1979: My fiancée is a goddess

"Woooooooo..."

It was 6:30 in the evening, and the sky had already darkened.

The heavy snowfall, accompanied by the fierce howling north wind, completely sealed off this ancient capital city along with the night.

The lobby of Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing was brightly lit and bustling with people. Patients kept coming in, and doctors and nurses walked by, making it a lively and noisy place. The heating was on inside, making it feel like springtime.

It contrasts sharply with the dim and cold outside the door.

The obstetrics and gynecology clinic on the third floor, located deep in the corridor by the window, appeared very quiet and peaceful, even revealing a cautious atmosphere, probably because most of the people who came here were pregnant women.

It was 6:30 p.m.

Several heavily pregnant women were still sitting on the wooden benches outside the outpatient clinic, holding their hospital test results and patiently waiting to be summoned by the nurses inside.

Some pregnant women came for checkups alone, while others were accompanied by their husbands or partners.

Among them, a slender young woman stood out conspicuously amidst the pregnant women with their large bellies.

This made several women pay close attention while waiting for their appointments.

This girl was stunningly beautiful, with a gentle and quiet demeanor, and her clothes were fresh and elegant, clearly indicating that she was not from an ordinary family.

She's very young, probably only in her early twenties, not even old enough to get married yet.

She has a very slender and tall figure, and her stomach is very flat, so she doesn't look like she's pregnant.

Fortunately, she came with her partner; if she had come alone, the women would probably have been suspicious.

How come someone so young is in the obstetrics and gynecology department?
However, a young woman is a young woman after all, and with her rich experience, she could easily guess that this young couple had most likely been having premarital sex and had just discovered signs of pregnancy, so they rushed to the hospital for a checkup.

"These young people nowadays, really..."

Several women secretly shook their heads.

……

"call……"

Liu Xiaoli didn't pay attention to the gossipy stares of others. She sat quietly in the chair, her arm unconsciously wrapped around Cheng Kaiyan, tightly, somewhat awkwardly and stiffly.

The dragonfly lowered its head slightly, its delicate eyebrows furrowed gently.

Her thick, jet-black hair cascaded down onto her white mink coat, the contrast of black and white making her stand out strikingly.

Her fair, jade-like hands were intertwined, her fingertips caressing the ruby ​​ring on her ring finger.

He didn't seem particularly emotional, but it wasn't a look of deep panic.

I'm just a little lost and don't know what to do.

After suddenly learning from Cheng Kaiyan that she might be pregnant, Liu Xiaoli quickly recalled the details of her life recently, and each instance she didn't want to recall shocked her.

There have been quite a few unusual situations recently.

Needless to say, I feel nauseous several times today alone.

In addition, my appetite has increased. I used to eat one bowl of rice, but now I need to eat half a bowl more, especially after theater training, when I get hungry even faster.

And that one hasn't come for a while either.

All these unusual circumstances point to an impossible possibility.

I am most likely pregnant.

Realizing this, Liu Xiaoli, who usually considered herself calm and composed, found her mind in turmoil. After sitting for only a short while, a variety of complex emotions and thoughts kept flashing through her mind.

It made her feel uneasy; how could she suddenly be pregnant?
This came too suddenly, catching Liu Xiaoli completely off guard.

After all, she was only a 22-year-old girl who had always lived in the ivory tower of family and school.

She hasn't seriously considered when to have children, how to become a mother, or how to raise them...

I'm not mentally prepared to be a mother at all.

Liu Xiaoli was unusually flustered, tense and anxious.

However, she had already briefly discussed the child with Cheng Kaiyan after their relationship progressed.

I was quite nervous at the time, worried that I might argue or have a conflict with Cheng Kaiyan because of this.

After all, the two knew and loved each other, and were already engaged, promising to grow old together and spend the rest of their lives together.

Having children for her husband is one of her responsibilities as a wife.

Moreover, Liu Xiaoli also hopes to give birth to a child with their blood in the future.

But Liu Xiaoli still has to go to university and pursue her future dance career. Pregnancy and childbirth would be a huge burden. It's not that she can't have children, but the process of pregnancy, childbirth, and raising children is very time-consuming. She would have to stay at home for at least two or three years and wouldn't be able to get away from it.

The ages of twenty-two to twenty-five are the golden years of Liu Xiaoli's life and her dance career.

So from the very beginning, she didn't plan to have children in the next few years.

Fortunately, she was relieved and touched that after their heart-to-heart talk, Comrade Xiao Cheng was also willing to support her.

Therefore, the two reached a consensus that although they did not take any safety precautions during their daily intimate moments, they consciously kept things within the safe period and tried to avoid danger as much as possible.

But man proposes, God disposes; perhaps this time it was fate?

After much deliberation, the situation has become quite clear to her.

There is an almost irreconcilable conflict between this child and his current studies and dance career.

Under the current education system, college students are not allowed to get married, let alone get pregnant.

Pregnancy meant her studies were cut short, and she was on the verge of being expelled from school.

This month, she was interning at the China National Opera & Dance Drama Theater, and her pregnancy means that her dance career will be forced to stop, or even ruined...

Just like that year in southern Xinjiang, she was forced to give up due to an unexpected event...

Think about this.

Liu Xiaoli felt a complex mix of emotions, a sense of unease that was hard to dispel, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She could only bite her lips, which were bleeding slightly, and glare hatefully at Cheng Kaiyan beside her.

It's all that bastard's fault...

Liu Xiaoli felt an urge to bite him hard to relieve her frustration and unease.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoli..."

Cheng Kaiyan keenly sensed Liu Xiaoli's agitated and complicated emotions, and turned to meet the girl's trembling eyes.

But Liu Xiaoli didn't say anything.

She lowered her head silently, her complex and silent gaze settling on her flat stomach, her eyes gradually softening.

Some emotions slowly faded and dissipated, and a gentle, tender, and expectant feeling gradually emerged from the dark depths of his eyes.

"Baby……"

Liu Xiaoli called out softly in her heart.

If nothing else happens.

Deep within her flat, soft abdomen, a small life, carrying the blood and genes of both her and Cheng Kaiyan, was taking shape.

No matter how much trouble and confusion her arrival caused him.

But for Liu Xiaoli, without a doubt, this little life was God's most precious gift to her, a symbol of her love with Cheng Kaiyan, and the crystallization of their love.

"Baby, you've really given Mommy a big problem..."

Liu Xiaoli sighed softly, her already furrowed brows deepening.

She raised her hand and gently stroked her lower abdomen, as if she could feel the response of the little life inside. Slowly, the tension and unease deep in her beautiful eyes returned to gentle calm.

She has stopped thinking about it and worrying about what to do, leaving everything to fate.

Liu Xiaoli sat quietly on the wooden chair, silently watching the snowflakes fluttering under the streetlights and the howling wind outside the window.

She patiently waited for the doctor's notification and for the result to appear.

……

"Sister Xiaoli..."

Cheng Kaiyan felt a pang of pain in her heart as she looked at the girl's silent expression. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she only stroked her soft hair.

After bringing Liu Xiaoli to the hospital, Cheng Kaiyan stayed by her side the whole time, never moving an inch.

He silently stayed by the side of the girl he loved most, protecting her and their child.

Cheng Kaiyan, who had just learned about Xiaoli's pregnancy on the street, was also in a state of confusion and complex emotions.

He, a transmigrator and reborn person, was originally just a fleeting, solitary passerby in this world.

But fate and destiny brought them together.

Now, Cheng Kaiyan and his girlfriend are having a baby together.

This makes his connection with the world more harmonious and closer.

Cheng Kaiyan is no longer a passerby who appeared out of thin air in this world, but a real person.

No matter how many deeds, works, legends, or fortunes Cheng Kaiyan left behind in this world...

But these are not actually strong proof that he truly exists in this world.

The tiny, fragile life inside Xiaoli's womb is the true proof of his existence in this world; he came, he left...

This child is the continuation of his life, soul, and bloodline, and the most beautiful fruit of the love between him and Xiaoli.

How could Cheng Kaiyan not be captivated and her soul stirred by her appearance?

"call……"

At this moment, Cheng Kaiyan took a deep breath and turned to look at her side.

Under the bright, soft light of the corridor, his red, moist eyes revealed boundless tenderness as he quietly watched Xiaoli gently and calmly stroking her lower abdomen.

At that moment, Cheng Kaiyan noticed that Xiaoli's beautiful and flawless face had gained a unique maternal glow.

It was so gentle, so loving, so warm...

"Om-"

This scene, witnessed by Cheng Kaiyan, instantly left his mind blank, and his eyes stung so much that he was almost in tears.

He knew that Xiaoli was feeling very complicated and heavy-hearted.

But Cheng Kaiyan also understood that this little life felt the same way she did. She loved this fragile little life just as deeply, and she too eagerly awaited its birth and arrival…

"Crack!"

At that moment, the closed door of the outpatient room opened, and a woman with a large pregnant belly walked out.

"Number 12, is Comrade Liu Xiaoli here? Your test results are in, please come in for a moment."

A young nurse, wearing a white coat and a nurse's cap, followed behind Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli, carrying medical records. She looked at them and said, "Your partner is here too, right? Your partner can come in as well."

"I'm here!"

Liu Xiaoli and Cheng Kaiyan snapped out of their daze and quickly got up.

The young couple exchanged a glance, gave each other a gentle, encouraging look, and then walked into the clinic side by side.

"Please have a seat, comrades."

Behind the desk opposite them sat a middle-aged female doctor with a somewhat serious face and sharp eyes. She saw the two of them come in.

After carefully examining the two, he couldn't help but frown.

too young.

"Hello doctor."

The two greeted each other.

"Hello, you can just call me Dr. Li."

Dr. Li withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, picked up a report, and handed it out. "Comrade Liu Xiaoli, right? The test results are in."

"Doctor, what were the results?"

Seeing the doctor's serious expression, Liu Xiaoli and Cheng Kaiyan became anxious and asked in a slightly nervous voice.

"Comrade Liu Xiaoli, you are indeed pregnant. According to your menstrual cycle and ultrasound examination, the baby is already more than seven weeks along."

Dr. Li looked at the test results and announced.

"call……"

As expected, she was pregnant. Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief almost simultaneously.

Liu Xiaoli instinctively put her hands in front of her body to protect herself.

Dr. Li picked up the medical record and shook his head after seeing Liu Xiaoli's age.

With the reform and opening up, many educated youth who went to the countryside have returned to the city. In the past two years, there have been many young men and women who became pregnant out of wedlock and went to the hospital for abortions.

As a veteran doctor in the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department, Dr. Li has seen far too many cases like this.

These two young people are probably in trouble too...

However, since this young couple is so good-looking, their child must be exceptionally beautiful as well.

What a pity.

With this in mind, Dr. Li asked with an extremely serious expression, "You two are both quite young, only twenty-two years old. Do you want this child?"

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Liu Xiaoli felt all the chaotic thoughts in her mind vanish in an instant, leaving only one thought.

"Of course!"

She jumped up and said excitedly.

This is her baby, of course she wants it!!!
No one can take her away from you, not even the doctors.

"we want!"

Cheng Kaiyan looked at the incredibly determined and earnest girl in front of him with some surprise and delight, and soon he followed closely behind.

"That's good. Congratulations to you both."

Dr. Li's expression softened, and he gave a joyful smile, cupping his hands in congratulations.

"thanks, thanks……"

Liu Xiaoli took a breath and a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

"Alright, you two, since you want this child, you'd better be extra careful from today onwards."

Dr. Li's expression turned serious again. She pulled out a parenting manual, some pregnancy care manuals compiled by the hospital, and some nutritional supplements specifically for pregnant women from her drawer, and said:

"Take these; they're all free from the government and hospital. Next, we'll talk about some precautions during pregnancy. First, we need to strictly control sexual intercourse in early pregnancy, otherwise..."

Dr. Li patiently explained each point, and when he talked about some private topics, Liu Xiaoli and Cheng Kaiyan were a little embarrassed and blushed, but they still listened attentively.

About ten minutes later, the pregnancy-related educational session ended.

"Alright, please leave your names and contact addresses. Come for a check-up every one or two weeks initially, and then every two to three weeks once the fetus has stabilized."

Remember the precautions we just mentioned. Young people shouldn't let momentary pleasure lead them astray...

Perhaps because the two were very good at dating and were young and inexperienced, Dr. Li talked on and on.

When it came time to sign his name and contact address, Dr. Li realized something upon seeing Cheng Kaiyan's name. He looked up at Cheng Kaiyan in surprise and asked, "Comrade, are you the famous writer, Comrade Cheng Kaiyan?"

"Yes, Dr. Li."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled and nodded.

"Oh, it's you. If you have any problems after you get back, come to the hospital to see me anytime."

Dr. Li smiled and saw the two off before continuing to see the remaining pregnant women.

……

After leaving Union Hospital, Cheng Kaiyan pushed her bicycle and walked home with Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Xiaoli held the handbook and looked at it as she walked: "I can't believe it's already seven weeks. The handbook says this is the time when morning sickness starts... Oh my god, it's going to get worse and worse in the next few weeks."

"What should we do, Kaiyan?"

At this point, Xiaoli's face turned pitiful. Half worried and half joking, she said, "I threw up after brushing my teeth today, and I didn't feel well when I practiced dancing at the theater this morning. I felt like throwing up immediately after jogging this afternoon. It's all because of you, baby. You're so naughty... to make your mother suffer like this."

"There must be ways to alleviate this, but no matter what, I will stay with you."

Cheng Kaiyan couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the girl touching her belly and talking to her baby.

This girl probably doesn't know that babies these days are only seven weeks old and not even the size of a bowl, right?

However, after getting over the pregnancy, Xiaoli's mood improved a lot. At least she had made a decision and didn't have to struggle with it anymore.

As for the consequences of this decision, that's something the two of them will have to face together later.

"Uh-huh."

Liu Xiaoli nodded gently, feeling much better after hearing his words.

But then I thought about the school and the theater...

She was still a little worried.

"Alright, alright, stop looking at things while walking, or you'll fall."

Cheng Kaiyan kept a close eye on the pregnant girl and reminded her with concern, "You're about to become a mother, so you need to be more careful."

"Know it!"

Liu Xiaoli then noticed this, stuck out her tongue, quickly closed the book, and focused on the ground beneath her feet.

After walking for a while, as they neared their doorstep, Cheng Kaiyan grasped the girl's delicate shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and solemnly promised:
"No matter what happens, we'll face it together."

Just relax and focus on your pregnancy. No matter what, I will absolutely take care of everything outside. I will not let you suffer any more grievances or sacrifice your future and career.

I'll figure something out regarding the Beijing Dance Academy and the theater.

As Liu Xiaoli felt the warmth of his lips against her ear and heard his solemn and firm promise, the heavy weight in her heart finally lifted.

Sure enough, he hadn't misjudged him; Kaiyan saw his hardships and sacrifices.

This was his promise: she could just stay home and focus on her pregnancy, and he would take care of everything else.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli smiled, turned around, tiptoed, and gave Cheng Kaiyan a sweet kiss on the lips.

"Yes, I believe you, Comrade Xiao Cheng."

The girl then looked up at him intently with her small face and said earnestly.

"Thank you for your trust, Sister Xiaoli."

Cheng Kaiyan returned a gentle kiss.

The two smiled at each other and went home hand in hand.

Back at Wutong Courtyard.

"Kaiyan? Xiaoli? What are you two doing here now? Have you had dinner?"

"Nope!"

"There's leftover food for dinner, Mom will heat it up for you two."

Xu Yuxiu put down the TV and hurried to the kitchen, but was stopped by Cheng Kaiyan.

"Mom! I have some amazing news to tell you!!"

"What good news?"

"Xiaoli is pregnant!"

"What?! You're pregnant? Really?"

Xu Yuxiu looked at her daughter-in-law Liu Xiaoli with a face full of surprise and asked again.

"It's true, Mom."

Liu Xiaoli smiled quietly and nodded.

"call……"

Xu Yuxiu took a deep breath, silently processing this incredible surprise, and exclaimed with joy and excitement, "Our Cheng family finally has an heir!"

Seeing their mother so excited, Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Xiaoli, come and sit down quickly. Are you cold? Are you hungry? Kaiyan, go heat up the food. Mom wants to chat with Xiaoli..."

Xu Yuxiu quickly calmed down, carefully supporting Liu Xiaoli and offering her words of comfort, while casually instructing Cheng Kaiyan on what to do. (End of Chapter)
