The time was around four am. Yuan sat at the living room in their main house. It was yesterday that they all had returned from the hospital.
His wife went back to their house while he stayed the night here.
As someone who was used to waking up early while at the guild, he couldn't sleep anymore.
Their main house had five bedrooms. One was his, one was for his brother, their parents shared the biggest one and the last two were for guests.
The servants lived in the smaller building at the other side of the house.
Yesterday after dinner, everyone had retired for bed. He slept in his room that he has been using since before he got married.
Muchen and his parents also slept at their respective rooms while the new may was made to use one of the guestrooms.
He sat there for sometime before he saw the may coming out of the guestroom.
"Good morning." Yun Lui greeted him
"Good morning. How was your night?", Chi Yuan asked.
"It's okay, I guess. How about you, how was yours?"
"Hmm. I can't complain. I just want to get back to work."
"Why, is there anything preventing you from doing that?"
Chi Yuan tsked and said, "more like someone."
"Who? You don't look like one that can be forced to yield to anyone?"
Chi Yuan laughed at his deduction. "It's my mother. I cannot leave here unless she allows it. She still thinks that I should rest more. Hence why she made me come here instead of going home with my moon yesterday."
"Okay.", Yun Lui said in understanding. Yesterday, the family had all introduced themselves to him so he knows who was whom and the dynamics of their relationships.
Nurse Yu Ran didn't stay for long. She left after seeing that Yun Lui was fitting in with them well. She promised to come and check on him from time to time.
Yun Lui was really grateful for the people he found himself surrounded with since waking up. They were all lovely people. His mind was in disarray yet they made him feel like a part of them.
He didn't know when he had drifted off to sleep again on the mat he sat on as a seat in the living room.
Chi Yuan saw that he has fallen asleep. He got up, went into his own room, grabbed a piece of cloth and came back to cover Yun Lui up and he went back into his room.
Soon the rest of the family woke up. Chi Yuan saw that Yun Lui was still sleeping at the living room. He had expected his mother to wake him up but rather, she forbade anyone to disturb his sleep.
Since everyone of them was about to go on their daily routines, there will be lots of movement in the living room as people will move to and fro around the house.
She therefore asked Muchen to gently and quietly carry Yun Lui into the guestroom which he will be occupying as his from now on.
Muchen successfully managed to do that. He put the may on the bed and pulled a blanket over him. He tucked him in and left to resume his daily routines.
Mama Chi was in the kitchen with the help of a servant, preparing for breakfast. Today, she has added some additional things that are known to be good for pregnancy.
As they were almost done preparing the foods, she left and woke Yun Lui up. Though he was still feeling sleepy, she made him go and wash up.
Yun Lui was done and the meals been arranged on the dining table. Mama Chi made him sit down at the table before she left to call the rest of the family for breakfast.
After all were seated, Mama Chi got up to open the covers of the side dishes while Muchen served everyone a bowl of boiled rice.
Yun Lui felt nauseated as soon as she opened a bowl of kimchi stew. He didn't want to be rude so he held it in. He told himself that all he had to do was to make sure to avoid that, maybe his past self did not like it?
He was doing great with that until Mama Chi opened a plate of roasted salmons. A loud burp was heard as Yun Lui rushed out before the threatening vomit lands on the foods on the dining table.
Mama Chi went to his side at the washroom. She rubbed his back as he emptied out all the contents in his stomach.
Mama Chi has a suspicion that Yun Lui may not be aware of his pregnancy. The reason being that the physician has confirmed that he was only about six weeks pregnant. Pregnancies are hardly detected in a may until their first five weeks.
Considering that he has spent about three of those six weeks of his pregnancy at the clinic, mostly unconscious, there's a high chance that he hasn't been informed yet.
Or have not noticed enough symptoms to conclude on that. She has to thread carefully as there was a high chance that she might be the first person to be disclosing this new information to him.
Any bad reaction from him could affect the baby or babies. Well yes, babies probably. Since it was still in its early stages, the physician can only assume for now.
"It's okay. Don't be scared. It's nothing strange.", Mama Chi said as she brought him a cup of water to rinse the vomit out of his mouth.
She poured some water on the vomit in the washroom to wash it away. Yun Lui stood at entrance and watched.
"Really? Is it really normal for someone to vomit at the sight of some foods?", he asked hoping it was so and not that thought at the back of his mind, that this may be a side effect of the accident he had.
His innocent question affirmed her theory. Sighed. "Come with me. Let's go into the living room.", Mama Chi said. She held his hand and pulled him along as they went into the living room.
