The night seemed to pass very quickly, and when Pei Zheng opened his eyes again, he was indeed back in that chaotic darkness, but pictures were flashing before his eyes, all of which were memories of him and the little man.
They were at the edge of a cliff, at Liuyun Villa, at a frontier military camp, in a foreign desert, in Ghost Valley with green mountains and clear waters, in the imperial capital's drum tower with fireworks, in the imperial palace with a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses...
Everything around has changed again. This is a small courtyard, simple and clean, covered with snow.
Pei Zheng was wearing thin clothes, but he did not feel the cold at all even though he was in the snow. He stood in the snow without leaving any footprints. He was like a frivolous soul floating in the air.
The door of the house opened and a figure walked out. He was wearing a thick robe, which made his small body look a little clumsy.
Pei Zheng immediately noticed the little guy's bulging belly, which was bigger than when they were separated in the imperial capital. It looked like he was already pregnant for a month.
Pei Zheng walked over quickly and wanted to help the little guy, but his arm went straight through his body.
I can't touch him, I can't hug him, and he can't hear me when I talk to him.
The little guy had no idea that there was someone standing next to him and looking at him. He was holding a medicine box tightly and looked like he was going out.
Pei Zheng was anxious and wanted to stop him but was powerless.
He is so heavy now that he shouldn't go out again. Besides, it's freezing outside. What if he slips and falls
The little guy was walking down the stairs by himself, holding the medicine box in one hand and supporting his big round belly with the other. Pei Zheng's heart tightened with every step he took.
The little guy couldn't see what was under his feet at all. Suddenly he stepped on empty air and almost fell down. Pei Zheng's hands were always protecting him, trying to catch him. Fortunately, the little guy shook his body and steady himself, then patted his chest and gasped.
"Huhaha... I'm so scared..."
"master!"
Another figure rushed out from the door, passed directly through Pei Zheng's illusory body, ran to the little man and supported him.
"Why did you come out by yourself? I didn't see you just now. Are you planning to sneak to the clinic with your medicine box?"
Li Yu had a stern face and said to the little man in a serious tone, "Master, this Weiyang City is not the only clinic, nor are you the only doctor. You are in such a bad condition right now, you shouldn't go out anymore. You should just lie down in bed and keep warm. Your biggest task is to spend this winter with you and the young master safely."
Li Yu almost expressed what Pei Zheng was thinking, and he nodded approvingly.
The little guy pulled Li Yu's sleeve a little aggrievedly, "Xiao Yuzi, but Grandma Wang's illness..."
Li Yu took the medicine box from his hand and said, "No matter if it's Grandma Wang or Grandma Li, or even Grandma Sun, as long as I, Xiao Yuzi, am guarding the door, don't even think about going out before you give birth!"
Li Yu helped the little guy back to the warm house without saying anything.
Although the little guy still felt aggrieved, he turned his head to look at the heavy snow outside, and obediently followed Li Yu back to the house.
But before he even stepped foot into the door, the little guy's face suddenly changed, and he groaned twice, holding his stomach.
"Xiao... Xiao Yuzi... I... I have a stomachache..."
—In the time it takes to say a few words, the little guy's face has turned pale with pain.
Li Yu panicked, "Master! Master, what happened to you? Why do you suddenly have a stomachache? I haven't had any pain in these days, what's wrong now? Could it be..."
Li Yu shouted outside the yard, "Wind! Guard! Guard!"
Chengfeng came back in a hurry from somewhere, his body covered with snow.
Li Yu hurriedly said, "Guard Feng, the master is about to give birth! Go find a midwife and I'll take care of the master first!"
Chengfeng rushed out again in a hurry.
The little guy felt waves of pain in his abdomen, and his lower body was also hurting. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Li Yu took a lot of effort to help him lie down on the bed.
"Ah... it hurts..."
**The little guy closed his eyes and whimpered in pain.
Li Yu took a piece of hot cloth and wiped his sweat. "Master, hold on a little longer. The midwife will be here soon. You have to hold on..."
But the pain kept coming more and more, the little guy's eyes were full of tears, and he was no longer clear-headed due to the pain.
He must not be clear-headed, otherwise how could he see Brother Pei? Brother Pei was standing beside his bed, looking at him with eyes full of worry, anxiety and love.
He seemed to be still talking to himself. He said, my little darling, you have suffered. I am sorry for leaving you here alone. I am sorry for letting you face such a painful situation alone. I am sorry that I was not with you at such an important moment.
"No... It's okay... Brother Pei... You... You are here..."
The little man reached out to the bed and gently held the slender hand hanging by his side.
Li Yu looked at the empty space and his eyes suddenly turned red. The master might have hallucinations due to the pain and must have seen the adult.
Pei Zheng was stunned for a moment when he was held by that warm little hand. He felt it carefully and found that the touch was real.
The little man held him.
Pei Zheng leaned down and sat beside his bed, then reached out to touch his forehead, his black hair, and his tearful eyes.
—It must be very painful. There will be many unexpected events when women give birth, let alone the rare situation of a man being pregnant.
If he had known that giving birth was such a painful thing and would almost cost the child half his life, Pei Zheng would never let him suffer this pain. He would have asked Jiang Yubai to change his physique to allow him to have children before he became pregnant.
Anyway, Pei Zheng is alone, and having this little person is enough for him, and there is no need to pass on the family line.
Now seeing the little guy almost fainting from the pain, Pei Zhengxin felt almost dying from the pain too.
Fortunately, Chengfeng and the midwife arrived in time, and everything around him gradually became blurred in Pei Zheng's eyes.
When he looked clearly again, he saw a little baby holding a big snowball in front of him.
The little baby was standing in front of Pei Zheng. He was short and just reached Pei Zheng's knees. He had to raise his head very hard to see Pei Zheng's face.
