Chapter 208: Chapter 207: Such a Big Guy with Such a Thoughtful Heart

Ye Manman went to class, while He Chen went to the classroom office building. He first checked the guide maps of each office of the various colleges and soon found the office of the Foreign Languages Department.

This class wasn’t Chen Yuqing’s. She was in the office organizing materials when she saw He Chen knocking at the door. She immediately recognized him and invited him to sit down.

There were also two or three other teachers in the office, who, with no class at the moment, watched him curiously. However, He Chen didn’t feel uncomfortable at all and naturally sat on the sofa to Chen Yuqing’s right, next to her.

"Mrs. Chen, I’m Ye Manman’s husband. I’m truly sorry to disturb you during work hours. I came this time mainly to ask if the school’s cafeteria could offer some special considerations for her, given her special circumstance of being pregnant?"

"She’s nearly four months pregnant now. I’m usually quite busy with work and can’t prepare three meals a day for her, but since she’s expecting, her nutrition must be taken care of. To ensure a balanced diet, I wrote her a pregnancy meal plan. I wonder if there’s a cafeteria window that can accommodate such a personal menu?"

He got straight to the point without any delay. Chen Yuqing, after listening, wasn’t unwilling to agree but rather had some confusion.

"Why a pregnancy meal plan? Our school has so many cafeterias; you can buy whatever you want to eat. Does she not like anything?"

She had also paid attention to Ye Manman—a girl with such outstanding results that they were unreal, and with a figure so slender that she often forgot she was a married pregnant woman.

If He Chen hadn’t mentioned it today, she almost forgot Ye Manman was pregnant.

"The child is indeed a bit too thin; is she usually a picky eater?"

He Chen shook his head, "No, I’m mainly worried about her squeezing in with others. Later, her belly will get bigger, and certainly, there’ll be more inconveniences. Going to a separate window would be safer, and I hope her diet can be balanced so she doesn’t end up eating too much or too little of any one thing every day."

When he mentioned Ye Manman, tenderness appeared on his face.

"She’s quite vain and afraid of gaining weight, so she’s always hesitant to eat too much or carelessly. Considering multiple factors, I made her a meal plan to ensure she doesn’t gain weight but still gets enough nutrition."

"To excel in her studies, she first needs to have a healthy body. I’m really worried that in trying to maintain her figure, she might not get the nutrition she needs, leading to health issues."

"So I hope the school can offer some support—perhaps set up a small window. There’s no need for the school to fund it; I can find a cook myself, and I can regularly pay for other expenses related to this."

He had considered all aspects thoroughly, even planning to hire a chef himself.

Chen Yuqing had carefully observed the relationship between Ye Manman and He when she first visited the countryside. She had already seen that Ye’s husband truly cared for her, and now, even more so.

In recent years, she had seen pregnant students; most of the students admitted were society entrants, many of whom were married and had children. Naturally, there were several pregnant ones, but such a considerate man like him was a first.

He Chen appeared tough and rugged, with long limbs, yet was unexpectedly meticulous, even devising a pregnancy menu.

Chen Yuqing couldn’t help but smile, "Comrade, don’t worry. This matter is quite solvable—a small private kitchen is all it takes. I can help you contact the school to handle it and find you a skilled cook. But have you had the pregnancy menu reviewed by a doctor? Are you sure it’s okay to follow your written plan?"

She wasn’t looking down on He for being a countryside man who might not understand these things; her concern was purely a reasonable one.

After all, it wasn’t a regular menu, but one specifically for expectant mothers. If issues arise, it would be uncertain what the repercussions could be. Therefore, it was a valid concern.

He Chen was taken aback, "This menu was created according to the previous doctor’s advice and from pregnancy care manuals I’ve read. It hasn’t been reviewed by a doctor yet."

With Chen Yuqing’s inquiry, He Chen suddenly realized his actions might have been impulsive—too centered on his own thinking, neglecting to verify the menu’s feasibility.

"Then I’ll first show it to a doctor and come back once they’ve confirmed it’s okay."

He stood up, ready to leave at once.

Chen Yuqing quickly called after him, "Comrade, don’t be in such a rush. You can ask about the menu later. I have a lot of classes, and you might not find me in the office if you come back later."

Upon hearing this, He Chen instantly stopped in his tracks.

Chen Yuqing continued, "I’ll inform the vice-principal about this matter. He directly handles the cafeteria, so once the menu is confirmed usable, just go to the vice-principal directly. Mention my name or Ye Manman’s, and it’ll be taken care of."

"And since the school said it would cover all of Ye’s expenses, of course, you don’t have to pay. Just provide the menu."

She waved a hand, smiling at the somewhat anxious He, "Go inquire with the doctor first."

A genius like Ye Manman, unparalleled in a century, was a primary focus of the entire school. Her matters were the school’s matters. Chen Yuqing didn’t even need to think about it; the school would undoubtedly go all out to resolve such a minor issue for Ye Manman.

He Chen was a bit surprised but soon calmed down.

"Then I’ll trouble Mrs. Chen to inform the vice-principal. I’ll head to the hospital first and return to the school as soon as I get the results."

After he left, the office was silent for a while.

The other teachers with no classes at the moment looked at Chen Yuqing in surprise.

"Mrs. Chen, was the gentleman just now Ye Manman’s husband from our class? Such a tall guy, I think he’s at least 1.9 meters tall, right?"

"It’s enough that Ye has good grades and good looks; who knew her husband is also so handsome? His clothes seem of good quality. Is their family in business?"

"In these times, it’s rare to see such a considerate husband. He’s huge yet so meticulous—with even a special pregnancy menu!"

Several teachers expressed their amazement, and Chen Yuqing genuinely felt a bit envious.

She was already in her mid-thirties, with a ten-year-old child. Although her husband had always been caring, he hadn’t been as meticulous as He was. During her pregnancy, she still had to cook for herself.

"One could only say times are progressing, and the thoughts of young men are advancing. It’s a good thing; we can’t help but feel envious, hahaha."

"I’ll go have a word with the vice-principal."

She left the office with a smile, while the other teachers continued to marvel for quite a while before gradually falling silent.

Upon leaving the school, He Chen headed straight to the hospital, seeking the female doctor who had previously checked Ye Manman. After altering a few unreasonable parts with the doctor’s help, the pregnancy meal plan was finally perfected.

However, when he returned to the school and followed the directions to the vice-principal’s office, he found no one there.

After waiting outside the office for a while without any result, He Chen, recalling Chen Yuqing’s previously helpful attitude and thinking this matter shouldn’t be hard, he decided to head to the principal’s office instead.

When he reached the principal’s office door, intending to knock first, he noticed several people inside.

Realizing others were discussing matters, he refrained from interrupting, but the problem was that he clearly heard someone mention Ye Manman’s name. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

With doubts in mind, He Chen chose to stand outside the door and observe first.

At that moment, a robust voice inside was heard saying.

"How about we call Manman over now? The child has suffered too much over the years living with a father like that."

"It’s not good to keep her in the dark about this matter. Anyway, the Ye Family’s situation is all figured out now, and you all have to acknowledge her eventually."
