Chapter 198

"I..." Zhao Runze looked at the familiar face in front of him. Although he had never seen it in real life, he had recalled it countless times in his dreams.

He had thought it was just his own fantasy, but today he actually saw the real person.

Moreover, although the person in front of him was slightly different from the one in his dreams, her delicate and peerless beautiful features were no different at all.

It was just that she didn't have the perpetual frown on her face like in his dreams. Instead, she looked even more bright and charming.

"Zhi Xia..." An Zhiren came back with water and saw a strange man standing in front of his younger sister. He hurriedly called out and jogged over.

Zhao Runze also suddenly came back to his senses in panic, and after taking another look at Zhi Xia, he said "Sorry, wrong person." Then he turned around to leave.

At the moment he turned around, he was fully exposed in front of An Zhiren.

"Stop right there." An Zhiren reached out his hand to stop him. As soon as he opened his mouth, he started questioning, "It's you again. Today, you have to give me an honest explanation. What are you always asking about my family? Don't try to fool me, or I'll send you to the police station."

Zhao Runze looked at An Zhiren and slowly said, "Comrade, I really didn't intend to do anything. I just..." He looked back at Zhi Xia in confusion and murmured, "I may have mistaken her for someone else."

It was then that Zhi Xia stood up and walked over two steps, fully exposing her bulging belly.

"You're pregnant?" Zhao Runze had just been completely attracted by Zhi Xia's appearance and hadn't noticed her figure at all. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was actually pregnant and about to give birth soon.

"Yes." Zhi Xia smiled and moved closer to Zhao Runze. "Comrade, you were staring at me just now. Does the person I resemble happen to be someone you know?"

There was a momentary trance on Zhao Runze's face as he nodded, "Yes, very much alike. At first glance just now, I thought for a moment that I was looking at her, but your name is different from hers."

"It really is my honor then." Zhi Xia could feel he didn't have any malice and didn't mind his rudeness either. "Comrade, the world is so big that similarities happen from time to time. It's not strange for people to resemble each other. I hope you can find the person you are looking for soon." "Thank you." Zhao Runze said hurriedly, looking quite tangled, and struggled free from An Zhiren's grip on his arm. He staggered away in haste.

Only then did An Zhiren hand the water to Zhi Xia and said, "Little sister, this man is very strange. He came to our house to ask questions before..."

An Zhiren didn't know how to continue. According to the man, the person he had asked about wasn't Zhi Xia. But the woman he had described was clearly Zhi Xia.

Yet Zhi Xia was curious about what he would say next. "Second brother, what was he asking about?"

"He was asking about a woman named An Meixia." An Zhiren felt puzzled too. Although their family did have someone named An Meiyun before, there certainly wasn't any An Meixia.

However, Zhi Xia's heart lurched upon hearing that.

An Meixia - that was her name in her first life when no one had transmigrated yet.

At the beginning, An Jingzhi had also given her that name, but she had rejected it in this life and used the name An Zhi Xia that her fourth brother had picked instead.

Afterwards, An Jingzhi never mentioned those three words again. So apart from her fourth brother, none of her other three brothers in the An family knew about it.

How did that man just now know about An Meixia?

Could he be a transmigrator too?

Zhi Xia suddenly felt very confused, unable to figure out what exactly was going on in this world. Why were there so many strange existences?

Or perhaps it was related to her, after all, transmigration was already considered strange in the eyes of normal people.

Zhi Xia drank some water to forcibly suppress the uneasiness in her heart.

An ZhiXian had also gotten off work and came over excitedly to find them. After eating lunch together, he still felt that Zhi Xia was a little absent-minded.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" An ZhiXian asked worriedly, "Are you too tired? You don't seem to have much energy?"

Zhi Xia nodded accordingly. "Yes, I'm a little tired. Second brother, third brother, I want to go home and rest for a while."

"Then second brother should take you back quickly. If you feel uncomfortable, let us know right away. Don't force yourself," said An ZhiXian. Then he looked at An Zhiren and urged, "Little sister is pregnant with multiples. Now that she is in late pregnancy with a heavy body, it's normal for her to get tired easily. Whoever has time should help keep an eye on her and not let her get too exhausted." An Zhiren solemnly agreed and took Zhi Xia home.

Zhi Xia really was a little tired, especially with something weighing down on her mind.

After getting home, she dealt with her two children briefly and then went back to her room.

An Zhiren coaxed the two little ones, "ChenYe, Wanqing, your mom needs plenty of rest now as her body gets tired easily. Let's be considerate of her and give her time to rest. What do you think about coming to uncle's house to play?"

Pei ChenYe and Pei Wanqing looked at each other. "Is it because if we go to uncle's house, mom can rest well and won't be tired anymore?"

"That's right." An Zhiren coaxed them, "Look, if you are at home, mom has to take care of you - washing your face, brushing your teeth, dressing you up, playing with you... Of course she is willing to do all that, but we should also understand how difficult it is for mom now? She has three babies in her belly. Very tiring, isn't it? We should be more considerate of her and let her rest more. Don't you think I'm right?"

Although it was that brother who had helped wash their faces and brush their teeth in the morning, Wanqing still remembered that she couldn't dress herself. And ChenYe remembered wetting the bed.

Mom was hanging the bedsheet up to dry with her big belly. She seemed to have used a lot of effort just to flip the sheet onto the clothesline.

They suddenly felt so useless.

Pei ChenYe held his sister's hand. Although unhappy, he still said, "Then let's go to uncle's house."

"ChenYe and Wanqing are so good." An Zhiren praised. "Then uncle will help pack your clothes. Stay at uncle's house for a few days before coming back, okay? Wen Qing brother misses you too and looks forward to playing with you."

Listening to him coaxing the children, concern flashed through Pei's eyes.

When he finally got a chance, he asked An Zhiren, "Zhiren, just give it to me straight. Is there something wrong with Zhi Xia's health?"

"No." An Zhiren sighed. "Grandpa Pei, I know what you're worried about, but I won't lie to the children. Zhi Xia bears a heavy burden now. The most important thing is for her to recuperate well. It just so happens that I, my dad and sister-in-law are all on winter break now. Big brother is at home too. There will be people to look after the children even if they come over, so don't worry."

"As long as she's fine, I won't worry. You can bring the kids over first and send them back if they can't adapt." Pei said, relieved.

Zhi Xia knew An Zhiren was going to take the children to the An family to be cared for. Seeing both children agree, she also did not object and briskly packed their clothes.

Back when she took care of the two children in the army, it was good to have Pei Jing's help at night. He would take over whatever he could so she didn't have to lift a finger.

But now he was not here. There was no one who could help with the housework, not to mention taking care of two children who were unwilling to go out and make new friends in an unfamiliar place. It definitely required adults to accompany them in play every day, which was indeed very tiring.

At this time, having someone to help take care of them was just what she needed.
