The climate on FX Island was summer all year round. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the waves rose and fell. Lying on the beach, An Xiaxia sipped her fruit juice.
An Yibei darted her a sidelong glance. “You’re still here? When are you going to go back?”
“I’m not. I’m staying here forever.” An Xiaxia pursed her lips. Beside her, Su Xiaomo guffawed. “Don’t be silly! Are you going to give birth here?”
“You’re as pregnant as I am and you’re still here. Why can’t I?”
“My husband is with me, but yours isn’t~” Su Xiaomo said like a showoff. Her Dr. He then strode over and said in a gentle voice, “It’s time to go get some rest.”
Su Xiaomo was disheartened right away and pleaded, “Let me just bask for a little bit longer! Just a few more minutes!”
He Jiayu’s smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, but his tone was unwavering nonetheless. “No, you can’t.”
Su Xiaomo surrendered right away. She left with He Jiayu, supporting her waist with both hands.
“See? What’s so good about having a husband with you? They want to have a say in everything!” One could detect envy in An Xiaxia’s voice and An Yibei said in resignation, “Alright. It’s time for us to go back in, too!”
“… Brother, don’t be so fussy! It’s so annoying!”
“It’s for your own good. Let’s go.”
Disappointed, An Xiaxia went back with him to the flat he had rented.
Inside, the air-conditioning was set at a rather low temperature and An Xiaxia was in her summer dress. She switched to the Discovery Channel to watch penguins. Sipping the ice cold drink that had been prepared for her, she sighed in satisfaction. “This is what life should be like~ I love summer! It’s still winter back at home now~”
An Yibei said in disdain, “I think you’re probably doing Sheng Yize a favor by skipping home.”
“What? Why do you say that?”
“You’re lazy and dumb. Do you have any idea how troublesome it is to look after you? WIth you gone, he can finally take a break. Isn’t that nice?” An Yibei adjusted his glasses as he switched on his “sharp tone mode” again.
An Xiaxia was used to his sarcasm already. She mumbled something in protest and went back to watching TV.
She often felt drowsy during her pregnancy. Before long, her head began to nod and she drifted off, leaning against the sofa.
Seeing this, An Yibei turned off the TV and sat down next to her, rearranging her messy hair.
An Yibei smiled bitterly, recalling back when An Xiaxia would tug at his trousers and sob. Before he knew it, that little girl had grown up.
The sister he raised was already married and with child.
His gaze then landed on An Xiaxia’s belly, which was beginning to show.
He took a few cans of beers and went to drink alone on the balcony.
About an hour later, he returned to the living room to find An Xiaxia still asleep.
He considered carrying her back to the bedroom.
After a brief glimpse of her face, he couldn’t look away.
Her delicate features had a stunning beauty to them.
Probably because she was dreaming, An Xiaxia smacked her lips.
The sight of her red lips and the pink tip of her tongue sent a shiver down his spine.
Something clicked in his head and he couldn’t fight the urge anymore.
An Yibei bent down and kissed An Xiaxia on the lips.
It was no more than a peck.
It all happened in a split second. He seemed to wake up after that and stood back up.
Damn it… what had he done…
He keenly sensed a pair of eyes on his back.
Turning to one side, he saw that Sheng Yize had arrived when he wasn’t looking. The man stood there with his arms crossed as he stared at An Yibei with a murderous look in his eyes.
