He Qi and Zhan Shuo had just gone back from their half-year world tour, the first time she contacted Guan Xin Mu, they both looked startled, they both were getting chubbier.
So-called contented and easy-going, every day He Qi and Zhan Shuo just ate hamburger coca cola, appreciate the culture of the Renaissance. When they spend their holiday in Roma, how could they don't get fat? Passing the long period of honeymoon, she throughly recovered to her old self, her eyes were glistening, and looked colorful.
"I'm envy you, I'm jealous." Guan Xin Mu chewed a french fried potatoes, she looked at He Qi, "Why should you live so happily, and now I even had no right to fried chicken leg."
"You are almost be a mother. How could you be this childish~" He Qi immediately held her hand, "Eat less those unhealthy things."
Guan Xin Mu twitched her mouth, and asked about her fun in the Europe.
"There was a time that for eight days, on each days we didn't sleep in the same city, it brought freshness. The most beautiful thing about Europe is not those historical sites and scenic spots, but those little village, it's beautiful and touching, with are the same as the old painting. Every day in the morning opening eyes and looked at a land full of lavender, the sky was so blue, the wind was blowing unhurriedly. Moreover enjoying a cup simple kind hot milk, a slice of banana bread…." He Qi said it then smiled, "It's the first time that time could be so slow, then be enjoyable.
Guan Xin Mu listened to it and felt more envious of her. He Qi fished out her phone and gave her look the photos. She noticed Zhan Shuo was getting skinnier, she immediately said: "You are getting fatter, so it's actually turned out because you suck in from him?"
"What are you saying, he's not easily acclimatized. He couldn't eat most of the food." He Qi laughed," He had diarrhea and fever before, I was taking care of him like a baby. Yet in the whole process, he never mentioned about going home, and accompany me. For this, I am quite moved."
"Don't say you, I even feel so touched. Which man could do something like that? Quit the job, and without caring of the opposition of the family, brought you to travel around the Europe, it's too beautiful!"
He Qi smiled happily: "This lifetime we just be crazy once, without spend quite a lot of money, really couldn't buy anything, lived in the cheapest one, eating the most simple meal. Those money is not enough to buy that hundred thousand branded bag. He had a fellow student who is the reporter of magazine, wanted gave us an exclusive interview, as a new idea to spend the honeymoon in bold. He didn't have heart to reject, but at last I stepped in and said no. For which reason wanted to tell our story to others, this kind of experience belong to us."
Guan Xin Mu immediately took the glass of drink and toasted toward He Qi: "Excuse me, after going through that long period of homeless time, is there any refinement for between you guys?"
He Qi smiled and pushed away her glass, she said: "It's nothing, it just our interaction became more unrestrained, like a old married couple, and has mutual understanding. There was once we camped on spacious and empty places to sleep, when we raised our head we could see the bright stars. I felt an illusion, that in this worlds they were just two of us, there was some dread also had some sweetness.
"Then going back to the mundane world, do you feel especially can't be adapted to it? Do you feel especially unbearable?"
"I'm quite unadapted to it." He Qi let go her hands, "But there's nothing to be done, we are social people, couldn't always follow our interest to live. But these kind of memories would be remembered by us, I have no regret.
They chatted a long time. Mai Ke called Guan Xin Mu's phone, Guan Xin Mu seized the opportunity to introduce her to He Qi, she said that Mai Ke is a really interesting and funny girl, He Qi also had interest to get to know her.
Guan Xin Mu's belly was already really big. She requested for a leave to rest at home, every day she drinks her soup, eats light flavored food. Sometimes she secretly ate deep fry foods, Fei Jun pretended to not see it, he knew to let her completely controlled herself is an impossible thing. Guan Xin Mu was getting fatter and fatter, she looked like a giant ball, she also became more sleepier and lazier. She liked to sit down on the round-backed armchair at the patio while she was drinking her tea and read some comics. She could sit there for the whole afternoon, and didn't move. It was until Fei Jun came here and she started to shift her butt. When his gaze started to look strict and serious, she would stand up, and held his hand to go stroll around.
The sun sets in the west, they both walked around the garden at the small area city center, they held hands, one of Guan Xin Mu's hand stroked her belly lightly.
The people passed by them would smiled amiably to them, said: "Your stomach was bigger than before."
Guan Xin Mu would smiled very cheerfully and lightheartedly, while Fei Jun as always be so reserved, but his corner of lips was crooked up slightly.
Guan Xin Mu's hair had grown to her shoulder. Fei Jun had more ritual to do, he likes to stroke her hair frequently, and used his finger to play with it.
In the garden, there was a lot of couples strolled around while hugging each other. Guan Xin Mu sighed: "Look at them, they are so skinny. But me, round and fat, I'm like a ball. And you still ask me to go out to embarrassed myself."
"As a mom, you still want to compare yourself to a seventeen to eighteen years little girl?"
"Fei Jun!" Guan Xin Mu raised her voice to protest, "What do you mean? Do you say that I'm old? Isn't it your fault that you make me like this? You compensate for my body!"
"From the start you don't have any body." Fei Jun replied calmly.
Guan Xin Mu was about to explode in rage, but her hand were pulled by Fei Jun. One of his hand stroked her stomach lightly, and said: "Alright, I don't fight with you. I'm worry about Baby."
……
"Moreover, I don't really like too skinny woman." Fei Jun said it, "Like this is also quite good."
Guan Xin Mu scoffed, pulled his hand, and continued their stroll.
"If there's one day, I ask you to bring me to wander around, would you put Fei company, and take me?" She suddenly asked.
"This quite hard," Fei Jun said, "It's too unrealistic."
"I just know it that you couldn't let go of this mundane life. For this thing you are not better than Zhan Shuo then." Guan Xin Mu said.
"Mundane life, also it's good. If we have a peaceful heart, all family members beside us, the everywhere is the same." Fei Jun inclined his body, and looked at her.
Ten months pregnant, Guan Xin Mu gave birth smoothly to a little girl.
The baby's weight was 4.5 kg. She didn't cry and make a noise, she just be a good one and laid down on Guan Xin Mu's side. Guan Xin Mu's body was full of sweat, she was so weak, her face was paled, and her lips were so dry. She turned her head a bit and looked at her little baby. She smiled happily. Fei Jun went over her side, lowered his head and kissed her lips: "She is very healthy, you could be relaxed."
Guan Xin Mu closed her eyes, prepared to get some sleep. She suddenly opened her eyes, and said softly: "Fei Jun, I want to eat roasted duck."
……..
Mai Ke and He Qi was the first one who rushed to the hospital to visit Guan Xin Mu, and also her mother also brought soups and fruits over. She was so busy, her eldest daughter just gave birth a month ago, and now her little one just gave birth. She was so busy, but she kept on smiling because she was happy for thme.
The little baby's face was wrinkled, she didn't have any kind of expression. For the whole day she just closed her eyes, curled up her body. Yet Mai Ke and He Qi really like her.
"Look at how small is she, how could she be so small?"
"Look she is so good, doesn't cry and make a noise."
"Call godmother, hurry~"
Guan Xin Mu was disturbed by them. She ignored them, she turned her body to the other side, and inside her heart, she was counting the days until she could get to eat that roasted duck.
After being pregnant Guan Xin Mu went through a convalesce period for a month of following child birth. She need to follow a special birth and observing various taboo to protect the body from exposure to the "wind". During that time, Fei Jun hired a care taker and nanny. For a whole day, the care taker would could cook for her with her amazing cooking skills. Every day she would changed the dishes into several kinds.
Every day Fei Jun would carry his little baby, his movement was very gentle and his eyes were soft and full of affection. His eyes looked like he was saying that he would give the whole world to the baby, it let Guan Xin Mu felt a bit jealous. When have Fei Jun seen her like that?
The little baby's hand was very small, when it placed on Fei Jun's broad and wide chest, it just covered one- quarter of it.
Every time she carried the baby and breast-feed her, Fei Jun would appear on time. He sat down on the bed, and looked at her. She couldn't help to be angry at him: "What are you doing? Why your eyes looked so rogue?"
After she was done, Fei Jun would placed the baby on the side. Then without delay he would pull her hands, his eyes full of fire, and said: "Let me check for a while, your milk condition, doctor said it was not to be checked for a while…."
"Hey hey hey! Baby is still here! What are your hands doing! Hey hey hey, why are you robbing baby's milk!
The baby's lips still had some left-over of the milk, she just closed her eyes, and didn't look and hear anything.
The baby calls Fei Zi Nuo, her nickname is Nuo Nuo. Fei Jun asked his secretary to buy her a pile of toys. Guan Xin Mu took the little panda music to tease Nuo Nuo.
"Nuo Nuo, look at here, the right side~" Guan Xin Mu guided.
Nuo Nuo foolishly looked at the left.
"Here here." Guan Xin Mu said.
Nuo Nuo closed her eyes lazily, and ignored her mama.
Guan Xin Mu was a failure.
In the contrary, Fei Jun could play with Nuo Nuo very well. Every day when he get off the work, his first thign to do is to wash his hand, he changed his clothes then carried Nuo Nuo. He shook his finger, and called her softly Nuo Nuo. Nuo Nuo fixed her gaze on his finger.
Nuo Nuo is a appearance ideology.
Nuo Nuo is very obedient and good, and a bit little expressionless. She didn't really cry and make noise. She didn't need someone to pamper her to sleep. Wei Dong Lin said that Nuo Nuo is more good than Guan Xin Mu's when she was little. Nuo Nuo should be inherited Fei Jun's temprament. Guan Xin Mu examined Nuo Nuo carefully, she noticed her nose and brows indeed looks like Fei Jun, this reality let her a bit happy.
This night, Nuo Nuo drank her milk earlier and slept.
Guan Xin Mu yawned, and slept. When she was half-awake, she noticed there was something moved on her chest. She opened her eyes, indeed it was Fei Jun's palm. He was very skillfully, and calmly lingered on her chest, massaging, pinching, and stroking.
"Be gentle. I want to sleep."
Fei Jun moved close to her, and bit her exquisite necks.She smiled, listened to his gradually urgent breathing. He held her arms, and said: "I'll be on call, impossible to get rid of. He started to explore her body, made her body to shudder. She immediately blushed: "The baby is beside us."
"She already fell asleep. Now it's time that belong other interested thing."
"The doctor said…."
"It's been three months, the doctor said it's okay if we go lighter." Fei Jun turned his body, and lowered his body to burry it on her snowy peak. "I want you, now."
His skills as before was outstanding. It made her feeling like she was on a rollercoaster
