The next morning, Su Lu made breakfast before waking Qin Xiaoxiao. Because Qin Xiaoxiao was pregnant, Su Lu didn't dare to make anything too greasy, for fear that she wouldn't be able to handle it and would vomit. In the end, she complained that there was no meat in the porridge.
Having no other choice, Su Lu asked Qin Xiaoxiao to take out a piece of braised beef from her spatial storage, cut it into a few slices, and let her eat it herself.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't stand on ceremony and ate five slices of braised beef by herself before she felt a little better.
Strangely enough, she didn't experience the difficulties of pregnancy that other pregnant women had; she didn't even feel morning sickness once, except...
Qin Xiaoxiao stared blankly at her stomach.
Is this child a bit too big?
But she didn't know how many months pregnant she was, nor could she tell whether it was a large or small gestational age.
Su Lu finished cleaning up the dishes and was about to tell Qin Xiaoxiao that he was going to work when he saw Qin Xiaoxiao staring blankly at her stomach without saying a word.
This startled Su Lu, who quickly put his arm around Qin Xiaoxiao's waist and carefully helped her sit on the kang (a heated brick bed). "Wife, what's wrong? Is your stomach upset?"
Su Lu touched Qin Xiaoxiao's belly.
He was gone for almost a month, and his wife's belly seemed to have grown quite a bit.
Qin Xiaoxiao stared blankly at Su Lu, "Honey, we should go to the hospital again to find out exactly how many months pregnant I am. I feel like my belly is growing really fast!"
Su Lu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I didn't have time to ask last time, but I have to ask clearly this time. I'll also check again to see if the child is alright."
Su Lu quickly packed Qin Xiaoxiao's things. First of all, he had to bring the water bottle, just in case his wife got thirsty.
Bring a lunchbox with your food, but it can't be rice; it has to be pastries. You can't just eat on the street when you get hungry!
Another thing is that the back seat of the bicycle needs to be padded more, so that the wife and children don't get jostled around.
Another thing is to bring an umbrella. The heavy rain hasn't completely stopped, it's just lessened a bit. We can't let our wife get wet, or she might catch a cold.
After a flurry of activity, Su Lu helped Qin Xiaoxiao walk outside. Just as they reached the door, Qin Xiaoxiao stood still, staring at the rain outside.
Su Lu looked at her, puzzled. "Let's go?"
Qin Xiaoxiao's face darkened, and she glared at Su Lu, "It's still raining, why are you leaving? Aren't you afraid I'll catch a cold?"
It's been raining for three or four days, and the road is all dirt, so it must be muddy and slippery. What if I fall?
"Alright, you can go now. I'll go again when the rain stops tomorrow or the day after."
After saying that, Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and went back into the house, took off her shoes and sat on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Su Lu was scolded but didn't dare to talk back. He was stunned for a moment before turning around and sitting down next to Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Honey, I'm going to work now. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask Uncle Er to make something for you and bring it back."
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with anger. "What did you say? You want my second uncle to cook it and bring it back to me? You just open your mouth and you've got my second uncle busy in the kitchen for most of the day. How are you so good at ordering people around?"
Besides, how would I know what I want to eat tonight? Are you doing this on purpose? Are you deliberately trying to make my day miserable, making me think about what to eat all day long?
Or is it that you find me annoying and don't want to take care of me anymore?
I knew it! You men are all the same. I'm only pregnant and you're already having an affair. Tell me, were you seeing someone else while you were gone for a month?
Since you're not saying anything, does that mean you're pregnant?
Waaaaah... I can't live like this anymore. We've only been married a few months and you're already out there..."
Su Lu was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand how things had developed to this point.
Wait a minute, let him sort things out.
She was the one who said she was going to the hospital, so he packed his things to go with her.
Then she refused to go, saying she was afraid of falling.
Then, seeing that she wanted to eat meat, he was worried that his cooking wouldn't suit her taste, so he asked his second uncle to cook two dishes for her to bring back.
But wasn't she complaining that he made his second uncle cook? Why is she now talking about him having an affair?
Are pregnant women's tempers always so unpredictable?
This isn't just throwing a tantrum; it's just being unreasonable.
But Su Lu dared not speak, fearing that if he did, Qin Xiaoxiao would make an even bigger scene. If she hit him, that would be one thing, but if she hurt herself, that would be terrible.
Therefore, before Qin Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, Su Lu quickly covered her mouth, afraid that if she continued, she would mention divorce.
"Wife, I know you're having a hard time during your pregnancy, but we can't say things that hurt our feelings. I swear to God, I, Su Lu, am completely devoted to you. I have absolutely no other women outside of this world. I don't even talk to women, let alone get close to them."
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes welling up with tears, her red eyes looking at him pitifully like a little rabbit, Su Lu's heart softened completely. He quickly let go of her hand, then gently pulled her into his arms, patting her back lightly to calm her down.
Qin Xiaoxiao seemed to have suffered a great injustice, sobbing uncontrollably in Su Lu's arms. Seeing that she was about to faint from crying, Su Lu quickly kissed her eyes.
After a long while, Qin Xiaoxiao finally stopped crying. Su Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, let go of her hand, and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Honey, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Qin Xiaoxiao sobbed and didn't speak, blinking her big eyes as she looked at Su Lu, about to cry again.
Having no other choice, Su Lu could only pull the person into his arms again to comfort him.
It took a full half hour for Qin Xiaoxiao to stop crying.
Qin Xiaoxiao knew she had been a bit willful and unreasonable today, but she didn't know why, she just wanted to cry and couldn't stand Su Lu.
Su Lu could attribute the cause to her pregnancy, but she knew that wasn't the reason.
Last night she realized she had fallen in love with Su Lu. Before going to sleep, she was overjoyed, feeling that having family who loved her and a lover who doted on her was all she needed in this life.
But when I woke up in the morning, I felt fear for no reason. It was a fear of losing the life I have now, a fear of losing myself, and a fear of being lost about the future.
This kind of emotion can't be easily regulated; she needs time to calm down and figure things out on her own.
Qin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, "Go to work, you're already late, I wonder if you'll get docked pay?"
Su Lu laughed and flicked Qin Xiaoxiao's nose. "You still have the mind to think about whether or not your pay will be deducted? Don't worry, you won't be deducted. Even if you are, it's fine. We don't care about that little bit of money. Right now, you are the most important thing. Nothing is more important than your emotional stability."
Honey, you're pregnant. Even if it's not for the baby and me, you need to try your best to keep your emotions stable. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me as soon as possible. Don't keep it bottled up inside; if you ruin your health, you'll be the one suffering.
After listening, Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and earnestly assured Su Lu, "Don't worry, I know what to do. Honey, I need some time to think things through. I'm afraid you'll have to work hard these next few days."
She had to give Su Lu a heads-up, otherwise by the time she figured things out, Su Lu would have already hurt her deeply, and once someone is heartbroken, it's hard to win them back.
