Chapter 282 Prenatal Education
Before long, they arrived at their new base. The scene before them was just as the wandering beasts had described: a pleasant landscape with picturesque mountains and rivers. The air was filled with the fresh aroma of plants, making people feel relaxed and at ease.
Looking around, dozens of warm wooden houses are scattered across the land.
As soon as the stray animals arrived, they took quick action and reserved the largest and most comfortable wooden house. Needless to say, this was prepared for their boss Lang Ce, and Xia Yueke naturally moved in with them.
Although Lang Ce restrained himself in some aspects, his possessiveness of Xia Yueke became stronger and stronger. He hugged her tightly every night before going to bed, as if only in this way could he confirm her existence, and he was unwilling to separate for a moment.
When Xia Yueke stepped into her new home, the wooden windows were spotlessly clean, the wooden tables were neatly arranged, and the wooden cabinets exuded a faint wood fragrance.
Her eyes slowly swept across the room, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. She paced back and forth in the room, looking left and right, touching things, and the satisfaction on her face became more and more obvious.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared at the door. It was none other than the three females from before—Ivy, Ziyin, and another companion.
Under Xia Yueke's gaze, Ai Wei and Zi Yin's faces flushed instantly. They looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before Ai Wei stammered:
"Well... well, Xia Yueke, it was the boss who asked us to come. Ever since... you said you didn't want to see us again last time, we haven't dared to bother you. This time, the boss asked us to make you a few more clothes. The animal skins you have now don't fit you anymore."
Ziyin quickly echoed:
"Yes, yes, and you're about to give birth, so you can't do any heavy lifting. Leave these things to us."
They spoke quickly and hurriedly, obviously because of Lang Ce's order, and they dared not slack off in the slightest.
Xia Yueke looked at their nervous expressions. Although she still had some grudges in her heart, she no longer felt embarrassed. She turned around with a cold face and said:
"Then let's measure it." The three of them hurried forward and carefully measured Xia Yuke's waist, their movements so gentle that they were afraid of hurting her.
Only after they determined the approximate size of the hide did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Ivy quickly said, "Thank you. We'll make it soon. You can make do with those old animal skins for the next few days."
After she finished speaking, she immediately left in a hurry with the other two. Her fleeing backs seemed as if she was afraid that Xia Yueke would change her mind the next second and get angry at them again.
Xia Yue looked in the direction they left, sighed softly, and murmured to herself: "I hope they won't let me down again..."
However, the three females left Xia Yueke's sight, and Ivy said with relief:
"Luckily, I was smart and said that the boss asked us to come. Otherwise, given Xia's personality, she definitely wouldn't let us make her a few animal skins!"
Ziyin also looked at her with appreciation, "That's right, you scared me just now. Fortunately, you brought up the boss as an excuse!"
This time, the three of them left with a guilty conscience and began to prepare the raw materials to make several sets of very comfortable animal skins for Xia Yuke.
Only after the three females hurried away did Xia Yueke turn his attention back to what he had been doing.
Since she decided to give birth to her baby here, she started the prenatal education plan.
On weekdays, she would often go for a walk outside, with the warm sunshine shining on her body and her steps light and slow. This would not only promote blood circulation and strengthen her physical fitness, but also benefit the growth and development of the baby in her belly.
When no one is around, she will hum softly, using her gentle singing to accompany the little life in her belly.
In fact, Xia Yueke has always hoped to provide her baby with a better prenatal education environment. If conditions permit, she really wants to let her baby listen to elegant music, but she really finds it difficult to master those complex tunes.
All that kept coming to mind were some rock and pop songs, so she sang them to her child as lullabies, and occasionally told him a story.
It was time for her daily song for her son. Xia Yueke hummed the prelude to a pop song, her foot tapping to the beat. The warm sunlight shone down on her body. She closed her eyes comfortably, lost in her own world, and relaxed completely.
She was singing with great enthusiasm and had no idea that Lang Ce was quietly approaching from a distance.
During the day, Lang Ce was always busy and disappeared, only appearing at night. Sometimes he would only return to his residence when Xia Yueke had fallen asleep.
Xia Yueke's tone was gentle and her singing was melodious. Lang Ce stood there quietly, looking at this heartwarming scene for a long time without going forward to disturb her.
His wolf ears twitched from time to time, as if trying to catch something. Lang Ce frowned slightly, not really understanding what Xia Yueke was doing. He only saw her hand constantly stroking her belly, as if she was interacting closely with the little life inside.
After Xia Yuke finished singing the whole song, Lang Ce strode forward, his voice filled with a hint of teasing and curiosity:
"Little fox, what are you doing? Why are you singing all of a sudden?"
Xia Yuke suddenly opened her eyes and was startled by the sudden voice. When she saw it was Lang Ce, she was even more surprised. She didn't expect that he would come back early today.
She shook her head in panic and explained, "I didn't do anything. This is prenatal education. I sing songs to the cub to make him more familiar with the mother's voice. Then, when I coax him in the future, I can calm him down quickly."
This was the first time Lang Ce had heard of such a thing, and he couldn't help but become interested. He moved closer to Xia Yueke, their breaths intertwined, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air:
"Are there any other methods of prenatal education?"
Xia Yueke nodded subconsciously, turned her head away and said:
"There are several other ways, and telling stories is one of them. But I've already told the cub so many that I can't think of any new ones. I just hope the cub grows up well and stays healthy."
"I see."
As Lang Ce spoke, his big hand slowly touched Xia Yueke's round belly. This was the first time he felt the presence of a little life so intuitively, and a different emotion surged in his heart.
"Let me try it? This prenatal education you mentioned."
Xia Yueke widened her eyes, full of distrust, shrank back, and said angrily:
"You? Forget it, I'm afraid the kid will learn bad things from you!"
Lang Ce has been behaving quite well these days and hasn't done anything overly bad. Xia Yueke has gradually grown bolder, which has made her less cautious in her words.
Lang Ce gently tapped Xia Yueke's head with his index finger, his gesture intimate yet slightly threatening:
"Little fox, are you worried about me? It seems that you are getting braver and braver. Are you not afraid of me anymore?"
Xia Yueke smiled and evaded the question: "Okay, okay, go ahead and try. Have you ever told a story?"
Lang Ce sat down on the chair next to Xia Yueke, leaning forward slightly, almost touching Xia Yueke. He gently patted Xia Yueke's belly, his voice deliberately low and gentle:
"Cub~ I am the father beast~"
Xia Yueke's expression froze instantly, her face filled with shock and anger. She never expected that Lang Ce actually wanted to replace Yaoyao's position in the cub's heart.
"Langce, you..."
