Qi Yanxi: … Was that supposed to be an insult of his English proficiency? He had lived abroad for seven years, alright?!

Sheng Yize couldn’t bear to listen anymore . He snatched the phone away from An Xiaxia and explained to Qi Yanxi, who was on the other side of the video call, “She’s drunk . ”
Qi Yanxi looked like he saw his savior . “Ah! Blacky! You’re finally here!”
Heaven knew what he had gone through just then…
He wanted to delete that completely from his memory…
He hung up immediately, utterly relieved .
Sheng Yize shook his head . Turning his gaze to An Xiaxia, he suddenly felt like teasing her a little . “Now, say you’re a pig . ”
An Xiaxia tilted her head and giggled . “You’re a pig . ”
“…” Sheng Yize was speechless . “YOU are a pig!”
“No, you are . ” An Xiaxia pouted . “I’m not!”
Why, she had learned .

Sheng Yize thought he ought to appraise his wife in a whole new light .
An Xiaxia rearranged the towel on her head and said jovially, “I’m a mushroom!”
Thump —
Sheng Yize lost his balance and nearly fell to the floor . He stared at An Xiaxia in disbelief .
An Xiaxia blinked . “You didn’t know? Hoho!”
… Should he have known?!
This little dummy!
“In that case, what am I?” Sheng Yize retorted .
“You’re a pig, of course!” An Xiaxia said matter-of-factly .
Sheng Yize felt like he had just shot himself in the foot .

“Teehee…”
Sheng Yize gave her a mesmerizing smile, then ripped the towel off her head . “Little mushroom, come here and let’s make some piglets!”
“Huh? Can a mushroom make piglets?”
“Yes . ”
“Really?”
“We just have to try a few more times,” said Sheng Yize with a straight face, sparing no effort in swindling his dumb little wife .
When An Xiaxia sobered up and recalled what she did last night, she thought she was going to die from humiliation .
As she buried her face in her hands, the ringing of her phone broke the silence . It was from Grandma Sheng and she sounded anxious . “Xiaxia, both Cola and Pepsi are sick!”
At those words, An Xiaxia lost all interest in traveling and panic was written all over her face . She forgot all about their following plans and went straight to Sheng Yize . “We need to go back home now!”

“What’s wrong?” Sheng Yize was confused .
“Cola and Pepsi are sick…” An Xiaxia stared at her feet in self-reproach . Sheng Yize was surprised by the news . He then said calmly, “Don’t panic . I’ll book our tickets now . ”
They got back to Yu City that same night .
The old Sheng family home .
Cola and Pepsi were crying and screaming, and refused to sleep . Their howls turned into a duet and the entire family couldn’t quiet them down .
It pained An Xiaxia to see her children like this . She picked them up and cajoled them in a soft voice .
Cola quieted down at the sound of his mother’s voice . Not only did he take his medicine, he regained his appetite and began to drink milk from his bottle .
Pepsi, on the other hand, cried even louder . It sounded as if she was greatly aggrieved, and her cries were agonizing .
“There, there… don’t cry…” An Xiaxia wiped Pepsi’s tears in a fluster .
Pepsi mumbled a simple syllable, “Mama…”
An Xiaxia burst into tears at this .
Seeing this, Sheng Yize pulled the mother and daughter into his arms and comforted them in a low voice .
His hand clenched into a fist in his pocket .
A moment ago, the doctors of the Sheng and Song families had called him in turn .
The message conveyed was quite straightforward: they weren’t able to get Pepsi’s hemolytic disease fully under control .
Sheng Yize felt like a bowl of ice cold water had just been poured over his head, chilling him to the bone .
But… he couldn’t bring himself to tell An Xiaxia .
An Xiaxia’s eyes brimmed with tears as she asked, “What’s wrong with the babies?”
