Chapter 168

　　More than ten days had passed in the blink of an eye, leaving only one week. Since returning from Pei Shiyu's place that night, I had basically been sending WeChat messages and making phone calls every day. I wanted Pei Shiyu to truly let go, feeling that it would still take some time, but at least now she could accept the care I gave her.

　　Today was a weekend and also the day for Pei Shiyu to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. I waited at her house early in the morning because I cherished this companionship. Once I left next week, there would be no more opportunities like this.

　　It was still early, only seven-thirty. The aunt was busy in the kitchen, probably preparing Pei Shiyu's breakfast. Just as I was about to go upstairs, the doorbell suddenly rang. I saw the aunt immediately walking towards the door. I took a step forward and said, "You stay busy, I'll answer the door."

　　"It's the flower delivery, just take them inside."

　　"Okay."

　　As I answered, I had already reached the door. I opened it and saw that it was indeed the flower delivery. I casually signed my name. At this time, the aunt also came to the door and said, "Shiyu told me to take them to her room every day. You take them up today, and wake her up. The doctor's appointment is at nine o'clock, and it's getting late."

　　I was stunned for a moment, remembering that I hadn't been in her room since we reconciled. Pei Shiyu was a very principled person, and things had to be done according to her steps. Seeing me hesitate, the aunt smiled and said, "Go ahead, if Shiyu scolds you, just say I told you to take them up."

　　"Okay, then I won't be polite. If she really complains, I'll just pass the buck to you."

　　"Hmm, you're going to have a child, what's with all the shilly-shallying?"

　　"I'm just afraid she'll get angry," I replied awkwardly.

　　"If she was really angry, would you even be able to get in here?"

　　"Auntie, being able to enter the door and going upstairs are two different things."

　　"I don't understand these things. Just go upstairs. Shiyu's personality won't allow her to actively ask you to go up."

　　If it were before, I might have barged in long ago, but after the last breakup, I became a little cautious. Perhaps it was also a kind of respect, a respect that seemed to want to gain her approval, or perhaps subconsciously I also wanted to be a gentleman.

　　After going upstairs, I gently pushed open the door and immediately smelled the strong scent of roses. I saw that Pei Shiyu was still sleeping, probably sound asleep. The sound I made didn't disturb her. Her head was buried in the pillow, and half of her face was covered by a few strands of hair. I didn't wake her up, but just silently watched her. Her even breathing sounded like she was having a beautiful dream.

　　I quietly turned around and saw that the flowers I sent a few days ago hadn't been thrown away yet. They still looked very fresh, arranged in a row on the floor under the window. I gently put the flowers down. Just as I turned around, I saw Pei Shiyu staring at me intently. At the moment our eyes met, she asked me in surprise, "How did you come up here?"

　　I remembered the aunt's words, so I immediately replied, "The aunt asked me to wake you up and bring the flowers up by the way."

　　"What time is it?"

　　Unexpectedly, Pei Shiyu didn't say anything and asked me in a gentle tone. I walked up to her and said, "It's a quarter past seven, you should get up."

　　"I'm so tired, I want to sleep a little longer."

　　"The doctor's appointment is set, you have to be on time."

　　Pei Shiyu didn't get up immediately after my reply, but continued to close her eyes as if struggling for a while. Seeing this, I sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to tuck a few strands of hair behind her ear, saying, "Get up, if you're tired, you can continue to sleep after you come back from the hospital."

　　"I have to go to the company in the afternoon to handle next week's business in advance."

　　"Are you that busy?"

　　"Mm."

　　"Then what should I do? Do you still want to sleep for a while?"

　　Just as I was about to leave the room after asking, Pei Shiyu suddenly sat up from the bed and said, "I'm getting up, you go out first."

　　"Then I'll wait for you downstairs."

　　Downstairs, the aunt had already prepared breakfast. I walked over to take a look. It wasn't lavish, but it was very nutritious. At this time, the aunt said, "I forgot, Shiyu might have to be on an empty stomach. I made two servings, you eat them."

　　"One serving for each of us, or leave it for her to eat when she comes back."

　　"I'll make it again when she comes back, you eat it."

　　The two servings of breakfast on the table were actually very small. I picked up one of the glasses of milk and took a big gulp. The fried eggs were fried very well, they were soft-boiled eggs. As I ate, I praised, "These eggs are fried perfectly, I like soft-boiled eggs the most."

　　"If you like them, come every day from now on," the aunt replied happily.

　　Half an hour later, I saw Pei Shiyu slowly coming down the stairs. She was wearing a black dress, and she looked like she was just starting to show as a pregnant woman. I immediately stepped forward and took her hand. Pei Shiyu said, "I can't eat breakfast, did you eat?"

　　"Mm, the aunt said so."

　　"Let's go, take your car."

　　I said with emotion, "This may be the first and last time I accompany you for a prenatal checkup. You'll have to go by yourself in the future. When your belly gets bigger, let the aunt accompany you."

　　"I've been mentally prepared for a long time, leave with peace of mind."

　　"Will you come to see me?"

　　"It depends, once the child is born, I basically won't have any time."

　　At this time, we had already arrived at the car. I pressed the remote control to open the passenger door for Pei Shiyu. After she got in, I immediately went around to the other side, sat down, and said, "Let me talk about my current feelings. Going abroad is very new to me, but compared to the arrival of the child, these can't be compared. The former is curiosity, but more importantly, it's an opportunity to improve my abilities, and I also want to integrate into the international community to try it out, while the latter is the huge responsibility and surprise of becoming a father. Currently, I have no choice, I definitely have to go..."

　　Speaking of this, Pei Shiyu immediately interrupted, "No one is stopping you. Remember what going abroad is for."

　　"Mm, I'll keep it in mind, I'm just talking about my feelings."

　　"No one will snatch the child away from you after it's born. If you really miss them, you can come back once a year."

　　"That's right, but missing the child's growth period will be a lifelong regret."

　　Pei Shiyu suddenly changed the topic and asked me, "Did you bring your household registration booklet?"

　　"I didn't bring it, what's wrong?" I asked her curiously.

　　"Aren't we going to get a marriage certificate?"

　　"So hastily?" I was surprised and delighted at the same time.

　　"Then how should we make it grand?"

　　"At least tell me in advance, I have to prepare. Now you suddenly tell me..."

　　I stopped talking because I remembered that the so-called household registration booklet only included me. Since I bought the house, I directly established my own household. If I married Pei Shiyu, then there would be one more person from now on, and in the near future, we would add the child's household registration.
