Chapter 1318 Becoming a father
It’s not a dream—
"What's wrong with your hand?" Qi Yao glanced at Seventeen, his brow twitching. He immediately asked with concern, "How did you get hurt?"
"I don't know. You're also responsible for my injury. Why didn't you keep an eye on me?" Seventeen asked softly, "Do I sleepwalk at night?"
Qi Yao's eyes were clearly filled with surprise. "No way? No, what's wrong?"
"Oh," Seventeen answered the question irrelevantly, holding his head with his hand and whispering, "Something has happened recently that is quite, well, bizarre to me. I can't understand it with normal thinking..."
Seventeen explained with a smile, then leaned back in his chair and looked out the window, wondering if she had a hidden mental illness.
"What's the matter? Tell me. I'm a doctor and maybe I can answer it." Qi Yao said in a relaxed tone.
Seventeen laughed softly, "Well, you're a doctor, I know, hehe..."
How could she not know what kind of doctor he was? She just took it as a joke and laughed it off without explaining her recent frequent nightmares.
When I got home, the rice in the rice cooker was still hot. Fortunately, the pot had a function that automatically switched to keep warm when the rice was cooked, otherwise, would this rice still be edible?
"Is the rice cooked?" Qi Yao asked as he walked towards the rice pot and lifted the lid. The fact that the lid could be lifted meant that the rice had been cooked for some time.
Seventeen spread his hands, "If I say that it was cooked at noon and the vegetables were also washed at noon, would you believe it?"
Qi Yao looked at Shiqi in surprise, walked into the kitchen, and found that the vegetables had indeed been washed, but they were a little wilted. They were indeed placed there at noon.
Qi Yao looked back at his wife who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, without saying a word. He quickly fried the dishes. In about ten minutes, two dishes and a soup were ready and placed on the dining table. Qi Yao turned on the light and walked towards his wife.
She fell asleep again. Qi Yao half-knelt beside Shiqi, gently stroking Shiqi's face with his hand.
Seventeen's body subconsciously shrank, and with trembling, he suddenly sat up with a scream.
"what--"
Qi Yao looked straight at Seventeen, who subconsciously covered his face with his hands and gasped for breath.
"Are you having a nightmare?" Qi Yao asked in a low voice.
Seventeen looked at Qi Yao. The feeling of having his face touched just now was very real. He woke up almost at the same time, because the fear of such a touch had reached the bottom of his heart.
Qi Yao's brows were knitted tightly together. Shi Qi looked at her husband, who was half-crouching in front of her, and suddenly leaned forward to hug Qi Yao, whispering, "I dreamed that someone was caressing my face, little by little, as if they wanted to cut my skin bit by bit..."
"It's just a dream..." Qi Yao was embarrassed and immediately reached out to touch Shiqi's face again. Shiqi still got goose bumps as a conditioned reflex.
Qi Yao was slightly stunned. How could he not feel his wife's body rejecting him? Was she reacting this way because she found him disgusting?
"time to eat."
Qi Yao muttered something and stood up. Seventeen looked up at Qi Yao. Qi Yao turned his back to Seventeen and calmed down for a moment, then turned around and held Seventeen's hand. "It's time to eat. After dinner, tell me all the incredible things you mentioned earlier. I'll help you analyze them, okay?"
Seventeen nodded slowly, followed Qi Yao, looked at her husband's face, and whispered, "You touched my face just now, didn't you?"
Qi Yao looked at Seventeen, nodded, and responded softly, "Yeah."
Seventeen sat down and used her chopsticks to put rice into her mouth one by one. She knew Qi Yao had misunderstood, and after a while she said, "That's not because of you. These past few days I've dreamt that someone..."
"It's me." Qi Yao whispered.
Seventeen suddenly raised her eyes and looked straight at her husband. Qi Yao stared at the dish and looked into Seventeen's eyes for a long time. "It was me. It was me just now, and it was me tonight too."
"..." Seventeen was speechless. After remembering something, her face flushed again. "It's you?"
Qi Yao coughed lightly, "Sometimes, I express my needs very clearly, but you are unwilling..."
He is her husband, not a bandit, so of course he has to respect her. Raping a woman in marriage is a crime.
How long had it been since they'd had sex? How could a normal man have lasted that long?
"Uh... so, you mean it was you who touched me last night? No, I mean, it was you who touched my face?" Seventeen confirmed again, and after seeing Qi Yao nod, he asked again: "Was it you who kissed me?"
Qi Yao nodded. Seventeen wanted to ask further questions, but then he thought that it might be him.
Qi Yao looked ashamed. Shiqi held the chopsticks in her hand and looked at the bowl lightly. Okay, it was her negligence.
Suddenly putting down his chopsticks, Seventeen hugged Qi Yao's arm and said, "Why didn't you tell me? Do you know that I have nightmares every night, not only at night, but also during the day. I always feel like I'm being tied up and forced together. I just closed my eyes for a while, and I felt my face being touched again. Do you know how scared I am?"
Qi Yao paused for a moment, then suddenly asked a serious question, "Do you love me?"
Seventeen paused for a moment, then stood up and looked at Qi Yao, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
In their marriage, he was always the one who lacked confidence. After three years of marriage, Qi Yao still had not received a positive answer to this question from her.
"Actually, you dislike me." Qi Yao said seriously.
"..." Seventeen opened their mouths and shook their heads, "No."
"But you didn't let me touch you for two months." This was the truth. Such a long time was not normal for a couple like them who had been married for only two or three years.
Seventeen almost brought Qi Yao to his knees. What kind of logic is this?
"But you touched me secretly too. What's the use if I don't let you touch me?" Seventeen rolled his eyes. He often attacked her secretly while she was sleeping, which made her almost go crazy.
Qi Yao suddenly hugged Shiqi, ignoring her unreasonable arguments, bit her ear and asked, "What about tonight?"
"It's up to you." Seventeen curled his lips, turned his face away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The estrangement between the two of them that had lasted for more than a month suddenly cleared up. At night, Shiqi lay on the bed waiting for Qi Yao, asking him how he wanted to play, and she would cooperate with whatever he wanted.
As for men, no one would be serious at this time. Qi Yao hugged Shiqi and rolled around again and again, which made up for his loneliness in the past two months.
The next day.
In the hospital, Qi Yao was in high spirits and smiled at everyone he met. He didn't even avoid the nurse with whom he had had some inexplicable scandal. He greeted her in the same way, being incredibly friendly.
The rumor mill was buzzing around the hospital that Qi Yao was going to be a father. Otherwise, why would Dr. Qi, who had been hesitant for so long, be so utterly mad and grinning like he was having a seizure? He was so happy, and since marriage was out of the question, he was definitely going to be a father.
So when Seventeen arrived at the hospital one step later, he received all kinds of inexplicable blessings.
"Director, congratulations." Doctor Xu came towards us and said "congratulations" while greeting us.
