The nights in early spring were still a little chilly. The wind came in through the cracks in the window that was not closed tightly, blowing off the petals of the forsythia in the vase.
The room was a little too quiet, and Mu Huaixi licked his lips helplessly.
She lowered her head as soon as she finished speaking, thinking that Ying Mingcheng would ask further questions, but the room fell silent and she didn't get a response from the other party for a long time.
"Actually, it's not necessarily that you're pregnant," Mu Huaixi lowered her eyelashes, her wings fluttering restlessly like a butterfly. "Maybe I took the pulse wrong. The month is early, and the pulse is really not accurate."
In fact, she didn't believe she was pregnant more than anyone else.
In her previous life, she had no chance of having children and was unwilling to have them. Her life was hard enough on her own, so why would she give birth to a child and have him suffer in the world as well?
When Mu Huaixi was working in a nursing home, he saw many children accompanying their parents to visit the elderly. Some of the children were well-educated and behaved gracefully. They would bring musical instruments to play for their grandparents and actively participate in the activities of the nursing home.
But there are also children who don’t like this place very much. As soon as they arrive, they sit in the corridor and play games, swearing from time to time, and ignore the elderly who greet them.
Those who can send their elderly to nursing homes generally have some financial foundation. Of course, poor families can also produce noble sons, but Mu Huaixi sees more cases where even if you have money, you may not necessarily raise good children.
Some people say that loving someone is like loving flowers, so raising a child must be like nurturing the most delicate flower in the world. Watering and fertilizing are not enough, guidance and education are also needed, otherwise what you grow will be either weeds or poisonous weeds.
Some people also say that raising children is a way to prepare for old age, and that old age without children is boring and sad. Mu Huaixi was alone in her previous life, which was indeed very miserable, but she was reluctant to have a child to suffer with her.
She didn't know how to raise a child, or even whether she should expect one. This was completely different from her delivering babies or taking Liu Qing's pulse. No wonder some senior doctors said doctors don't treat themselves. Who wouldn't panic when it comes to matters concerning themselves?
In her new life, she thought about carrying forward the Mu family's medical skills and living a good life with Ying Mingcheng, but she never thought that she would have a child!
She gently touched her belly, but still couldn't believe that there was a little life in her belly that was connected to her blood.
"How will the child's father react?"
Mu Huaixi raised her eyes and glanced at the man opposite the table on the kang, but saw his hand wiping across her eyes.
"Crying?"
Mu Huaixi raised her head in disbelief, and the insecurity in her heart that had arisen because he had not responded was shattered.
Ying Mingcheng turned his face away in embarrassment, scratched his face twice, then moved the table away, walked forward and took the person into his arms.
"I..." He wanted to explain that he was just too shocked, but his words were still trembling with sobs. He could only hug her tighter and bury his head in her shoulder.
When Ying Mingcheng heard the words "I and the child", his mind went blank. It took him a long time to realize that Xiaoxi was pregnant!
Pregnant!
The ecstasy hit him like a strong wind and huge waves. Even a tough guy like him who had experienced many storms could not resist this new experience - he was going to be a father!
They have a baby!
Joy turned into a warm current and somehow flowed out of his eyes. Ying Mingcheng didn't want Xiaoxi to see his vulnerability, so he quickly wiped away his tears. But before the wave of ecstasy subsided, endless worry surged in his heart.
"Why does it have to be when he's about to go on a mission? This mission is going to be quite long, and he'll have to prepare for a major military training when he returns. Can Xiaoxi handle it by herself at home?"
In fact, in his heart, Xiao Xi is still like a child who has not grown up. Even though she has established herself in the health center and is a respected doctor, he still thinks she is still a little girl who needs care.
Ying Mingcheng held her tighter, with a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to say, but in the end, he only said one sentence, "Thank you."
"Thank you, Xiaoxi."
Mu Huaixi was a little frightened at first, but when Ying Mingcheng hugged her and she felt his warmth on her shoulder, her panic was inexplicably calmed.
The tears he couldn't hide told her that she wasn't the only one who was looking forward to it. Although the unknowns of raising a child frightened her, she couldn't help but feel anticipation within her fear, anticipating the fruit of their child's birth.
Ying Mingcheng's nonsensical thanks relaxed her tense nerves. She raised her hand and gently stroked his short hair, comforting him as he comforted her. "What are you thanking me for? Isn't this our child?"
"It's different. You will suffer." Ying Mingcheng thought, how can it be the same? He thought of the pregnant woman he captured during the last mission. Her legs and feet were swollen and her face looked bad.
When he thought about Xiaoxi having to endure all these hardships and that he couldn't help her at all because he was on a mission, he felt even more sorry. "I'm sorry, I can't be at home with you."
"I can take care of myself," Mu Huaixi patted his back. "It will be three or four months since you came back. I'll check my pulse then to confirm. What if I'm wrong?"
"How could you be wrong?" Ying Mingcheng believed in her medical skills even more than she did. He suddenly remembered Xiaoxi's strange reaction in the kitchen just now. "Could it be that you hesitated to tell me because you didn't trust your own medical skills?"
"Well," Mu Huaixi felt a little embarrassed and buried herself deeper in his arms. "Originally, I was planning to wait a little longer and tell you when the month is a little later. But you said you were going on a mission, and I was afraid you would worry..."
She really didn't plan to tell Ying Mingcheng so early, but she also knew that her emotions were not right and she couldn't hide it from him at all. She was afraid that he would worry about her when he went on a mission, so she took the initiative to confess.
She buried herself too deep, and the sound that came out was vague and buzzing, but Ying Mingcheng listened very carefully, so carefully that he couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I laughed at you for being a good and obedient girl." Ying Mingcheng heard the shyness hidden under her innocent complaints and couldn't help but curse himself in his heart. In his heart, Xiao Xi was a sensitive and kind person, like a piece of jade, which needed constant care to become warm.
Just now, she took a step back in the kitchen. Ying Mingcheng thought she was upset about something and was worried that she would become the cold Xiao Xi again after he was away on a mission for so long.
But he didn't expect that she had quietly opened her heart to him, was willing to worry about him, and was willing to be honest with him.
"Xiao Xi, we have to be like this from now on. We should tell each other everything and not hide anything."
"Um."
