Baobao frowned. Though embarrassed, she could not suppress her curiosity. Finally, she summoned the courage to feel between his legs. Even through his clothes, it felt as though there was nothing there. "It really is gone?" she asked in astonishment.
Hu Xiaotian pulled a miserable face. "Why would I lie to you? Would I joke around about something this serious?"
Baobao looked at Hu Xiaotian, and the sight of his woebegone expression suddenly made her burst out laughing.
Her laughter left Hu Xiaotian dumbfounded. At a time like this, she could actually laugh! She was utterly heartless. "Could you please show a little sympathy?" he complained.
Baobao knew she should not be laughing, but she simply could not control herself. She laughed until tears streamed down her face before finally stopping.

"Wouldn't that make you a widow with a living husband? How would you give me a little Xiaotian then?"
"Who said I wanted to have your children? If it's gone, it's gone. I have no use for it anyway."
"Hey... stop joking. I'm being serious. Help me, please?"

"Baobao, you're forcing me to get rough!" Hu Xiaotian said.
Baobao's eyes filled with defiance. "Get rough? Are you even capable of that now?"
Struck right where it hurt, Hu Xiaotian immediately hung his head
