"Ouch! Little Guy kicked me."
In the hospital's waiting area, two women were anxiously awaiting their examination reports. Li Yanhong looked at her friend Yuan Liu Liu's belly and couldn't help but reach out to touch it. "You're already bullying your mom at such a young age; you must be a little rascal."
"Come on, stop trying to comfort me," the pregnant woman said with a hint of reproach in her eyes. She sighed, "Last time, Old Liu secretly found someone, and now this baby is another girl. Why is my belly so uncooperative?"
"What's wrong with having a girl? Without us girls, those men would have to give birth themselves!" Li Yanhong replied, trying to lighten the mood.
"Don't say that. You're still young; after this baby, if you take care of yourself and put in some effort, you can still..."
"Are you treating me like an old sow?" the pregnant woman playfully slapped her friend.
As they joked, they noticed two foreign women with long platinum hair, both heavily pregnant and happily munching on fruit. A Foreign Old Lady accompanied them, holding a box filled with more fruit.
"Hey, look at those two girls; they're really pretty! Just look at their height—no wonder they're called Dai Yang Ma. They're even taller than my Old Liu!" The pregnant woman nudged Li Yanhong with her shoulder and pointed to a trio of mothers and daughters sitting diagonally across from them.
Li Yanhong assessed the sisters' long legs and gasped, "Wow, look at how long their legs are! What do we have?"
The two close friends glanced down at their own legs and sighed, pulling their feet back under the chair. "No comparison means no hurt," they muttered.
As time passed while they waited for their reports, Xu Li entered the waiting area wearing tight-fitting clothes and white sneakers, carrying two heavy bags. He walked past Li Yanhong, who had just received her report.
Li Yanhong followed him with disbelief as she watched Xu Li place the bags on a nearby metal chair and squat down to massage one of the foreign girls' legs. His face looked somewhat awkward when he smiled, and his voice was no longer the bright tone she remembered; it was now low and hoarse. "I’m not lying; as long as you behave during the check-up, I’ll buy you delicious food."
Li Yanhong couldn’t understand his mumbling but saw his genuine affection and happiness. She decided against approaching him for a conversation and returned to sit beside her friend, handing over the report. "Everything looks normal."
"Do you know him?" The pregnant woman pointed at the tall young man.
Li Yanhong opened her mouth but ultimately nodded. "Ali; you've met him before."
"Ali?" She whispered loudly enough to attract attention in the relatively quiet hall. Xu Li turned around just in time to meet Li Yanhong's gaze before silently turning back to continue massaging Eva's calves. Being pregnant was tough; various symptoms tormented these two sisters daily.
Eva looked up at Xu Li as he massaged her legs and happily cupped his face with her hands. She planted a sweet kiss on his lips. "Misha, you're so nice!"
"Wait, if you're nice to them, who am I nice to?" Xu Li chuckled as he stepped aside slightly to open one of the bags and pulled out a ripe watermelon. The sisters beamed with joy as they hugged the box of fruit. Back in their rural hometown, they would only get one or two watermelons during summer visits from their brother and sister-in-law—nothing compared to what they had here.
"Mommy, you should eat too! I bought two!"
Natasha took the box containing the watermelon and slightly nodded towards the two ladies across from her. "Do you know them?"
He opened his mouth to take the watermelon Natasha offered, chewing silently. Seeing his reaction, Natasha guessed something and sighed, gently patting his head. "When you see elders, you need to greet them. It's the least a junior can do. Your mother's report should be out by now; I'll go get it."
