Half a month later.

I don’t know who forgot last night that both of them had a day off this morning, and didn’t remember to close the blackout curtains. Jiang Xu’s bedroom was facing the sun, and he was woken up by the glare of the sun early in the morning.

He lay on the bed a little depressed for a while, confirming that he would not be able to go back to sleep, and sat up irritably to change his clothes, but found that the buttons of his shirt were slightly tight.

With the anger of its owner, the pink rabbit doll drew a beautiful arc in the air, and precisely hit the man on the floor. "Shen Fangyu..." Jiang Xu said angrily, "She grows too fast too. gone."

Shen Fangyu woke up from being hit by him, rubbed his eyes and hugged the rabbit in his arms, opened his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Xu who was sitting by the bed. Jiang Xu's back was facing him, he couldn't see the slightly protruding abdomen, only the broad shoulders With a narrow waist, "You are still very thin." He said casually.

Jiang Xu turned around expressionlessly, and the contours of his almost five-month-old abdomen could be clearly seen.

Shen Fangyu made him blink, "Hmm..." He pondered for a moment, then jokingly commented, "Better than my dad's beer belly."

"Shen Fangyu!"

Seeing that Jiang Xu was about to get angry, he hurriedly sat up and coaxed: "It just so happens that I have a rest today, so I'll accompany you to buy clothes?"

Reluctantly changing into a looser casual shirt, the two wandered back and forth in the shopping mall. Jiang Xu's eyes kept wandering in the business clothing area. Unexpectedly, Shen Fangyu dragged him into a trendy brand store without paying attention.

Shen Fangyu neatly picked out several colorful hooded sweaters from the shelf and handed them to him. The aesthetics of teenagers obviously couldn't catch Jiang Xu's eyes.

Jiang Xu looked at the clothes stuffed into his bosom, and looked at him inexplicably, "I have graduated from high school, Shen Fangyu, for a long time."

He has been studying in this blog for eight years, and since he entered the hospital in the fifth year, he has not worn the clothes that are too student-like. He looks young, and if he wears clothes that jump out, it will inevitably make the patients feel uneasy. Therefore, most of the time, Jiang Xu wears a mix of shirts, sweaters and windbreakers, which looks more mature and stable.

"The hoodie is warm and loose, why don't you try it." Shen Fangyu said, "With a white coat, no one can see what you're wearing inside."

He threw a few selected sweaters into the basket, and pushed Jiang Xu into the locker room half coaxed, then quickly put his hands behind his back and locked the door, and stood guard at the door of the locker room, looking at Jiang with his elbows in his arms. Xu Xiao: "If you don't want to change, I will block you here and not let you out."

"Shen Fangyu, being a doctor is really a waste of talent," Jiang Xu had never met such a rascal, "Why don't you become a debt collector?"

Shen Fangyu smiled, "I'm too lazy to block other people's doors."

Jiang Xu glanced at the clothes in the basket helplessly. The colors Shen Fangyu picked were all very bright. Jiang Xu searched for a long time before he found a black one, which seemed a little more low-key.

He turned his back and took off his shirt, and casually threw the changed clothes into Shen Fangyu's hands. As soon as he put on the black sweater, he discovered the clues.

The designer of this dress is probably an energy-saving and environmentalist. A good piece of fabric has to dig a hole in the chest. I don’t know if it can save some money on the material or what.

He was slandering, when Shen Fangyu suddenly put his shoulders on him and turned him around, his eyes fell on the exposed skin.

There is a beautiful red mole on Leng Bai's chest, which is exposed through the opening of the sweater's chest, like a finishing touch.

"It's beautiful." Shen Fangyu touched his nose, "I just saw this dress and thought it must be very suitable for you."

Jiang Xu sarcastically smiled, "Keep warm?"

As soon as the words fell, a lock clicked behind him, and Dr. Shen, who was too old to break the ground, finally had his hands cut behind his back, and he pushed out of the locker room without any objection.

Then Jiang Xu found out that he locked Shen Fangyu and his clothes outside...

"Let me in, Jiang Xu," Shen Fangyu knocked on his door, waving Jiang Xu's shirt in his hand, "Your clothes are still in my hands."

"No need." Jiang Xu said through gritted teeth, then turned his eyes back to the basket of brightly colored clothes, and finally took the top orange one and changed it.

Hearing the rustling sound in the dressing room, Shen Fangyu frowned.

After a while, Jiang Xu pushed open the door with a little embarrassment on his face.

He doubted that the last time he wore such brightly colored clothes was the school uniform of No. 6 Middle School.

But at least it's better than that ragged piece of clothing with holes dug in.

He stood in front of the mirror and glanced at himself in the mirror. The shopping guide said beside him, "Oh, it's so pretty." She said in surprise, "It looks like a college student."

"That's right." Shen Fangyu's eyes were shining, and he looked into Jiang Xu's eyes through the mirror, "I just said I have good eyesight."

Jiang Xu's skin is fair, and he doesn't look dark at all in orange, but it makes him extraordinarily youthful. The loose sweater covers his belly just right, and there is no slight curvature.

However, Jiang Xu was obviously not satisfied, just when he was about to go in and change, Shen Fangyu suddenly said: "When I first saw you, you were like this too."

He said: "Wearing the school uniform of No. 6 Middle School, the crowd can see your eye-catching red at a glance."

Shen Fangyu lowered his head and smiled, "Although the clothes are in warm colors, the expression on your face is very cold. At that time, I thought it would be great if you were from our No. 4 Middle School. You would definitely match our school's blue uniform better, but looking at it now ..."

He rested his fingers on his chin, tapped lightly one after another, and continued: "The brighter color suits you better, and it seems that the whole person is not so unreasonable."

The shopping guide who had been robbed of his job stood aside, staring blankly at Shen Fangyu. He had seen someone who accompanied his friends to buy clothes to praise them, but he had never seen such a compliment.

But what the shopping guide didn't expect was that the man who tried on the clothes really agreed to buy the dress after hearing these words. She was still wondering when she was wrapping the clothes, but when she looked up when she was distracted, I caught Shen Fangyu looking at Jiang Xu.

The man who was being looked at was ignorant, and the man who was looking at people didn't seem to realize how lingering his eyes were at all.

She suddenly felt as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

While distracted, the man suddenly tapped on the counter lightly, handed her a black sweater, and said in a low voice, "Wrap this one up too."

"ah?"

Shen Fangyu glanced at Jiang Xu who had already walked to the door because he was impatient waiting for him to pay, and added another sentence to the salesman: "Please hurry up, don't let him find out."

Shopping guide: "?"

After shopping around in the mall, both of them were very efficient. In the end, they bought a bunch of loose sweaters and sweaters with big bags and small bags. It is estimated that Jiang Xu can wear them at least until she is six months pregnant.

When walking out, Shen Fangyu answered the phone, hung up the phone, Jiang Xu looked over, Shen Fangyu said to him: "Go, I'll take you to see the confinement wife."

"Confinement lady?"

"Well," Shen Fangyu said, "I will take care of you when the time comes, but it is more professional for children to be taken care of by confinement maids. I have inquired about it, and now confinement maids can also be hired directly for a year or two. I think that if it is suitable, I will hire another Time, so that when we go to work, someone will watch the children."

Taking care of a child is not an easy task. Jiang Xu also thought about hiring a confinement wife before, but he didn't expect Shen Fangyu to start contacting him so early.

"You don't know," Shen Fangyu said, "The confinement maids in City A are very complicated now. Gold medals, silver medals and diamond medals have to be booked half a year in advance, just like a hospital. It’s hard to get a star.”

"It's still a two-way interview choice, just like we used to choose a tutor back then. I went to several clubs and picked one that I thought was pretty good. Today we happen to be free, and she is also free. The home economics center notified us to come over. interview."

"Then our situation..." Jiang Xu hesitated to speak, after all, there might not be another case of a family like theirs in the whole country.

"Are you willing to tell the truth?" Shen Fangyu asked, seeing Jiang Xu's silence, he said again: "If you don't want to, we won't say that you are the one who gave birth to the child. As for how the confinement sister understands it is her own business, I choose the person. I did some research and screened out those who like to gossip, and the person interviewed today is not a person who can gossip."

After hearing what he said, Jiang Xu felt relieved. When the two arrived at the home management center, the confinement lady was already there. The staff brought the three of them to the meeting room and refilled tea for both parties.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Shen, let me introduce myself first." The confinement wife looked at her gentle face, about thirty or forty years old, "My name is Bao Nian. I have been a confinement wife for eight years, and I have been in City A .”

She took out her resume, medical examination report and various certificates, as well as the evaluation and recommendation letters written by her previous employers, and pushed them in front of the two of them. The thick stack of documents was analyzed in detail.

Professional, really professional.

Jiang Xu even thought for a moment that he was interviewing a student applying for his graduate school.

However, he was obviously also the one being interviewed. Bao Nian smiled and said, "May I ask you two to tell me about your relationship?" Will be tight-lipped."

Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu looked at each other, and found that it was difficult to explain their relationship for a while.

Jiang Xu: "Colleague."

Shen Fangyu: "Friend."

After thinking for a while, they both spoke at the same time, Bao Nian was taken aback.

Jiang Xu: "Friend."

Shen Fangyu: "Colleague."

Looking at each other, the two changed their words at the same time.

Bao Nian: "..."

She smiled knowingly, and didn't ask any further questions, just said: "Okay, I probably understand, do those two have any questions about me?"

…

Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu were both very efficient, and Bao Nian was not a nonsense person. The interview ended after half an hour, and both parties were very satisfied, and signed a preliminary reservation contract.

Bao Nian was not working at the home economics center, the three of them came out together after signing the contract, Bao Nian said goodbye to them politely, "Then see you in half a year."

Shen Fangyu glanced at Jiang Xu, and said politely to Bao Nian: "Where is your home, we will take you back on the way?"

"No need," Bao Nian pointed to the man walking towards them not far away, "My husband is here to pick me up."

Shen Fangyu nodded, and was about to leave with Jiang Xu, but just as he took a step, someone patted his back suddenly, and when he turned his head, he saw Bao Nian's husband, the owner of Bozai Cake Shop.

Fuck, this can happen, the world is too small!

Shen Fangyu murmured that it was not good, but it was already too late to pretend he didn't see it.

"It really is you!" Apparently, Brother Bozaicao still remembered him, so he grabbed him.

"It's a coincidence that we met here," he was still enthusiastic as always, "You don't know, my child was sick a while ago, thanks to the parking card you gave us, it saved us a lot of money," he transferred Turning to Bao Nian, he said, "Honey, he is the one who gave me the parking card."

"Such a fate?" Bao Nian said, "Thank you Mr. Shen."

Shen Fangyu laughed dryly, but didn't respond.

Brother Bozaicao actually wanted to ask about Shen Fangyu's short-lived wife, but thinking that what Shen Fangyu said that day was so serious, most likely his wife is no longer alive. Seeing that Shen Fangyu didn't mention it, he wisely didn't mention it. Instead, he asked Bao Nian curiously, "How do you know his last name?"

Bao Nian didn't know Shen Fangyu's nonsense story, so he explained to her husband: "Just now Mr. Shen signed a one-year confinement nanny contract with me, and he is my new employer."

"Sister-in-law?" Big Bo Zai Gao was stunned. He looked at Shen Fangyu, the enthusiasm on his face gradually disappeared, and became cold bit by bit.

"Hey, are you a human being? You fell in love with someone else right after your wife died." He glanced at the signboard of his wife and the Home Economics Center, looked at the anger of the scum, and said with envy, "You even have children? Unfortunately, I thought you were a good person!"

Jiang Xu: "?"

"Since when did you have a wife?" he asked.

Shen Fangyu said angrily, "Listen to my explanation..."

"Are you an acquaintance of him?" Brother Bozaigao had a loud voice, and when he saw Jiang Xu speak, he followed suit: "It just so happens that you are here to comment, tell me what your friend is doing?"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and the saliva flew out, "Just over a month ago, he came to my store to buy bozai cakes. I was closed at that time. I didn't want to sell them to him, but he said His wife was dying and couldn't survive that night, so he wanted to have a bite of bozai cake, I thought he was so affectionate."

He said indignantly, "As a result, his wife has only died for a few days now, and the grass hasn't grown on the grave, so he came to invite a confinement wife?" He pointed at Shen Fangyu's nose, "I doubt your wife now. Did it just **** you off?"

More than a month ago...Jiang Xu's reaction was extremely fast, and he figured out who the bowl cake was bought for.

Good fellow, he is the short-lived wife.

He glared at Shen Fangyu, his eyes were sharp enough to kill, the latter smiled guiltyly and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Jiang Xu took a deep breath and said to the angry elder brother: "Calm down, it's not what you think, his wife is not dead."

"Not dead?" The eldest brother said, "The pregnant... is also his wife?"

Jiang Xu didn't really want to answer, but Shen Fangyu tried his best to wink at him. A lie always needs to be covered by countless lies. Jiang Xu also knew that Shen Fangyu was in order to buy him a bowl of cakes at the time, so he got involved with such a "scumbag". Insulted, so he sighed, let out a self-defeating "Yes", and reluctantly rescued Shen Fangyu: "Yes, it's his wife."

Shen Fangyu's eyes suddenly trembled.

The elder brother was stunned for a moment, and his anger turned into joy in an instant, "Your brother and sister are so lucky to have escaped from death!" He patted Shen Fangyu's arm, "If you survive a catastrophe, you must have a future blessing! I misunderstood you, I'm so right Don't stop, don't forget to take it to heart, brother is wrong."

Shen Fangyu didn't answer him right away, he was so shocked by Jiang Xu's sentence "it's his wife" that his scalp went numb, and he didn't recover for a while.

Knowing that Jiang Xu was helping him out, he said this, but these words entered his heart inexplicably, making him feel irritable, as if a small feather was brushing past him, with some inexplicable emotions.

"Yes," Jiang Xu replied coolly to Brother Bozaicao, "It's thanks to Dr. Shen from Jihua Obstetrics and Gynecology Department that he has rejuvenated his hands."

He purposely bit down the word "Doctor Shen", originally meant to ridicule Shen Fangyu, but when Shen Fangyu listened to it, he felt his earlobe burning for no reason.

"Okay, don't ask any more." Bao Nian obviously had better eyesight than her husband, and now that Shen Fangyu was her employer, she only felt that the situation seemed rather complicated after listening to the two people's words.

According to her past work experience, the more complicated the employer's situation, the better not to ask. "Less gossip and more work" is the biggest secret of making money in housekeeping. She only cares about making money, and she doesn't want to know anything about the employer's private affairs.

"The child should be hungry. I can finally go home today. Let's go back early?"

"Oh yes!" Brother Bozaicao slapped his forehead, "Then we're leaving first." He said to the two, "The child is waiting at home." After he finished speaking, he said to Shen Fangyu apologetically, "This time is really not good. Excuse me, next time you and your younger siblings come to the store to eat bowl cakes, you can eat as much as you want, and big brother will treat you for free."

Seeing Bo Zai Gao and Bao Nian walking away, Jiang Xu finally couldn't help but said: "Why don't you tell stories when you are so good at making up?"

"You want me to be a storyteller for a while, and you want me to collect debts for a while. What kind of job do you want me to do?"

Jiang Xu rolled his eyes at him.

Shen Fangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when Big Brother Bozaicao left.

"Don't worry," he said, "I can support you and your children as a doctor. Although I can't be rich, at least I won't starve to death." He said seriously: "I think the income of a doctor is still higher than that of storytellers and debt collectors."

"Who wants you to feed?"

"No one wants it," Shen Fangyu said, "I want to raise myself." He looked at Jiang Xu, "Then will you let me raise you?"

Jiang Xu was quiet for a moment, then "tssed", "Go raise your short-lived wife."

"Okay," Shen Fangyu put his shoulders on his shoulders, "I'll go buy bowl cakes and red beans tonight, but you can't eat too much, and you'll have intestinal cramps." He placed his fingers around Jiang Xu's neck, pointing Jian accidentally touched the side of his neck.

Jiang Xu's elbow suddenly bumped back, and Shen Fangyu suddenly suffered pain and was pushed away. When he looked up, he found that Jiang Xu's side neck was red.

"what happened?"

Because Jiang Xu's skin is fair, the red is particularly obvious. He reached out to check the situation, but was slapped away by Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu suddenly quickened his pace, and Shen Fangyu chased after him inexplicably, "Are you allergic?"

Jiang Xu covered Shen Fangyu's mouth before the heat from the side of his neck burned his face. Before Shen Fangyu could say "murder", Jiang Xu's cell phone rang suddenly.

The caller was his mother.

Jiang Xu put his index finger to his lips, and made a "shh" gesture to Shen Fangyu, then turned to the phone and said, "What's wrong, mom?"

The voice of playing mahjong came from the other end of the phone, "It's nothing, just playing cards with your Aunt Yan. She said that she heard the news that there is a man abroad who can have children. I don't believe it. She asked me to call you and say Those in the big city hospitals must know, Xiao Xu, is this true?"

Jiang Xu glanced at Shen Fangyu.

"it is true."

He pursed his lips and told his mother the general situation of the case in country M. Jiang's mother was surprised on the other end of the phone: "So it really happened? This is so strange."

"Look, I'll say it's true." Aunt Yan's voice was mixed with the mahjong sound into the microphone, "You still have to ask Xiaoxu, your family is busy."

"Yes, yes," Mother Jiang smiled, "The big hospital is just busy, so there's nothing I can do."

"Hey, our son is so busy that he doesn't have a chance, or you, Xiaoxu, are promising. You took root in a big city and became a director at a young age. I don't know how you teach?"

"Hey," Mother Jiang smiled reservedly, "He worked **** his own, and I never cared about him when I was young."

Jiang Xu: "..."

"Mom, it's nothing, I hung up."

"Okay, okay, go get busy."

The phone was hung up in the sound of mahjong, Jiang Xu was a little helpless. His parents really love him and treat him well, but his parents are also a typical example of wanting their son to become a dragon and using their son to play prestige.

Jiang Xu actually didn't want to be the talking point of his parents.

"Hey," Shen Fangyu called him suddenly, "Have you ever thought about...using this opportunity to confess to your parents?"

Jiang Xu paused.

This is indeed a good opportunity, at least now that the cases in country M are ahead, his parents will be more likely to accept the fact that men can conceive.

And, he actually meant to say it.

The operation is risky, and Jiang Xu is not sure whether he can leave the operating table safely. He hopes to give his parents a psychological preparation before this, instead of letting the old man who is over fifty years old suddenly hear the bad news.

In addition, if his operation is successful and he and the child are fine, then he will take the child to see his grandparents one day.

But he dared not say it.

The case in country M not only caused an uproar in the scientific research circle, but because of its particularity and the Chinese people's love of seeing and watching, it also set off an upsurge of discussion on the Internet.

Most people respect blessings, but there are also some people who make remarks like "no man, no woman", "monster", "disgusting".

He was a little concerned that his parents, whom he had always considered proud, couldn't accept their son turning into a "monster."

He may not take others' words to heart, but Jiang Xu doesn't want to hear his parents say such things.

"It's okay." Shen Fangyu touched him. "Just say what you want. I'll go back with you. When will you take another day off? I'll change shifts and go back to City B with you, and talk to your parents face to face."

"You are not afraid…"

"I plan to go to the orthopedics department to register in advance," Shen Fangyu said, "and then go to buy insurance."

Jiang Xu hesitated to speak, "Does this count as fraudulent insurance?"

Shen Fangyu thought for a while, and cooperated, "Then I'll order a set of body armor?"

Jiang Xu made Shen Fangyu laugh, and the unhappiness and depression in his heart just now dissipated. He looked at Shen Fangyu and gave a soft "hmm".

"Then order me a set, too."
