BXBX NOVEL Chapter 463 - Muscle Cramps
Song Xing Xing;'s stomach continued to grow as she reached the third trimester. Because she was carrying a twin, her stomach was especially large. With her body condition, Song Xing Xing mostly stayed at home as it was uncomfortable for her to move around.
As she stood in front of the mirror, Song Xing Xing lowered her gaze and sighed. Her stomach was too big that she could not look at her toes anymore.
However, it was still amazing to think that there were two small lives growing in her stomach. Thinking that she will have to wait for a few more weeks before the baby will come out, Song Xing Xing could only tell herself to be patient.
Song Xing Xing waddled to the living room and finally took a seat. However, a pain jolted around her leg area, making her wince. Song Xing Xing tried to massage her calf but she could not reach it because of her heavy stomach.
The pain was too much and it almost made her cry.
"What happened?" Hearing his voice, Song Xing Xing turned around and looked at her husband with teary eyes. "Hubby, it's painful."
Lu Xun grew anxious when he heard her words "What? Where is it painful? Should I call the ambulance? No. I'll drive you myself."
Seeing that the man was about to leave her side, Song Xing Xing grabbed his hand in time and explained. "No. It's my legs. Muscle cramps."
Lu Xun finally calm down. He sat down beside his wife and started to massage her painful calf. "Is it here?"
"Un." Song Xing Xing nodded. The muscle cramp gradually disappeared, but she was enjoying Lu Xun's attentive massage too much to say anything.
Seeing the way Lu Xun continued to massage her legs with a serious look on his face, Song Xing Xing leaned in and pecked at the side of his lips.
However, her lips could only graze his skin lightly.
Lu Xun turned around to look at his wife and saw her smiling back at him in adoration. Seeing the eyes that were full of love and her bulging stomach made him feel warm.
Being pregnant was a lot of hard work but Song Xing Xing did not complain much about it. In fact, Lu Xun thought that his wife was too happy.
Lu Xun could only hope that Song Xing Xing would give birth to the twins earlier as he did not want his wife to suffer further.
"Are you feeling better now?"
Song Xing Xing was about to open her mouth to answer when her expression changed again. Seeing that a certain someone was about to panic again, Song Xing Xing grabbed his hand and placed it on her tummy.
"Can you feel it?"
Lu Xun pursed his lips into a thin line as he felt the movement. His brow furrowed thinking of how painful it would be for his wife to be kicked repeatedly like this.
"Did they do this often?" Lu Xun asked. He already made a note to himself to punish the child if they bullied their mother after they came out.
"Recently, they were a little active. Maybe they could sense you close and wanted to play with you." Song Xing Xing tilted her head to one side. "Do you think that perhaps we might be having boys?"
"I don't know. Whatever gender you will be giving birth to, I will love them the same."
Song Xing Xing laughed. The look in her eyes became gentler as she looked at her husband. After a brief hesitation, Song Xing Xing waved her hand, motioning him to come closer to her. Grabbing the front of his shirt, Song Xing Xing started to kiss Lu Xun's lips deeply.
The sound of the doorbell snapped them out of their moments.
Lu Xun glanced at the door with an unhappy expression before he looked at his wife again. "Are we expecting someone?"
Song Xing Xing adjusted her clothes and finally remember that she was supposed to be meeting someone. "Ah! That should be Xia Yu. It's been a while since we saw each other and I invited her to come over."
Seeing that Auntie Wei came out of the kitchen to open the door, Lu Xun quickly stopped her and volunteered to greet their guests.
Lu Xun could understand that his wife would be bored staying home most of the time. Lu Xun was relieved that someone would come over to visit his wife. He walked over to the door and saw the surprised look on Xia Yu's face.
"President Lu." Xia Yu greeted. She had not expected that the man himself would come to the door himself.
Lu Xun nodded and stood aside. "Please come in. Xing Xing is already waiting for you."
Xia Yu changed her shoes into the guest slipper and walked into the house. Her eyes lit up when she saw her friend sitting on the sofa. Seeing that Song Xing Xing tried to get up, Xia Yu quickly stopped her.
"You girls sit here and have a talk," Lu Xun said. "I'll be in my office." He turned to his wife and spoke, "Call me if you need anything."
Xia Yu breathed in relief when Lu Xun was no longer around. She looked at Song Xing Xing's stomach and smiled. "It seemed that your tummy continued to grow each time I see you."
Song Xing Xing laughed as she caressed her stomach. "Xia Yu, you look prettier each time that I see you."
The girl's cheek flushed. "Don't joke around. How is your pregnancy? Is everything going well?" Xia Yu quickly tried to change the topic.
"It's fine. There are a few more weeks before I give birth. I'm a little anxious and excited at the same time." Song Xing Xing continued to tell Xia Yu about her pregnancy progress. As Xia Yu was a nurse she could give her some advice in a certain area.
The two friends chatted happily while eating the snacks that Auntie Wei had prepared for them.
"That's right, I have something to tell you," Xia Yu spoke as she put down the cup of tea on the table.
Song Xing Xing looked at her with worry. "What is it."
"It's nothing that you should be worrying about." Xia Yu smiled. "Just that, a while ago, I received an internship offer in F Country. It will be at a prestigious hospital under a well-known professor. Xing Xing, I'm planning to take this offer."
"Congratulations!" Song Xing Xing beamed. Her smile gradually disappeared and a worried look appeared on her face. "What about Huo Yun Chen? Have you discussed this matter with him?"
Xia Yu lowered her head upon hearing her boyfriend's name. "Mhm... he said I should go and take this chance. One year is not that long and we can make this relationship work."
"That's good." Song Xing Xing breathed in relief.. She had already made a plan to ask Lu Xun to give Huo Yun Chen a chance to work in F Country so that he could accompany Xia Yu.
