Campus Ace Girl

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Chu Ci narrowed his eyes and stared at her, his gaze dark and unclear.

She wisely chose not to say anything further, walked alongside him, and after just a moment, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist. Chu Ci insisted on holding her as they walked. She felt it was unnecessary, as their relationship didn’t need such pretentiousness in front of others.

Yes, pretentiousness! But she didn’t have the nerve to tell him that; she only wondered what was up with him today.

Soon they arrived at the maternity store she had mentioned. Chu Ci wasn’t very knowledgeable about baby products since it was his first time becoming a father. However, after glancing at the prices, he realized this store wasn’t the most expensive and was quite cost-effective. This discovery made him look at her again, but Zhao Mo Ran didn’t notice. Since they were there, she naturally began selecting items...

He watched as she picked items meticulously, first checking the style to her satisfaction and not glancing at the price. In about ten minutes, she had chosen two sets of pink baby hooded pajamas. They were so adorable that even Chu Ci, who thought of himself as cold-hearted, felt his heart soften, with an indescribable feeling, as if a soft, pink little baby had been born, nestled in his arms, pink and plump, with two rows of tiny teeth showing when it smiled.

At that moment, Chu Ci became fixated on the idea of having a baby girl, never considering the possibility of a baby boy. Whenever the thought crossed his mind, he frowned.

He picked up two sets of cotton underwear, moved closer to Zhao Mo Ran, and asked her, "How about these two sets? They look quite cute."

Zhao Mo Ran was somewhat surprised. She thought he was just accompanying her to shop, likely sitting on the sofa sipping tea, leaving all the decisions to her. She didn’t expect him to personally pick out items.

She looked at him, then glanced down at the items in his hands before slowly saying, "The baby will be born during the summer."

"Can’t they be worn in the autumn and winter?" Chu Ci was unwilling to let go, thinking these two sets looked perfect for his beautiful, adorable daughter.

Zhao Mo Ran was speechless again, "Babies grow quickly."

"Oh," he said regretfully, placing the items back, then glanced at the things she picked out, and uneasily asked, "It’s a baby girl, right?"

Zhao Mo Ran continued selecting items, without lifting her head, "We don’t know yet."

This time, Chu Ci was somewhat surprised: "You haven’t checked?"

Zhao Mo Ran lifted her head, "No."

Chu Ci emphasized, "Then why are you buying all girl’s stuff?"

"I hope it’s a girl in my heart, is that strange?" She was somewhat puzzled by his sudden temper and thought he was being unreasonable by continuously finding fault with her.

Chu Ci continued to press: "Since you don’t know, you should prepare for both, so there won’t be anything lacking when the time comes."

She lowered her eyes and said, "With your capabilities, you won’t have any trouble handling it."

His voice was icy, "You don’t like boys, do you?"

"You don’t either," Zhao Mo Ran said a bit wearily, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You probably want to take me to the hospital for a checkup right now."

He pressed his lips tightly, silenced by her retort.

Zhao Mo Ran’s mood was affected, and naturally, when picking out baby clothes again, her mindset had changed. It wasn’t that she liked only baby girls and disliked boys but rather, she had a premonition that this child would be well-behaved, likely to be a girl, and this feeling she wouldn’t share with him.
