“Son, son, look, is this pretty?”
Su Ran handed the phone to Su Han and asked excitedly,
What the hell is this? Looking at the pink blob on Su Ran’s phone, Su Han raised an eyebrow, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
“What is this?”
“A baby sleeping bag, in a caterpillar design, what do you think, isn’t it cute?” Su Ran asked.
Recently, Su Ran had become completely obsessed with shopping. Basically, her shopping cart and favorites were always full. Of course, in addition to some seasonal clothes for her son, the rest were basically all infant products, such as cribs, walkers, infant toys, and of course, all kinds of cute and adorable mini princess dresses.
Although there were already a lot of things that Su Ran had bought for Lu Xiaonuan at home, she was still tirelessly buying more every day.
“I think it’s average.” Su Han said in a deep voice, moving his gaze away from that thing.
Caterpillar? How does this thing look like a caterpillar? And, are there pink caterpillars?
“How is it average? It’s clearly very good-looking, okay?” Su Ran felt that her son had a problem with his taste.
Faced with Su Ran’s expression of #I don’t think you have good taste#, Su Han’s mouth twitched.
“Then ask him, don’t ask me.” Su Han glanced at Lu Shao, who was “watching the fun” on the side, and said rather unhappily.
“What do you think of this one, Dad?” She took the phone back with disdain and handed Lu Shao the treasure she had just found.
As for Lu Shao’s answer, there was always only one: “Not bad.” Having said that, Lu Shao directly covered Su Ran’s eyes with his hand.
“Alright, you’ve been on your phone long enough today.”
Because Mr. Lu had previously seen an article on the Internet about “pregnant women using mobile phones is more harmful to the eyes”, so now, Su Ran was treated like an Internet-addicted teenager quitting the Internet every day, and the time she could play with her mobile phone is strictly limited.
“Um, then wait a moment, I’ll add this to the shopping cart.”
“Add it to the shopping cart, and then you’ll go through everything in the cart from beginning to end again.” Lu Shao calmly stated this fact.
“I’ll do it.” After saying that, Lu Shao took Su Ran’s phone, glanced at the “pink caterpillar” that Su Ran had chosen, and thought it was not bad, so he clicked “buy” directly and then threw the phone aside.
“Would you like to eat something?” Seeing Su Ran’s expression of unfinished business, Lu Shao slightly hooked the corner of his mouth and changed the topic, asking.
Upon hearing this, Su Ran’s eyes lit up.
“Are there still mangoes in the fridge?”
“Yes, wait a moment.“carpreads.pages.dev
A few minutes later, Lu Shao came out of the kitchen and handed the sliced mango chunks he was holding to Su Ran. When Lu Shao sat back down next to her, Su Ran also very “self-consciously” put both of her feet back on Lu Shao’s legs.
After the start of winter, whether it was because her blood circulation wasn’t very good or because she had less exercise, Su Ran was particularly afraid of the cold, especially in her feet. Therefore, Mr. Lu gained two more functions, foot warmer and human massager.
At first, Su Ran would feel a little embarrassed, but now, she was used to it. Just like now, it had become second nature. Furthermore, although it was already March, the recent weather, which was cold one moment and warm the next, was truly cold.
Su Ran put her feet down naturally, but she didn’t notice that the moment her feet stretched out, Lu Shao’s face suddenly became very unnatural because of some kind of stimulation.
“Did you buy this mango from the fruit market downstairs? It’s quite sweet.” Su Ran put a large piece of mango flesh in her mouth and instantly squinted her eyes in happiness. She habitually threw a piece of food into her son’s mouth.
Then, looking at Lu Shao’s expression over there, which seemed a little low, Su Ran blinked and asked again, “Dad, do you want some too?”
“No need,” Lu Shao said, his voice slightly hoarse.
After speaking, Lu Shao looked at Su Han, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, playing with his phone with an indifferent expression.
“Have you finished your homework?” Lu Shao asked in a deep voice, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes.” I’ve finished writing it a long time ago, okay?
“Go back to sleep after you finish writing.”
Since the beginning of this semester, Su Han hasn’t been staying at the main house as often because he has to go to school. However, once they arrived at Xingfuli, Mr. Lu “banished” Su Han to the apartment next door.
As for the reason, it was because Su Han went to school too early, which would affect Su Ran’s rest. Of course, he was also afraid that Su Ran would sometimes toss and turn at night, which would affect Su Han.
Although he wasn’t too happy about it, Su Han rarely complied with his father’s request.
It’s just that… It’s not even 9:00 yet, right? Why is he sleeping?
Su Han frowned as he glanced at the time on his phone, and complained to himself in his mind. However, looking at Su Ran, who was eating a mango and looked like she was about to fall asleep, Su Han pursed his lips, put away his phone, and stood up from the sofa.
“Then I’ll go over,” Su Han said.
“Good night, Mom,” Su Han said good night to Su Ran, glanced at Lu Shao, hesitated for a second, and said to him in a cool tone, “Good night.”
……
“Oh, right,” Su Han thought for a moment before leaving and looked at the two of them. “I will have a parent-teacher conference next week.”
“I’ll go,” Lu Shao said. The class teacher had already notified the parents about the parent-teacher meeting for this month’s exam in the parent contact group.
“Oh.” Su Han nodded coolly before closing the door and going next door. Returning to his current residence, Su Han took out his phone from his pocket again and opened the chat group he had with Liu Yangyang and the others.
Earlier, several people were discussing the issue of the parent-teacher conference next week.
[Han]: My dad is going.
Because of Du Wentao’s mother’s enthusiastic broadcast, several parents in Su Han’s class who had a close relationship with each other now knew that Su Han’s mother was pregnant.
Du Wentao didn’t know about it, but he heard his mother mention it once: Su Han’s mother had not been able to attend the school’s parent-teacher conferences or extracurricular activities recently.
Isn’t there a parent-teacher conference next week? Du Wentao just thought of it and asked Su Han in their small group chat.
……
[vs General Du]: Hehe, is it really Uncle Lu who’s going? That’s great.
[vs General Du]: Sprinkle flowers.
[That’s a rip-off]: Du Xiaotao, what does it matter to you if Su Han’s father goes to the parent-teacher conference? It’s not like your father went, so you don’t have to get beaten. Despicable.
[vs General Du]: Liu rip-off, you don’t understand. You don’t know that ever since Uncle Lu’s speech during winter break last semester, my mom went home and seriously reflected on her own educational approach. Not only did she reduce my tutoring by two subjects, she even gave me half an hour every day to play basketball.
[That’s a rip-off]：Didn’t you fail the monthly exam this time?
[vs General Du]: Get lost, get lost, get lost. Can you not bring up unpleasant topics?
[That’s a rip-off]: I’m just giving you a heads up, so you can be prepared to get beaten up.
[vs General Du]: Pfft.
Watching the two of them bicker, Su Han raised an eyebrow and calmly prepared to temporarily mute the group chat.
However, just then, Du Wentao suddenly @-ed Su Han.
[vs General Du]: @Han, oh right, Su Han, if your dad found out you had a puppy love, would he beat you up too?
In this way, he became much more peaceful after being beaten up together. Su Han frowned as he looked at the question Du Wentao had sent him.
Puppy love? When did this happen?
[Han]: When did I have a puppy love? How come I don’t know about it?
[vs General Du]: None? No way?
[Han]: No.
[vs General Du]: But didn’t you accept the little plush bunny that the class teacher gave you that day?
[vs General Du]: No, wait, was it a bunny or a bear?
[Han]: It looks nice, I was going to give it to someone later.
Moreover, he had already explained it to the class teacher and returned a stack of notebooks to her.
After seeing Su Han’s message, Du Wentao and Liu Yangyang on the other end both had expressions of “oh my god”.
[That’s a rip-off]：Brother Han, who are you going to give that thing to?!
[vs General Du]: Same question!!!
[Han]: Lu Xiaonuan ……
On the other side, watching her son leave, Su Ran originally wanted to say, isn’t it a bit too early to go to bed now?
She also wanted her son to stay here a little longer. Before Su Ran could say anything, she noticed the “meaningful” expression on Mr. Lu’s face.
“Pfft……” Su Ran couldn’t help but chuckle and raised an eyebrow at Lu Shao.
So, Mr. Lu called his son next door because of this? Su Ran thought to herself.
Sure enough, the next second, she heard Lu Shao say, “Go wash up?”
“Yes, okay.”
After washing up, he carefully placed Su Ran on the bed, and then Lu Shao got on the bed as well.
“How are you feeling today?” Lu Shao asked in a low voice, carefully avoiding Su Ran’s now-protruding belly as he leaned down to kiss her forehead. Lu Shao’s voice was full of concern, and at the same time, his scorching gaze carried a hint of inquiry.
Looking at Lu Shao like this, Su Ran couldn’t help but chuckle softly. She raised her arms and put them around Lu Shao’s neck.
“Pretty good.” ……
Although the pamphlet the hospital gave before said: other than the first and last three months of pregnancy, when it is recommended to abstain from intercourse, other times it can be controlled within a moderate range.
However, throughout the entire process, Lu Shao was still very careful. To the point that, when he sensed a slight change in Su Ran, Lu Shao stopped immediately.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Shao stopped and asked Su Ran, who seemed to have frowned just now, with a nervous expression.
“Lu Shao.”
“I’m here. Are you feeling unwell?”
“No,” Su Ran shook her head, and then held Lu Shao’s hand that was covering her belly, and asked, “Did you feel it just now?”
“What?”
“Just now, Lu Xiaonuan seemed to have moved.” Looking at Lu Shao, Su Ran widened her eyes and said in disbelief. Actually, it was said online before that when the pregnancy reaches 16 weeks, the fetal movement will become more obvious, and the mother can sometimes feel it.
If calculations were correct, it was almost time for her. However, it was the first time Su Ran had such a feeling, and she still found it very surprising.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shao’s eyes lit up, and a look of “excitement” flashed across his face.
“Here?” Lu Shao asked.
“Seems like it.”
In fact, Su Ran wasn’t too sure either, after all, the feeling just now was too subtle.
“Let’s wait and see,” Su Ran said.
“Okay.” Lu Shao said with a smile. He turned around and very carefully put Su Ran back on the bed.
So, the two of them kept waiting until Su Ran fell asleep, but they still didn’t feel any fetal movement. Father Lu, on the other hand, stared at Su Ran’s belly very persistently for most of the night…
