Chapter 662 - 692: The Space Has Shrunk

As for the two little ones, despite the ordeal she had been through, Qin Jiao was already producing milk. Her body’s excellent condition was all thanks to drinking the Spiritual Spring Water over the years.

And this time, she owed her safe delivery to the protection of the space.

Qin Jiao said softly, "Thank you."

Xiao Shi hesitated for a moment, then said quietly, "Sis, this house has gotten smaller. The yard is gone, too. All that’s left is an area the size of a balcony and a well."

"What?"

Qin Jiao froze, looking around.

She had been in this bedroom on the first floor the whole time. When the space shrank, she was in the middle of giving birth and had no idea.

After waking up, Qin Jiao had felt that something was off, but she was so weak that it didn’t immediately register.

Now, hearing what Xiao Shi said, she fell silent.

Back when she and Shen Yi first got together, as their relationship deepened, the space had also grown larger, and the yard had expanded with it.

How to describe it... It was as if the space itself was overjoyed, watching their love for each other grow.

But this time, giving birth to twins under these circumstances should have been a brush with death... yet she and the babies had both survived.

Looking at the space, now shrunk down to just one bedroom, a living room, and a balcony, Qin Jiao’s nose tingled with the urge to cry.

’Could it be that the space had consumed its own life force to save me and the children?’

There was no use dwelling on it now. She would have to wait until she recovered to properly investigate the space’s secrets. When Qin Jiao felt a little stronger, she urged Xiao Shi to get some rest as well.

And so, after they had spent five days in the space, Qin Jiao’s energy finally returned a little. And then, she heard Shen Yi’s voice again.

Qin Jiao put on a thick down jacket and a hat. She and Xiao Shi each held a swaddled baby, and then they left the space together.

Then she saw Shen Yi. His eyes were red-rimmed, his chin covered in stubble. The moment he saw her, tears actually started to fall.

In Qin Jiao’s memory, Shen Yi was the type to bleed before he’d cry. It was truly difficult to make him shed a tear.

But now, with Xiao Shi standing right there, Shen Yi walked over with tears streaming down his face. He desperately wanted to pull Qin Jiao into his arms, but when he saw the babies in their swaddling, he froze, completely dumbfounded.

"Jiao Jiao, I’m sorry. I should have come home earlier that day!"

"It’s alright, it’s all in the past. We can talk about everything else later. For now, just take us home, then find a way to get a doctor to come check on me and the babies."

Thanks to the Spiritual Spring Water, Qin Jiao’s body was recovering even faster than that of an average new mother. But the birth had still taken a heavy toll, and she hadn’t rested well these past few days. She needed a check-up to be sure she wouldn’t have any lingering health issues.

Shen Yi nodded quickly. He turned to Xiao Shi and gave her a deep, solemn bow.

"Xiao Shi, thank you!"

Xiao Shi was exhausted from the past few days. She had just let out a yawn when she saw Shen Yi’s gesture and quickly said, "Brother-in-law, you don’t have to do that. It was the least I could do!"

There was no need for more words. Shen Yi quickly helped Qin Jiao and the children into the car and started driving steadily toward home.

Shen Yi said, "I told Mom and the others that you two managed to escape and were probably hiding somewhere safe nearby. I said you’d be back after a while."

Though the story had plenty of holes, it would be enough to reassure Su Yun and Qin Zhonghui for the time being.

Qin Jiao held her baby and nodded. "By the way, what about Shen Feng, Lin Nian, and Lu Jiuan?"
