Reborn as the Villain's Wife, I Shine in 80s-Chapter 443 - 428 Pregnancy Diary

Zhao Chun remained noncommittal, his gaze suddenly shifting downwards, focusing intently and gently on her belly.

"How big is it?"

Tian Sangsang rarely saw him with such a solemn expression. She touched her belly and said, "A little over two months."

"I actually really like kids." Zhao Chun scratched his head, smiled, his eyes curving happily.

Tian Sangsang was startled. This isn’t your child; why do you seem happier than the real father?

"I have a hunch it will be as cute as Yanyan. All little lives are cute and should be treated gently." His smile was clean and harmless, then he suddenly took a deep breath: "No, I am now with great responsibility; I am the neighbor of a pregnant woman. I must go study hard now!!!"

After saying that, like a gust of wind, he disappeared without a trace.

Tian Sangsang didn’t know what he meant by studying hard, but the next day he rushed over all flustered, just as she was making breakfast.

Actually, the breakfast wasn’t much, just simple lean meat porridge and a few cold side dishes.

Turning around and seeing the two very obvious dark circles on his face, she almost got scared: "Did you go to the zoo last night? Turned into a panda overnight."

Zhao Chun casually rubbed his dark eyes. He had stayed up very late last night, cramming on knowledge about pregnant women, like how women get pregnant, the different stages of pregnancy, etc. He hadn’t studied like this since school.

"Is this what you eat every morning?"

Tian Sangsang nodded.

Zhao Chun frowned, thoughtfully looking around the kitchen, then said, "Sangsang, from now on, I’ll take over the cooking at your place. Anyway, I’m not that busy; I come back every day after filming."

Tian Sangsang was speechless, wondering where he got the confidence that she would eat what he cooked. As a friend, she didn’t dare to make him cook either, unless she paid him for it.

Having a male housekeeper at home...

"Have you had breakfast?" she asked blandly.

Zhao Chun weakly shook his head.

He himself was still a big boy needing care, yet he wanted to cook for someone else. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Tian Sangsang said, "Join us for breakfast," and called Meng Shuyan to come out and eat.

"Whoa!" Meng Shuyan came out from the bedroom, covering her little mouth, eyes curving into a line, "Mom, look at Chun Zisu, his eyes are so dark!" The little one giggled, finding it amusing.

Tian Sangsang pretended to just notice, seriously looked for a moment, then couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Zhao Chun awkwardly lowered his head.

"I’ll do the dishes!" After eating, Zhao Chun insisted on doing the dishes.

"No need, I’ll do it."

Zhao Chun spread his arms, protecting the dishes on the table like a mother hen: "I eat at your place for free, and you won’t let me do the dishes? Are you trying to make me die of shame? For the sake of my safety, you must let me handle the chores! Yanyan, don’t you think so?"

Meng Shuyan: "Thank you, Chun Zisu." He didn’t quite understand, just heard Chun Zisu say he’d do the dishes.

Tian Sangsang: "..." I am speechless. Young man, do you have a masochistic tendency?

Tian Sangsang, being someone with OCD and control issues, wasn’t reassured by Zhao Chun doing the dishes out of the blue. She stealthily watched from outside the kitchen while he washed. Goodness, he was washing normally, scrubbing and rinsing each one thoroughly, seemingly flawless. After he finished, she made a point to check them, each was spotless and gleaming, finally easing her OCD.

"I bought two books," Zhao Chun said seriously, sitting by the table with wide eyes: "One for you to read, one for me. They’re different, so we can swap after reading."

Pregnancy knowledge manuals,

Actually, there were many such books in the space, and while Tian Sangsang was flattered, she was more shocked: "Wait, why do you need to read it? Have you overcome biological barriers to become the first man in history to..."

Zhao Chun’s eyes widened, his face immediately turning red: "I’m your neighbor, I have to be responsible for you for now! I’m scared you might miss something, and I can help you watch!" He seemed to be greatly wronged. What kind of talk is this? What does she mean?

Tian Sangsang pursed her lips, oh’d, "As long as you’re not overcoming barriers."

Zhao Chun snorted coldly, feeling like he didn’t want to talk to her anymore, there was always a sense that she had turned bad after getting pregnant, as wicked as when she was previously chunky. But considering she was pregnant, he endured!

"And this." Zhao Chun produced a piece of paper from somewhere, sliding it over: "This is a menu, including what should be eaten in the early, mid, and late stages of pregnancy, what’s not to be eaten, what’s to be eaten; there is a rationale for everything."

Tian Sangsang picked it up, softly reading: "Suggestion, in the early pregnancy stage, for breakfast you can choose fish fillet porridge, mushroom lean meat porridge, to make fish fillet porridge, take a fresh fish..." She read a little and couldn’t continue. What is this nonsense?

Zhao Chun saw her look of disgust and immediately felt deeply hurt.

The next morning, just as Tian Sangsang got up and hadn’t made breakfast yet, she opened the door, stepped into the courtyard to stretch, and heard a "thud" as something fell to the ground.

She looked over, and it was Zhao Chun struggling up from the ground, dusting off his clothes and pants.

Embarrassed at being seen in this state, Zhao Chun felt awkward.

He pretended to be calm as he walked up to Tian Sangsang and asked, "Have you made breakfast?"

Tian Sangsang didn’t answer him but said, "Why climb over the wall when there’s a door?"

Zhao Chun grinned, "I was afraid knocking would disturb you, climbing the wall is more convenient. Our yards are next to each other; I’ll stick to the wall climbing in the future." Knocking doesn’t always get a response, but wall climbing only needs a ladder.

Tian Sangsang was speechless, turning to head to the kitchen.

Zhao Chun quickly walked ahead, hurriedly saying: "I told you, I’ll handle your meals starting today. You just prepare the ingredients, and I’ll do the rest. I can learn to wash and cook, and learn...

Tian Sangsang paused, looked at him, and said softly: "Actually, you don’t need to...

Before she could finish, Zhao Chun burst into laughter: "Just let me practice! I’m not just wanting to help you; I just want to bum meals off you every day. My mom always hopes I can learn to cook, so I can help out when I get married, instead of leaving everything to my wife."

Tian Sangsang couldn’t help but feel regret. If Ji Yao’er were still alive, he’d surely be happy.

"Alright, for the sake of you getting married sooner."

Zhao Chun had researched a breakfast dish called egg custard yesterday and couldn’t wait to show it off today. He thought that pregnant women are the hardest-working creatures on earth; the ten-month gestation process is arduous. After reading the book yesterday, he found it to be even more magical and great. As a neighbor and friend, he found it necessary to lend a helping hand.

He also thought of Ji Yao’er’s child from before.

Life, indeed, is precious.

Tian Sangsang sat on the sofa, already munching on some snacks to stave off her hunger, since breakfast wasn’t ready yet, and she was already starving. After about half an hour, Zhao Chun finally emerged from the kitchen with three steaming bowls, humming a little tune in high spirits.
