Chapter 952 There's always a child in the family who will take my surname.
On the evening of December 2nd, Lu Yuanqiu suddenly had a whim to take Bai Qingxia to see a movie.
What's so good about cartoons?
"What cartoon? This is anime, it's really good."
"Have you seen it?"
"Uh... I've read the novel."
Lu Yuanqiu turned around and smiled at her.
In early December, the temperature in Lucheng had dropped to single digits, with a huge temperature difference between day and night. Lu Yuanqiu put on his down jacket, slid a few steps on the floor, and then came to Bai Qingxia's side.
He bent down and touched Bai Qingxia's slightly protruding belly: "Let's give the baby some love education in advance... Even though we're doing prenatal education every day, do you think he might actually fall in love early in the future?"
"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth." Bai Qingxia chopped him on the head with a chop.
"What's the name of the movie?" she asked, still dressed.
Lu Yuanqiu: "Your name."
"My name?" Bai Qingxia asked, a series of question marks on her face.
Lu Yuanqiu straightened up: "The movie will be called 'Your Name'."
Bai Qingxia was shocked: "Bai Qingxia!"
Wei Yimin's behavior is actually contagious... Lu Yuanqiu gently poked her forehead and raised his index finger to gesture: "Book title marks, your name, these four characters."
Many elements in this movie were novel to him, which led Lu Yuanqiu, who didn't particularly like anime, to become a fan and a loyal Makoto Shinkai fan.
I vaguely remember dreaming of becoming a romance novelist one year... What a distant memory.
Bai Qingxia muttered, "What a strange name."
“My name is Bai Qingxia, your name is Lu Yuanqiu, and his name is…” On the way to the movie theater, Bai Qingxia held Lu Yuanqiu’s arm with her left hand, pointed back and forth with her right hand, and finally pointed to her lower abdomen.
The swelling in her lower abdomen was a new experience for her, and she hadn't really gotten used to the change yet. She would often touch it, finding it quite addictive.
Lu Yuanqiu: "Call him Lu Tiezhu."
He laughed after he finished speaking, realizing there was another meaning behind it.
"Okay, Tiezhu, Tiezhu, please respond." Bai Qingxia's hand was stroking her lower abdomen clockwise.
Just then, a calico cat suddenly darted past them. Bai Qingxia was startled and took a step back. Lu Yuanqiu quickly reached out to help her up: "Are you alright?"
She shook her head, then touched her lower abdomen and asked with concern, "Tiezhu, Tiezhu, are you alright?"
Lu Yuanqiu said with a crooked mouth, "Don't be unable to change your mind later."
Bai Qingxia: "If it can't be changed, it can't be changed."
Lu Yuanqiu: "Hiss—the most poisonous heart is a woman's. He will never be able to hold his head up in front of his friends."
"That's your fault too."
Inside the movie theater, Bai Qingxia initially enjoyed the scene of the male and female bodies swapping, but gradually she seemed to find the plot rather bland and even started yawning. However, after learning the truth about the female lead's death, she suddenly perked up and brought the back of her hand to Lu Yuanqiu's face, saying, "I'm getting goosebumps."
Lu Yuanqiu was so engrossed in watching that he didn't say anything, but habitually brought her hand to his lips and kissed it.
As the movie ended and the end credits rolled, Bai Qingxia couldn't help but let out a wistful "Ah."
On the way back, she kept praising the movie's plot, saying it was unforgettable. Lu Yuanqiu felt very satisfied listening to her. This feeling of successfully recommending the movie was indeed very pleasant. He then told Bai Qingxia many small details from the movie, which made the girl blink in surprise. Lu Yuanqiu felt even more pleased.
Suddenly the two stopped in their tracks and saw a calico cat blocking their way.
"Meow~" The calico cat raised its head, then sat down, its tail curling in front of it to cover the two small bamboo shoots on the ground.
Lu Yuanqiu raised an eyebrow warily: "What's this guy up to? Is he trying to steal my wife?"
"You're insane." Bai Qingxia turned to look at the madman next to her.
She was about to bend down and touch it when Lu Yuanqiu stopped her, saying, "Be careful not to scratch yourself."
The calico cat meowed and came over, tilting its head to rub against Bai Qingxia's leg. Then, it walked gracefully towards the bushes. When it saw that the two hadn't followed, it stopped, turned around, and meowed again.
"I suddenly have a premonition..." Lu Yuanqiu muttered.
The two followed the cat through the bushes. The calico cat that had led the way stopped at the base of a wall, turned around and sat obediently on the ground. It raised its front paws and licked its fur, then went about doing something else. On the old clothes next to it, a small golden and white kitten was wriggling forward, its eyes not yet fully open, and it was making baby-like cries.
Bai Qingxia subconsciously touched her lower abdomen and turned to look at Lu Yuanqiu.
Lu Yuanqiu tilted his head and looked at her: "No."
"Honey~"
"..."
Courtyard No. 1.
Lu Yuanqiu sat on the sofa and ordered goat milk powder and baby bottles for delivery on his phone. He couldn't help but mutter, "Outrageous, I actually adopted a little stray cat."
“Bai Jinjin isn’t a stray kitten. It’s actually very pretty, with gold and white fur.” Bai Qingxia squatted down next to the kitten, and gently poked the kitten’s head with her finger.
"You've already chosen a name in less than half an hour? Bai Jinjin? It'll take your surname?"
Bai Qingxia raised her head and explained, "There will always be one child in the family who takes my surname."
"Damn it, now there are two people with the surname Bai in the family. My Lu family is outnumbered!" Lu Yuanqiu threw his phone on the sofa and grabbed his hair with both hands, shaking his head wildly.
"He's acting crazy again... What's the rush? Isn't the second one with the surname Lu about to be born?" Bai Qingxia stared at him with eyes as wide as saucers.
"Let me see if it's male or female." Lu Yuanqiu stepped forward and turned the kitten over.
Bai Qingxia leaned closer, then widened her eyes: "There's no little chirp."
Lu Yuanqiu: "Same as you."
"..."
On the third day after adopting Bai Jinjin, all of Bai Qingxia's friends, except for the elders in the family, knew about it. This was because Bai Qingxia, who was usually a screen-peeping maniac, changed her usual persona and took the initiative to pop up in the group chat and posted more than ten photos of the kitten.
Chung Kam-ching: Wasn't your due date next year? You've already given birth?
Luo Wei: Don't worry, I just beat him half to death.
Lu Yuanqiu: Thank you for your help, brave warrior.
The next day, Su Miaomiao and Zheng Yifeng came to visit. In the following days, Liu Wangchun and Long Liandong also came. The group of people acted as if they had never seen a cat before, and they rushed to take pictures with their mobile phones.
Bai Qingxia was terrified when Zhong Yuanshuo arrived. She turned her head and didn't notice that Bai Jinjin's wailing was coming from the living room. She ran over to see what was going on and saw that the brat had grabbed Bai Jinjin by the cat's tail and lifted him into the air.
After getting a cat, Bai Qingxia's phone search history was filled with all sorts of common sense about cat care. It was as if she was learning how to take care of a child in advance, and she knew it very meticulously. On the other hand, Lu Yuanqiu's phone was filled with a bunch of historical search records for "Is it harmful to pregnant women to keep cats?" and big data pushes such as "The disadvantages of keeping cats".
There were many different opinions online, but Lu Yuanqiu still respected Bai Qingxia's wishes, especially since she took good care of the kitten and kept it very clean.
She seems to have already prepared herself to be a good mother.
Two chapters will be updated normally after midnight.
