After picking up a system

Ling Yi was supporting his wife who was about to give birth and walking forward carefully with her. When he heard a familiar name, he frowned and then relaxed his brows. Subconsciously, he thought he was hallucinating. After all, his wife was pregnant and he was always nervous.

Yan Shuang stopped and patted her man, "Someone is calling you." She turned around helplessly in his confused eyes, and Ling Yi quickly followed suit.

Yan Shuang looked at Xu Zhao and nodded: "Hello." Ling Yi looked up and saw Xu Zhao: "Ah, Xu Zhao, long time no see." He also realized that someone really called him just now.

Xu Zhao nodded: "Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Xu Zhao, and I used to be a neighbor of Ling Yi. This is my son, Lu Zhiyao." Then he lowered his head and said to Lu Zhiyao: "Zhiyao, say hello to uncle and aunt."

Lu Zhiyao raised his head and said in a childish voice, "Hello, uncle and aunt." Then he looked at Yan Shuang's belly curiously. How could he eat so much to make his belly so big?

Ling Yi smiled and scratched his head: "Hello, hello." Then he looked at Xu Zhao and said, "This is my wife Yan Shuang. We are temporarily admitted to the hospital because we are about to give birth. By the way, why are you here?"

Yan Shuang also looked at her. Xu Zhao smiled and said, "Maybe you're pregnant, let's check it out." Then he touched Lu Zhiyao's head again.

The two of them shifted their gazes to Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao looked up in confusion, glanced at Yan Shuang and then at Xu Zhao: "Will Mom's belly become as big as Aunt Yan's?" So it's not because of eating too much?

Xu Zhao was stunned for a moment: "I'm not sure yet. If so, Zhiyao, would you like to have a younger sister or brother?"

Lu Zhiyao thought about it, looked at Yan Shuang and said, "Aunt Yan, will you give birth to a sister or a brother?" It turned out that her big belly was because she was pregnant with a baby.

Yan Shuang paused: "Auntie is not sure about this either."

Lu Zhiyao nodded, with a struggle in her eyes: "Then mom will give birth. If it's a sister, dad and I will protect you together. If it's a brother, the three of us will protect mom together."

“......Woo...My son...” Xu Zhao hugged Lu Zhiyao tightly, and was deeply moved.

Yan Shuang looked at her husband, feeling somewhat helpless. Ling Yi also looked at his wife, with a helpless smile, and patted his wife's back soothingly. He walked forward and squatted down: "You crybaby are still crying so much. I don't know how your husband can stand you. Fortunately, I always carry paper with me for my wife. Here, wipe it."

Xu Zhao freed one hand to take the tissue and wiped his tears, hiccuping as he retorted: "Gan, Gan Ge won't despise me, and he's not the same as before, okay... woo..."

Lu Zhiyao hugged Xu Zhao's neck, patted her gently and coaxed her: "Mom, don't cry!" She seemed accustomed to such scenes. It was just that usually her father would hold her and coax her mother, but now that her father was not around, of course she had to coax her mother herself.

Ling Yi was amused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Zhiyao is so good! Mr. Lu is magnanimous and doesn't despise you, so of course I have nothing to say."

Xu Zhao also felt embarrassed to be seen crying by his former neighbor brother, so he took a few deep breaths and calmed down. He patted Lu Zhiyao's shoulder and said, "Mom, don't cry. Don't worry, baby." Lu Zhiyao hesitated. Usually, her father would coax her mother for a long time, but when she saw that Xu Zhao stopped crying, she let go of her hand that was hugging her mother's head.

Xu Zhao said to Ling Yi, "Just pretend you didn't see it. Thank you." Then the two of them stood up and moved to the side. After all, it would be bad if they squatted in the corridor of the hospital and delayed the passage of others.

Ling Yi stood up and hugged his wife's shoulders again. Xu Zhao held Lu Zhiyao's hand, and they planned to say goodbye first because they had different destinations.

Ling Yi sensed his wife's worry, thought for a moment and said, "Come and talk to your sister-in-law after you've checked. You can just wait for Mr. Lu to pick you up." After he finished speaking, he saw Xu Zhao's eyes light up.

The couple paused at the same time. Why did she seem to be looking forward to it?

"Is it okay?" The two were stunned by the enthusiasm. Ling Yi nodded. Ling Yi looked at the joy in Xu Zhao's eyes and fell into deep thought. He couldn't quite remember whether this childhood sweetheart neighbor had always been so enthusiastic.

After the two separated, Yan Shuang grabbed the flesh around Ling Yi's waist and said, "What should I do? I, your wife, have a slight social phobia."

Ling Yi tried to dodge but failed, and said helplessly: "There is no better way to put it. I believe my wife, she can do it, right!"

Yan Shuang let go: "You don't even know how to hide. Of course I can, I'm just a little overwhelmed by socializing."

Ling Yi smiled and said, "Of course, my wife is the best. She can do anything for me. I'm slow to dodge, so how about next time my wife reminds me and I'll try to dodge it?"

Yan Shuang: “…” The king of chatterboxes.

Carefully helping Yan Shuang sit down on the bed, Ling Yi brought a small stool and sat beside him to peel an apple. Yan Shuang couldn't help laughing as she watched him sitting on the small stool with his limbs aggrieved.

Ling Yi looked up in confusion, then realized what she was laughing at. He peeled the apple and threw it into the trash can beside him. He continued peeling the apple: "I'm afraid it will squeeze you. Here, the apple peel is broken. You broke it. You have to eat it." His tone was a little emotional. He then hesitated when he handed the apple over: "How about I peel another one?"

Yan Shuang shook her head, took the apple and took a bite: "Didn't I tell you that I was lying to you back then? Why do you still remember it?" Ling Yi wiped the knife and put it back into the sheath, saying with a hint of teasing: "I spent three years cutting for you, and finally I chased you. Later I got used to it, so I kept it until now."

Yan Shuang coughed and swallowed the apple, her face still slightly red, it was awkward to be brought up in the past. I don't know if this counts as black history.

Ling Yi smiled and said, "I'll go wash my hands." Yan Shuang nodded.

A pregnant woman next to them had noticed this for a long time. She put down the porridge she was drinking and said with the unique tenderness of a mother, "This is your first child, right?" After seeing Yan Shuang nod, she continued, "When I gave birth to my first child, my husband also stayed by my side like this. He was so nervous that if you didn't know him, you would think he was the one giving birth." After that, she smiled at Ling Yi who was coming back from the bathroom.

Ling Yi greeted him with a smile, and did not sit on the small stool next to his wife. He gently stroked Yan Shuang's hair: "I hope it's me who gives birth, so that you don't have to go through these days of pain."

Yan Shuang patted him, finished eating the apple, and took a tissue to wipe his hands: "What nonsense are you talking about."

Ling Yi said nothing more, but his distressed mood remained unchanged. The expectant mother watched with a smile, quietly drinking her porridge and waiting for her husband to pick up Dabao from school.

Xu Zhao was on edge the whole time he was waiting, hoping that the baby was real, but at the same time he didn't want to be real. Lu Zhiyao's hand, which was held by Xu Zhao, was covered in his sweat.
