Chapter 124 I didn't misjudge the person
Guo Zhenyi stood aside and couldn't help but sigh.
This Sister Yao is even more nervous than the two of us. She even checks the nutritional balance of our meals. She's stricter than our own mother.
She ruined all the warm atmosphere I had worked so hard to create.
Where is there any chance left to express any warmth?
He could only silently pick up a piece of food with his chopsticks, not daring to say a word.
"Alright, alright, let's eat. How well I've done is clear from my actions, isn't it?"
Zhou Shufen couldn't help but laugh as she watched their interaction.
The meal was a lively and enjoyable affair.
Even as Yao Mingzhu was about to leave, she didn't forget to tug at Guo Zhenyi's sleeve and give him repeated instructions.
"You better remember this: you must take good care of Zhou Shufen and not let her suffer any injustice, do you hear me?"
With a bang, the door slammed shut, and the room fell silent.
Guo Zhenyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Surely it's not that serious? Sister Yao only said a few words, and you're acting like you're running for your life?"
Zhou Shufen couldn't help but laugh and joke.
"What do you think? She came in like a whirlwind, talking non-stop like a machine gun. Her words were so loud that my head was spinning and I couldn't keep up. Never mind, let's not talk about her anymore. I'll go get you some hot water to soak your feet and relax."
Guo Zhenyi shrugged helplessly and nodded, admitting that he really couldn't handle it.
He got up and went into the bathroom.
A short while later, he came out carrying the basin of warm water.
He crouched down and reached out to untie her shoelaces.
Hey! What are you doing?!
Zhou Shufen abruptly pulled her foot back, a blush instantly rising to her face.
"I can do it myself! You really don't need to lift a finger!"
From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever washed her feet.
Now, having a man serve her personally made her feel awkward.
"What are you shy about? Your hand is not working properly right now, so what's wrong with me helping you? We're not strangers."
Guo Zhenyi reached out and pressed down on her calf.
"You're so annoying."
Zhou Shufen complained, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
After washing his feet, Guo Zhenyi pulled out a clean set of cotton pajamas.
Seeing that she was having difficulty getting dressed, I simply helped her change.
Finally, he patted the pillow to make her lie down comfortably.
For the next few days, Guo Zhenyi was like a personal butler, always at your beck and call, and meticulous in every detail.
Even when she wakes up in the middle of the night wanting a drink of water, he can immediately pour it for her and bring it to her bedside.
As Zhou Shufen watched him bustling back and forth in the small room, a long-lost sense of peace gradually welled up in her heart.
She thought to herself, "This time I really didn't misjudge him."
Guo Zhenyi is that kind of person; he doesn't say many sweet words, but his actions are more reliable than anyone else's.
He's the kind of person you can trust with peace of mind!
The two of them have been getting closer lately, and the way they address each other has changed.
Guo Zhenyi had just cut a plate of fresh fruit.
He picked up a bamboo skewer and held it to Zhou Shufen's mouth.
"Here, have a bite. It's freshly cut and very sweet."
Zhou Shufen glanced at the fruit platter and her brows furrowed involuntarily.
She's been eating this so much these past few days.
He eats three meals a day on time, and he even gives him extra meals in between.
My stomach feels bloated from morning till night, and even burping feels uncomfortable.
She took another bite, and she felt like the juice was about to spill out of her mouth.
"Eating again? I'm already bursting, I really can't eat any more."
She pouted, looking aggrieved.
"Just one bite, it's fruit, it'll give you some vitamins, it's good for your health."
Guo Zhenyi smiled.
"I'm really tired of eating this. You eat it yourself, don't force it on me."
Zhou Shufen waved her hand repeatedly.
"I eat it every day, and I'm starting to feel nauseous just looking at fruit peels."
"Just this one piece, I won't let you touch any more, I'll eat the rest myself."
Zhou Shufen could only sigh and resignedly open her mouth.
She gently pushed him, with a hint of coquettishness.
"Alright? Take it away now. I want to hide whenever I see fruit. If I don't eat it, I'm afraid I'll dream that fruit grows legs and chases me."
A satisfied smile appeared on Guo Zhenyi's lips.
A knocking sound came from the doorway.
Zhou Shufen's eyes lit up, and a hint of joy flashed in her pupils.
She quickly raised her hand to greet Guo Zhenyi.
"Open the door, it's Guifang! I was just wondering why she hadn't arrived yet."
Qin Guifang said she wanted to come and visit her, and bring some chicken soup and tonics that she had made herself.
Zhou Shufen was initially unwilling, after all, she was pregnant and she was afraid that something might happen to her on the way.
But Qin Guifang was also concerned about her situation.
She insisted.
"Mom, I'm just walking a few steps, it's not like I'm climbing mountains, please don't always treat me like a porcelain doll."
Unable to resist her insistence, Zhou Shufen had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Guo Zhenyi went to open the door.
"Coming, coming. It's chilly outside, so don't keep them waiting too long."
Standing outside the door was Qin Guifang.
She was holding a thermos in her arms, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
"Come on in, it's cold outside."
Guo Zhenyi warmly invited her into the house and then quickly closed the door.
As soon as Qin Guifang entered the room, her gaze fell on Zhou Shufen, and her eyes widened immediately.
She noticed that her mother-in-law's face was much rounder than before, with a healthy blush on her cheeks.
"Mom, you look great! Have things been going well for you lately? Can you move your hand now?"
Qin Guifang quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's alright, I can move around slowly now."
Zhou Shufen's smile was gentle and content.
She raised her right hand, gently clenched her fist, and then slowly opened it again.
She glanced at Qin Guifang's belly, and her tone immediately softened.
"You must be about to give birth soon? You look exhausted."
Zhou Shufen said with heartache.
"Your body is getting heavier every day, so you have to take it easy and don't push yourself too hard."
"Yes, I feel heavier and heavier these days, and it's hard to move even a little bit."
Qin Guifang smiled gently.
"It's difficult to even turn over at night. The doctor said my due date is in the next week or two, so I have to be prepared at any time."
"Has the hospital been arranged yet? Don't start scrambling at the last minute."
Zhou Shufen asked, still worried.
"Have you packed everything that needs packing? Don't be caught off guard later."
"It's all arranged. It's the same place we've been checking."
Qin Guifang nodded, a look of relief on her face.
Her hand had just touched her abdomen when she suddenly froze.
Something's not right.
She felt a sudden, sharp pain in her stomach, which made her gasp.
Immediately afterwards, a warm liquid gushed out from beneath her.
She looked down and saw that her crotch was soaked.
"Mom...am I...am I about to give birth?"
Her lips trembled slightly, and her face paled instantly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shufen immediately looked up at her.
She followed Qin Guifang's gaze and looked down.
I immediately understood... my water broke, contractions started, and I was really going to give birth.
"Isn't your due date still a while away? How come it's happening so fast?"
Qin Guifang panicked completely, and her hand uncontrollably grabbed Zhou Shufen's arm.
"Don't be nervous, it's very common to have the baby a few days early. Doctors have said that this is not uncommon. It's probably because of the bumpy ride and your emotional fluctuations that the baby came out early."
