Pei Shi had a lot of things to do before the IPO. He thought he would have some free time after the IPO and would be able to spend more time with Bai Tao. Unexpectedly, he became even busier - when a company goes public, there will always be banquets and social events. With partners, investors and clients taking turns to attend, Pei Shi's social events are scheduled until next Sunday.
Although he explained the situation to Bai Tao sincerely and Pei would stop by Huadian to buy her a bouquet of flowers every time he returned home from a social event, the pregnant woman was still not satisfied.
At 9:40 that evening, Pei Shi was refused entry as expected because he was ten minutes past the agreed curfew.
"Answer the questions! If you don't answer them, you can't come in!"
Bai Tao didn't recover her memory, but she learned everything Pei Shi had said to her before. She bought a feather duster from somewhere and stood at the door, pacing back and forth with her slightly bulging belly.
The door was open and there was a home, but the White Peach Buddha was still standing at the door, like a lone man blocking a pass against ten thousand. For the first time, Pei Shi felt the desolation of having a home but not being able to return.
He took out the flowers and said, "Bai Tao, I bought some flowers. Can I go in and put them in there first?"
Bai Tao glared: "Hua can come in, you continue to stand."
"… "
Bai Tao's morning sickness has gradually subsided in the past few days, but it has been followed by sleep problems. Her belly has gradually grown bigger, and she always feels uncomfortable when sleeping. Bai Tao often turns over and over. She is obviously very sleepy, but she just tosses and turns.
Pei Fei had some friends from abroad visiting her these two days, so she went to receive them. Pei Shi was busy hosting a banquet, Song Yan was on vacation, and even Sun Jing was too busy with her love life to pay attention to her. Bai Tao suddenly became a lonely person, and felt very aggrieved because of the loneliness.
Pei Shi was quite calm, not afraid at all, and started to dig up the past: "Didn't you promise to treat me well in the future? In the end, you kicked me out and asked me to answer questions."
Bai Tao thought for a moment, cleared his throat, and said sincerely: "As long as you abide by the socialist male ethics, I will treat you well! The question must be answered!"
Pei Shi felt somewhat helpless, but he finally clicked on the link to answer the questions. He had originally expected that there would be about a hundred questions, but after actually clicking on it, he laughed.
Bai Tao only gave him one question—
"Choose the most beautiful woman in the world."
Pei Shi almost laughed out loud: "I know this question. It's my wife Bai Tao."
Bai Tao didn't really want to embarrass Pei Shi, but she felt a little aggrieved and wanted to make a scene. Seeing Pei Shi calm down, she just pretended to say, "You got the answer right. Congratulations! You can come in now!"
But just after she finished speaking, Bai Tao was stunned. She looked at Pei Shi nervously: "Pei, Pei Shi, my stomach, my stomach..."
Pei Shi was frightened by her appearance. He didn't even care about the flowers and supported Bai Tao: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
"No, it's not." Bai Tao was stunned for a long time, and then she regained her composure. She looked at Pei Shi with sparkling eyes, "I'm fine, it's just that the baby kicked my leg in my belly just now! This is the first fetal movement!"
Pei Shi was also surprised: "Really?"
He helped Bai Tao sit on the sofa, then carefully laid down in front of Bai Tao's belly and said gently, "Baby, it's Daddy, can you hear me?"
I don't know if the baby in my belly really heard it, or maybe it was just a coincidence. As soon as Pei Shi finished speaking, Bai Tao felt the obvious fetal movement: "It's moving! It's really moving!"
The two prospective parents were experiencing this for the first time. Bai Tao was so excited that she was at a loss. Even Pei Shi, who was usually calm, had a look of surprise and disbelief on his face.
Love is a miracle, and so is life.
Bai Tao became a mother for the first time and experienced many firsts in her life, including fatigue, drowsiness, endocrine disorders, acne, morning sickness, and insomnia. Some of them were not so pleasant and often made her panic, but there were many more firsts that made Bai Tao feel that it was all worth it.
The joy Pei Shi felt when he first knew she was pregnant, the emotion they felt when they first heard the baby's heartbeat, and the wonder they felt now when they shared the first fetal movement together.
All these first times, ordinary and trivial, make up unforgettable memories.
Although Bai Tao can't remember many things from the past five years, it seems interesting to create more memories to fill the gaps in the past.
Although the little guy was probably tired and rested after these two fetal movements and stopped making noises, Pei Shi still insisted. He excitedly leaned against Bai Tao's belly and chatted with the little guy for a while without any response.
"Baby, I'm sorry I've been coming home late lately. Starting tomorrow I won't be working overtime or attending social events. I'll be home early to be with you and mom."
Pei Shi said so, Bai Tao felt that there was nothing to make a fuss about, and instead felt a little embarrassed: "Forget it, you are working overtime for the milk powder money, which is understandable, but coming home so late for several days in a row is not a healthy schedule, and it is not good for your health. Don't be so tired in the future."
"Although having a child is like raising a four-legged money-spending beast, it doesn't require you to work so hard. From now on, both of you can just follow me! Now that my reputation has been cleared up and I'm very popular, it won't be a problem for me to make money by drawing comics to support my family. It doesn't matter if the industry suddenly goes down in the future. I..."
Pei Shi interrupted Bai Tao with a smile: "Why? The industry is in recession, are you picking up garbage to support us?"
Bai Tao laughed and said jokingly: "No, I can only take the risk of drawing pornographic comics to support you!"
"… "
Bai Tao is a cartoonist after all, and is really good at imagining things. When she said this, she looked at Pei Shi, and her eyes suddenly became tearful as she acted: "If I go in, will you come to see me every week?"
“… It’s better not to draw pornographic comics. Breaking the law is not acceptable.”
Pei Shi felt that he couldn't let Bai Tao idle. He thought for a moment and said, "Now that I'm in the second trimester, the doctor said I can do some exercise."
That night, Bai Tao finally understood the true meaning of proper exercise.
Garbage Pei Shi is garbage Pei Shi.
Bai Tao felt that she shouldn't be soft-hearted! She should let him read and recite the Complete Book of Male Virtues!
