"Then... why didn't you tell me?" Meiya was speechless for a long while. When she spoke again, she was crying. She beat Zhong Mingwei's chest with both hands and cried, "Such great news, you actually hid it from me, Zhong Mingwei, how could you be so bad?!"
"No, girl, I didn't mean to hide it from you," Zhong Mingwei explained, grabbing Mei Ya's hand and tucking it under his armpit, "Mr. Gu wasn't sure about the antidote, so I was worried. If I told you, you would be happy, but if the antidote didn't work, I was worried that you would be disappointed, so I didn't tell you." At this point, Zhong Mingwei paused, holding Mei Ya's face, smoothing her hair, and said softly, "But I never thought that this antidote would be so effective, girl, I'm so happy."
"Zhong Mingwei, I'm so happy too," Meiya was no longer as excited as before. She leaned on the man's chest, tears streaming down her face as she whispered, "You hid the antidote from me, but I also hid something from you in my heart."
"What have you been hiding from me?" Zhong Mingwei took a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Seeing her aggrieved and guilty face, he felt very distressed, but he also wanted to laugh. He immediately hugged Meiya and lay on the bed. He stretched out his hand to hold Meiya in his arms, and pulled the quilt over them. Then he whispered to Meiya, "Now it's just the two of us. Just tell your husband if you have anything."
"Actually, I really like Xiao Nian's kiss." Mei Ya burrowed deeper into the quilt, turned her face sideways to the man, and said with shame and embarrassment.
"This...what's the point of hiding this from me?" Zhong Mingwei was confused. "I like Xiao Nianqin very much too. This...what's the problem?"
"When Sister An brought Xiao Nianqin into the palace for the first time, I liked him so much. Such a small and soft baby was lying in my arms. I looked at Xiao Nianqin and couldn't help but imagine what the baby between you and me would look like," Mei Ya continued, her voice getting even softer and choking slightly. "Zhong Mingwei, I... I was very envious of Sister An at that time. I envied her for being able to give birth to a baby and be a mother. I knew you had your own difficulties, and since you got married, you had prepared yourself for a lifetime of being childless, but, but when I saw Xiao Nianqin, I still felt very uncomfortable and still resented you. Mingwei, do you think I... am I particularly bad?"
Mei Ya crawled into the quilt. Zhong Mingwei could only hear her voice but couldn't see her face. However, he could guess Mei Ya's expression and mood at the moment. Zhong Mingwei felt as if his throat was on fire. His lips trembled a few times before he uttered a dry voice: "Girl, I really hope you don't have to bury a lot of things in your heart and bear them by yourself. Also, girl, I really... really hope you don't have any resentment towards me."
Yes, I wish you had resentment towards me and all kinds of demands on me, if I am destined to owe you a lot in this life.
"No complaints! Really no complaints! Zhong Mingwei, you don't know how happy I am. I have you and the baby, what else can I complain about? I will burn incense to Guanyin Bodhisattva every day in the future!" Mei Ya shook her head in Zhong Mingwei's arms, wiping her tears on her chest. After crying like this, Mei Ya felt much better. She took Zhong Mingwei's hand and carefully placed it on her lower abdomen, whispering, "Mingwei, there are two little buds here."
Zhong Mingwei was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, wetting his temples.
"Mingwei, do you still remember what you said to me in Ningguta?" Meiya smiled silently in the warm quilt, "I have always remembered it, very clearly, without missing a single word."
