Young Master He's mermaid baby is super sweet

The next day, He Shizhou woke up as soon as he heard the noise. He looked down at the person in his arms, placed a light kiss on the little guy's face, and then slowly released him and got up.

Luo You is a light sleeper, and since becoming pregnant, he has been waking up frequently, so he noticed He Shizhou's movement.

Luo You opened her eyes groggily and looked at He Shizhou, then snuggled closer to him.

"He Shizhou, hold her for a while, hold her for a while before going to work, Youyou is still sleepy."

Luo You hadn't realized where they were yet, assuming they were still at home. He Shizhou was getting ready to get up for work, and Luo You habitually held He Shizhou and lingered a little longer before letting him get up.

He Shizhou smiled helplessly, leaned over and planted a kiss on the corner of his lips, his voice soft and hoarse from just waking up.

"Baby, I don't have to go to work today. Grandpa's up, and I'm going to do my morning exercise with him. You can sleep a little longer. Breakfast is ready; I'll come wake you up, okay?"

Luo You glanced at He Shizhou again and raised his cheek towards him.

"Give me a kiss before you leave."

He Shizhou agreed, kissed his lips again, then got up, covered the little guy with the blanket, and let him continue sleeping.

It was only a short time since dawn, and given the little guy's tendency to sleep, he would need to sleep for at least several more hours before waking up, so He Shizhou didn't disturb him and got up on his own.

As people get older, they tend to sleep less, and since he goes to bed early at night, Grandpa Su got up very early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking.

When He Shizhou walked into the courtyard, he found him practicing Tai Chi.

Hearing the noise, Grandpa Su turned his head to look, said nothing, and continued practicing. He Shizhou walked over and stood beside him, following his rhythm and moving together.

After a while, Old Master Su spoke first, his voice tinged with a sigh.

"You have a good memory. You practiced here for a few days, and then you stopped practicing when you went back. It's rare that you still remember it."

He Shizhou smiled and said, "How could I forget what I learned from my grandfather when I was little? I have to practice with him every day when I come here every year."

Grandpa Su finally smiled and nodded: "It's just that when you come over every year, someone will keep this old man company while he practices. After I'm gone, there will be no one to practice with."

"Grandpa, don't say that. You're in good health." He Shizhou paused after speaking, glanced at the expression on the face of the person beside him, and then tentatively continued, "Grandpa, my mom asked me to bring you some things. Would you like to take a look later?"

Grandpa Su's expression stiffened. He didn't answer He Shizhou's question but instead withdrew his hand gesture, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Little Zhou, are you hungry? Grandpa will make you something to eat. Is the child you brought back still not awake?"

He Shizhou stopped mentioning the matter and pretended that he hadn't said anything at all, speaking to the kitchen.

"Grandpa, don't worry about him. He's been very sleepy lately and hasn't woken up yet. I'll make it for him later."

There was no more sound coming from the kitchen. He Shizhou sighed and sat down under the grape trellis.

The warm morning sunlight slanted across the grape trellis and then filtered through the gaps in the leaves to fall on the ground. He Shizhou stared blankly at the dappled sunlight on the stone table.

He didn't know how to intervene in the conflict between his maternal grandfather and his mother, but he didn't want things to continue like this.

Back then, Su Yin had her eye on He Qi, but she knew he had a girlfriend, so she didn't pursue him.

However, the He family later encountered financial difficulties and set their sights on the Su family. They lied to Su Yin, saying that He Qi and that woman had completely separated and would never be together again. That's why Su Yin was determined to marry He Qi, and she even had a big fight with her family for it.

At the time, Grandpa Su knew that the He family had impure motives, and Grandma Su was adamant that she would not allow her daughter to marry him. However, she could not persuade them in the end and was so angry that she fell ill.

At that time, He Shizhou was not around, so he didn't know much. In the end, the Su family gave a considerable dowry and almost severed ties with Su Yin. The old lady Su's health deteriorated, and she passed away in less than two years. Because of the old lady Su's death, it became an unresolved knot between father and daughter.

In fact, He Shizhou could understand his mother. After all, she had sacrificed too much to marry He Qi. That's why Su Yin was so upset when He Linyan was brought to the He family by his mother, and even after more than ten years, she still couldn't fully accept He Linyan.

"Xiao Shizhou, go to the garden and pick a few scallions for me." The sudden voice interrupted He Shizhou's thoughts. He Shizhou came back to his senses, responded, and got up to pick the scallions.

......

When Luo You woke up, it was almost noon. He sat up in bed and it took him a while to realize that he was not at home.

He looked around and, seeing that He Shizhou wasn't around, found some clothes for himself to wear.

Pushing open the door, I saw He Shizhou and Grandpa Su sitting in the living room playing chess.

Hearing the sound, He Shizhou turned his head and saw Luo You reaching out his hand to him.

"Baby, come here and sit for a while."

Luo You obediently walked over, and then He Shizhou pulled him over to sit down next to him.

Luo You looked at the chessboard with some curiosity. He had seen it before, but this was the first time he had seen someone play it, so he watched the two people play chess attentively.

Before long, He Shizhou was defeated, and he sighed with a hint of helplessness.

"Grandpa, I can never beat you. I always lose, and you never know how to let me win."

Grandpa Su glanced at him, then looked at Luo You beside him.

"Ever since he came, your mind has been elsewhere. Even when I give you a handicap, you still can't beat me."

He Shizhou put his arm around Luo You's waist and chuckled, but he had to admit that it was true. He had just been thinking that he should finish quickly so he could cook for the little guy, otherwise he and the baby in his belly would go hungry.

"Grandpa, Youyou doesn't know how to play this, but he learns quickly. Can you teach him? I'll go cook for him; he'll be hungry if he doesn't eat after waking up." He Shizhou got up and let Luo You sit in his seat.

Luo You tugged at He Shizhou's sleeve, but after a while she let go and whispered, "Grandpa."

He had said yesterday that he wanted to get along well with his grandfather, so even though he didn't want to be alone with a stranger, Luo You still made himself agree, after all, the person on the other end was He Shizhou's grandfather.

"Alright, I'll give him a proper explanation of the Chu River and Han Border. It's been a long time since anyone has listened to me properly," Grandpa Su agreed.

Luo You smiled at him, and the old man and the young man sat together talking in hushed tones. He Shizhou didn't wait and quickly went to the kitchen.

He used to prepare breakfast before going to work so the little guy could eat it as soon as he woke up. But there's nothing here that can keep it warm, and He Shizhou doesn't have to go to work, so he didn't prepare it in advance. It's not troublesome to prepare it after the little guy wakes up.

There was porridge in the pot. He Shizhou fried an egg pancake for Luo You, boiled two eggs, and added some pickled vegetables from his own home. A simple breakfast was ready.

When he brought it back to the room, Luo You was already playing chess with his grandfather. Although he still didn't understand anything and kept asking questions, he still dared to make moves.

He Shizhou put out the breakfast and went over to take a look. The old man was just teasing him. He could have won the game in just a few moves, but he deliberately moved to the side, giving the little guy a chance to take the next step.

"Grandpa, that's enough. Please stop teasing him. I've already made breakfast." He Shizhou watched for a while and couldn't help but remind him.

Grandpa Su then took two serious steps and finally nimbly accepted Luo You's "handsome" gift.

Luo You knew he had lost, but he still lingered there, reluctant to leave, and looked up at He Shizhou with a pitiful expression.

"Alright, stop playing around, let's eat first." He Shizhou pulled him up and led him to the table.

Luo You pouted, but still ate her meal seriously.

Grandpa Su also dusted off his clothes and stood up.

"You guys keep eating, I'm going out for a walk. You brought so much stuff, I can't eat it all myself, so I'll take some to the neighbors."

He Shizhou agreed and watched him walk out.

"He Shizhou, chess is fun, shall we play it later?" Luo You leaned over and whispered to He Shizhou.

He Shizhou glanced at him and pinched his cheek.

"Do you even know how to play? You're just clamoring to play."

Luo You nodded seriously.

"Yes, Youyou can do it. Grandpa just praised Youyou for being so good." Luo You showed a smug look in her eyes and boasted softly.

He Shizhou chuckled softly a few times and reached out to pat his head.

"Okay, I know Youyou is the best, but it's no fun staying cooped up in the room after coming all this way. I'll take you out for a walk in a bit. There's a river not far away, and there are fish in it."

Upon hearing about the river and fish, Luo You's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously before continuing to eat heartily.

But he couldn't eat much; after a while, he rubbed his stomach and stopped eating.

"He Shizhou, Youyou seems to have gained weight; her belly is showing." Touching her belly, Luo You looked somewhat troubled.

He's been eating several meals a day lately, and not only has he gained back the weight he lost during his pregnancy, but he's also gained even more; he's gotten quite fat.

"Is your belly big?" He Shizhou immediately leaned over, smoothed out Luo You's clothes, and saw that she did indeed have some curves.

When He Shizhou touched his stomach last night, it wasn't particularly noticeable, but today it's definitely showing.

It's only been a little over three months, and the baby bump is already starting to show?

He Shizhou had never given birth before, so he didn't know if this was right or wrong, but the doctor said the baby in his belly was developing well, so this should be normal.

Although it wasn't very obvious yet, there was a slight curve, and this was the first time He Shizhou had truly felt the baby inside the little guy's belly.

"Baby, the little one in your belly is growing, and it will become more and more obvious in the future. It's not that you're getting fat, it's that the baby is growing," He Shizhou explained.

Luo You looked at his stomach and nodded vigorously after a while.

"Will he grow up to be as big as Youyou?"

He Shizhou wanted to say no, but then he thought it made sense. Although it wouldn't grow that big inside the belly, it would still be big after it came out.
