When the child turned around to face her, Yun Bixue praised inwardly. This child was exquisitely beautiful. Her skin was white, as though it was thinly veiled by powdered jade. This beauty and cuteness was something she almost couldn't find terms to describe.
Yun Bixue looked at the child as she softened visibly. Adoration was evident on her face, and she itched to hug the child.
The said child blinked at Yun Bixue with her large, twinkling eyes.
Yun Bixue could no longer hold back. She checked her surroundings for people, but there was no one around. The adults were at fault for leaving the child alone in the backyard. Although this child was sitting on a woolen carpet, she was too young and should still be carried around.
“Little Miss, where are your parents?”
The child pouted, seemingly unhappy.
Yun Bixue originally wanted to hug her, but seeing the unhappy expression on the child's face, she faltered and could only pull back sadly.
“Are you upset?”
The child stretched out her arms, as though asking for a hug.
Yun Bixue excitedly went up to pull the child into her embrace. Smelling the milky scent on her, she immediately fell for her.
“I'm a boy.”
The sudden sound of the small boy's crisp voice almost made Yun Bixue drop the child.
She looked at the little boy in shock. Such a beautiful child, and it was actually a boy and not a girl?
The little boy pouted before sloppily planting a kiss on Yun Bixue. “Mother, I'm your child.”
Yun Bixue became speechless instantly. Her head felt all muddled, and she couldn't react in time.
“Does Mother not like me?”
“I… I'm not your mother.” She had yet to give birth!
“Mother, I'm your child, your child…” The little boy looked pitifully at Yun Bixue with a vulnerable gaze, and his eyes shone with unshed tears, as though protesting her dislike for him.
Even if Yun Bixue was startled, she quickly comforted. “You're such a beautiful child. I would obviously like you. If not, I wouldn't be carrying you, right?”
“Mother, I'm tired. I'm going to sleep, you have to protect me!” After saying that, the boy planted another kiss on Yun Bixue before disappearing from her arms.
Yun Bixue's eyes clouded over with a thick fog, and she woke up instantaneously.
Seeing Yun Bixue wake up, Xie Limo asked worriedly, “Are you feeling unwell anywhere?” Although the doctor said that it was nothing serious, he still wanted to enquire about her wellbeing.
Yun Bixue stared at her surroundings before realizing that this was the hospital. She couldn't really differentiate between the dream and reality.
“Xue, what happened?”
Yun Bixue grabbed Xie Limo's hand. “Limo, I had a dream. There was a little boy who called me mother.”
Xie Limo's expression s.h.i.+fted as he gently caressed her hair. “Don't worry, our child is fine and strong. The doctor said that I've been giving you too much nutrition, so your tummy is bigger than others. I will adjust the meals accordingly in the future.”
Yun Bixue gaped. Her dream was too out of the blue and beyond imagination. Even if she said it, no one would believe her.
But no matter what, Yun Bixue still wanted to share it with Xie Limo, so she sat up and began describing her dream to him.
“Limo, do you believe me? I think it's strange as well, but it felt so real. Even now, I can still feel his kiss on my cheeks.”
