Chapter 42

Edited by Erin & genesis

Chu Xun thought about whether he should go find Xiao Lin.

However, when he thought of Xiao Lin’s family background, he was intimidated. Furthermore, when he left, he had handled it so that all relations were severed and didn’t leave any contact information or method at all. He didn’t remember Xiao Lin’s number, and his disposable mobile phone from the foreign countries had long been lost already.

Even if he wanted to search for Lin Yanchen, there was nothing he could do.

Chu Xun hesitated day after day, and his stomach grew.

It really was a shame.

Especially as the weather gradually got warmer, when he went out occasionally, he had to wear thick clothes to cover his stomach.

He didn’t know if it was because he was a man who shouldn’t be able to have a baby in the first place, but his pregnancy symptoms were particularly serious. It was only better after taking the medicine given by Director Chen.

Chu Xun vomited after eating every day, and after he vomited he would eat again. Even if he didn’t want to eat, he had to supplement his child with nutrition.

Giving birth was a difficult problem. There was also the problem of where the money for raising a child would come from when they were born. His savings had all been given to Lin Yanchen. What could he do? Sell the house and car? Now he was reluctant to sell the house right as the housing prices were skyrocketing; his house could appreciate again, which was even faster than earning money from work.

He also wanted to leave the house for his child. Not only did he not want to sell it, he was also beginning to look into the houses in the school district. If he waited to prepare until then, it would be too late. He had to buy a good house earlier.

As the child was due in winter, his mother had begun to make small clothes and hats for the baby in Chu Xun’s stomach. When the baby was born, it could wear them.

Chu Xun clasped his heavy stomach and looked anxious, “Mom, what if there is something wrong with the baby that can’t be detected in the post birth inspection?”

He was given a tongue lashing by his mother: “You have the same problem as your father! Crow mouth! It won’t happen, the baby will be perfectly healthy.”

Chu Xun: “But I’m still afraid… Director Chen said when it comes to that time, she will cut open my stomach and take the baby out… It turns out it was this exhausting for you women to have children? I can’t sleep well, my stomach is so heavy, and my shoulders ache.”

Mother Chu said, “Now you know that it was not easy for Mother to give birth to you?”

Chu Xun said: “Then since I’m a man, maybe when I give birth…”

Mother Chu turned to the kitchen and scolded, “Teacher Chu, were you the one saying nonsense to this child?! I already told you not to talk nonsense to him! “

Father Chu wearing his apron with a big spoon in his hand: “…”

Once, Chu Xun couldn’t hold back himself back. The doctor also advised him to do as much exercise as possible. Moreover, if Chu Xun was shut indoors all the time, it would make his mood turn even worse. If he got depression, that would be bad. Chu Xun put on a loose shirt and went out for a walk.

At that time, he had been pregnant for nearly six months, but in fact, his stomach was not very big. Director Chen said that the structure of his body was not the same, and the position of the fetus was near the back, so his stomach was not too big.

At first glance, ordinary people would definitely not think about a pregnant man. They might only think that this man had a beer belly. Also, after the first few months, it might be because he was taking medicine properly, but now Chu Xun’s appetite was better, and his face had become rounder.

They passed a barbecue stand and Chu Xun was desperate to eat some.

“If you want to eat, then eat it, ba,” said Father Chu.

Father and son sat down to eat. It felt nice to eat kebabs in summer as the night wind blew.

Before their things finished roasting, several uncles came. Because there were no more seats, they asked if they could share the table.

Chu Xun was a civilized man. When others kindly asked, he naturally agreed.

The uncles came out to drink beer and eat barbecue in the middle of the night — to shoot their mouths and idly chat. They also struck up a conversation with Chu Xun and asked him if he was from here, where he worked, whether he was married or not, and whether he had children.

Although Chu Xun was kind, he wasn’t to the point where he would talk to strangers about anything.

Father Chu was a little upset. He thought that these uncles were being too excessively excited, even clapping Chu Xun on the shoulder.

Just then, one of the uncles looked at Chu Xun’s stomach and said, “Young man, your stomach is quite big? How many months have you been pregnant ah?”

Chu Xun: “…”

Before Chu Xun could answer, another uncle burst out laughing, lifted up his T-shirt to show his round belly and slapped it with a “pa pa” sound: “This, I’ve been pregnant for 8 months!”

The fattest uncle stood up, and as if he felt disdain, revealed an even rounder belly: “Yours is at most 6 months, I call this 8 months.”

The first uncle who asked laughed happily: “Your wife was not as big as you when she had a baby!”

They sat and laughed in a circle for a while, and then said to Chu Xun, “Young man, you have a good appearance, but you are not in good shape. Otherwise, I would introduce my niece to you. Young person, not married, cannot be this fat, otherwise you can’t get a wife!”

“Yes, once you get married, however many months old your stomach wants to be, it can be.”

Chu Xun was amused by them: “Hahahaha, thank you big brothers, I know now.”

He hadn’t relaxed for a long time. Suddenly, he felt an impulse and said, “I’m not lying to you. In fact, I am really pregnant. The baby in my stomach is six months. Ha ha ha ha.”

Of course, the eldest big brother didn’t believe him. He laughed and said, “You’re sure good at cracking jokes. Also, what could your little belly be considered? It can’t be more than three months. Not any bigger than that. I even said, my belly is what’s called six months.”

Chu Xun went out for a stroll. He was quite happy.

He suddenly realized that he was in an unfamiliar city, so there was no need to hide.

Ordinary people wouldn’t come to the conclusion of a man pregnant with a child. He could just eat until his face became more round. When he went out, people would only think that he was a middle-aged fat uncle.

As it was nearing the due date, his parents discussed with him: “Jun Jun, what are your plans after the birth of your child? Go back to City X? Or do you want to come back to the old house with us?”

Chu Xun said: “…I don’t want either.”

Father and mother looked at each other in dismay. Father Chu sighed and said, “I knew you would say that. Indeed, we really can’t go back… I’ve already sold the old house.”

Chu Xun was shocked: “I don’t have a terminal illness, why are you still selling the house?!”

Father Chu said: “I’ve got my eye on a house in Y City, and I’m planning to buy it. Anyway, this is an unfamiliar place. You can work here and raise the child. No one knows you. Your mother and I also have pensions; later, we can help you take care of the child, that will also be very good. “

Chu Xun was speechless for a long time: “I am really… I am really an unfilial son. You have gotten ready to live out your elderly days, but I caused you to have to leave your hometown and and be unable to enjoy life in retirement.”

Father Chu said, “It’s okay. City Y is also a good place for the elderly. Your mother went to the plaza to dance and has gotten to know a circle of friends. Don’t be such a stickler for formalities. It doesn’t matter which city it is. Where a family reunites is where home is.”

After buying the new house, Chu Xun safely reached seven months of pregnancy.

His mood was more relaxed than before, and he went strolling with his parents from time to time.

He would also go shopping with his mother at the supermarket on weekends.

Chu Xun walked along, and suddenly heard as if someone were shouting for him. He turned around and saw that on the side was a group of people snapping up some bargains.

“What’s the matter?” Mom asked.

“Nothing…” Chu Xun said. He may have heard wrong.

They turned a corner.

Just then there was a man struggling out of the crowd and looking around anxiously.

Ji Tianze was on a business trip to Y City. He didn’t expect to see Chu Xun accidentally, but now he didn’t know where he went.
