When she didn't hear a response from him, the girl panicked a little.
"Brother, are you still there? You didn't faint, did you?"
"No." Si Nian closed his eyes tiredly and said softly: "I'm very tired and want to take a nap."
"No, you must not sleep!"
The girl knocked on the wall wildly, trying to wake him up, "You are so seriously injured. If you fall asleep and the wound bleeds too much, you may never wake up again!"
Si Nian was amused.
He had been training in the army with Ji Yuting since he was a child. His physical condition could not be so bad, and he would not die so easily.
But she was the first stranger besides Ji Yuting and Shengge who cared about him so much, and he still felt warm in his heart.
"Big brother? Are you really asleep? Or are you about to die?"
The sound of banging on the wall came again.
"No......"
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, "If you are really sleepy, I can talk to you, and I can also tell you stories!"
"Can you tell ghost stories?"
"Um...aren't we just a ghost story now?"
Si Nian's eyes trembled weakly, he looked around the cell and smiled.
Indeed, it's quite eerie.
"Brother, I can tell funny jokes!"
"It's cold enough in the dungeon."
"My jokes can be colder than this!"
"..."
The more the two chatted, the more they fell in love with each other, and they chatted for more than half an hour.
The chat didn't end until the doctor Ning Chengxu called to give Xi Nian medicine arrived.
...
Ning Chengxu sent Shengge back to the small apartment in the suburbs again.
Narrow her range of activities from the entire apartment to just her room.
Shengge didn't complain or be dissatisfied. She just asked him for two parenting books to pass the boring time these days.
In terms of food, Ning Chengxu did his best to meet her requirements.
Because Shengge was only two and a half weeks pregnant, she was already suffering from morning sickness, drowsiness and other obvious symptoms of excessive progesterone. Ning Chengxu helped her hire a female gynecologist who would come to her home every afternoon to check her physical condition and provide appropriate treatment.
...
At noon, Ning Chengxu was called over by the eldest princess.
"Mother."
He stood neatly in front of the eldest princess across the coffee table.
The eldest princess put down the coffee cup in her hand and said with a solemn expression, "Tell me honestly, is the child in the belly of Miss Lu you brought here yours?"
Ning Chengxu was stunned for a moment, staring at the ground, and then answered, "Yes."
"You still want to protect her and not tell the truth?"
The eldest princess became so angry that she knocked over the unfinished coffee cup on the coffee table and accidentally splashed coffee stains on her hands.
There is a carpet under the coffee table, so there is not much movement.
When Ning Chengxu saw this, he immediately walked around the coffee table, squatted at her feet, and wiped her hands with a wet wipe.
The eldest princess glanced at his obedient and filial appearance, her anger dissipated a lot, and she said seriously:
