"Big Brother~"
"Big Brother~"
......
Mu Lige and Situ Ye had just finished their conversation when a burst of urgent shouting came from the door. The voices came one after another, and it was obvious that there was more than one person coming.
Immediately afterwards, the door was gently pushed open, and Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian, Si Chengfeng and Wu Chen walked in one after another.
The four of them still privately addressed Mu Lige as "Big Brother," just as they had done in Huaqiao Village. Mu Lige didn't mind it, instead thinking it was a reflection of the deep bond between the brothers.
As for Zuo An, he didn't like the hustle and bustle, so at this moment he was back to his old job in Xiaoyaoju - tinkering with his inventions such as hidden weapons.
Currently, Mu Lige is still in the confinement period. It is early spring and the weather is slightly cool, so it is not suitable to go out in the wind.
Therefore, in their spare time, the concubines of pregnant Hua Qingcheng all liked to go straight to Mu Lige's bedroom to gather and chat. Fortunately, this room was spacious, bright, and well-ventilated, so it didn't make people feel cramped or stuffy at all.
"Third brother, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something troublesome?" Mu Lige noticed at a glance that Han Yichen had a tense face and seemed to be in a bad mood, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Ah..." Han Yichen sat down on the edge of Mu Lige's bed without saying a word. He looked up at Mu Lige's handsome face, sighed heavily, and then sighed again, wanting to say something but stopping himself, "Ah..."
Before Han Yichen could speak, Yu Xiaotian couldn't wait to say, "Brother, Third Brother is like this because his appetite has increased a lot recently and he's afraid of getting fat."
Mu Lige's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure and soothed him with a caring and patient tone, "Third brother, you must understand that the fetus in your belly is in a period of rapid growth right now and requires a large amount of nutrients to support its development. If you don't eat well and don't get enough nutrition, the fetus will turn to its father for nutrients, and in the end, you'll be the one who suffers!"
Han Yichen quickly glanced at Mu Lige's flawless, handsome face, then swept his eyes over his perfect body, and then pouted slightly in disapproval.
As a doctor, Han Yichen was well aware of what Mu Lige had said. However, understanding the principles behind it was one thing, but facing it himself was another matter entirely.
During this period of time, Han Yichen clearly noticed that his waist seemed to have become thicker. This sudden change made him feel anxious.
Situ Ye, who noticed Han Yichen's low mood, patted Han Yichen's shoulder gently and said earnestly, "In my opinion, Third Brother, you are just letting your thoughts wander because you have too much free time. Otherwise... when I get back, I will lend you some military books that I have treasured for many years. Study more of the wisdom of our predecessors, so that you won't think about those messy things all day long."
Si Chengfeng, who was sitting next to him, saw the funny expression on Han Yichen's face as he tried to suppress the urge to roll his eyes after hearing Situ Ye's words. He couldn't help but cover his face with his folding fan and laughed softly.
Although Second Brother Situ is a kind-hearted, enthusiastic and generous person, and he has always been open and honest in his dealings with others, he unfortunately does not really understand Han Yichen's preferences. Therefore, even if he wants to help, in the end he will probably only get half the result with twice the effort, or even be in vain.
Si Chengfeng's lips curled up slightly, and he suggested with a smile: "Second brother, perhaps... you can go buy a few of the most popular storybooks and give them to third brother. He might be more interested in them."
Han Yichen was a man who acted solely on his own whims, but he was also a sentimental person. Rather than letting him doze off over a boring military book, it would be better to let him read a storybook and pass the time with stories about talented women and beautiful men...
As expected, just as Si Chengfeng had said, Han Yichen's narrow, long phoenix eyes flickered slightly. Although Si Huli's words hit the mark, Han San Ge had other plans deep in his heart.
He mused to himself, "Instead of reading those melodramatic plots made up by those bored people, I might as well write my own legendary story myself. Perhaps I could even make a killing along the way! After all, making money is always motivating! And compared to the boring business of selling medicine, writing storybooks is obviously much more interesting, isn't it?"
Once he had something to do, Han Yichen seemed to be revitalized. His face, originally dejected, suddenly perked up, a charming, intoxicating smile playing across his lips. Even Si Chengfeng, looking at him, seemed much more pleasing to the eye than usual.
Although it was not clear what brilliant ideas Han Yichen had come up with in such a short moment, Mu Lige couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that he had regained his confidence.
However, when Mu Lige cast his gaze on the silent Wu Chen, he couldn't help but rub his brows again with a headache and asked, "Ah Chen, what about you? What are you worried about and unhappy about?"
Wu Chen, who had been dejected and silent since entering the house, looked up at Mu Lige with a resentful look. His expression of wanting to cry made Mu Lige's heart ache slightly.
His younger brother had always been stubborn and competitive, with a lively and carefree personality, and naturally his moods were prone to drastic fluctuations. But even so, this was the first time he had seen him so depressed.
Wu Chen, feeling Mu Lige's care, rushed forward like a young swallow flying into the forest, sat beside him, took Mu Lige's hand, and used his sleeve to wipe the empty tears on his face.
"Brother, when can I finally drink and eat meat to my heart's content, ride a horse and whip it, and live freely and unrestrainedly? Ever since I became pregnant, I can't eat this or do that. I'm almost suffocating..."
Mu Lige's handsome face froze when he heard this. As someone who had been through this, he naturally understood Wuchen's distress.
Looking back, when he was in Huaqiao Village, Mu Lige often felt resentful when he saw his young wife single-handedly supporting the family and working hard every day, while he himself was physically and mentally unable to do so because of his pregnancy.
Thinking of this, Mu Lige softly comforted him, "Achen, maybe you can imagine how cute the baby in your belly will be when it is born. That way, you will feel that all the hard work now is worth it..."
"Brother Li~" Before Mu Lige finished speaking, Hua Qingcheng walked in from the door.
Hua Qingcheng listened to Mu Lige's words and felt warm in her heart, so she quickly stepped forward and hugged Mu Lige tightly.
The tender love and infinite gratitude are all contained in this silent embrace.
