"I went for the check-up," Tang Ruoqing said.
Su Nanxing asked, "How was it? Everything alright?"
Tang Ruoqing nodded: "All good. And also..."
Seeing her hesitate, Su Nanxing was curious, "What happened?"
"Director Zhang told me, it's a boy."
Director Zhang is the head of the Radiology Department at their hospital, about to retire, and usually doesn't conduct examinations anymore.
Tang Ruoqing said, "I wasn't planning to ask, but she insisted on telling me, it really annoyed me."
Su Nanxing laughed, "It's good to know in advance, so you can prepare the right clothes. Congratulations, you're having a son!"
Tang Ruoqing said, "After the check-up, she told me it's 'a little jacket', and that I should prepare myself mentally. Actually, I still hoped for 'a little cotton-padded jacket', like Xixi."
Su Nanxing said, "Maybe your 'little cotton-padded jacket' would end up being drafty. Besides, don't you want a boy to marry Xixi back into the Lu Family?"
