Pregnancy (V)
Xi Jiu's heart suddenly exploded like oil boiling in a raging fire.
He quickly walked over to Ruan Qi and squatted down, his voice filled with panic and worry: "Why did the baby vomit? Is your stomach upset?"
Ruan Qi was unable to respond to Xi Jiu's words at this moment.
She held onto the toilet and vomited violently, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, her vision went black, and she felt terribly uncomfortable.
Seeing her face pale from vomiting, Xi Jiu felt so distressed that he wished he could take her place.
He held Ruan Qi's shoulders with one hand and gently patted her back with the other, trying to make her feel more comfortable.
Ruan Qi vomited for a long time before gradually stopping.
After she emptied her stomach, she held the toilet for a while, then retched a few times in pain.
Xi Jiu's eyes turned red with anxiety.
He stood up, wet a towel, and wiped Ruan Qi's mouth. Then he quickly went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water and brought it to Ruan Qi's mouth.
"Baby, rinse your mouth."
Ruan Qi took the cup and took a sip of water to rinse out the unpleasant taste in her mouth.
After rinsing her mouth, she returned the cup to Xi Jiu, leaning weakly against the wall next to the toilet, holding her stomach tightly with both hands.
"Jiujiu, my stomach hurts..."
Ruan Qi's voice was very weak, and her face looked even paler than before.
Xi Jiu's heart suddenly panicked.
Ruan Qi's reaction was definitely not just caused by overeating. He didn't dare to delay any longer, bent down, picked up Ruan Qi, and ran straight to the Ruan family next door.
At this time, most of the Ruan family were at home for the weekend.
In the courtyard of the quadrangle, Nie Heng held a camera, the lens pointed at the fennel and fennel plants frolicking in the garden.
Dafennel and Xiaofennel had a great time running around in the big garden, and they were so tired that they were panting and sticking out their tongues.
Nie Heng took pictures of them and said with a smile, "I'll take a picture of you two being silly and show it to Senior Sister later."
As the voice of this sentence fell.
The small door on the wall on one side of the garden was suddenly kicked open.
Nie Heng was startled. Turning around, he saw Xi Jiu, anxiously holding Ruan Qi, rushing in through the small door.
When Nie Heng saw Ruan Qi's expression, the camera in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"
He ran over eagerly.
Xi Jiu didn't have time to explain to him. He rushed into the house holding Ruan Qi and said, "Where is Master Beilou? Xiaoqi has a stomachache."
When Nie Heng heard this, he immediately turned around and ran to the courtyard where Nie Beilou lived alone to look for someone.
Xi Jiuze had already rushed into the Ruan family's living room, holding Ruan Qi.
The Ruan family's peaceful and leisurely weekend was suddenly broken.
Ruan Munan, who was working at the bar on the first floor, saw Ruan Qi's pale face and almost dropped the coffee cup in his hand onto the laptop keyboard.
"What happened to Xiao Qi?!"
When the other members of the Ruan family heard Ruan Munan's voice, they all rushed over immediately.
"Oh my granddaughter, what happened?"
"What's going on? Wasn't he fine yesterday? Laojiu, is Xiaoqi sick?"
Xi Jiu carefully put Ruan Qi on the sofa and let her lie down.
Ruan Qi's stomachache was getting worse at this time. She curled up into a ball, and her thin bangs were stuck to her forehead with cold sweat.
Xi Jiu wiped her sweat with concern and explained to everyone, "Xiao Qi has a stomachache and vomited during breakfast."
"Vomited?!"
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
Ruan Qi has always been in good health and has never had any gastrointestinal problems.
How could such a healthy person suddenly vomit?
The faces of the Ruan family members were as if the sky had fallen.
However, Bai Li, who lived in the Ruan family, stood behind everyone, stretched his neck to glance at Ruan Qi lying on the sofa, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Good man, this girl is actually...
Bai Li was just wondering when the entrance door suddenly opened and Nie Beilou, dressed in a dark red robe, walked in quickly with Nie Heng.
Xi Jiu immediately spoke up: "Master Beilou, Xiaoqi has a stomachache."
Nie Beilou didn't say anything.
He walked straight to the sofa in the living room with a gloomy face. After seeing Ruan Qi's expression, he pressed the corner of his lips, then reached out and placed his hand on her pulse.
The pulse jumped under his fingertips, Nie Beilou paused, and then his eyelids twitched twice.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xi Jiu.
At that moment, Xi Jiu suddenly had the illusion that Nie Beilou wanted to stab him.
"Brother Beilou, what happened to Xiaoqi?" Grandpa Ruan spoke hurriedly, interrupting the eye contact between Nie Beilou and Xi Jiu.
Nie Beilou withdrew his gaze and was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "It's not a big deal."
When everyone heard this, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Who knew, the next second——
Nie Beilou: "I'm just pregnant, that's all."
Everyone in the Ruan family: ...
Everyone: ???
Everyone: !!!!!!!
"Pregnant?!!" Grandma Ruan screamed through the rooftop.
Everyone in the Ruan family opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
Even Ruan Qi himself forced himself to raise his head.
Only Xi Jiu, after hearing Nie Beilou's words, was stunned at first, then delighted. Then he immediately thought of something, his body trembled violently, and his face instantly became paler than Ruan Qi's.
The Ruan family members who were shocked by Ruan Qi's pregnancy did not notice Xi Jiu's abnormality.
Grandma Ruan excitedly grabbed Nie Beilou's sleeve and asked repeatedly, "Brother Beilou, is my granddaughter really pregnant? Are you sure? Are you sure?"
Nie Beilou nodded with a stern face, "I can't be wrong. She is indeed pregnant, less than two months."
When the Ruan family heard this, they were overjoyed.
However, everyone's joy lasted only a few seconds before their attention shifted to Ruan Qi's physical condition.
Grandpa Ruan: "Why does Xiaoqi have a stomachache when she's pregnant? Is it because of unstable fetal qi? Is her vomiting this morning also related to the pregnancy?"
Nie Beilou nodded.
"Vomiting during pregnancy is normal, so don't be too nervous. But she did have some fetal instability, so she had a stomachache."
At this point, Nie Beilou looked up at Xi Jiu again and said with a hint of meaning, "Don't do strenuous exercise during the early stages of pregnancy. Especially in the first three months, if you don't take good care of yourself, you can easily have a miscarriage. People around pregnant women must be extra careful to prevent mistakes and accidents."
Suddenly, Xi Jiu's face turned even paler.
Last night, in order to help Ruan Qi digest her food, he tossed and turned with her in bed until late at night.
It took so long, and the movements were so intense, no wonder Ruan Qi had a stomachache today... He almost harmed her and their child.
Xi Jiu felt both scared and regretful.
His eyes were red, his lips were tight, and he held Ruan Qi's hand tightly.
Ruan Qi felt the trembling of Xi Jiu's fingertips.
She guessed immediately what he was thinking.
There were too many people in the living room, so Ruan Qi couldn't openly comfort the man. She took his hand in hers and scratched the back of his hand twice with her fingertips, silently telling him that she was fine.
Feeling Ruan Qi's comfort, Xi Jiu's tense lips relaxed a little, but he still held her hand tightly.
The other people in the Ruan family didn't notice anything unusual about the two of them.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of Ruan Qi's pregnancy, and surrounded Nie Beilou, asking him questions.
Nie Beilou suppressed his anger and patiently explained the Ruan family's doubts. When he had almost finished answering, he used the excuse of giving Ruan Qi acupuncture to stabilize her pregnancy as a shield, and then took Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi to the small courtyard where he lived alone.
The courtyard where Nie Beilou lived was on the south side of the quadrangle garden.
Xi Jiu held Ruan Qi and followed behind him, and the three of them arrived quickly.
Nie Beilou pushed open the door to the living room and motioned Xi Jiu to carry Ruan Qi to the sofa.
After Ruan Qi lay down on the sofa, Nie Beilou's anger, which had been suppressed all the way, finally broke out and he slammed his powerful hand on the coffee table.
“Nonsense!”
Nie Beilou's anger finally exploded.
A cold shout filled with hostility frightened Ruan Qi so much that he shivered violently.
Xi Jiu was afraid that she would be frightened, so he immediately stood up and stood in front of her.
Nie Beilou stood on the other side of the coffee table, one hand behind his back, pointing at the two of them with the other and starting to curse.
"There were too many people here just now, and the elders in the family are all here, so I'll save your face. Now there are only three of us here, Xi Jiu! Tell me! What did you do yesterday! Ruan Qi was in such good health, how could she suddenly have an unstable fetus?!"
Nie Beilou was not in a position to talk about the couple's private affairs in front of the Ruan family, so he kept it in his heart.
But now, there were only three of them in the room, and he could no longer hold back his anger.
"You're less than two months pregnant, and you're already doing such strenuous exercise. Do you two think the baby's life is too long?"
Facing Nie Beilou's scolding, Xi Jiu lowered his head.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have bothered Xiao Qi. All the responsibility lies with me."
Xi Jiu admitted his mistake willingly.
Ruan Qi struggled to sit up from the sofa.
"Master, this isn't Jiujiu's fault. I neglected my physical condition. Jiujiu isn't a doctor, so how would he know I was pregnant..."
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he did, Nie Beilou's rage intensified.
"You also know that Xi Jiu is not a doctor, but do you still remember that you are a doctor?!"
Ruan Qi: “…I remember.”
"Remember? I think you've thrown your medical skills away! You don't know how to take a pulse when you're feeling unwell? As a doctor, you didn't even know you were pregnant. If anyone knows about this, it would be a disgrace to our Wushang Sect!"
Ruan Qi lowered her head after being scolded.
This matter was indeed an oversight on her part.
She had never been pregnant, and she had always used contraceptive measures when she and Xi Jiu had sex. So when she felt unwell, she didn't think about it.
A sudden increase in appetite, mood swings, constant hunger, a strong craving for something... If these symptoms occurred to someone else, Ruan Qi would be able to tell at a glance that the person was pregnant.
However, when it comes to myself, I become confused and cannot see the situation clearly.
This time, she was wrong.
She should have been more cautious.
Thinking of the antics with Xi Jiu last night, Ruan Qi felt a little scared.
She raised her hand and touched her belly, feeling both guilty and anxious.
"Master," she stroked her belly, raised her head and looked eagerly at Nie Beilou, "Will the baby be okay?"
Nie Beilou wanted to say a few more words to her.
But when he raised his eyes, he met Ruan Qi's peach blossom eyes full of worry.
Those eyes have always been beautiful, just as clean and clear as when I was a child.
But the difference is that now there is a bit more maternal radiance and tenderness in those peach blossom eyes.
She is worried about her children.
Nie Beilou suddenly felt a little unbelievable.
The little girl who was raised by him since she was a child, who was carefree, sunny and cheerful, is going to be a mother.
