Chapter 161 Wanting to Lay Eggs

The Marshal's wife stayed for dinner. Before leaving, she gave Lu Lianbai some instructions and said that she would discuss the wedding arrangements with him in detail after he returned from his business in the Sixth Military Region.

Jing Weimian was unaware of these human formalities and didn't care much about them.

These past few days, she has been spending a long time in the baby's room every night.

She said she would help her child with homework, but in reality, the child was seriously drawing a children's starship blueprint while she was just flipping through books haphazardly.

After flipping through the books for ages, I finally managed to get a book that I was somewhat interested in from the other side of the bookshelf.

Upon opening it, I was surprised to find that it was Jing Xiaoyu's incubation record book, which had been repeatedly flipped through and creased, with detailed notes on every page.

"Oh my God."

Jing Weimian flipped through a few pages, which were filled with detailed records of Jing Xiaoyu's eggshell color changes, hatching progress, and so on, every day.

All of them were written by Lu Lianbai himself.

Jing Xiaoyu looked up and saw her mother looking at this, so she told her mother, "This is the record book that Dad used when he hatched me. Dad said he knows all about the experience of hatching mermaids by heart, but Xiaoyu doesn't understand it very well, so she asked Dad for this book."

Jing Xiaoyu came over and read a few pages with her mother, then said, "Xiaoyu studies a few pages every day now. When Mom gives birth to the baby fish eggs, I can help incubate them with Dad, just like Dad did."

Jing Weimian pouted.

Jing Xiaoyu nervously raised her little hand and touched her mother's cheek. "What's wrong, Mom?"

"Mommy is so touched." Jing Weimian couldn't help but reach out and hug her baby. "Baby is so good, and baby's dad is so good too."

Jing Weimian wiped the baby's eyes with the baby's webbed feet and told the baby that she was fine before letting the baby continue drawing his drawings, while she continued to look at the manual.

Not long after, Lu Lianbai came and knocked on the door.

"Honey, it's almost time to rest."

Jing Weimian, who was lying next to the manual she was reading halfway through, heard this and her eyes flickered slightly. She grabbed Jing Xiaoyu's watch to check the time, twisted the tip of her wrist a little rebelliously, and muttered, "It's not time yet. I want to stay with the baby a little longer. You can come later."

Lu Lianbai had no choice but to leave.

As soon as the door closed, Jing Weimian couldn't help but secretly complain to her baby about Lu Lianbai's faults, "Your dad is so strict with me now, it's so annoying, he even has to time his sleep precisely."

“Dad used to discipline Xiaoyu like this too… Xiaoyu is used to it.” Jing Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then looked up and asked, “Will Mom feel uncomfortable? Should Xiaoyu try to talk to Dad…”

"Hmm... never mind, let him mind if he wants to."

Jing Weimian was too embarrassed to tell the baby...

She actually felt sweet even when she was complaining.

Perhaps because she had spent a long time adrift at sea alone during her childhood, she actually quite liked being managed by Lu Lianbai like this.

It will give her a sense of belonging to a home.

Therefore, when Lu Lianbai knocked on the door again ten minutes later, Jing Weimian finally obediently let Lu Lianbai carry her back to her room.

She rolled up the bedsheet and played with it for a while. When Lu Lianbai came from the baby's room, adjusted the temperature, and returned to the bedside, she couldn't wait to wrap her tail fin around his leg, pounce on him on the bed, and lie on top of him.

She then pulled his pajamas collar open to both sides and pressed her face against his firm and muscular chest.

Is the baby asleep?

"Yes, I just went to take a look."

As always, Lu Lianbai followed the mermaid's pregnancy guide, gently stroking Jing Weimian's soft, pregnant belly before bedtime. Jing Weimian nestled against his chest, whimpering a few times, adjusting to a more comfortable position, and as usual, was quickly soothed to sleep by Lu Lianbai's gentle caresses.

However, it happened in the middle of the night.

Jing Weimian suddenly woke up.

In a daze, her slender webbed hands touched the side of her pelvic fin, and the slight swelling of the gestational sac made her want to get into the water immediately.

Jing Weimian was not fully awake yet. She just looked around anxiously with her eyes downcast before lifting the covers and getting out of bed.

Dragging its tail, it instinctively found the incubation area and swam to the deep seabed, where Lu Lianbai personally planned and simulated a suitable nest for the mermaid's gestation period.

Deep within a cave surrounded by pink coral reefs.

Jing Weimian swam into the nest that was decorated beautifully and was very safe.

Pick up your fishtail and quickly roll yourself up like a cake roll.

Every now and then, it lowers its head and uses its tongue to gently massage the slightly contracting gestation cavity of its lower fin, injecting a healing and soothing tidal current into the fry.

She spoke very slowly, making sure that every scale near her pelvic fin that was twitching restlessly was soothed.

When Lu Lianbai, wearing diving gear, descended and followed them to the outside of the nest, Jing Weimian was holding her pink fish tail, her tongue lolling and dozing off intermittently. Even her drowsiness didn't stop her from coaxing the little fish eggs.

They're just...so cute.

"Wife?"

Lu Lianbai gently tapped the edge of the cave and called to her softly.

"Hmm?" Jing Weimian opened her watery eyes in a daze and saw Lu Lianbai guarding her on one side of the nest. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she even moved her fish tail a little further in. "Come in."

Lu Lianbai said helplessly, "I can't get in."

The nest space for mermaids to lay eggs cannot be too large, otherwise the mermaids will not feel safe enough to lay their eggs.

Therefore, he specifically designed the nest space according to the one-to-one proportion of Jing Weimian's mermaid form.

Lu Lianbai reached out and touched the pink filaments that Jing Weimian was draped out of the cave entrance, and asked gently, "Is my wife feeling unwell? Why did you suddenly come here to sleep?"

Jing Weimian glanced at him slowly, then instinctively lowered her head, licking the still slightly throbbing fish scales, and told him with a hint of grievance, "My belly is a little bloated, I want to lay eggs."

Lu Lianbai was taken aback. "Now? There are still sixteen days until my wife's due date."

"I don't know, maybe you've been feeding them too well, and the baby fish eggs are eager to hatch because they've absorbed enough nutrients..."

Lu Lianbai frowned, clearly very worried. He moved very close and gently slid his hand over Jing Weimian's anxiously curled tail fin. "Wife, shall I go and call Dr. Phil over now?"

"No."

Jing Weimian's fins trembled and wrapped around a few of his fingers, then she tensed her tail tip to feel it, "...Now, it seems I don't want to lay eggs anymore."

Lu Lianbai comforted her, "It's probably because the baby fish eggs have grown and are moving around a lot in the gestation sac, causing this feeling of fullness. Honey, come a little closer, let me rub it?"

Jing Weimian looked down at her slightly swollen pregnant belly, then huffed and puffed as she moved to the entrance of the nest, her pregnant belly sticking out pitifully as she asked, "Do we have to wait sixteen days?"

"It might be a few days earlier."

Lu Lianbai reached out and pulled the pitiful, curled-up pink mermaid into his arms. Warm spiritual energy flowed through his palm as he circled his wife's pregnant belly, kissing her forehead and coaxing, "I will always be with my wife."
