Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Shower talks
"Finally." Kate and Tianci sighed in relief as they had been idle for almost all day.
---
"Hey honey, how's work today?" Leyan asked as she hung Xiaoyun's backpack onto the rack.
"Pretty much the same. Is everyone back yet?" Xiaoyun asked as Kate and Tianci rushed toward the kitchen.
"Yeah, we're just waiting for you to come back."
The two held hands as they walked to the kitchen.
"Finally, you are back home. What took you so long?" Yuqi asked curiously.
"Just needing to edit the last finishing touches to the war plan. It should be ready tomorrow." Xiaoyun replied as Leyan handed him a bowl of rice.
"What's the war plan? Is it different from the last one?" Wuli impatiently asked.
"I can't tell you that. You'll have to see it for yourself tomorrow... I would say it still follows a very similar plan." Xiaoyun gave a small hint.
"Blah, that's like saying nothing. Whatever."
As everyone began eating dinner, Nami decided to ask something.
"Are you going to the front line again?"
"Nope, I'll only be in the back with the reserved unit in case one of the units needs reinforcement... Hey, you aren't allowed to ask that." Xiaoyun realized he might have leaked too much information.
"Come on, Xiaoyun, we're your wives. Why would we leak anything? Do you not trust us?" Yueyue felt Xiaoyun was a little too sensitive again.
"I guess you're right. Maybe I can tell----"
"Ahem, no talking about work at the dining table." Leyan shifted the conversation away from work as the atmosphere became more awkward.
"I almost forgot. How was the lunch I packed for you today?" Leyan asked curiously.
"I love it. The food was amazing." Xiaoyun replied with a straight face.
"That's good to hear... H-How about the drink?" Leyan asked nervously.
"Uh, it's great. It tasted amazing." Xiaoyun finally flinched a little as he was just making it up on the spot.
"Okay, I'll keep doing it then."
Leyan's face started blushing as she remembered what she had done in the morning to fill the entire water bottle. But seeing Xiaoyun's face looking very happy reinforced her decision further.
Meanwhile, Kate and Tianci nervously looked at each other as if they were about to have a panic attack if Xiaoyun mentioned their name.
"Kate, are you okay?" Anna asked as she noticed Kate was shaking a little.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Kate quickly calmed herself back down.
Xiaoyun looked over the two and noticed their nervousness.
But he didn't think much of it as he thought they were just nervous because they didn't want Leyan to know they had eaten the lunch.
"Sister Leyan, can we watch a movie after?" Lily asked with excitement in her voice.
"Sure. It's not like there's other entertainment... Nami, can you put on a movie?"
---
After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa watching the movies.
"Why did we choose that movie trilogy?" Yuqi commented as the movie finally ended.
"Because almost everyone I knew watched it. Besides, you guys are the ones that voted for it." Nami pushed the responsibility back.
"I thought it was pretty good storytelling. He sacrifices everything for his wife, only for it to go the opposite of what he imagined. That's a twist I never expected." Leyan chimed in.
"Yeah. It's totally. Nobody could have seen that from a mile away, Mom. That was so obvious that it was going to happen. He thought the dark side could solve his problem. It was the dumbest choice I had seen." Yuqi argued.
"I thought the movie was fine. The fighting scenes are cool." Xiaoyun spoke up.
"Sure, just the fighting scenes that catch your eyes. Not somebody's eyes glued to some woman in a skimpy dress and being enslaved by aliens."
As Wuli pointed it out, Xiaoyun chuckled to hide the awkwardness.
"Not my fault that it's on the TV screen," Xiaoyun mumbled.
"Next time, we are not watching space movies. Anyone disagrees?" Yueyue suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"You guys are being too harsh at the movie. It's a very old movie that came out in the nineties. For it's time, it was groundbreaking." Kate argued.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. But we live in the modern day, so I will use the modern standard to judge it." Yuqi disregarded Kate's argument.
"Um, it's nine o'clock... We should probably sleep soon." Shuli suddenly spoke up to remind everyone about the time.
"Okay, a perfect time to leave it off. I'm going to take a shower. You guys want to come with me?" Leyan looked back at everyone as she got up from the sofa.
Everyone got up from the sofa as nobody had taken a shower yet.
"Um... Honey, can you use the bathroom outside?" Leyan asked as she noticed that Kate, Anna, Tianci, and Lily wanted to join.
"Sure, you guys can use the one in the bedroom." Xiaoyun went upstairs before anyone else could.

As Xiaoyun lay in the small bathtub alone, he started relaxing in the warm water.
"I wonder what they are doing in the shower..." Xiaoyun mumbled.
Meanwhile, in the other bathroom...
"Mrs.Leyan, how do you get such a big chest?" Lily curiously asked as hers was a flat plain.
"It's just genetic and your environment... If your mom had a big one, you would likely have it too." Leyan wasn't annoyed by Lily's question and answered it patiently.
"But why does sister Nami have such small ones?" Lily asked curiously.
"Um... it's also random sometimes. Besides, she still has time to grow, okay?
Also, don't say small in front of Nami, or she will hit you." Leyan quietly whispered.
"Okay, I won't tell her that... Oh, I think I remember what size my mom has. She's similar to sister Yueyue." Lily pointed over to Yueyue, who was still taking off her clothes.
"Then that's pretty good. Not too big and not too small is exactly what you wanted. Don't believe whatever men say, okay?"
Leyan jealously looked towards Yueyue as every step she had to take while naked was constantly straining her back a little. But she felt it was too odd to hold it up with her hands.
As the two walked towards the shower, Wuli, Shuli, and Tianci were already taking a shower.
"Hey, Leyan, you taking care of Lily?" Wuli asked curiously.
"Yeah, Nami is having a little difficulty removing her clothes, so Yuqi went to help," Leyan replied as she turned on the shower for Lily.
"Here's your showerhead, don't intentionally spray it at others, okay?" Leyan handed the detachable showerhead to Lily.
"Okay, I won't."
As Lily began taking a shower, Leyan turned on her showerhead and started showering.
"This place is so big... Who came up with the idea of having such a big shower?" Kate and Anna were in awe as they walked into the shower area.
"Yuqi came up with it. We also use a bathtub in the middle to relax later. You two wanna join?" Leyan asked.
"Sure, that sounds great."
Just as the two began showering, the three finally arrived.
"What took you three so long?" Leyan curiously asked.
"Nami said she felt something kicked in her belly. So we just waited until it stopped." Yuqi explained.
"That's impossible. Nami, you are only in your second trimester. Are you sure you are not just overthinking it?" Leyan asked.
"I don't know... Maybe you are right."
As everyone was taking a shower now, Kate couldn't help but notice Leyan and Yuqi were constantly readjusting their back a little, just like her and Anna.
"Do you guys have the same issue?" Kate curiously asked.
"Hm?" Everyone turned around and looked towards Kate.
"The back issue," Kate explained.
Everyone turned back to focus on taking a shower except Leyan and Yuqi.
"Yeah. It's hard for us to support them without wearing a bra..." Leyan mentioned.
"But since Xiaoyun loves them, we'll have to live with it." Yuqi shrugged.
"I see..."
Just as the two were about to turn around to focus back on taking a shower, Anna suddenly spoke up.
"Does getting pregnant make your breast bigger?" Anna curiously asked.
"Only slightly. Usually, it shrinks back slightly once the breastfeeding period ends." Leyan explained.
"Slightly is an understatement. Mom, I'm only two-thirds your size, and I remember that we were mostly equal before we gave birth." Yuqi pointed out.
"Well, if I'm already bigger than you, it's only going to make the gap bigger, you silly. Besides, I already got pregnant four times." Leyan instinctively reached her hand to pat Yuqi's head.
"Stop patting my head. I'm not a child." Yuqi pushed Leyan's hand away.
"You're always a child to me, no matter how old you are." Leyan looked down at Yuqi with a motherly look.
"Um... Mrs.Leyan, is childbirth painful?" Tianci chimed in and asked.
"Depends on person to person. Everyone is different. But for me, all five were pretty easy... If you want a hard example, Yuqi could explain it to you."
"Childbirth? Ha, I'd rather be shot than ever give birth again. That shit was the most painful thing I had experienced. I don't recommend it unless you are mentally prepared for it." Yuqi explained.
"Come on, it wasn't even that scary at all. Yuqi is fearmongering again. I was just like mom, and it went by super easily." Yueyue chimed in.
"I'm not fearmonger... My bottom frame is average, okay? If you want to see what's small, just look at Nami." Yuqi pointed at Nami.
As everyone's attention turned towards Nami, she felt insulted by Yuqi.
"S-Shut up. You brainless cow."
Nami tried to punch Yuqi in the chest, but Yuqi just held Nami's fist in place.
"Oh, is my little sister jealous? It's okay. You still have a chance to grow." Yuqi sarcastically replied.
"Okay, you two. No more playing around." Leyan separated the two from each other as everyone focused back on taking a shower.
