âNo,â Lu Xingzhi answered very seriously. âIâm big. Iâm afraid Iâll crush you. Youâre injured.â
âYou wonât.â
Jiang Yao shook her head. âThe hospital bed is quite big.â
It was the truth. The hospital bed was very big, quite different from the usual ones. It had more than enough space for two people to sleep.
âI want you to hug me while I sleep.â
Jiang Yao winked at Lu Xingzhi. Then, she gently patted the empty seat next to her and urged him. âHurry up.â
Lu Xingzhi, who was ready to lie down on the sofa, finally walked toward her. He took off his shoes and laid down in the space she had vacated. He reached out and took her in his embrace. âGo to sleep. They will wake you for more medicine in the afternoon. â
Jiang Yao curled her lips. She was clear about her physical condition. Just as the doctor had said, she would be in recovery for a period.
She was lucky. She was in a plane crash. One person died on the spot while another was in a vegetative state, but she was fine.
After Lu Xingzhi laid down, Jiang Yao pressed herself against his chest. She could not help but let out a soft sigh. âI told you that the bed is big. Itâs more than enough for us to sleep in. Next time Iâm hospitalized, Iâll just stay here! â
After saying that, she received a gentle slap on her forehead. âThere wonât be a next time!â
Jiang Yao rubbed the spot where she had been hit. She mumbled and defended herself. âDonât I have to be hospitalized when I give birth? Then why canât I just come to this hospital to give birth? Why is there no next time? Next time, in the future, when I give birth to even more children, Iâll stay in this hospital! Iâll stay in this room! Hmm! If you donât let me stay in this room, then I wonât give birth!â
Her little temper tantrum caused Lu Xingzhi to be stunned for a long time before he snapped back to his senses.
Lu Xingzhi did not say anything else. He just gently rubbed the top of her hair.
Jiang Yaoâs mood sank when he remained silent.
Why did he not react when she talked about giving birth?
Why was he so calm?
She had said that just to make him happy, but in the end, he did not even smile.
Jiang Yao pushed Lu Xingzhi. âTell me, have I become ugly?â
Jiang Yao looked fearful, and her eyes were filled with tears. âHave I become so ugly that you donât want to look at me anymore? Have I become so ugly that you donât want to have a baby with me anymore?â
Lu Xingzhiâs mind wandered for a few seconds, and when he turned around, he saw Jiang Yaoâs expression as if she was about to cry.
He immediately panicked. âNo, donât let your imagination run wild. Youâre fine. If you donât believe me, see for yourself. Thereâs not even a single wound. â
Of course, Jiang Yao knew there was no wound on her face, but she pretended not to know. She did not want Lu Xingzhi to think about something she did not know.
âThen why arenât you happy when I said that I wanted to have a child?â Jiang Yao asked.
âIâm not unhappy.â
He was afraid that he could not protect the child and her. He was a little hesitant. Was it a good idea to have a child so early?
âIf youâre not unhappy, then why arenât you smiling?â
Jiang Yao reached out and tugged at the corner of Lu Xingzhiâs mouth. âCome, show your wife a smile!â
When he was still frowning, Jiang Yao let go and sighed. âI know what youâre afraid of, but Xingzhi, you shouldnât be like this. You never retreat. You are an eagle that will always rise to the challenge. I believe that you can always protect our child and me⦠I look forward to having a child with you, and I hope that you look forward to it as much as I do.
