By around eight months, Ye Li had almost always been falling asleep sitting up, and her legs would cramp every night. The closer she got to her due date, the more unstable her emotions became.
Yanchen asked Lin Ke and Tian Weiwei to spend more time with her. That worked during the day when she could be seen smiling happily, but by night she would completely break down, often burying herself in his embrace, sobbing uncontrollably.
Yanchen was heartbroken but helpless. He could only soothe her gently and repeatedly.
In the last week of her due date, Yanchen stayed right by Ye Li's side in the hospital.
"Finally, the princess carried her little rabbit back to the forest," Yanchen closed the storybook, squeezing Ye Li's calf, "It's time to sleep."
"I don't want to sleep." Ye Li blinked, and big tears fell down her cheeks. Ye Li also startled herself, touched her own face, and sobbed, "Yanchen, I can't control my emotions."
