After Tang Wan finished a class and was about to switch classrooms for another course, she noticed Jiang Jinsang tutoring Huo Qinqi on how to change a diaper. She took the opportunity to call back Ruan ngxi during this break.
The doll the teacher used for teaching was very realistic. If you touched a special spot with the wrong technique, the doll would cry. At this mont, the realistic baby was in Huo Qinqi’s hands, crying incessantly.
"Can you be a bit gentler with your technique?" Jiang Jinsang was getting a headache. Luckily, the doll’s head and limbs were all one piece, otherwise, he feared that soone might twist off its arms or legs.
Huo Qinqi was looking down, chanically repeating the diaper-changing action, "I’m already being very gentle."
His expression was serious, as if defusing a bomb.
It was too noisy in the classroom, so Tang Wan gestured to Jiang Jinsang with her phone and then walked outside.
"Hey, Wanwan."
"Where are you? It’s very noisy around you."
"I’m at the supermarket buying things, getting ready to cook at ho." Ruan ngxi’s tone was like a dutiful wife hurrying to prepare a al for her husband.
Having been with Qi Zeyan for so long, she knew all of his preferences and eating habits inside out.
"Did you make a move on him last night?"
"What do you an by ’make a move on him,’ Tang Xiaowan? You should watch what you’re saying. Am I that kind of person?"
"Aren’t you?"
"I thought about taking a shower and saying goodnight to him, maybe teasing him a bit or bursting in and taking him down, but he actually locked the door. Hey, what do you think he ant by that?"
Tang Wan burst out laughing, "Boys are dangerous outside these days, they need to protect themselves too."
"I’m on vacation recently. Once you’re not busy, let’s go shopping or I’ll invite you and Fifth Master to our house for a al."
...
Tang Wan chatted with her a bit more and saw Jiang Jinsang and Huo Qinqi leave the classroom before hanging up. The next course’s first half was cultural knowledge, explaining the bodily changes expectant mothers experience in late pregnancy.
For instance, swollen legs, frequent urination, a heavy belly, and a sore back...
Jiang Jinsang had read many books on pregnancy and childcare before, so he wasn’t unfamiliar, but he listened very attentively.
However, in the second half of the course, the teacher taught everyone techniques, like how to alleviate leg swelling in pregnant won and how to massage them.
Most attendees were couples, with husbands helping their wives. Only Huo Qinqi was an observer, and the teacher initially wanted him to cooperate with her for a demonstration, but he was unwilling.
The female teacher was over forty, but his expression made it seem like she was trying to take advantage of him.
What you see in videos or books is different from hands-on practice, especially when a professional is guiding you and can correct mistakes imdiately. So in the end...
Jiang Jinsang beca his first massage target.
"How does it feel?" Tang Wan asked him.
Jiang Jinsang glanced at the person rubbing his leg and, truth be told, he never imagined in his life that Huo Qinqi would be massaging his legs and serving him one day.
He pursed his lips and said:
"You can use a bit more pressure."
Huo Qinqi’s face instantly turned black: a classic case of taking advantage and still complaining.
After attending the couple’s whole morning class, Huo Qinqi treated them to lunch and asked Tang Wan about her pregnancy experience.
Tang Wan’s pregnancy had gone exceptionally smoothly, and Huo Qinqi listened carefully, believing that their own pregnancy, given his and Shen Shuci’s personalities, would surely be even more stable than Tang Wan’s.
Finally, Huo Qinqi raised his tea as a toast to them.
"Brother Huo, why the sudden formality?" Tang Wan was baffled.
"I’m about to return to my unit soon. I need you to look after Shuci, as well as Uncle and Aunt on that side." Even though the Huo family parents were back in Beijing for debriefing, if the Shen family needed help, they’d definitely prefer to trouble Tang Wan or Jiang Jinsang.
Tang Wan smiled, "That’s what we should do."
"Call anyti if there’s anything. If you absolutely can’t reach , you can contact my parents."
"I know."
Tang Wan used to think that soone like Huo Qinqi probably didn’t know how to show care, but now she realized that everyone has their own way of expressing it.
After the al, Tang Wan craved their family’s desserts and packed several portions.
Huo Qinqi saw she liked them, so he bought so more to send to Shen Shuci. However, she wasn’t fond of sweets, and in the end, the treats satisfied Old Master Shen’s sweet tooth.
