Huo Rulan rubbed his stomach and frowned.
His expression was serious, as if he was going to take him to the hospital in the next second.
Ye Xi quickly patted his hand and said, “I don’t have a stomachache, I just … just.”
Ye Xi blushed and didn’t speak for a long time.
Huo Rulan squatted in front of him and looked at him: “Just what?”
Facing Huo Rulan’s puzzled eyes, Ye Xi broke his silence, closed his eyes and said loudly, “I just want to eat some more …”
After that, he was so shy that he moved his ass in a different direction.
Huo Rulan didn’t react.
When he came to his senses, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall.
Ten minutes after Ye Xi finished breakfast …
Huo Rulan can’t believe it. Is there such a big difference in food intake between the pregnant husband four months ago and four months later?
This kind of question should be asked by the doctor.
Huo Rulan carried Ye Xi to the sofa, covered him with a blanket and put fruit in front of him, and went to the balcony to call the old doctor himself.
He lowered his voice so that Ye Xi wouldn’t hear him: “Dr. Liu, my wife seems to have eaten a little too much now. Is this … is this ok?”
Dr. Liu: “The amount of food a pregnant husband eats is uncertain. Sometimes he eats more and sometimes he eats less.”
Dr. Liu: “It’s good if he can eat, but don’t eat too much. It’s not good if the children are too big.”
Dr. Liu: “As you said, he has already eaten two bowls of breakfast, so don’t let him eat too much. Just give him some fruit. As for what he said, he still wants to eat. You should be firm and not give him food.”
Huo Rulan expressed his understanding and hung up the phone only after asking other questions.
When he got back to the sofa and sat down, he saw Ye Xi with wet eyes and wet eyelashes.
Huo Rulan thought he heard him calling the doctor, and felt that this move made him sad.
He hurriedly hug Ye Xi, put him in his arms holding:
“Stop crying, stop crying. I don’t blame you for eating too much. I just see that your appetite is different from before, so I want to go to the doctor to ask about the situation.”
Huo Rulan: “We’ll eat at noon. How about some fruit first?”
Huo Rulan: “What would you like to eat at noon? I asked the housekeeper to buy ingredients. ”
Ye Xi looked up from Huo Rulan’s arms with red eyes and gave him a strange look. What are you talking about?
Ye Xi took out his tablet, looked at Huo Rulan and said, “I’m not crying, I’m just watching a TV series.”
He pursed his lips shyly. “… I think I ate too much, too.”
Huo Rulan looked at the tablet in front of him, not knowing what to say.
He thought Ye Xi was sad because he ate too much. He didn’t expect him to be sad because of something else … watching TV and crying.
He moved his lips and asked him with some difficulty and pretending to be normal: “… isn’t this play finished?”
Yes, it’s the last time he saw the dog blood love drama in which the man and the woman were forced to separate because of love and hate.
Speaking of this Ye Xi is not shy, he began to cry again.
He put the tablet next to Huo Rulan. Ye Xi leaned on Huo Rulan’s shoulder and explained to him, “… this is the second part. I know you like it, too. Let’s watch it together.”
….. No, I don’t like it.
Huo Rulan looked at the tablet with a straight face, then looked away with a straight face, and leaned back on the sofa where Ye Xi could not see, thinking about life.
If you love him, you must accompany him to watch the dog blood love drama.
***
Except for feeding Ye Xi and drinking pregnant women’s milk in the middle, Huo Rulan just kept leaning on the sofa and squinting his eyes, almost falling asleep in a daze, barely staying awake.
It wasn’t until the housekeeper came to call them to have lunch that Huo Rulan completely recovered. He wiped away Ye Xi’s tears, coaxed him in a low voice, and held his waist to have lunch.
Lunch is vinegared cabbage, egg custard, boiled shrimp, fried zucchini and meat, and the soup is wakame, egg and tofu soup.
Huo Rulan first scooped a bowl of soup for him to warm his stomach.
Ye Xi liked the wakame, egg and tofu soup very much, like a child. After drinking it, he squinted his eyes and secretly raised his feet with joy.
Huo Rulan was amused by him and put on his gloves to peel shrimps for him.
Ye Xi stopped him: “Let’s eat first, it will get cold later.”
Huo Rulan didn’t care either. He picked up a shrimp, peeled it and put it into an empty bowl in front of Ye Xi.
“I’m not in a hurry, you eat.”
He peeled another one and put it in his bowl. Seeing that he still didn’t eat it, Huo Rulan tapped the table and said, “Eat it quickly, it will be cold in a while.”
Ye Xi looked at the peeled shrimps in front of him, turned to Huo Rulan and said, “Thank you.”
Huo Rulan peeled off a shrimp, dipped it in some soy sauce, and fed it into Ye Xi’s mouth: “Don’t talk about it anymore, I’m your husband.”
Ye Xi’s face turned red with embarrassment, but his heart felt sour and soft. His eyes felt hot and some tears came out, but Ye Xi quickly blinked them away.
He picked up a shrimp, dipped it in soy sauce, and fed it to Huo Rulan.
Huo Rulan lowered his head and ate it in one bite.
Huo Rulan focused on peeling shrimps for Ye Xi, and Ye Xi took a bite with a spoon, and then fed Huo Rulan another bite.
By the time Huo Rulan finished peeling all the shrimps, he was half full.
Huo Rulan pushed the bowl filled with shrimps towards Ye Xi: “You eat first, don’t wait for me.”
After saying that, he stood up and took the cold dishes into the kitchen.
First, soak the pregnant husband’s milk, put it in an incubator, and then heat the dishes in the microwave oven.
Take the food out when it’s hot, and then go back and get the milk and put it next to Ye Xi.
“Drink it later after eating.”
Ye Xi nodded and took a big mouthful of rice.
Huo Rulan smiled lowly, stretched out his hand to take off the rice grains from the corner of his mouth, and ate it herself.
Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, his ears slowly turned crimson, he lowered his head to eat and secretly pinched Huo Rulan’s waist.
Huo Rulan raised his eyebrows and said in a lazy tone: “Baby, don’t pinch a man’s waist, otherwise something big will happen~”
Ye Xi’s neck is red, pretending not to hear.
Huo Rulan chuckled and pinched the back of Ye Xi’s neck. Ye Xi felt numb and shook his head to shake his hand away.
Huo Rulan followed his movements and let his hands hang lazily on his shoulders.
While eating, he pinched his face. It was so soft and smooth that Huo Rulan couldn’t put it down.
Huo Rulan was not serious, so Ye Xi ran to sit opposite him after eating.
He held his chin up and watched Huo Rulan eat. Huo Rulan brought the milk to him again and raised his chin.
Ye Xi held the milk and took a sip.
He asked Huo Rulan: “Didn’t you say I would drink later after eating?”
Huo Rulan looked at him and smiled.
“I don’t know who it was, but he started to feel sleepy as soon as he finished eating. I’m afraid that someone will drift off and fall asleep later.”
Ye Xi felt embarrassed when he heard this, lowered his head and drank the milk obediently.
As expected by Huo Rulan, Ye Xi started to feel sleepy not long after. He yawned and tears filled his eyes. Ye Xi rubbed his eyes.
As soon as Huo Rulan brought the bowl into the kitchen and came out, someone bumped into his arms and he crawled into his arms softly.
He was still grunting and asking Huo Rulan to hug him.
Huo Rulan had no choice but to pick him up with one hand, holding his little buttocks with his arms so that Ye Xi could lie on his shoulders.
The other free hand held Ye Xi’s tablet and his mobile phone.
Carrying him upstairs and gently placing him on the bed, Ye Xi snorted twice, turned over, yawned again, and opened his eyes slightly.
Huo Rulan also lay down and patted his back. Ye Xi got into his arms, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Huo Rulan was also sleepy. He covered both of them with quilts, hugged Ye Xi and closed his eyes.
Ye Xi had an uneasy sleep this time. He dreamed about what happened in his previous life.
The dream was about his childhood. His parents were very strict with him. Because he didn’t get full marks in the exam, his mother hit him on the back with a clothes hanger. His father was sitting on the sofa smoking and scolding him, saying that he didn’t live up to expectations.
Ye Xi seemed like a bystander, trying to block the falling clothes hanger for the boy, but couldn’t move. He could only stand there, watching expressionlessly, tears slowly overflowing.
The scene changed, it was when he was just diagnosed with cancer and was in the hospital.
It was almost the college entrance examination at that time. He collapsed in his seat and was taken to the hospital by his teacher, but he was found to have terminal cancer.
Ye Xi held his belly, looking at the needles on the hospital bed, looking out the window at the boy with a delicate and beautiful face. Outside the door were his parents quarreling.
In the end, they decided to give up their son because he was in an advanced stage and the medical expenses were expensive. Their family really couldn’t afford so much money, and they also had a young son to take care of.
Ye Xi didn’t blame them. His family was indeed not rich. After his death, he still had a younger brother at home.
He calmly accepted the reality and quietly waited for death.
But he was lucky. Someone donated money to him and paid for his treatment.
Although chemotherapy was very painful, he persisted because he wanted to live.
It was a pity that fate did not favor him. He closed his eyes amidst the harsh sound of the electrocardiograph, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
He told himself in his heart that there was nothing to be sad about. He just regretted that he could not thank the kind person in person, and also regretted that he died young…
*
Huo Rulan was woken up by Ye Xi’s cry. He opened his eyes suddenly, and Ye Xi in his arms burst into tears.
It seemed like he was dreaming, but he didn’t know what he was dreaming about, and why he was crying so sadly.
Huo Rulan picked him up and gently called into his ear, his voice filled with anxiety.
Patting his back gently, “Ye Xi, Ye Xi, don’t be afraid. I’m here, don’t be afraid…”
Ye Xi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes dim with tears. He couldn’t see the face of the person in front of him clearly, but he knew it must be Huo Rulan.
Ye Xi’s tears fell even more fiercely. He clutched Huo Rulan’s clothes and cried in his arms until he couldn’t breathe and cried until he retched.
His eyes were hot and tears couldn’t help but overflow. He stood up and walked back and forth with Ye Xi in his arms, patiently coaxing him and constantly soothing his emotions.
Ye Xi couldn’t help but shed tears. He suddenly frowned and tugged at Huo Rulan’s clothes, his voice trembling: “Huo Rulan… my belly…”
Huo Rulan felt like his heart had been hit hard, and his whole body went blank.
He pulled the blanket over Ye Xi in a panic, hugged him and rushed downstairs, and drove to the hospital in a panic.
Ye Xi noticed that his mood was unstable. He held Huo Rulan’s hand and asked Huo Rulan to calm down and drive well with a pale face.
Huo Rulan took a deep breath and drove steadily but quickly. He called the hospital and explained the situation in a calm tone.
Huo Rulan comforted Ye Xi softly along the way, but it was only from the hand holding the steering wheel that he could tell that he was not as calm as he appeared.
As soon as Ye Xi arrived at the hospital entrance, he was put on a stretcher and pushed to the emergency room.
Huo Rulan ran along with him, tears falling down his cheeks.
Ye Xi shook his hand with a pale face, his eyes full of apology, and he opened his mouth and said silently “I’m sorry.”
Ye Xi was pushed into the emergency room, and Huo Rulan was stopped at the door of the operating room.
Watching the door of the emergency room being closed, Huo Rulan finally couldn’t hold on any longer and slid down the wall and fell to the ground.
He was wearing pajamas, his hair was messy, his face was stained with tears, and he looked very embarrassed.
