Chapter 60 Chapter 60
Lin Ru rolled up his sleeves and wrote a prescription on the table. He called the waiter to get the medicine. Then he washed his hands and said with a smile, "Manager Gu is already one month pregnant... Your family is going to have a baby!"
Lin Ru's medical skills are top-notch in Xinglin Academy, so there will definitely be no misdiagnosis... Huo Duan felt his head was dizzy, his heart was soft, his nose was sore, and he almost cried with joy.
He was going to be a daddy.
"Great! That's great! My uncle and my parents will definitely be happy to hear this!" Upon hearing this, Ye Shan ran out of the door excitedly before Huo Duan could react, "I'll go back and tell them the good news!"
It's raining heavily outside.
Huo Duan quickly grabbed Ye Shan and said, "Brother, it's raining outside, there's no rush to go back..." He looked at Gu Fengyan, who was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, and frowned, "Ayan hasn't woken up yet, let's wait until the rain stops."
The rain had been accumulating for seven or eight days and was so heavy that most of the white door curtains were soaked, and water was dripping from the corners.
Ye Shan glanced at it, scratched his head and said with a smile: "See how excited I am that I can't remember anything. Then let's wait for Brother Yan to wake up and go back together."
With the sound of stepping on water, the medicine boy lifted the door curtain, took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and handed it to Lin Ru, "Sir, the medicine is here."
"Why don't you hold an umbrella? What will happen if the medicine gets wet in the rain?" Lin Ru wiped his hands, took the oil-paper bag, and scolded the boy.
"There are five umbrellas in the hall. Mr. Li took two when he went to see patients. The rest are being used by the brothers... I have been protecting this medicine in my arms, so it has not gotten wet." The waiter wiped the water droplets off his sleeves and said with a smile, "Having a baby is a great joy... Sir, please forgive me this time for the sake of the two bosses."
Lin Ru looked around and saw that the medicine was indeed not wet, so he smiled and shook his head, "You are the only one who is smooth-talking... why don't you go and heat the medicine furnace."
The waiter responded and hurried outside to light the medicine furnace under the eaves.
Huo Duan sat down beside the bed and tucked in the quilt for Gu Fengyan, and he was worried, "Mr. Lin, although A Yan is pregnant, why did she suddenly faint and become unconscious... What happened?"
Huo Duan was a new father and had only a vague understanding of pregnancy reactions, not to mention that Gu Fengyan was a man, so the situation was even more different.
Lin Ru stroked his beard and asked him a few questions... mostly about whether he ate well, how he slept, whether his taste had changed, etc.
Huo Duan answered them one by one without any hesitation.
"That's it," Lin Ru said with a smile, "He fainted because of the great consumption during pregnancy, the deficiency of Qi and blood, and the laziness and sleepiness... Boss Huo, don't worry. The medicine I prescribed is also for nourishing Qi and blood. When he wakes up, just give it to him."
Huo Duan finally understood... Gu Fengyan turned out to have low blood sugar, and he fell asleep, which was why he was unconscious.
I was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He held Gu Fengyan's hand and said, "Thank you, Manager Lin. I will watch over him here and give him the medicine when he wakes up."
Lin Ru turned out of the door and went to the front hall. In order to leave the two of them alone, Ye Shan went outside the house to help the waiter boil medicine.
Outside the window, heavy rain hits the leaves, making a cool sound; inside the room, Gu Fengyan takes a long breath.
Huo Duan held Gu Fengyan's hand, staring at him without moving his eyes away...Finally, he lowered his eyes, leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
The rain kept pouring down for quite a while, and it only stopped a little when it was almost dark. Gu Fengyan's medicine was simmering on the stove, and Huo Duan was guarding by the bed. When Ye Shan saw that the rain had stopped, he went back to the village with Xue Da to tell Huo's father and the Ye family the good news.
Up to this moment, Huo Duan hadn't eaten a single bite of food, as if he wasn't feeling hungry at all.
But he was worried that Gu Fengyan would be hungry when he woke up, so he asked the waiter in the pharmacy to bring back some light porridge and a few side dishes from the alley next door.
The porridge was simmering on the stove, steaming, and the whole room was filled with the tempting rice aroma.
Lin Ru came over and asked about the situation, and told him to wake Gu Fengyan up if he didn't wake up before dark. Huo Duan opened the window and took a look at the sky... It was foggy and rainy outside, and water was pouring down on the rain chains at the eaves. The top of the mountain was dim, and it was almost dark.
He closed the window again, walked to the couch, and half-carried Gu Fengyan, "Ayan, get up and eat, and go back home to sleep."
Gu Fengyan's eyes were sore and his eyelids were drooping. He was very unhappy to be woken up. He frowned and rubbed his eyes when he saw that it was Huo Duan. "Is this Xinglinyuan? What time is it?"
He still remembered that he fainted, and he guessed that Huo Duan took him to see a doctor.
Seeing that he was fine, Huo Duan smiled and whispered, "It's almost dark, are you hungry? I bought you some porridge and some side dishes. Let's go eat after we get dressed."
He smelled the fragrance of rice before he woke up... He was hungry at that time, but he was too sleepy to open his eyes.
Gu Fengyan nodded and leaned over to the end of the bed to pull off his coat. Huo Duan was afraid that he would fold it in the stomach, so he quickly pulled it over and said, "Don't move. I'll put it on for you."
She carefully put his coat on him and asked, "Are you cold? It's raining outside. Do you want to put on more clothes?"
Gu Fengyan saw him busying around and felt something was wrong... When he woke up, Huo Duan not only did not explain to him why he fainted, he also served him so attentively, even helping him put on his clothes himself.
Could it be some terminal illness? Gu Fengyan thought of the medical level of this era and immediately felt that this was not impossible.
"Not cold." He was calm and composed, his face solemn. "What did Mr. Lin tell you? What happened to me?"
Huo Duanzheng bent down to get his shoes. He paused when he heard this and became a little nervous... He wondered how Gu Fengyan would react when she knew that he was pregnant.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to wait until after dinner to tell him.
"Ayan is not sick, he is in good health... Let me put on your shoes, can you eat first?" he said with a smile.
He held Gu Fengyan's slender ankle and put on her shoes.
The two of them came to the table... This room is the guest room of Xinglinyuan, which is convenient for Mr. Tangzhong to stay overnight when the weather is bad, and it is fully furnished.
Huo Duan laid out the side dishes one by one, brought the porridge that was warming by the stove and served a bowl to Gu Fengyan, "Eat it while it's hot."
When Gu Fengyan saw him taking the porridge, there was a bowl of black medicine on the stove...it certainly couldn't be someone else's.
If you are not sick, why do you need to take medicine?
He was completely confused. He picked up a piece of pickled cucumber shreds with chopsticks and drank the porridge absentmindedly.
When Huo Duan saw that she had a poor appetite due to pregnancy, he put down his chopsticks and asked carefully, "What's wrong? Is the food not tasty? What does A Yan want to eat? I'll go buy it now."
After saying that, he took the umbrella from the windowsill and was about to go out.
Seeing how big a fuss he made, Gu Fengyan didn't dare to have any more wild thoughts... Huo Duan was going to talk about it after dinner anyway.
"No, don't go. Come and get some food for me." He smiled.
Huo Duan saw that he started to eat with his chopsticks frequently, so he sat down again and served him some food.
Gu Fengyan ate as much as he could and finished the bowl of porridge quickly. Huo Duan was afraid that he would have indigestion, so he only gave him half a bowl more.
He didn't eat either, but just talked to Gu Fengyan from time to time, picking some non-greasy dishes for him.
There was a plate of pickled green peppers on the table, which were sour and spicy. Gu Fengyan liked them very much and ate half of them. Huo Duan was afraid that he would upset his stomach, so he only gave him some cucumber shreds.
Gu Fengyan was about to pick up his chopsticks again, but Huo Duan stopped him, "It's too spicy, it hurts your stomach, you might not be able to sleep at night."
"This pickled vegetable is really good, sour and spicy..." Gu Fengyan was a little sullen, picking at a few cucumber shreds in the bowl with grievance.
Huo Duan felt distressed and wanted to laugh. He sighed and pushed the plate of pickled peppers in front of him, "Enough is enough, Ayan."
“I know.” Gu Fengyan smiled like a raccoon… He didn’t like spicy food before, but it was strange recently.
With that dish, Gu Fengyan quickly finished half a bowl of rice porridge, put down his chopsticks, and looked at the dense rain outside the window.
Two yellow orioles with wet feathers were hiding among the pomegranate branches and grooming each other's feathers.
Huo Duan had just picked up his chopsticks and finished the rice in the bowl. He was cleaning up, "Wait until you have digested the food, then take the medicine. Mr. Lin prescribed it. He said it can warm up the qi and blood, and it will be good for you and..."
Her face suddenly turned red, and she coughed, "It's good for the child."
After saying this, he looked at Gu Fengyan and waited for his reaction. He was very nervous, and his entire chest was shaking with his heartbeat.
A pair of yellow orioles chirped, and Gu Fengyan was so fascinated by them that he said casually, "I know, let's leave it there for now..."
Soon, he realized...Who did Huo Duan say it would benefit?
"Child?!" He suddenly stood up, his pupils widened in shock.
Flutter - two little yellow orioles were startled and flew up from the pomegranate branches, passing over the eaves.
Gu Fengyan calmed down a bit, sat down and asked again, "What child?"
"Ayan, Mr. Lin has seen you..." Huo Duan put down what he was holding, walked over, and said in a gentle voice, "You are already one month pregnant... Ayan is going to be a father."
Gu Fengyan was so shocked that he couldn't speak, "What?"
No wonder, no wonder he was always weak and sleepy some time ago, ate more than usual, and started to gain weight in his waist and abdomen.
It turns out it’s all because of this.
"Are you unhappy?" Huo Duan poured him some water with trembling hands.
Gu Fengyan was annoyed, snatched the water and glared at Huo Duan, "Fuck it, come and try it!"
He was actually pregnant.
It’s all Huo Duan’s fault!
It’s not that he doesn’t like the child, he’s just very shocked and not even mentally prepared. After all, he has never been a parent, and with the birth of a child, Gu Fengyan is not sure he can raise him well.
Huo Duan smiled, leaned over to Gu Fengyan, and felt extremely distressed. He wished he didn't have this child. "It's my fault. I made Ah Yan suffer for ten months... Can we never have another child again?"
After being shocked, Gu Fengyan accepted it and glanced at Huo Duan indifferently, "Do you still want it?"
Huo Duan grabbed his hand and kissed it, smiling like a big dog, "One is enough, if there are more, my A Yan will not belong to me anymore..."
"Don't be so ungrateful after getting such an advantage!" Gu Fengyan scolded with a smile.
It feels wonderful.
He stroked his still flat belly, "Is there really a child here?"
Huo Duan nodded against his hand, stroking it from time to time, and said sternly to Gu Fengyan's lower abdomen, "You little thing, don't mess with your little daddy in the future. If you do something wrong, I'll beat you up!"
A one-month-old baby hasn't even grown a full nose or eyes yet, so naturally, it's impossible for him to have any reaction...
Gu Fengyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What nonsense are you talking about? He hasn't even grown up yet, do you expect him to respond to you?"
"Education starts from childhood. You have to tell him this every day to prevent him from tormenting you in the future." Huo Duan smiled and kissed his lower abdomen through his clothes.
Gu Fengyan's ears turned red, and he pushed his lowered head away, "What are you doing... Be careful of the impact!"
"Ayan..." Huo Duan chuckled, looking up with a gleam in his eyes, "Let's learn to be parents together, okay?"
Only at this moment did Gu Fengyan understand...it turned out that Huo Duan was as nervous as he was, afraid that he would not be able to take good care of this unborn baby.
After a pause, Gu Fengyan nodded vigorously, "Okay."
