Be a strict mother, okay?"

Shu Rao pouted and deliberately retorted, "Then am I not a stepmother who abuses her daughter?"

Lou Yi lowered his head and kissed the tears from the corner of her eyes, and smiled softly, "She chose you as her stepmother. Besides, you are her idol. She will definitely listen to what you say!"

Shu Rao recalled that when the little devil witnessed her slapping Lou Yi at the airport, not only did he not blame her, he actually admired her, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The little devil is indeed different. I don’t know what the structure of her head is, but one thing is very important, that is, the little devil loves her father very much, and also loves her as a girl!

"Don't worry, our family of three will be very happy in the future!" she said firmly.

"Only a family of three? The little devil doesn't seem to think so!" He meant something.

Shu Rao's face turned red, and two shy blushes appeared on her cheeks.

Lou Yi was so moved that he hugged her tightly and kissed her, while Shu Rao also fell towards him. One of them was like a harbor and the other was like a boat. After meeting, they no longer have to wander around.

In the small tent, another lingering romance, gentle and crazy, soon unfolded.

◎◎◎

When Ye Xingchen was seven months pregnant, Lou Xi finally made a trip back to Beijing despite his busy schedule.

When he came in, Ye Xingchen was taking a nap. As her pregnancy entered the middle and late stages, her physical strength was not as good as before. Her belly was as round as a ball, and when covered with a quilt, it looked like a hill.

Lou Xi gently pushed open the door of the room, and when his eyes touched the hill, a horrified expression appeared on his handsome face.

Even on the battlefield, facing countless enemies, he remained calm, but when facing her bulging belly, his heart suddenly felt a little sour.

He hadn't seen her for several months, and her belly was already so big. He saw that her face was still thin, and he could imagine that her body under the quilt was as thin as before except for her belly. It seemed that the child in her belly was really

It tormented her to pieces.

Most of her long hair has been cut short, and she looks younger, but she is already a mother of two children.

Sisi slept quietly next to her. The bed was very big. The little girl was lying very, very obediently on the other side. Maybe she was afraid of touching her belly, so she no longer clung to her arms like before, but

He was sleeping on his side, with his hands on his face and a sweet smile.

The breathing of both mother and daughter was gentle and soft, giving him a feeling of peace.

"Dad..." Sisi suddenly murmured in her sleep.

"Baby, be good, daddy will be back..." Ye Xingchen also murmured in his sleep, but he was talking to the child in his belly.

Lou Xi's heart suddenly tightened. Seeing them miss him while sleeping, he felt unspeakable pain in his heart.

He really left them behind for too long!

"Well..." Ye Xingchen suddenly let out a slight groan, as if he was feeling uncomfortable.

"Xingchen, what's wrong with you?" Lou Xi approached nervously.

Hearing the sound, Ye Xingchen seemed to be in disbelief, thinking that he was still in a dream. When he opened his eyes, he found that the person he thought about day and night was really in front of him!

"Lou Xi? When will you return..." Before she could finish her words, she said "Oh" again.

"What's wrong? Where do you feel pain?" he asked nervously.

Ye Xingchen moved his right leg, gritted his teeth and replied, "My calf is cramped."

At the end of pregnancy, it is easy for calf cramps after seven months, sometimes in thighs or toes. The reason is that pregnant women gradually gain weight during pregnancy, and the burden on their legs increases, and the leg muscles are often in a state of fatigue. In addition, pregnancy

Finally, the demand for calcium also increases significantly. If calcium is lacking, it will also cause cramps.

Lou Xi hurriedly stepped forward, half-knelt beside the bed, put his hands into the quilt, and massaged her, with tenderness and guilt.

After kneading the tangled muscles, he fetched a basin of hot water and washed her feet with his own hands.

Ye Xingchen's heart skipped a beat and he bit his lip hesitantly. He always felt that this behavior for him was too intimate, but when he saw the man with a tall figure, a serious expression, and his whole body full of perseverance and strength, he knelt down and gently kissed her.

Washing your feet is not only not obtrusive at all, but also full of charming charm.

Lou Xi raised his eyes slightly, met her smiling eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on his thin lips.

"Can you do me one more favor?" She asked softly, pointing to the medicine bottle next to her, which contained calcium tablets for pregnant women.

"Yes, Madam Colonel!" He deliberately joked, quickly wiped his hands, and handed her the medicine bottle and water glass.

Ye Xingchen smiled softly, took calcium tablets, and then asked him to help her put the medicine bottle and water cup back.

In fact, she could do these things herself, because the things were placed on the bedside table, which was very convenient. But she knew that he wanted to take care of her, but he didn't have time to do anything for her, so she created opportunities for him, even if it was just for a moment.

Little things are good and can give him comfort.

And Lou Xi cherishes this opportunity very much, because what he can do is really limited, what he knows is limited, and his time is even more limited.

"How long can you stay at home?" she asked expectantly.

Lou Xi paused slightly while wiping her feet. Before he could enjoy the joy of reunion, he already said goodbye again, "I'll leave tonight."

Ye Xingchen forced a smile and said calmly, "There's still half a day left, not bad!"

Lou Xi also smiled hard, wishing that time could stop here and condense this half day into half a year and forever.

"By the way, look at my hair, does it look good?" Ye Xingchen brushed her short hair.

"nice."

"What about here?" She pointed to her deformed waist.

"It looks good too."

ah?

Ye Xingchen looked at him lightly and said, "Lou Xi, you've learned so badly that you can actually lie!"

Lou Xi couldn't help but put down the towel, sat on the bedside, wrapped one hand around her thickened waist, and pressed it against his chest.

In fact, he didn't lie. Although her waist became thicker, it was because her belly was pregnant with their child. Because it was the curve of life, no matter how unsightly it was, it was still the most beautiful. It was so beautiful that it took his breath away.

.

"There are still three months, right?" he asked expectantly.

"Yeah." She nodded happily.

In three months, the little one will be born, and there is a new member in their family!

"I have to beat him up before he is born!" Lou Xi said angrily, this child is so shameful, what a mess it has made of his stars!

Ye Xingchen curled his eyes. She didn't believe that he was really willing to beat her. This child was extremely precious to them!

For half a day, they rubbed each other's cheeks together, and they couldn't bear to miss every minute and every second, because the reunion was too short and the separation was too long.

When Lou Xi left, Ye Xingchen only waved to him, but did not say "goodbye" because he was reluctant to say it.

Lou Xi strode back, hugged her tightly and for a long time, and then kissed her again, deeply and seriously.

◎◎◎

Ye Xingchen entered the tenth month of pregnancy, and Lou Xi had another chance to return to Beijing, but he did not go back because he wanted to save his vacation and wanted to wait with her for a few more days when she gave birth, so he would rather suffer first

Sweet afterwards.

Ye Xingchen also agreed with his idea. After all, giving birth to a child is like passing through the gate of hell for a woman. Although she has made enough psychological preparations, she still hopes that he can be by her side to give her courage and strength.

And she also hopes that when the baby is born, he can be the first person to hold the baby, because he is also looking forward to the arrival of the baby.

The due date is getting closer and closer, and Lou Xi spends every day waiting and suffering.

When one day, he received a call from home saying that Xingchen had been admitted to the hospital to give birth, he immediately asked for leave and went straight to the airport.

The paternity leave given to him by the army, plus the vacation he had accumulated, totaled nine days, and the doctor predicted that the baby would be born within seven days. He thought that he could definitely accompany her into the delivery room.

However, things were not as perfect as he imagined.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

"Xingchen, why aren't you giving birth yet? This is already the sixth day!" Lou Xi looked worried at Ye Xingchen's round belly.

Ye Xingchen was also confused, "I don't know either. I don't feel like I'm about to give birth, but the doctor said everything is normal!"

Lou Xi was so anxious that he broke out in sweat, "I have to leave tomorrow night. What will you do if you are still alive?"

"It's okay, you can go on your own. Mom and Sister Lin are here. They are both experienced. Besides, there are so many doctors and nurses." She quickly comforted him, but she was also confused.

Lou Xi stared hard at her belly and yelled: Little guy, come out as soon as possible tomorrow, or I will really beat you!

But the little guy in his belly seemed to be deliberately against him. The next night, he was still safe and sound.

Lou Xi was so angry that he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to carry his luggage and return to Yunchuan helplessly.

In the next few days, Ye Xingchen's stomach remained silent. Lou Xi was so anxious that he couldn't eat or sleep every day, and his whole body was like an ant on a hot pot.

Finally, in the middle of the night, the little soldier in the communications room knocked on his door, "Batalion Commander, there's a call from Beijing, saying that my sister-in-law is going to give birth!"

Hearing the sound, Lou Xi sat up and put on his pants. He put on his clothes while running. Using the unique marching speed of special forces, he ran downstairs and rushed to the airport in one breath.

After arriving at the airport, there were no tickets left. He paid five times the price, bought a ticket from a passenger, changed the procedures, and rushed to the plane.

After rushing to the hospital in a hurry, I saw Ye Xingchen lying peacefully in the ward, with his belly still so big!

"No, aren't you about to give birth?"
