two ears pricked up

Seven days later.

The warm light is warm, beams of light fall on the veil in the window, and the light clothes are changed at the end of spring, the sun and the breeze, the smooth stone slabs in the backyard, there are cats that have passed their estrus period.

The cats are comfortable and lazy, with their soft bellies open, rolling and taking a nap in the sun.

Compared with their leisurely, Bai Xi lost his usual calmness.

At this moment, his small face was slightly sad, and his two delicate eyebrows were tightened, with shallow marks.

He curled up his legs and nestled on the rattan rocking chair by the window, his face sometimes showed surprise, sometimes doubts, and finally saw him quietly unbuttoning his clothes, staring at his white chest, concentrating on nothing.

I don't know if he is hallucinating or not, but he always feels that his chest seems to be a little swollen, and it still hurts to touch. He lowers his head and sniffs carefully, the breath floating into the tip of his nose carries a faint scent of milk.

He couldn't stop his chaotic thoughts, his black hair fell on his shoulders and fell to the ground, and he grabbed it with his hands, a few more strands of hair fell out in the palm of his hand.

On the bed where he had left not long ago, there was a nest of Huo Zheng and his clothes. It was a 'small nest' he had built inadvertently. He had no interest in building a nest with grass, and preferred the smell of Huo Zheng's clothes.

So early in the morning, while Zheng Zheng wasn't around, he searched the closet for all the men's clothes, and in a daze, he gathered the two people's clothes into his nest, wishing he could turn back into a rabbit and let the breath of Zheng Zheng follow him.

"ah!"

He went to the ground barefoot, his long hair scattered to his ankles, regardless of his messy appearance, he rushed back to the bed and disrupted his 'nest', and folded Huo Zheng's clothes one by one and put them back in the closet with shaking hands.

Bai Xi's heart was beating extremely fast, and crimson was spreading from the base of his ears to his neck. After only working for a while, his trousers/crotch felt wet again. In the past seven days, he couldn't remember how many times this was the first time. I changed my pants.

At noon when the sun was brightest, Bai Xi finished drying his trousers, sat in the courtyard and counted ants, chatting with the cat on the wall.

His estrus period is about to pass, and Huo Zheng asked him to stay at home to recuperate his body in the past two days. He ate bowl after bowl of medicinal food every day, and his waist and abdomen became more rounded.

Bai Xi put his palms on his belly, the belly was round, thinking of a little life that appeared inside, his heart, which had been restless for several days, suddenly calmed down, he touched the belly several times back and forth, revealing his white teeth.

In the evening, Huo Zheng rushed home from the academy early, and when he entered, Bai Xi, who was sitting quietly in the courtyard, rushed to him.

Huo Zheng took him firmly into his arms, wiped the fine sweat off his brow, and said with a smile, "Why are you so reckless today?"

Bai Xi smiled from ear to ear, he let go of Huo Zheng, and made a small circle in front of the man, his fingertips resting on his abdomen, "Clang clang clang clang, did you see that?"

Huo Zheng: "..."

The man said: "But the stomach hurts?"

Bai Xi's eyes changed, "No, no, guess again."

Huo Zheng shook his head.

Bai Xi: "You stretch out your hand."

Huo Zheng followed his words, and put his generous palms on Bai Xi's abdomen, "Is it really not a stomachache?"

"Oh!" Bai Xi complained, "Zhengzheng, feel it to see if I'm swollen here."

Huo Zheng touched it and nodded, it was swollen, probably because he had eaten too much recently.

Bai Xi beamed with joy, "You are going to be a father."

Huo Zheng: "...?"

"Zhengzheng, I have a child!"
