When Chu Qing was taking the pregnancy test, Qi Weichen was still in the laboratory. He rushed out after receiving her call. The seniors in the laboratory were all stunned. They obviously didn't expect that the academic genius could be so impulsive.
Qi Weichen was indeed so agitated that he couldn't even drive, so he finally chose to take a taxi home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Chu Qing sitting in the living room with a bitter face. His Adam's apple moved and he went over to hug her.
His heart, which had been beating violently just now, suddenly calmed down. His breathing gradually became steady, and after a while he said, "Don't be afraid."
“…I should be the one telling you this. Have you ever thought about how to explain this to my parents?” Chu Qing asked quietly.
Qi Weichen paused for a moment, then let go of her helplessly.
Chu Qing sighed sympathetically: "If they beat you up, remember to run, okay?"
Qi Weichen's Adam's apple moved, but he couldn't utter a word.
Qi Muyang's arrival was unexpected, but since he was here, there was no point in sending him away, so it was only a matter of time before he had to face his parents. Chu Qing hesitated for a long time, and finally called her parents: "Let's go back for dinner tonight."
"It's not a festival, why are you running back from school? Have you finished eating everything in the refrigerator?" Mom was puzzled.
My parents knew about their cohabitation a year ago. After giving them a few reminders, they didn't bother them anymore. Chu Qing paused for a moment and said, "I haven't finished eating yet. I just have something to tell you. I don't have classes until 4pm. We'll be home around 5pm."
"Okay, then. Come back. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go buy groceries this afternoon."
Chu Qing had made a mistake, so how could she dare to order any food? She quickly said that she didn't want to eat anything, hung up the phone in a hurry, and looked at Qi Weichen in front of her in silence.
After the room was silent for a long time, Qi Weichen said carefully: "Don't go to class this afternoon, let's go to the hospital."
"What do you want to do?" Chu Qing was startled and quickly covered her stomach.
Qi Weichen was helpless: "I'm checking your body, what do you think I want to do?"
Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said awkwardly: "I thought you didn't want this child..."
"How could that be? I miss him too," Qi Weichen said, pausing, "but he came too hastily, so we may have to make new plans."
"Let's take it one step at a time. Go get a check-up first, then go meet my parents, and we'll talk about the future later." After Chu Qing said this, she actively went to change her clothes.
Qi Weichen waited with a heavy heart, and after she had packed up, he took her to the hospital.
"The embryo is very healthy and is now about 20 days old. Pay attention to your diet, avoid strenuous activities in the first three months, and come for prenatal check-ups on time." the doctor advised.
Chu Qing looked at the photo in the medical report curiously: "Where is Qi Muyang? Why can't I see him?"
The doctor was stunned: "Who is Qi Muyang?"
"Our son." Qi Weichen replied.
The doctor understood and looked at them strangely: "It's just an embryo now, are you sure it's a son?"
"We are just guessing." Chu Qing said hurriedly.
The doctor ignored them and said: "It doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. I hope you can take it seriously."
“… Thank you, we got it.” Chu Qing knew that the doctor had misunderstood, so she didn’t know how to explain. She responded dryly and left with Qi Weichen.
Because they didn't go to class, it was only a little after three o'clock when they finished the examination. Chu Qing glanced at the time and said, "Let's go home directly."
"Let's go back to my house first. I'll get some things." Qi Weichen said slowly.
Chu Qing was puzzled: "What?"
Qi Weichen shook his head slightly and didn't tell her. Chu Qing's curiosity was aroused. She asked him all the way, but Qi Weichen kept his mouth shut. Chu Qing was so angry that she simply stopped asking. She thought she would see him when he took the things down, but she only saw him take a black bag and wrap the things inside tightly.
“… What on earth is in here?” Chu Qing felt itchy.
Qi Weichen silently stuffed the bag in his side: "You'll know in a moment."
Chu Qing curled her lips and had to suppress her curiosity and went back to Chu's house with him. When they got off the car, Qi Weichen was still carrying the bag.
The two of them took a detour and when they got home it was almost five o'clock. Dad hadn't gotten off work yet and Mom was putting on a facial mask at home. When she saw them she was startled: "I thought you wouldn't be here for another half an hour. I was just about to finish putting on the mask and go buy groceries."
“… We asked for leave.” Chu Qing answered honestly.
Her daughter has received scholarships for three consecutive years, and her mother doesn't think she is the type to skip classes without reason, especially with Qi Weichen, who has good grades. The mother took off the mask and asked worriedly, "Did something happen to you?"
"… It's not a big deal, it's just that you might not like it very much." Chu Qing said dryly.
Mom frowned, "What's going on?"
"Dad hasn't gotten off work yet, so go buy some groceries and I'll talk to him when he comes back." Chu Qing said as she pushed her mother out the door.
My mother was speechless: "Wait for me to wash my face, why are you in such a hurry!"
Chu Qing quickly let her go, and only breathed a sigh of relief after she washed her face and went out.
"If you're scared, leave first and I'll talk to them." Qi Weichen comforted.
Chu Qing refused without thinking: "No, what if I'm not here and they beat you up? Besides, this incident was not caused by you alone, so you shouldn't bear it alone."
Qi Weichen silently held her hand, trying to give her some strength. Chu Qing was indeed much calmer, sitting on the sofa with him and waiting patiently.
A few dozen minutes later, my parents returned home together. On the way, my mother apparently told my father about their return. As soon as my father entered the door, he asked, "What happened? Tell mom and dad quickly."
Chu Qing was very calm just now, but now she was a little panicked. She subconsciously pulled Qi Weichen to stand up and said dryly after a long while: "How about we talk after dinner? I'm afraid if I talk first, you won't have an appetite later."
“… We have even less appetite when you’re like this, so hurry up and tell me.” Mom urged silently.
Chu Qing looked at Qi Weichen in panic. Qi Weichen held her hand slightly harder and looked at his parents calmly: "She is pregnant."
Chu Qing: “…” So direct
Mom and Dad: “…” What, what did I hear
After a strange silence, my father asked in a trembling voice, "What kind of pregnancy?"
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "I'm sorry, it was my fault that she got pregnant with my child."
dad:"!!!"
"You can't blame him entirely for this! If you want to scold someone, just scold me, and don't hit him!" Chu Qing hurriedly stood in front of Qi Weichen, intending to help him block the attack.
Qi Weichen had the inappropriate thought of kissing her.
After my parents realized what was happening, my mom angrily asked, "Did I say I was going to beat him up?! Who are you showing this to?"
"… Isn't that just in case?" Chu Qing whispered.
Her mother glared at her, then looked at Qi Weichen and asked unhappily, "Is it confirmed?"
"Yes, it's confirmed. I went to the hospital this afternoon," Qi Weichen said, and handed her the medical report after taking it out of his bag. "Muyang is very healthy, and Qingqing is also in good health."
"Who is the shepherd?" Dad's mind was blank again.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "We named our child this."
When the father came to his senses, he was immediately furious: "You've just chosen a name after finding out you're pregnant?!"
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "I chose this name when I decided to be with Qingqing."
Dad was stunned: "You're thinking about getting married and having kids right after you got together?"
"Not only that, we've even thought about at what age we'll retire and start traveling around the world, and what kind of nursing home we'll go to when we're old." Qi Weichen answered honestly.
… Is his son-in-law thinking too far ahead? He is already this old, and he hasn't considered his old age. Dad muttered to himself, and continued to frown: "Even if you pick a name in advance, what's the use? Muyang, do you want your baby to herd sheep when he grows up?"
“… Dad, Mu Yang is the Mu of admiration and the Yang of sunshine, not the Muyang of sheepdog.” Chu Qing was speechless. She finally knew who she took after in the brain.
When Dad realized that he had misunderstood, he felt embarrassed and looked to Mom for help.
"You are thoughtful," the mother said, seeing how much he cherished his daughter. Her expression improved a lot, but she was still a little angry. "But this child came at the wrong time. Chu Qing was just about to apply for an exchange student, and now this child came. What should she do in the future?"
"The exchange student program is very important to her, so it's best not to change it. It should be fine to end the exchange a month in advance." Qi Weichen said carefully.
Mom frowned: "Isn't this too hard? Besides, you are going abroad and we can't take care of you. How can we feel at ease?"
"I will hire a housekeeper to take care of her. As for prenatal checkups, don't worry. The medical level abroad is still quite good." Qi Weichen said slowly, obviously having considered everything.
Chu Qing looked at him in surprise, not understanding how he could think of all this when he only found out about the pregnancy ten minutes later than she did.
Qi Weichen had a convincing power. His parents, who were still worried, suddenly became less upset after hearing his confident words. The family was silent for a while, and his mother frowned and said, "You will have summer vacation in a week. Ask your parents to come over, and we will have a meal together and discuss the marriage."
"Get married?" Chu Qing was shocked.
When her mother saw her behavior, she wanted to beat her, but thinking of her current physical condition, she held back and said with gritted teeth, "You will be leaving the country in two months, and will not come back until you give birth. Of course you have to get married during this summer vacation. Otherwise, when you give birth, whose household registration are you going to put the child under?"
Chu Qing hadn't thought about these things, and was shocked for a moment. She only thought about giving birth to the child, but forgot that there is usually a process before giving birth, which is marriage.
Qi Weichen saw that she looked frightened, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Don't you want to get married now?"
"No, it's not that I don't want to, I just think it's a bit too fast." Chu Qing said innocently.
Qi Weichen's eyes softened a little: "It's a bit fast, but in order to prevent others from saying nonsense and to make my parents look good, we should just have a simple wedding first, and then have a proper wedding after you give birth."
Chu Qing nodded hesitantly: "Then it's settled. We'll start preparing after the exam."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, just go ahead. I don't want to see you for the time being." Mom said worriedly.
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little sad.
Dad frowned and said, "Why don't we let them finish their meal before leaving?"
"What are you eating!" Mom was immediately furious. "You didn't tell me you were pregnant earlier. I bought you a bunch of seafood. What if something happens to you after eating it? Go back and eat. Remember to eat something nutritious. Don't just eat takeout!"
When Chu Qing heard this, she realized that they were not sending her away because they hated her, but because the prepared ingredients were not right. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and agreed with a smile.
Her mother looked at her with both anger and amusement, as if she had no way to deal with this daughter. Her father couldn't help but laugh beside her, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious.
"Uncle and aunt, I have something for you." Qi Weichen said suddenly.
The three members of the Chu family immediately looked at him, only to see him put the black bag he had been holding on the table and pour out several property deeds and bank cards. When Chu Qing saw what he was curious about, he was puzzled: "What are you doing with these?"
"I want to make uncle and aunt feel more at ease. These are all my belongings. It would be troublesome to transfer them directly to Qingqing, but I am willing to add her name and do a notarization. If we are not destined to be together in the future, I will give all these to her." Qi Weichen said seriously.
After being stunned for a moment, my parents were suddenly moved, but Chu Qing was quite calm.
"You kid... We don't want anything from you. Just take all these. It's enough for auntie to know your feelings. Chu Qing is just like auntie, who doesn't value money." Mom quickly refused.
Dad nodded and said, "Yes, you can take it back. We are simple people and we are not materialistic..."
"Are you really giving it to me?" Chu Qing interrupted her father with sparkling eyes.
A hint of smile flashed across Qi Weichen's eyes: "They're all yours."
"Wow, then I'm so rich!" Chu Qing happily packed the things back into the bag and held it in her arms, refusing to let go.
The parents who just said that their daughter doesn’t value money: “…”
"It would be a waste if you don't want it." Chu Qing laughed.
My mother was so upset that she kicked him out. When the two of them walked into the elevator hand in hand, Chu Qing snorted, "You are such a scheming person. You knew that I couldn't possibly break up with you, but you still lied about giving me everything if we break up."
"As long as we don't separate, I am yours too." Qi Weichen said gently.
Chu Qing was satisfied then, and left happily taking his arm.
Soon it was summer vacation, and the parents of both sides met together. In the past few years, Qi Weichen's relationship with his parents had eased a lot, and Chu Qing had seen his parents a lot, so she was quite familiar with them. A lot of things happened in the past few years. Qi's parents originally had their own families, but they were single again. The relationship between the two was much more harmonious than before, and there seemed to be signs of remarriage.
Chu Qing secretly asked Mother Qi about this, and Mother Qi was very disdainful: "I won't eat something like the grass that turns back."
"Sometimes the love you give back to her can be quite sweet." Chu Qing said seriously, not to persuade the two elders to get back together. After all, strictly speaking, Qi Weichen could be considered the love she gave back to her.
Mother Qi just smiled and expressed her determination to stay single. Chu Qing did not persuade her. After the four elders met, they discussed the wedding. Chu Qing originally wanted to do it simply, but Mother Qi decisively booked the best hotel and the best wedding planner in City A and held a grand wedding for them.
As one of the protagonists, Chu Qing was a hands-off boss because of her physical condition. Apart from picking out the wedding dress and suit, she didn't care about anything else and just showed up at the wedding. She originally thought that the wedding was just a formality, but when her father handed her over to Qi Weichen, she suddenly couldn't help crying.
The wedding was suspended for half an hour because the heroine burst into tears. In the end, Qi Weichen held Chu Qing's hand and her eyes were red with tears. After being moved, Chu Qing thought of her performance at the wedding and felt as if she was embarrassed. Fortunately, everyone took care of the pregnant woman's mood and coaxed her to say a lot of nice things, so she felt better.
The exchange student matter was arranged during the summer vacation. In the middle of the vacation, Chu Qing and Qi Weichen went to the school and took a lazily walk around the school.
"If someone had told me a few years ago that I could not only get into University A, but also receive a three-year scholarship here and eventually study abroad on behalf of University A, I would have thought that person was a charlatan." Chu Qing was in a good mood.
Qi Weichen held her hand: "You have always been well."
"You are the only one who can always see the good in me. Sometimes I can't even see it myself." Chu Qing laughed.
Qi Weichen looked at her tenderly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a chattering sound. They both looked over at the same time and saw several junior fellow students walking towards them with a group of unfamiliar faces.
"Hello, seniors." The younger students greeted them warmly.
Chu Qing smiled and waved: "What are you doing?"
"Isn't this the leader's request to bring the kids who are interested in applying to our school to visit the school?" a junior student said with a smile.
Chu Qing suddenly realized and was about to ask them to leave when another junior immediately introduced them to the other kids: "Juniors, let me introduce to you all, this is our senior Chu Qing and her boyfriend, senior Qi Weichen... No, strictly speaking, they are already married, they are husband and wife."
There was an immediate burst of exclamations from the crowd, and some students were curious: "Have you graduated yet?"
"Graduate next year." Chu Qing replied with a smile.
Everyone sighed again, and the junior student said proudly: "The seniors are the model couple of our school. They are loyal to each other and have good grades. They will go abroad for exchange soon. You may not know that senior Qi Weichen was the top scorer in his college entrance examination. The top scorer applied to our school, which shows that our school's core competitiveness is still very strong. When you apply for admission, remember to put University A as your first choice."
These students had just taken the college entrance examination, and they were immediately amazed when they heard this. Chu Qing thought their surprised expressions were very funny, and when she saw that the younger student was still trying to flatter her, she hurriedly stopped him, saying, "That's enough, go visit somewhere else."
"Okay then, let's go, senior sister." After saying this, the junior led a group of people forward.
Chu Qing smiled and made way for them. Suddenly, she noticed a familiar face. She was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Master... Zhao Zihan?"
Behind the crowd, a girl with a ponytail and no makeup on was stunned and looked at her in confusion: "Senior sister, do you know me?"
Chu Qing opened her mouth in surprise, laughed for a long while, then suddenly stopped, coughed and said, "No, I don't really know you. I seem to have seen you before and heard someone call your name." She guessed that since the head teacher went to Chengde to be a teacher, his home was probably in City A, so she just said it casually.
"Is it such a coincidence?" The girl laughed immediately, vaguely recalling the shadow of more than 20 years later.
Chu Qing looked at her immature appearance, and suddenly felt sad. She forced a smile and asked, "Do you want to apply to University A?"
"Yes, I am sure I will apply here." The girl looked determined.
Chu Qing nodded: "Have you thought about what major to study?"
"Education, I want to teach and educate people, and become a great people's teacher in the future to cultivate talents for the country." If someone else said this, it would sound a bit false and empty, but when it came out of her mouth, it made people inexplicably moved.
Chu Qing chuckled: "I believe in you, you will become a very great teacher in the future."
"Really?" The girl suddenly felt shy after being so sure about her.
Chu Qing smiled with her eyes curved: "Really, you will do well in everything from teaching to educating people. Come on, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, please stick to it, because in the distant future, there will be a group of good children who need your care."
"Yeah!" The girl nodded seriously.
After everyone separated, the senior who was leading the students to visit the school asked curiously, "Zhao Zihan, are you familiar with Senior Chu Qing?"
“… I don’t know her, but I think she’s very friendly.” The girl smiled shyly.
The senior student was puzzled: "But I felt that the tone of her voice was as if she knew you."
"Maybe the senior is pregnant, and when she heard Zhao Zihan say she wanted to be a teacher, she thought of her own child." said another boy who was more familiar with Chu Qing.
The girl was immediately surprised: "Is Senior Chu Qing pregnant?"
"Well, the baby should be born next year. I heard that they named the child when they were together, but we don't know what it's called." The boy said with a smile.
The girl looked back at the backs of Chu Qing and the other person as they walked away, and said sincerely, "That's great. I hope they can be happy and have a healthy and happy baby."
The author has something to say: Mu Yangzi: You may not believe it, but I am not only healthy and happy, but also very naughty.
There's another one in the evening
