The first thought that popped up in Xiao Licheng's mind when he saw Lin Qiao's pregnant belly was—the zombie lady cheated on his Chief! He then noticed that Wu Chengyue seemed to be used to it since long ago, so he started thinking that his Chief was going to be someone's stepfather!
Seeing that Shen Yujen, who was always by the side of the zombie lady, was also wearing a shocked face, Xiao Licheng somehow felt less unbalanced.
Shen Yujen abruptly turned to look at Xiao Licheng questioningly. 'Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Why am I seeing something that I shouldn't be seeing?'
Xiao Licheng shrugged and responded to her with a confused face.
Shen Yujen's expression changed constantly. Suddenly, she looked at Xiao Licheng with pity—'Sigh, your Chief has no hope.'
Xiao Licheng swallowed his saliva as he turned to look at the clinic.
Lin Qiao was sitting nearby. She could tell that the two of them were communicating with their eyes. She didn't interrupt them, but sat there quietly, together with Wu Yueling. The little girl was looking at her big belly curiously. The little girl raised both hands and tried to touch her belly, but didn't dare to.
Lin Qiao smiled and put the girl's hands on her belly.
Wu Yueling felt Lin Qiao's round belly through the cloth. She was excited, also wondering why she couldn't hear Viney's voice.
Lin Qiao said to Wu Yueling in her mind smilingly—'She's sleeping.'
Wu Yueling nodded in response.
Half an hour later, Wu Chengyue and Lin Hao came back.
"He's fine," said Lin Hao calmly, "He lost too much energy recently, and his body failed to adapt to the condition. The symptoms will disappear in a few days."
Both Xiao Licheng and Shen Yujen were very confused. Xiao Licheng turned to his Chief and asked, "He lost too much energy lately?"
Wu Chengyue glanced at Lin Qiao, then smiled at Xiao Licheng without saying a word.
Earlier, he did feel that a big half of his energy was gone before the dizziness occurred. He could even vaguely feel that his energy was going into Lin Qiao's body. Therefore, he had roughly guessed out what was happening.
"It's your turn." Having finished talking to Wu Chengyue, Lin Hao immediately turned and said to Lin Qiao. She gave Wu Yueling back to Wu Chengyue, then followed Lin Hao to the clinic.
In the clinic, Lin Hao looked at her belly, which was twice as large as before, and couldn't help but sigh, "Your belly is so much larger than before. I'm afraid the baby is coming out soon."
Currently, Lin Qiao looked like an eight-month pregnant lady. She was tall and slim, and her dress and coat were loose-fitting, so her belly wasn't so obvious yet.
Lin Qiao lay on the bed, and Lin Hao put the cloth that had a hole in the middle on her belly. She then lifted her clothing under the cloth and exposed her belly.
Lin Hao spread some liquid on her belly and then started giving her a scan. He turned to look at the screen and saw a baby in the gray shadow.
"She has grown bigger. I think I'll soon meet my niece," Lin Qiao moved the device on Lin Qiao's stomach while looking at the screen. The image changed along with his movement.
Lying on the bed, Lin Qiao turned to him and asked, "How's the baby?"
"The baby is fine," said Lin Hao, "But her body shape is…" He paused briefly.
As he paused, Lin Qiao's got a little nervous and asked anxiously, "What about her body shape? Is there some kind of problem with it?"
She thought there was a problem with the baby, such as a disability or something like that.
Lin Hao looked at her and smiled, "Relax and let me finish. I was gonna say that the baby seems to be a little chubby!"
Lin Qiao was speechless. The weird silence lasted for a few seconds, then she asked, "And?"
Lin Hao looked at her with a very meaningful smile and said, "The baby is a little chubby, so the labor might be difficult. So, normal pregnant women… emm… they would do some exercise at this point in time in order to help open the birth canal."
"Some exercise?" Lin Qiao looked at him with confusion.
She had heard about antenatal yoga and things like that before. But, she was a zombie! Should she do those exercises like humans?
"Eh-hem…" Lin Hao looked at her in a weird way, then coughed slightly and continued, "I was talking about… two-person sport. Em, that kind of sport can help you to open your birth canal."
He believed that he already made it clear enough. Two-person sport, open the birth canal, weren't those keywords clear enough? However, he underestimated how ignorant his sister was in that field.
Lin Qiao was still confused. "Like antenatal yoga?" she looked at him and asked, "Why does it involve two people?"
Lin Hao didn't know what to say.
"Would you like natural childbirth or cesarean birth?" He asked her.
"I heard that natural childbirth is better," Lin Qiao responded without thinking.
"That is correct," Lin Hao nodded and said.
Their mother had become a zombie, so there were no experienced people to guide Lin Qiao. She felt a little helpless at the moment.
Lin Hao looked at her with a strange smile on his face. After a few seconds of silence, he said shamelessly, "By two-person sport, I meant you should do some on-bed exercise together with the baby's father. And it needs to happen frequently, or it won't work."
Lin Qiao was speechless.
Wait a minute! What did she just hear? Did the little b*stard just tell her to have sex with Wu Chengyue?
Looking at that Lin Hao's smiling face, she finally understood why was his smile so weird the whole time. She wanted to punch him. What should she do?
Noticing that his sister had pulled a long face, Lin Hao automatically stood up and made a few steps backward as he said to her, "Eh-hem, I'm saying this for your own good. You said that you want natural childbirth, right? The baby is developing too well. Do as I say if you want the labor to be easier. Or, the baby might get jammed on her way out. As a doctor, I'm only trying to help you."
Lin Qiao didn't respond.
Lin Hao wasn't really happy to let Wu Chengyue take advantage of his sister actually. However, for the safety of Lin Qiao and the baby, he had no choice but to forget about his slight unhappiness.
Lin Qiao sat up with a sour face, then picked up a piece of tissue to wipe the liquid off her belly. After adjusting her clothes, she said expressionlessly, "Is there another way?"
Lin Hao shrugged and said, "No, unless you want to do it with your own hands."
Lin Qiao couldn't help but throw the wad of tissue at him.
The tissue couldn't hurt him, but Lin Hao was afraid of Lin Qiao's strong vibe. While dodging and shielding his face with his arms, he hurriedly explained, "What are you doing! I'm doing this for your own good! Do realize that I'm on your side!"
"Shut up, you!" said Lin Qiao crankily.
