Chapter 458: 458: Zhou Qingrang’s Turning Point in Life
Lu Sheng waited for a while, but when he saw no response, he gently scratched his hand which had already stiffened: “Give so response.”
Zhou Qingrang, as if waking from a dream, had his emotions churning tumultuously: “Did you do this on purpose?”
Lu Sheng looked directly at him: “Yes, I tampered with the condom.”
His face showed no joy, only concern.
“Lu Sheng—”
Lu Sheng knew what he was going to say and interrupted: “Even if I have to raise the child alone, I will definitely have this child.”
Child.
That word left him completely at a loss. All the plans he had made were overturned at that mont, leaving him with only one thought: he could not die.
His hand that rested on her abdon moved gently, feeling her warmth through her clothes seared into his palm: “Shengsheng, right after the surgery, we’ll get married imdiately.”
Lu Sheng, her face flushed, nodded vigorously: “Okay.”
It was after eight, and Zhou Xufang had not yet gone ho.
Lu Sheng ca out of the ward and saw her at the door: “Xu Fang,” Lu Sheng closed the door of the ward, “why haven’t you gone ho yet?”
Zhou Xufang spoke quietly: “I have sothing I want to talk to you about.”
Lu Sheng glanced at Jiang Zhi next to her.
Zhou Xufang then said: “Jiang Zhi, don’t follow.”
Jiang Zhi was reluctant, but still honestly sat down on the chair to wait.
Zhou Xufang and Lu Sheng went up to the rooftop.
“Sorry, Shengsheng,” Zhou Xufang took the initiative to admit, “I just overheard your conversation with my uncle.” She didn’t an to eavesdrop; her hearing was just too good.
Lu Sheng didn’t mind: “It’s okay if you heard.”
Zhou Xufang didn’t know whether she should say congratulations, thought about it, felt the timing wasn’t quite right, and decided not to say it. She asked Lu Sheng: “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat supper?”
“No supper.”
Zhou Xufang then said: “Then you go back and rest, let Jiang Zhi stay in the hospital overnight.”
“No need, I’ll stay.”
Zhou Xufang frowned deeply, very worried: “You’re pregnant now, you shouldn’t overdo it.”
Lu Sheng laughed: “Xu Fang, I’m not pregnant, I lied to your uncle.”
Zhou Xufang was genuinely stunned.
Lu Sheng explained: “Doctor Hong said the will to live is very important. Having a child could provide one more reason for him to hold on.”
Zhou Xufang understood.
“Keep it a secret for .”
“Oh.”
Zhou Xufang felt so complicated, a bit disappointed, but also a bit relieved.
On the way back, she was silent.
Jiang Zhi asked her: “What’s wrong? What did you say to Lu Sheng?”
Zhou Xufang absentmindedly replied: “Secret.” She had promised Lu Sheng to keep it a secret.
Jiang Zhi didn’t like Zhou Xufang having secrets. Ordinarily, he would definitely pester her with questions, but because of Zhou Qingrang’s illness lately, her mood had been very low, so he had beco much more behaved and stopped asking.
In the evening, besides the guard by the door, only Lu Sheng was staying overnight in the hospital.
A nurse wearing a mask ca over, carrying a dical tray: “Ti to change the dressing.”
After the guard checked her work ID, she was allowed in.
The nurse entered, nodded, walked over to the IV stand, took down the almost-empty dication bag, and replaced it with a new one.
“Has Xu Fang gone ho?”
“She’s gone.”
Zhou Qingrang then asked Lu Sheng: “Are you hungry? Want so supper?”
Lu Sheng chuckled: “I’ve just been asked the exact sa question by your niece.” She sat down on the chair next to the bed, “I’m not hungry, nor tired, you don’t need to worry about . You have surgery tomorrow, you should rest well.”
The nurse adjusted the drip rate again.
After the nurse left, Zhou Qingrang moved a bit inside the bed and pulled Lu Sheng up: “Shengsheng, lie down here with .”
“Aren’t you crowded?”
He shook his head: “I want to hold you while I sleep.”
Lu Sheng took off her shoes and laid down next to him.
He was receiving an IV in one hand and held her with the other.
“Lu Sheng.”
“Hmm?”
He turned slightly, half-propping himself up to look at her: “Our baby, can I touch it?”
Lu Sheng took his hand and placed it on her stomach: “You can touch anywhere.”
“Not proper.”
Zhou Qingrang, thin-skinned and easily teased, blushed at just a few words, but he didn’t withdraw his hand, lightly rubbing her abdon.
Lu Sheng smiled, eyes curving: “I’m improper then, do you like that?”
His ears turned a bit red as he nodded: “I do.”
This old-fashioned man, sotis was especially indulgent towards her.
Lu Sheng found a comfortable position nestled in his arms: “When did you start liking ?”
Zhou Qingrang lay on his side: “Don’t know.” He said, “By the ti I realized, I already liked you a lot.”
Lu Sheng smiled and kissed his face.
Zhou Qingrang didn’t dodge, allowing her antics with his face flushed, his hand supporting her waist: “Any discomfort? Since the pregnancy.”
“No.”
He lowered his voice a bit, asking her very quietly: “Was it that ti on your birthday?”
Lu Sheng didn’t answer, instead asking him: “Why do you think it was that ti?” Her words were full of teasing, purposely provoking him.
“Playing dumb.”
His old-fashioned nature prevented him from saying it outright.
Lu Sheng spoke for him: “That day, we did it several—”
He, blushing, interrupted: “Shaless.”
Such an antique he was.
Lu Sheng nestled in his arms, laughing.
Zhou Qingrang held her as they lay there for a while, his eyelids growing heavy: “Let’s sleep.”
Lu Sheng lay still: “Tired?”
“Uh-huh.”
He closed his eyes, quickly settling into steady breathing.
He fell asleep exceptionally fast tonight, while Lu Sheng couldn’t sleep, afraid to disturb him, so she lay silently still. After a while, hearing so noise at the door, she sat up: “Who is it?”
