CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 53 EGG ROLL_2

His temple twitched uncontrollably, and Ke Lian already had a bad feeling in his heart. When he glanced over with a sharp gaze, he caught sight of Chen Yin dozing off with rolled-back eyes next to his wife on the sofa across from him.

Ke Lian: ...

Considering Chen Yin was half a brother-in-law, sitting next to Du Xixi, Ke Lian tolerated it. He tolerated his drowsiness as well. But for the white-eyed rolling... he had to bear it, for he couldn’t question a sleep-deprived person whose consciousness was already unclear, could he?

It’s perfectly normal for someone falling asleep but trying hard to stay awake to roll their eyes.

"Ke Lian, you finished exercising?" Du Xixi rubbed her pregnant belly, struggling a bit to get up from the sofa. Mo Ying, nearby, wanted to reach out to help, but Ke Lian took a big stride and was the first to assist Du Xixi.

"Just sit down, don’t hurt yourself." At this moment, worried about Du Xixi, Ke Lian didn’t have time to think about whether his sweat smell would bother Du Xixi. He just focused on getting Du Xixi to sit down again.

Ke Lian had always been collecting information on what pregnant mothers should pay attention to. He found that many pregnant mothers of twins or even multiple births often had big bellies during pregnancy without proper care, leading to frequent lower back pain and leg aches later.

Though Du Xixi was pregnant with twins, they were noticeably larger than typical twins, already comparable to triplets at four or five months. So, Ke Lian always paid close attention to Du Xixi’s waist, fearing a large belly would actually harm her.

Du Xixi could only helplessly sit back down just as she was about to stand up. Although her big belly was inconvenient, she rarely had lower back pain or leg aches. But Ke Lian cared for her so much that she couldn’t refuse, so she softly said, "Ask 2569 to make a few more dishes; my brother is a bit tired."

"You never ask 2569 to make more dishes when I’m tired!" Ke Lian, somewhat displeased, pouted. Seeing Du Xixi’s legs move uncomfortably, he kneeled and massaged her legs in this position.

"Why are you always jealous of my brother!" Du Xixi, slightly annoyed, tapped Ke Lian’s forehead, but it was just for show, not with force. "When you’re tired, you don’t need 2569. Haven’t I always cooked for you myself?"

Upon thinking about it, Ke Lian realized that when he was particularly exhausted, it was indeed Du Xixi who personally cooked for him. He smiled happily and slowly stood up, saying, "Okay, I’ll tell 2569. You sit and rest well."

With that, Ke Lian saw Du Xixi nodding with a smile. He then went to the garden to instruct 2569 before grabbing a towel and heading upstairs to shower and change clothes.

Chen Yin was indeed tired. He didn’t even notice much when Ke Lian walked by, but his head was sinking lower and lower as if he would fall asleep right there.

Sitting like this wasn’t comfortable for sleeping and was bad for the neck. Du Xixi nudged Chen Yin and saw him drowsily open his eyes. She softly advised, "Brother, lie down and sleep for a bit. I’ll call you when it’s time to eat."

Beside them was a two-seater sofa, though quite cramped for Chen Yin, who was well over six feet tall, it was still better than sitting continuously.

Chen Yin nodded, slowly got up, slowly stepped towards the two-seater sofa, and then suddenly plopped down, with the lower half of his body dangling off the sofa edge.

Du Xixi helplessly rubbed her temples, thinking it’s lucky her brother landed on the soft sofa cushion. If he mistakenly fell in the wrong direction, that handsome face might have suffered quite a bit of injury.

This lunch wasn’t enjoyed much; Mo Ying and Ye Wenting initially planned to catch lunch before leaving but were called back by the Mo Family parents for an urgent matter.

Though it wasn’t anything important, the lunch was ultimately missed by them. As Du Xixi and Ke Lian saw them off, they could still see Mo Ying clinging to Ye Wenting’s arm, lamenting, "I feel so regretful."

With two fewer for lunch, and Chen Yin only thinking "I want to sleep," he barely took a few bites before wanting to slump over the dining table. Du Xixi quickly asked 2569 to help Chen Yin upstairs to rest.

In the blink of an eye, the table full of food was left for Du Xixi, Ke Lian, and Ke Xing to enjoy.
