After hearing what the other person said, Pei Wu smelled herself. The heating in the room was on full blast. Shen Yunan, who was in the late stages of pregnancy, was sensitive to the cold, so he found the temperature comfortable. However, Pei Wu felt that the temperature was a bit high. In addition, she had just assembled the bed and railing, and a thin layer of sweat had indeed appeared on her forehead.
"Oh well"
Late at night, Shen Yu'nan was awakened by the throbbing pain in his calf. His sleep had been poor lately, and he rarely slept soundly. His heavy body affected his breathing after lying down, which in turn affected his sleep quality.
Pei Wu is a light sleeper, and with Shao Sang's recent poor sleep, she hasn't been sleeping well either. She wakes up almost as soon as Shao Sang makes a slight movement beside her. She sits up and skillfully reaches out to massage Shen Yu Nan's calves.
At first, Shen Yu Nan was a little awkward about Pei Wu massaging him, because in Shen Yu Nan's impression, Pei Wu's beautiful hands could write beautiful words, type on a computer keyboard, or caress a coffee cup in her hand.
Yet these same hands would massage his cramped calves day and night, and even straighten his toes that were curled up due to the cramps.
Pei Wu's hands were slender, long, and fair, with delicate fingertips and neatly trimmed nails. Even the nail surfaces seemed to have a soft sheen, feeling incredibly soft against his skin.
The pain and numbness emanating from deep within his calf muscles caused Shen Yu Nan to press his lips tightly together, a thin layer of sweat already forming on his forehead. He lowered his head, only letting out a soft whimper when the pain became unbearable.
"Are you still feeling very uncomfortable?"
It wasn't until Pei Wu asked that Shen Yu Nan raised his head, which had been slightly lowered, and looked at her. His eyes were slightly red, and even the thin eyelids in his eye sockets were red. His eyes looked as if they were filled with a layer of mist, making him very pitiful.
Despite the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his lips almost pressed into a thin line, the area around his lips turning white from the pursing motion, and the way he gripped Pei Wu's arm with great force, he still shook his head.
Pei Wu's forceful action of straightening the other person's curled toes caused Shen Yunan to tighten his grip on Pei Wu's arm even more.
"It'll be ready soon."
“…” Shen Yu Nan nodded.
He knew that once his curled toes were straightened, the pain would gradually lessen and be replaced by numbness.
Pei Wu's heart trembled with heartache.
They held each other tightly until the other person's pain subsided and they gradually became sleepy, without ever letting go of them.
“Awu…”
Shen Yu Nan vaguely called out to Pei Wu.
"Um."
"Put me down."
"I'll hold you while I sleep."
"You'll get very tired this way..."
"I'm not tired."
Because of the pain, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Shen Yu Nan's back. Pei Wu kissed his forehead while speaking. In just a few words, Shen Yu Nan was overcome by sleepiness. He really needed sleep at that moment.
In his daze, he felt several more throbbing sensations on the back of his neck, a burning sensation that soothed his skin.
But he couldn't withstand the exhaustion of his body and fell into a deep sleep.
Pei Wu held the sleeping Shen Yu Nan in her arms, their cheeks pressed together. She felt that the process of bringing life into the world was magical. She watched as the little life that belonged to them was growing inside the man's body, and her heart felt inexplicably warm.
The process of bringing life into the world is arduous, but the man has no complaints... He silently endures everything, only able to watch and do some auxiliary work, but he can never replace the other's hardships.
Pei Wu felt a pang of heartache.
Moreover, this kind of mutual organization of families and the birth of life is a kind of family warmth that Pei Wu has never experienced. She also bought a big house in the real world, but her house cannot be called a 'home'.
