After three months, Mencius He's stomach swelled up rapidly as if blowing air, as if it changed every day. She felt a little scared when she saw it, so she ran to see a doctor.
After a series of checks, everything was normal except that the child was bigger. The doctor told her that if the parents are tall people, the baby will be bigger than the average child in the womb.
Only then did Mencius feel relieved. She is tall and knows how to dress, and with a little thought, her stomach doesn't look so obtrusive.
Xu Xia laughed at her for fussing, and said: "What are you afraid of when you are big, it's not good if you are small, because you are afraid of malnutrition." He threw a handful of walnuts on the table: "Eat some of this to nourish the child's brain."
The walnuts were smashed by Xu Xia in advance, and the skin and flesh were separated when he peeled them casually. Mencius He was sitting against the wall, the sun shining gently on her shoulders. She has gotten a little fatter recently, her originally thin shoulders became rounded, and the white flowers were exposed outside, like snow and fat, Xu Xia's throat tightened when she saw it, and she hurriedly looked away.
During this period of time, the relationship between Mencius He and Xu Xia seemed to be much closer, the two of them did nothing but eat together. Xu Xia didn't know where to get so many pregnant women's recipes, so she cooked them at home and gave them to Mencius. Later, Mencius He didn't have to start fires by himself at all. He left home at about eleven o'clock every day, went to Xu Xia's for lunch, then spent the afternoon in the cafe, and went back after dinner.
Of course, Mencius was not ashamed to take his money for free. Besides giving money, he also helped to do what he could.
She gave the money, Xu Xia took it, she did things, as long as there was no danger, Xu Xia didn't care, but Ren Dandan often complained, "Xu Xia, take care of her, be careful not to fall."
Xu Xia looked up and saw that Mencius was setting the table, he said with a smile: "What's the use, she won't listen to me."
Jiang Kaicheng looked funny, and whispered to Ren Dandan: "Are these two interesting or not? Xu Xia doesn't really want to be the child's father, does he?"
Ren Dandan looked down on Meng Zihe at first, thinking that she would be okay with Chen Hua, but if she matched with Xu Xia, it would be almost impossible. It's not that Xu Xia is better than Chen Hua, but she thinks Xu Xia is too kind, soft-tempered, and can't bear it. Mencius, if they are together, Xu Xia will definitely suffer.
However, Mencius He's recent performance made her feel that the beautiful woman who looked a little arrogant was actually quite down-to-earth. Not as cold as imagined, when she was quiet, she lowered her eyes to read a book, her expression was peaceful, her gaze was leisurely, as if she had been washed away from the vicissitudes of life, it felt very real. Although she is pregnant, she is not squeamish, and is meticulous in her work.
Ren Dandan felt that if there was no such child, it would be good for Mencius and Xu Xia to be together.
It's just... children do exist, and from a worldly point of view, if Xu Xia and Mencius were together, it would be a fool!
Normal men would not be stupid, such as Chen Hua, who decisively severed his relationship with Mencius He.
Thinking of Chen Hua, he really hasn't been here for a while, Ren Dandan said: "What's wrong with being a father, picking up a son for nothing, what a wonderful thing, Brother Chen just can't figure it out."
Jiang Kaicheng laughed, put his arms around her shoulders, and said: "You can figure it out. If I have a son, you will be a stepmother when you come in. Are you happy?"
Ren Dandan shook his shoulders and slapped him, "What nonsense, whose house did you enter? Your house? Are you dreaming?"
"What's wrong with me?" Jiang Kaicheng asked her: "Although I'm not as rich as Brother Chen, and I'm not as rich as Xu Xia, but I'm down-to-earth, and I'm sure I'll have a big future in the future. If you choose me now, you just choose me." A potential stock."
Ren Dandan pursed his lips: "Let's talk about it when you are promising in the future."
"Why don't you settle it now? In the future, when I'm successful, the girls line up for a blind date, and you have no advantage."
Ren Dandan laughed straight: "Your future is all in your mouth."
Seeing that the two were talking poorly, Xu Xia went over to help Mencius He: "It's almost enough, don't be too tired."
"It's okay." Mencius stood with his arms akimbo and rested. "The doctor said that more exercise is conducive to childbirth."
"Do you want to give birth by yourself?"
"Of course, natural birth is good for the baby."
"I heard that caesarean section is less painful."
"Who said, how can a knife in the stomach not hurt?"
"It seems that cutting with a knife hurts more."
"What scissors?" Mencius blinked, then suddenly covered his mouth and laughed: "Strange, why should I discuss this kind of issue with you?"
Xu Xia was also a little embarrassed. He had been looking up matters related to childbirth on the Internet recently. He knew everything he should know and what he shouldn't know.
Mencius He had a thin and thick layer of sweat on the tip of his nose. His smile seemed to be wrinkled. He was very cute. He whispered, "Don't move."
Mencius was taken aback for a moment, and really stopped moving. She thought there was something dirty on her face, but Xu Xia took a tissue and dabbed it on her nose twice, saying, "You're sweating."
Mencius He blushed, took the paper in his hand, and smiled unnaturally, "I'll do it myself."
She has always been generous in front of Xu Xia, and has never blushed, but the man's behavior really surprised her. Although Xu Xia admitted that she liked her, he never had any intimate behavior towards her. In front of her, he never He is a gentle gentleman who makes people feel safe.
In the afternoon, Chen Hua came over. When we met for the first time after breaking up, he seemed a little unnatural. When introducing Meng Zihe, he said lightly: "Miss Meng."
The new girlfriend thought that Mencius He was Xu Xia's woman, and congratulated them with a smile.
Ren Dandan lowered his head and sniggered, Jiang Kaicheng excused himself to walk away, Xu Xia was smiling and courteous, Mencius He frowned and said thank you. Only Chen Hua's face sank like water, and he suddenly stopped talking.
The new girlfriend was puzzled, she didn't know what she said wrong, she liked Chen Hua very much, seeing him suddenly upset, she was a little timid, and didn't dare to say more.
Originally, the seat in the corner had always belonged to Mencius He, but Chen Hua seemed to be used to it, and sat there whenever he came. Mencius He sat there eating Xu Xia's stewed soup, and didn't intend to leave. Chen Hua took two sips of coffee and felt that she was in a panic, so she left her new girlfriend behind and ran to the counter to find Xu Xia.
As soon as he left, the new girlfriend dared to speak and chatted with Mencius He: "When will the baby be born?"
Mencius He told her: "There are still three months."
"It's hard work with such a big belly every day, isn't it?"
"Get used to it."
"Is this soup made by Xu Xia?"
"Yes, he likes to do it."
Just as he was talking, Ren Dandan came over and put a plate of shelled walnuts in front of Mencius He: "Xu Xia said, eat this after you finish the soup."
"Thank him for me."
The new girlfriend was a little surprised: "Do you want to thank you for this relationship?"
"No matter how good the relationship is, this is what it should be." Mencius He said with a smile, "He has done too much for me."
New girlfriends always say thank you to foreign couples, which probably means that. However, Chinese couples are less polite. Most Chinese wives think that their husbands should do these things, and there will be problems if they don’t.
Chen Hua lay on the counter watching Xu Xia wipe the dishes, "You, why are you with Mencius?"
Xu Xia didn't raise her head, "No."
The corners of Chen Hua's mouth twitched, as if to smile or not: "Keep it secret with me, just stay together, and I won't say anything? The matter between me and her is over."
"Really not," Xu Xia piled up the plates one by one and put them in the disinfection cabinet.
"I see that you are very close now. Xiao Jiang said that you make her three meals a day. She stays here all day, so she will go back to sleep."
"She has a big belly, and it's inconvenient to cook at home alone. I'm free anyway, so I help out. She wants to pay for it."
"Really?" Chen Hua didn't believe it.
"If you don't believe me, ask her yourself."
Chen Hua was silent for a while, then asked him again: "Xu Xia, have you always liked her?"
"like."
"Then, she is like this, you still..."
"When she recognized her, she was like this."
"But no one knew at that time, and she didn't tell it herself. If she did, how could I..."
Xu Xia said lightly, "I can see it."
Chen Hua was surprised: "You saw it? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought you saw it too."
"I see what a fart." Chen Hua felt a little regretful, he was so fascinated by Mencius He at that time, how could he pay attention to those things.
"Xu Xia, you should think about it. If you marry her, you will have to be a stepfather as soon as the child is born. Don't worry?"
Xu Xia stopped what she was doing, and took a serious look at him: "You haven't written your horoscope yet, what are you worrying about?"
Chen Hua was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"She didn't agree," Xu Xia told him truthfully, "She said I wasn't the one she was looking for."
Chen Hua felt relieved, and couldn't help feeling better. She patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Forget it if you don't agree, there are many good women, so why hang yourself on a tree like her. I'll introduce one to you another day. "
"No need," Xu Xia also smiled, "I only like her."
"But she doesn't like you."
"It's okay, I can wait."
Chen Hua glanced at him angrily, "Let's talk about it after you pass your parents' test."
Xu Xia still had no expression on her face, "I am looking for a wife, not my parents."
Xu Xia was actually blunt. His parents knew it themselves. If they knew that he liked an unmarried mother, they would be so angry that they would drag him back to receive re-education.
Every night at 9:30, Xu Xia would take Mencius He home, because she lived not far away, so the two of them walked back slowly.
The night is bustling. Although it is a small city, it is also full of flowers. Neon lights are shining everywhere, and people are admiring. It is a lively scene.
The night breeze was slightly cool, blowing on the face, as if every pore was relaxed. Mencius He gently touched his stomach, and suddenly let out a soft cry.
Xu Xia hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
"Baby kicked me again."
Xu Xia remembered that Mencius He was very excited when the baby moved for the first time, and he held him and talked for a long time, so he was a little curious and kept looking at her belly.
Mencius was a little proud. Although the child hadn't been born yet, she was so lively and active that she couldn't help showing off. Seeing Xu Xia's curious look, she said, "Do you want to feel it?"
Xu Xia hesitated for a moment, a little excited: "Is it possible?"
"Of course." Mencius He took his hand and put it on his stomach.
But this kind of thing never happened. After waiting for a long time, the child didn't move, but Xu Xia's palms were sweating, and he withdrew his hand with a blushing face: "It seems that the baby is afraid of life."
Mencius He laughed and said, "Why don't you be your son's godfather? Then he will get to know you better."
Xu Xia didn't say anything, and walked a few steps before saying, "I want to be his own father."
Mencius raised his head in astonishment: "Xu Xia, you..."
Xu Xia said seriously: "I know you disagree, but I can wait slowly."
Under the moonlight, this man who usually looks a little warm exudes a strange charm, like a towering tree, which can make people feel at ease.
Mencius He was almost tempted, but she still shook her head, Xu Xia is a rare good man, she can't be so selfish, it's too unfair to him.
