C16 Boy or Girl?

Lian Kang came out to find me.

"Fei, I've already spoken to my family. I'll send them off tomorrow morning. I'll trouble Liu Jing to stay the night with you. I'll come pick you up tomorrow." Lian Kang looked at me deeply and said, "Fei, I will give you a new home."

I looked at him. "Really?"

"Of course, they said they came to see me. Now that I'm out of the hospital, I'm fine, I should go back."

I stayed at Liu Jing's house for the whole night. The next day, Lian Kang came to pick me up. It wasn't a good idea to stay at someone else's house. I followed him home.

When he returned home, he smelled a nice fragrance the moment he opened the door. The living room was clean. Compared to yesterday, it was like a completely different world.

"I asked auntie to come and clean it. I told auntie to do it every morning at 10 o'clock like before." Lian Kang took out the shoes from the shoe cabinet for me to wear.

I suddenly realized that the sculpture horse in the living room was gone. It was completely empty.

Lian Kang quickly followed him, "I've invited an expert to look at your work. He said that the water stains can be repaired, so I got someone to send the sculpture to the factory for repair. It should be done in about 10 days."

I'm an expert at this, and I can fix it. I didn't say anything and went upstairs.

The more attentive Lian Kang was, the more uncomfortable I felt in my heart. It was as if there was a large piece of apple skin in my throat, so hard that I couldn't even swallow it.

There were new sheets in the bedroom, new pillowcases, and even new carpets. Yesterday I saw that the carpets were full of ashes from his father's pipe, and the child's urine stains, but now there were no more traces of them, as if the whole family had never appeared.

After I changed my clothes, Lian Kang walked out of the bathroom. "Fei, put away the bath water. The floor is slippery, so you have to be careful."

The floor tiles in the bathroom were covered with anti-skid pads, which I bought and spread on the floor as soon as I became pregnant with Lian Kang.

There were pink bubbles floating in the tub, and they smelled like strawberries. I picked up the bottle and looked at it.

After the shower, the bedroom was filled with the smell of lavender. Lian Kang sat on the sofa beside the bed.

During this time, Lian Kang and I slept separately.

I walked over and said, "You go to sleep, I'm going to sleep too."

"From today onwards, I will be sleeping here." He patted the sofa he was sitting on. "You have a big stomach. I can't rest easy. I'll sleep here." He held a small bottle in his hand and said, "Fei, let me rub some lavender oil on your body to soothe your meridians and give you a good night's sleep."

As he spoke, he reached out and took my leg. The instant his palm touched mine, I reflexively withdrew.

I don't want him to meet me, not at all.

His expression was hurt, his head was bowed, and a few drops of lavender oil dripped onto the back of his hand.

I lay down on the bed, tucked in the back, and pulled up the covers.

I closed my eyes. Today, I was very tired. I didn't want to discuss that matter with Lian Kang anymore. It didn't matter if it was fake or real.

Even if he was framed, I couldn't accept him right away.

I didn't sleep, the room was very quiet, I heard Lian Kang very suppressed crying, at first it was a sob, then it turned into a wail, crying very miserably.

I had never seen him cry like this before. I pulled the covers over my head to stop him, but after a long time, he was still crying.

As he cried till the end, he actually felt a sense of desolation.

I turned to look at him, his tears wetting the arm of the sofa, turning it a deep purple.

"Lian Kang, go out. Let me be alone for a moment."

He slowly stood up and I saw his eyes. They were red and swollen from crying.

I'm a little sad. If only things hadn't happened that day, I'd be the happiest person alive.

Lian Kang has always been very good to me. To be honest, since nothing happened that day, he was only taking care of me. It's just that he was too busy to take care of a lot of things.

I didn't know I was crying, Lian Kang saw my tears, he turned around and kneeled down beside the bed with a thump, then he grabbed my legs with his hands.

He didn't say anything, just buried his face in the covers and cried like a hand tearing at my already weak heart.

Lian Kang stayed in the bedroom at night and slept on the sofa.

He cried most of the night, until his voice was hoarse, and when I was about to fall asleep, he said something to me.

"I'm willing to use my life in exchange for your memory of that day. Fei, what I'm most afraid of in this world is making you suffer."

This is a very appropriate love speech, I said I was not touched at all, that is false.

Lian Kang's matter passed just like that. I tried not to think about it, as if there was something bad in my memory. I used my time to forget about it.

Lian Kang took good care of me. He massaged my legs every night. My stomach got bigger, but my legs didn't swell.

As she was about to give birth, my mother came.

My mother stayed for a few days, all day long to I originally wanted to take care of me, but was taken care of by Lian Kang.

"You're old and yet you're still enjoying life." My mother was laughing with pride.

I looked at her, and I was filled with happiness. The black shadow of the past seemed to drift away, as if I had really forgotten it.

The delivery date was in these few days, Lian Kang was very nervous. Originally, he would sleep in the guest room when Mom came, but he insisted on sleeping on the sofa these few days.

That night, I slept until midnight. I had a dream, as if I had gone sailing to the sea. My body was floating.

Then, my mom and the others woke me up. Lian Kang said with a trembling voice, "Fei, your amniotic fluid is broken."

No wonder I kept dreaming about the sea. I got up quickly, but my body was soft and my lower body was full of water.

Lian Kang drove me to the hospital. At the beginning, I panicked, but then I calmed down. My mom was fine, but she kept comforting Lian Kang.

"It's okay. When I gave birth to Fei, I also broke water first. It's normal for a woman to break water."

Lian Kang was so nervous that his lips were white. I patted the back of his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a baby."

He became even more nervous, "Fei, does your stomach hurt? Are you feeling uncomfortable? "We'll be there soon!"

It was only when they arrived at the hospital that the pain in their stomachs began to increase, like the pain of having diarrhea, but it was much more painful, and wave after wave of increasingly intense pain.

I've been doing well, from college to graduation, marriage, all of it has been smooth sailing.

However, the matter of having children was not going well for me.

The anesthetic was ready, the doctor was talking to me, and I knew that he had already begun.

He chatted with me. "First child?"

"Yes." "First child," I said.

"Are you still planning on having a second child?"

To be honest, I was a little scared when I gave birth to a second child, something I hadn't thought about for the past few years.

The doctor suddenly fell silent, and the nurses gathered around me. I didn't know what had happened to me, but I felt myself growing weaker and weaker, and something inside me was moving away from me.

"Bleeding. Uterine damage." a nurse whispered.

"Hurry up and prepare the plasma!"

Then, my consciousness gradually faded. Before I fell asleep, I only heard Lian Kang's voice from outside the delivery room: "Blood, I have blood here, it's mine, it's mine!"

I never passed out, I don't know what it was like, I just felt like I had a good night's sleep.

When I woke up, I saw the light on the ceiling of the operating room. I was still lying on the operating table.

"He woke up." A young nurse said, "After you finish measuring the indicators, you can push it out."

"12 beds? Her husband is hilarious. At the beginning, he was crying at the door as if he was something else. But when the doctor started talking, he immediately rushed over to ask if it was a boy or a girl. There were even tears and snot on his face." The voice of another nurse.
