Su Rou had her second prenatal check-up. The result was that both mother and child were in good health. "The intrauterine pregnancy is very normal, and the baby is developing healthily," the female doctor said with a smile.
Su Yuze stared at the ultrasound chart. Whether it was last time or this time, all he could see on it was a dark mass. It was just a bit bigger than last month.
"Are you sure the baby is healthy?" Su Yuze asked, sounding a bit worried. The thing on the chart just looked so strange.
The female doctor nodded repeatedly. "It's really healthy." But who would curse their own child to be unhealthy? This soon-to-be father, Su Yuze, was really an odd one!
"But why can't I see the hands and feet?" Su Yuze asked.
"The fetus is only four months old. It's impossible for it to take shape so quickly. The hands and feet will start to form around six or seven months." Of course, this also depended on the baby's growth. Some babies developed slower while others faster, but most followed the normal pattern.
"I see," Su Yuze nodded, as if he understood.
"Ze-ge..." Su Rou called him, wanting to ask if they were done.
But Su Yuze interrupted her. He turned to the doctor and asked, "What about the diet?" Su Rou had eaten a whole bucket of KFC last night. It shouldn't cause any problems, right?
"Food. I'm hungry..." Hearing Su Yuze mention food, Su Rou felt hungry. She hadn't had breakfast because she came for the ultrasound in the morning, so now she was starving.
But the female doctor quickly replied, "Just follow your previous diet. Eat what a pregnant woman should eat and avoid what she shouldn't."
What should she eat...
"Ze..."
There was a hint of doubt in Su Yuze's eyes. "What about things like KFC?" He wasn't sure if such food was hygienic.
"Oh, KFC. It's better to eat less of this kind of fried food. It's not that you can't eat it, but it's recommended to eat it sparingly," the doctor said. After all, fried food wasn't very healthy.
"Okay, I got it. Anything else?" Su Yuze continued to ask.
"Also..."
Su Rou watched their conversation silently. Lying on the bed, she propped her chin up. How long were they going to talk?
When Su Yuze finally finished talking to the doctor and turned around, he saw that Su Rou had fallen asleep. He couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder. "Xiao Rou'er?"
The female doctor watched them with a smile. They were such a happy young couple. So she quietly left the room.
Su Rou was woken up by Su Yuze. She opened her eyes and looked around blankly. "What?"
"You fell asleep," Su Yuze said.
"Um..." Su Rou rubbed her eyes. "Are you done talking?"
"Yeah." He was done. "But how did you fall asleep?"
Su Rou rolled her eyes at him. "It's all because of you guys. I called you several times, but you ignored me and just chatted happily with the doctor. So I fell asleep." What else could she do if she had nothing to do?
Su Yuze recalled that he had indeed talked with the doctor for a while, but he didn't expect Su Rou to fall asleep so quickly. "Okay, let's go home now."
"I'm hungry..." Su Rou said aggrievedly.
"To make up for making you wait until you fell asleep, I'll take you to a fancy dinner," Su Yuze said. Then he bent down to put on Su Rou's shoes.
"Let's go." After putting on her shoes, Su Rou hooked her arm around Su Yuze's and they left.
The streets were crowded on the weekend, and the restaurant was also extremely busy. Su Yuze immediately regretted coming. "There are so many people..."
Su Rou didn't mind. On the contrary, she thought it was more lively with more people. "Do they have any tables?"
"There are tables, but..." Su Yuze looked at the crowd. There were really a lot of people.
"That's good. Let's go in." Su Rou was so hungry that she didn't care about the crowd. All she wanted was to eat now.
Su Yuze usually made a reservation before going to a restaurant, so they could just order when they got there. But on the weekend, the restaurant was full and there were people waiting in line outside. It seemed dangerous to just push in.
"Maybe we should go to another place?" This restaurant was really too crowded.
"But I'm really hungry!" Su Rou rubbed her belly. "Then... buy some KFC and eat at home?"
"Let's go in." Su Yuze led Su Rou and carefully protected her as they walked into the restaurant. Letting Su Rou eat KFC was out of the question. The doctor had said to eat less of that unhealthy fried food.
Fortunately, Su Yuze had made a reservation. Otherwise, if Su Rou had to wait outside stupidly, the baby would be starving.
At the door, a young couple seemed impatient, probably because they had waited for too long. When they saw Su Yuze and Su Rou walking in, did that mean there was a table available?
"Hey, are you trying to cut in line?" the man said jealously.
The restaurant manager came out. When he saw Su Yuze, he immediately stepped forward. "Hello, please come this way."
Now even the woman was unhappy. Although the man was really handsome, she didn't expect him to be so unethical. Cutting in line just to have a meal! "You're so rude!" Coming to such a high-class restaurant and still cutting in line!
"I'm sorry. These two guests have made a reservation," the manager said apologetically.
"What? A reservation? Why didn't you tell me I could make one?" The man still wouldn't let it go. "Since we came first, the table should be ours!"
Su Rou smelled the delicious food wafting from the restaurant and felt even hungrier. She had no mood to listen to them arguing. "Let's go in. I'm hungry."
This time, it was the woman who spoke. She was jealous that Su Rou had such a handsome boyfriend. "Please, miss. Even if you're hungry, shouldn't you respect the order of arrival?"
"..." Su Rou looked at Su Yuze. "Let's go."
How dare they ignore them!
The woman was so angry that she thought Su Rou was being very disrespectful. So she reached out and grabbed Su Rou's arm, stopping her from moving.
"Let go," Su Yuze said in a deep voice.
He was already nervous about the crowded and chaotic situation here, afraid that someone might bump into Su Rou and make her uncomfortable. He didn't expect this woman to dare to grab Su Rou. Was she blind? Couldn't she see that Su Rou was pregnant?
With a "bang", the woman wasn't prepared. Su Yuze waved his arm, and she lost her balance and fell backward.
