Shen Muzhi took her hand and led her into the house.

Xin Zikai's eyes darkened slightly. He knew that it would be unfair to Zhi Lan if he told her about this, but time was running out.

As Shen Muzhi reached the steps, he glanced back at Xin Zikai.

Xin Zikai met his gaze. Actually, he should have told Shen Muzhi about this, but doing so might have caused Zhi Lan even more harm.

Xin Zikai looked away, then closed his eyes in pain, wondering what he should do.

"Zikai seems to have something to say but hasn't finished. Did you come here on purpose?" Xiang Zhilan smiled and glared at him. She had seen firsthand how petty and jealous this man was.

Especially after she realized why he had arranged for Xin Zikai to be in the bedroom next to theirs, and even deliberately had his bed moved so that it was only separated from theirs by a wall. He clearly wanted to tell Xin Zikai that she was his, and what kind of good things they would do in the same bed at night.

“Ni Sitian is already awake, what important thing could he have to do?” Shen Muzhi made no attempt to hide his jealousy.

"You really exemplify the saying 'crossing the river and then burning the bridge' perfectly," Xiang Zhilan said with a smirk. "He'll be going back to the US in early October after he finishes teaching this month's classes, so you don't need to keep a long face whenever you see him."

Shen Muzhi snorted twice, clearly not taking Xiang Zhilan's words to heart.

Xiang Zhilan smiled, said nothing more, and they stepped into the house together.

Meanwhile, after finishing dinner, Ni Sitian vomited violently in the bathroom, feeling as if she was about to throw up her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Xu Tingchuan was heartbroken; he hadn't expected her pregnancy symptoms to come so suddenly and so fiercely.

Ni Sitian herself didn't know what was wrong with her. There was nothing special about it, but she felt nauseous and vomited until she was exhausted and her legs went weak in front of the toilet.

Xu Tingchuan helped her up, half-carried her.

She was too weak to resist, and too weak to lean on him, so she grabbed Xu Tingchuan's collar and said softly, "Brother Tingchuan, am I going to die?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Tingchuan reacted strongly to the word "death" and scolded him fiercely.

Ni Sitian was already feeling terribly nauseous from vomiting, and then he scolded her like that. Suddenly, her eyes reddened, and she felt wronged.

Xu Tingchuan picked her up and placed her on the bed. Seeing her pitiful little face, his heart softened. He stroked her hair and said in a low, hoarse voice, "You are not allowed to say that word again."

Ni Sitian pursed her lips, suppressing her grievances. She had heard Xiang Zhilan talk about the reason for her amnesia; he must be terrified of hearing her say that word, after all, he almost lost her.

"I'm sorry, I won't say anything more." She said softly, her eyes sparkling.

Seeing her pale face and pitiful appearance after vomiting, Xu Tingchuan felt heartbroken but didn't know what to do.

Ni Sitian leaned against the headboard, and suddenly felt nauseous again. She leaned over Xu Tingchuan's lap and vomited again.

Xu Tingchuan gently patted her back. He had thought that since she hadn't had any pregnancy symptoms after waking up, her pregnancy might be more comfortable. Who knew that it would suddenly become so severe today? He had originally planned to get closer to her before telling her about the pregnancy, so that she would be more accepting. Now, how could he hide it from her?

"Brother Tingchuan," Ni Sitian said weakly, unable to move in his arms after another round of dry heaving, "I feel so nauseous, do you have any anti-nausea medicine?"
