"You agreed?" Guo Yi's tone was a bit excited. The thing was, he hadn't even brought it up yet. How could she have already given her consent? And... how did she know about it?
Wang Ruotong rolled her eyes. "If you're too scared to tell me, do you think others are too?"
"..." So it must have been Xiao Yun! "You... really agreed?"
Wang Ruotong shot him a sidelong glance. "Judging from your tone, it sounds like you don't want me to agree?"
"No..." Of course he wasn't unhappy about it. He was just a bit incredulous!
Wang Ruotong said, "Then shall we give it a try today?"
"Sure, okay!" Guo Yi heaved a sigh of relief. "Why do you seem more eager than me?"
Wang Ruotong rolled her eyes ungraciously. "Isn't it because I want Yu Fei to wake up soon? Do you think I have so much time to pretend to be your girlfriend?"
Guo Yi felt a bit embarrassed under Wang Ruotong's scolding. "Yes, yes, thank you, thank you."
"I don't want your thanks..." Wang Ruotong murmured under her breath.
"Huh? What did you say?" Guo Yi didn't quite catch it.
"Nothing!" Wang Ruotong said impatiently. "Class is about to start. I'll leave first."
"Okay..." Guo Yi awkwardly scratched his nose. Wang Ruotong had always had a good temper. This was the first time he'd seen her so angry. It seemed that the class monitor really wasn't happy about being his fake girlfriend.
...
Xiao Yun followed Guo Yi and Wang Ruotong to the hospital to visit Yu Fei. Su Rou couldn't go because of the many inconveniences of pregnancy, but she had told Xiao Yun that if there was any good news, he must tell her immediately!
"Miss, you're holding your phone so close again," Aunt Wang said with a smile. "When the young master comes back and sees you on your phone again, he'll scold you." As Su Rou's pregnancy progressed, the doctor had advised against excessive radiation exposure for pregnant women, as it was bad for the fetus.
"Aunt Wang, just don't tell him," Su Rou said. "It's impossible for a person not to use a phone!"
Aunt Wang nodded. She quite agreed with this statement, because in today's technological society, it was really hard to get by without something in your hand! "Okay, I won't tell the young master, but you should also be careful, Miss. Don't play with your phone for too long. It's always better to avoid radiation."
"Sure, I know that," Su Rou said, stroking her belly. The bulge was already quite obvious. It made her look like she'd put on weight.
Su Rou and Aunt Wang reached an agreement. Su Rou obediently put her phone on the coffee table and then lay down on the sofa to take a nap. It seemed that since the morning sickness had passed, her drowsiness had become more and more obvious.
But the doctor said it was all normal. There would also be frequent urination in the later stages of pregnancy, but in Su Rou's opinion, as long as she didn't have to suffer from morning sickness anymore, it was all okay!
"Where's Xiaorourou?" When Su Yuze got home, the first thing he did was ask about Su Rou.
Aunt Wang pointed to the sofa. "She's sleeping."
Su Yuze changed his shoes and walked over. Sure enough, he saw her sleeping soundly. "How long has she been sleeping?"
"All afternoon," Aunt Wang said. She'd been sleeping since lunch. She was really a heavy sleeper.
"For so long?" Su Yuze raised his eyebrows slightly. Even for a pregnant woman, sleeping for so long didn't seem right.
As if sensing Su Yuze's worry, Aunt Wang said confidently, "Don't worry, young master. It's completely normal for pregnant women to be drowsy. There's nothing to worry about."
"Okay..."
It seemed that pregnant women were especially vulnerable. There were many news stories online about pregnant women having miscarriages. Maybe it was a characteristic of soon - to - be fathers, but they were more concerned about such things and a bit neurotic!
As if by telepathy, just as Su Yuze walked over, Su Rou slowly opened her eyes. She stretched her arms and legs and yawned on the sofa. She'd had a really good sleep.
But Su Yuze was startled by her action. The sofa wasn't like a big bed where you could turn over without falling. Just now, Su Rou had wriggled a few times on the sofa and seemed about to fall off.
"Be careful..." Su Yuze immediately walked over, picked Su Rou up, and placed her on his lap. "If you want to sleep, why don't you go to bed? It's dangerous to sleep on the sofa."
"Dangerous?" Su Rou had just woken up and her mind was still a bit fuzzy. She only knew that she'd just stretched and then been stopped by Su Yuze.
"Do you know that you almost fell off the sofa when you stretched?" Su Yuze's tone was a bit reproachful. "If you want to sleep, go to bed. Don't sleep on the sofa anymore."
Only then did Su Rou realize what had happened. She retorted, "How could I? I wouldn't fall off." She always knew where she was when she slept.
"How couldn't you? I saw you almost fall just now!" Su Yuze pinched Su Rou's nose affectionately and draped a blanket over her. "You've been sleeping all day?"
"Yeah."
"Did you do anything else?"
"Like what?"
Su Yuze curled his lips. "Like playing with your phone."
"No!" Su Rou said. "Look, the phone is on the coffee table. I've been sleeping."
Su Yuze looked at the phone on the coffee table. Then he suddenly reached out, picked up Su Rou's phone, unlocked it, and started checking.
"Okay..." Su Yuze smiled. "Xiaorourou, you made two phone calls this noon. One of them with Xiao Yun lasted half an hour."
"..."
"Didn't I tell you that phone calls should not last more than ten minutes?" The shorter the better, to avoid radiation exposure.
"Ah, I..." Su Rou looked at her phone in annoyance. Damn it, she should have deleted the call log. Who would have thought that Su Yuze would check it?
"What were you thinking?" Su Yuze asked leisurely.
"I... I was wrong."
Aunt Wang, who was cooking in the kitchen, gave Su Rou a sympathetic look. It wasn't that she didn't want to help the young miss, but the young master had discovered it on his own! Come to think of it, it was still too early for the young miss to try to outwit the young master!
Su Rou pouted. "It's just a phone call. Didn't I tell you yesterday? Their class monitor, Wang Ruotong, agreed to the plan. They're doing the experiment today."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Fei Fei will definitely wake up soon." She believed that this stimulus would be strong enough!
Su Yuze smiled faintly. "I'm not sure when Yu Fei will wake up, but I'm sure of one thing... you'll have to eat an extra bowl of rice tonight."
"Ah..."
"As the price for your half - hour phone call." It was a mild punishment, considering it was related to food.
"Okay..." One good thing about being pregnant was that her appetite had increased.
