Chapter 1091 - War’s Prelude (1)
Holy Island.
At this moment inside the bamboo cabin located at the center of this lake, a woman in red was currently taking a quick nap against the long bench bed with her head pressing against the pillow. Exactly when all was quiet, two little heads suddenly poked out from the doorway, their eyes scanning curiously at the inside.
“Dragony, stay very quiet, we mustn’t disturb Mother’s rest.” Putting a finger against his lip in a hush hush manner, the little steambun slowly crept forward through the doorway.
Despite the boy keeping a low profile, Bai Yan’s senses had long picked him up the second he drew close. The only reason she’s still keeping her eyes closed was because she’s too lazy to open them due to the pregnancy and the fatigue.
Gradually the boy and girl had come before the sleeping beauty. With one hand up, Bai Xiachen gently places it against the still flat belly while he spoke: “Dragony, come touch too, but be careful to not hurt my little sister.” He then slowly rubs it back and forth like he’s touching some sort of great treasure.
“Mhmm.” Making that complying sound, the young dragoness also comes forward with her hand outstretched. “There really is a sister, my hand felt something kick it.” her eyes are sparkling and filled with excitement when she quickly murmured that comment after giving it a touch as well.
“Dummy, that’s just you imagining things. Sister is still small so you can’t possibly feel anything. Grandfather said it before, it takes seven months before there are any movement.”
Is it?
Blinking her eyes in uncertainty, Dragony could swear she felt some movement during the initial contact.
Meanwhile on the other end, Bai Yan could no longer keep her chuckle back after hearing all those childish remarks, thus surprising the poor boy up and making him jerk backwards.
“Mother, did I disturb you?” Bai Xiachen asks with tears swelling out of those eyes.
Smiling right up, Bai Yan shoots the thought down: “If you want to touch your sister then you should do it out in the open, why be so sneaky?”
The little steambun promptly puckered up his lips in grievance: “That’s because Baddie Father won’t let us get too close to you Mother. He’s afraid we will be too reckless and hurt you and injure Little Sister, so I….”
Not needing to hear more, Bai Yan promptly pulled her son into a lovely hug with one arm while bringing Dragony into her other one for a matching pair. “Xaichen, you are my child as well. Even if I have more children in the future, you will still be my most beloved son. Also, you don’t need to be so careful around me, I won’t get hurt, nor will your little sister because she’s not so fragile.”
Bai Xiachen finally bloomed a bright smile at that promise. Hooking his arms around the woman’s neck in a childish manner: “I will be careful from now on and not let anything reckless happen. I can also help protect you Mother….”
“You are so good.” Pleased with delight, she gives the kid a smooch on the forehead to seal the deal.
During those days where she was wandering around outside and without anyone to rely on, it was this precious boy who brought a ray of light into her life. Without him, Bai Yan doubted she could’ve made it through the long ordeal. For that reason, her first son would always carry a special position in her heart and no one could replace it.
“Mother, you have a good rest first, me and Dragony will go out and play first.” Jumping down from the bench bed, the little steambun makes a gleeful smile as he spoke: “I found a really interesting place some time ago, let’s go check it out Dragony.”
