Apart from the time that there would be a good breeze, summer was so hot that even sitting in an air conditioned room offered little relief.
Yun Shishi was starting to grow rather resentful given everything she drank had to be warm!
“Do you guys have the slightest idea what it’s like having to drink warm drinks on such a hot day? I feel like there’s a ball of fire in my body. I’m about to burn! Burn!”
Hua Jin and Youyou looked at each other in sympathy.
Little Yichen’s heart ached even more.
Yun Shishi sat at the table holding the teacup in her hands, looking aggrieved.
The teacup was filled with freshly boiled water that had yet to cool down. She was so thirsty that her throat was about to smoke but she could not drink any water.
The water was too hot.
“These days are simply too torturous!”
She cried her heart out and was completely disheartened.
Pregnancy already makes one easily irritable. Furthermore it was summer. More importantly, her current situation was different from when she was pregnant the first time!
When she first got pregnant, Mu Yazhe had sent a top nursing team to take care of her.
At that time, she was 18 years old and it was her first pregnancy. She did not manifest any serious signs and symptoms of pregnancy then. At first, she had some morning sickness and did not have good appetite. Hence, the caregiver in charge of taking care of her spent a great deal of effort preparing food that appealed to her.
Fruit yogurt, potato salad, watermelon juice, orange juice…
Due to the need to nurture her pregnancy, it was arranged for her to stay in a villa near the sea. Although she did not step out of the house, the villa had a huge courtyard, artificial mountains, and flowing water. When she was free, she would stroll in the courtyard.
When she went strolling, a large group of people would follow closely behind.
After all, the child she was carrying was very precious. Mu Yazhe had repeatedly emphasized that they would be held accountable should anything happen to the mother and child!
They could not afford to slip up!
Hence, they watched over her 24 hours a day.
In the first six months of her pregnancy, she would stroll for half an hour every day because she heard that exercise during pregnancy would lead to a smoother delivery.
Sometimes, when the weather was good, she would go to the beach and walk barefoot on the beach as the tide fell. She would pick up seashells and when she got home, she would settle down and do her handiwork. She would make wind chimes with the shells and hang them at the window.
She was especially good with handicrafts. The wind chimes she made were beautiful and unique.
When the sea breeze came through, the seashells would sway and let out a crisp and pleasant sound when they knocked against each other.
At the time, even though her days were free and easy, she was never idle.
She read books and did her homework. When she had nothing to do, she would watch TV or sit on the swing in the courtyard to bask in the sun. Every day, she made sure she was fully occupied.
However, things were different now.
She could not see, so it was inconvenient for her to do anything.
Pregnancy was extremely boring now. With a child in her belly that she had to protect carefully, she had to be mindful about every little thing.
Reading, watching television, surfing the Internet on the cell phone, doing handicrafts, drawing…
It was basically impossible for her to do all these things independently.
Most of the time, she had to sit in the recliner and listen to the music.
Mu Yazhe had specially bought a bunch of albums for her, saying that he wanted to give the baby prenatal education to cultivate her sentiments.
Sentiments?
Oh, well.
All that Mozart, Chopin, Richard Bradman, good heavens!
Please spare the woman!
Life was already boring enough being blind. This fellow was now using the excuse of prenatal education to imbue her with such elegant music. As a layman however, she felt like dozing off just listening to it!
