Chapter 291: Is it possible to complete the next three months?
It was Thursday.
Tomorrow is Friday.
Anyway, there's only one day left, so I'll just rest for now and go back to school next week.
On Friday night, Lu Zhou had just stepped into his home when his mother, who was waiting in the entryway, caught him red-handed.
With a "smack," Lu's mother slapped him directly on the back.
Lu Zhou was feeling depressed—his older sister, Shen Li, had been ignoring him for several days. He felt he was already pitiful enough, but he didn't expect even his own mother to dislike him. He felt extremely wronged.
"Mom, could it be that you adopted me?" He asked with a long face and a tone full of resentment.
Lu's mother said irritably, "I really wish you were adopted! I've never raised such an irresponsible son. Neither of your uncles are like this. I don't know who you inherited your traits from!"
Lu Zhou felt even more wronged, frowning as he protested, "What did I do now? I'm much more proactive and reliable in class than before, so why am I still being criticized!"
Mrs. Lu glanced around, and seeing no one in the yard, she lowered her voice and scolded, "You still say you're responsible? Xiao Li is pregnant, and you still don't seem to care at all!"
"Huh?" Lu Zhou's mind went blank for a moment, completely dumbfounded.
He had no idea that Sister Li was pregnant!
We even kicked him out the week before last, and he's lost all interest in class.
After a long pause, she cautiously leaned closer and asked, "Is it...is it my second brother's, or mine?"
Upon hearing this, Lu's mother trembled with anger, inwardly cursing herself for not hitting him hard enough: "What do you think?"
Lu Zhou's eyes widened, and he pointed incredulously at his own nose: "Mine?"
Lu's mother raised her hand to hit him again, but this time he reacted quickly and dodged it.
"It's mine! Wow..." Overwhelmed with joy, Lu Zhou almost cheered out loud.
"Keep your voice down! Are you afraid others won't know?" Lu's mother hurriedly pressed him down, nervously looking around.
Lu Zhou then snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll keep my voice down! Mom, where's Sister Li?"
"It should be in her own yard."
"Alright!" Lu Zhou replied, turned around and rushed out like a gust of wind, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Shen Li was reading a book in his study.
The courtyard where she lived was quite large, and the rooms were furnished in a spacious and elegant manner, comparable to the standards of a Chinese presidential suite.
Upon entering, there is a reception room, and to the left is her study; behind the study are the bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom.
In this way, even if someone comes in, they can only see the study when they look up, ensuring excellent privacy.
Lu Zhou, filled with joy, rushed in with light steps.
As soon as he pushed open the gate to Shen Li's courtyard, Shen Li, who was reading in the study, caught a glimpse of him through the window.
Seeing his beaming face, Shen Li wondered to himself: What good thing has happened to this kid?
Before she could think it through, Lu Zhou rushed into the study like a gust of wind and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Sister, I thought you were angry and that's why you weren't talking to me!" Lu Zhou's voice carried a hint of lingering fear as he nuzzled his chin against her neck.
"What good would it do if I ignored you?" Shen Li raised her hand and gently patted his back.
"But you wouldn't let me sleep next to you the other day. I can't see you during the day at school, and you won't even let me sleep next to you when I come back on the weekend." Lu Zhou muttered aggrievedly, then realized what she meant and her tone softened, "I was too selfish. So you had a reason."
As he spoke, he carefully reached out and gently placed his hand on Shen Li's lower abdomen, his voice extremely soft: "Will...will he move?"
Shen Li instantly realized that as soon as the boy came back, his mother must have told everyone what had happened.
She turned to look at the undisguised joy in Lu Zhou's eyes and couldn't help but laugh: "It's only the size of a walnut now, how can it move? You have to wait at least five months before you can feel the baby move."
"Oh, I see." Lu Zhou nodded as if he understood, then became nervous again. "Should we go to the hospital for a checkup? To see if he's alright?"
Shen Li shook her head slightly: "I haven't been there yet, but now that you mention it, I really should get a checkup."
"Then let's go tomorrow! I'll go with you!" Lu Zhou immediately replied, looking at her with bright eyes.
"Okay," Shen Li replied with a smile.
Lu Zhou, taking advantage of the situation, leaned close to her ear and whispered sweetly, "Sister, since you're not angry with me anymore, can I move in and sleep with you?"
Shen Li refused without hesitation: "No. You can't have sex during the first and last three months of pregnancy. You need to take good care of yourself."
Lu Zhou's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "You mean, the middle three months are enough?"
"The middle won't work either," Shen Li interrupted him without hesitation.
"That's exactly what you just said..." Lu Zhou muttered softly, his voice growing lower as he spoke, "Actually, I just thought that if you needed anything tonight, or if you weren't feeling well, it would be convenient for you to call me. I didn't expect that the three months in between would actually be..."
Shen Li sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Fine, I guess I was just being nosy."
"Sister, please let me move in! I promise I won't do anything wrong, I'll just stay quietly with you." Lu Zhou held her hand, swaying it back and forth, pleading and begging, his tone extremely earnest.
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and gently bit Shen Li's neck. The warm breath swept across her skin, causing Shen Li to tremble.
"No." Shen Li turned her head away, her cheeks slightly flushed. "I'm worried I won't be able to control my thoughts."
"That's even better! I'll take care of you." Lu Zhou immediately replied, a sly smile flashing in his eyes.
No matter how much Lu Zhou pleaded and begged, Shen Li didn't budge at first.
But the boy was so persistent, sticking to her side and refusing to leave her side. In the end, Shen Li had no choice but to give in.
"You can move in tonight, but on one condition." Shen Li looked at him firmly, "You're not allowed to come over and eat with me at school at noon anymore."
After all, the two had already had intimate contact before, and their gestures and movements when they were together inevitably carried an air of intimacy, which made it too easy for people to overthink.
Besides, even if he were allowed to come back to sleep, it would only be on Friday and Saturday, which is only two days a week, not much time.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Lu Zhou knew this was his bottom line and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay! I promise! I'll move in tonight!"
"Mmm," Shen Li responded softly.
"By the way, where's Xiaonan?" Shen Li suddenly remembered Lu Nan. "She usually comes to see me as soon as she gets back, so why are you the only one here today?"
"She had a gathering with her classmates and asked me to come back first," Lu Zhou replied casually.
"Oh." Shen Li nodded, looking at him and admonishing him, "You can also get together with your classmates more often, don't always revolve around me, you should also have your own circle of friends." She knew that Lu Zhou didn't have many close friends, and always felt that it was better for a person to have two close friends by their side.
Lu Zhou shook his head, his tone very serious: "I don't need friends. I just want to stay home with my wife and kids, that's enough."
Shen Li teased him on purpose: "Then you're doomed, you don't even have a wife yet."
