  Ji Weixi thought that it was the pajamas she had bought some other day. She pulled it down a little before calling outside, “I’m done.”


  Li Shaoling pushed open the door and feigned some footsteps before coming to her.

  “Looks very nice.”


  In fact, so nice that he wanted to……

  On the other hand, Ji Weixi was not really glad with his praise.

  She actually felt that something was unusual, although she can’t quite put her finger on what it was.

  ***

  Li Shaoling later had Jiang Cong deliver some freshly cooked crayfish.

  He then explained when he saw Ji Weixi’s worried look, “Relax. Eating it once in a while is fine.”


  Meanwhile, the little one put on a pair of gloves. “Mommy, I’ll peel the crayfish for you!”


  However, he quickly changed his mind once Li Shaoling threw him a sharp look.

  “I think I’ll eat by myself instead…… Daddy will serve you, Mommy!”


  Ji Weixi tried to open her eyes, but painful tears would start to flow each time she did.

  “Open up.” Li Shaoling then said.

  Ji Weixi opened her mouth hesitantly, and soon tasted something spicy.

  “Is it good?”


  Biting her lip, Ji Weixi nodded. “Yeah.”


  It was her first-time being fed.

  She kept her eyes tightly closed, the rims around her eyes reddening while the trails of tears on her face dried off.

  Li Shaoling was very near to her. He did not hide his gaze as he watched her, his eyes reflecting a tender wildness.

  Even so, Ji Weixi knew nothing about that. In fact, her lips were now red and swollen as well from the spicy food.

  He really wanted to kiss those lips, but he held himself and started to peel off the shell from the next crayfish.

  The little one was very annoyed as he watched from a corner.

  What a wuss his Daddy was—he didn’t even dare to kiss Mommy.

  When would he get a sister?

  ***

  Ji Weixi’s eyes never opened for the whole night, even until she went to bed.

  She then became worried, realizing that she hadn’t heard her little one’s voice. “Where’s Jiayu?”


  Li Shaoling threw the boy a look just as he was about to leave.

  The little one quickly yawned, and said tiredly beside Ji Weixi, “Urgh…… Mommy, I’m so sleepy…… I’m going to bed, you don’t have to call me.”


  Ji Weixi breathed a sigh of relief and tousled his hair. “Goodnight, then.”


  After the lights were turned off, the little one tiptoed away from the room.

  After all, Daddy said that he and Mommy must not be disturbed, or his sister would be ugly! 1

  Meanwhile, Li Shaoling gently stroked Ji Weixi’s eye.

  “Does it still hurt?”


  She thought about it. “Not so much now.”


  Li Shaoling kissed her gently on the eyelid and said hoarsely, “Sleep.”


  ***

  The night was not a quiet one.

  Ji Weixi had a nightmare.

  She dreamt of having trouble at the birth bed four years ago.

  There, she was bleeding all around herself. It hurts so much she could die, and her nails were digging sharply into her own palm.

  The nurse breathed a sigh of relief then. “It’s out, it’s a boy!”


  Relieved, she watched as the midwife brought the infant to her and smile. “He looks like you.”


  However, Ji Weixi felt a chill go down her spine when she saw the baby.

  The blood-soaked infant was grinning. It was a look that would leave anyone in extreme fear—in fact, Ji Weixi herself was recoiling.

  Even so, the midwife was still shoving the baby into her arms.

  Ji Weixi then felt blood streaming all over her stomach.

  She was watching as the infant tear off every piece of her flesh—causing an agony that tunneled into the heart with each tear.

  She screamed wildly, and that was when the infant suddenly spoke most sinisterly.

  “Have you forgotten, Ji Weixi?”


  “Who was it who made you pregnant?”


  “Who was it who made you suffer all humiliation and abandonment?!”


  She abruptly opened her eyes, and woke up from her nightmare.

  Her heart was thumping and her breathing was rushed. Her eyes hurt a little as well, but she could open them now.

  The man beside her was asleep; he did not seem to notice that she was up.

  Ji Weixi gulped and set up, only to find that she was wearing a man’s shirt.

  Annoyed, she glared at Li Shaoling, and when she turned around, she realized that her little one wasn’t around.

  She quickly got off bed barefooted and opened the door to the next room.

  In the other room, the little one was in bed and sound asleep.

  Ji Weixi closed the door silently and went to the kitchen, pouring herself a glass of water and wiping off her sweat.

  She looked at the blinding moonlight, her heart faintly aching.

  It seems that she mustn’t keep Li Shaoling any longer.
