When Lu Jinchen looked up at her again, his eyes were visibly red. Xia Yuqing's own vision blurred almost immediately. Her fingers slipped gently through his hair as she caressed his head softly, her chest aching with warmth.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Then Lu Jinchen held her carefully and said with quiet determination, "I promise you… I will do everything to take you and our little love back to our world."
Xia Yuqing nodded immediately, tears finally slipping down her cheeks as she smiled. "I know."
The atmosphere in the room softened completely after that. However, only seconds later, Lu Jinchen's expression suddenly turned serious again.
"You need to rest."
Xia Yuqing blinked. "What?"
"You should sit down. No, lie down." His brows furrowed as he glanced at her stomach again, already looking worried beyond reason. "You should not stand for too long."
Xia Yuqing stared at him speechlessly. "…I'm pregnant, not dying."
