Seeing how hard Li Xin was working, He Beichen just hugged him tighter. He wished he could take her place, so that she could suffer less.
However, due to the natural physical differences between men and women, he could not bear the responsibility for her.
When she was pregnant, Li Xin was not in good condition and always vomited after eating.
It was not until nearly three months later that the situation improved. At least he could smell some meat and fish without having to cover his face and run away.
"These fish are very nutritious. Since you can eat them now, take them out of the space. It's his good fortune that they have been raised for so long." He Beichen looked at the table and saw that there was finally some meat on it. Thinking of the fish he bought last month, he reminded softly.
Li Xin thought about it and agreed, so he took the fish out of the space and threw it into the bucket. During the time in the space, it was doing well, swaying and full of energy, and seemed to have become fatter.
"This little guy has lived with me for so long, I have some feelings for him..." Li Xin said, and poked it gently. The fish inside did not dodge, but let Li Xin do it.
It was this attitude of not dodging or evading that made Li Xin's heart feel a little softer.
After all, it was bought to nourish her body, but due to her current condition, she could not stand any fishy smell, so she had to give up. But she didn't want to waste it, so she had to go into the space every now and then to change the water for the fish.
"So... do you want to keep it?" He Beichen's eyelids twitched and he rubbed his eyebrows. Pregnant women always have a lot of strange ideas, and he should accept them.
"Just keep it and eat other fish later. It's not difficult to buy a fish." Li Xin looked up at He Beichen and blinked, deciding its fate.
The little fish seemed to know that it could survive, and it swung its tail faster, stirring up some water that splashed onto Li Xin.
"If you continue to be so naughty, I will kill you tonight." Li Xin supported his head with his hands and teased lazily, but the smile in his eyes became more and more obvious.
Seeing that she was in a playful mood, He Beichen shook his head and sighed slightly, then resigned himself to his fate and went out to look for the next poor little fish.
In order to prevent Li Xin from feeling overly sympathetic, the fish was not allowed to meet Li Xin until it was served.
The milky white fish soup did not have any fishy smell. Sanmao's cooking skills were impeccable. Especially when he knew that Li Xin was sensitive to these smells, he was even more cautious.
"Master, please try it~" Sanmao spoke softly with eager eyes, looking like a good child waiting for praise.
"Okay." Li Xin nodded and picked out some fish bones. The fish meat melted in his mouth and tasted even better with some green onions.
Li Xin ate a big bowl of fish soup mixed with rice. Seeing her appetite increase visibly, He Beichen finally felt relieved.
"If you like, I will buy you fish these days." Because he didn't know what Li Xin could eat, nor what she wanted to eat, He Beichen now just wanted to send her everything he thought was good.
Even if Li Xin only tasted it twice, it was considered as eaten!
"My reaction is much weaker now. I don't vomit after eating like before. I'm not so precious anymore." Li Xin shook his head.
People will get bored if they always eat the same thing. Anyway, Sanmao is a good cook and she makes adjustments in various aspects, so she is still very satisfied with the food.
"It's just... I don't know when mom and dad will come." Li Xin muttered, touching her belly with her hand, but her eyes drifted away in a lonely manner. Although He Beichen was always by her side, she always missed her mother a little when she was pregnant.
"It should be soon, right?"
My father-in-law and mother-in-law did mention this matter, but they are researchers after all, and their status is special, so it is not easy for them to ask for leave.
Moreover, these two people need to go through layers of procedures to get out, and they also need to wait for approval. The process is quite troublesome. Calculating the time, the procedures should have been approved by now.
…
When they were about to leave, Su Miao took the initiative to call Li Xin. Thinking of how busy she had been recently, she couldn't help but sigh with a slight smile on her face.
"You are calling now, are you about to leave?" Li Xin said this with some anticipation.
She has been well taken care of at home lately, but she always feels like something is missing when she doesn't see her parents.
Especially the various reactions of morning sickness made Li Xin feel the difficulties of being a mother.
"We have already taken half a month's leave. It won't be long before we can come to see you directly, but..." Su Miao couldn't help feeling sentimental when she thought about how their family was rarely together.
"There's no way the matter of coming to see me will change, right?" Li Xin was originally full of excitement, but when she heard that turn of events, it was as if she was poured with cold water, and her heart was clenched.
"No, no, I was just calculating the time. I still need to sort out some things at the research institute, so I can probably leave... around next Tuesday."
Su Miao just felt that time passed too slowly. They hadn't seen Li Xin for a long time!
"It's great to be able to see you for half a month. I'll clean up the bedroom now. You're welcome to come over." Li Xin nodded quickly, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but start to get busy, picking up some things at home, tidying up, and cleaning. He Beichen saw that she was pacing all the time and felt a little sorry for her, afraid that she would be tired.
"Sanmao has already kept the house very clean inside and out. You don't need to keep working so hard. You're really exhausted. We are the ones who feel sorry for you."
Hearing He Beichen's words, Li Xin immediately glared at him with some dissatisfaction. She sat directly next to He Beichen with a rag in her hand: "Do I look a lot different now?"
"It's okay. Your parents-in-law will only feel sorry for you when they see you like this. Just eat more and make up for the lost weight." He Beichen reached out and touched Li Xin's face. Ever since the morning sickness started, Li Xin vomited everything she ate and lost a lot of weight.
I just started eating normally these past two days and have managed to get my energy back a little bit.
"Then you must remember, our parents have just told you the date, remember to pick them up." Li Xin thought about it and still gave some worried reminder.
She didn't know if it was because of her pregnancy, but she always felt that her memory seemed to have deteriorated a little.
Seeing that Li Xin looked a little dazed, He Beichen just took the rag from her hand, hugged her in his arms, and smelled the faint fragrance on Li Xin's body.
"Don't worry, I've remembered it and won't forget it." He Beichen smiled again, "I'm not stupid enough to let my father-in-law and mother-in-law find opportunities to pick on me."
What if the two elders think that he has not taken good care of Li Xin and take him directly to the capital?
"I'm just worried you'll forget."
“…Actually, you’re the only one who will forget.”
He had long noticed that his young wife's memory had deteriorated, but he just didn't say it!
