Chapter 335 Pregnant?
As soon as Chen Mi said that everyone's attention snapped to Fang Chi's cinnabar and sure enough the red lotus has turned even more crimson than before. Chen Mi clamped his hand on his mouth as he let out a muffled cry, though Fang Chi was more like a competitor to him now, he was still happy for him, in the last two months, he has gotten fairly close to Fang Chi and now that he was the first to find out that Fang Chi was pregnant, Chen Mi couldn't control his happiness.
He stomped his feet and looked at Fang Chi gleefully. " You are pregnant! Brother Chi, this is really great, now our family is going to have another new member."
Fang Chi blinked his eyes in a daze and instinctively his hands brushed on his stomach as he slowly caressed it. He was pregnant? As in with a child in his belly? Though he knew that after being doted on by Yu Dong so much, he would sooner or later get pregnant and was even prepared for it but now that the thing has become his reality, Fang Chi was simply speechless. In fact, he was beyond speechless, he could only softly rub his belly and blink in a daze—— he was really pregnant… pregnant with Yu Dong's child.
" I...I am pregnant?" There was a life growing inside him and all Fang Chi could do was foolishly look at others, he was going to be a daddy in the next nine months! His heart was getting filled with so much warmth that Fang Chi felt that it was going to explode. A child… he has a child!
" That's right, Brother Chi!" Chen Mi rushed forward and stood in front of Fang Chi, with a face splitting grin. " You are going to be a daddy soon!"
As the realisation hit him Fang Chi swayed, it was a good thing that Shen Li was holding on to him or else it would have been a tragedy.
" I … I am pregnant… really pregnant."Fang Chi cupped his mouth as he muttered to himself, a few months ago he couldn't even imagine himself getting married much less becoming a daddy. If someone had told him back then that he was going to get pregnant in six months span, he would have thrown fists at that person, after all, he was the most despised mer of the village. Even though he never did anything other than holding hands with Mu Yuxi, he was still declared as promiscuous—— he never believed that he would be able to marry any woman.
And now, he was actually pregnant?
How will he not feel happy until he started to feel faint from it? Getting married was like a dream to him but now he wasn't only married to someone but he was going to become the daddy of his wife's child!
Fang Chi was in shock and so were Shen Li and Ye Liu. They have been married to Yu Dong for years and they were yet to get pregnant, yet Fang Chi got pregnant in just a span of a few months? Wasn't it like a slap for them to wake up to reality?
Though the two of them felt a sudden sense of urgency in their hearts, they still suppressed the anxiety that they were feeling and took Fang Chi to the back room where the mers who performed on the second floor took a break.
" You need to sit down," said Shen Li as he guided Fang Chi to a comfortable recliner and helped him down before putting a fluffy pillow behind Fang Chi. Though he wasn't able to get pregnant, he was quite knowledgeable about how to deal with a pregnant mer after taking care of Chen Mi for so long. " Liu, go and bring some sugar and salt water to replenish Chi's energy, he has thrown up everything he ate this morning, that's not good for him or his child."
Then he turned to Fang Chi and explained patiently. " First try to stomach this drink and then we will prepare something light for you, I know it will be hard on you since you are not feeling well but staying empty stomach while carrying a baby is never an option got it? So, try to eat and drink a little even if it makes you sick, alright?"
Fang Chi nodded just as Ye Liu returned with a cup of the sweet and salty drink, he handed it to Fang Chi, who took it with shaky hands. Even now everything felt like a dream to him.
However, just as he brought the cup to his mouth, another wave of nausea hit him and he realised that it wasn't a dream but his reality. Though he wished that it was a sweet reality like his dreams because he couldn't bring himself to take a single sip much less drink the entire cup, with a troubled expression, he turned to Shen Li. " Brother Li, I think I will drink this later on." After saying this, he tried to put the cup back on the table but then Shen Li grasped his hand and brought the cup back to his mouth.
" No, we can't do that, didn't I say? Staying empty stomach is never an option when you are with a child, now quickly drink it." Then even though Fang Chi was making faces like a child who was forced to swallow bitter medicine, Shen Li forced him to finish the drink, however, it was no good. Only two seconds later of finishing the drink, Fang Chi gagged again and Ye Liu immediately placed a bucket in front of him, he only brought it with him just in case but didn't think that it will actually come into use.
When Chen Mi was pregnant, his morning sickness wasn't as bad as Fang Chi's. At least he could drink water without throwing it all up.
Fang Chi picked up the bucket and then threw up the drink all at once. After he was done, he apologetically looked at the others but unfortunately for him, his brothers had no mercy for him as Shen Li turned to Chen Mi with a smile and said, "Mi, go and ask the kitchen to make a special bowl of porridge for Chi and while you are at it tell Dong Dong this good news as well."
