"Baby, can you eat something before sleeping?"
Lin Xuanzi heard the growling from her stomach, quickly saying, "I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
"I don't want to eat, I have no appetite."
Mai Xiaomai shook her head and said, "I just want to sleep."
"If you don't eat, the baby in your belly still needs to eat. Otherwise, you'll starve it."
Lin Xuanzi persuaded.
Mai Xiaomai touched her belly, finally nodded, and sat on the sofa.
Lin Xuanzi hurried into the kitchen.
When he came out with a bowl of noodles, he found Mai Xiaomai had curled up on the sofa and fallen asleep, like an abandoned stray cat, pitifully, with tears at the corners of her eyes.
He silently sighed.
Her grief was so quiet, so unusual.
If she were crying and screaming now, it would actually be reassuring.
He's really afraid she'd bury this grief without a release.
Looking at the bowl of noodles in his hand, he decided he still needed to wake her up to eat.
"Baby, wake up and eat the noodles."
