Chapter 280 I'm Going to Give Birth
Zhou Heran still said, "Xixi, how about I take you to the food street after you're discharged from the hospital so you can eat to your heart's content? Let's not eat now, okay?"
Qi Xi was about to cry.
Is there any crueler torture in the world than having delicious food right in front of you but not being able to eat a single bite?
Zhou Heran went to the nearest restaurant and bought some bland food. On one side were delicious and colorful snacks, and on the other side was bland and tasteless food that tasted like birds. Qi Xi felt hopeless and utterly hopeless.
In the end, these snacks ended up benefiting Zhou Heran; otherwise, it would have been a waste not to eat them.
Qi Xi ate her watery soup, watching Zhou Heran eat with greasy lips, and her stomach growled even louder, making her mouth feel even more tasteless.
"Xixi, come on, have a bite."
Seeing the grilled cold noodles served in front of him, Qi Xi swallowed hard. "Isn't this... a bit inappropriate?"
"Just one bite won't hurt, it'll satisfy my craving."
Although Zhou Heran knew that Qi Xi shouldn't eat too much oily food right now, the little girl stared straight at him with a look of utter despair.
Even the most hard-hearted person would soften under the gaze of such pitiful eyes.
So, they took a bite of this snack, then a bite of that snack.
Although Qi Xi didn't eat much, she at least tasted every dish.
Qi Xi was deeply moved. "Zhou Zhou, you're the best!"
Zhou Heran smiled and wiped the corner of her lips with his fingertip. "Okay, that's all you can eat today. Once you're fully recovered, you can eat as much as you want."
Qi Xi nodded vigorously.
While Zhou Heran was packing her things, Qi Xi picked up her phone and saw that her Zhou Zhou was trending again.
But the title of this trending topic is very strange.
#Zhou Heran cried#
#Suspected trouble with Zhou Heran's fiancée#
Huh? She just had a fever, so why does the world seem so different after she woke up?
When Qi Xi clicked on the trending topics, she found that someone had filmed Zhou Heran carrying her out of the airport and onto an ambulance, and the footage had been uploaded online.
She was completely covered up, so nothing was exposed.
However, the photos and videos clearly captured Zhou Heran's face. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that Zhou Heran's eyes were red and a tear was sliding down his cheek.
Judging from this scene, anyone who didn't know better would think that Qi Xi was on the verge of death, which is why Zhou Heran, a grown man, was crying in public.
Qi Xi was stunned when she saw the tear, but she didn't make a sound. Instead, she looked up at Zhou Heran.
A while had passed, and Zhou Heran's dark circles had mostly disappeared, but Qi Xi remembered that when she first woke up, she noticed that the other person's eyes were particularly red.
It seems the news about Zhou Heran crying is true.
She really didn't expect that her fever would make her boyfriend cry.
"Zhou Zhou".
His girlfriend suddenly called his name. Zhou Heran looked up and saw Qi Xi with a serious expression.
He put down what he was holding and went over. "What's wrong, Xixi? Did you eat too much and feel unwell?"
Qi Xi first shook his head, then raised his hand and hooked his neck, pulling him down at the same time.
He lowered his head, while she tilted her head back, and their lips met.
Zhou Heran was taken aback at first, then silently curled his lips, held the back of his girlfriend's head, and deepened the kiss that came suddenly but was also expected.
After the deep kiss, Qi Xi was a little exhausted and leaned against Zhou Heran's chest.
She turned to the side, burying half her face in Zhou Heran's chest, and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Zhouzhou, I will definitely be more careful in the future. We should both take good care of ourselves and not let each other worry."
Zhou Heran didn't understand the meaning behind the other person's words at first.
When it was time to go to sleep, Zhou Heran originally intended to sleep on the bed next to him.
But Qi Xi made room for her, patting the empty seat next to her and saying, "Zhou Zhou, do you want to sleep with me?"
In the past, Zhou Heran would have readily agreed, but now, he still put Qi Xi first: "The hospital bed is a bit small; if two people sleep in it, it will be too crowded for you."
"I'll sleep on the bed next to you, I won't go anywhere, I'll just stay with you."
Qi Xi blinked and looked at him. "Zhou Zhou doesn't want to sleep with me?"
This young girl really knows his weakness; she knows how to use the simplest words to leave him defenseless.
In the end, the two of them squeezed onto one bed.
After Qi Xi fell asleep in his arms, Zhou Heran quietly took her phone and was about to put it on the bedside table when he inadvertently glanced at a message on the phone.
It's a photo of him hugging someone and crying as he came out of the airport.
Zhou Heran immediately realized why Qi Xi had suddenly said those words earlier.
She probably felt that if she directly asked him if he had cried while she was sick, it would make him feel embarrassed.
So I used this roundabout method to put his mind at ease.
This young girl is always so thoughtful and considerate of others.
But this is precisely what makes Zhou Heran feel even more heartbroken.
Zhou Heran has always been carefree, after all, he was born and raised in Rome and could get whatever he wanted with ease.
Although Qi Xi is the daughter of the Qi family, she was switched at birth. Although she has never mentioned her past, Zhou Heran learned the details from Qi Chenyan.
Qi Xi's adoptive parents failed to fulfill their responsibilities as parents. If Qi Xi hadn't met Yu Li and lived with her at her grandmother's house, she probably would have starved to death long ago.
He couldn't grow up peacefully, and even got into university.
It was precisely because of her childhood environment that she developed such a personality.
From now on, he will do everything in his power to give her the very best of everything in the world and pamper her like a true princess.
*
Qi Xi and Zhou Heran's wedding is scheduled for a month later.
Although the timing was a bit tight, Qi Xi mainly wanted to hold the wedding before Yu Li gave birth.
Otherwise, if we wait until Yu Li has given birth, goes through postpartum confinement, breastfeeding, and so on, we might not be able to make it to her wedding.
Among several auspicious days, Qi Xi chose the closest one, which happened to be just before Yu Li's due date.
The wedding was held on a small island, and Zhou Heran handled almost all of the wedding procedures.
Qi Xi only needed to let Zhou Heran choose the option she liked after he finalized several plans.
On the wedding day, guests gathered, all of whom were close relatives and friends of the Qi and He families.
The Qi and He families have been friends for generations, and the marriage of Qi Xi and Zhou Heran was naturally welcomed by both families. Therefore, from the proposal to the wedding, there were no obstacles and everything went very smoothly.
Zhou Heran made a very stylish entrance; he arrived in a helicopter, which also carried his best man, who were his three other good brothers.
Qi Xi, on the other hand, descended slowly from the sky in a hot air balloon, like a princess emerging from a castle.
Zhou Heran immediately stepped forward and took Qi Xi's hand.
"Welcome, Princess Xixi, to our wedding castle."
The couple entered the hall, exchanged vows and rings under the guidance of the emcee, and kissed in front of the guests.
Every scene was so beautiful that you didn't want to blink.
Yu Li was already in tears.
Nothing makes me happier than witnessing my best friend find happiness.
Suddenly, Yu Li felt a pain in her stomach, followed by a wave of hot flashes.
She froze, grabbed Qi Chenyan's hand, at a loss, her voice trembling: "I...I think I'm going into labor."
