He Zhilan let out two chuckles from the bed, "Got too hot in the middle of the night."
"The elders say pregnant women are resilient to cold, but I've never seen someone as unafraid of it as you. What season is it now? You wear less than others during the day, and at night you still find it warm?" Xiaojia laughed, "Pregnant women sure are fascinating creatures. So, how did you sleep last night?"
Two months after He Teng left, He Zhilan discovered she was pregnant. The one who examined her was a local healer from the village. Afterward, worrying that the kids in the village might kick her belly while sleeping at night, He Zhilan started sleeping alone in a separate room.
By this time, the child in He Zhilan's belly was already over three months old. But because she was naturally thin, once she put on a coat, she still looked as slender as a young girl.
