They had a baby between them, and he was very happy and excited; he was sure that the three of them would be very happy together.
But beyond the happiness, whenever Ye Wanwan felt even the slightest discomfort, Shen Yi’s mind would race back to that nightmare.
Sometimes he would tell himself that it was just a dream, that there was no need to make a big deal out of it.
However, such reassurances were useless; he still felt nervous and scared.
Shen Yi couldn’t understand why, in his dreams, something would always happen to Ye Wanwan.
He had never cared about such ethereal things as dreams before, but when it came to Ye Wanwan, it was as if he was possessed, utterly unable to stop worrying.
Especially since Ye Wanwan had indeed lost some weight recently, and when the doctor at the hospital said they couldn’t solve the problem, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind for a moment!
If he really had to choose, then he would choose Wanwan!
It didn’t matter if they didn’t have a child!
But that thought was fleeting, and when he saw Ye Wanwan smiling gently at him, he knew it was an impossibility.
He saw clearly how much Wanwan was looking forward to the baby; Wanwan would never allow such a thing to happen.
Seeing that Shen Yi remained silent, Ye Wanwan leaned into his arms and continued to ask, "Do you hope for a boy or a girl?"
Ye Wanwan chuckled secretly to herself, regardless of what Shen Yi thought, their Zhouzhou was a boy.
Looking at Ye Wanwan, who was gazing up at him, Shen Yi sighed a little helplessly, then bent his head to kiss her forehead.
"The child is ours, whether it’s a boy or a girl, I will love them, protect them," Shen Yi said in a deep voice.
He really didn’t care about the baby’s gender; whether it was a boy or a girl, wasn’t it all a continuation of him and Wanwan?
"Then what do you think our baby will look like?" Ye Wanwan continued to ask.
Inside, she was already loudly telling Shen Yi, "It looks like you!"
It’s practically your carbon copy!
Shen Yi thought seriously for a moment; he had expected that at today’s prenatal checkup, they would see a lively little baby, who might resemble him or perhaps look like Wanwan.
He had completely forgotten the content that should have been learned in middle school biology: their little baby was only six weeks along, still just a tiny embryo; it was impossible to tell who it resembled.
But Shen Yi had indeed imagined what their baby would look like.
Shen Yi replied truthfully, "I hope the baby will be like you in some ways."
Ye Wanwan wanted to laugh; Shen Yi’s hope was dashed—Zhouzhou really didn’t resemble her at all.
"Why? Isn’t it good to be like you?" Ye Wanwan asked.
Shen Yi fell silent for a moment, "No, both are good."
That was just his own little expectation.
Holding Ye Wanwan, Shen Yi said softly, "Whether the baby is a boy or a girl, resembles you or me, they are our child, the testament and continuation of our love. I will love and protect them unconditionally."
Shen Yi looked down to see Ye Wanwan’s eyes sparkling as she gazed at him, his heart filled with both melancholy and sweetness. Looking at Ye Wanwan, he said earnestly, "When they grow up, I’ll teach them to love and protect you with me."
A cat’s meow brought Ye Wanwan back to reality, and by that time, Taozhi had already jumped onto the sofa, taking his cat steps, treading on Ye Wanwan’s thighs.
