Ye Xingchen's body felt pain reflexively. She thought she heard wrongly, but his voice was clearly still lingering in her ears. It was still such a familiar tone, low and pleasant, but at this moment it was like a sharp needle.
, pierced her eardrum, the pain penetrated into her heart, the pain was so devastating that she couldn't breathe.
His hands were clenched into a ball, and even though he had no strength at the moment, he still felt pain in his palms.
She slowly, slowly raised her eyes and looked at him.
The man in front of me is Lou Xi, but it doesn't seem to be him. He is still the tall, tall, handsome man, but he is different. He is actually shrinking!
His expression and tone were as calm and calm as before, but his eyes betrayed him.
The moment their eyes met, Ye Xingchen suddenly smiled and sneered, and then he was not surprised to see his stunned expression.
"Lou Xi, don't forget, we are married in the military, and I am also a soldier. Although you are from the special forces, I am just a doctor in the military hospital. Our natures are completely different. Your military rank is several levels higher than mine. You have the absolute
Advantage, but according to the regulations, if you want to divorce, you must get my consent. And I tell you now, I don’t agree! Never, never agree! If you have to divorce, then try to find fault with me.
Well, unless I make a serious mistake, you will never divorce me from this marriage! Even if we go to a military court, I will never let go!"
She stared at him hard, with anger and accusation in her eyes, as if he didn't want her anymore, and she was desperate for him!
Lou Xi was a little stunned. He saw that she was like a cat whose tail was suddenly stepped on, and the hair on her body suddenly exploded. Her fierce gaze even made him a little afraid, so that he stammered, "Xing, Xingchen
...I...don't want you...I don't want to leave either..."
"If you don't want to leave, just take back what you just said!" She stepped forward, stood on tiptoes, grabbed his collar with both hands, and used the most ferocious strength in her life, and shouted, "If you don't take it back, I will fight with you."
It’s not over! I took Sisi to the Special Forces Brigade. I risked my life and stopped going to work. I lived there every day. I would go with you wherever you went! If you run, I will run, if you shoot, I will shoot. When you go on a mission, I will follow you.
Go along! I will annoy you to death and pester you to death! If unfortunately you are in danger, I will make you heartbroken and regretful! I will do what I say, just wait and see!"
Ye Xingchen gritted his teeth, but his tears fell uncontrollably.
Lou Xi looked at her crying and crying, and suddenly felt at a loss. It was the first time he saw her fierce side, but he also saw the strength behind her weakness. Her slender body was condensed with energy.
With an unimaginable determination, it even made him feel horrified. He would feel something heavy, a little scared, a little desolate, a little uneasy, complicated and derived.
Her tearful face was filled with moisture and traces of grief, but the gentle rain nourished the confused man, squeezing and restraining him. She could be as gentle as water, or as strong as...
Iron can be like a raging fire, burning him to pieces but willingly.
Unknowingly, there is something so heavy that it can no longer be separated from life. Her smile, her tears, her voice, a little tenderness, a little lingering, a little gratitude, are all so warm, so hard to let go, I just want to
Place it well, securely and melancholy.
He hugged her and stroked her back with his big hands. She was crying hard and angry. Her back was rising and falling, and the unbalanced frequency made his heart tremble.
Then, he heard his own voice, the most cowardly in his life, "I take it back, do you still want me?"
"Yes!" Ye Xingchen nodded vigorously, as if she was afraid that he would regret it, and immediately put her arms around his neck. The fresh and delicious masculine scent lingered lightly on the tip of her nose and reached the bottom of her heart.
"..." She choked and couldn't say more. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. One after another, they fell quickly and disappeared quickly. They were as bright as meteors and disappeared without a trace, but they were more beautiful than any other in this time.
Everything is precious, every drop is so crystal clear, wet between the eyebrows, hurt in the heart.
They are very happy, aren't they? Even if they don't have children, they can still live happily, not to mention they still have Sisi. Whether they have biological children or not is not that important, the important thing is that they can continue to live a good life.
Children are the inheritance of blood, but they are also the crystallization of love. They have love, and this is more important than anything else.
And they still have hope now. Although it is very small, it is still possible. The 20% chance is actually quite high, one in five. It is like a person stretching out a hand and finding one of the five fingers.
One root. No matter how difficult life is, in the end, you will find the person you are willing to be with.
Lou Xi held her hand tightly. Every finger of hers was light and soft. In this life, what he wanted to love most was the person in front of him, but he could not give her complete happiness. However, he would
effort!
Rationality was cold, but he was reluctant to give up after all. He gently stroked her hair and said seriously, "I will listen to you, and I will do whatever you say."
"That's pretty much it!" Ye Xingchen raised his head, his eyes warm.
Lou Xi lowered his head and looked at her red eyes, as cute as a little rabbit.
In fact, he is not afraid, he just doesn't want her to work too hard, but she is not afraid, so what right does he have to be afraid?
◎◎◎
They returned to the consulting room, sat in front of the doctor again, filled out the form, and made an appointment.
After leaving the hospital, the two of them walked on the way to the kindergarten.
Walking along the green path, a cool breeze passed by, the hazy sky revealed gaps in the blue, and the two people's hands were tightly clasped together.
Life is like this road. In fact, what they are afraid of is not the long road, but that you will not be there when I reach the end.
When they arrived at the kindergarten, they picked up Sisi. The little girl's sweet smile soothed their sadness.
So they firmly believed that they were already very happy to have such a lovely little angel by their side. If they could have another one, that would be the icing on the cake. If not, they would not be sorry.
So, forget those unhappy things. How can they be happy if they keep thinking about sad things? People must look forward no matter when and where they are. Only the front is hope and the future.
"Where are my marshmallows?" The little girl looked at their empty hands helplessly.
Ye Xingchen and Lou Xi suddenly remembered that they had forgotten their promise to Sisi!
"Sisi, be good, mom and dad will take you shopping now, okay?"
"good!"
Each of them took one of the little girl's hands, and those thin, soft little fingers made their hearts swell.
The man is handsome and tall, the woman is pretty and clean, and the sweet and cute little girl frequently attracts the envious eyes of passers-by.
The family of three went shopping outside and bought some groceries. After returning home, as usual, Ye Xingchen went into the kitchen to cook, while Lou Xi accompanied Sisi to do her homework. Kindergarten homework is naturally not too formal.
She was just drawing a picture or something. The little girl held the paintbrush awkwardly and moved it crookedly left and right on the picture book. The paint on the brush made her little hands dirty, but the little girl never tired of it.
Soon, the meal was ready. There were several plates of home-cooked food on the dining table, and there was a faint aroma of food in the air. This ordinary meal seemed to be more delicious than any famous brand cuisine for three people.
, not only filled their stomachs, but also nourished the barrenness and desolation in their hearts.
Their desire for home and pursuit of happiness are all satisfied here.
After dinner, Lou Xi put away the dishes and Ye Xingchen watched cartoons with Sisi. Half an hour later, the three of them went downstairs for a walk. After returning from the walk, they took turns washing up and turning off the lights to sleep.
Everything has not changed, and it remains as it should be. This is the ordinaryness and greatness of life.
In the children's room, the little girl hugged the little bear and fell asleep soundly, snoring softly and cutely.
The master bedroom opposite was also dark. Ye Xingchen habitually snuggled into Lou Xi's arms, resting his head on his arm. He lowered his head, kissed her forehead gently, and said in a low voice, "Good night."
Ye Xingchen opened her eyes in surprise. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from him. She was sad and worried. She didn't know what to say, but she felt that there was no need to deliberately change between them.
The hands under the quilt took the initiative to wrap their arms around his waist, with some hint.
He held her face and turned all the love and apology in his heart into the deepest kiss.
In the dark moonlit night, they were closely united, eager to use the most direct way to express their deep feelings for each other. Every inch of their bodies were closely attached to each other, eager to use this method to heal the pain.
The scars left by the storm.
She wrapped her slender legs around his body and asked in a small, broken voice, "Lou Xi, how many people are we?"
"Alone..." He kissed her lips lovingly and completely integrated into her body, sincerely and without reservation.
They firmly believe that they and each other are both a circle with a corner missing, and only by meeting each other can they become a perfect circle.

The following days were peaceful and busy.
IVF is a very complicated process, and it is not something that can be accomplished overnight. The doctor made a detailed plan for them. Before officially starting, they must have a period of adjustment, and this adjustment includes both physiological aspects.
Also includes psychological aspects.
Lou Xi knew the importance of this, so even if he couldn't get away some weekends, he would rarely ask for personal leave from the captain. Because the recruit training was on track, he asked the captain to watch the recruits practice on his behalf.
No problem either.
Ye Xingchen also adjusted his work and rest schedule. He spent a week working continuous night shifts, completing the night shifts for the next few months at once, and then began a stable life of working five days a week.
Because she works in a hospital, she can often hear conversations between colleagues and patients or family members. For example, a nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department said that the mother-in-law of a pregnant woman in a certain ward is a particularly superstitious person.
Before my daughter-in-law gave birth, she went to a temple to burn incense in order to pray that her daughter-in-law would give her a grandson. As expected, the pregnant woman gave birth to a boy.
Of course, medical staff only heard this kind of thing as a joke. Ye Xingchen also knew that it was unscientific, but she would rather believe it. Then she also found time to go to the temple. She knelt down in front of the Buddha statue to pray devoutly, and first asked
The Buddha forgave her for being a temporary helper, and then prayed to the Buddha to give them a child, a boy or a girl, as long as they were healthy.
She also bought a cross-stitch online, with a picture of the Hundred Sons on it. She meditated silently in her mind while embroidering it stitch by stitch. After the embroidery was completed, she put it on a pillow and slept with it on it every night.
Even when she had nothing to do every day, she would touch the jade bracelet on her hand and pray while touching it. Her mother-in-law said that this bracelet was passed down from generation to generation, and jade is a spiritual thing, so she thought it would definitely bless them.
of.
She didn't know if it was useful, but she thought it would be better to do it than not to do it. She would rather believe that it was useful, because only by believing could there be hope.

Forty days later, Ye Xingchen and Lou Xi went to the hospital again. Today they needed to have a final checkup. If everything was normal, they could start the official IVF attempt.
Because they had to undergo an examination, they didn't eat anything in the morning, or even drink water. They had blood drawn, urine tests, B-ultrasound and other examinations. The two of them sat in the corridor waiting with their fingers intertwined.
This time, their moods have been calm for a long time. The two of them chatted lightly and discussed where they would go for a big meal. They had not eaten for most of the day and were really hungry!
Finally, all the test results came out, and the doctor invited them into the clinic for an interview.
As soon as they walked in, Ye Xingchen and Lou Xi felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. The old professor who was calm, calm, and amiable unexpectedly stood up uncharacteristically, wearing reading glasses and staring at them. His eyes were wrong.
Subconsciously, both of them were a little flustered.
"Yes...are there any new questions?" Ye Xingchen asked impatiently.
The old professor nodded blankly, "I think you don't need to do in vitro fertilization anymore, you..."
What? No need? You haven’t tried it even once! Is there no hope at all?
Ye Xingchen's head suddenly went blank and she felt a little dizzy. Lou Xi stabilized her in time and held her weak body in his arms, "Xingchen, are you okay?"
"Hey, let her lie down quickly!" the doctor said nervously.
Lou Xi picked up Ye Xingchen in confusion and laid her down on the small bed in the clinic. Seeing her weak appearance, he couldn't help but feel confused. The old professor's warning sounded in his ears, "You must take good care of yourself in the next nine months."
Take care of her!"
Nine months?
Lou Xi suddenly felt that his ability to understand had become worse. Why did he find the doctor's words so inexplicable? He couldn't understand them at all!
"What do you mean..." Ye Xingchen opened his eyes instantly, looking at the doctor with incredible anticipation.
The old professor smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Right? Right to what?
Lou Xi was still confused.
"Ah... Lou Xi, pinch me quickly to see if I'm dreaming!" Ye Xingchen took his hand and pinched his face.
"Xingchen, are you okay?" Lou Xi looked at her abnormally with worry.
"Lou Xi, I'm pregnant! We have a baby!" Ye Xingchen grabbed his hand excitedly. She knew she should laugh at this time, but she really couldn't control the tears of joy. It was so good. They
Have a baby!
Lou Xi was stunned. He never expected such a result.
"Is this...is it true?" He just found it incredible. Didn't it mean that the chance of natural conception was only 1%? They had tried hard for so long before and couldn't get it, so why did it happen in more than a month?
"The test sheets are all here, you can take a look at them yourself." The doctor smiled and handed him a dozen sheets. In fact, she also found it incredible. 1% beat 99%, which is already amazing in itself, and in such a situation.
She got pregnant in a short period of time, which can be called a miracle. There is no need to investigate how such a miracle happened. Maybe it was because they were destined to have this child, or maybe it was God's mercy towards them.
Lou Xi's surprise was followed by surprise, but what followed was worry. Of course he was happy that they had a child, and he was even more happy that Xingchen no longer had to suffer the pain of in vitro fertilization, but he was worried about the child's health.
Because in his situation, the possibility of fetal abnormalities will be much higher than that of normal people, but he will not express this concern because he knows how difficult this little life is to come.
One day will eventually pass. Since God has given them the opportunity to be parents, he will definitely give them a healthy baby.
His hand gently touched her belly, where a little life was already being gestated.
This surprise is a gift from God to them. No matter what, they should be grateful and cherish it.
Ye Xingchen was so happy that he forgot everything else. He only felt that such a surprise could be attributed to four words - sincerity leads to spiritual success.
◎◎◎
In line with the principle of caution, Lou Xi did not inform anyone about Ye Xingchen's pregnancy. Ye Xingchen also regained his sense as a doctor after the initial surprise. Both of them carefully protected their little ones.
Baby, one week, two weeks, one month, two months... Finally after the most unstable first three months, they breathed a sigh of relief. The baby's development was all normal.
Three months into her pregnancy, Ye Xingchen's belly began to protrude, and Lou Xi began to think about another thing. He still owed Xingchen a wedding!
Originally it was supposed to be held in Beijing during the Chinese New Year last year, but at that time the past about the car accident unexpectedly came up, so it was delayed. But now she can't put it off any longer, otherwise her belly will get bigger and bigger and she won't even be able to wear a wedding dress.
Moreover, he has to be in the army most of the time. Xingchen is at home alone with a bulging belly and has to take care of Sisi. He cannot rest assured about this. However, it is not convenient to take them to the army. Pregnant women need
Get some good rest, the sound of bugles in the military camp every day will probably disturb her.
So after much deliberation, he had no choice but to call his mother back to Beijing for help.
On the other end of the phone, Han Fengyi was so happy that she opened her mouth from ear to ear when she heard that Xingchen was pregnant, and immediately said, "I'll go to Yunchuan right away!"
"Mom, that's not necessary. You should prepare for the wedding in Beijing first. I will take Xingchen back in a few days."
"Okay, okay, then I'll find someone to check the date first! Then I'll book a hotel, send out invitations and so on... Oops, there's a lot to do!" Han Fengyi had a headache just thinking about it, but she was happy with it.
After Lou Xi spoke to his mother, he dialed his father's phone number. At this moment, Lou Yicheng was busy in the military area. After hearing the call transferred by the guard, he was very unhappy and asked in an angry tone, "What's the matter?"
?”
Lou Xi was very calm and said in a notifying tone, "Dad, please spare some time. Xingchen and I are going back for the wedding soon."
While looking at the military map, Lou Yicheng said absently, "If you don't do it sooner or later, what's the hurry now?"
Lou Xi replied calmly, "I'm not in a hurry. I'm afraid that your grandson will be."
What? Grandson?
Lou Yicheng was immediately dumbfounded, "Hey, Lou Xi, please explain it clearly, hey...hey hey...hey hey hey?"
Toot toot—
The phone was disconnected.
At the same time, Shu Rao naturally received the good news, holding the phone and happily said, "Oh, that's great, I'm going to be a godmother again!"
On the side, the little devil rolled his eyes. Of course she is happy that her aunt is pregnant, but Niuer, can you have some big ambitions? Are you satisfied with just being a godmother? When will you give me a brother?
