Mo Lingqiu’s morning sickness was rather serious, especially when the new semester started. Sometimes, when he was just sitting in the office, he would suddenly feel queasy and uncomfortable.
He didn’t want to eat the foods he usually liked to eat; when he saw chicken, duck, or fish, even just the scent would make him nauseous.
Jiang Chenming was worried about him. He would run to the South Campus every day after training. Because of his diligence, the students on the University forum spent a lot of time talking about him.
At the same time, there was a hot post on there titled: “People who click in are all warriors, the story of two people that has to be told”.
Uploader:
First of all, I want to cup my fist with my other hand towards all the ladies and gentlemen who clicked into the post. All of you are warriors worthy of respect.
It’s like this: this uploader’s interacted with Teacher Mo for a while. There was a time when I admired him and liked him very much, but after learning about him and Jiang School Prince from the PE Department, this landlord has decisively let him go.
As this landlord and Teacher Mo are “old acquaintances”, this landlord also knows Teacher Mo well.
And, just because I know him well, I recently discovered some strange things.
The first thing: Teacher Mo has always liked spicy food, especially the few stalls of spicy skewers on the snack street, but I haven’t seen him there recently, which is a bit abnormal.
The second thing: Teacher Mo hasn’t eaten in the University’s cafeteria since the beginning of the semester. Because of his frugal personality and the fact that he’s afraid of troubling other people, Teacher Mo has always been a frequent cafeteria visitor. It’s been a full month since he’s been there. It’s illogical and very abnormal.
The third thing: Jiang School Prince brings Teacher Mo meals every day, rain or shine. I’m moved. And Teacher Mo isn’t wearing shirts these days! Sometimes when I pass by his office, I’ll hear Jiang School Prince ask him, “Do you feel sick?” or “Do you still feel like throwing up?” My heart started pounding. It’s not simple, it’s extremely abnormal.
So, to sum it up: I have a frightening idea, we have no evidence, and we dare not say it.
1F: The first floor has been owned by the uploader since ancient times, up up, I need two warriors to come and play with me…
2F: Too long, don’t wanna read.
3F: Too long +1, so what’s the result? Goodbye if you won’t say it.
4F: The two previous warriors, please stay, don’t leave in such a hurry!
5F: So he’s pregnant?
6F: ? ? ? Upstairs is too bold.
7F: True or false? Who’s pregnant?
8F: 7th Floor, sober up. There’s only one Omega here, who else could be pregnant?
……
9L: …I have to admire 5th Floor. My dear brother and I thought the same thing.
…]
Since then, the University’s forum fell into chaos and the news of Mo Lingqiu’s pregnancy spread farther and wider. Soon, it reached Mo Lingqiu’s ears.
Yang Sheng and Liao Nan, two Alphas with tall, well-built figures, were standing in Mo Lingqiu’s office. Lively and outgoing Yang Sheng loudly asked, “Teacher Mo! Are you pregnant?”
Mo Lingqiu’s hand paused where it was holding his pen. “…How did you find out?”
“The whole school knows!” Yang Sheng said without exaggeration. “Someone uploaded a post on the school forum. We didn’t know until we saw that post.”
Liao Nan was very caring. “Teacher Mo, take a good break. We’ll try not to trouble you during this time.”
“No, it won’t affect work.” Mo Lingqiu had still been working very hard. It wasn’t so hard for him if he unloaded a burden from himself properly—when his morning sickness had been severe before, he still overcame it.
“… Are you really fine?” Yang Sheng was worried. “The forum said that you’re five months along.”
“…I’m not that far.” Mo Lingqiu had been wearing loose-fitting casual clothes, so his three-month belly wasn’t yet obvious.
After thinking about it for a minute, Yang Sheng agreed with him. If he’d been pregnant for five months, he would be able to see it.
“Teacher Mo, we’ll try to solve what we can by ourselves. We can always discuss it together anyway, so don’t worry.”
“Okay.” Mo Lingqiu suddenly felt that it wouldn’t be bad to take this opportunity to make his two doctoral students become independent.
Yang Sheng smiled. He took something out of his bag and placed it on Mo Lingqiu’s table. Liao Nan followed him and placed an item from his own bag onto the table.
“Teacher Mo, this is a gift from the two of us to your child. Please accept them.”
Mo Lingqiu was stunned. He stared at the delicately packaged baby bottle and baby napkin box on the table, not knowing what to say.
After a moment, he politely expressed his gratitude. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Rest, we’ll head out!” When he finished speaking, Yang Sheng quickly dragged Liao Nan out of the office, as if he didn’t want to leave his name after doing a good deed.
The corner of Mo Lingqiu’s mouth helplessly hooked up. He placed the token of his students’ sincerity into his briefcase and continued reading the book in his hand.
When Jiang Chenming arrived at his office, Mo Lingqiu had fallen asleep on the table. He couldn’t bear to wake him up, so he took him into his arms and leaned against the wall, becoming a human cushion.
“Hmm…” What Mo Lingqiu was dreaming about was a mystery, but he grappled at the air with both hands. When he was on the verge of slapping his slightly bulging belly, Jiang Chenming grabbed his hand.
He kissed Mo Lingqiu’s forehead before placing his hand on his belly bulge, slowly stroking it, placating the person in his arms.
Mo Lingqiu quickly calmed down and fell back into a deep sleep.
When the clock hit twelve, Jiang Chenming woke him up from his sound sleep. “Teacher Mo, it’s time for dinner.”
Mo Lingqiu opened his eyes in a daze. A moment passed and, after Jiang Chenming brazenly stole a kiss, he gradually came to his senses.
“What are we eating today?” The thing Mo Lingqiu looked forward to the most every day was eating, but it was also the thing he was most afraid of, because his current taste buds were very picky and he mainly wanted to serve the little ancestor in his stomach.
Jiang Chenming only named two dishes. “Egg custard with vegetable and tofu soup.”
Mo Lingqiu was a little unconvinced. “Just that?”
“And pork rib rice.”
Mo Lingqiu’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard those three words. “Okay.”
To Jiang Chenming, Mo Lingqiu was easy to coax. As long as he cooked something that he liked to eat, he would show a very cute expression.
When he opened one of the two lunch boxes, he saw a full layer of pork rib rice. The steamed pork ribs on the top were brown in colour, and they were topped with Jiang Chenming’s homemade sauce. The rice was puffy and fragrant. When he took off the whole layer of rice, there was still a layer of egg custard with a layer of soup underneath.
Mo Lingqiu didn’t eat very fast; he carefully picked the bones and slowly chewed the meat. He liked to eat, but he was afraid he would be uncomfortable if he ate too fast.
Jiang Chenming wasn’t in a hurry either; he helped Mo Lingqiu debone as he ate and then he put all the meat into his bowl.
Because Mo Lingqiu had probably had more than enough sleep, he had a good appetite. He ate two-thirds of the rice layer. Jiang Chenming helped him finish up the rest, and then he hugged him and sat to rest for a bit.
Mo Lingqiu hiccupped and noticed that the weather outside wasn’t bad. The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing, and it was quite cool. “I want to go out for a walk.”
“Then, let’s go.” Jiang Chenming half hugged him and stood. He took his hand and walked with him toward the field.
They walked slowly around the field twice. Mo Lingqiu’s legs were feeling a little sore, so he suggested they return to the office.
When they got back, Mo Lingqiu sat in his chair with a rather standard posture. Jiang Chenming couldn’t help but want him to relax, but Mo Lingqiu didn’t say anything.
When Jiang Chenming saw that he was still, he walked over. “Do you still want me to hug you?”
Mo Lingqiu shook his head. He didn’t know what to say. “…It’s not that.”
When he’d just come back from the walk, he thought he needed to go to the toilet, but, after sitting down and carefully taking stock of himself, that didn’t seem to be the case. The feeling was getting stronger and stronger, but it was more like… a sudden desire.
When he realised that Mo Lingqiu seemed to be hiding something, Jiang Chenming squatted down. “What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?”
Mo Lingqiu shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said, “What Bao Wen mentioned last time… that…”
Jiang Chenming was momentarily stunned. After they had done the pregnancy test, they contacted Bao Wen. At the time, he had reminded them of some precautions to take during pregnancy. When he tried to recall what Bao Wen had said before, something came to his mind. Uncertain, he asked, “Teacher Mo, are you feeling it?”
“…En.” Mo Lingqiu’s voice was very low.
Jiang Chenming was happy, but he suppressed his ecstatic expression. He helped Mo Lingqiu stand up and then let him sit on his lap.
