Chapter 85
The fluorescent tubes in the hospital corridor were crackling. Mu Qingxuan was half-hugged by Huo Changfeng as she walked forward, her hair still lingering with the scent of cedar mixed with mint from his body.
Thinking of the conversation in the clinic, the tips of her ears began to feel hot again. She suddenly broke free from his arms, her eyes wide open.
"Huo Changfeng, if you dare to think about those messy things again, I...I will give you ten needles to calm your nerves!"
Huo Changfeng put one hand in his pocket, the hem of his shirt swayed slightly with his steps, and the curve of the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.
He leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her red earlobe: "What are you thinking? I'm just following the doctor's instructions. But someone..."
Huo Changfeng deliberately dragged out the last word and gently brushed her hot cheek with his fingertips.
"Such a big reaction, is there something wrong?"
Mu Qingxuan opened her mouth, but was speechless due to his blunt teasing.
She stamped her feet, turned around and was about to leave.
But Huo Changfeng grabbed her with his long arms and brought her into his arms.
"Don't be angry."
He lowered his head and placed a kiss on the top of her head, his voice low and smiling: "Since Xuanxuan is so curious, let's practice and learn tonight?"
"Huo Changfeng!"
Mu Qingxuan's face instantly burned to the neck, and she punched him hard on the chest with her pink fist.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will really ignore you!"
Her eyes were wide open and her eyelashes were trembling uncontrollably, revealing her inner panic.
Huo Changfeng laughed softly, held her rebellious hand, intertwined their fingers, and led her out of the hospital.
No more talking.
After helping Mu Qingxuan get into the car, Huo Changfeng started the car.
Mu Qingxuan looked at the street scene that was receding outside the car window and realized that the route was not the direction back to the hotel. She turned around in confusion and asked, "Where are we going?"
Huo Changfeng freed one hand and tucked her scattered hair behind her ear. When his fingertips brushed her red earlobe, he deliberately stayed there for two more seconds.
"Go to the Friendship Store."
His eyes were focused on the road conditions, but his Adam's apple rolled slightly: "I need to buy some baby products and stock up on some pregnancy care books."
He turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of seriousness: "I am so lacking in basic common sense now. I can't always be so vulnerable in the future. It's really not right."
"I want to take good care of you."
Mu Qingxuan looked at his angular profile. The warm sun cast a layer of warm light on him, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She quietly leaned towards him, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and she hummed softly: "Hmm."
The two bought many popular science books on pregnancy care knowledge at the Friendship Store.
Huo Changfeng bought Mu Qingxuan a lot of beautiful fashionable clothes of the season, and then went to a state-owned restaurant to have a sumptuous lunch.
Mu Qingxuan yawned and muttered, "I haven't bought the gifts for my parents yet."
Huo Jianye and Cui Lirong were both very nice to her. She had originally planned to bring back some Yongyu specialties after arriving in Yongyu.
But unexpectedly, there have been many incidents in the past few days and my life has not been peaceful.
Mu Qingxuan didn't have time to go shopping.
Seeing that she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, Huo Changfeng rubbed her palms distressedly and said in a deep voice: "Go back to the hotel and have a good rest first, and then go out for a walk in the afternoon."
Mu Qingxuan had already rested her chin on Huo Changfeng's strong and powerful arm, and her eyelids were becoming heavier and heavier.
She nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing this, Huo Changfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he put his arms around Mu Qingxuan's waist and hugged her.
When he put the person in the passenger seat, he was surprised to find that Mu Qingxuan had already fallen asleep.
Her slightly messy hair fell on her cheeks, and her black hair made her face look rosy.
Huo Changfeng's protruding Adam's apple rolled. After fastening her seat belt, he slowly drove back to the hotel.
He carefully carried Mu Qingxuan from the narrow compartment all the way back to the room, took off her coat and shoes, wiped her hands and feet, and then gently tucked her back into the quilt.
Huo Changfeng untied her pigtails and watched indulgingly as Mu Qingxuan's black hair danced freely between his fingers.
He waited until Huo Changfeng cleaned himself up before going to bed with him.
He waved his hand and took Mu Qingxuan into his arms.
Her slender back pressed against his broad chest.
Huo Changfeng smelled the fragrance of Mu Qingxuan's hair and slowly closed his eyes.

In the hotel room, dusk crept in silently through the gaps in the gauze curtains, shrouding the two people sleeping in each other's arms on the bed in gentle shadows.
Mu Qingxuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was the first to wake up from her sleep.
In the dim light, I felt that the surroundings were too quiet.
She turned her head to look out the window, only to realize that night had already fallen and the street lights were emitting warm yellow halos in the rain.
"Changfeng, wake up."
She reached out and gently patted the cheek of the person next to her, her fingertips touching the slightly prickly stubble on his chin.
Huo Changfeng frowned, subconsciously tightened his long arms, and pulled her closer to his arms. His deep voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up: "Sleep a little longer..."
"It's already dark!"
Mu Qingxuan scolded him and increased her strength.
Huo Changfeng then slowly opened his eyes, with sleepiness still lingering in his deep pupils, but his gaze instantly became hot when it touched her messy hair and flushed cheeks.
Mu Qingxuan didn't have time to pay attention to him. She got out of bed, dressed, and prepared to go out.
Huo Changfeng had no choice but to shake his head to get rid of the beautiful thoughts in his mind.
After washing and tidying up, the two walked out of the hotel.
Neon lights flickered on the street and the aroma of food filled the air. They casually walked into a Japanese restaurant and ordered a few special dishes.
At the dining table, Huo Changfeng carefully picked out the fish bones and put the tender fish meat into Mu Qingxuan's bowl.
After dinner, they walked to the state-owned store with a clear purpose.
The shelves are filled with a wide variety of Yongyu specialties.
Mu Qingxuan was choosing with great interest, and from time to time she held up the beautifully packaged snacks and teas and asked Huo Changfeng for his opinion.
Huo Changfeng stood beside her the whole time, giving her advice patiently, his eyes full of doting.
Finally, they returned home with bags full of local specialties.
It was already late at night when we returned to the hotel.
After the hot steam from the bathroom dissipated, Mu Qingxuan came out wrapped in a soft bath towel, with water droplets dripping from the ends of her hair.
Huo Changfeng was seen wearing a bathrobe, half leaning against the head of the bed, his slender fingers flipping through the pregnancy care books he had bought during the day.
He looks very focused.
Mu Qingxuan moved closer curiously, her warm breath brushing against his neck.
But when I turned the page, I could see the big words "Precautions for couples to take when having sex after three months of pregnancy".
She instantly remembered the conversation in the clinic that day, and her cheeks suddenly turned red as if blood would drip out.
"What book did you buy?"
She pouted and gently hit Huo Changfeng's chest with her pink fist.
Huo Changfeng was also stunned, then reacted and spread his hands helplessly: "The goods in the Friendship Store are all imported from abroad. Foreigners write books so directly."
As he said that, he threw the book aside, wrapped his arms around her waist, gently picked her up, and placed her on his lap.
