Chapter 200: I am numb... (1,000 words added)
Xiuzhu seldom went out after she became pregnant. She sat in the Lou family for a long time today and was very exhausted. Not long after getting in the car, she fell asleep on the shoulder of the man next to her.
Gu Yu felt so distressed when he saw this that he took off his coat and gently covered her with it, and his eyes never left Xiuzhu's face.
It seemed as if he could never get enough of looking at her, and he just kept looking at her intently.
Only after the driver told me the destination did I bear to look away.
Then he picked up his beloved woman and strode towards their home in Shanghai.
…
After laying Xiuzhu flat on the bed, he gently kissed her forehead and went out to wash up.
After a while, the door opened and Gu Yu brought in a basin of warm water. He took off the annoying clothes of the person on the bed, and then gently helped his wife wipe her body.
As he was rubbing, he felt something was wrong with his body, somewhere... His eyes darkened and he thought, five months should be enough.
I haven't touched his baby bump for 3 and a half months. I used to do it almost every day...
The more he thought about it, the more...uncomfortable he felt. But his daughter-in-law had fallen asleep and he couldn't wake her up, nor could he bear to do so. He could only wait until tomorrow.
Finally, Gu Yu ended the day by taking another bath.
*
There was no morning sickness, and Xiuzhu just ate, drank and slept in every day, so the time she spent lying at home passed especially quickly.
Before we know it, another day is coming to an end.
At this moment, Xiuzhu had finished washing up and was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, applying cold cream on her body. She took care of every part, but the most delicate part was her belly.
Although her belly is not obvious now and there are no stretch marks, Xiuzhu, who loves beauty, dares not make any mistakes. Since she knew she was pregnant, she has been applying lotion on her belly every day.
Gu Yu lay on his side on the bed, and seeing his wife applying cosmetics from the bottles and jars for a long time, he felt itchy and anxious, as he was still thinking about what didn't happen last night.
I was even thinking about it while going to work today. As the saying goes, "Food and sex are part of human nature," it is human nature. (Note)
"What are you doing?" Xiuzhu returned to bed, a little confused. She just felt that this man was acting a little strange since dinner.
Gu Yu pounced on her lightly, looked at her with extremely ambiguous eyes, and then whispered a few words into his wife's ear in his arms.
Xiuzhu: ...
It had been a long time since she had done that, and she had almost forgotten about it. But when this man mentioned it, she started to think about it...
Soon Xiuzhu was breathless from the kiss, but she was still a little worried and asked, "Baby, will the baby be okay?"
"My dear, it's okay. It's really okay. Come on, let's continue." Gu Yu was like a young boy at this time and could hardly control himself.
…… ...
It was a time of intimate affection and love.
Xiuzhu suddenly frowned, covered her stomach and cried out, "Oh, stomach, stomach."
Gu Yu was almost frightened by her...
He didn't even bother to put on his clothes and was busy picking up Xiuzhu and taking her to the hospital.
"Oh, what are you doing? No, I'm fine." Seeing him so flustered that he even forgot to put on his clothes, Xiuzhu felt a little embarrassed and had to explain, "It seems that the baby moved just now, it doesn't hurt, I just got scared suddenly."
Gu Yu: ...
The baby's first movement should have been an exciting thing for him, but at this moment, he just felt that the child was in the way.
After calming down, he placed his hand gently on his wife's belly, but the little thing inside stopped moving again.
Well, if there was no movement, he wanted to continue what he had just done, but just as he started, the little bad guy moved again...
He just didn't believe it and continued.
Just like that, after five times of going back and forth, Gu Yuren was numb and had lost all interest...
He closed his eyes and held Xiuzhu in his arms as he slept, still thinking that if this was just a sweet and lovely girl, it would be fine and he wouldn't care about this incident.
But if he turns out to be a bad boy, don't blame his father for holding a grudge against him. When he comes out, he will definitely be taught a lesson.
This was the first time in Gu Yu’s life that he had suffered such humiliation.
…
*
By the time Xiuzhu was seven months pregnant, her belly had already looked very round.
At the same time, the severe late pregnancy reactions caused her mood swings to be huge, she was moody, and she often cried and was irritable.
For example, now, when she saw a stretch mark appear on her carefully cared-for belly, she immediately collapsed on the bed and burst into tears.
“Wuwuwu…”
Gu Yu felt so distressed that he hurried over to comfort her, "My dear, don't cry. The mark is very shallow and you won't see it unless you look carefully. Besides, I am the only one who can see this spot. Who would observe your belly so carefully?"
Gu Yu was telling the truth. The mark was indeed very shallow and not very obvious. If Xiuzhu hadn't stared at her belly every day, it would have been difficult to find it...
But Xiuzhu was in a state of collapse at the moment and couldn't hear anything. She only knew that there were blemishes on her flawless skin.
"Wow, wow, wow, I don't want to listen to you. It's easy to talk without any pain in your waist. But you are not pregnant."
"It's not fair. Why should I be pregnant and not you? Wuwuwu."
Xiuzhu was angry and sad, so of course she wanted to vent her anger and find someone to vent it on.
But she couldn't blame the unborn baby in her belly. Even if she wanted to blame him, there was no way to punish him at the moment. She could only let the child's father bear all the blame.
"It's all my fault, baby, don't cry. Otherwise I'll cut a knife in my belly too to accompany you. Just like you said before, we have couple tattoos, so why don't we have the same scar?" Gu Yu proposed seriously, holding his emotionally excited wife in his arms.
He felt very guilty about his wife's blame, but the book said that stretch marks during pregnancy are caused by the rupture of the elastic fibers in the skin, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.
He had no way to change this situation, so he could only come up with this solution.
Xiuzhu was immersed in her own world, crying bitterly: ...
God damn couple scars.
She didn't have any serious illness, so why would she cut a knife on her husband's abdominal muscles? Besides, it would definitely affect the feel of the hand.
She won't do anything that hurts others and benefits herself.
…
Then there was another commotion.
Finally, Gu Yu coaxed her again, saying that for every stretch mark she had, he would buy her a piece of jewelry and spend an additional 1,000 yuan.
And they don’t even have to use the existing property in their home.
After crying for an hour, Xiuzhu's mood finally improved and she burst into laughter.
