702: The child kicked me
"Are you sure there isn't?" The fall just now was earth-shaking and thrilling, how could there not be anything unusual?
However, the nurse Xiao Wu insisted that there was nothing abnormal and said that a fall would not necessarily lead to miscarriage.
Yu Zhengxian went to see Chen Ci again and saw that Chen Ci's expression had not changed much, so he let the nurse go with peace of mind.
Yu Zhengxian drove away all the other men who came to watch the fun. When there were only two of them left in the room, Yu Zhengxian sat down on the edge of the kang with weak legs, looking at Chen Ci lying on the kang. The heart that had been in his throat finally fell back into his stomach slowly, but his heart was still beating violently and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Scared to death!
My son almost died!
Fortunately, there was no harm.
He looked at the hem of Chen Ci's cotton-padded jacket that was raised up, and suddenly an idea came to him. He bravely reached his hand into the jacket to touch the bulging belly.
Chen Ci noticed someone touching her and looked at Yu Zhengxian with horror - this was a rare time when she looked at Yu Zhengxian directly.
"What are you doing, you hooligan!"
Yu Zhengxian had already touched the bulging belly, which was hard and round, like a small protruding mound of earth. The feeling was magical.
Chen Ci reached out and pushed him, but he grabbed Chen Ci's hand with his backhand:
"Don't move, let me touch it."
Yu Zhengxian touched the round belly and a fatherly smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, his belly suddenly moved, which scared him again, but he immediately realized that the baby had moved -
The child moved!
Yu Zhengxian shouted excitedly as if he had discovered a miracle:
"The kid kicked me, the kid kicked me! Did you just try? The kid kicked me!"
How could Chen Ci not know that it was the baby kicking her? The baby started to move last month, and it became more frequent this month, especially when she wanted to rest at night. As long as she lay down, the baby would punch and kick happily.
The baby's fetal movement is Chen Ci's only comfort in this forest farm.
A feeling of ecstasy filled the entire dormitory. Yu Zhengxian jumped up from the kang and spun around the room excitedly:
"My son is moving! My son is moving!"
Then he ran back and reached into his cotton-padded jacket to catch the child's movements.
The fetus seemed to know that his father was interacting with him, and kicked again in response. This time, Yu Zhengxian felt a real kick on his palm. He looked up at Chen Ci and said reproachfully:
"Why didn't you tell me when the baby would move?"
Chen Ci ignored him, but no longer rejected his touch, allowing his big hands to explore her belly. The feeling of a family of three snuggling together made Chen Ci's heart tremble slightly.
The fetus kept moving for two or three minutes, and then it was probably tired and wanted to rest, and the movement on the belly gradually stopped.
Feeling the fetal movement for the first time, Yu Zhengxian truly felt the responsibility of being a father. He took his hand out of his cotton jacket, looked at Chen Ci, and said with a hint of tenderness:
"Don't ever do that again. You're being hard on yourself and your child."
Chen Ci lay down, turned his head to the side, and said coldly:
"Don't be so hypocritical here."
"How can I be fake? How can you tell that I'm fake? Have you not seen how I've been treating you with all my heart for so long? Could it be that my kindness to my son is fake? Are you forcing me to show you my heart before you can believe it?"
"Believe in what?"
"Believe that I am good to you. Believe that I really care about you and the child."
Chen Ci turned her head back, looked up at Yu Zhengxian, and finally spoke to him:
"Then tell me where you went this afternoon."
"——" Yu Zhengxian suddenly deflated, "Didn't I take the second brother into the mountains to hunt this afternoon?"
"Where did you go after you came back from hunting?"
“——” Yu Zhengxian finally knew what Chen Ci was suspecting.
"Speak up, why aren't you talking? Where did you go for so long after coming back from hunting this afternoon? Why didn't you come back until dark?"
"——" You can't tell the truth! "I, I'm busy in the mountains, aren't I?"
"What are you busy with?"
"That's it—cut down trees. I want to find some suitable wood to build our house."
Two drops of clear tears rolled down from the corners of Chen Ci's eyes without any warning.
Seeing her cry, Yu Zhengxian became a little flustered and gritted his teeth and said:
"I really went into the mountains to cut trees, don't make random guesses—"
As he said this, the dormitory door suddenly opened and Mrs. Xue came in.
As soon as Mrs. Xue entered the room, she saw the couple talking together, and saw the tears in the corners of Chen Ci's eyes. She sensitively smelled the ambiguous atmosphere between the couple, and suddenly a surge of jealousy erupted in her heart:
"Hey, I came in at a bad time. Did it disturb your intimacy? Do you want me to go out and keep an eye on you?"
Seeing that Mrs. Xue was fanning the flames again, Yu Zhengxian immediately forgot all about the crazy afternoon in the grove and glared at her, saying:
"Mrs. Xue, don't be so sarcastic. My wife just fell outside and almost lost the baby!"
Seeing Yu Zhengxian gritting his teeth like that, showing no mercy at all, Mrs. Xue felt a pang of pain in her heart. However, thinking of all the good things that had happened between them in the afternoon, she decided not to turn hostile. She could only hold back her anger for the time being, rolled her eyes and said:
"Really? He fell down. Is he okay?"
"fine--"
Seeing that Mrs. Xue was willing to stop while she was ahead, Yu Zhengxian's attitude improved a little, but he still kept winking at Mrs. Xue when Chen Ci wasn't paying attention, asking her to calm down and stop making trouble at this time.
Mrs. Xue was not an ignorant person. She knew what Yu Zhengxian meant. She sneered in her heart and went about her own business.
Chen Ci's expression had softened, but after Mrs. Xue came in, it darkened again. She turned over and said coldly:
"You go."
Yu Zhengxian couldn't stand it any longer, with Xue Sao on one side and Chen Ci on the other.
In the past, he didn't feel anything when the two women were together, but ever since he rolled around in the woods with Mrs. Xue in the afternoon, he now felt uncomfortable when the two women were together.
At this point, he really regretted not being able to control himself and doing something stupid in the afternoon.
I really want to slap myself!
Now I am caught between these two women, one is narrow-minded and the other is jealous. I will suffer in the future!
Yu Zhengxian stood up with a headache, leaned over Chen Ci again, and said intimately:
"I'll go get you some hot water and bring it over to you in a bit. Wash yourself well."
Chen Ci ignored it.
Yu Zhengxian turned and left, and before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Xue.
Mrs. Xue was waiting for his gaze intently. When she saw him looking at her with a hint of pride and teasing in his eyes, Yu Zhengxian didn't dare to look at him anymore and walked away with the heavy porcelain thermos.
He came to the cafeteria, boiled a pot of hot water and brought it over, and personally filled two buckets of spring water from the water tank in their dormitory.
The hot and cold water were ready, and he personally took Chen Ci's washbasin and filled it with hot water for Chen Ci, which made a group of middle-aged women in the same dormitory envious. They joked with him and urged him to quickly apply for a dormitory from the bearded captain so that the couple could move in together as soon as possible, otherwise, Yu Zhengxian would have to live in the women's dormitory permanently.
Several women laughed and joked with Yu Zhengxian, and Yu Zhengxian generously let them make fun of him.
Only Mrs. Xue was a little indignant when she saw Yu Zhengxian was so humble and attentive to Chen Ci, but Chen Ci did not appreciate it at all. She could not help but say:
"Hey, brother, please help me pour some water to wash my face. I'm tired all day."
Yu Zhengxian glared at Mrs. Xue fiercely:
Just stay away!
You are everywhere, and you are just trying to make the world chaotic!
