Xi Zirui hasn't yet finished his month of seclusion when news reach him that Ji Limei is pregnant.
He can only imagine Bai Mi's smugness, and is glad for the convenient excuse of sitting the month to prevent him from having to see her.
His children continue to grow strong and healthy and Xi Zirui is grateful for every day he gets to spend with them.
Some days it's hard to keep his anxiety at bay. Ni Ni remains quiet, but Xi Zirui knows better than to trust her silence. Who knows when she'll speak up again and bring with her the end of the peaceful life he has built here.
At night, he sleeps with Han Zhiye and Han Xiu in the bed with him, unwilling to let go of them for even a second for fear they'll disappear if he looks away.
Han Yu is no less anxious, now that he has at least some of his memories back.
During some of those sleepless nights he tells Xi Zirui about what it was like for him.
