Chi Xingyue's face was flushed from her sleep, and she showed no signs of waking up.
Ling Jiheng took off his coat that was stained with wind and snow, went to the fire wall to warm himself from the cold, then went to the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down.
Chi Xingyue's even breathing made his heart feel calmer than ever before.
Ling Jiheng's fingers gently stroked her cheeks, the ends of her hair, and finally stopped at her bulging belly.
He gently put his arms around her waist and closed his eyes to take a nap.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was too warm, Ling Jiheng actually fell asleep.
It was not until Baozhu came and knocked on the door that he suddenly woke up.
When I got dressed and went out, I saw her and Erzhu holding food, standing at the door waiting for instructions.
"Second Young Master, Doctor Cheng said that Second Young Master's wife should eat small meals frequently. This servant has cooked bird's nest porridge for her."
Ling Jiheng let someone in and put the things on the table.
Erzhu pointed to the food box in the middle of the table and said, "Master, this is the lotus root and pork rib soup and pot stickers that the old lady sent over. Aunt Taohua just made them, so eat them while they're hot."
The old lady said that it was cold and the roads were slippery, so she wouldn't invite everyone to Rongsiyuan for dinner today.
If you have anything you want to eat, tell me and I will make it for you."
Ling Jiheng heard his subtext - the weather is too cold, please don't bother my future daughter-in-law, call me if you have any problems, I have thick skin and can handle it!
Ling Jiheng smiled and tapped Erzhu's nose, telling him to get out.
Erzhu thanked him with a playful smile, took Baozhu away, and closed the door.
Ling Jiheng glanced at the dim environment in the room, stood up and lit the oil lamp.
He came to the bedside and gently woke Chi Xingyue up.
Seeing that she was dazed, he didn't let her get out of bed. Instead, he helped her sit against the wall and fed her some bird's nest porridge.
Chi Xingyue opened his mouth unconsciously, and only came back to his senses after swallowing the last mouthful of soup.
I feel like I am useless, but the feeling of being cared for makes me greedy.
So, she said nothing.
Ling Jiheng asked her if she wanted to drink pork rib soup. After getting a positive answer, he went to the table and served her a small bowl.
They also considerately removed the bones, leaving only pieces of lean meat and soft, sweet lotus roots.
This time, Chi Xingyue didn't let him feed her. She took the bowl and spoon herself and started eating with big mouthfuls.
I still felt unsatisfied after eating, so I ordered two more pot stickers.
I don’t know why her appetite is so big. Ever since she got pregnant, it’s been like a bottomless pit. She’s often hungry and often has to eat more.
Ling Jiheng lovingly wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth and asked, "Is that enough? If not, I'll ask Aunt Taohua to make some for you."
Chi Xingyue nodded, but still took out a fruit plate.
She is used to eating some fruit after meals to refresh herself and relieve the greasiness.
But today we had too much food, so there wasn't much room for creativity.
Chi Xingyue ate a bunch of cherries and peeled two loquats and felt full.
The rest were all given to Ling Jiheng.
Ling Jiheng ate the sweet mango and felt that he was the happiest man in the world.
A warm bed with a wife and children, and no worries about having enough food and drink.
He dared to say that even the Emperor of Zhou could not eat fresh fruit in this snowy winter.
Only Chi Xingyue, the little fairy, can create these delicious foods.
After filling their stomachs, the two men didn't go out to deliver the bowls, but directly slipped into the space.
The environment in the space is very suitable for fetal development. When Ling Jiheng was not back, Chi Xingyue slept in there at night.
The whole body will be nourished by spiritual energy.
She doesn't plan to go out tonight.
The only problem is that the bed in the dormitory is too small, so Ling Jiheng has to sleep on the floor.
However, Chi Xingyue was not so heartless. She asked Ling Jiheng to go to the supermarket and find a folding bed.
Just spread it out on the ground and take a rest.
Ling Jiheng didn't mind and planned to settle down here before Chi Xingyue gave birth.
But it was still early, so the two of them strolled around in the space to digest their food. When they felt less bloated, they went back to the bathroom to wash up.
Then I fell asleep peacefully.
Only then did Ling Jiheng realize the downside of his wife's pregnancy, which was that he would no longer have a happy life.
No wonder the ancients had three wives and four concubines. Without moral and legal constraints, they could not help but indulge themselves.
He already has a mediocre character, and now he has such a legitimate reason, shouldn't he seize the time to live a life of luxury and debauchery?
Of course, he is different.
It's not about showing off how upright he is, but about being able to suppress the desires in his heart.
He has a wife who gave birth to his children. How cruel would he be to have an affair with her outside?
Besides, it's been two and a half months. If you just hold on a little longer, there will be good days again.
But Ling Jiheng forgot that he would return to the academy in two days.
Another month has passed since I last saw my young wife. When she returned for the New Year, I didn't dare indulge in her gentle embrace, fearing that my willpower would be worn down.
Of course, this is all later.
When Ling Jiheng was at home, Chi Xingyue felt like a porcelain doll. Every day she was either hugged or held in her arms. Even getting out of bed and walking required help from others.
Chi Xingyue was bored and wanted to go out and play in the snow, but Ling Jiheng refused, fearing she would catch a cold or fall.
Even if she got angry with him, he would not give in.
She used all the tricks of acting cute and making trouble, and even called the sisters Xue'er and Shuang'er back to play music and sing for her, just to make her feel happy.
There is no way Chi Xingyue can be in a good mood. What kind of good person would stay in the room and not go out all day?
Humph, when Ling Jiheng returns to the academy, I will make ten or eight snowmen for him outside.
Ling Jiheng had no idea about Chi Xingyue's grand ambitions. He just thought she was so well behaved. If he didn't let her go out to play in the snow, she wouldn't go. He felt so soft-hearted.
I didn't even want to go to the study, so I just read at the table where I usually eat.
This made Chi Xingyue feel guilty even when listening to the music, so she asked Shuang'er and Xue'er to go back to Fanghuayuan because she wanted to sleep.
In fact, I just lie on the bed, sink my soul into the space, watch movies, and take a stroll.
In short, Ling Jiheng's methods could not trap her, and she was still that free little fairy.
Just like that, three days later, news came from Changhe Academy that the cold had been brought under control.
Although those students were not completely recovered, they were still able to come to class.
No one had a high fever or cough. Just a stuffy nose and a bit of a blurry mind.
When Ling Jiheng found out, he was quite surprised. He thought that this city was indeed full of hidden talents.
Eliminate an impending influenza outbreak before it becomes apparent.
Now that the situation was under control, Ling Jiheng packed up his things and headed back to the academy.
Before leaving, he was reluctant to leave and held Chi Xingyue tightly, refusing to let go.
He was afraid that she couldn't take care of herself, and that if he left for too long, the baby would not be close to him in the future.
All in all, the feelings are quite complicated.
But for his own future, for Chi Xingyue's confidence, and for the future of his twins, he had to go back to school.
This is how feudal society is. If you want to get ahead, there is only one way.
Although being an official did not necessarily mean freedom, it was still better than being a commoner who had to kneel before an official and was exploited by landlords and gentry.
Ling Jiheng hugged Chi Xingyue tightly and whispered a few words in her ear.
Then he turned around and left without looking back, fearing that if he looked at her even once more, she would quit.
