The day of labor is getting closer and closer, as Mu Chenlang said, Su Xiaoxiao has entered another round of drowsiness, and there is very little time to wake up every day, although the whole person is still ruddy, but his spirit is often in a trance.

Afraid that she would be too lazy, after returning from Los Angeles, Qin Yitian would take her to all parts of the park square every night, and walk with her for at least an hour or two before taking her home.

Unknowingly, the child in her belly has been more than nine months old, and Qin Yitian has been staying at home since the thirty-sixth week of pregnancy, because the obstetrician told them that the child is full-term, and it may give birth at any time after that.

And thanks to Qin Shujian, Su Xiaoxiao was able to see another side of Qin Yitian. Almost from the middle period, his whole person was glowing with soft warmth all the time, and his originally sharp eagle eyes also had an arc, rippling with loving light.

In addition to Qin Yitian's careful care, Bai Yaxuan will take time to accompany her every week, in addition to reporting work, she chats with her more and takes her out to go shopping and eat.

Since the burden of the entire studio fell on Bai Yaxuan, although she was in good order, she was also very busy. After Su Xiaoxiao's consent, they began to look for some particularly good designers to join, and in addition to sharing the workload, they also expanded the scale.

Su Xiaoxiao gradually felt that the original decision was absolutely correct, Bai Yaxuan was really a treasure, but it had not been developed before. In short, with this partner, she is indeed a lot more leisurely, and she can also raise the baby without distractions.

As for Chen Xiao, he was even more fearless with the identity of his younger brother, and ran to the villa twice in three days, saying that he cared about his little nephew.

Of course, if he ran diligently, Qin Yitian would naturally eat it, but seeing that he did always have the ability to make Su Xiaoxiao laugh, and occasionally brought Jing Mian, Qin Yitian didn't bother with him anymore.

Su Xiaoxiao is a person who protects her shortcomings, as long as she has a good relationship with her, she will treat them with all her heart and consider them without reservation. Now she treats Chen Xiao as her own brother, and she naturally gradually gets acquainted with Jing Mian.

No, Chen Xiao came to the door again today, he knocked on the door of the villa early, and when he came in, he was still carrying several bags of things in his hand.

"Aunt Xi, help me put these in the kitchen first."

"Young Master Chen has helped Grandma buy so many things again. Miss Jing Mian will definitely be blessed to marry you in the future. Aunt Xi said with her head down as she took the bags. She didn't notice that there was a fleeting sadness in Chen Xiao's eyes.

In the face of Aunt Xi's appreciation, Chen Xiao just smiled and didn't answer, took off his coat and changed his shoes, and then went into the house.

To his surprise, Su Xiaoxiao had woken up today. She was sitting on the couch, her eyes fixed on the morning news on TV, but it was clear that she was just in a daze.

"Woke up so early today?" Chen Xiao walked over quickly, sat down next to her, and leaned a little closer.

Su Xiaoxiao turned his eyes to look at him, and suddenly seemed to feel that there was a golden light behind him.

"What do you think?" Chen Xiao raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

I don't know why, at the same time, the child in the belly suddenly kicked her hard, as if there was some dissatisfaction. Su Xiaoxiao finally came back to her senses, realizing that he was sitting very close, she moved her body to the side half a position.

Chen Xiao has long been accustomed to her caution, but he is still happy to come to her every time, just like he did in Los Angeles at the beginning.

"Jing Mian didn't come?"

"She had something at home, so I didn't call her." Chen Xiao leaned lazily into the sofa, answered casually, his eyes swept the whole room and asked, "Qin Yitian is not there?" ”

"You should call him brother-in-law, and now you dare to call him by his first name in all of New York." Su Xiaoxiao turned her eyes and looked at Chen Xiao with a sneer, "'Paint Night' has something to do temporarily, and I went out in the early morning." ”

"Will he come back at noon?"

"Probably not. What's wrong? Looking for him? ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Xiao suddenly sat up straight, "Really? Then I'll cook for you at noon! ”

"Cooking?"

"Well, Xiaoxiao, I learned to cook, Jing Mian said it was delicious, I just had a chance to try it for you today, you can try it and give it an evaluation."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Su Xiaoxiao smiled lightly and nodded in response, "Then I'll leave lunch to you." ”

"Wrap it up on me, I'll go get ready right away." Chen Xiao stood up suddenly, clapping his chest with his hand and vowing.

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at the TV again, covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, and sleepiness instantly swept through her body. She put the cashmere blanket covering her feet over her shoulders and slowly stood up, "I'll go back to my room and sleep, you're okay and call me." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and carefully put one hand on her shoulder to help her slowly walk back to the bedroom on the third floor.

"Thank you." Su Xiaoxiao touched her big belly and held her waist forward with one hand. I heard that other pregnant women can gain at least more than ten or twenty pounds in the late stage of pregnancy, but she is good, except for the weight of the fetus, her own weight has basically not increased. This also leads to the fact that the slim waist often feels sore.

It wasn't until after twelve o'clock in the afternoon that Chen Xiao got everything right. He looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, and while taking off his apron, he kept nodding to himself: "This is definitely better than Qin Yitian." ”

After handing over the rest of the work to Aunt Xi, he went upstairs and gently opened the bedroom door. The noon sun made the whole room warm, Su Xiaoxiao lay on her side on the bed, breathing evenly and steadily, her face was slightly flushed, as pure as an angel.

Chen Xiao sat on the side and watched, and only with this opportunity could he stare at her unscrupulously.

After a few minutes, Chen Xiaocai finally raised his hand and patted her shoulder gently, "Xiaoxiao, get up and eat." ”

After three sounds, Su Xiaoxiao's eyebrows twisted slightly, and her body turned slightly in a different direction, and then slowly opened her eyes.

Knowing that she was having difficulty getting up, Chen Xiao didn't urge, just got up and helped her get a coat from the hanger and put it next to her, and said softly: "I'll wait for you outside, you can't sleep, you know?" Otherwise, my hard work will be wasted later. ”

"Hmm." Su Xiaoxiao raised her white arm and put it on her forehead, blocking the dazzling light a little before she muttered.

By the time they both sat down at the table, more than ten minutes had passed. Chen Xiao sat opposite Su Xiaoxiao, holding his chin and looking at her with a sunny face, "Na, you try it quickly, and then give me an evaluation." ”

Su Xiaoxiao took the meal handed by Aunt Xi with both hands, swept her eyes at the dishes in front of her, and finally only raised her eyebrows and smiled, but did not speak.

Until the bottom of the rice bowl, Su Xiaoxiao did not give a response, which made Chen Xiao a little anxious. Seeing her pick up the wet towel on the side to wipe her mouth, he immediately opened his mouth and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Listen to the truth or lie to it?"

"Of course it's true." Chen Xiao twisted his eyebrows, and his expression looked a little angry.

"Yes, what Jing Mian said is delicious." After changing a towel to wipe her hands, Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and smiled a little naughty.

"I want to hear the truth!"

"That's the truth, don't you have food yourself?" Su Xiaoxiao was amused by his confused and innocent appearance, he really intended to make a joke just now, but he didn't expect him to take it seriously.

"My feelings don't count, I want your feelings."

"Jing Mian's feeling is also counted."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao slowed down for two seconds before finally laughing: "She's definitely counted." ”

"Okay, your food is going to be cold, so don't hurry up and eat it."

"Right now."

A simple lunch finally ended in laughter, Chen Xiao exaggerated the process of learning to cook to Su Xiaoxiao, and that slightly silly drive really made Su Xiaoxiao both admired and funny.

Qin Yitian didn't take Su Xiaoxiao out that night, and the night in New York was cloudy and biting, and if he was not careful, he would feel that his exposed skin was frozen and unconscious.

After the two only walked around the greenhouse in the backyard a few times, Qin Yitian took her back to the living room.

"You sit here and wait for me, I'll go get something." Qin Yitian pressed Su Xiaoxiao on the sofa and bent over to command.

"Hmm." Su Xiaoxiao bowed his head, grabbed a pillow and leaned on it in his arms.

Seeing her quiet appearance when she closed her eyes, Qin Yitian rubbed her hair and then turned around and walked towards the spiral staircase.

After a while, he felt that the position around him had sunken, and Su Xiaoxiao immediately shifted his head in that direction.

"Open your eyes and see?" Qin Yitian's voice was unusually warm but slightly helpless: this little woman really regarded sleep as the most important thing, and sometimes he felt that he might be jealous of this nothingness at any time.

"What?" Hearing the sound, Su Xiaoxiao lazily opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was something similar to a picture scroll.

"You open it yourself." Qin Yitian put the scroll on her lap, and wrapped his arms around her back to support her body slightly.

Su Xiaoxiao sobered up a little at this time, glanced at Qin Yitian suspiciously, and then gently pulled away the silk tied in the middle of the roll.

As the cloth rolled slowly spread out on her feet, her eyes gradually revealed surprise: it was the embroidery she had seen in the art museum before.

"This is not for sale, how did you get it?" Su Xiaoxiao touched the little figure on the painting and asked incredulously.

"It took a bit of effort, too. It took a long time to make an appointment with the author, and he almost sacrificed the hue. ”

Su Xiaoxiao's expression changed when she heard this, "Brother Qin! ”

Seeing her suddenly blow up, Qin Yitian rubbed her heart with a smile, "I'm kidding you." ”

"Brother Qin, you have learned badly from your brother." Looking at the people around him, only Su Ming would say such a thing.

"The author originally refused to let it, but then I heard that the buyer was you, so I offered an exchange and agreed."

"Conditions? Does she know me? ”

"Don't forget that you are the most proud disciple of Jiangshan, and she has seen your works. So I want you to help her design a bracelet in exchange. I'm on my own to help you down. ”

"It's worth it to change this embroidery for a design draft, but you can't help her draw it until Jian Jian is born." Su Xiaoxiao's eyes never left the cloth scroll, and she couldn't put it down.

"I've told her in advance, and she's okay."

"Brother Qin, when Jian Jian is born, let's go to Qingcheng again, I didn't say I would go back last time." The embroidered picture brought her back to that winter, thinking that it was indeed a long time since she had been there, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly missed that city, and the apartment with their memories.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." As he spoke, Qin Yitian put his hand on Su Xiaoxiao's stomach and pressed it lightly twice. Jian Jian seemed to sense her father's greeting, and soon responded, kicking Su Xiaoxiao heavily.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little pained, and patted the back of Qin Yitian's hand, "I don't know what's wrong today, he moved a little hard, and he kicked a lot harder." ”

"Uncomfortable?" Qin Yitian rolled his eyes and asked with some concern, "Isn't it just tomorrow for a prenatal checkup?" When the time comes, remember to ask the doctor and see what she has to say. ”

"yes, I see. Chen Xiao will accompany me tomorrow, you can go back to the company with peace of mind, and I will check and call you. ”

"I'm more relieved to have him with you."

Since the start of the prenatal checkup, except for the days in Los Angeles, Qin Yitian will almost accompany him in person at other times, but he does have an important signing tomorrow and can't walk away. Originally, Qin Yitian was worried that Su Xiaoxiao would go to the hospital alone, but now that she has a companion, he is really much less worried.
