Chapter 137: Pregnant?
Du Feng was clearly stunned.
He rarely heard this form of address outside of heat periods or intimacy.
After the coronation, the little Omega usually called him by his name, or “Your Majesty” when teasing him.
The word “Husband” seemed forever accompanied by sweet, cloying pheromones and the trembling of deep emotional arousal.
They didn’t often speak overly melodramatic words of love; even “I miss you” and “I love you” weren’t on their lips every day.
Therefore, every time such words were spoken, the longing could be felt as if it were tangible.
The man hooked his lips. “I miss you too, Wife.”
The Alpha’s deep voice was pleasant and moving; it seemed the tip of his heart began to tremble because of that single word.
This was the umpteenth time Shen Zhuo’s heart had fluttered for Du Feng.
Perhaps it would be the same in the future.
Seeing the tips of the boy’s ears turn red, Du Feng’s mood finally improved a little.
But their call only lasted half an hour before Du Feng was called away to a meeting by Ji Weishen.
They needed some time to get results from the tissue obtained from the Bug Mother.
But based on the surface images of the Bug Mother uploaded by Chu Baixian’s team, the military could begin planning the next step.
After hanging up, the unlit room instantly plunged into darkness.
Shen Zhuo lay on the bed, his palm covering his lower abdomen, fine cold sweat beading on his forehead.
This occasional cramping pain didn’t feel like he had eaten something bad…
Could it be gastroenteritis?
Or stomach pain from hunger…
Shen Zhuo had extensive knowledge of external trauma.
But for internal ailments like this, he was completely in the dark and could only guess blindly.
“Little Zhuo, did you not eat?”
Chu Baixian’s voice happened to ring out from outside the door. “I served you some food. Eat it and then sleep.”
Shen Zhuo propped himself up from the bed bit by bit.
He took a few deep breaths to suppress the pain, trying his best to look like nothing was wrong.
Opening the door, he saw Chu Baixian standing under the hallway lights holding a tray with the dinner prepared on the plane.
“Eat some…” Chu Baixian started to speak but stopped, constantly sizing up the boy.
“Where does it hurt? Why are your lips so pale?”
“Oh… I have a bit of a stomachache because I haven’t eaten.”
Shen Zhuo subconsciously told a lie and took the dinner Chu Baixian brought. “Thank you, Brother Baixian.”
Chu Baixian crossed his arms and looked at him, shaking his head helplessly.
“I’ll go to the infirmary to get you some stomach medicine later. Go eat quickly.”
Shen Zhuo nodded. The feeling of forcefully enduring pain while pretending nothing was wrong wasn’t very pleasant.
Once the door closed, Shen Zhuo immediately placed the tray on the table.
He leaned on the table, gasping deeply for breath. Cold sweat slid down his forehead to his brow and dripped from his eyelashes.
His ears were filled with the sound of his pounding heart.
Maybe he really was just overly hungry.
Shen Zhuo sat down slowly and forced himself to eat a few bites, barely able to taste anything.
After a short while, there was another knock on the door.
Shen Zhuo rubbed his face and lips, wanting to give himself some color so he looked okay.
But passing by the mirror, he saw what a mess he was.
The hair on his forehead was plastered down by cold sweat, his face was bloodless, and his lips were white as paper.
Shen Zhuo frowned and rubbed his lips hard with his fingers a few times.
He rubbed until it hurt, and only then did his lips slowly turn red.
Only then did the boy go to open the door.
Chu Baixian shoved the stomach medicine into Shen Zhuo’s hand, looking him up and down.
“Are you sick?”
Chu Baixian knew best what a sick person looked like. Earlier, the room hadn’t been lit, so he hadn’t seen clearly.
Now, the boy’s weak and exhausted appearance was exposed clearly under the lights.
This wasn’t a sign of being overly hungry.
Chu Baixian couldn’t help but feel startled inside and turned to leave immediately.
“I’ll go find the military doctor. We’re still more than ten hours from the Royal Palace. Don’t be afraid. Don’t close your door.”
But Shen Zhuo grabbed Chu Baixian’s hem.
Meeting the man’s surprised gaze, the boy swallowed and begged softly, “Don’t tell Du Feng yet.”
Chu Baixian understood the urgent situation at headquarters.
Close-range images of the Bug Mother were being uploaded to the General Command; it was the time for the high-ranking officials to meet and strategize.
Seeing the kid looking pale yet stubborn, he didn’t have the heart to refuse.
“Alright. If it’s not serious, I won’t tell him.”
Shen Zhuo finally smiled with relief.
After Chu Baixian hurried away, a wave of nausea suddenly surged in Shen Zhuo’s throat.
His stomach churned violently. Shen Zhuo endured for a few seconds, but it only got worse. He could only stumble toward the bathroom.
He vomited up everything he had just eaten.
But vomiting didn’t make him feel any better.
Shen Zhuo originally stood by the toilet, but later he couldn’t support himself and half-knelt.
It wasn’t until his vision blurred with mist and he couldn’t see anything clearly, throwing up only bile, that he felt a little more comfortable.
He cleaned up around the toilet and rinsed his mouth, coinciding with Chu Baixian entering the room.
Followed by the military doctor, Chu Baixian hurriedly helped Shen Zhuo to the bed.
Stethoscope, blood pressure monitor, and other basic examination equipment were all used, but the military doctor found nothing abnormal.
The military doctor frowned and thought for a while, then said to Shen Zhuo:
“Your Majesty, let me take your pulse.”
Normally at a time like this, Shen Zhuo would comfort Chu Baixian saying he was actually fine.
But right now, he really had no strength.
His slender wrist rested in the military doctor’s fingers. The man took his pulse carefully for a while, his expression changed, and he actually laughed out loud.
Chu Baixian had been anxious on the side, but seeing the military doctor’s expression, he put a hand to his forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Leaving Shen Zhuo looking completely bewildered.
Why did he suddenly get happy?
Chu Baixian nodded to the military doctor to let him go back first, then turned to look at Shen Zhuo.
“You’re not sick.”
Shen Zhuo: “?”
“Then I…?”
“Are you nauseous?”
Chu Baixian turned up the room’s air conditioning by two degrees before facing Shen Zhuo again.
Shen Zhuo nodded. “I was a little bit just now.”
Chu Baixian wore an expression that said, You still don’t know?
Shen Zhuo sat on the edge of the bed, stunned for a moment.
The pain made his brain sluggish.
“I…” Shen Zhuo’s face suddenly turned very ugly. “I’m not undergoing secondary differentiation, am I?”
Spontaneous secondary differentiation in adulthood did happen.
Basically, it was Betas differentiating, but there were very rare cases of Omegas differentiating into Alphas.
There had been one case in history, three hundred years ago.
Chu Baixian: “…”
Unbelievable.
Why were both of their brain circuits so weird?!
“Sometimes, I really want to crack open your and Du Feng’s brains to see what exactly is inside.”
Chu Baixian almost pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. “Let me ask you, when was your last heat?”
Shen Zhuo calculated. “More than a month ago.”
Chu Baixian guided him patiently. “Then did your heat not come this month?”
Shen Zhuo nodded obediently. “I took a delay injection. It lasts for three months.”
Chu Baixian: “…”
Okay, okay, so that’s the situation.
Shen Zhuo was thoroughly confused. Not sick, not differentiating. Then his stomach pain now was because…
The boy suddenly remembered something and let out a soft “Oh.”
Then, under Chu Baixian’s shining, expectant gaze, he said:
“Is it a side effect of the heat delay injection?”
Chu Baixian: “……”
“You’re pregnant!” Chu Baixian couldn’t take it anymore.
Shen Zhuo froze.
For a moment, everything seemed to stand still.
The prolonged daze made his eyes and ears fall silent.
Even Chu Baixian’s voice slowly faded away.
A sharp ringing appeared in his ears, stretching time infinitely.
His fingers slowly touched his lower abdomen in disbelief.
It was still very flat; under the thin skin were beautifully defined ab lines.
Pregnant?
After seeing Doctor Lin last month, Du Feng had indeed been taking medicine, but there had been no changes in any indicators for half a month.
Then Doctor Lin prescribed some medicine for him.
It tasted sweet.
But because he had to come investigate the Bug Mother, he stopped drinking it.
He thought conceiving would be a very difficult process.
If not years, it would take months, so he was prepared for a long battle.
Now he was suddenly told he had conceived.
“Oh hey, I wasn’t really angry, and I wasn’t yelling at you.” Chu Baixian immediately grabbed a tissue and gently wiped the boy’s face.
“If Du Feng finds out about this, I won’t be able to retire until my next life.”
But Shen Zhuo was like he was in a dream, muttering to himself:
“I… am pregnant…”
The boy’s voice trembled. When he lowered his head, tears he hadn’t noticed fell directly onto his clothes.
The moment he heard the news, the first joy he felt was not because he was about to become a father.
But that Du Feng could live on.
As long as he gave birth to the child.
With a child, Du Feng wouldn’t leave with him after he died…
Du Feng could live in this world.
He was very selfish, very selfish.
But he just wanted Du Feng to live, even if he wasn’t happy.
“Rest first. Don’t cry, and don’t panic. I’ll ask the doctor to prescribe some soothing medicine and nutrients for you, and put you on an IV later.”
Chu Baixian didn’t know Shen Zhuo’s thoughts; he just assumed the boy was weeping with joy.
He revealed a congratulatory smile and said softly, “When we get to the Royal Palace and have Du Feng’s pheromones, you’ll feel much better.”
Shen Zhuo hurriedly snapped back to reality and grabbed Chu Baixian’s sleeve urgently.
“Can we keep it a secret from him for now?”
“A surprise?” Chu Baixian winked. “I can keep it a secret, but there’s a condition.”
Shen Zhuo didn’t expect him to say that and paused blankly.
“…What?”
Chu Baixian pressed the boy down to lie flat and covered him with the quilt.
The man’s hair had grown long again, falling on his collarbone, softening his brows and face.
“Rest and sleep right now, and I’ll keep your secret.”
He was already exhausted after returning from the Bug Mother.
Before closing his eyes, Shen Zhuo suddenly thought about his sleep quality recently.
No wonder he had been tired these days; actually, there were signs all along.
Chu Baixian turned off the light for Shen Zhuo and left quietly.
Shen Zhuo didn’t know when the IV was set up for him, but when he woke up, there was no one in the room.
The pain had alleviated significantly. He lifted his hand; there was an inconspicuous small needle mark on the back of his hand.
Shen Zhuo walked to the window and took a look.
They were already near the Imperial Capital.
He subconsciously touched his lower abdomen, feeling it was very miraculous.
Right now, inside his belly, there was a tiny life.
It was his and Du Feng’s baby.
Shen Zhuo looked at the flowing clouds below the plane and the distant Royal Palace, the corners of his mouth rising into a very happy arc.
“Let’s go give him a surprise together, okay?”
The plane stopped at the General Command. Du Feng had just rushed over from the Royal Palace to pick up the boy.
On the ground, Ji Weishen, Liang Yeta, and Mi Jia stood in a row. In front of them stood Du Feng, who had started looking up at the sky very early on.
Watching the plane land, they strode forward directly.
Ji Weishen hugged the Omega who flew into his arms: “Not injured, right? That’s good, that’s good. I brought candy for you.”
Ai Li: “Kisses!”
Mi Jia bowed in a knight’s salute and draped the cloak he brought over Feng Muya. “Princess, I have come to take you back.”
Feng Muya: “Mn-hm.”
Liang Yeta walked up to Fu Qishang and was silent for a moment. “Give me the time it takes to eat a meal, and I’ll explain to you.”
Fu Qishang: “??”
Du Feng reached out, helping the boy down the stairs. He stared for a long time before pulling him into his arms, his voice hoarse and restrained:
“Madam.”
The heart that had been suspended finally settled after a tangible embrace.
Du Feng immediately released soothing pheromones. “Welcome home.”
Shen Zhuo hugged the Alpha’s waist, the corners of his lips unconsciously rising again, like a happy titmouse in the spring breeze:
“Du Feng, let me tell you a secret.”
