Chapter 170 The one who's not good to you isn't your mother.
When the baby was born, the doctors and nurses all praised him, saying that he would definitely grow up to be a handsome boy.
His facial features were excellent, and his skull was small.
Shen Xi looked at the child sleeping beside her and slowly lowered her head to kiss his clenched little hand.
She moved very gently, afraid of hurting him.
Little Man waved her hands, babbling away. Her eyes, as big as grapes, were filled with water droplets, making her look pretty and delicate, like a naive little girl.
【Xixi, congratulations!】
This is the first time the storyline has spoken since she became pregnant.
Shen Xi leaned against the headboard of the hospital bed, watching Jiang Ci skillfully pick up the baby to change the diaper.
Shen Xi was still in a good mood: "The plotline, long time no see."
The storyline hadn't received a response from her for a long time, so when she suddenly heard it, she felt flattered and overwhelmed.
[Female lead... We can't stay in this world any longer. If this continues, this afternoon there will be two Shen Xis in the two worlds, one the present you, and one the you from the past... The world will collapse.]
Shen Xi smiled without speaking. She tilted her head and watched the man holding the child and rocking him to sleep. Perhaps sensing that someone was watching him, he turned around and looked up. The father and son's identical eyes met in front of Shen Xi.
Jiang Ci looked up and smiled gently at her.
Shen Xi looked away: [Plotline: Can you sense human emotions?]
The plot is a bit confusing: [Your human emotions are very complex. We can only roughly analyze your feelings and the reasons for the plot's direction. As for human emotions... I sense that you don't seem sad.]
Why is that?
Shen Xi shook her head: "You did sense my emotions, but you don't understand why."
Her emotions were calm, her gaze serene and unwavering: "Aren't human emotions strange? My unequal love with Jiang Ci, transcending time and space. Bai Linlin, jealous and hateful of Su Su, wanted to burn her, yet I had her saved—that's strange too. Her own sisters wanted her dead, while a friend I'd only known for a few months saved her from dire straits. Shen Lu, an outsider to the book, accidentally saw the beautiful love and family background within and wanted to possess it."
[Plotline: Many things in this world begin with a single thought, yet they change the fate of so many people. Tell me, is that fair?]
The plot remained silent, and he knew that the female protagonist of his own world had endured countless hardships and trials to finally establish herself in this world, only to lose it time and time again.
He even felt a pang of regret.
Much later.
Shen Xi, what do you want to do?
The private room was large, with the air conditioning on full blast, and the temperature was pleasant and mild.
A glint flashed in Shen Xi's eyes.
She said, "I don't want to be a pawn anymore."
The plot twists were confusing; he didn't understand the meaning of those words.
……
The entire Jiang family arrived and came in a grand procession to welcome Shen Xi and Xiao Man home.
One month later,
Xiaoman is going to be taken back to the Jiang family home by Ms. Hua to be cared for for a few days.
The child has always been fed imported formula, and all the baby supplies used have been sterilized before being brought in.
Shen Xi rarely gets up at night; it's mostly Jiang Ci who's a light sleeper and wakes up at the sound of faint humming.
On the eve of his departure, Jiang Ci was unusually away from home.
Shen Xi tiptoed quietly to the nursery.
Little Man lazily clenched her little fists, delicately blowing little bubbles. When she saw her mother coming over, her bright, star-like eyes blinked, and her crescent-shaped eyes curved as she looked at her affectionately.
Shen Xi sat down with her legs bent against the crib and gently touched the little one's lotus root-like arm: "Xiao Man, I may have to leave you for a while."
She softened her tone, lowering her eyelashes: "Children don't have good memories. You might not remember me later. That's my fault, so I won't force you."
"However, I can't help feeling a little sad."
She reached out and turned on the starlight, the flickering starlight projected onto the milky white ceiling, attracting the child's attention.
Shen Xi looked up and looked at her son with their heads close together. She said, "Xiaoman, don't be so silly in the future. Don't try to please any woman who looks like me and call her 'Mom'."
"She's not good to you, so she's not your mother."
"When I was pregnant, I often thought of the first time we met, how you wanted to get close to me but never dared to. At that time, I thought, how could anyone not like such a cute and delicate child, like a porcelain doll?"
"Now that I think about it, all I feel is guilt and heartache."
She looked up at the ceiling, which was flashing with colorful lights, as if she had entered a magical cave.
Shen Xi looked down at the child, who was also looking at her curiously. As if sensing her sadness, the child opened its mouth and babbled, eager for her to hold it.
She stretched out her arms and hugged the child, gently humming the lullaby her grandmother used to sing to her when she was little: "Little swallows wear flowery clothes, they are most beautiful every spring, I asked the swallows..."
Little Man blinked and closed his eyes.
Shen Xi personally placed him back into the cradle, closed her eyes tightly, turned around, and dragged herself out.
When I returned to the bedroom, the floor lamp was on, emitting a warm glow.
In the dim light, the man was shirtless, with a towel wrapped around his waist, and was rubbing his hair with a pink towel in his hand.
He turned around when he heard the door open.
"Is she in Xiaoman's room?"
Shen Xi hummed in agreement, went inside, and closed the door.
"Good job, little rascal, you've been very obedient lately." Jiang Ci put down the towel, his tone carrying a sense of pride.
Shen Xi asked in confusion, "Recently?"
Jiang Ci hummed in agreement: "Since I've known him."
Shen Xi: "…………"
