1979: My fiancée is a goddess

May is the transition period between spring and summer, and it was already quite hot in the afternoon.

A cool breeze carries the delicate fragrance of gardenias, which flows into the mottled old wooden windows and settles in the corridor of Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing.

The sunlight streamed quietly onto the girl's off-white embroidered shoes, making them shine.

A soft, sky-blue dress swayed gently in the breeze and sunlight, leaving a faint shadow.

A pair of slender, jade-white legs leaned slightly against the railing, which was covered in reddish rust, exuding grace and elegance.

"Hehe...the little guy is so lively right after eating!"

Liu Xiaoli sat quietly on the wooden chair, her delicate hand gently stroking her protruding belly beneath her dress.

Her bright, clear almond-shaped eyes held a faint smile as she gently gazed at her lower abdomen, which showed obvious changes as she was touched.

The baby is inside my belly, and I'm responding to her.

"Is this Da Bao? Xiao Bao is much quieter and more docile."

Looking at his wife's lower left abdomen, which rippled like gentle waves, Cheng Kaiyan couldn't help but chuckle and ask.

I don't know if it's her natural personality or if she's just developing a little slower, but this little baby is very quiet and doesn't move around much.

I just feel lazy and don't want to move at all.

Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli were often worried that something unusual might happen, so when she was at home, they would touch her from time to time to encourage her to move around more.

However, this little guy is also very clever. In order to resist his mother and father's harassment, he would switch places with his older brother from time to time.

So sometimes Cheng Kaiyan didn't know whether the little guy was on the left or the right, and could only judge by whether he was lively or not.

"Yes~"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli gently poked An Anjing's right side with her delicate pink fingertips, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Baby, move a little so Mommy and Daddy can see you~"

After lunch, the little fairy, who was quietly curled up in her belly to rest, was suddenly woken up by her young mother. She immediately frowned, raised her little hand, and pushed twice in dissatisfaction.

"Hey~ it moved, it moved!"

"Mom's words really do carry the weight..."

Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli both smiled at the same time.

Cheng Kaiyan looked up at his wife and chuckled, "It seems the little guy takes after you, Xiaoli, so quiet and well-behaved."

"Ha ha……"

Liu Xiaoli shook her head, her gentle, watery eyes giving Cheng Kaiyan a sidelong glance. "I heard from Mom what you looked like when you were little, Kaiyan. I think you look just like her."

Besides... I wasn't this well-behaved when I was a child.

"Too."

Hearing this, Cheng Kaiyan nodded in agreement, saying, "It seems the younger one looks like the father, and the older one looks like the mother."

The young couple snuggled together, whispering and chatting, patiently waiting for the nurse to call their number.

The couple had just finished registering their marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau that morning, taken photos, and received their documents. They then had lunch outside.

I didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so I came to the hospital to get my monthly check-up done.

I came to the hospital both to check on the development of the two babies and to ask Xiaoli when her due date is.

It's early May now, and Xiaoli is over six months pregnant, with not much time left before she gives birth.

It will probably take about three or four months.

……

After waiting for a while, the pregnant woman in front of them went in and came out again.

"Comrade Liu Xiaoli, please come in on the 25th..."

The nurse came out with the medical records and called out numbers. Finally, it was Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli's turn.

The two entered the room, where Dr. Li was still seeing patients.

"Da Bao is fine, let's focus on Xiao Bao."

"Hmm... Although it still looks a bit small compared to older babies, after these few months, the baby has developed very well, and is even healthier than a typical six-month-old baby."

"All body parts are also perfectly intact. Look at your fingers, one, two, three, four, five, fingers and toes are clearly visible, hands, feet, ears, eyes, nose, etc. are all fine..."

Dr. Li patiently explained the examination results while holding the scans.

Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli sat at the desk, listening intently.

After about ten minutes, the examination was almost complete.

"Sister Li, we're almost seven months along now, when is your due date?"

Liu Xiaoli took the examination materials, handed them to Cheng Kaiyan and told him to put them in his bag, then turned and asked.

Although she and Cheng Kaiyan had suspected it in private, the doctor was still the more professional one.

"As for the due date, let me see..."

"It will be around mid-August, around the 10th or 20th of the month."

I suggest you two come to the hospital in early August or late July to stay first... that way it will be easier for us to give birth then.”

Dr. Li took out a pen and paper and did some calculations, then suggested, "Of course, you can deliver the baby at home, but you need to be careful..."

These days, not everyone has the spare money to go to the hospital to give birth. Countless pregnant women in rural and urban areas give birth at home. So she talked about some precautions for giving birth at home.

"Okay, we understand, Dr. Li."

Liu Xiaoli wrote everything down and was about to get up when she suddenly remembered something, and sat down again, gently stroking her skirt.

She turned to Cheng Kaiyan and said, "Kaiyan, you go out first. I have something to ask Sister Li." "What is it? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Cheng Kaiyan asked, puzzled.

"Hey~, get out of here!"

Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly, pushed him towards the door with dissatisfaction, and urged him on.

“What are you, a man, doing listening to things that only women like us should talk about? Get out, Comrade Cheng Kaiyan.”

Dr. Li glanced at Liu Xiaoli and chuckled as he offered his advice.

"Alright alright."

Seeing this, Cheng Kaiyan could only wave her hand and turn to leave.

He simply didn't notice that his beloved Xiaoli's fair face was flushed with a faint blush.

With a click, the door closed.

"Xiaoli, what's wrong?"

Dr. Li looked away and asked with a smile.

"Well... well, it's nothing really, just..."

Liu Xiaoli raised her hand to smooth the strands of hair that had fallen by her ear, her face flushed, and she stammered, looking rather embarrassed.

"Hehe, let's talk about it. It's just the two of us here."

Dr. Li couldn't help but smile.

"OK then."

Liu Xiaoli took a deep breath, suppressing her shyness, and whispered something in Dr. Li's ear for a while.

"There's definitely no problem with that. Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy make the body more sensitive and prone to reactions."

Xiaoli, you can relax. It's not that we have a problem; we just need to relax a bit.

Well, we're only a little over six months pregnant now, so the second trimester is pretty safe, but we should still be careful about our position...

We need to hurry, because after a while we won't recommend it anymore, as things could easily go wrong.

Dr. Li, having been through it all, naturally understands the shyness these newly married and pregnant young women feel.

She maintained her smile and patiently explained everything to Liu Xiaoli in detail.

"Oh, I know."

Liu Xiaoli nodded gently, leaning back in her seat and letting out a sigh of relief. Her bright and beautiful face was now flushed, the blush spreading all the way to her ears.

After hearing Sister Li's explanation, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, a hint of resentment flashing in her beautiful eyes: "Hmph~ I told you it was no problem, but Kaiyan just wouldn't agree..."

"Okay, that's almost it."

"Goodbye, Sister Li. We'll head back now."

Bye-bye, drive safely.

……

At one o'clock, the sun was shining brightly, and the young couple walked along the street carrying their bags.

"The sun is so strong, I hope I don't get a tan."

Cheng Kaiyan quickly opened the umbrella to shield his wife from the sun, then asked curiously, "What happened just now?"

"nothing much."

Liu Xiaoli didn't look at him, and pursed her lips.

I won't tell him.

"Alright, let's get married and register our marriage today. Let's celebrate properly when we get back. What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you."

Cheng Kaiyan didn't press further and changed the subject.

For the past few months, he has been the one doing most of the housework at home, including laundry, cooking, and cleaning. He is truly a model stay-at-home husband.

Even her mother, Xu Yuxiu, was deeply moved after reading it. In a letter to Jiang Wan, she said that the young couple no longer needed her to take care of them, as they were doing quite well on their own.

"Okay! I want to eat... but I don't really want to eat, I can't really eat."

Liu Xiaoli was initially delighted, but her mood quickly soured again.

As time went on, the nausea and vomiting that occurred in early pregnancy have now turned into an inability to eat.

And now that summer is almost here and the weather is getting hotter, people feel even more uncomfortable.

"Don't you have an appetite?"

Cheng Kaiyan sighed, stroked his wife's soft, black hair, and said with heartache, "I'll think of a way to whet your appetite."

"Okay, then it's up to you."

Liu Xiaoli nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied! It's something you've never had before. Come on, let's go home and make it."

Before long, Cheng Kaiyan had an idea: perhaps a sweet and sour, icy and refreshing taste would improve Xiaoli's appetite.

Luckily, we had some fruit yogurt at home in the refrigerator.

"go home!"

Seeing her son Cheng so confident, Liu Xiaoli's interest was piqued. She lightly took his arm and they walked briskly towards home. (End of Chapter)
