Yu Yao didn't dare look at him and just hummed in response.

The warm water fell on her skin, and Yu Yao couldn't help but let out a soft moan. She looked up at Lu Ze and said, "It's cold!"

Lu Ze's eyes darkened as he turned up the water temperature. "And now?"

Yu Yao nodded, "This temperature is just right, it's nice and warm."

After she finished speaking, she realized that Lu Ze's gaze was unusually intense, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

After two months of traveling, his hair had grown quite a bit, but he'd been too busy to go to the barbershop for a buzz cut these past few days.

At this moment, the stray hairs on his forehead were wet, adding a touch of brokenness to his appearance.

His polyester shirt was soaked by splashed water, clinging to his body in a semi-transparent way, revealing glimpses of his eight-pack abs and V-line.

In an instant, words like "wet and sexy" and "boyish yet fatherly" flashed through Yu Yao's mind, and she felt her heart beating erratically.

Glug!

Yu Yao felt a burning sensation in her heart and dared not look any longer, averting her gaze.

After that, aside from mechanically discussing whether the water temperature was suitable, the two tacitly avoided saying anything else.

The rising steam in the bathroom mirrored the intense beating of their hearts.

After finally helping Yu Yao finish her bath, Lu Ze was soaked to the bone, his forehead covered in sweat. He took Yu Yao back to her bedroom, grabbed some clothes, and went into the shower.

Yu Yao sat on the edge of the bed, drying her hair. She was halfway through drying her hair when she saw Lu Ze push the door open and come in.

Lu Ze walked over to her, took the towel from her hand, and helped her dry her hair.

After drying off, the two lay on the bed. Yu Yao leaned against Lu Ze's chest and suddenly cried out in pain.

Startled, Lu Ze asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Yu Yao shook her head, "It's nothing, I just don't know if it was Da Bao or Xiao Bao who kicked me."

Lu Ze looked at her protruding belly, pursed his lips, and asked, "Ayao, may I touch them?"

“Of course you can, since you’re their father.” Yu Yao smiled and pulled Lu Ze’s large hand to her stomach.

Upon touching Yu Yao's stomach, Lu Ze's hand tensed instantly. After a moment, he gently stroked Yu Yao's abdomen only after confirming that there was no problem.

Yu Yao's face was full of smiles.

It turns out that no matter how capable a man is, he will get nervous at this moment.

Lu Ze was no exception.

"You can say hello to them," Yu Yao encouraged with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the man, who was not good with words, carefully and awkwardly touched her belly and said, "Big baby, little baby, I'm your dad."

His response was two thuds in his stomach.

Lu Ze froze for a moment before turning to look at Yu Yao. "Yao, they kicked me."

Yu Yao smiled and touched her belly: "Did Daddy hear Daddy's voice too? You were just greeting Daddy, right?"

I got kicked in the stomach again.

Yu Yao gently patted her belly, "Baby is so good. Daddy received your greetings."

The two new parents actually thought the babies in their bellies could understand them, so they took turns talking to the twins in their bellies like adults.

In any case, there's no need to worry about prenatal education.

It was almost nine o'clock. Yu Yao yawned and told Lu Ze to turn off the light and go to sleep.

She hugged Lu Ze and rubbed against him contentedly.

But it was tough on Lu Ze.

Having not seen each other for over two months, and being in the prime of my life with my lover right beside me, and having just witnessed that scene in the shower, it's impossible to say I had no thoughts at all.

He just remembered Dr. Cai's words: you can't have sex while pregnant, so he endured it.

Just as Yu Yao was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard someone whisper in her ear, "A Yao, I'm going to sleep next door."

"Why do we have to sleep next door?" Yu Yao asked groggily, her leg accidentally touching a hot, indescribable spot, which jolted her awake.

She said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's been more than six months already, so I don't need to go next door."

Lu Ze didn't understand what she meant, and whispered in her ear, "Ayao, you overestimated my self-control and underestimated your influence over me."

Upon understanding, Yu Yao blushed instantly, grabbed Lu Ze's hand as he stood up, and gently bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, "Dr. Cai said it's okay."

Lu Ze was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately, "What do you mean, 'can't'?"

"Ugh. You're so annoying!" Yu Yao got up and whispered in his ear, feeling embarrassed.

In the darkness, Lu Ze's Adam's apple bobbed, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Ayao, is it really okay?"
