When Qin Zhao returned to the room with the food, Jing Li still buried himself in the quilt. He was facing the wall, and all he could see was the tip of his red ear.

He is still sulking.

Qin Zhao put the food back on the table and walked to the bed: "It still hurts? Let me take a look."

Jing Li silently tugged on the quilt on his body, wrapping himself tighter.

Qin Zhao: "..."

It doesn't hurt, but... Qin Zhao really went too far today.

Since he has been unable to have sex recently, Qin Zhao has helped Jing Li several times. Jing Li originally thought that he had gone too far in teasing people in school today, so it would be okay to help him once as a courtesy, but how could he use it——!

There was still burning heat in the roots of her legs, and Jing Li gripped the quilt angrily.

Most of them were learned from story books.

"Okay, let's get up and eat." Qin Zhao leaned down and wanted to kiss the tip of the ear, but he was afraid of making the person more angry, so he had to rub the other person's head, "How about you eat before you get angry again?"

Jing Li muttered: "I won't eat."

"Aren't you hungry now?"

Jing Li pursed his lips and said nothing. A slight sound came from his abdomen: "Gulu..."

Jing Li: "..."

He turned over and sat up and said angrily: "Feed me."

This meant not being angry anymore. Qin Zhao laughed, turned around and went to the table to serve the food.

The advantage of making money is that their life has improved a lot now. At least Jing Li can see meat on the table for every meal, and recently Qin Zhao has been making soup for him from time to time.

The milky white bone soup is stewed with a strong aroma, and your whole body will be warmed up after taking one sip.

Jing Li leaned against the bed and let Qin Zhao feed him a bowl of soup, and sighed: "Didn't you really work as a cook before?"

"..." Qin Zhao asked, "Do you think I look like a cook?"

Jing Li tilted his head and thought for a while, and somehow the image of the cook who was invited by the village chief to cook a banquet two days ago came to mind, and he shook his head: "It doesn't look like that."

If Qin Zhao was like that when he met him, probably...he would still be a domestic fish now.

Although now it can be considered a domestic fish.

Jing Li suddenly thought of something, and his cheeks felt a little hot.

Qin Zhao wanted to continue feeding him, but Jing Li took his hand and said, "You and I will go to the table to eat."

There was absolutely no way he could get angry with this person. Just like just now, he obviously just wanted to make some angry remarks. Why did Qin Zhao just follow him in everything?

Aren't you afraid that he will become more and more willful?

Jing Li picked up the food and thought about it.

After dinner, Qin Zhao went to the village chief's house to discuss with him the division of classes in the academy. He was sorting out the articles he had collected today when he suddenly remembered something: "I will go to the government examination by myself, you don't have to follow me."

The state examination is in mid-April, and it is only the beginning of March, so there is still a month and a half left.

But Qin Zhao felt it necessary to discuss this matter with Jing Li in advance.

Sure enough, Jing Li, who had been reading "Secret Affairs of a Spring Boudoir" with great interest, frowned and raised his head: "Why?"

"Your current body is not suitable for traveling and traveling." Qin Zhao said, "The government examination is held for three consecutive days. I will come back after the examination. It won't take long."

"But..." Jing Li whispered, "Even including the round trip, it will take about ten days."

Since coming here, he has never been separated from Qin Zhao for such a long time.

Qin Zhao stood up and walked to the table, bent down and looked at Jing Li: "If possible, I don't want to be separated from you for so long, but the current situation is special."

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about our child. He is so young, how can he bear to travel long distances?"

Jing Li: "Okay..."

Qin Zhao smiled and kissed Jing Li on the forehead, straightened up, and saw Jing Li lowering his head and touching his belly: "Did you hear what your father said? I'll give you another month, and hurry up and come out before you delay anything."

Qin Zhao: "..."

Carrying a child is not suitable for traveling long distances, so as long as the child is delivered before the imperial examination, everything will be fine and he can follow Qin Zhao to the capital city.

The logic is so simple and clear.

Qin Zhao opened his mouth and wanted to say that although fish give birth much easier than ordinary people and can recover after a few days of rest, it does not mean that they can run around after giving birth.

Besides, don’t the cubs after birth not need care?

But looking at Jing Li's expectant look, he finally just sighed and said nothing.

He just hoped that Koi's constitution wouldn't be so effective at this, otherwise he would really not worry about going to Fucheng by himself.

Qin Zhao thought this way.

Abbot Jingchen had previously said that Jingli would give birth in less than three months. Jingli believed this and insisted that he could give birth to the child in early April.

After all, he was conceived during the New Year. How could an ordinary koi be pregnant for so long?

However, the koi constitution did not work this time, and until Qin Zhao left, there was still no movement in Jing Li's stomach.

"Why is this..." The little koi rolled around in the barrel and patted its bulging belly gently with its fins.

I have been looking forward to it for more than a month, but except for the belly getting bigger, there are no signs of giving birth.

The fish's body was already somewhat inconvenient to move due to its bulging abdomen. Qin Zhao was worried that he would hit him, so he quickly reached into the water to hold the fish: "I told you not to use the fish body, and change back quickly."

"But the fish cubs grow up faster this way."

The little koi fish's tail swayed, but it still obeyed and returned to its human form.

Jing Li casually wrapped himself in some inner clothes, fell down on the bed, and said in frustration: "This little fish cub is not obedient at all. I will teach him a lesson when he comes out."

"Okay, you can't force this kind of thing." Qin Zhao hugged his little fish into his arms.

After such a long time, Jing Li's abdomen has finally swelled. However, he has been carrying the baby for more than four months, and his abdomen still looks like the size of an ordinary person's three months, and the difference is almost invisible when wearing clothes.

Qin Zhaodao: "What do you think of the child? Let him be born as soon as he is born. How can it be such a good thing? What's more..."

He lowered his head and rested his head on Jing Li's slightly bulging abdomen: "I can't give birth now, not even within the next ten days. You have to wait for me to come back, otherwise who will take care of you?"

Jing Li burst out laughing: "You just said you couldn't force it."

"We can't force it, but we can discuss it." Qin Zhao felt the bulging outline and whispered, "Be obedient these days and don't make daddy uncomfortable."

"What's the use of telling him this? He doesn't even understand." Jing Li muttered, playing with Qin Zhao's hair, "I talk to him every day and there's no reaction at all."

Qin Zhao: "It's still too young. It will be better if you grow up."

Jing Li responded in a low voice.

Qin Zhao raised his head, put his arms around the other person's neck and moved closer, kissing Jing Li on the lips: "Can't you bear to leave me?"

Jing Li looked away: "You obviously know..."

"Well, I know." Qin Zhao whispered, "I can't bear to leave you either."

"It's already very late. You have to get up early tomorrow. Don't delay any more." Jing Li said, "Let me help you pack your things."

As he spoke, he broke away from Qin Zhao's arms, picked up Qin Zhao's unpacked luggage and began to pack it.

While doing this, he also warned: "It shouldn't be too cold in Fucheng in April, but you still need to bring a coat, just in case. Is the rice porridge I made for you ready? And where is the soup? You want it?"

Remember……"

"Xiaoyu." Qin Zhao looked at his side face and suddenly whispered, "Are you... worried?"

Jing Li stopped moving.

"I thought you were just a little nervous when you found out you were pregnant, but recently I discovered it was more than that." Qin Zhao pulled Jing Li to the bedside and sat down, asking him to look up at him, "Tell me the truth, Xiaoyu.

, do you...don't want me to go to Fucheng?"

They knew each other too well, and even if Jing Li had deliberately concealed it, he could still see the other's true emotions hidden deep in his heart.

Qin Zhao put his cold fingers into his palms and said warmly: "Actually... you don't want me to continue, right?"

Jing Li's eyes moved slightly and her body became a little tense.

"Don't be nervous, I told you, you can tell me if you have any thoughts." Qin Zhao rubbed the back of the other person's hand and said slowly, "Tell me, what are you thinking about?"

Jing Li was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I...it's not that I don't hope, I'm just...a little worried."

"There are so many people in Fucheng. What should you do if you meet someone who has harmed you before?"

"I asked Grandpa Xue. A large amount of Shen Huansan is not something ordinary people can find." Jing Li said, "I'm a bit stupid, but I still want to get these things. The person who wants to harm you must be powerful.

Maybe he is a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman. If you continue..."

When he said this, he paused and said hurriedly: "I don't mean to tell you not to check anymore, I...I don't know what to do..."

He was so conflicted that he did not dare to mention his thoughts to Qin Zhao.

If he just gave up, let alone Qin Zhao's temperament, not even Jing Li could convince himself.

But if we continue to investigate, what if something unexpected happens to Qin Zhao...
To be continued...
