Xiang Zhilan looked at him curiously, rested her chin on her hand, and tentatively asked, "Girlfriend?"
Shen Muzhi lowered his eyes, his face expressionless: "No."
"Is that the person you have a crush on?" Xiang Zhilan felt that with his sullen personality, it was very likely that such a thing could happen. He liked someone but didn't know how to express it, and he hid it better than anyone else.
Shen Mu looked at Xiang Zhilan with deep, unwavering eyes, without answering.
Xiang Zhilan felt she had guessed correctly, so she continued to ask, "Does she also like photography?"
Shen Muzhi still didn't answer, pulled back the covers and lay down flat, saying softly, "Go to sleep."
"Fine, I won't say then." Xiang Zhilan pouted, lay down, and turned her back to him.
Shen Muzhi reached out and turned her to lie on her side, saying, "It's best for pregnant women to lie on their left side."
Xiang Zhilan originally wanted to turn back, but after hearing his words, she stopped moving.
She had rested for quite a long time in the afternoon, and it was only ten o'clock now, so she couldn't fall asleep. She used to like to read comics before bed, but now that Shen Muzhi was lying next to her, she felt too embarrassed to read those comics.
Well, she didn't only look at the kind of books that were meant for Ni Sitian. There were also some with a more normal style, but they were all the saccharine type that only teenage girls would like.
"Shen Muzhi, are you asleep?" She really couldn't sleep. After making that decision today, she had been feeling uneasy. She was risking her future.
She was probably truly moved by his kneeling gesture, which led her to make this decision. He's willing to do so much for this child; he'll likely be a good father in the future. Hopefully, she won't regret her decision today.
"What's wrong?" Shen Muzhi opened his eyes. He had always suffered from severe insomnia, and recently there had been signs of improvement, but he still couldn't fall asleep before one or two in the morning.
"It's nothing, I just can't sleep." Xiang Zhilan rested her hand on her cheek, looked at Shen Muzhi, and said, "Tell me about your family."
"What do you want to know?" Shen Muzhi turned his head to look at her.
"Anything, like do you have siblings, uncles, aunts, or anything like that?" Xiang Zhilan realized that her knowledge of him was limited to his parents, which was far too limited.
“I am an only child, I have no brothers or sisters. My mother is also my maternal grandfather’s only daughter, so I don’t have any aunts. My father has four younger brothers, my third uncle and fourth uncle are twins, and I have a total of six cousins, none of whom are married yet. The oldest is two years younger than me, and the youngest is currently in college. My third uncle’s two cousins are also twins,” Shen Muzhi said calmly.
Xiang Zhilan was stunned. "Your family is all men?!"
"Hmm." Shen Muzhi nodded slightly.
“Then I’m most likely a boy too.” Xiang Zhilan felt that their family’s genes were incredibly strong, and her eyes suddenly lit up: “It could also be twins.”
Seeing her like this, Shen Muzhi's eyes softened: "Do you want two children?"
"Two of them will keep each other company, they won't be lonely, they can grow up together, go to school together, how wonderful!" Xiang Zhilan couldn't help but stroke her belly, she was really looking forward to twins, and she should be able to have an ultrasound check-up in a while.
"It's okay if they're not twins. If you like, we can have another one." Shen Muzhi was afraid that her expectations would be too high and she would be disappointed when the time came, so he comforted her first.
"Who wants to have another child with you?" Xiang Zhilan turned her face away, feeling a little awkward. They weren't a couple with a very good relationship, and having one child was enough.
