I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

Chen Shuo turned around and waved to her, "Don't worry, I'll go home and listen to it first, then I'll give you the definite answer."

“…”

They had only exchanged a few words when the person left. Anya scratched her head, not wanting to be a third wheel, and was about to go home when her phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at it, and answered it with a slight pursed lip.

"Another blind date? No way."

------------------

"...Can you hear me?"

Bai Xiaoqi held her breath and leaned against the headboard. The hem of her clothes was lifted up, revealing her bulging belly. Chen Shuo was lying next to her, leaning over and pressing his ear to her belly, holding his breath and concentrating. His expression was very serious as he tried to hear what was happening inside.

"I think I heard a little bit."

There was a gurgling sound, and Chen Shuo didn't know if it was fetal movement, but that didn't dampen his excitement.

He had seen a video on his phone where someone was preparing to hatch a chick. To make it easier to observe, they first made a hole in the shell of a fertilized egg and then covered it with plastic wrap.

Then place it in an incubator at a suitable temperature for observation, and record the changes every day using video.

Watching the egg gradually change from golden liquid to red, then covered in blood vessels, then into a dark little chick, and finally hatching.

That already makes one feel the wonder and greatness of life.

Not to mention now, listening to the sounds coming from inside his stomach, Chen Shuo also felt it was amazing and incredible.

"Hey, now it's clear, they were definitely kicking someone. Honey, were they kicking you?"

Chen Shuo was shouting loudly, because he had clearly felt his stomach roll slightly.

"Hmm, it seems so." Bai Xiaoqi also felt it, but not as clearly as Chen Shuo. It was still not very obvious, just like before.

"No doubt about it, this is the child greeting his father."

Chen Shuo was delighted and kissed his round belly several times, then touched it with his hand.

I've heard that when a pregnant woman's belly swells up, the skin stretches, causing the fibers inside to break, resulting in dark red or even purple striped spots, commonly known as stretch marks.

But Bai Xiaoqi's belly was different; although it was swollen like a watermelon, it was still as smooth and white as before.

I don't know if it's because her skin is very elastic, or because I apply stretch mark cream to her every night before bed.

Or both.

After stroking his smooth belly for a while, Chen Shuo pressed his ear to his stomach to listen again.

Do you still want to hear it?

"Of course I have to listen. I have two babies in my belly, and only one has greeted me yet, the other one hasn't."

Becoming a father is a truly wonderful feeling.

These are two little lives that are developing.

Although the two babies arrived in a hurry, after the initial panic, Chen Shuo is now quite excited and looking forward to the arrival of these two little guys into the world.

Then call yourself "Dad".

Is there anything more joyful in this world than being a father?

Yes, that is, the child who calls you "Dad" is your own flesh and blood. If you want to find someone happier than this, then you should consider this child.

That means someone else's child is also your own, and you call him "uncle" on the surface, but secretly call him "dad" in private.

Chapter 301 My Name is Baiyun

In the sweltering heat of August, the weather was extremely hot.

The due date is around mid-September. Chen Shuo is quite disappointed about this, because if the baby is born in September, it will most likely be two Virgo babies.

Virgo... Although he scoffs at the idea of ​​astrology, he can't stop many people from believing in it. If there were a ranking of the most discriminated-against zodiac signs, Virgo would definitely be at the top of the list.

I don't know what these people are thinking. Anyone with a brain knows this is inaccurate. So many people are born in a month, tens of millions all over the world. Do you think they all have the same personality?

That's absolute nonsense.

If it's accurate, his birthdate is January 1st, his zodiac sign is Capricorn, and as mentioned above, he's an authoritarian, always giving orders, whether at home or at work.

But in reality... who can she command in this family?

Chen Shuo bent down and swept the floor with a broom, his gaze sweeping over the other two family members.

Bai Xiaoqi is about nine months pregnant now. Her round belly has completely transformed into a watermelon, and she has gone from a basketball to a giant watermelon. It's now difficult for her to even turn over. Right now, she's sprawled on the sofa playing games on her phone. As for Walnut, it's curled up into a ball and dozing off next to her.

After scanning the room, Chen Shuo looked away. Everyone, from people to cats, was resting; only he was working.

"Play on your phone less, it emits radiation."

"Only computers emit radiation."

"We also have cell phones."

"I've only been playing for a little while, it's okay."

"You've been playing for two hours."

"...Hurry up and sweep the floor. After you're done, go to the rooftop and water the flowers, and also feed the fish."

"I know, try to spend less time on your phone."

Capricorns can't give orders at all. Astrological theories are pure nonsense. It's clearly this pregnant woman who's in charge at home.

The rooftop is filled with fresh air, and various potted plants and greenery are arranged in a circle against the wall. There are seven or eight Podocarpus macrophyllus trees that are taller than a person, as well as lucky bamboo that the elderly couple gave them when they celebrated their housewarming.

The wildflowers I once dug up in the suburbs bloomed and faded, multiplying into a dense, abundant mass. All the plants are now housed in wooden flower boxes, making the rooftop resemble a botanical garden at first glance.

Chen Shuo picked up the watering can and watered each plant one by one. This was a huge project. He should have known better than to grow so many plants. Now it looked like a flower market on the rooftop.

I initially adopted this little cat girl out of pity. She was wearing tattered, dirty clothes that I had found in a trash can, and she was barefoot with no shoes. She looked so pitiful.

Later on, I thought about having her cook for me and help with housework.

As a result, cooking and housework have become her responsibilities, and she has to take care of her every day, as well as water her flowers.

I've lost out.

"This flower can't be watered, or it will die." Bai Xiaoqi huffed and puffed as she climbed up the stairs, clutching her back and catching her breath, when she saw Chen Shuo watering the Christmas cactus with a splash of water. She quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Why can't you water it? Look how withered these leaves are, if you don't water it it will really... Oh, it's already dead, I just wanted to try to save it."

"It's not dead, it's just dormant."

"..."

Chen Shuo glanced at her serious expression, then at the cluster of flowers she described as dormant, which could be perfectly described as withered branches and rotten leaves, the leaves drooping listlessly.

Although he didn't know much about flowers, he could tell at a glance that the flower was dead beyond any doubt, but she... well, pregnant, which is perfectly normal.

He moved his lips but didn't speak, and stopped trying to save the withered branches and leaves, instead going around to water the other flowers.

It's already in this state, watering it won't help, and the pregnant woman in the house might even blame it on her own overwatering.

She's very skilled at this kind of thing.

"These succulents shouldn't be watered either. If you absolutely must water them, you should wait until evening."

"Why at night? To sneakily water them when they're not looking?"

Chen Shuo couldn't understand why watering should be done at night, especially since the succulents looked so wilted.

"It has to be at night anyway; watering them in the sun might kill them."

"What if we don't water it?"

"It won't die if you don't water it. It will wither a bit and shrink, but it can still live."

"What kind of logic is this? It will die if you water it, but it won't die if you don't water it?"

"That's how succulents are. These plants are very drought-tolerant. They're fine even if you don't water them. If you do water them, you should only do so at night. It's very difficult for succulents to survive the summer. It's better not to water them at all than to water them too much."

Bai Xiaoqi, heavily pregnant, stood to the side, her little mouth chattering away, speaking eloquently and logically. Chen Shuo listened with amusement, clicking his tongue and saying, "You really know a lot now."

"Of course, I know a lot more now than you do."

"Imperial Jade Liquor".

"One hundred and eighty cups."

"Wow, that's impressive." Chen Shuo exclaimed, looking somewhat surprised. "You even knew that?"

"Hmph..." Bai Xiaoqi snorted softly, "I saw it on Bilibili."

Which company has the best excavator technology?

"Lan Xiang".

"What's the owner of the Jiangnan Leather Factory's name? Who did he run off with?"

“Huang He, sister-in-law,” Bai Xiaoqi replied fluently.

"hiss..."

Chen Shuo gasped in shock. It was terrifying. After three years, this foolish little cat girl had completely infiltrated the human community. As long as she didn't expose herself, no one would believe that she was a cat three years ago.

No, even if I told people, probably no one would believe it.

Can you believe that he even knows who the owner of the Jiangnan Leather Factory is?

Bai Xiaoqi felt a little tired after standing for a while, so she slowly walked to the hanging sofa, sat down, leaned back, and then touched her stomach and asked, "Are you surprised?"

"Of course I'm surprised, I'm terrified."

"So you're underestimating me?"

Chen Shuo was taken aback. "Why do you say that?"

"It's just... um..." Bai Xiaoqi couldn't quite put her finger on it for a moment, tilting her head back to think before saying, "If Ya Ya knew all this, you definitely wouldn't be surprised, right?"

"....right."

Chen Shuo pondered for a moment and nodded. If it was that old Si Ji who knew these things, then it was perfectly normal; she knew more than anyone else.

"Ya Ya knows you won't be surprised, but I know you will be very surprised. It's because you think I definitely don't know these things, but actually I do, so you're very surprised, which means you underestimate me."

"...It's not that I underestimated them, but I was a little surprised."
