Chapter 37

The eruption of overly strong emotions is very draining, so much so that Ruan Shengyi was only awakened by the noisy sounds in the corridor the next day when the sun was high in the sky.

She sat up, still a bit disoriented.

Everything that happened in the early hours of the morning was too bizarre, like a dream. In the dream, it seemed like many people were talking to her, talking about love and hate, about suffering and pain, but in the end, they all converged into one person, transforming into one figure.

It was this person lying on the other bed.

Ruan Shengyi raised her hand and touched the corner of her lips. It seemed that it was from here that the cool hands had gradually caressed upward, wiping away all her tears and removing the glimmers of tears from her eyes.

She had watched Xiao Wenyu fall asleep, watched her sink into a serene stillness under the moonlight, and then she had drawn the curtains and dazedly found an empty bed to lie down on.

So, a night had passed.

She simply tidied her clothes, slowed her movements, and gently pulled open the curtain.

It seemed that she wasn’t the only one who had been drained last night. Xiao Wenyu was still in a deep sleep, her tied-up hair a bit disheveled, her head slightly tilted to one side, revealing the other half of her fair and vulnerable neck.

Such a gesture easily aroused a person’s desire to protect, so fragile, so beautiful.

Ruan Shengyi sat on the small round stool beside the bed, silently watching her.

Xiao Wenyu, why can you always see right through me?

Because of you, I can’t even give you the cold shoulder, or even be a little bit cold towards you.

This familiar feeling of losing control appeared time and time again between her and the person before her, yet she willingly indulged in it, so angry that she was still willing to stay and accompany her for a night.

Now that the sun was out, reason had returned.

With reason back, the anger she had suppressed for so long finally triumphed over the surging emotions in her heart, becoming the main theme of her thoughts once again.

…Forget it.

Ruan Shengyi sighed.

She couldn’t bring herself to be angry with Xiao Wenyu anymore.

She took out her phone. The message she had sent last night had a response, and it vibrated twice more, urging her to retrieve it.

It wasn’t anything special. It was just that she had told the employee working the day shift at the bar to get her some breakfast, bring two sets of clothes to change into, and some things that could quickly replenish her energy.

She hadn’t had time to search for more information, so she could only roughly prepare based on what Huang Zhiqi had told her last night.

Now that she had calmed down, she searched online and quickly downloaded an app with relevant information, looking at it while walking.

But this app required too much information to be filled in. Before she could see anything, she needed to fill in the expected date of delivery to calculate the gestational week, but how would she know Xiao Wenyu’s expected date of delivery?

She looked at it for a while and simply closed the screen, planning to ask Xiao Wenyu later, and just then, she arrived at the door of the ward.

Ruan Shengyi put her phone away, pushed open the door, and a figure quickly rushed over, hugging her tightly. She hurriedly raised her hands to steady the person, to prevent both of them from losing their balance and falling.

Her heart softened a lot.

Xiao Wenyu’s voice trembled slightly, saying, “I thought you had left.”

Even the arms hugging her were trembling.

Ruan Shengyi’s heart softened even more. The string she had been holding taut all the way here relaxed a lot, and her heart gradually quickened its pace. She gently returned the embrace, and said softly, “I went to get breakfast. How long have you been awake?”

“Just woke up…”

Xiao Wenyu belatedly felt a little ashamed. As she sat back on the bed, her cheeks flushed red from her earlobes to the depths of her neck.

But the other person didn’t look at her again, nor did she comment on the previous behavior. She just silently pulled out the small table, set out breakfast for the two of them, and then removed the curtains that were blocking the sunlight, allowing the warm light of the morning sun to fill the room with warmth.

The warm light shone, and the redness in the depths of her neck gradually faded a little.

Ruan Shengyi said in a low voice, “I asked last night, you can eat. After eating, you can do some tests…”

Now that she had calmed down, her voice returned to its usual clear and bright tone, like the sound of pine trees in the wind. The clear sound always had a magical power that put people at ease.

She used this reassuring magic to relay everything that Doctor Huang had told her yesterday, even without avoiding the matter of the phone wallpaper, so Xiao Wenyu felt even less confident.

Finally, Boss Ruan said with great integrity, “So, I’m watching you, eat.”

“At the same time, you promised me that you would try to love yourself, I’m watching you.”

Boss Xiao rarely found herself at a disadvantage, took the chopsticks, and looked at the food that wasn’t greasy…

Her appetite was pretty good.

Boss Ruan was her regulator, always able to empty out those depressed feelings, allowing her to eat and sleep well. But she didn’t plan to tell Ruan Shengyi now. She wanted to accumulate and accumulate, and then praise this person a lot, praise this person fiercely.

She would also wait until their relationship was more relaxed, so she could praise her more earnestly, without having to avoid anything.

Xiao Wenyu picked up some vegetables, her voice softening, “Then, the wallpaper…”

“I’ve seen it.” Someone said matter-of-factly, “I secretly looked at it when you were asleep last night.”

Someone insisted on making “secretly” sound so righteous, making Xiao Wenyu a little suspicious that she had hidden it too deeply, and shouldn’t have done so.

She coughed twice, clenching her chopsticks, “If you don’t like it, I can change it.”

“No.” Ruan Shengyi refused, “I like it quite a bit, keep it.”

“Looking at beautiful women every day will help the baby grow into a cold and beautiful woman like me, instead of being led by some black-hearted bad person, racking her brains to plot against beautiful women every day.” She happened to have peeled an egg, and handed it to Xiao Wenyu, who had just choked on a few bites of vegetables, and said in a deep voice, “Eat this too.”

Xiao Wenyu took a sip of water, and then came back to her senses, looking at Ruan Shengyi in surprise.

Why did this person seem like a different person today, so confident, so headstrong?

But she still wanted to refute, she tried to refute, “I don’t plot against beautiful women every day.”

“Mm.”

What the hell was “mm”??

Someone raised the corners of her lips, “Pretty good-looking.”

She gave her praise grudgingly, “As expected of you.”

Xiao Wenyu: …What exactly is wrong with this person?

Ruan Shengyi: “I asked someone to send two sets of clothes over. You can change into them later. I’m taller than you, so the skirt should be a little long.”

She paused and said, “Don’t laugh.”

This was Xiao Wenyu’s area of expertise. She smiled gently and said, “How could I dislike it? Boss Ruan’s clothes are all good-looking.”

Ruan Shengyi: “Mm.”

Xiao Wenyu: What does “mm” even mean? This was the first time in her life that she had encountered someone who had become a blockhead after such a large emotional fluctuation. Could it be that the fluctuation had made her stupid?!

Ruan Shengyi lazily raised her eyes and glanced over, then raised the corners of her lips again: “Send me a copy of the original photo, and only send it to me.”

Xiao Wenyu: “Okay, is there anything else?”

Ruan Shengyi: “What else?”

Was there anything more fun than finally being able to pull a long face in front of Xiao Wenyu?

She was determined to regain her initiative. This time, she must firmly grasp the progress in her own hands and absolutely not let Xiao Wenyu lead her astray!

Silence and coldness continued until Ruan Shengyi sent Xiao Wenyu into the ultrasound room.

She was finally unable to hold back, smiling silently with her back to the door of the ultrasound room, when suddenly, Xiao Wenyu’s voice calling her came from behind.

“Click.” A crisp sound.

Xiao Wenyu leaned on the door frame, and asked in confusion, “What’s that sound?”

Ruan Shengyi supported her jaw, which was almost dislocated, and said in a deep voice, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Wenyu curved her eyebrows and smiled lightly, “The doctor said that if you want, you can take a look with me.”

*

Ruan Shengyi’s clothes weren’t as warm and sunny as Xiao Wenyu usually wore, always khaki or warm brown. Her clothes were much colder. The two-piece long dress she gave to Xiao Wenyu was a very cold black and white color scheme.

However, trapped in the white hospital bed, it wasn’t so obvious, but instead made the person lying down even paler.

Ruan Shengyi clenched her fist, shifted her gaze away from the person, and tried to maintain a peaceful mindset to look at the screen on the instrument.

In order to make it easier, the hospital had placed another screen behind the bed. In the center of the black and white screen, the little girl was shaking.

It was melting the hearts of those who saw it.

Ruan Shengyi silently lowered her hand, gently grasped the other person’s somewhat uneasy hand, a surprised look colliding for a moment, and then smiled warmly, together looking at the instrument opposite.

Just then, the doctor said with a gentle smile, “Baby, say hello to Mommy.”

In the black and white picture, a small white dot flickered.

The doctor chuckled and sighed, “She’s really well-behaved.”

“Hiccup a few more times, move around.”

The little fish-shaped fellow was indeed obedient. Upon hearing this, she began to jump up and down again. Even in the mechanical sound, one could hear her hiccups. The lightly shaking white dot conveyed the message that she was currently doing well to the outside world.

Xiao Wenyu sniffed. The uneasiness that had started from last night finally settled down a bit at this moment. The hands holding each other were neither too tight nor too loose. Suddenly, she felt that hand being held.

“Don’t disturb me.” That person didn’t even turn her eyes, staring straight at the screen, her voice clear.

Xiao Wenyu: …?

Ruan Shengyi ignored her, staring intently at the board, and asked curiously, “Is that little dot her hand? Or her leg?”

Doctor: “The legs aren’t very obvious yet, that’s her hand. She’s about the size of a loquat right now, a little bigger than a palm. A lot of things are still unclear.”

Ruan Shengyi: “I saw on the Internet that there are a lot of colorful ones that can see the face, what are those?”

“Three-dimensional color ultrasound, but the pregnant woman had that test done when she came to register last time, so there’s no need to do it again this time.”

Ruan Shengyi: …What a pity.

Xiao Wenyu was still watching her ask the doctor these questions, feeling warm in her heart. Suddenly, the woman turned around and stared at her coldly and resentfully, the resentment in her eyes almost overflowing.

Xiao Wenyu asked a question mark again.

Back in the consulting room, Huang Zhiqi had been waiting for a long time. She took the B-ultrasound report, looked through it, and said in a low voice, “It’s good that you’re okay, but the baby’s development will be affected by your body to some extent. Generally speaking, you need to gain one to two kilograms of weight when entering the third month. You don’t have such a severe reaction to the pregnancy, but your weight has decreased instead of increased. If you don’t intervene, this situation will continue to occur.”

Xiao Wenyu was a little guilty, coughed lightly, and before her hand placed on the table could be withdrawn, another hand came up and gently grasped her hand, and then asked in a deep voice, “How should I intervene? Do I need to take any nutrients?”

Xiao Wenyu really couldn’t figure out what she meant today, feeling uneasy, and hesitated, “You don’t need to…” do so much.

But today, just one glance from the other person, and she lost the strength to continue speaking, watching her carefully communicating with the doctor about many issues as if she were really her family member.

The beautiful profile was covered with a layer of soft fluff, glowing warmly in the light.

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

It was the sound of a heartbeat, continuous and faint.

After Ruan Shengyi had asked almost all the questions she could ask, Huang Zhiqi folded her hands and said, “You need to take care of your body for another day, and tomorrow you need to do some blood tests. But it’s not a big problem. You can go back today, or you can stay another day, what do you think?”

Ruan Shengyi pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll stay here, otherwise I won’t be able to watch her today.”

Huang Zhiqi laughed.

The person involved on the side looked at the two of them in confusion, “What about me?”

Ruan Shengyi: “Do you want to go back?”

Xiao Wenyu: “…I’ll listen to you.”

…
