Warmth

Is…is it moving??

 Tan Tu held his hands stiffly and felt as if he had been kicked twice on his palm. Although it was a bit light for him, it was actually very powerful…

 What is this…

 Tan Tu turned to Su Ce for help, with an indescribable and wonderful look on his face.

 It was like a combination of joy and surprise, but also seemed to be frightened.

 When Su Ce saw his appearance, his eyes suddenly softened.

 It was very cute, it reminded him of the time when the two of them first met.

 At that time, Tan Tu and he were always at odds with each other, and their thoughts were not on the same track. But just like this, he gradually accepted Tan Tu, and even gained a peace of mind from him that he had never had before. I feel that after getting married, this guy seemed to have matured a little bit – or maybe it was just a change in mentality. He was much less silly than before.

 But now it seems that he misses it very much.

 Tan Tu was too nervous to notice Su Ce’s thoughts. He just went from stiffness in his hands to stiffness all over his body, and then helplessly waited for his Ah Ce’s rescue.

 Speaking of which, Ah Ce, what should I do now…

 Su Ce came back to his senses and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

 “Tan Tu, it’s still moving.”

 It’s just that the child has grown older, so he is showing his presence. There is no need for him to feel like he is facing a formidable enemy.

 Tan Tu was stunned.

 “The child…is moving?”

 The smile on Su Ce’s lips narrowed a little, but the space between his brows relaxed. He nodded: “Yes.”

 The expression on Tan Tu’s face turned into pure joy.

 The child is moving… the child is moving!

 Tan Tu took a deep breath and finally relaxed slowly.

 Su Ce could feel that his hands were no longer so stiff.

 Tan Tu blinked: “Ah Ce, can I… touch it?”

 Su Ce nodded: “Yes.”

 Tan Tu raised his head cautiously: “Then…I touched it?”

 Su Ce smiled and nodded again: “Okay.” He released his hand holding Tan Tu’s hand.

 So Tan Tu gently touched it with his fingers, and then touched it again.

 Finally, after finding that Su Ce’s expression was still very natural and without any discomfort, he finally put his whole palm up again… This time, he didn’t let Su Ce help.

The child in Su Ce’s belly seemed to be responding, and when Tan Tu touched it, he came several times… The sense of presence was very strong.

 Tan Tu thought for a moment and said, “It’s probably a male cub.”

 This was the first time Su Ce had experienced something like this, and he didn’t know what his specific reaction would be.  But he suddenly remembered the questions that some pregnant women would ask on earth in the past… He looked at the big man next to him and asked: “Tan Tu, do you prefer male cubs or female ones?”

 Tan Tu said: “As long as it’s my and Ah Ce’s child, no matter what it looks like, it’s fine.” Then he hesitated again, as if he was hesitant to speak.

 Su Ce was a little interested, wondering what kind of issues this guy was thinking about.

 Then, Tan Tu continued: “The male cubs are okay, but the female ones are difficult to feed. We have to be more careful…”

 Su Ce looked sideways at him and asked softly, “Don’t you like female cubs?”

 Tan Tu frowned: “It’s not that I don’t like it…”

 “That is?” Su Ce was very patient.

 Tan Tu scratched his hair: “…I will be scared.”

 Being pregnant with a child is such a difficult thing to accept. Once you really accept it, your heart will be full of warmth.  But Tan Tu’s words cast a shadow over this tenderness.

 It is difficult for the cubs to survive… How normal is it in such a primitive place.

 Even though Su Ce has seen the “funeral” here, he has never seen real death with his own eyes.

 Not to mention, contact yourself.

 The resources for survival are not unlimited. Male cubs grow faster, can feed themselves earlier, and their physical fitness is far better than that of females.  The female is delicate and young. Even if she is taken care of very carefully, it is easy for her to survive a serious illness or something… If, if, she finally gives birth to her and Tan Tu’s child, let the child become the bond of the family.  , but lost it later…how painful that would be!

 But it’s okay…

 At present, this tribe is very peaceful, and the tribe is large and rich in resources.

 If you join a small and poor tribe, I’m afraid life will become painful… And even in this large tribe, no one can guarantee that they can successfully care for every cub to grow up…

 But, I will try my best.

 Su Ce thought this.  No matter what, we will do our best to ensure that all children can survive healthily.

 Su Ce sighed softly.

 Being a parent is the first time for Tan Tu and me.

 It’s natural to be nervous and scared.

 Su Ce said to Tan Tu, “Do you want to listen?”

 Tan Tu raised his head: “Listen?”

 Su Ce smiled: “Yes.” He touched his bulging belly with his hand, “Put your head here and listen.”

 Tan Tu hesitated, but when he saw Su Ce’s encouraging gaze, he couldn’t help but stick to it.

 Place your ear against the original position of your palm, being gentle so as not to press against his Ah Ce.

 There is a sound…

 It’s like the pulsation of flesh and blood, so full of vitality!

 Tan Tu’s expression was a little overwhelmed, but more peaceful.

 Su Ce put his hands into Tan Tu’s long golden hair and rubbed it with some strength: “Tan Tu, don’t be afraid.”

Tan Tu’s eyes were half-closed. He had been enjoying Su Ce’s touch.  Especially when I heard the plain but always serious voice of his Ah Ce, I felt a sense of satiety rising from my heart, filling my whole body with warmth.

 Su Ce continued: “I will help you.”

 “After the children are born, whether they are female or male, we can take care of them together.”

 “If they are males, let these naughty boys run around. When they are a little older, you will teach them how to hunt, and I will teach them the principles of life…”

 “And if it’s a female…”

 “We will hold them in the palm of our hands. I will teach them to do housework and learn survival skills. You will bring them delicious fruits from the mountains so that they can grow up happily…”

 Su Ce’s voice gradually became softer, as if he himself had fallen into a beautiful dream.

 Tan Tu’s eyelids also drooped. When he closed his eyes, it was as if he had really seen one day in the future. He and Ah Ce… no, there was also the family formed by their children.

 Each of their children will grow up healthily, and then they will watch their children get married…

 Then…then Tan Tu fell asleep.

 A slight snore came from his nose, eliciting a shallow and gentle smile from Su Ce.

 Tan Tu, this guy, has not only had to take care of himself recently, but also hunted… He must be very tired.  And he is always worried. Every time he goes out, he has to invite Maura or other females to accompany him, which must be quite stressful mentally.

 Even though he never said it, Su Ce knew it very well.

 Tan Tu was very, very worried about him.

 So his response can only be… No matter how embarrassing it feels for a man to be cared for like fragile glass, he will let Tan Tu be overly protected and cherished in order to make Tan Tu feel at ease.  .

 When I think that this is the expression of my partner’s uneasiness and the feelings that I cherish wholeheartedly, in fact… it may not really be that embarrassing.

 Throughout the afternoon, Tan Tu fell asleep leaning on Su Ce’s legs.  I don’t know if I still remember Su Ce’s strange body in my sleep. The thing that was originally placed on Su Ce’s belly before falling asleep slipped down to his legs the moment he fell asleep.

 After that, Tan Tu knew nothing.

 Su Ce carefully raked and combed Tan Tu’s blond hair. Some of the outside light filtered in through the door and fell on his hair, as if there were fragments of sunlight dancing.  Very warm and very peaceful.

 Later, when he saw Tan Tu’s peaceful sleeping face and heard his gentle breathing, Su Ce felt increasingly sleepy.

 After a while, he closed his eyes, put one hand on his future child, and held Tan Tu’s head softly with the other hand… So, this was a family.

 After taking a nap, Tan Tu became more energetic.  He completed the dinner preparations and taking care of Ah Ce in the evening with great energy.  After nightfall, he transformed into a huge golden lion, gently encircling Su Ce between his body.

 This will be warmer and softer…

 Su Ce slept peacefully and comfortably that night.

 It was as if something unusually warm had entered his dream, making him feel as if he was surrounded by many huge pillows and became lazy.

 …Until he was awakened by a loud noise the next morning.
