My Crush Also Has a Crush on Me!-Chapter 204: Post-Marriage Extra 2 - Welcoming the Light
Shen Liguang bought a house, but still lived with Li Ruolan, as at that time they were considering Fu Ying, and coincidentally, the house owner opposite his family’s house wanted to sell their property.
After renovating the house, it remained unoccupied. Later, because they bought a house in another city, they planned to sell this empty house.
Shen Liguang thinking about Fu Ying being pregnant, and the new house would need redecoration including concerns of formaldehyde, which Fu Ying couldn’t tolerate, bought the house.
The house was new and remained unoccupied after buying. Shen Liguang had it simply decorated in a style she liked, the pastoral style.
He also bought new furniture and appliances, everything new.
And it just happened to be across from Li Ruolan, which was convenient.
So, most of the time, they stayed at Li Ruolan’s place.
When they entered, Li Ruolan had already cooked dinner.
Feeling guilty, Fu Ying wiped her mouth and whispered to Shen Liguang, "Don’t say it."
Shen Liguang smiled indulgently: "Hmm."
"Go wash hands, let’s eat."
"Coming, Mom."
It wasn’t easy for Fu Ying to change from calling her "auntie" to "mom," it felt awkward at first, but now it came more naturally.
"Go wash your hands."
Li Ruolan always cooked various nutritious meals. Fu Ying didn’t eat much at night, feeling tired, she went back to the bedroom.
Outside the door, Li Ruolan sighed and instructed Shen Liguang, "You really need to spend more time with Yingying."
"What happened?"
"Have you noticed Yingying’s emotions have intensified since her pregnancy? She used to be so calm. I have heard from people in the neighborhood about prenatal depression; it’s serious."
After their wedding, they’d only meet about once every half a month, he had never accompanied her to prenatal check-ups, he certainly wasn’t a qualified husband.
Shen Liguang nodded: "I understand."
"Also, I’ve noticed she’s been secretly eating spicy strips and cold drinks, remind her subtly, don’t tell her to stop, just to eat less. It’s just pregnancy cravings."
Mentioning this, Shen Liguang remembered the little girl just crying outside over cravings, couldn’t help but laugh: "She just cried outside."
"Cried?"
"Wanted to eat ice cream."
Li Ruolan also laughed: "It wasn’t you who scolded her to tears, right?"
"Craving."
"Like a child, such a cute little girl." Li Ruolan’s eyes filled with joy talking about Fu Ying, "In the past, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship was a challenging issue, I had a tough relationship with your grandmother, luckily Yingying is such a good girl, I don’t face those issues."
"You’re good too, the relationship between two people is mutual, you’re nice to her, she’s sensible, aware, and naturally she’s good to you too."
Li Ruolan nodded: "That’s true."
...
Fu Ying laid in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, waiting a while before he finally showered and entered the bedroom.
Shen Liguang just sat on the bed when the little girl crawled into his arms and then leaned on him, playing Candy Crush.
Shen Liguang put on a comedy, although watching the movie, his attention was mainly on Fu Ying.
Seeing that Fu Ying was struggling, he reached out to swipe the screen to help her pass the level.
Suddenly Fu Ying found Candy Crush uninteresting, and grabbed his phone.
His phone had games, ones she couldn’t understand.
She often watched little guys play too, shouting "Give me blue, I want blue" or cursing.
"Log into my account."
Shen Liguang took the phone, logged into his WeChat account, then started a game for her.
"Which hero?" Shen Liguang asked, looking down.
Fu Ying pointed at the screen, "This little girl."
"Angel, Mage, goes mid lane."
"Mid lane, this road?"
"Yes."
"Why is this pillar hitting me?"
"...That’s the enemy tower, wait for your minions."
"Why can’t I hit others?"
"Your skills missed."
"What does ’fw’ mean?"
Shen Liguang glanced at the screen: "Praising you."
"What are you praising me for?"
"Magic King."
After six minutes into a game, teammates surrendered one after another.
Fu Ying found it boring and exited the game.
Looking at his phone’s screensaver and lock screen, which were pictures of her at nineteen, she frowned: "Brother, can you change it?"
"No."
Fu Ying lowered her eyes and switched back to her phone, continuing to play Candy Crush.
Shen Liguang bowed his head, his chin resting in the hollow of her neck, and kissed her neck, "Why did you stop playing?"
"No, it isn’t a good gaming experience."
Fu Ying’s neck and ears were her most sensitive spots; every time he stimulated her, her body would shudder, and his lips gently kissing her neck made her face turn red all the way to her neck.
After she became pregnant, he had been quite well-behaved.
He was always teasing her or kissing her until her whole body softened.
Once, he pinned her on the couch to kiss her, and Li Ruolan caught them, scolded him, and made him sleep on the couch.
Sometimes, she would crawl into his arms on the couch, and Li Ruolan would eventually stop minding.
"Give brother a kiss."
Fu Ying licked the corner of her mouth, her cheeks blushing.
"Okay, okay."
Fu Ying was forced to turn her head; as he leaned down just touching her lips, she got scared due to a sudden noise outside and immediately pushed him away, her face full of panic.
"What are you scared of? It’s just a kiss."
"Last time you kissed me, you were sent out to sleep."
"You side with me, mom can’t handle us."
"I’m also afraid that while kissing, you’ll become naughty."
Shen Liguang: "Then let’s sleep."
Fu Ying’s sleep was not good after pregnancy; she could not sleep at all in his arms.
"Can’t sleep again?"
"Yup."
His hand touched her stomach, his palm gently stroking her belly through the thin white nightgown.
At night, the fetal movements became more noticeable, Shen Liguang frowned, "Is he disturbing you?"
Fu Ying looked up, her tone particularly aggrieved: "Yeah, every time I lie flat, he keeps moving; if I sleep on my side, he calms down."
"Looks like it’s a boy."
"Do you like boys?"
"I love whatever you give birth to."
"What if I had a child with another man, would you love them too?"
"..." Shen Liguang licked his lips, his voice low, "Say that again."
Fu Ying shrank back.
"Go to sleep, brother will coax you."
Fu Ying nodded and obediently closed her eyes.
He leaned against the bed, leaving a night light on in the room.
He took a fairy tale book and read her a bedtime story, just like soothing a child.
The night was quiet, his voice deep and slow, not noisy, Fu Ying closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Shen Liguang heard her steady, little snores, looked down at her, and couldn’t help but smile.
After getting pregnant, she started snoring.
Shen Liguang turned off the light, kissed her between the eyebrows, and held her as they fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, when she got up for the bathroom, he awakened as soon as she moved slightly.
He was waking up too often in the middle of the night whenever she moved, as if it was a subconscious reaction.
"What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
Fu Ying sat up and looked at him, suddenly feeling upset: "I just wanted to go to the bathroom."
Shen Liguang sighed in relief: "I’ll take you."
