Author's Note: The baby was premature. In the days leading up to the delivery, Fourth Master didn't let Lele ski; the two only walked in the snow. And Fourth Master brought a medical team along just in case. Don't worry, the baby isn't a wild child! It was born in the hospital! Very healthy! The next chapter will be about the baby's arrival. I know you're all waiting anxiously, so I'll post it earlier tomorrow! Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants between 2020-03-07 21:44:12 and 2020-03-08 20:21:55!

Chapter 39
Bai Le felt as if his body was being torn apart, the pain was excruciating, and his mind was completely blank, unable to think at all.
In a daze, his consciousness sank into a cold sea, surrounded by darkness.
Has he died again?
The thought of this possibility immediately filled him with immense panic. What about Xi Yan? He had only just realized his own feelings, and now he was abandoning him?
Most importantly, what about himself? He came to this strange world and had these strange encounters. He thought he would be resistant, but now he finds that he is already trapped and cannot leave Xi Yan.
Bai Le felt a sharp pain in his heart, wanting to cry but unable to. After an unknown amount of time, his mind gradually regained its normal thinking ability, and his consciousness gradually cleared.
But for some reason, he dared not open his eyes, probably because he was afraid that if he opened his eyes, he would be in another world, a world without Xi Yan.
After a long period of mental preparation, Bai Le finally mustered up the courage to slowly open her eyes. What came into view was a white ceiling, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of flowers, with a faint smell of disinfectant mixed in.
"He's awake, he's awake."
Before my consciousness had fully returned, I heard a woman's voice, filled with joy and tears.
"Mom..." Bai Le's voice was still a little weak.
"Lele, are you alright?" Wu Xueying grabbed her hand.
Bai Le's vision finally cleared completely, and his gaze searched around the ward before finally landing on Xi Yan, who was standing to the side.
Their eyes met in mid-air, Xi Yan immediately knew what he was thinking. She stepped forward and gently took his hand.
"I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy."
Bai Le finally breathed a sigh of relief. The ward was crowded with people, not only the Bai family, but even Old Master Xi appeared. He was unusually quiet. When he saw that Bai Le had woken up, he sent everyone else away, leaving only Xi Yan and Bai Le.
As the anesthetic wore off, Bai Le felt the wound begin to hurt. He reached out and tugged at Xi Yan's shirt hem, wincing in pain, but still managed to say, "Let me see."
Xi Yan squatted down, stroked his black hair, and said gently, "The baby is in an incubator now."
Bai Le's eyes widened slightly. "How did he end up in the incubator? Didn't you say he was perfectly healthy?"
Seeing that he was getting nervous, Xi Yan quickly reassured him, "He is indeed very healthy and has no illnesses. It's just that he was born prematurely, so his weight is a little lower than other babies. But don't worry, as long as you take good care of him, it won't have any impact. He will catch up with the weight of a normal baby very soon."
It was rare for him to speak so patiently in such long sentences. After hearing his explanation, Bai Le felt slightly relieved, but still couldn't help but confirm again and again. "You promise there won't be any problems?"
Xi Yan nodded. "I promise."
Bai Le stopped asking about it and then asked, "Can I go see him?"
Xi Yan shook his head. "No, you haven't recovered yet. Wait until you're feeling better before going to see a doctor."
Bai Le had never been so impatient before. He was eager to know what the little life he was nurturing would look like, and even just hearing its cries would make him incredibly satisfied.
Did you see it?
Xi Yan's lips curled up slightly, finally revealing a hint of joy on his usually calm face.
"I saw it."
Bai Le quickly asked, "How does he look? Is he ugly?"
Xi Yan looked at him, seemingly feeling somewhat helpless. "How can a newborn be considered beautiful or ugly?"
"Of course I was! My mom said that when I was born, I was fair-skinned with a rosy glow and long eyelashes; I was so pretty that people thought I was a girl."
Xi Yan smiled and said, "Then he must take after you."
Bai Le immediately beamed with satisfaction. "It would be good if you were like me, and even better if you had my temperament, that would be perfect."
Xi Yan shook her head, not bothering to argue with him, and instead tucked the blanket around him.
Bai Le's gaze fell on his shoulder. "How's your injury?"
Xi Yan said, "It's nothing serious; the wound wasn't deep to begin with."
Bai Le glared at him. "Then why did you lie to me?"
Xi Yan ruffled his hair, her tone like that of someone coaxing a child, full of doting and indulgence.
"Feel sorry."
He paused, then said slowly, "The sentence you mentioned..."
Bai Le knew exactly what he was referring to as soon as she heard him speak, and immediately interrupted him in embarrassment, wishing she could bury her head under the covers.
"Stop talking, stop talking." He felt his face burning hot; he had even been so frightened that he cried.
Xi Yan looked at him with a chuckle, reaching out to pull back the sheet, but Bai Le grabbed it tightly.
"Oh right! How is that person?" Bai Le suddenly remembered the person who attacked them. If something happened to him, wouldn't he become a murderer?
Mentioning that person Xi Yan's eyes turned cold, but Bai Le didn't notice. He still slightly raised his lips and said nonchalantly, "You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle it."
Fortunately, the people he found arrived in time. He had brought a dedicated medical team with him as a precaution. The nearest hospital was only a 20-minute drive away, so there was nothing seriously wrong. But even so, he was still very regretful.
