Chapter 992: How is it, do you feel anything?
She didn’t want to interact with Nangong Jin because she couldn’t get past something in her heart, yet she didn’t want to say it out loud. She felt indifferent towards Nangong Jin, thinking of him as a ground...hoodlum...rogue...and a top-grade scoundrel.
...
After a brief joy, intense training kicked off. Di Xiaxia entered a closed training phase, where she couldn’t go home as she ate and drank on the training ground.
Because the day of the competition was fast approaching.
Ever since Di Mingzhe publicly acknowledged his relationship with Di Xiaxia, he felt an immense sense of relief.
How did that saying go? With legitimate reason.
Yes, it was precisely this sense of righteousness and legitimacy that brought peace and solidity to one’s heart.
Although Di Xiaxia’s daily training was intense, he made sure to take her to the training ground every day, holding hands or wrapping his arms around her waist without any hesitation.
He didn’t avoid showing their relationship in front of anyone, behaving in a confident and unabashed manner.
Di Mingzhe’s forthrightness won the admiration of many. Their affection wasn’t just for show; any observant person could see the intense love that couldn’t stem from anything but deep affection.
Di Xiaxia was also in top form during her training, performing very steadily, receiving special praise from her coach.
At the same time, Di Mingjue also entered an intense training phase, but he was special; he couldn’t join the regular athlete training camps and had to train at home.
This time, he wanted to surpass his previous record. Training at home was good—quiet, focused, and he could also take care of Gu Qibao.
Gu Qibao was equally devoted to staying at home and accompanying Di Mingjue during his training. Every time she watched him solve the Rubik’s cube, she couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, completely impressed.
It seemed her mood had brightened a lot, and she was eating a little more than before.
Meanwhile, the Di Family had begun construction on a complete set of entertainment and relaxation rooms for their grandchildren.
Fang Hao was particularly excited, energetically overseeing the work every day.
Di Jinxuan was still going to school, now just with Nangong Ran, but the two kept each other company, so it wasn’t lonely.
Recently, Nangong Jin seemed busy, although it was unclear whether he was busy healing or something else, but he hadn’t come looking for Di Jinxuan on his own much.
Time flew by day after day, and the big competition was just ten days away.
Gu Qibao was nearing one month into her pregnancy. Her lower abdomen no longer concaved slightly inward but resembled a belly that had had a light meal, with a little more curve than before.
Even this small change filled Di Mingjue with excitement, making it his nightly routine to touch Gu Qibao’s belly and chat with the two little seeds.
Gu Qibao was quite speechless and really wanted to ask if they could understand!
But she went along with his enthusiasm nevertheless.
One day, the instructor suggested that Gu Qibao could have her first ultrasound check-up.
They had bought the equipment for their home, as Di Mingjue definitely didn’t want to squeeze through a hospital visit, so they simply bought a four-dimensional color ultrasound machine for the house.
Because it wasn’t advised to have frequent ultrasounds unless necessary, Gu Qibao was taking her first one after more than a month.
This being their first ultrasound, and a color one at that, both were extremely excited, looking forward to seeing traces of life within the belly was truly exhilarating.
For an abdominal ultrasound, one needs to hold their urine, so to prepare for that, Gu Qibao drank plenty of water first thing in the morning and kept drinking non-stop.
Her frequent drinking made Di Mingjue pretty nervous. He couldn’t help but ask, "How is it, do you feel anything?"
