Xu Yi had a dream in which he fell into a bottomless abyss and kept falling. Just as he was about to suffocate in the fall, a pair of warm hands grabbed him.

The familiar feeling told him that the person was Fu Man'er, but the warmth in his hands suddenly disappeared as soon as his feet touched the ground.

"Man'er, Man'er," Xu Yi called out urgently.

It was because of this shout that the surroundings suddenly became clear, and Xu Yi found that there were quite a few people standing in front of him.

Only then did he realize that he had been dreaming.

"Yi'er." Old Mrs. Xu rushed to the bedside, her eyes filled with tears. "You're awake."

"Grandma," Xu Yi called out weakly, raising his hand to wipe his forehead, which was covered in sweat, showing how nervous he was.

"He's finally awake." Liu Fang looked at Xu Yi on the bed with tears in her eyes.

Xu Yi was brought back covered in blood in the middle of the night yesterday, which scared everyone so much that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.

After examining him, the doctor said that it was a stroke of luck that Xu Yi had suffered many wounds, but they were all superficial and did not damage his bones or muscles. Otherwise, Xu Yi would probably have spent the rest of his life in bed.

Xu Yi's eyes quickly scanned the room. Most of his family members were there, but Fu Man'er was nowhere to be seen.

"Grandma, where's Man'er?" Xu Yi asked the old lady Xu who was closest to him.

Grandma Xu paused in tucking him in, "Man'er is sleeping in the next room."

Xu Yi suddenly remembered the dream he had just had, and struggled to get up again after lying down. "I want to go see Man'er."

He wouldn't feel at ease until he saw Man'er with his own eyes.

Grandma Xu quickly pressed him down, but dared not use too much force, for fear of touching his wound. "Man'er is still asleep, so don't go over and disturb her."

Liu Fang knew her son was worried, so she quickly explained, "With all your injuries, the doctor said you need to rest in bed. Don't worry, Man'er is fine. She was just too tired yesterday. She'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Xu Yi was skeptical. "Man'er isn't injured, she's perfectly fine?" For some reason, he felt that his family's expressions were a bit strange.

"This~" Sure enough, Liu Fang hesitated for a moment. If it weren't for the fact that Old Madam Xu's hand was still on Xu Yi's shoulder, Xu Yi would probably have rushed out immediately.

"Man'er wasn't injured, but she suffered some minor injuries. The doctor examined her and said there's nothing wrong; she just needs to rest and recover." The Xu family members all looked guilty as they said this.

Xu Wen, in particular, said, "It's all my fault for not keeping a close eye on Man'er back then. If I had stayed by her side all the time, she wouldn't have fallen into that big pit."

"It's truly thanks to Buddha's blessing." Grandma Xu said, putting her hands together in prayer with a devout expression. "Thanks to Buddha's blessing, our Man'er and the child in her belly are safe and sound. Heaven has blessed us."

"Liu Fang, I'm going to the temple tomorrow to properly thank Buddha and donate some money for incense." Old Mrs. Xu had a feeling of surviving a disaster.

"Sigh, then I'll trouble you to go, Mother," Liu Fang replied.

Having fallen into that huge pit, perhaps hitting his head, Xu Yi felt he couldn't understand what they were saying.

"Grandma, what were you talking about? The baby in Man'er's belly?" Xu Yi looked at everyone with a blank expression.

"You two!" Old Mrs. Xu looked at her eldest grandson with lingering fear. "Man'er is pregnant and you didn't even know! Last night she was hiking and then she slipped and fell."

"She even fainted in the end. That baby is so strong; she was perfectly fine in the womb!"

Xu Yi couldn't hear what Grandma Xu said after that; all he knew was that Man'er was pregnant.

"Hey, Yi'er, what are you doing?" In a fit of excitement, Xu Yi tried to throw off the covers and get out of bed without thinking, but was quickly pressed back down onto the bed by the Xu family members.

Fortunately, he was covered in injuries and had taken medicine, so he soon drifted off to sleep.

When he woke up again, it was already dark. There were candles lit in the room, but he didn't see a room full of people as soon as he opened his eyes.

No, there is one.

Xu Yi looked up and a familiar face came into view.

"Brother." Fu Man'er was lying on the small couch. She wanted to get up suddenly and run to Xu Yi, but she seemed to remember something when she lifted her bottom.

She placed her hands on the small table, carefully stood up, and then took small steps toward Xu Yi.

"Man'er!"

The two had only been apart for a day, but Xu Yi felt as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Now that they were face to face, Xu Yi had a feeling of reunion after a long separation.

"Brother, be careful of your injuries." As soon as Fu Man'er sat down, Xu Yi pulled her into his arms. Fu Man'er carefully pulled her hands away, trying not to touch her wounds.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Xu Yi's face showed a satisfied smile. The pain from these wounds was nothing compared to when Fu Man'er disappeared in his dream.

The two embraced quietly. Shuangxi had originally intended to come in and serve them when she heard the noise inside, but seeing how peaceful and serene the two looked, she silently withdrew.

After hugging her for a while, Xu Yi suddenly remembered something. He gently pushed Fu Man'er away and his gaze fell on her flat stomach.

"Man'er, is there our child here?" Xu Yi said, carefully placing his hand on Fu Man'er's lower abdomen. The usually clever man even fantasized about being able to feel something with his hand.

"Hmm." Fu Man'er nodded and looked at her lower abdomen. "The doctor said it's been a month, but I can't see anything."

Before Xu Yi woke up, Fu Man'er lifted her clothes to look at her stomach, which looked no different from usual.

"This was really dangerous." Xu Yi still felt a chill when he thought about it. To fall from such a height and still be unharmed, he could only be described as incredibly lucky.

Fu Man'er reached out and placed her hand on Xu Yi's palm, her eyes crinkling with joy, "It was this child who protected us."

She felt unwell in her stomach and bent over while clutching it when she fell. It was only then that she noticed Xu Yi underneath her.

Otherwise, we don't know when we'll find Xu Yi. Although Xu Yi didn't break any bones, with so many wounds, there's always the possibility of him dying from blood loss.

"The child is still so young." Xu Yi's expression softened considerably as he gently stroked Fu Man'er's abdomen with his thumb. "He's really had a tough time."

"I will definitely protect you and the child."

He never wanted to experience that terrifying situation again, and now, thinking back on it, he felt even worse than if he had been seriously injured.

Of course, Xu Yi, the culprit who caused all this, will not let them off easily.

Thinking of those people, Xu Yi's gentle features suddenly turned sharp.
