when he heard this and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, you little girl, what are you imagining! You are... pregnant!"
Chen Xiaoru first breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and muttered softly, "I'm glad I don't have a terminal illness. I'm pregnant..." Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, her eyes widened suddenly, and her voice changed: "What? I'm pregnant?!"
Xiao Lang was also stunned, standing there in a daze. Then, as if a spring had been pressed, he suddenly jumped up and hugged Chen Xiaoru, his words stuttering with excitement: "Xiaoru, you... you are really pregnant? We... we have a child? I'm going to be a father?!"
Chen Xiaoru was startled by his sudden enthusiasm, and then a huge joy surged in her heart, and tears burst out.
"Silly girl, why are you crying? This is good news! A huge good news!" Xiao Lang hurriedly helped her wipe her tears, but he himself was so excited that his eyes turned red and his voice was choked.
Chen Xiaoru sniffed and said in a tearful voice, "I... I'm still a baby..."
When Xiao Lang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter: "Yes, yes, you are still a baby. Our family will have two babies in the future!" He carefully supported Chen Xiaoru, as if he was holding a rare treasure. His silly energy made the doctor laugh.
The doctor smiled and said, "Alright, alright, look how happy you two are! However, there are a lot of things to pay attention to during early pregnancy. Come, let me explain them to you."
Xiao Lang immediately put away his smile, moved a stool and sat down next to the doctor, took out a notebook and pen, and acted like a good student listening attentively: "Doctor, I'll write down everything you say!"
Chen Xiaoru looked at his serious expression, her heart warmed, and she couldn't help but pinch him secretly. Xiao Lang turned his head and grinned at her, revealing two rows of neat white teeth.
Next, the doctor's patient and detailed explanations and Xiao Lang's occasional "silly" questions filled the clinic:
"Doctor, can my wife eat spicy food now?"
"Doctor, can she still jump around like before?"
…
Chen Xiaoru was both angry and amused when she heard these questions, but her heart felt as sweet as if it were filled with honey: This person must be a fool!
After leaving the hospital, Xiao Lang stayed by Chen Xiaoru's side like a hen protecting her chicks, fearing that she would get hurt. His nervous look made Chen Xiaoru feel uncomfortable.
"Xiao Lang," Chen Xiaoru finally couldn't help but speak, "Can you please stop doing this? I'm not made of glass, how could anything go wrong so easily? You're putting so much pressure on me and making me feel uncomfortable."
When Xiao Lang heard this, he realized that he had gone a little too far. He scratched his head, chuckled, and restrained himself a little, but he still held Chen Xiaoru's waist loosely with his hand, fearing that she would get sprained.
"Xiaoru," Xiao Lang suddenly stopped after walking for a while, looking at Chen Xiaoru with sparkling eyes, "Can we tell our parents this good news? I want them to be happy too!"
Chen Xiaoru looked at his eager and expectant expression, her heart softening as she smiled and nodded, "Of course, such a big happy event, we must tell them."
When Xiao Lang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and ran to the post office with Chen Xiaoru: "Let's go, let's make a phone call now!"
Arriving at the post office, Xiao Lang called home. The phone rang a few times before a familiar and commanding voice came from the other end: "Hello, this is Xiao Jianguo."
When Xiao Lang heard his father's voice, he didn't bother to say hello and shouted at the top of his voice: "Dad! Great news! Xiaoru is pregnant! I'm going to be a father!" His voice was so loud that it almost blew the roof of the post office off.
On the other end of the phone, Father Xiao was visibly stunned. He was silent for three full seconds before bursting into a cheer even louder than Xiao Lang's: "What?! Say it again! Did I hear correctly? I'm going to be a grandfather?"
