"Are you feeling better?" He didn't know how long it had been before he spoke again. He inserted his big hand into her hair, held the back of her neck, and moved her little face off his shoulder.
"Yeah." She nodded, her hands still wrapped around his waist.
"You're feeling better now, let's go downstairs and eat something." Bai Yeqing put his hand behind her and took one of her arms. "You didn't eat anything tonight, and I heard from the housekeeper that you vomited in the afternoon."
Actually, I couldn't eat much. I had no appetite due to my pregnancy and bad mood. But for the sake of the baby in my belly and to prevent him from worrying too much, I had to go down with him.
Considering her being a pregnant woman, the food in the kitchen is very light.
But after she took two bites, she still felt like retching and vomiting. Forcing herself to eat when she couldn't eat was a torture. Even though Bai Yeqing wanted her to eat more, he couldn't bear to force her. He asked the kitchen to bring her two sour plums to suppress the sour taste in her stomach. Only then did she look much better.
… … …
After going upstairs and taking a shower, Xia Xingchen lay on the bed with little energy. She put two high pillows below her chest and above her abdomen to prevent the child from being crushed.
Her hair was spread out on the pillow.
Bai Yeqing came out of the bathroom, lifted a corner of the quilt, and carried her in. "Ask the gynecologist when you go to the hospital tomorrow to see if there is any medicine that can suppress the pregnancy reaction."
"It's okay, these reactions are normal." Xia Xingchen said weakly, "When I was pregnant with Dabai, I vomited much more severely than this. Now I can tolerate it."
Bai Yeqing felt distressed when he heard her casual words.
He stretched out his long arms and held her in his arms.
The big palm slowly stroked her soft hair.
"Can't sleep?"
"Um."
"What are you thinking about?"
"Missing my dad..." Xia Xingchen's fingers lingered on his collarbone, unconsciously tracing the sexy shape, "Tell me, if my mom - I mean if... one day she really passed away, what do you think my dad... will do?"
Bai Yeqing's breathing became heavier. He grabbed her hand and held it tightly without saying anything. Xia Xingchen knew what he was thinking. After a moment of silence, she sighed heavily, "You think the same as I do."
"If that's the case, at least they have no regrets in this life." He lowered his head and looked at her, "Meeting someone and spending your whole life with them is also a kind of happiness."
When he said this, his eyes were deep and very moving.
Xia Xingchen had an illusion that these words were not an exclamation of emotion, but were directed at her.
She hugged him tightly, murmuring and repeating: "Meeting one person, spending a lifetime... I think, if there is such a day, I will also..."
Bai Yeqing exerted a little force with his arms and easily lifted her onto his body. He let her straddle his waist, raised her little face, and met his eyes.
Her long black hair hung down and swept across his face.
He used his long, bony fingers to push the hair on the right side of her face back so that he could see her expression clearly.
Then, he lowered his voice and asked, "What can you do?"
She stared at him steadily, with a tiny dark light flashing in her eyes, "In the future, when we are too old to bear it, I will hold your hand... and go to hell together..."
Bai Yeqing's breathing became heavier, his eyes were full of energy and emotion, "You are pregnant now, you are not allowed to say such unlucky words. But... for your words, I will try to live longer."
After a pause, he added: "Same for you, live longer."
She smiled and nodded.
Then, Bai Yeqing pressed his head down and kissed her lips.
She let out a soft 'hmm' and his tongue went straight in, exploring deeper.
Meet one person, spend your whole life...
To be honest, this is also a happy thing.
… … … … … … … …
The next day.
Early in the morning, Xia Xingchen vomited again.
Bai Yeqing called Fu Yichen, who told him not to worry and said it was just a normal reaction.
Bai Yeqing was in a bad mood. "It's a normal reaction. Are you about to vomit bile?"
So the fact that the pregnant woman in their family isn't vomiting anymore is a normal reaction
"Then what else can we do? Pregnancy is so painful for women. After they get through this stage, there will be something even more painful waiting for them." Fu Yichen was also a little worried about this.
Recently, he has been looking up information about childbirth online, especially the recent medical news reports on pregnant women dying during childbirth. Therefore, whenever he sees the word "thrombosis", he feels like he is having a nightmare. Although he knows that he is somewhat worrying too much and as a doctor he should not be so irrational, he is always too nervous when things happen to him.
In contrast to him, Wei Yang was much calmer about this matter, and even thought he was a little neurotic.
She was not allowed to do this or that, and there were so many random requests that she felt she could not bear it any longer. She dreamed every day that the little lump in her stomach would come out quickly.
Bai Yeqing was already upset that he didn't get any effective solution from Fu Yichen on how to suppress morning sickness, but he was even more irritated by his words "even worse things are waiting for them". He called him "quack" and hung up the phone.
Fu Yichen felt very aggrieved.
He is not a gynecologist, just a surgeon! Even though he has many areas of expertise, he cannot be involved in gynecology. It is so unfair.
Xia Dabai frowned and stood by, handing her tissues as she lay on the toilet.
Xia Xingchen took a breath, wiped her lips, and forced a smile at the child with her pale face. Xia Dabai frowned even more, "Don't smile, it doesn't look good."
"..." Xia Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He flushed the toilet and rinsed his mouth while sitting on the toilet lid. "Seeing how miserable I am, can't you comfort me and say it looks good?"
Xia Dabai cast his eyes on her still flat belly, squatted down, touched it with his little hand, and then, with a stern face, pretended to be fierce and said: "You are not allowed to bully Dabao again, otherwise, when you come out, Xiaobai and I will bully you together to avenge our Dabao! Do you hear me?"
Xia Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You are such a fierce brother. What if your little brother or sister is scared by you and dares not come out?"
"… No way?"
"meeting."
Xia Dabai seemed to regret it a little.
He coughed, cleared his throat, straightened his back, and spoke again: "Of course, if you behave yourself from now on, Dabao and I can forgive you for what happened. If Xiaobai bullies you in the future, don't worry, Dabao and I will definitely protect you and help you bully Xiaobai."
This time, the voice was much softer.
