When Fu Shen returned to his room after taking a shower, he found that Su Yue was already fast asleep.
He quietly closed the door and walked to the bedside. He slowly knelt down, gazing tenderly at her peaceful sleeping face. As he looked at her, he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her delicate cheek.
The time they actually spent together was far less than the time he spent on missions, but she had already been deeply engraved in his heart like a brand.
During his missions, aside from the tense moments of fighting to the death with the enemy, her image and smile would involuntarily appear in his mind.
He was filled with worry: was she doing well at home? Was anyone bullying her? Was she tired from being pregnant?
Thinking of this, Fu Shen's gaze unconsciously fell on Su Yue's protruding belly.
At this moment, Su Yue was sleeping soundly on her side. You should know that she has never liked sleeping on her side, but now she has to change her habit for the sake of the child in her womb, so how could she not be tired?
Fu Shen carefully approached Su Yue's belly, gently placing his large hand on it, his tone full of doting affection and admonition: "Baby, when you're about to come out, don't bother your mother too much, or I'll 'beat' you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a small foot gently kick his hand.
This sudden little action stunned Fu Shen, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The little one in her belly seemed to have no response from her father and kicked hard again, waking Su Yue from her sleep.
She couldn't help but hiss softly. Fu Shen immediately reacted, looking at her with concern in his eyes: "Did he kick you hard?"
Su Yue smiled and said softly, "A little, but..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Shen put on a stern face and said seriously to her stomach, "You kicked your mother and hurt her."
Su Yue asked doubtfully, "He used to only move slightly. Did you say something to him? Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing this."
She knows her baby in her belly too well. Since she started feeling fetal movement, the little one only moves occasionally during the day and is mostly quiet at night, as demure as a little girl.
When I went for a stroll with Grandma Yang before, the other old ladies all said that judging from the way she was pregnant, it was a boy.
At the time, she thought that it wouldn't do for a boy to be so gentle. After he was born, she couldn't be soft-hearted and had to hand him over to Fu Shen for proper training. She was sure that he could be raised into a little man.
After saying that, Su Yue tried to sit up, but Fu Shen quickly reached out and helped her up steadily. Then, standing by the bed, he awkwardly touched his nose and honestly said, "I told you."
Su Yue looked up and asked curiously, "What did he say? Don't be fooled by the fact that he's still in your belly; he knows everything."
Fu Shen was a little surprised to hear this.
“I just told him to stop bothering you when he came out. He first kicked you lightly, then kicked you again, and that woke you up.”
Su Yue said thoughtfully, "So the child's first kick was a response to you, and he only used a little more force when he didn't get a response from you."
Fu Shen nodded: "That should be the case."
I couldn't help but marvel: it's incredible that it could understand human speech even while still in the womb.
The three- or four-year-old toddlers in the army, their mothers were yelling at the top of their lungs not to run, but they acted as if they didn't hear them and ran as fast as they could.
I wonder if, after his and Su Yue's child is born, he will pretend not to hear what they are saying, just like those naughty little kids.
Su Yue suddenly felt her stomach move again, and she quickly looked at Fu Shen and said, "The baby moved again."
Fu Shen hurriedly squatted down, leaned over the bed, and carefully placed his hand on Su Yue's stomach.
He said with a shocked expression, "This time it's not little feet, it looks like little hands."
To let Fu Shen see more clearly, Su Yue gently lifted the clothes covering her stomach.
Fu Shen saw a tiny hand slowly emerge from her belly; he had never seen such a small hand before.
This scene was truly shocking. A vibrant little life was growing inside a person's belly. The baby could grow safely without breathing, interact with the person, and even understand the emotions in their voice.
The feeling of seeing with your own eyes and touching with your own hands is completely different.
Fu Shen gently tapped the little hand on Su Yue's belly with his finger. Su Yue looked at his childish appearance and couldn't help but laugh to herself as she imitated his little gestures to amuse the child.
