Her slender waist, soft as a willow branch, radiated warmth in his hands, seeping into his bones. Xiao Cheng's eyes deepened, a hidden surge restrained beneath his gaze. Lifting the blanket she let slip as she turned, he covered her shoulders with a gentle motion, stopping just an inch above her belly. His hand lingered at her waist, avoiding her belly, easing Bai Lu's nervousness. As long as he didn't touch the timed bomb that was her belly, everything was fine. The tension in her mind relaxed, nerves loosening simultaneously, listening to the long, steady breath behind her, she drifted into sleep. Next morning, in the quiet dawn, a faint tranquility bathed in the gentle morning light. Perhaps burdened by worries, every slight movement or sound made Bai Lu, with closed eyes, subconsciously murmur, "Did the baby agree... Did the baby agree or not..." "Mm." The man's low, lazy voice fell into her ears, light as a breeze, barely audible if not listened to carefully. "Mm, what..." Dissatisfied with the answer, Bai Lu pouted, her little face flushed under the blanket. A hand slipped under her waist, stopping a few inches away from her belly, just lightly encircling her. Not touching her belly. Bai Lu's nervousness gradually eased. As long as he didn't touch her belly, the timed bomb, everything was fine. So fine that even the tightly strung nerves relaxed, and she could fall asleep to the long, steady breath behind her. The next morning. All was silent; a gentle breeze rustled the willow branches as a faint, peaceful morning light crept through the window. Perhaps preoccupied with her thoughts, even the slightest sound made Bai Lu, with closed eyes, involuntarily ask, "Did the baby agree... Did the baby agree or not..." "Mm." The man's deep and languid voice dropped into her ears, so soft it was almost like a gentle breeze, barely audible unless you paid close attention. "Mm, what..." White Dew, dissatisfied with the answer, pursed her lips, her little face covered by the blanket turning rosy. A glimpse of a fair wrist emerged from under the sweater as her hand, grabbing the man's shirt at the chest, produced a sleepy, soft voice, tinged with a hint of coquetry, "Can't you... be clearer... always making people guess... hm... bullying me... haven't you been to school... let me tell you... I am... educated..." "But I am..." "What have you been educated in?" The man raised an eyebrow, curiously leaning in close to her lips, listening to her intermittent and soft responses. "I won't tell you..." She shook her head. "Unless... you tell me first, baby, did the baby agree..." Even in her dreams, she didn't forget to seek an answer. The man chuckled softly, lifting a finger to flick the strands of hair that fell onto her curled eyelashes, disturbing her as she furrowed her brow, refusing to open her eyes, and tucking them behind her ear. "Agreed." He whispered. "Really..." She seemed delighted, her eyelids fluttering open and closed, yet she still didn't want to open her eyes. With lips as tender as flower petals, she uttered a soft, cloud-like sound, "Mm... come closer..." "I'll tell you..." The man brought his ear closer to her mouth. The sweet and soft voice, accompanied by warm breath, slid past his ear like a distant phrase, causing him to absentmindedly freeze with surprise in his brows and eyes. The usually calm and steady depths of his eyes rippled, a shocked color that lingered for a long time without settling. ... When Bai Lu woke up, the spot beside her was already empty. As usual, she neatly folded the blanket. Putting on her shoes and walking out, she glanced up and saw a chestnut-colored chestnut on the wooden table by the window, sparkling in the sunlight like a discovered gold nugget. "Is this..." Did the big shot finally agree?!! Bai Lu vaguely remembered having a dream, asking Xiao Cheng if the baby agreed. Xiao Cheng said yes. It wasn't a dream; it was true! Bai Lu walked briskly to the table, just as she picked up the chestnut, she discovered a banknote beneath it. Denomination: One Hundred Yuan! Is this the red envelope the big shot gave as a welcome gift? Bai Lu held the fortune-filled red envelope in one hand, the golden chestnut in the other, smiling with sheer joy. After quickly getting ready, she stepped out of the door, humming a tune with a rosy glow on her face. Xiao Wei couldn't understand what she was singing, but it seemed to sound better than the grocery store owner Mrs. Li Shuixian. "How many chestnuts do you want to wash?" Hearing the voice, Bai Lu looked over to find Xiao Wei sitting on a small stool, washing chestnuts in a large basin. Beside him was a round, large winnowing basket with many washed chestnuts already in it, dripping water. In another large basin, filled with evenly sized sand, obviously, the sand had been sifted before being brought home. "Good morning, Xiao Wei!" "You're not going to school today? Did you pick these chestnuts? How did you know I needed chestnuts?" Xiao Wei was annoyed by her running around, "Can you walk properly?" She might accidentally fall later... and Big Brother would blame him again. "Alright, alright, I'll walk slowly from now on, no more running." Bai Lu touched his pot lid head. Xiao Wei: "..." Forget it, he won't say anything. Later, she might say she touched Big Brother's hand. "On weekends, there are two days. Today is Sunday, and Big Brother asked me to wash chestnuts. The sand was brought back in a bucket like this; I didn't pick it." Xiao Wei answered all the questions one by one, then said, "In the kitchen, Big Brother has just bought wontons. Eat them first before stir-frying the chestnuts. If there's anything you need help with, just tell me. If I can't do it, you can find Big Brother." Bai Lu was surprised, how did this little guy suddenly become so easy to talk to? Just thinking about giving him a head pat as a reward. He said, "It's all Big Brother's instructions." Bai Lu: "..." Okay, Big Brother is Big Brother! A glance speaks louder than a thousand words. He suddenly became so easy to talk to, did he actually communicate with Rice Ball last night? Bai Lu looked down at her flat belly, feeling a bit cold under her feet. She quickly went to the kitchen, ate more wontons, and stuffed Rice Ball back in. Otherwise, the filling might leak. After washing her face and eating wontons, full of energy, she washed all the things that needed washing. With Xiao Wei's help and the addition of maltose syrup, Bai Lu quickly cooked even more fragrant and sweeter chestnuts. When she went to the market to buy vegetables, she deliberately brought a basket with her, and Xiao Wei also helped with a small basket. Passing by the newly built house next door, a group of men shouted "Sister-in-law" from a distance. Bai Lu, as always, responded with an awkward yet polite smile, then had Xiao Wei take the small basket over and let each of them try some sugar-fried chestnuts. As for Xiao Cheng's portion, Bai Lu naturally personally delivered it, her face's smile especially sweet. Even Wang Cuihua, who was pouring tea, froze in place holding a cup of chrysanthemum tea, and stared. The weather had been dry lately, and today the sun was out. She specifically brewed a detoxifying chrysanthemum tea. To give it to Big Brother... and everyone. Just as she finished pouring a cup for each person, a group of people affectionately called her sister-in-law. Bai Lu still brought some chestnuts for them to try. Everyone praised the chestnuts she made as delicious, even Xiao Cheng smiled unusually. Everyone surrounded Bai Lu calling her sister-in-law. Praising Bai Lu's sugar-fried chestnuts as delicious, no one complimented the chrysanthemum tea, leaving Wang Cuihua sad and angry.
