My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 502 - 170: Promotional Livestream
In the evening, 3533 indeed came to seek 2569 to learn how to make shrimp dumplings, but not by visiting in person. Instead, they relied on a unique way of communication between housekeeper robots, one in one house, another in another, for remote teaching and learning.
2569’s ability to make shrimp dumplings was already proficient, sufficient to teach 3533, and Du Xixi did not get involved. As the moon in the night sky rose higher, she rubbed her waist and leisurely went upstairs to sleep.
To be honest, she didn’t have many pregnancy symptoms, except for a poor appetite, preferring light foods, and occasional backaches that made her feel a bit impatient.
After the couple finished washing up, Du Xixi sat sideways on the bed, letting Ke Lian, who squatted beside the bed, rub her waist. Ke Lian applied just the right amount of pressure, massaging Du Xixi repeatedly. Du Xixi contentedly closed her eyes and smiled, "Who would have thought, our Marshal is already a skilled masseur." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
When pregnant with Yiyi and Er Er, Du Xixi often experienced calf cramps in the middle of the night, and occasionally her legs would be swollen. Back then, Ke Lian would massage Du Xixi’s legs daily, and his skilled technique was honed during that time.
Ke Lian didn’t feel there was anything wrong with massaging his wife; instead, he felt proud: "How’s the pressure? Do you like this pressure? If you do, I’ll massage you more."
After all, Du Xixi’s aching back and swollen legs were due to bearing children for him, and Ke Lian couldn’t endure the suffering for her; he could only be more considerate in caring for Du Xixi to reduce her suffering.
"I’m much better now, you should get up." Du Xixi gently smiled at him, her eyes as calm as water under the soft light, looking right into Ke Lian’s heart, "It’s getting late, you have work tomorrow, let’s sleep."
Du Xixi genuinely felt much better; Ke Lian massaged a bit more before stopping. After tucking in Du Xixi, who was already lying down, he gently lay beside her.
"Goodnight."

Recently, Du Xixi has been sleeping well. The next day, she rose with full energy, lazily stretched by the window, and enjoyed the beautiful sight of the reddening sun slowly rising on the horizon.
"Morning." After washing up, Ke Lian donned his clean, neatly pressed military uniform, which carried a bit of chill. He placed his hands on the windowsill, loosely wrapping his arms around Du Xixi, "Shall I take you to Blue Star University in a while?"
"If you take me, you’ll have to go out of your way." The Military Department and Blue Star University are in opposite directions, so Du Xixi and Ke Lian usually go their separate ways, "I’ll go by myself; the Mechanical Soldiers accompany me, it’s very safe."
Ke Lian lowered his head, rubbed Du Xixi’s head lightly, and seeing Du Xixi smilingly gazing at the outside scenery, he laughed, "Send me a message to let me know you’re safe when you reach Blue Star University."
"Hmm." Du Xixi softly responded, went to the bathroom to wash up, then went downstairs to have breakfast with Ke Lian. Due to the need to supplement sufficient nutrients during pregnancy, today she was watched by Ke Lian and 2569 to drink a large cup of hot milk.
Du Xixi put down the cup, unable to help frowning: "Actually, I have no animosity towards milk, just the taste is too strong."
Each time after drinking milk, the milky smell lingered in Du Xixi’s mouth for a long time, even rinsing with water would leave some residue, making her dislike drinking milk very much.
"Good girl, eat a piece of candy." Ke Lian took a box of candy from 2569, the fruit candies were made by Du Xixi a few days ago when she was bored, not overly sweet, but pure, "Drinking milk is beneficial for your health, you should drink a glass every day."
Du Xixi huffed but said nothing more, lowering her head to accept the orange candy fed to her by Ke Lian. It was mildly sweet, the scent of orange not too strong, but just enough to suppress the milky taste, which improved Du Xixi’s mood a lot, her expression relaxed.
Both got into their hovercars, Du Xixi cheerfully hummed a tune in the car. Although it was only a few minutes away, the Mechanical Soldier assigned by Ke Lian conscientiously covered Du Xixi with a blanket.
In summer, Du Xixi used a thin blanket; in autumn, a slightly thicker fleece blanket; now, in late autumn, entering early winter, it was a thick wool blanket.
Actually, Du Xixi initially used the blanket because she was physically weak, needing to be cautious of chills even in blazing summer. But later on, her health improved, and bringing a blanket became merely a habit.
