"Have you thought of a name for the child?" Bai Le asked, resting his chin on his hand and tilting his head.
"I haven't decided on a nickname yet, but I have decided on a formal name."
"What is it?" Bai Le asked curiously.
Xi Yan turned to look at him, her eyes darkening, her voice low, yet carrying something else inexplicably.
"Xi Mubai."
Bai Le hadn't expected him to actually prepare, and commented on the name, "Mu Bai? Sounds strange..."
Before he could finish speaking, he stopped abruptly, staring at Xi Yan with a shocked expression.
Mu Bai, Mu Bai.
It couldn't be what he meant, could it?
Xi Yan's eyes were fixed on the person in front of him, watching his panic without offering any explanation, simply observing him quietly.
Bai Le looked away in a flustered state, his ears burning slightly, but fortunately it was late and the blush on his face was not visible.
Seeing that Xi Yan had calmly turned his gaze back to the sea, Bai Le finally calmed down a little and touched his chest with lingering fear.
Why... is his heart beating so fast?
Author's Note: A corny yet romantic confession from the Fourth Master, who has never pursued anyone before. Mu Bai - Mu Bai, Lele's Bai is bai~
This time, Lele actually accepted it properly, hehe. Also, why is everyone saying that the "running around with a baby" part in the synopsis is actually a belly poke? The reason for today's delay is because it's too long to write. There's another chapter coming up later, which is the belly poke! I originally wanted to post it all at once, but I was afraid you wouldn't be able to wait. Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants between 2020-02-27 21:17:23 and 2020-02-28 22:13:55!

Chapter 29
When it got completely dark, Bai Le and Xi Yan returned to the villa together. The two were very quiet on the way, but Bai Le felt that something was different compared to before they came.
A bonfire had already been lit in the open space, and the young people were all gathered around it having fun. A few of them even started singing a song, while the slightly older ones went back to sleep.
A few of the guys saw Bai Le and Xi Yan coming back from that side and exchanged knowing glances and winks. "Happy wedding!"
Bai Le had heard this phrase so many times that he was sick of it, so he didn't even bother to twitch an eyebrow and completely ignored their teasing.
Seeing that Xi Yan straight past them into the villa, he followed him to avoid being caught and questioned if he ended up alone.
The duplex villa is very spacious; Bai Le and Xi Yan's rooms are on the second floor.
"Wait here for me. I'm going to the study; I still have some things to take care of."
Bai Le was stunned for a moment, watching Xi Yan close the door and leave, before realizing that he was reporting to him.
Bai Le lay down on the bed, touching his heart. He felt his palms were sweaty and sticky, which was very uncomfortable, so he got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Bai Le felt somewhat unfamiliar. When did he become more and more integrated into this world? Perhaps it was without him even realizing it.
He touched his lower abdomen again. When did he finally accept this fact? If someone had told him before that he could have children, he would either not believe it or punch that person.
And now he's here, patting his belly with a loving expression.
This world is really crazy.
Bai Le came out of the bathroom, then lay on the bed tossing and turning, gazing at the bright moonlight outside the window. The people who had been gathered around the campfire had long since dispersed, and he felt drowsy as soon as it quieted down.
Bai Le had nothing on his mind. He had heard that some women experience anxiety when they are pregnant, but he didn't feel that way at all. He always slept well. He pulled up the covers, yawned, tossed and turned a few times, and then drifted off to sleep.
When Xi Yan returned, it was already past eleven o'clock. He looked at Bai Le, who was sleeping sprawled out on the bed, and frowned slightly. When he saw that Bai Le had already lifted the thin blanket, revealing his round, white belly, perhaps because he was too hot, his expression darkened.
He walked over and covered him with the blanket. He had originally intended to turn on the air conditioner, but then, as if remembering something else, he went and opened the window. The cool breeze dispelled the stuffiness in the room.
Bai Le turned over, muttering something under his breath. Xi Yan stood by the bed and watched him for a long time before finally sighing and getting into bed as well.
I slept without any dreams.
The next morning, Bai Le was woken up early by the chirping of birds outside. When he woke up, he found that Xi Yan was not in bed this time either. After getting dressed, he was about to go downstairs in his slippers.
The door opened, Xi Yan walked in, carrying a cup of hot milk. Now that he no longer needed a wheelchair, his tall and slender figure was fully revealed.
Drink this.
Bai Le took a sniff and smelled a strong fishy odor. Since becoming pregnant, his appetite had become very strange, sometimes he could eat and sometimes he couldn't. He felt that the baby in his belly was very likely to have inherited his father's unpredictable temperament.
The thought of it made his scalp tingle, so he forced himself to close his eyes and gulp down the milk. But as it turned out, he couldn't force himself; he immediately felt nauseous after drinking it.
Xi Yan watched as he vomited incessantly, his eyes even showing faint physiological redness, his peach blossom eyes filled with tears, making one feel pity for him. However, the very person who evoked pity was about to burst into cursing the next second.
"Damn, I'm throwing up even after just a sip of milk."
Xi Yan's tone also turned serious. "I'll go call the doctor."
After saying that, he ignored Bai Le's attempts to stop him, made a phone call, and soon a doctor in a white coat appeared. He was probably the doctor that Xi Yan had arranged to accompany him.
"What exactly happened?" Xi Yan's expression was extremely ugly, and his tone was terrifyingly cold.
