Chapter 472

Han Zhi held the two children in his arms like two infinitely precious, boneless little bundles, treading with extreme care inside the private room. All the muscles in his body were taut, and his arms were stiff, terrified that a single stumble might hurt the babies. Xiaoxigua was in the crook of his left arm, his little face scrunched up, emitting a weak, fretful whimper. His tiny fists unconsciously clenched and relaxed, and his little legs kicked feebly inside the swaddling clothes. Erxigua, in the crook of his right arm, was quieter, but her little head rested heavily in the curve of Han Zhi's shoulder. Her dark, glossy eyes were half-open and half-closed, gazing blankly into the void. Her tiny mouth twitched slightly, emitting a breathy sound resembling "mm-ah," seeming as though she might fall asleep at any moment, yet also as though she felt a slight unease due to the unfamiliar environment and scent.
