Chapter 203: Chapter 202: Fairies Just Want to Absorb Yang Energy

"Mm~"

Ye Manman replied with a flushed face, discreetly turning her head slightly to the side.

He Chen’s eyes were dark as he leaned down to kiss her earlobe, speaking softly.

"Then we’ll go slow."

"Mm..."

Maybe because it hadn’t been like this for a long time, Ye Manman’s face quickly blushed as if it were the evening glow of summer.

He Chen was worried about any issues arising, so he was very careful, unlike the boldness of before.

After some tossing around, it was already dark outside, and both of them were covered in sweat. Ye Manman tried to hold onto him but slipped due to the thin layer of sweat on his arms.

Considerately, He Chen carried her to the bathroom, and after they both washed clean, he brought her to the dining table for dinner.

Unfortunately, the food had gone cold by then.

He Chen hastily reheated the chicken soup and dishes before they finally started eating.

Perhaps because she hadn’t eaten his cooking much recently, Ye Manman ate quite a lot today. After the meal, she looked down, realizing her lower belly was noticeably puffed up.

She pouted, "He Chen, am I getting fat? My belly wasn’t this big in the morning."

Ye Manman was very concerned about her body changing shape, always maintaining a balanced diet. Even though she was pregnant with a big appetite, she rarely overindulged; otherwise, she wouldn’t have maintained her figure so well.

But she was in such a good mood today that she couldn’t resist eating more, and the change in her belly size made her kind of break down.

He Chen had just finished washing the dishes when he heard this, and he walked over to rub her head.

"Where do you see any fat? Your waist feels like there’s almost no flesh. You’re nearly four months pregnant, and your belly is still so small. I’m worried the baby might drain you out. From now on, I’m cooking for you every day, and no picky eating, understood?"

Ye Manman pouted, "But what if I get really fat and you don’t like me anymore? If I gain weight, I might become really unattractive, possibly even get acne and a belly full of stretch marks. It’s scary."

"And even if you like me, I wouldn’t like to become so ugly."

She hadn’t given birth before, but she had seen plenty of educational videos online about how pregnancy and childbirth could cause irreversible damage to a woman.

Stretch marks were just a small issue. Many people also experience pelvic floor muscle relaxation, making it hard to walk without leaking urine. And if it’s a cesarean delivery, there could be a huge scar like a centipede on the belly, difficult to remove for a lifetime.

Ye Manman feared all of that. She loved beauty, couldn’t tolerate becoming ugly, and couldn’t accept her belly turning into a wrinkled skin after giving birth.

Just thinking about these things gave her goosebumps.

He Chen had read several books on caring for pregnant women and parenting, so he was aware of these issues, but Ye Manman was perhaps over-controlling her figure.

He couldn’t stop her from pursuing beauty and maintaining her figure, but he knew how to help her stay beautiful and live healthily with the baby inside her.

"Don’t worry, we’ll set a meal plan to ensure nutrition without leaving you hungry or gaining too much weight. I’ll make it for you every day, okay?"

He had thought about a pregnancy diet plan a while ago, but these past months had been too busy. She often had classes in the afternoon and had to eat at the cafeteria for lunch, so He Chen had temporarily put it on hold.

But now that things were more settled and he wasn’t moving anymore, he had plenty of time to prepare three meals a day for her.

Yet Ye Manman was a bit skeptical, "But what about your job?"

He Chen pinched her cheek, "Silly, of course, the work is arranged. Otherwise, what was I busy with before? Don’t worry, I won’t be that busy anymore. I’ll have plenty of time to take care of you."

Ye Manman’s eyes lit up in surprise.

"Really?"

He Chen nodded indulgently, "Really."

"Then can you pick me up from school every day from now on?"

"Mm-hmm, I’ll pick you up every day."

Ye Manman was so thrilled that she bent down to hug his face and showered him with kisses. If it weren’t for her belly, she would have jumped off the chair to have him hold her.

Initially, when school started, He Chen wanted to pick her up whenever she had evening classes, but Ye Manman only allowed him to do so twice before stopping him.

Back then, he was too busy, so exhausted that he was dozing off standing outside the classroom waiting for her, and it pained her.

Maybe it was because of this happy event, Ye Manman wasn’t tired at all tonight and was in high spirits.

He Chen sat at the desk, flipping through a few books about caring for pregnant women and parenting, and writing a pregnancy meal plan based on his understanding and existing conditions.

Ye Manman was originally practicing oral skills beside him, but soon her attention was drawn to the man seriously engrossed in writing.

She wasn’t someone who really focused on looks. Back in modern times, because of their family’s background, she had met countless handsome men of different styles, but someone like He Chen was indeed a first, and she fell right in.

Modern heartthrobs paid a lot of attention to clothing and grooming, and many even wore makeup. Society’s emphasis on slimness wasn’t just for girls; it applied to boys, too. Many boys dressed more beautifully than girls.

But as stunning as they looked, whether it was cute boys or alpha males, those appearances were results of camera angles or makeup styling; these people themselves weren’t enough to be described as handsome.

Let alone the rugged masculinity.

The handsome men she’d seen didn’t have anything to do with ruggedness; even the celebrities known for their physiques were slightly lacking.

There was no other reason.

They were trained specifically, lacking that rugged manly charm.

But He Chen, a genuine farmer by origin, was tall and sturdy, with every muscle shape left from years of labor.

At first sight, one might be daunted by his robust and rough physique, but living together revealed his numerous shining points. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Under the soft warm yellow light, watching He Chen attentively crafting a meal plan was like a fierce tiger delicately sniffing a rose, deeply engraved in Ye Manman’s heart.

Seeing it was getting late, she smiled and climbed out of bed, throwing her arms around his neck from behind and softly kissed his cheek.

"Darling, why don’t you finish the meal plan tomorrow?"

Ye Manman’s body was soft and fragrant.

Her summer pajamas were already light, and when she leaned in like that, speaking with such tender and gentle words, the tension in He Chen’s head snapped instantly.

The words he was about to put on the notebook vanished from his memory, his senses charging to his back all at once.

He took a deep breath, put down the pen, and turned to wrap her in his arms, his voice instantly deep and hoarse.

"Little enchantress, have you forgotten there’s a baby in your belly?"

How could He Chen possibly not want to touch her?

Every morning, he woke up with intense desire. Every night before sleeping, with her warmth in his arms, he resorted to reciting moral scriptures to desperately divert his attention until fatigue forced him to sleep.

But during pregnancy, even if they could, it shouldn’t be too frequent.

He hadn’t told her all this yet when Ye Manman lay in his embrace, held his neck, and gazed at him with a look full of affection.

"You see, you call me an enchantress, and enchantresses need to absorb male energy."

With that, she twisted a little more in his arms, and after sensing his heavy and fiery breathing, Ye Manman gave a mischievous smile.

"So if you’re not letting the enchantress absorb male energy, should she just go to sleep?"

By this point, He Chen couldn’t even think of letting go.

He leaned down to capture her chattering mouth and directly picked her up, taking two steps to the bed.

As their breaths intertwined, He Chen’s voice lingered in her ear.

Ye Manman heard him say, "It’s all yours, all my energy for you."
