As the saying goes: If you plant flowers deliberately, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will make shade.
After Han Lin and Xie Yu signed a series of contracts and successfully obtained the certificate, Qiu Cheng, who was full of joy and waiting for the seeds to germinate, was in vain.
"It's my period, it's so uncomfortable, I lie on the bed and don't want to move."
Listening to Shi Rao's feeble voice on the phone, Qiu Cheng felt that his uncle was coming soon, rubbing the throbbing veins on his forehead, and comforting her patiently.
"Have you asked for leave? Ask the director for a leave of absence and rest for half a day, and then go to the set when you are not so tired."
"Please, it doesn't hurt, it's just unspeakably uncomfortable. I can't lift up all over, I want to sleep but I can't sleep, I really want you to hug me."
"Baby, I still have work here."
"I know, so I used to think, you have to show up if you don't want it. Can't you even coax me?"
Shi Rao lay on the bed, and the more he talked, the more wronged he became, "I don't usually contact you, and you say I'm heartless. When I finally needed you, you said such things to me, why are you so annoying."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that. Are you hungry, do you want me to order a meal for you?"
"I don't have an appetite, I can't eat it. Xiao Yao bought rice, and I can't eat it after two bites."
It may be the reason why she has been shooting night scenes recently, which disrupted her work and rest time, so she will be extra tired this time when she is on her period.
"How about drinking water? Try drinking some honey water."
"I don't want to, can you talk to me? Maybe I will fall asleep while chatting."
"Okay, I'll chat with you for a while." He sat in front of the computer, holding the phone in his left hand, and swiping the mouse with his right.
Shi Rao complained on the phone for a while, then fell asleep in a daze, listening to the gentle breathing on the other end of the phone, Qiu Cheng quietly hung up the call.
Because the curtains in the room were tightly drawn, she fell asleep straight into the night, and when she sat up, she touched something that was a bit elastic and a bit hard, and she almost cried out in fright.
With a snap, the light turned off. She looked at the man lying beside her, doubting that she hadn't woken up from the dream, pinched her face suspiciously, and took a painful breath, seeing him dumbfounded.
"What are you doing?" Qiu Cheng held her self-harming little paw, gently pulled her to his side, rubbed her lower back, and asked gently.
"Are you still suffering?"
"Are you really here? I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Seeing that she still didn't believe it, he held her little hand and put it on his face, "Do you believe it now?"
Shi Rao blinked, "Can you let me pinch you?"
"..." The man who didn't want to look for abuse, lowered his head and bit her dry and chapped lips gently.
When she was almost suffocated by his kiss, she finally believed that she was not dreaming.
"How did you come?"
"Come and hug you, are you hungry? Let's order something. I heard from your assistant that you hardly ate anything today."
"You choose, I don't know what to eat. When did you arrive?"
"It's been a while." When he was on the phone with her, he had already booked the plane ticket, and when she was sleeping, he had already boarded the plane.
"What about your work?"
"Work is not as important as you." As he spoke, he turned his head and kissed her on the cheek a few times, and took out his mobile phone to order takeaway.
"Nonsense, do you happen to be here on a business trip?" She still couldn't believe that this workaholic would leave work to find herself.
Hearing this, Qiu Cheng raised his eyebrows innocently, and stretched out his hand to pinch the tip of her nose, "Who do you think I am? I said I came for you, so it must be for you. Look, what do you want to eat?"
After making sure that he wasn't lying, Shi Rao huddled in his arms to choose dinner. It's strange to say that she usually has a bland taste, but every time she comes to her period, she wants to eat something strong.
"Stir-fried fat sausage, spicy boneless chicken feet, this duck blood looks good too..."
Qiu Cheng sat on the head of the bed, with his big hands around her waist to prevent her from rolling off his arms, and he didn't point out her menu.
While waiting for the meal, Shi Rao kept rubbing against him and hugging him like a kitten.
"Still uncomfortable?"
"a little bit."
"Do you want me to rub your stomach for you?"
"No need." She lay on Qiu Cheng's body, tilting her head and biting him from time to time, torturing him so much that she couldn't say anything.
"Baby, take it easy, you bit my ear, and I won't be able to go to work tomorrow."
"Are you going back tomorrow?"
"That's right, I'm on the plane tomorrow morning. I'll come to see you after a few days on vacation."
Hearing this, she felt a little lost, she pouted and rubbed against his neck, "What if I don't let you go?"
"Are you not filming tomorrow?"
"..." Shi Rao was startled, and found the crux of the problem, "If I don't film tomorrow, can you stay with me?"
Qiu Cheng frowned and thought about it, "If you don't film tomorrow, I'll stay with you."
I thought she would say, 'Then I will continue to ask for leave tomorrow', but the little head on the shoulder said in a muffled voice, "But I have to film tomorrow, woo woo woo, it's so miserable."
"..." Then why are you talking nonsense to me
Qiu Cheng rolled his eyes in his heart, and said along her hair, "It's okay, I'll come and see you in a few days. Your drama will wrap up in June, right?"
"Well, I should be wrapping up in mid-June."
"That's coming soon, there's still more than a month left. After finishing the filming, just obediently rest at home and take care of your pregnant woman by the way."
When Xie Yu was not pregnant, Han Lin could still bear the distraction of work. Now that she is not working, Han Lin's life is getting worse and worse.
"I don't. There are many servants at home, so I can just talk to her." Speaking of this, she raised her head, fixedly looked at Qiu Cheng's face, and said with a pout.
"After I'm finished, shall we go get the certificate?"
"real?"
"Of course it's true. You can ask them to prepare for the wedding when you go back tomorrow. I want a super luxurious wedding."
"No problem, leave it on me, where are you going on your honeymoon?"
"This...you decide. I haven't traveled much in the past few years, so I don't know where to go and what to do."
Qiu Cheng raised his chin and kissed her lips, "Okay, I'll choose, and you can choose after you've made your choice."
He thought that he would have the opportunity to talk about marriage only after she finished her career, but she didn't expect her to bring it up first. Now he is overjoyed and a little at a loss.
At dawn the next day, Qiu Cheng got up and put on his clothes, and sat beside her when he was about to go out, kissing her sleepy little face.
"I'm leaving, you sleep for a while, remember to eat on time, I will come to see you in a few days."
"It's so early, is it dawn?"
"It's light, you cover the quilt and continue to sleep."
He gently hugged the person on the bed, helped her lift the quilt to her chin, and left with the things lightly.
As soon as he went out, Shi Rao fell asleep. When he woke up, he found no one around him. He thought last night was just a dream.
It wasn't until Xiaoyao came over to say that Mr. Qiu was leaving and told her to supervise her own meals, that she believed that everything last night was not a dream.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Qiu Cheng came to see her once, and showed her the wedding dress style he had carefully selected and the honeymoon location, and the two of them ate rice dumplings to discuss the dress and the honeymoon travel route map.
On the second day after wrapping up, Shi Rao accompanied him to the Civil Affairs Bureau and got his long-cherished marriage certificate. The studio announced that she would take a one-year hiatus from acting.
They don't need to worry about the preparations for the wedding, Qiu Cheng took her out of the country for honeymoon after arranging the work.
Bungee jumping, skydiving, snorkeling, skiing... In the past few years, she has experienced all the things she wanted to do but had no time to do.
The most important thing is that the person who accompanied her to do these things was Qiu Cheng, the man she had liked for more than twenty years.
After the honeymoon, she was darkened for a while, and when she got home, she was laughed at by her poisonous sister.
"I don't know, I thought you were digging coal."
"Just be jealous of me. Is it fun to conceive before marriage? No wedding, no honeymoon, and the baby will come out in a few months."
"..."
Xie Yu, who was frustrated with her self-esteem, glanced at her coldly, turned and walked away holding her belly, making Han Lin's head drenched in sweat.
Originally they wanted to hold a wedding, but her morning sickness reaction has been very serious, and she vomited whatever she ate in those few months, and her body was also very weak.
Later, the period of morning sickness passed, and her belly became firmer. She refused to get married with a big belly, so the wedding was postponed to next year.
Now that Shi Rao said this, it was like stabbing a knife in her heart, and when she realized that she had said something wrong, Shi Rao touched her nose and felt very guilty.
"My sister is angry."
"It's okay, Han Lin will take care of it. If he can't stand it, we will move to my original apartment. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. She can't find you."
"Then who's cooking, don't expect me to cook, I'll go up and apologize to her later."
On the first day after returning home, she offended the least annoying person in the family. She felt that she had lived too comfortably recently and was a little drifting.
When Shi Rao knocked on the door, Xie Yu was reading a book in Han Lin's arms. When she saw her, the eldest lady immediately changed her face, as if I didn't welcome you.
"I know I said something wrong just now, so don't look at me like that."
She stepped forward and squatted beside Xie Yu, looking at her sister's swollen abdomen, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"boy."
"Have you chosen a name?"
"Not yet, I plan to let Dad pick it up."
Shi Rao nodded and stretched out her hand eagerly, "Can I touch it?"
Seeing her sister nodding, she put her hand on it carefully, "It's amazing, Qiu Cheng and I only got back together at this time last year, and I'm going to be an aunt this year."
"Like children? Give birth to one yourself."
"Let's talk about it after you give birth. Our family can't handle two pregnant women."
"You can just stay at Qiu's house."
"That's not okay. My mother-in-law is not interested in anything except her small garden now. How boring it is to stay there."
Speaking of this, she paused, looked up at her sister, "Who will take care of the children in the future?"
"He, if he doesn't bring it, should I?"
Hearing this, Shi Rao turned to look at Han Lin who pretended not to hear anything, and pouted after looking away.
"I'm envious, if I have a child in the future, I definitely can't count on Qiu Cheng."
"There are so many people in the family, are you still afraid that no one will help you take care of the children?"
While talking, Xie Yu raised her hand and tapped her sister's head, "If you want to have a baby, give birth as soon as possible. The age gap between the two children is smaller, and they can play together normally."
"Let's talk about it, I haven't figured it out yet."
On August 25th, Qiu Cheng and Shi Rao held their wedding at Jinglong Hotel. Many people came that day. She didn't have any friends in the circle, so she only invited friends from the studio.
On the night of the wedding, Qiu Cheng prepared the props enthusiastically, but he didn't see her coming out of the bathroom, so he couldn't wait any longer before knocking on the door.
"Baby, it's getting late, let's not waste this beautiful day."
Shi Rao, who was sitting on the toilet seat, looked at the two-striped pregnancy test stick in his hand, and felt that God was teasing him.
