Chapter 53 Want me again?
As soon as he opened the door, Shen Qi heard a noise.
She was wearing casual clothes and was casually combing her hair in front of the mirror. When she heard him coming back, she dropped the comb, ran over and threw herself into his arms.
"You're back!"
Xie Yuduo quickly reached out to catch her, but seeing that she was running in a hurry and barefoot, he simply picked her up and carried her into the soft quilt before letting go.
"What a cruel man! You haven't thought about me for five days. Now that my mother is gone, you want me again?"
Shen Qi leaned in his arms and nodded obediently.
Xie Yuduo was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he wrapped her tightly in a brocade quilt and bent down to kiss her black hair.
"Well, I can rank second, only behind my mother, which is not bad."
Chen Qi smiled, but stayed in his arms and refused to get up or let him leave, showing great attachment.
These days, either he or his mother is there.
Today, my mother passed away and he didn't come back. Chen Qi felt empty inside.
"Erlang."
"Um?"
Xie Yuduo felt that something was wrong with the person in his arms.
Chen Qi always directly said "you" or "me", and rarely called him that.
"How is my sister-in-law?"
It can be said to be a narrow escape from death.
This miscarriage was truly devastating, and Sun Xueyi's health was in serious condition. The doctor declared her childlessness impossible, and she considered herself fortunate to have survived.
When Second Aunt learned about this, she cried all day long, and Second Uncle also sighed.
When my grandmother heard the news, she sighed several times and chanted sutras in the Buddhist temple for a longer time.
My eldest brother's mind is still relatively stable, but he looks much more haggard.
He chose his words carefully.
"We have to take care of her slowly. My eldest brother has never left the house and has been taking care of her all the time."
"Will she... die?"
"Don't worry, I won't."
Chen Qi hesitated for a moment, closed her eyes, and finally said it.
"That day, I saw her child."
Xie Yuduo's heart tightened, and he regretted not stopping her. He didn't know what kind of nightmares she had encountered when she was in a coma for several days.
Chen Qi stretched out a slender hand and gestured to him in a low voice.
"It's just this big."
His eyes were filled with guilt, and he gently curled back her outstretched fingers one by one and hid them tightly in his palms. His movements were extremely gentle, and his tone was filled with fear and guilt.
"Are you scared?"
Chen Qi thought back to the scene of that day. She had endured it for a few days, but only at this moment could she hold back and reveal her true feelings.
"Very scared."
The two of them were hugging each other intimately, but she still felt it was not enough, so she simply lay on her side in his arms and hugged his waist.
"These past few days, I've been lucky enough to have Mom with me, so I've been telling me a lot about our childhood. She told me that year, a massive flood struck our hometown, Dongqi County, leaving our family with no way to make a living... Mom was pregnant with me, so she took my eight-year-old brother and followed Dad out to escape the famine... At that time, the family had just reached the entrance of an unfamiliar village, and before they could find a place to stay, Mom's stomach started to hurt..."
She was lost in thought as she spoke. Xie Yuduo did not interrupt her and listened to her patiently.
"Mom said that day, it was already nightfall, and every house in the village was shut up... Daddy hurriedly searched several times before finding a deserted, dilapidated house on the east side of the village... That house didn't even have a roof... Daddy spread a piece of cloth on the ground, and that's how my mom gave birth to me..."
"Then, luckily, it was the fifteenth day of the eighth month, and the moon was very round and bright, so your parents named you Xiaoyue'er, right?"
This is the first time I've heard this story, but I've heard the ending several times.
Chen Qi nodded, raised her face, and asked her again.
"What about you? Where were you born?"
Xie Yuduo had never thought about this question.
All I know is that since my grandfather's generation, the Xie family has bought this large house with four courtyards in Pingshan County.
As far as he could remember, his parents had always lived in the East Courtyard.
"Probably, she was born in our yard."
"Oh. Then...will our child be born here in the future?"
Xie Yuduo was touched when he heard this. He held her face in his warm hands and stared into her tear-stained eyes.
"Were you scared that day and don't want to have a baby?"
"Well... a little bit... But I remember hearing what my eldest brother and the doctor said. He said... my eldest sister-in-law took some medicine a few years ago that hurt her body, so she lost the baby... An ordinary person wouldn't be like that..."
Chen Qi spoke in a low voice and immediately continued.
"Also, after hearing my mother say that she was able to give birth to me in a dilapidated house, I feel less scared."
Xie Yuduo sighed, hugged her tightly, and spoke in a very sincere tone.
"It's okay, we can have no children."
Chen Qi was stunned, looked up and blinked.
"You can't let your mother-in-law hear you say this."
He smiled, and his handsome eyes were full of tenderness.
"Yue'er, do you really want a child?"
"Before, I always wanted to... These past few days, sometimes I think about it, and sometimes I'm a little scared."
"It's okay. If you're afraid, we won't have children."
Chen Qi blinked.
"What about you, don't you want children?"
"I didn't think so."
Chen Qi was a little bit incredulous and hesitated to speak.
"Then... from now on... wouldn't it be... very uncomfortable for you to be alone?"
Seeing her hesitant, he naturally knew what she was talking about. He became interested and started to imitate her.
"I'm a good person... why should I feel so bad?"
Seeing that he was asking a question even though he already knew the answer, Chen Qi blushed immediately, turned away and ignored him, and prepared to get up.
Xie Yuduo smiled, reached out and pulled her back into his arms, then hugged her closer and whispered a few words in her ear.
When Chen Qi heard these words that she had never seen in the little notebook hidden in the bottom of the box, she was surprised, happy, and a little suspicious.
"Really? This way... you won't get pregnant?"
"I've looked up a lot of books, and most of the content is a mixture of truth and falsehood. I've carefully read each one, and only this method is convenient. I just need to choose the right day, and it won't harm my body."
Then he added, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it.
"And...it doesn't have to be...very uncomfortable."
Shen Qi laughed and punched him.
He pretended to hold his chest.
"Ahem...very strong, very good, really much better."
After Chen Qi finished laughing, she looked at her husband's eyes becoming more and more wanton, her Adam's apple rolling, and her heart was slightly beating. She began to count the days on her fingers as he taught her.
"One, two, three, four... so tonight is..."
However, before she could finish her calculation, he leaned in and kissed her.
This kiss was particularly gentle and long, filled with endless tenderness and love.
"Tonight...you can..."
Well, he had already calculated it.
Having not been close for many days, both of them were a little impatient.
Xie Yuduo, however, took pity on her as she had just recovered from a serious illness and was unwilling to be too reckless. Instead, he showed her tenderness...
…
As the ice and snow were melting, the long icicle under the eaves, inhaled by the lingering heat, began to drip down, gradually melting into gurgling spring water, rippling back and forth endlessly...
…
Winter is not far away, and another spring night has arrived.
