Chapter 284
"It's only been a few months, and you don't even have any arms or legs yet. What's there to feel?"
"Why can't I feel it? This child in my belly is still Lin Zaozao's son, even if he hasn't taken shape yet."
After scolding Gu Shan, Xiao Taohua turned around and glared at Lin Zaozao.
"Zaozao, do you recognize the child in my belly?"
"Of course I do! I have to recognize him. Whether it's a son or a daughter, even if you were carrying a little wolf cub, I'd still recognize him."
"You bad-mouthing crow! I'm a human, how could I possibly be carrying a wolf cub! Do you talk about your own son like that?"
Xiao Taohua gently poked Lin Zaozao's forehead with her finger, scolding her.
"Ah, you're right, my mistake. My dear Xiao Taohua, please don't be offended! It's definitely a son, 100% a son, how could it be a wolf cub?"
"That's better. Come, feel your son properly."
Xiao Taohua placed Lin Zaozao's hand back on her waist, saying proudly.
Gu Shan, Little Xibei, Ye Yi, and Xiao Liuli, seeing Lin Zaozao and Xiao Taohua's intimate interaction, their eyes were rolling up to the heavens.
It's just a child! Watching them, you'd think no one else knows how to get pregnant.
"Lin Zaozao, I'm pregnant, my back hurts, give me a massage!"
Lin Zaozao, who was just joking around with Xiao Taohua, didn't immediately react when she heard Little Xibei asking her to massage his back.
Just as she was about to ask Little Xibei why he wanted her to massage his back, she saw Little Xibei leaning sideways in the chair, holding his waist, and looking at her with burning eyes.
Oh no, she must have blundered terribly just now.
Except for when she had just learned that Ye Yi and Xiao Liuri were pregnant, and that Gu Shan was pregnant, she had been vigilantly watching over them, afraid that something might happen to their pregnancies.
But after learning that Little Xibei was pregnant, apart from being amazed at his extremely talented ability to get pregnant in just three seconds, she hadn't cared for him the way she had for Gu Shan.
The main thing is, Little Xibei acts so casually all day long, not at all like a pregnant person!
Because since she found out Little Xibei was pregnant, she basically hasn't paid much extra attention to him at all.
Now that Little Xibei sees her being so attentive to Xiao Taohua, Ruo Qiu and Ji Fantian, how could he not feel frustrated?
Since she made a mistake, she must correct it.
Only by acknowledging her error and improving can Lin Zaozao become a good comrade and a good wife.
Having realized this, Lin Zaozao quickly rushed to Little Xibei's back and diligently began massaging him.
"My dear Little Xibei, how is the strength of this lady's massage? Do you want me to knead your shoulders as well?"
"The strength is a bit light, increase it a bit."
"Okay, no problem."
Lin Zaozao obsequiously replied.
"Zaozao, my head hurts, give me a massage!"
Gu Shan glanced at the smug-looking Little Xibei and spoke up.
"Ah? My dear Gu Shan's head hurts. I'll be right there."
Walking behind Gu Shan, Lin Zaozao immediately began massaging his head. While massaging, she also observed Gu Shan's expression.
Gu Shan normally wouldn't even cry out if he was injured. Could it be that he caught a cold yesterday?
Thinking about it, Lin Zaozao felt Gu Shan's forehead. No fever, he hasn't got a fever either!
"Gu Shan, besides your head, is there anywhere else that's uncomfortable?"
"My chest hurts."
"Ah! Your chest hurts! Did you suffer an internal injury? Or what happened?"
With that, Lin Zaozao immediately grabbed Gu Shan's hand and began to transfer the pain.
Gu Shan is now a pregnant husband, she can't let him get injured.
Just as Lin Zaozao was about to feed Gu Shan the Level 4 Marrow Washing Liquid she had obtained from transferring the pain, she was rejected by Gu Shan.
"Zaozao, my chest doesn't hurt anymore, I don't want to drink it."
"You have to drink it even if it doesn't hurt. You're a man, and now you're pregnant, it must be affecting your body. You drink this, and I'll feel relieved."
"Zaozao, if I drink this, will it affect your body?"
Gu Shan held Lin Zaozao's hand and asked solemnly.
"Apart from getting a little fatter, there won't be any other effects. Besides, it's not like I've never been fat before.
Do you remember when we just got married, my weight was over 280 pounds, I was as fat as a ball.
Back then, if it weren't for the fact that being too fat was affecting my life, I really wouldn't have cared about my weight.
My weight is my own business, no one can interfere."
"Zaozao, you also know that being too fat will affect your health. Since that's the case, I won't drink the medicine you gave me."
"Gu Shan, be obedient. When you're sick, you have to take medicine. Moreover, you're pregnant right now, for your sake and for the sake of the child in your belly, you have to be extra careful.
If I gave you regular medicine, I'm afraid it might affect the child in your belly. But this thing of mine, rather than calling it medicine, it's better to say it's something to strengthen the body.
My dear Gu Shan, be a good boy and take the medicine!"
Seeing Lin Zaozao coaxing him like she was soothing a child, Gu Shan still pushed her hand away.
"Zaozao, my, my chest doesn't hurt. I, I just don't like how you're being so attentive to Little Xibei."
"This..."
Seeing Gu Shan's blushing face and Little Xibei's look of relishing the show, Lin Zaozao finally realized.
Her dear Gu Shan was jealous.
"Gu Shan, are you jealous of Little Xibei?"
"No, I'm not. I just can't stand him, that's all."
Gu Shan stubbornly said.
"Is that so? Gu Shan, are you just displeased with him, or are you displeased with anyone who competes with you for Zaozao's love?"
Little Xibei lazily leaned back in the chair and teased.
"What's wrong with me disliking you all? I love Zaozao more than I love myself. So I don't like it when she's good to others, what's wrong with that?
Besides, the law of survival, you have to fight for your food yourself to get it. Is there anything wrong with me fighting for Zaozao's love?"
Gu Shan said righteously.
"But Gu Shan, Zaozao is not food, and feelings can't be obtained just by fighting for them."
Ruo Qiu spoke up calmly.
"Feelings can't be fought for?"
Gu Shan turned his head, and the look in his eyes directed at Lin Zaozao was full of desolation.
"Gu Shan, I don't know if you can fight for others' feelings. But here with me, as long as you fight for it, I'll be willing to give it to you. Even if you don't want to fight for it, I'll still be willing to give it to you.
Gu Shan, just like you said. I love you more than I love myself."
"Really? Zaozao, you're not just trying to cheer me up and deceiving me, are you?"
"No, of course not! Gu Shan, if you don't believe what I'm saying, I can swear an oath."
Saying that, Lin Zaozao immediately raised her hand, ready to swear to the heavens.
"Zaozao, you don't need to swear. As long as you say it, I'm willing to believe you."
Gu Shan grabbed Lin Zaozao's raised hand, his eyes full of laughter.
Seeing Gu Shan finally smile, Lin Zaozao let out a long sigh of relief. Heavens above!
It seems that in her husband group, she is the most pained to see Gu Shan sad. As for the reason, it's probably because her heart is a little biased.
Little Xibei and the others, seeing the pink bubbles of affection between Gu Shan and Lin Zaozao, they exchanged glances, and someone took the lead in laughing out loud.
Following that laughter, Little Xibei and the others all burst out laughing.
Ha! Who said Gu Shan's personality was cold and aloof, only knowing how to kill people, not knowing how to be flexible? Look at him now, competing for favor like a true little green tea.
They really are, utterly inferior to him!
"What's so funny? Is it that hilarious?"
Gu Shan turned his head to look at Xiao Taohua and the others, his expression changing in a second from gentle and amiable to grim and angry as he said:
"Not funny, not funny at all."
Xiao Taohua turned his body, pretending to admire the scenery. But his shaking shoulders clearly showed that he was suppressing laughter.
Little Xibei and the others watched Xiao Taohua's struggle to hold back his laughter, and after briefly greeting Lin Zaozao, they instructed the guards to prepare for their departure.
After all, Lin Zaozao needed to save the refugees who had fled from the Frontier Region, and they also had to reallocate some supplies.
"Zaozao, this time I've brought a lot of grains and forage. I've sent people to deliver them in batches. Let me go check on the progress of the delivery."
Ruo Qiu nodded towards Gu Shan and then turned to head towards the caravan he had brought.
"Zaozao, we've gathered information on the situation of those refugees. They not only need food, but also medicinal herbs for treatment.
The people from the Shenyi Clan are following behind us. Let me go check if they've arrived yet."
"Fantian, you go ahead and take care of that."
"Lin Zaozao!"
"Xiao Taohua, what's wrong? Do you have something to say?"
"The vinegar smell here is too strong, I'll go over there to get some fresh air, so I don't end up getting pickled."
With that, Xiao Taohua gave Gu Shan a teasing smile and turned to walk towards the open space.
"I'll go too, to give a certain someone some space, so he doesn't look at me with disdain."
Little Xibei, disregarding Gu Shan's displeasure, patted his shoulder and left as well.
"Zaozao, I can help Ruo Qiu with the grain and forage allocation, let me go assist him."
Ye Yi nodded towards Gu Shan and Lin Zaozao, then left.
"Zaozao, I'm going to help my brother."
Without waiting for Lin Zaozao to speak, Xiao Liuli hurriedly chased after Ye Yi.
After everyone had left, Gu Shan looked up at Lin Zaozao seriously and asked with some uncertainty:
"Zaozao, did I do something wrong just now?"
"Gu Shan, you didn't do anything wrong. Loving someone is loving them, and not loving someone is not loving them.
Gu Shan, you love me, so you care about who I'm with. I love you too, so I very much enjoy your little temper tantrums."
"Then, Zaozao. If one day, after learning about your past life, you no longer love me?"
"Past life?"
Lin Zaozao sighed slightly, gently reaching out to embrace Gu Shan's waist.
"Gu Shan, the past is in the past. As long as we're not sworn mortal enemies who wiped out each other's families, I won't abandon you, and I won't stop loving you.
Even if we had some hatred towards each other in the past, that's all over now. The person I love is you, the you of the present, understand?"
