Chapter 84 [ABO Arc] (Part 3): [False Pregnancy Warning]
Song Mingli's expression changed instantly, and he abruptly stood up and grabbed the person's shoulder: "Xiaoxue?"
She could have endured it before, but now, the smell made her stomach acid reflux. Ying Shixue pushed away Song Mingli's hand that was supporting her and got up to walk towards the bathroom.
Fortunately, the restaurant was very well equipped. The restroom was right next to the elevator we had just come up from. The sound of running water was loud. I gripped the side of the sink so hard that my knuckles were turning white. The fine metacarpal bones were protruding on the back of my hand, and my forearm was taut from my fingertips.
He couldn't actually vomit anything. He had only eaten some biscuits since he woke up in the morning. After getting off the plane at noon, he felt a slight tightness in his throat, and when he got busy, he forgot about it.
After several repetitions, the last bit of water in his stomach was expelled. The water flow washed away the vomit, and as he stared at the gleaming bottom of the pool, a feeling of utter bewilderment and grievance arose within him.
Song Mingli was gently patting his back. Seeing that he had stopped vomiting, he took a wet wipe to wipe his face, but Ying Shixue pursed his lips and refused to turn his face away. Song Mingli felt both distressed and anxious: "Has your stomach flared up again because you haven't been eating properly for the past few days? I'll have Chen Sheng come and take a look at you. Come on, turn around, let's wipe your face first..."
As he spoke, he reached out to turn Ying Shixue's face. In the past, Ying Shixue would usually give in halfway, but today she felt inexplicably choked up and actually slapped his hand away very forcefully.
Before Song Mingli could even react, he himself was stunned.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror as if I'd just woken up. Am I crazy? What's wrong with me today? I just lost my appetite and threw up for a little while, why am I so irritable…?
Song Mingli was the first to let go, his voice anxious: "Did I hurt you just now?"
He looked at the small patch of skin on Ying Shixue's skin that he had just pinched; it was very thin, warm, and delicate, with even the slightest mark clearly visible.
Compared to the surrounding skin, it did look a bit redder. Just as he was thinking this, another thought suddenly popped into his head: Why does his face look a little thinner?
He still had one hand around Ying Shixue's waist, because he was afraid she wouldn't be able to support him, since Ying Shixue had almost vomited up her internal organs... Now, as he thought, he spread his fingers and vaguely measured her waist.
I've lost weight.
Ying Shixue was still annoyed by the slap she had just received. This time, she was really facing Song Mingli. After thinking for a moment, she took the initiative to press her face close to his palm.
The two, whose thoughts were completely on different wavelengths, achieved a strange harmony at this moment. The Omega's strength was far too light for the Alpha. He thought he was exerting force, but in reality, the skin on his hands didn't even turn red. Of course, this was also due to his years of training and good physical condition.
But even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. Alphas have virtually no limit to how much they dote on their partners. As long as they don't run off to find other men and do anything else, it's fine. What's wrong with a kitten throwing a tantrum and scratching you a little...
Song Mingli carefully wiped the person down with a wet wipe, then handed the person the soda water he had asked the waiter for before arriving, and fed them sip by sip.
Vomiting takes a toll on one's physical and mental strength, not to mention that he had been changing trains and handling official business non-stop today. Song Mingli almost half-embraced him, his chest firm and reliable, and he actually felt a little tired.
But it hadn't been noticeable before; after drinking a few sips of water, he suddenly felt a sharp hunger in his stomach. He gently nudged Song Mingli, who lowered his head and asked, "Hmm?"
He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his stomach growled.
"......"
This was more powerful than any words could express. Even though she had witnessed even more embarrassing scenes, Ying Shixue still felt inexplicably ashamed and covered her face. Song Mingli kept quiet, not daring to laugh out loud, but the vibration of his chest could still be clearly felt through their physical contact. Finally, he received an elbow strike: "I want to eat!!"
They got all worked up.
Song Mingli coughed and composed himself: "What would you like to eat?"
The seafood feast on that table must have been cleared away. The restaurant manager was trembling with fear, thinking he had done something wrong. Song Mingli waved his hand to indicate that it was alright. After watching the man hesitate for a while, he served a pan-fried lamb chop, braised pigeon with citrus fruit, some seasonal vegetables, and a small bowl of lean meat porridge.
The meat was tender and fragrant, and roasted to perfection. Ying Shixue finally finished the small bowl of food and ate a little of each of the dishes. Song Mingli took care of his eating speed and didn't eat too fast at first, until a small lamb chop appeared on his plate.
Ying Shixue blinked her long eyelashes and said, "It's delicious."
This was an awkward and clumsy way of showing affection. He was eloquent in front of strangers, but when he was with his close friends, he couldn't say anything. Song Mingli smiled and patted his head. Ying Shixue's ears turned red, and he pretended that nothing had happened. He picked up a sour fruit with his chopsticks.
Song Mingli's brow twitched: "Wait..." This sour fruit was meant to neutralize the milky taste and enhance the freshness of the pigeon meat. Although it was edible, it was very sour. Before he could finish his sentence, Ying Shixue chewed and swallowed the fruit with a normal expression. She was looking at him with some confusion.
......
No, something must be wrong. Could it be that the fruit isn't actually sour? He also picked up a fruit with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The next second, he frowned and forced himself to finish it.
Ying Shixue must have been starving during the day, because she ate quite a lot, and when she finally left, she felt unusually full and could barely walk. She slumped in her chair, groaning. Song Mingli rubbed her stomach, amused and exasperated at the same time. His warm hands rubbed slowly in one direction, but the rubbing soon took a turn for the worse.
The clothes underneath were thin in early summer, and through the fabric, one could vaguely feel the thin layer of soft flesh on his stomach. Newlyweds reunited after a short separation, Song Mingli kissed his forehead, wanting to carry him back to the car or the room. However, when he looked down, he found that Ying Shixue had actually fallen asleep.
Her hair was jet black and soft, her cheeks were snow-white, and she leaned against him without any defenses. A small, warm patch of soft flesh was squeezed out of her left cheek, her lips were slightly parted, and her breathing was shallow.
Song Mingli stared at the soft flesh on his cheek for a while, grinding his back teeth. It took him a long time to suppress the urge to bite it and slowly grind it in his mouth. He then pulled the man's coat up and carried him away.
As we walked out of the lobby, the two waiters standing on either side of the door exclaimed in surprise without a sound. They then looked at each other and saw a look of disbelief on each other's faces.
Wow, we've been married for two or three years and our relationship is still so good.
It was almost ten o'clock when they got back to the villa. Chen Sheng had already brought a full set of medical examination equipment and was on high alert, but the person had fallen asleep and many tests could not be done. In the end, he only made a brief record.
Looking at the data on the instrument, Chen Sheng said, "Hmm... the data shows there's nothing seriously wrong. It's probably just a stress response caused by irregular eating and sleeping habits in the last few days. But further analysis might require a few more tests sometime."
Song Mingli nodded. The doctor knew from the scene that he was out of the picture. Besides, the strong smell of Alph in the air made him, a Beta, feel uncomfortable and oppressed. After saying a few more words of advice, he quickly got up, packed his things, and left.
She hadn't woken up after all that fiddling, probably because she was really sleepy, or perhaps because she was enveloped in a reassuring aura. Ying Shixue was still nestled softly and obediently in his arms.
So good.
He lowered his head and kissed the tip of his lover's nose, then gently bit it, mischievously watching the delicate brows furrow, before letting go just in time before the lover woke up.
I wish I could hold you like this forever.
Song Mingli sighed silently.
However, this was ultimately impossible. The week following the successful negotiation was incredibly busy. Although he ate three meals a day on time under supervision, they could only see each other in the mornings and evenings. And, he wondered if it was just his imagination, but Ying Shixue seemed to have lost weight again...
It's understandable that you might not eat well while traveling for work, but how can you expect to come back and have your food under your nose every day without gaining any weight?
Ying Shixue was completely unaware of his thoughts. At seven o'clock in the evening, the city lights were on and the streets were bustling with traffic, but the SK Building was still brightly lit, and almost no workstations were empty. The secretary gently knocked on the door of the top-floor office: "President Ying, the live broadcast of the display and promotion of this season's new products has begun."
Ying Shixue was looking at financial statements when she heard this. She put down her pen and rubbed her forehead wearily. "I understand."
He didn't know why, even though he had already adjusted his schedule, he still felt sleepy and tired after working for a long time during the day. But now was a critical period and he couldn't spare the time. Maybe he really should pay more attention, just like Song Mingli said.
The secretary continued her report dutifully: "We've invited some of the platform's biggest streamers to liven things up. They're in the lobby downstairs. Would you like to go check them out?"
He wouldn't normally attend such events, but now that he was getting a headache from looking at the reports, he hesitated for a moment before getting up and saying, "I'll go check on the opening."
The secretary was clearly surprised, but then realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go and inform them."
This is their newly launched computer system version this season, which is designed to be powerful and feature-rich, targeting people with high demands for computer functionality. Game streamers use this computer to stream their games, while the host occasionally takes the opportunity to promote it.
This streamer's real name is Feng Gui, and his online name is Potato King. The two of them chose a rather silly name. He is currently the top streamer in the Qingjiao gaming section. He is 25 years old but has been a streamer for seven years. He is a true homebody who wants to play games for almost 25 hours a day. He initially accumulated his first batch of fans by playing and streaming games on time every day. His style is humorous and funny, and his reputation is also quite good.
Since he was invited with a hefty commission, he was bound to promote it vigorously. What's more, this is SK! His aunt still brings up the fact that his cousin's cousin, who was the daughter-in-law's cousin, successfully joined SK after graduation three years ago, at the dinner table from time to time.
"I was invited here by SK today too~" he thought to himself with a touch of smugness. Three cameras were filming him live from all angles, and the audience had long been curious about what the inside of the SK building looked like. At this moment, the comments section was buzzing with excitement.
Several live streams were broadcasting simultaneously. When the host saw Ying Shixue come down, she wasn't sure if he wanted to be on camera, so she quickly cut the camera off. Ying Shixue gestured to her, indicating that he was just there to take a look and that everything would proceed as usual.
The Potato King was still immersed in his rapping art, babbling on and on: "This computer, this keyboard, the feel is just extraordinary, damn it! The problem is, this computer is so expensive I can't afford it, you know? And look at the appearance..."
He was about to turn on the camera to show the camera when he looked up and was startled by the rapidly scrolling barrage of comments.
[Holy shit!! Holy shit!! Holy shit!!]
[The person upstairs is so uncultured! Holy crap, who's that beautiful woman next to them?!]
Holy crap, those waist and legs! What's the point of just showing us their back? SK is completely clueless about customer service. Do they even want customers to place orders?
He's coming this way!
What are you saying upstairs?! Holy crap, wait a minute, this really seems to be SK's father!
【！！！】
[Is it that one?! Is it that one?! I saw his interview before, and even in that one photo with such terrible lighting, he looked amazing.]
[Is he married?]
[It seems they got married after reaching the legal marriage age, but they've always been very secretive. They never show their faces and never give interviews.]
[Wait, isn't a lifelong marking required for marriage? If he's an Omega... Holy crap, he wouldn't have accepted lifelong marking and gotten married at only 20 years old, would he?!]
Even though technology and medicine have advanced to this extent, lifelong marking is still a very cautious matter, and basically no Omega would be willing to be marked for life at the age of 20.
[Holy crap, is her husband a beast? Doesn't he care about her at all, he's so young?]
[Wait a minute, upstairs, forget about getting married or not. I sat bolt upright in my deathbed, startled – the traitor Cao Cao was actually me!]
【No, no, no! Back off!! All of you back off!! I suspect his mouth is poisoned!! Be careful! I'll test it on myself first!!】
[What are you upstairs thinking? I really don't have time to mess around with you. What kind of cross-dressing is this... Actually, I suspect this is a honey trap used by SK to boost their sales for the new quarter. You all step back, I'm a seasoned veteran, I'll take on the challenge!!]
Meanwhile, the lobby on the first floor
The automatic door opened with a beep, and Song Mingli strode in, carrying a thermos. The receptionist who rushed forward nodded slightly in greeting and then pressed the button for the elevator to go up.
