"Wow~" Tang Keke looked at Kobayashi Megumi, "Megumi always had a good personality, but she seems to have become more and more gentle since becoming a mother."

Ping An Mingjin nodded, "Her temperament is completely different now."

A look of nostalgia crossed Hazuki Ren's eyes; Kobayashi Megumi's current appearance reminded her of her mother.

"By the way," Shibuya Kanon said with some concern, "with so many of us, won't we be disturbing you?"

“Of course not.” Kobayashi Megumi shook her head. “The doctor also said that communicating with people regularly is good for both me and my child.”

Lan Qiansha felt relieved. "Then we'll bother you a little longer."

"Stay a little longer, let's have lunch here." Kobayashi Sora poured everyone's juice, "We have plenty of ingredients at home."

"Is it just my imagination?" Mayu Sagara looked Kobayashi Sora up and down. "Are you... um...?"

Hazuki Ren blinked. "You've gained weight?"

Mayu Sagara: "...I'm still thinking about how to put it less directly."

Hazuki Ren hurriedly waved her hands, "Um...I...I'm sorry..."

"No need, no need," Kobayashi Sora waved her hand. "I have indeed been a bit lax in managing my figure lately."

"Actually, it's my fault." Kobayashi Megumi explained, holding Kobayashi Sora's hand. "Although I'm much better now, I used to feel nauseous a lot, had a poor appetite, and my mood was unstable. I often couldn't eat anything, and even if I wanted to eat something, I wouldn't want to eat it after a while. So Sora would always make a lot of different things so I could eat whatever I wanted."

With a somewhat helpless expression, Kobayashi Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora, "Then the rest were all left to him. Although each portion was small, with so many different kinds, he gradually gained weight."

"This is a special treat I've given myself." Kobayashi Sora patted her stomach. "I've been eating really well lately."

"They'll only say what I want to hear~"

"Isn't it because you like listening to me?"

Ah... this familiar feeling.

The group looked at each other; after so long, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi were still in the same state.

Or should I say it's gone a step further?

"Meow~" The big rice cake made a soft meow, its cute sound contrasting sharply with its enormous size.

Finally, someone understands the feelings that cats experience every day.

Rice cake is very happy.

Looking at the mochi, whose size far exceeded that of an ordinary cat and was even twice the size of some dogs, Hazuki Ren asked, "Is it also called Little Dot?"

“It’s called rice cake,” Mayu Sagara corrected. “Not all large pets are called that.”

"That makes sense."

“This size…” Tang Keke gestured in the air, “The name ‘rice cake’ is really fitting.”

Lying there like that, it looked like a burnt rice cake.

"When I named it, I never imagined it would turn out like this." Kobayashi Megumi couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the rice cake. "The rice cake is usually with us. When we eat, the rice cake will take a bite or two. Recently, I've been eating five or six meals a day or more, and as a result, the rice cake has gotten fat."

While Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi were eating, Mochi ate two bites of cat food.

When Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi are being affectionate, Mochi also has to eat a couple of bites of cat food.

I gained weight without even realizing it.

Lan Qiansha tentatively stroked the soft fur of the rice cake, "So round and cute~ Ah, it looks a bit like your round little one."

rice cake:"......?"

Is this something a kitten can understand?

Arashi Chisato wasn't talking to Mochi, but rather to Shibuya Kanon's pet owl, named Roundy.

Shibuya Kanon observed carefully, "Uh... it does look somewhat similar."

Rice cake got up and left.

That's so hurtful to my self-esteem.

Chapter 491 The Fourth Month

"Husband~" Kobayashi Megumi put down her pencil and softly called to Kobayashi Sora, who was looking at documents.

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora put down the documents and looked in Kobayashi Megumi's direction. "What's wrong?"

When will you finish reading the documents?

"I can't finish reading it all," Kobayashi Sora said, marking the documents and quickly tidying them up before putting them away. "But you can pause it anytime. What's wrong? Headache or backache? Want a massage?"

"No," Kobayashi Megumi shook her head, "I want a hug."

"Okay~" Kobayashi Sora sat down next to Kobayashi Megumi and hugged her. "Tell me if you're not feeling well."

Kobayashi Megumi shook her head, "It's much better now."

By the thirteenth week, various early pregnancy symptoms have gradually disappeared, and problems such as dizziness and nausea have not occurred for a while.

Kobayashi Megumi's body temperature is now higher than before she was pregnant. Although it's only a small increase, it feels warm and cozy, and it feels especially nice to hold her in my arms.

Kobayashi Sora was enjoying the warmth of Kobayashi Megumi's body when she suddenly felt a hand touching her stomach. "Huh?"

Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head. "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Kobayashi Sora chuckled, "Okay, I'll make it now. What would you like to eat?"

"You did it."

"No problem." Kobayashi Sora walked into the kitchen, skillfully put on her apron, took out the pre-marinated minced meat and soaked glutinous rice from the refrigerator, took out the cabbage, removed the whole leaves, and boiled water to soften them.

Kobayashi Megumi leaned against the kitchen door, watching him work with a smile.

"Just tell me if you want something to eat." Kobayashi Sora chopped the chives and soaked shiitake mushrooms, added oil, stirred them, and set them aside.

"Hmm... I don't want to say it directly." Kobayashi Megumi gestured to her waist. "I've gained quite a bit of weight recently."

"Because the baby has nutritional needs, your appetite will also increase." Kobayashi Sora was already aware of this situation. "Now, you can eat all kinds of things you usually like but dare not eat because you are worried about gaining weight, as long as you have a balanced diet, do not overeat, and do not pick and choose your food."

"I see..." Kobayashi Megumi's eyes darted around, "Will you dislike me if I gain weight?"

“This is proof that I’ve taken good care of you, how could I dislike it?” Kobayashi Sora replied matter-of-factly. “It means that you are becoming more and more important to me.”

"They just know how to say nice things."

“That’s the truth,” Kobayashi Sora said, chopping scallions, ginger, and garlic. “On the other hand, I’ve gained quite a bit of weight recently. Would you dislike me for that?”

"Yes."

"Right, you wouldn't either... eh?" Kobayashi Sora paused in her hand movements.

"You gained weight because I don't eat properly..."

Kobayashi Megumi's dislike wasn't for Kobayashi Sora, who had gained weight.

Rather, it's because Kobayashi Sora has gained weight.

Or rather, it's about disliking the version of yourself that was previously unstable in terms of appetite and emotions.

It's a very frustrating state; you know something's wrong, but you can't control it.

"Wife."

"Ok?"

"If we trace it back to the source, the changes in you are all my doing."

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi blinked, "Then I won't mind you."

"Why don't you just say you don't like it?"

"what?"

"That way I'll be motivated to get my abs back."

"You don't mind me, but you expect me to mind you?" Kobayashi Megumi stuck out her tongue. "Dream on."

"Eh?"

This logic... never mind.

"Alright, go back to the living room and rest," Kobayashi Sora reminded him. "I'm about to start cooking."

Studies have shown that the concentration of harmful gases released from kitchens is much higher than that in outdoor air.

Although range hoods can solve some problems, they still pose potential risks.

If possible, pregnant women should stay away from the kitchen.

"Mmm." Kobayashi Megumi responded, then took two steps before peeking her head out from the doorway again, "Husband?"

"Ok?"

I like you so much.

Kobayashi Sora's previously fluid movements stopped again.

That familiar feeling of being breached.

Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the mushrooms, then add the minced meat and stir-fry until cooked.

Mix glutinous rice with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and pepper. Add chives and mix well. Wrap the mixture in softened vegetable leaves and steam over high heat.

The nutritious stuffed vegetables are now ready. Pork is rich in high-quality protein, shiitake mushrooms are rich in trace elements, chives and cabbage contain dietary fiber, and glutinous rice is rich in starch, which can quickly provide the body with energy.

While the stuffed vegetables were being steamed, Kobayashi Sora started preparing other dishes: stir-fried bean sprouts for those who want to grow taller but not fatter, beef and potato stew for calcium and iron, meat and peas for those who want to control blood sugar and promote lactation, sorghum rice to prevent edema, asparagus and egg stew for folic acid, white radish and pork rib soup to boost immunity, fruit salad for vitamins, pan-fried sardines for DHA, and fried yogurt to aid digestion...

After dinner, Kobayashi Megumi listened to music and drew for a while before starting her daily exercise.

Exercise is very beneficial to physical and mental health, but it should not be too strenuous. The duration should be kept between half an hour and an hour, and the intensity should not be too high.

If you feel tired, then the intensity is obviously a bit too much.

Ideally, you should be able to exercise and talk easily at the same time; that level of intensity is just right.

After a short workout, it was time for a shower.

Because of the changes in the body, daily hygiene is very important.

Kobayashi Sora skillfully helped Kobayashi Megumi wash her hair, cheeks, and back...
