Chapter 620: Chapter 618: Jianxiong’s Confession

“No, they’re very weak.”

The man held her for a while before he voluntarily got out of bed to get her something to eat.

Ever since Su Mo fully embraced the life of being pampered, she had been taking care of fewer and fewer external matters, until some soldiers reported that the cattle shed and sheep shed had been completed, only then did she hasten to finish her meal and dragged Lu Chen to the plantation area.

As the weather was very cold, out of worry that the cows would freeze to death, they found a lot of hay to lay a thick bedding inside, and the walls erected on both sides were just right. There was also a chicken coop to the side, home to the chickens they had saved previously, which had laid quite a few eggs.

Su Mo asked people to step back, stood with her belly out in the cattle shed, and picked directly from the All Things Tree. In the blink of an eye, two adult cattle and five or six sheep appeared right before everyone’s eyes.

Everyone was baffled by her actions.

There really were cows! And they hadn’t mutated!

Looking at the enormous cows with satisfaction, Su Mo laughed and said, “We’ll raise them to have a few calves, and I think I can even grow dairy cows, so later on we can milk a couple for drinking.”

At this moment, those cows were like precious animals, being observed by everyone.

It had been so long since they had seen such a creature, even the soldiers couldn’t resist placing their hands on the cows’ backs. The cows obediently stood still, which made them all very happy.

“This is amazing.”

Everyone looked at Su Mo with admiring eyes, her status in P City’s refugee camp was probably even higher than Rong Bai’s now.

When Lu Chen took her out of the plantation area, people around them kept casting kind glances from time to time.

She was quite happy to receive them.

In no time, the whole refugee camp was abuzz with the news that there was a breeding ground in the plantation area.

On the way back, Su Mo also visited the area where ordinary people lived. A large amount of clothes that had been found outside had been distributed, and most people were now able to wear several warm pieces, which should be enough to get them through this period.

After wandering around the refugee camp, Su Mo was taken by Lu Chen to the hospital, as her belly seemed to be growing every day.

The fetal development was so rapid that they had to be careful.

In the fourth month, the weather turned even colder, and Su Mo had been expressly forbidden from going out unless accompanied by Lu Chen or a companion.

Her belly was only four months along, but the fetus inside had already grown to the size of about seven months.

What was even more miraculous was that this fetus, which had developed rapidly to the size of seven months, was still very healthy and intact. Lu Chen also repeatedly confirmed with the doctor that there were no mutations in the child inside her.

Compared to the previous month, the only difference with Su Mo was that she had become even more of an eater. A single bowl that used to fill her up now took three bowls to satisfy.

Despite eating like this, she hadn’t gained weight but had become even slimmer than before.

The doctor’s final conclusion was that all the nutrition was being absorbed by the child in her belly, and to avoid it growing too large and coming out early, Su Mo had recently had to control her diet.

She was very hungry but couldn’t eat too much, and had to keep her daily food intake in check.

But such days didn’t last long before she became even thinner.

The child inside her was too strong; if she didn’t eat, all she absorbed was her own body’s energy.

Watching her gradually lose weight, Lu Chen could no longer control himself and incessantly fed her extra meals every day.

“Let it grow, and when the time comes for a C-section, we’ll take it out,” he said, practically never leaving Su Mo’s side, staying with her all day long.

Su Mo could already distinctly feel the little one in her belly moving around, and even though she was getting thinner, the maternal bond filled her heart with an inexplicable surge of love.

She knew, no matter what, she would give birth to this child as long as he was healthy.

Having been out of the public eye for a long time, the people in the planting area knew Su Mo was pregnant and brought her goat’s milk to quell the smell and replenish her daily, even bringing her the rare delicacy of bird’s nest to nourish her health.

Su Mo was deeply touched and felt that all the kindness she had shown was right.

Day by day, the refugee camp was improving. Aside from the weather that was gradually turning worse, Jianxiong and Li He were also becoming closer, rarely leaving the clinic to go on missions, always sticking together and chatting.

Any discerning eye could see there was something between them.

However, no one teased them about being the same gender, and all the strange looks Li He could have imagined never appeared. He hadn’t made an official commitment with Jianxiong yet, but their two hearts attracted to each other were getting closer and closer.

In May, Su Mo’s belly had grown so much that she was nearly ready to give birth, and today, she received some insider news from Zhao Changsheng.

Jianxiong planned to host a grand and public confession known to everyone at night, finally having the sense to understand why Li He had always maintained that last bit of distance and hadn’t torn through that final layer. He mustered the courage and made this bold decision.

Without a doubt, Su Mo was happy for them. Excitedly gripping Lu Chen’s arm, she said she wanted to go see for herself, but her belly was already restricting her from walking far.

Lu Chen, unable to refuse her stubbornness, found a wheelchair, lifted her onto it and draped a thick bear coat over her before pushing her out the door.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Su Mo felt a bit like a disabled person, but touching the outside world still made her very happy.

Jianxiong spent good money at the canteen to bring a lot of food to the open space in the planting area, creating a small gathering that was lively and full of familiar faces.

After greeting everyone, Su Mo had Lu Chen push her to a corner and instructed him to fetch grilled sausages for her to eat.

When Li He arrived, it was already late, and the planting area was so lively he was a bit clueless.

By the time he realized what was happening, Jianxiong had already strode over, took his hand, and led him to the stage.

As Su Mo ate her grilled sausage, she seriously suspected he would present the whole traditional proposal routine meant for women.

Mainly because this set-up was so similar, Jianxiong was a straightforward man, and probably, the only good idea he could come up with was indeed this one.

Su Mo guessed correctly; Jianxiong copied the entire scene from when Su Mo had her wedding ceremony at the B City base. When he pulled Li He onto the stage, he was still a bit nervous, his whole body tense.

With so many eyes watching their intertwined hands, Li He’s face burned with embarrassment, angrily saying, “What are you doing! Let go!”

“Li He, be with me!”

Jianxiong just shouted out loud to him, “I don’t care about your gender, just agree and you’ll be my woman, I’ll treat you well!”
