"Oh, right... Sorry about that."

As the room fell into silence, Xiaoyun''s eyelid began slowly closing on itself as drowsiness settled in.

"Honey... You awake?"

Seeing Xiaoyun not responding, Leyan carefully rinsed Xiaoyun''s hair without waking him up, then dried him up with a towel before carrying him to the bed.

"I guess I have to surprise him after he wakes up..." Leyan murmured as she watched Xiaoyun sleeping peacefully on the bed.

---

When Xiaoyun opened his eyes, it was already near nighttime as the sunlight was dimming down.

With a small turn to the right, the clock was pointed at six o''clock.

"Damn... I really slept through the entire evening."

After getting out of bed, Xiaoyun went to the bathroom to freshen himself up before going downstairs.

But as he stepped down to the living room, Leyan was alone on the sofa, reading a book that had a blank cover.

"Where is everybody? What book are you reading?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he sat down next to her.

"It''s just a cookbook... Also, Yuqi and the others just headed out to celebrate Huayi''s birthday.

Do you want to go right now? I''m sure Yezi would be really happy to see you be there."

Seeing Leyan choosing to hide the book behind her back, Xiaoyun didn''t pressure her to show it.

"Nah, I probably just stay at home with you... Actually, why didn''t you go with them? Aren''t you like best friends with Huayi?"

Leyan froze for a second, then replied.

"I-I was thinking that you might be hungry when you get up the bed. Let me go cook you dinner right now."

Just as Leyan got up from the sofa, Xiaoyun held onto her hand.

"Babe... We''re alone in the house right now."

Xiaoyun pointed out after noticing all the cribs were empty, which meant the girls had brought the babies along with them.

"Honey... We shouldn''t do this. It''s still only six."

Leyan shook her head as she thought back to the girl''s demand on her and Xiaoyun.

"Come on, I haven''t done it for almost half a week now. You wanted to do it last night as well, right? Even in the shower, I saw you getting wet down——"

Just as Leyan was about to fall under pressure, Xiaoyun''s stomach suddenly growled.

"I''ll go cook dinner——"

Leyan quickly pushed Xiaoyun''s hand away and left the living room, her face blushing red as she almost fell to temptation again.

"Geez... When did she get so good at holding onto her lust like that?"

As Xiaoyun sat back down on the sofa, he noticed the book that Leyan was hiding was lying right next to him.

"I shouldn''t read this... She doesn''t want me to read it."

Despite thinking about respecting Leyan''s privacy, Xiaoyun''s hand automatically opened it with his eye looking down right at the text.

"Here, have a drink yourself."

Leyan hesitated for a second as the bottle contained her own breastmilk and her two daughter''s breastmilk.

But her curiosity took over as she accepted the bottle from Xiaoyun and lifted it to her mouth.

As she gulps down several sips down to her stomach, she immediately puts the bottle back down on the table.

"Holy! How dense are the calories in this bottle? How did it make me so full so fast?"

Leyan double-checked the bottle in hand as she couldn''t believe what she had just drank a second ago.

"Exactly... Wait, how much do Yongyi and the other two drink every day?" Xiaoyun suddenly asked.

"About an entire bottle a day..."

Leyan froze as she realized what she had just said out loud, which made no sense as she could barely finish a third of the bottle without feeling full.

"This can''t be right. There has to be something in here that makes it different from others."

Xiaoyun turned his head to Leyan''s body, looking up and down at her body as if she were some sort of exotic animal.

"Stop looking at me like that... It''s weird."

Leyan covered herself with her arms despite already wearing a shirt and pants. She could feel the change in Xiaoyun''s eyes shifting into a predator looking at prey, getting ready to jump at her at any moment as he kept staring at her in silence.

"Seriously, stop looking at me like this... I don''t like it."

Hearing Leyan''s plea, Xiaoyun finally snapped out of it as his brain quickly took back control from his lower body.

"Sorry. I lost control for a second... Leyan, didn''t I say the same thing when I drank this last time?"

"Yeah, you did... But I thought you were just joking. And it wasn''t that strong in the past."

As the two stood still in silence again, Xiaoyun suddenly lifted the entire bottle and drank it all at once.

"What are you——"

"Damn, I''m so *Burp* full... I can feel my stomach bloating. Yongyi and the other two don''t have this happening to them at all, right?"

Seeing Xiaoyun holding his small bulge around his stomach, Leyan immediately got a little concerned.

"Yeah, they are perfectly fine after getting their milk... Are you okay?"

Xiaoyun nodded in agreement as he puts the bottle back down onto the table.

"I''m fine... Hey Leyan, have you been eating a lot more recently?"

"Um, I''ve been eating so much lately—the other two, too. Way more than when I had Yuqi or when I had twins."

Hearing Leyan''s answer, Xiaoyun began to develop an theory in his head as he directed another question at her.

"Your weight hasn''t increased either, right?"

"Well, it has been very similar ever since I finished giving birth to Yongyi... Which should had disappeared by now but it stayed——"

Leyan froze as she finally realized what Xiaoyun was trying to imply. But more question appeared in her head than answers.

"But why does this happen now? I never had this happening before when I had the other three."

"Maybe because you''re with me now?" Xiaoyun suggested.

"I guess... But this can''t be good for the babies, right? They are growing way too fast for their goods."
