Pei Xiqing smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm with you."
Ma Mengxiang had never experienced such a thing.
It was as if the weather outside had completely changed. Before, even though it was pitch black in the base, there were many people inside, and everyone was bustling and noisy. As we chatted, I felt less scared. Now, there are only a few people scattered around the base, and every time I look up, I see a quiet alley. After staying there for a long time, I can't help but feel a little suspicious.
She moved closer to Pei Xiqing and said, "As long as you are here, I will stay with you."
"Where's Brother Duan?"
"In the kitchen." Ma Mengxiang said: "He is going to make soup for you, black chicken soup, which is very nourishing. Then I will stay here with you."
Pei Xiqing smiled.
About half an hour passed.
She got up and took a shower, then lazily leaned on the sofa waiting for dinner.
The conditions outside are poor, but Pei Xiqing's place basically has everything in fine quality, even the nightgown she is wearing is very silky and soft. She rubbed her hair and felt that her hair had grown a lot longer. It was thin before, but it was a bit troublesome to take care of it after pregnancy.
Her belly is just a little bit big now. In another month or two, she might even have difficulty walking, let alone taking a bath by herself.
Recently, Duan Xiaolin always held her in his arms when she took a bath, but she could do it by herself. It was just that he was worried and did everything himself.
After waiting for a few minutes, the base shook twice again. She was still reading with Ma Mengxiang when Duan Xiaolin came out of the kitchen holding a pot.
The fragrance filled the air instantly.
Pei Xiqing's mouth was watering as if he was eating.
She quickly said, "Tianxiang, Brother Duan, your cooking skills have improved again."
Ma Mengxiang also quickly grabbed the bowl and chopsticks, and waved for Yingzi outside to come in and eat, "Super delicious chicken soup!"
Duan Xiaolin poured Pei Xiqing half a bowl and said, "Try it."
Pei Xiqing blew on it and took a sip. "It's indeed delicious. If there weren't so many herbs in it, it would be even more delicious."
Duan Xiaolin pinched her tender face and said, "Drink more. This is all yours."
Then he said to Ma Mengxiang in the kitchen, "There's still half of it in there. You and Yingzi can drink it."
Pei Xiqing wailed, "It's so painful, so painful!"
Duan Xiaolin pulled out a chair and sat next to her like a supervisor: "It's a bit hard, but I'll accompany you."
As he said that, he took the bowl and chopsticks and poured himself a big bowl of chicken soup.
Pei Xiqing sighed.
Now I have to drink it.
After dinner, Ma Mengxiang and Yingzi went out. Pei Xiqing was reading a magazine on a chair when she heard the man beside her say, "Don't go out easily during this period."
Pei Xiqing raised her eyes: "Hmm? What do you mean?"
She is not allowed to go out. What happened outside?
"The situation of natural disasters has worsened significantly compared to before."
"You want to go to Franlon?"
"Stay in the evening and come back the next day."
Pei Xiqing said, "You're working too hard. If you don't have time, don't rush back. I can take care of the family by myself. Besides, Mengxiang and the others are here. Don't force yourself to come back."
"I will come back every day, otherwise I will not be able to rest assured."
"Then be careful." Pei Xiqing felt distressed, "Why do you have to toss back and forth? Otherwise, I'll just follow you."
"It's still safe here."
Pei Xiqing sighed: "Okay."
If she went over now, it would probably only cause them trouble. If it were before, it would be fine. But now that she is pregnant, she would cause trouble wherever she goes. It would be better for her to stay here.
Duan Xiaolin was about to get up to wash the dishes, but before he could stand up, Pei Xiqing grabbed him.
She insisted, "You must be careful when you get out. Even though I know you will come back, you must not get hurt. You can't take too many risks. If I see any injuries on your body, you're doomed."
Duan Xiaolin was pulled so hard by her that he couldn't move. She had no choice but to pick him up along with the blanket.
"You'll see me when you wake up."
"You're lying."
"Honestly."
The two men entered the kitchen.
Crowded in one space.
They could hear each other's heartbeats.
She put her arms around the man's neck.
He spoke after a while.
"Then I'll wait for you."
The days go by one by one.
The situation outside is extremely bad.
Even at the base, she could feel the constant howling of the wind above her head.
But she could see Duan Xiaolin almost every time she woke up.
He did it.
But every time he came back, his eyes and brows were filled with a hint of fatigue.
Pei Xiqing leaned against the pillow and gently stroked the man's brow.
He whispered, "Go to sleep."
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the due date.
Pei Xiqing was calm, but Ma Mengxiang was almost dying of anxiety.
He had been circling in front of her, pacing back and forth for seven or eight days in a row.
Pei Xiqing rested her chin on her hand, leaning against the table in the vegetable garden. She still looked pretty and delicate, but her belly was round, making her look listless.
She said, "Oh, don't worry, just turn around and eat. Don't you care about the food?"
Ma Mengxiang put her hands behind her back and said, "Vegetables are nothing. I'm just worried that you'll be in labor and suffer. Do you understand what I mean? Many women in the village have given birth before. I was young at the time, and even hearing that at the doorway made my scalp tingle. It felt like someone was being ripped open without anesthesia."
"Maybe you'll experience it in the future."
"I'm not, I can't even find a boyfriend. Isn't it a bit too early for you to tell me this now?"
"It's not early, and who said you can't find a boyfriend? Isn't there a ready-made one right in front of you?"
Ma Mengxiang looked at the man standing at the entrance of the vegetable garden, as tall as a pine or cypress, and curled her lips: "Forget it."
Shadow stood at the door and could still hear the conversation inside, so he subconsciously touched his nose.
Pei Xiqing smiled.
"You better take care of your vegetables. If you don't till the soil, it will be too late. How will you grow your green vegetables?"
Ma Mengxiang carried the hoe and said, "It will be done in a short while. It's simple."
As he spoke, he swung the hoe and dug the ground dozens of times.
Pei Xiqing watched as her stomach began to ache, and she frowned slightly.
She had been having contractions all this time, and Duan Xiaolin would massage her every time. But now that Duan Xiaolin was not around, she felt the contractions were a little unusual, and quickly called out, "Mengxiang."
Ma Mengxiang dropped the hoe and rushed over: "What's wrong! Are you about to give birth?"
Pei Xiqing's face was pale, and sweat was on his forehead: "It's possible..."
She wasn't quite sure, but this time the pain was particularly intense.
I can’t stand it anymore.
The pain made her want to die.
It's ten thousand times more painful than the previous zombie virus.
Just as Ma Mengxiang was about to help her to the side, she saw blood on the ground under her skirt. "Oh! My water broke! Brother Yingzi! Come quickly!"
Shadow came quickly and informed Long Yan through the communicator, "Come quickly."
Then he picked up Pei Xiqing and carried her sideways, quickly moving her to the other side of the door.
