Lately, Beiming Han has been coming home quite late. Gu Qingxin, tired from teaching all day, and now heavily pregnant and sleepy, is already in bed by the time he returns each night.
Gu Qingxin is not sure why he is coming home late. She doesn't know if it's because of work, or if he's avoiding her.
Despite trying not to overthink things, his recent unusual behavior still made her uneasy.
Whenever Beiming Han comes home, Gu Qingxin is actually awake. Even if she has fallen asleep, her subconscious mind is always waiting for him.
Yet, even though she's awake, she continues to pretend to be asleep. Eventually, she falls asleep for real.
By the time she gets up the next morning, Beiming Han has already risen. Nowadays, the only time they see each other is at the breakfast table.
Recently, Gu Qingxin's morning sickness has worsened, but she tries to hide it from him. She asks Aunt Zhou to prepare light breakfast for her every day to help with this.
