Liang Zhirou didn't know why this man always felt that he wasn't doing enough.
She clearly wanted to see mountains, but Chen Lu, being such a lazy person, took her to the foot of Mount Tai the very next day; she wanted to see the sea, so Chen Lu took her to the beach she had dreamed of since childhood to take wedding photos, personally capturing her most beautiful and happiest moment in her life in a photo frame.
Whenever I see those wedding photos again, my heart still races.
As a result, this person foolishly thought that she wasn't happy enough.
He doesn't seem very bright.
......
"Why aren't you eating at the table?" Wang Xiaoxia asked curiously as she saw Chen Mo pick up his bowl and leave.
"That game wasn't finished."
Chen Mo ran very fast and quickly went inside and closed the door.
The fact that he hadn't finished the game was a lie; the real reason was that he could tell his mom was in a bad mood.
Her brother got into trouble and just walked away, but she can't escape.
She dared not eat at the table, for she might get a lecture from Wang Xiaoxia over something.
Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.
Wang Xiaoxia grew angrier the more she thought about it, and glared coldly at Chen Guanglin, "Look at your son and your daughter!"
Chen Guanglin chuckled. He usually only visits your son, but now your daughter is his own.
"Alright, Xiaolu is just not in a rush to have kids. At least she's not asking you to pressure her into marriage. Look at Sister Li downstairs, she's been pressuring her to have kids and go on blind dates for years. That's what's really frustrating. Don't even mention your colleagues, if you count everyone you know, is there anyone whose daughter-in-law is more obedient and prettier than Zhirou?"
Thinking about it this way, Wang Xiaoxia suddenly felt much better, but she still couldn't help saying, "But I just want to hold my grandson..."
As she spoke, she took the initiative to sit next to Chen Guanglin, "Honey, can you think of a way? That little brat isn't afraid of being hit now, and you're the only one in our family who can handle him."
"That depends on what our in-laws think. If you do that, it will make us look like we're bullying their daughter."
“My in-laws were even more anxious than I was. She was the one who asked me to go to Xiaolu's place this afternoon, but then she felt embarrassed and I went by myself.”
"...Okay, okay."
Chen Guanglin waved his hand expressionlessly in agreement, preparing to devise a scheme to make Chen Lu sacrifice a little for the sake of family harmony.
It's really frustrating. The two old ladies have nothing better to do than play with the kids all day long.
Too much free time!
Just as she was thinking about it, Wang Xiaoxia suddenly picked up her phone again, "It's our son on the phone."
"Hey, what's wrong?" She angrily turned on the speakerphone, pulled Chen Guanglin over to listen together, and her eyes were full of "Look at you, look how infuriating your son is."
"Mom, Zhirou is pregnant," Chen Lu said earnestly.
"?"
Wang Xiaoxia and Chen Guanglin exchanged a glance, their eyes both glazed over.
"Chen Lu! Are you taking advantage of me because I'm too old to fight you, and you're just making fun of me?" Wang Xiaoxia's tone still carried a hint of grievance, as if she were getting more and more childish.
Since getting married, Chen Lu has been wary of her, both openly and secretly, countless times. No matter how she tries to urge him, he refuses to engage with her.
She also returned home empty-handed this afternoon, feeling utterly frustrated, as all her efforts had been in vain.
"Why would I lie to you about this? We took a pregnancy test twice, and both times it showed two lines."
"......"
"She doesn't feel nauseous anymore; in fact, her appetite has improved. Is this normal?"
Chen Lu was unusually unsteady, showing none of his usual ease and composure. "I plan to take her to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow, but I'm not sure what to do."
"Morning sickness varies from person to person. The baby is too small now, so we can't find anything during the tests. Let's wait a few more weeks... until the end of the month. You can take Zhirou to the hospital for an ultrasound at the end of the month."
Chen Guanglin listened in stunned silence, while Wang Xiaoxia, after hanging up the phone, still seemed completely bewildered.
A few seconds later, she stopped eating and hurriedly walked towards their bedroom.
"Where are you going?"
"I'll go find your Book of Songs and Songs of Chu, and help Xiaolu think of some names in advance."
"Is it really necessary? She's only just gotten pregnant, she still has ten months of pregnancy to go, why are you in such a hurry?"
Chen Guanglin scoffed, then tagged all the professors from the neighboring Chinese Language and Literature Department in a WeChat group.
[Could you please help me think of some nice-sounding names? Boys or girls are both welcome!]
......
"Do you think he's a boy or a girl?" the girl asked softly, leaning on Chen Lu's shoulder.
"How would I know? I feel like both boys and girls are fine."
If it's a girl, she'll definitely take after her mother; she's been adorable since she was little, just thinking about it melts my heart. If it's a boy... well, at least a boy can boldly go out and "steal" other people's girls, so either way is better.
While speaking, Chen Lu kept his eyes on the computer, flipping through various notices.
He then learned that the saying "ten months of pregnancy" was not accurate. Medically, it seems to be calculated in gestational weeks, which is about forty weeks, or two hundred and eighty days.
It took about nine months in total, which is faster than I expected...
After cramming on various subjects until 10 PM, Liang Zhirou, as always, felt sleepy right on time. Chen Lu went back to the bedroom, coaxed the girl to sleep, and then secretly slipped out again.
That night, Chen Lu sat in front of the coffee table, looking at the pregnancy test stick on it, and sat quietly for half the night.
After the initial panic and helplessness subsided, I was just happy.
A dreamlike joy and a mountain of pressure and responsibility alternated in Chen Lu's mind like the changing of the sun and moon.
One moment I can't help but giggle like an idiot, the next I'm overwhelmed by the pressure.
He thought about it a lot.
The next morning.
