Second Watch.
------------
Hearing that the Division Commander Tongzi wanted to help her bathe, Chuxia was so startled she took a step back: "Zhou Mikang, you know my limits, keep nagging, and you’ll bear the consequences!"
Knowing his little wife’s temper and that she would never actually let him help, Zhou Mikang just ant it as a joke. Seeing her react so intensely, he smirked: "Be more obedient in the future, I have limits too, you know?"
"I’m pregnant!" She straightened her back with justified confidence, "If you dare bully , I’ll call Grandpa and Grandma to complain!"
"Go ahead." Zhou Mikang eyed her steadily, "Then I’ll tell them you’re not resting properly, and we’ll see who they back."
"Who’s not resting well? Isn’t today a special case? Zhou Mikang, why have you beco so naggy? Is pregnancy catching?" Chuxia glanced at his belly, "Why do I feel your temperant is more like a pregnant woman?"
Zhou Mikang: "..."
Making Division Commander Tongzi speechless, Chuxia was satisfied, smiling as she pushed him out of the bathroom with a "bang" as she locked the door...
Zhou Mikang chuckled helplessly, sat by the desk, picked up a book and flipped through it, occasionally paying attention to the sounds in the bathroom—his little wife was pregnant, he couldn’t help but worry.
Twenty minutes later, Chuxia ca out of the bathroom, and the Commander’s heart finally settled, feeling remorseful inside. If he keeps worrying like this, what will he do when he’s not by his little wife’s side?
Rationally, he knew his little wife, though young, had good judgnt. There was no need for blind worry. But emotionally, he couldn’t control himself from overthinking.
He had privately asked his elder brother, and found out his brother was even more anxious about his sister-in-law than he was about Chuxia. Perhaps, that’s how it is for first-ti fathers.
He helped his little wife dry her hair until it was mostly dry, and then ran his fingers through it to dry it faster. From a health perspective, pregnant won should use hair dryers less. So whenever he’s around, he personally helps her dry her hair, and when he’s not, he reminds her repeatedly to be patient and not neglect her health...
"Zhou Mikang, I’m the child’s mom; am I that careless?" Chuxia looked at her husband, who was starting his old lecture, with a face full of speechlessness, "I really don’t know whether it’s or you who’s pregnant."
"Don’t bla for nagging..." Zhou Mikang snorted, "Be honest, when I’m not around, do you ever let your hair dry naturally?"
"I’ll be more careful in the future, didn’t I promise you?"
"You say that every ti, but you never follow through. Using your own words, your credibility with is in the negatives, so I can’t help but remind you repeatedly."
"This ti I swear I’ll keep my word..." Afraid he would continue to nag, Chuxia quickly changed the topic, "By the way, what do you think of Li Xinli?"
"She’s alright." Zhou Mikang sumd it up in three words.
"What do you an she’s alright, can’t you be more specific?" Chuxia rolled her eyes at him, "I’m new here, and it’s hard to make friends to hang out with every day, so I value this a lot. Since you have eagle eyes, you have to help keep an eye out."
"She’s fine as a friend." Zhou Mikang patted his little wife’s shoulder, "Just spend ti and get to know each other. After so ti, as you et more classmates, things will look up."
"So you’re not quite approving of her?"
"No." Zhou Mikang shook his head, "Her personality is actually quite nice, not overly sensitive, not jealous, and she has so perseverance. If you get along well, you two could be great friends."
"I’m relieved to hear that..." Chuxia grabbed his hand, "Alright, it’s almost dry, go take a shower, and I’ll just sit for a while until it’s completely dry."
"You..." Zhou Mikang tapped her forehead, "You’re clearly avoiding; fine, if you don’t want to hear it, I won’t nag you. So things you have to experience yourself to understand."
Chuxia: "..." Must he sound so old and wise? Like he’s an elder and she’s a child. She’s just a little lazy. Honestly, being used to using a hairdryer, it’s tough to switch to air drying!
Back ho without the right conditions was one thing, but now that she had the option, she couldn’t help but use the hairdryer. She really wanted to change, but every ti she’d think of doing it next ti, and then it’d be next ti, next ti, next ti...
