Chapter 982: Pregnant (3)

Mu Lingshi got the confirmation in a short while.

She was one-month pregnant!

The entire Mu family was overjoyed when the news reached them. Even Ah Mo, who was usually calm and collected, could not help but hold Mu Lingshi up happily. He could not even find the words to describe his feelings.

The Mu family had a feast that night to celebrate. Everyone gathered around and shared the joy together.

However, Xi Xiaye was absent because she was still in the hospital. Moreover, her wounds had not healed, so she would not be able to eat the feast prepared anyway. The only thing she could do was to ask her man to congratulate them for her.

When the evening arrived, the golden rays of sunset covered the horizon. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

Xi Xiaye sat on the rattan chair beside the window as she looked at the beautiful sky with a peaceful expression on her face. After some time, she fell asleep while enjoying the view.

However, she suddenly felt a warm feeling on her when she was asleep. She opened her eyes and noticed Mu Zirui putting a blanket on her.

“Xiao Rui? Why are you here?” Xi Xiaye looked at Mu Zirui in shock.

“Mother!” Mu Zirui blinked his eyes and looked at Xi Xiaye straight in the eye. He let go of his school bag. “I called Uncle Mo and he told me that you’re sick, so I begged him for a long time for him to tell me that you’re here! I missed you!”

“You came here alone?” Xi Xiaye widened her eyes as she sat up and asked Mu Zirui.

Mu Zirui nodded.

“You’re unbelievable! City Z is not that safe of a city. How could you just wander around on your own? Didn’t we tell you to head back home right after school? What if bad people caught you? Do you know what the bad people do to the children they kidnap? They cut you open and take away your organs and your eyes as well. Do you understand?” Xi Xiaye put on a serious expression as she gave Mu Zirui a good scolding.

Xi Xiaye was a little paranoid after watching some news about children being abducted lately. Mu Zirui was still young after all!

“I won’t get lost, Mother. I recognize the streets. I won’t get lost as long as I reach the train stations…” Mu Zirui lowered his head in guilt as he explained himself. He raised his head and looked at the angry Xi Xiaye. “Please don’t be angry at me. I won’t do it anymore!”

“I’ll let your father take care of you if you dare to try anything funny again! Do you hear me?” Xi Xiaye stared into Mu Zirui’s eyes, and he quickly nodded.

“I understand, Mother!” Mu Zirui replied quietly. He put his bag onto the sofa and went to get Xi Xiaye a glass of water. “Here’s some water, Mother.”

“It’s fine. You can have it. Use that towel to dry your hair. You might get the flu with all that sweat on you.” Xi Xiaye pointed at the neatly folded towel on the cupboard beside her.

“Oh!” Mu Zirui walked over. “Mother, do you remember the little girl from last time? She’s in the same class as me. I didn’t expect her to be five already. She’s even several months older than me!”

Little girl?

Xi Xiaye instantly remembered the little girl that Mu Zirui bumped into at the entrance of the school the other day!

Qi Weier!

Gu Lingsha was telling the truth then. That girl did seem pretty frail with her pale expression and her weak demeanor.

Xi Xiaye was getting curious, so she asked Mu Zirui, “Did she talk to you?”

Mu Zirui dried his hair with the towel as he replied, “Mmm, we spoke. She doesn’t look like she likes to talk. She’s been in our class for a few days, and she didn’t say a word aside from several sentences to me.”

“What did she say to you?” Xi Xiaye asked gently as she extended her arms towards Mu Zirui, so he walked closer to her.

“She said she wants to sit beside me, but I don’t like to sit beside anyone, so I declined and changed seats with her. I sit in the last row now,” Mu Zirui answered.

Xi Xiaye nodded.

“Mother, for the parent-teacher meeting on the 10th, are you coming or is Father going to come?” Mu Zirui asked.

“Ask your father to go. I’m afraid I wouldn’t have recovered by then.”

“Are you in pain?”

“It’s fine. I’ll heal real soon. I can go home tomorrow…Alright, take a break now and get started on your homework. I’ll check on it since it’s been quite a few days since I last checked your homework. Your father will be coming here later and he’ll arrange a car to send you back.”

…

When Mu Yuchen entered the room, he saw the scene of the mother and son having fun while talking to each other with numerous exercise books left open on the coffee table.

“What does this mean?” Mu Zirui pointed at a word on the textbook and asked Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye looked away from the exercise book and looked at the word Mu Zirui was pointing at. “Twilight years. It’s used to describe the last years of a human.”

“Oh, so Great-grandfather and Great-grandmother are in their twilight years. Then, what about Grandfather and Grandmother?”

“This phrase is more suitable for people who are much older. Your grandfather and grandmother are still pretty young. The phrase is mostly for people at an extremely old age. You should take note of that. Languages have evolved over the years. In ancient times, we used to use a twelve-hour time system and have a specific name for each of them, but we’re using numbers now…You need to be flexible when it comes to absorbing knowledge. The information in the books are limited, and there’s a limit to how much your teacher can pass on to you. You need to have a flexible mind. Do you understand?”

As Xi Xiaye taught Mu Zirui patiently, he nodded. “I understand. I’ll do my best!”

Xi Xiaye smiled and gently tapped Mu Zirui’s head with her finger. “Your father and I will be proud of you as long as you become a positive and kind person!”
