Axiang thought to herself that this silly lump was truly foolish; they had shared a bed for so many days, yet he hadn't even embraced her or anything. It was as if he really regarded his wife as merely a person to sleep with.
"Silly Lump, do you ever think about... wanting a little baby?" Axiang asked.
It was just the two of them in the house, and it was nighttime; she had nothing left to fear.
Silly Lump thought of children and immediately beamed with joy; he too wanted to have a child. Grandmother had said that sleeping together would result in children, and he had been looking forward to the day when Axiang's belly would swell.
"So we should have a child?" Silly Lump said.
Axiang thought to herself, to have a child, you don't take initiative, and you're waiting for me to make the first move?
"Silly Lump, to have a child, you need to take off your clothes, do you know that?" Axiang asked again.
