Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 761: Extremely shameless

"You mean to say that he is doing all right?" Bai Meiyue asked with a frown on her face. She had seen Lei Qian being attacked by the spy cameras earlier, before Yu Miaomiao died. That woman was determined to take Lei Qian down with her, and that wound—how can Lei Qian be fine after that?

"Of course, he is fine. Do you think that I will lie to you?" Bai Jixuan felt guilty about lying to Bai Meiyue, but Wan Guo Fu and Yang Chunhua were right. For Bai Meiyue and her child’s sake, he had to keep Lei Qian’s condition a secret or else who knows what might happen to Bai Meiyue? He didn’t dare to be the harbinger of the bad news to his sister. In case she took the news too seriously, and something happened to her child, he would never be able to forgive himself.

Bai Meiyue didn’t believe him naturally. She knew that her second brother was hiding something from her, but there was nothing she could do. She could only patiently wait for the bridge to finish before she could deal with the rest of the problems that were waiting for her. Sighing and silently seething, Bai Meiyue glared at her second brother, who guiltily touched his nose while she walked over to the couch, where she sat down.

And it was only when she sat down that she realised that her belly had started to tighten up. Feeling the tightness in her belly, Bai Meiyue couldn’t help but frown. Sensing her discomfort, Shen Zhen, who was sitting next to her, placed her hand on Bai Meiyue’s belly. She pressed it lightly and then placed two fingers on Bai Meiyue’s wrist before saying in a low voice, "Don’t worry. There is nothing to be worried about. Your stomach is just tight; it may be a normal contraction. Take a deep breath and calm down. And it will help you if you lie down; it’s not good to sit long in your condition."

"The child...is he coming?" Meng Suisui also heard Bai Meiyue groan in pain just now and came running in panic.

But Shen Zhen simply shook her head and said to Meng Suisui, "How can the baby come so soon? The ninth month has just started. Don’t talk nonsense; it will make Bai Meiyue feel flustered." She then turned to look at Bai Meiyue and said to her in a comforting voice, "Don’t worry, it’s just normal contractions. Every pregnant woman who is about to give birth upon entering the prenatal period will start feeling fake uterine contractions. Your body is preparing for the baby’s birth. Don’t think too much, Yueyue. You are in good health, and you will give birth to the baby when you are done with your full term. Don’t panic and don’t listen to anyone’s casual remarks. We are steady."

At this moment, Shen Zhen was no longer lost. She had finally regained her lost aura, which she ended up forgetting due to her own fears. Now she resembled a true obstetrician and gynaecologist. With the current situation, Shen Zhen had no other choice at hand. After all, they were in a chaotic situation, and Bai Meiyue’s safety, as well as her child’s, depended on her.

Bai Meiyue took a deep breath and nodded. She waited for the fake contractions to pass, and once her stomach was no longer tight, she let out a breath and smiled at Shen Zhen. She almost panicked just now when she heard Meng Suisui’s words; for a second, she thought that she was really going to give birth, but fortunately, she had Shen Zhen by her side.

Bai Meiyue thought about her past life, where she had to give birth and raise Xiao Cai in such a chaotic environment. Everyone told her that she should abandon her child and move on, but she didn’t. She was not scared to raise her child in that kind of life, but she was scared to give birth to him prematurely.

I need to tough it out; this is not the time for me to show any kind of weakness.

With that thought in her head, Bai Meiyue sighed and closed her eyes. If she wanted to finish the ice bridge, then she needed to make sure she got plenty of rest.

Bai Meiyue slept for more than four hours before she woke up and started to work on the ice bridge. At the same time, Bai Feng also sent her some crystal nuclei and she, in exchange, sent four ice cubes that should be enough for his team. She also looked at the oranges that Xiang Mei had left behind and knew that this was an apology from Xiang Mei. Though Bai Meiyue was not willing to forgive Xiang Mei, she didn’t want to waste her energy on someone who hadn’t done any harm to her and her child. She collected the oranges and was about to head back inside when —

"Yueyue!"

Bai Meiyue raised her head and saw Fox waving from the other side of the bridge.

Bai Meiyue: "..."

Was she squished between two annoying men? Why? Why was her luck this rotten? Was it not enough that she was in this condition, and she was already juggling between Bai Feng and Lei Qian? Why did the heavens have to throw in this brat as well?

"Fox?"

"It’s your precious Fox." Fox smiled at Bai Meiyue and said to her with a smile, "How are you doing? Having a good time?"

Bai Meiyue: "..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

She was utterly speechless. She closed her eyes and questioned, "Do you think that I am having a good time?"

"Well, I don’t think so." Fox looked like he understood her predicament. He then said to her, "Yueyue, I saw that you are willing to exchange supplies for crystal nuclei. Are you willing to exchange some food supplies with me?" He had an ability user who could produce water but he had no wood-type ability user, which left him in quite a predicament.
