Chapter 1547

~8 min read 1,484 words

That thick yellow bolt of lightning was naturally Zhou Qibao!

But, she was still pregnant with a round belly!

Let alone Chen Xi, the security guard's heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Heaven is my witness, he really didn't throw this toy in front of the treasures—he was standing at the entrance, and Zhou Qibao had even already obediently gone up the stairs!

How could she have just rushed down the stairs and jumped up like that!

At this moment, the two of them rushed forward:

"Zhou Qibao!"

Chen Xi was ready to knock her on the head, but when he saw her happily carrying the chew toy, her tail wagging, and her belly round...

In the end, he just pressed his heart, which was still reeling from the shock, and tugged at her ears: "Go, go, go, you're the first one to get checked! Being so disobedient and daring to take risks while pregnant, I'll definitely have to give you a shot today!"

Zhou Qibao instantly drooped her ears, looking dejected, walking with a stagger and panting with every step, as if she were carrying not fetuses, but a thousand-pound weight.

The patient families in the lobby who were also watching:...

They didn't believe it! They really didn't believe it! When this dog rushed out just now, no one had reacted! Now that you say her legs are trembling on the stairs, who would believe that?

Only the family member who had asked about the little local dog earlier rushed out: "Has this big yellow dog's been reserved too?"

Chen Xi lifted his chin: "With the energy she just showed, you wouldn't believe it if it hadn't been reserved, right?"

The family member looked at their own Labrador, who couldn't walk because it was too fat, and couldn't help but feel the desolation of "other people's children."

But Chen Xi couldn't care about him anymore; he took a few large strides to catch up to the stairs, and then reached out directly in front of Zhou Qibao: "Open your mouth."

Zhou Qibao whimpered and took a step back, her eyes filled with tears.

The doctor even advised: "Why don't we forget it? She was just impulsive for a moment; she's usually quite steady."

Zhou Qibao then wagged her tail frantically, but Chen Xi remained unmoved, still maintaining his outstretched hand.

The security guard also advised: "This is my fault too. Chasing things has become an instinct for them now; I didn't avoid them when I threw it away secretly."

Zhou Qibao whimpered.

Chen Xi still held out his hand: "Give it to me."

The doctor couldn't hold back anymore: "This must have been taught by those two Border Collies! They were jumping around and playing mind games when they came for their checkup last time, making us run around in circles outside while they hid in the room..."

In short, no matter what went wrong, how could it possibly be Zhou Qibao's fault?

The doctor looked at Chen Xi, who remained unmoved, and couldn't help but scold him: "How can you have the heart to do this?!"

But as soon as the words left his mouth, Zhou Qibao had already obediently taken a step forward, then lowered her head and gently placed the chew toy in Chen Xi's palm.

She whimpered, looking exceptionally pitiful.

The chew toy was actually covered in saliva, but Chen Xi just shoved it into his pocket right in front of everyone: "You were disobedient, so you're forbidden from playing with it for the whole day today."

Then he hurriedly turned his head: "Take her for the checkup."

He wasn't made of stone; he couldn't take it if he kept watching.

Turning his head to look at the colorful toys hanging on the wall of the first floor, he felt tempted too.

Upstairs.

The doctor, while laying out the disinfectant cloth, sighed:

"Of all these pet dogs, yours are the most obedient; they all lie down obediently when it's time for a checkup."

Not only that, they take their medicine when told, don't hide even when whimpering during shots, and don't move when being shaved—

In contrast, in the next examination room, there was chaos, dogs biting people, barking, and everything crashing...

Forget it.

The doctor lowered his head and gently shaved Zhou Qibao's belly, thinking that he was the lucky one.

Shaving, applying gel—it was a bit cold, and Zhou Qibao's belly twitched slightly. The security guard opened his mouth to the side, but in the end, didn't say anything.

Until the probe had circled a few times, the doctor said happily: "Oh my! There are five puppies! They look quite sturdy."

Generally, in one womb, there are strong ones and weak ones, but now, judging from the image, their sizes were all quite uniform. The doctor clicked his tongue:

"You guys are the only ones who don't sell these dogs; otherwise, even though they are local dogs, some people would pay five thousand for one."

Chen Xi laughed: "I also think they are raised well."

What good things do they eat every day! When he made those doggy steamed buns, he couldn't even help but secretly taste a few bites himself!

Alas! All willpower and dignity were gone.

In short, the checkup results came out: Zhou Qibao had five puppies, Sanbao had six, and Princess had four.

Except for one in Sanbao's belly that looked slightly smaller, the others were all very healthy!

The doctor prepared all the necessary items and urged them: "The due date is probably in about a week. If you can't handle it then, just call me directly—if you need me to go over, I'll drive over; if you need to come to the hospital, I'll be here waiting."

Chen Xi nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After all, it was their first time delivering puppies, and they didn't know if it would go smoothly. The skills he had learned could only be applied if everything went well—

But the pet hospital was too far away; he should call Doctor Xiao Guo when the time comes!

He heard that she had taken her family's orange cats to get neutered one after another; since she knew how to perform sterilization, she should be very knowledgeable about delivering babies, right?

But in reality, Doctor Xiao Guo was currently also facing the troubles of pregnancy care.

"... She's already forty-five, is that okay?"

The person on the phone was a loyal customer of Doctor Xiao Guo.

Previously, his wife had been physically weak and was accustomed to using traditional Chinese medicine to regulate her body. Later, he discovered that Doctor Xiao Guo's prices were cheap and the medicine was very mild, so he liked to have his mother and wife regulate their bodies there.

Later, after Doctor Xiao Guo came to Yunqiao Village, she evolved, and the nourishing pills she produced were suitable for both men and women, and everyone who ate them said they were good.

Now, nearly a year later, the pills that others had to scramble to buy had never been out of stock for him.

Now, his wife was pregnant at an advanced age.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't happy; his whole family was looking forward to it, especially since he and his wife had never had children.

Now he was 46 and his wife was 45; the age was a bit high, but not that high, and most importantly, the family had money.

Calling Doctor Xiao Guo today, besides sharing the good news, was also to ask if she had anything for pregnancy maintenance and care.

Doctor Xiao Guo was helpless: "Haven't you two been able to do aerobic exercise for an hour or two before? This physical fitness is already very strong."

There are many older pregnant women now; although giving birth in one's forties is very late, it's not to the point where the hospital has no confidence, and the family's desire for a child is strong...

There's really no reason not to give birth.

But this expectant father was perhaps a bit too nervous.

She therefore emphasized once again: "Pregnant women don't lack anything; if she doesn't feel uncomfortable anywhere and the doctor doesn't have any extra suggestions, don't take any medicine."

"Every medicine has its side effects. The essence of medicine is to treat illness, and traditional Chinese medicine regulation is also a way to treat diseases before they manifest."

"You two should just be at ease, get regular checkups, sleep well, and don't drink those tonics or pregnancy-care medicines unless the doctor suggests it."

She felt she had explained it very thoroughly, but the other party was even more convinced:

"Yes. So, Guo Yi, aren't you a doctor too? Your medical skills are also exceptionally brilliant, so what do you suggest I drink?"

Doctor Xiao Guo gradually became expressionless: "Boiled water."
