CHAPTER 444: CHAPTER 150 DAILY LIFE_3
Every morning, Yiyi and Er Er wouldn’t go downstairs immediately after waking up. Instead, they would play around in the nursery for a while. Once it was almost time for breakfast, Ke Xing would carry them down.
Miao Miao was still studying at Blue Star University. According to Du Xixi’s few secret observations, the political economics course load was surprisingly heavy, and even Miao Miao was buried in the library and classrooms all day, looking more like a "bookworm" than before when she was at the Ke Family.
Fortunately, Miao Miao now had a roommate to keep her company. Du Xixi watched coldly and noticed that Miao Miao got along well with that roommate, often eating together, studying together, and returning to the dorm together like close sisters.
At that moment, Du Xixi suddenly felt a bit of comfort in her heart, feeling that the child she had raised by her side had finally grown up and knew how to make friends.
Du Xixi did not disturb Miao Miao’s studies but would occasionally have Mechanical Soldiers deliver letters. If Du Xixi had any matters, she could completely use the Light Computer; delivering letters was unnecessary. However, Du Xixi had Mechanical Soldiers deliver letters clearly not to actually send letters but to intimidate others.
With a "special crowd" accompanied by a Mechanical Soldier, no student would be foolish enough to provoke Miao Miao. Du Xixi couldn’t directly appear herself, as that would attract too much attention, but using the Mechanical Soldiers to intimidate everyone was still doable.
Miao Miao would return to the Ke Family once a month, already considered frequent among students. She had just returned home at the beginning of this month, so today, Miao Miao should be studying at school and wouldn’t return to the Ke Family.
"Yiyi, Er Er, did you sleep well last night?" Du Xixi squatted down, kissed each of the two sons on their fair little cheeks, and then smilingly asked softly.
The children were almost one year old. They could walk and run, and their teeth had come in quite a bit, so usually, Du Xixi and the others would deliberately converse with them to develop their thinking and language.
"Ah! Mom!" Yiyi babbled, suddenly blurting out such a phrase, which startled everyone, and Er Er next to him wasn’t to be outdone, after a few hums, he clearly said, "Mom!"
"Ke Lian! Did I hear that right?" Du Xixi was taken aback, and when she came to her senses, she was already gripping Ke Lian’s arm, but she didn’t let go, instead pinching it hard, "Does it hurt?"
"Yes." Naturally, Ke Lian wasn’t in pain; Du Xixi’s strength, while considered large for her, was still like a mosquito bite to him. But he wouldn’t foolishly say "it doesn’t hurt," knowing that Du Xixi needed his affirmative answer.
Sure enough, hearing Ke Lian’s "yes," Du Xixi jumped up happily, then hugged the two children excitedly: "Good babies, call Mama again?"
"Ah! Ah!" Er Er didn’t speak again, and Yiyi seemed to understand as he chattered a few more times, but the previous pronunciation did not reappear, only a series of "Ah"s.
Du Xixi was a bit disappointed, but she knew Yiyi and Er Er were still young. The fact they managed to speak, even just by coincidence, was already great. She stroked their smiling faces with loving affection, saying, "It’s okay, you can say it again next time."
Yiyi and Er Er still seemed unable to understand the meaning of Du Xixi’s words, just playing with each other, soon climbing and crawling everywhere, as Ke Xing went to take care of them, and Du Xixi and Ke Lian, hand in hand, also looked on from the side.
Close to lunchtime, Mo Ying and Ye Wenting arrived at the Ke Family. Du Xixi was about to say something but saw Mo Ying leaning frail and softly in Ye Wenting’s arms, appearing somewhat fragile and arousing people’s sympathy.
"Quick, sit down!" Du Xixi hurriedly invited them to the sofa, considerately asking 2569 to fetch a blanket neither too thick nor too thin, just right for pregnant women in this season, and then personally draping it over Mo Ying, "Sister Mo Ying, not feeling well again? I’ll just..."
"No need." Du Xixi wanted to use her Purification Talent to help Mo Ying, but Mo Ying suddenly spoke weakly, interrupting Du Xixi, "This is just how my body is, your help is ultimately in vain."
Before pregnancy, although Mo Ying had some hidden injuries, she didn’t miss any daily training. Even during several battlefield stints, she could gallantly repel the Insect Clan one by one.
But after becoming pregnant, Mo Ying’s once agile body was no longer, with past injuries suddenly surfacing as if descending like a mountain upon her, so overwhelming that she nearly couldn’t endure even with clenched teeth.
If it weren’t for everyone’s considerate care... Mo Ying closed her eyes, feeling queasy in her stomach again, as if speaking any further would make her vomit, so she shut her mouth, shook her head, and said nothing more.
Ye Wenting tenderly stroked her cheek, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief he carried with him. He had been taking care of Mo Ying during this time, but when Mo Ying felt bad, he could do nothing but worry.
He even considered at one point not wanting this child anymore. As long as Mo Ying was well, the child... they hadn’t planned on having one at the start, had they?
