Wen Shi, who had been pushed away, sighed, "Before you got pregnant, you wanted me to hold you while sleeping. Now that you're pregnant, you think I stink and blame me for being too warm. Women, your name is fickle."
He sang and performed with a pitiful expression.
Yi Chichi found it amusing, "I haven't even made you sleep in another room; you should be grateful, you know that?"
"I know, I know. You should hurry up and sleep." Worried that she might make him sleep in another room, Wen Shi dared not tease her further. Fearing being alone without her, he quickly hugged her and patted her to sleep.
As it turned out, though he was lulling her to sleep, he ended up falling asleep himself.
Yi Chichi found it funny and helpless. Perhaps sensing her good mood, the baby in her belly became active again. She soothed her stomach and closed her eyes to rest.
At dawn, she got a leg cramp, and Wen Shi woke up with a start, speaking in a hoarse voice, "Is your leg hurting again?"
"Mm."
