Chapter 642: Discussing her discomfort
Lei Qian looked at the man in front of him with a look of sheer speechlessness on his face. He said to him, "Other than chasing after her, do you see me doing anything else?" He was the dog and she was the master. Couldn’t Lu Yu see him wagging his tail every time Bai Meiyue said east, he wouldn’t dare to say west? How else did he win the heart of that heartless woman? Look at how she was ignoring him over something that he had no control over!
Bai Meiyue hadn’t gone too far. When she heard Lei Qian’s response, she rolled her eyes at him. Why did he speak in that aggrieved tone? It was as if she were bullying him.
Well, you are bullying him, master.
Upon hearing Ciyi stand up for Lei Qian, Bai Meiyue turned to look at the little pup and squinted her eyes at her. "It seems like you have quite a lot of pity for him. Go and ask for treats for him from now on; don’t come looking for me."
Master! Ah, master! Please listen to me; I didn’t mean to—ah!
Ciyi chased after Bai Meiyue, her expression filled with worry when she heard Bai Meiyue say that she was not going to hand her any treats.
Of course, Bai Meiyue was not at all merciful. She ignored the little pup and went to sleep. She needed to wake up early tomorrow morning, as she also needed to visit the clinic for her monthly check-up. Thus, ignoring the whining pup, Bai Meiyue fell asleep. Since Ciyi wanted to stand up for Lei Qian, she would have to face the consequences for it.
Was she unreasonable? She was. But she was going to act unreasonably. Who can do anything to her?
The next morning, Bai Meiyue got up and then went to look for Shen Zhen after having her breakfast. On the way, she heard that her nephews had gone to hunt down zombies and was not surprised. Ever since the two of them had awakened, they had been going on hunts with her brothers. The two of them were getting stronger at controlling their powers, which was good news, as Bai Meiyue was getting tired of buying new gloves for her nephews, who were getting used to ruining every pair that she bought for them.
Just these pairs of ruined gloves were giving her a headache.
When she arrived at the clinic, she saw Shen Zhen sitting inside her cabin with a calm expression on her face. Except for the thick clothes that covered her from head to toe, the woman was looking rather solemn. As if what happened last night had nothing to do with her. Bai Meiyue shifted her gaze and looked at Lu Yu, who was sitting in one of the metal chairs outside the cabin.
From the looks of it, Lu Yu had been sitting outside the clinic since morning.
Bai Meiyue sighed. From the looks of it, the man must have taken Lei Qian’s suggestion to heart. He was really chasing after Shen Zhen like a dog!
Bai Meiyue ignored the man and stepped inside Shen Zhen’s cabin. When Shen Zhen heard the sound of the door opening, she raised her head and fiercely glared at Bai Meiyue, but when she noticed who it was, Shen Zhen’s gaze softened, and she smiled at Bai Meiyue. "You are here."
Bai Meiyue nodded and then took a seat.
"Here, take your temperature first," said Shen Zhen as she handed an electronic thermometer to Bai Meiyue.
After noting down the temperature, as Bai Meiyue handed the thermometer back to Shen Zhen once she was done measuring the temperature, Shen Zhen looked at the old reports of Bai Meiyue and said, "Your condition is much better than before; at least you are no longer underweight for carrying a full-term pregnancy. Are there any other discomforts?"
"I cannot breathe well these days... after walking for a while, I start feeling out of breath. My back hurts and my feet are swollen—and my stomach feels a bit weird."
"You are already past seven months, right? It’s the start of your eighth month?"
"That’s right."
"You should start paying more attention to your supplements and stop running around. I heard from Master Lei that you almost fainted last night; for the sake of your child, try to stay away from newly awakened ability users; they don’t have any control over their skills. If you keep intervening, things might become troublesome for you and your child. You understand this, right?"
"I see," Bai Meiyue replied with a frown as she raised her hand and rubbed her chest. She winced upon touching her sensitive bosom.
"What’s the matter?"
"I feel my bosom getting more and more sensitive these days." Bai Meiyue didn’t want to complain, but couldn’t stop herself when she thought of how much her bosom had hurt these past few days; she could only relay the subtle discomfort that she was suffering from.
"Try to get used to it," said Shen Zhen as she noted it down. "Your body is preparing itself for breastfeeding."
She paused and asked, "Are you going to feed the child yourself, or are you going to ask one of the pregnant women to nurse your son?" Shen Zhen had heard about Fu Wan’s good deeds, and it seemed like the woman was not feeding her child. Instead, she had pushed the child into the hands of another pregnant woman and was paying her with crystal nuclei. As the rumour that Bai Meiyue was going to open a shop where others could buy supplies through the crystal nuclei had spread in the safe base, a sudden horde of crystal nuclei had started, even though the shop was nowhere close to opening.
"I will be breastfeeding." Bai Meiyue stated firmly without even thinking about it. In her past life, because she didn’t have enough nourishment, she ran out of breast milk and couldn’t feed her son properly. After all, her foundation was poor to begin with. And with constant starvation, her body couldn’t make milk after she gave birth to her son. Therefore, her son became thin over time. Her poor Cai Cai.
