MORIC - Chapter 155
Chapter 155: Let's Just Go Home to Give Birth
It was unclear what kind of dream Chi Yueshan was having. Not only was she covered in sweat, but her grief and indignation were so real that it made Xi Zhoumeng almost suspect herself.
Of really having an affair.
But with the outsider, Xuan Rujia, present, she couldn't act as she usually did in private.
Chi Yueshan looked at Xuan Rujia again and asked in a low voice, "Did she save you?"
She could only answer seriously, "What are you thinking about?"
Xuan Rujia also almost laughed out loud. When Chi Yueshan was asleep before, she hadn't looked closely, only feeling that this girl looked young. Now that the other had woken up, her eyes were extremely beautiful. She even had naturally green eyelashes, and they were so clear and lively that one couldn't help but look twice, as if one could be infected by her innate vitality.
Xuan Rujia answered for Xi Zhoumeng, "Yes. When I found her, she was still injured."
This pair seemed so mysterious. One had amnesia yet stubbornly believed she was married, searching for her wife all over the world.
The other was pregnant yet dared to ride a bicycle against traffic in a storm, riding with a flair of "till the end of time, through life and death together."
They both seemed very stubborn.
Chi Yueshan's whole body felt soft and weak. This was probably the first time in her life she had ever felt so powerless.
But now she had someone to rely on and could openly and righteously laze around in Xi Zhoumeng's arms, being someone who didn't have to pretend to be strong.
But hearing Xuan Rujia's words, Chi Yueshan still decided to try and sit up a little straighter. But just as she tried to get up, she was pulled back into Xi Zhoumeng's embrace the next second.
Chi Yueshan: "Thank you for saving her."
She actually felt very guilty. In fact, back then, if she hadn't suddenly turned back, maybe Xi Zhoumeng wouldn't have been pierced by the Zerg's limb.
This Xi Zhoumeng always pretended to be weak, but at critical moments, she was very impressive, making me look like the one holding her back instead.
Hmph! I'm not!
Her mecha... this time, it absolutely must be me who repairs it!!
Xuan Rujia could tell that these two were a bit secretive.
Could they be from some legendary great family? A female version of Romeo and Juliet?
That would be too vicious. It wouldn't go so far as hurting people and using poison, would it?
Xuan Rujia: "You're welcome, I..."
Xi Zhoumeng interrupted her, "Is there anything else? If not, you can go."
"Send a copy of the schedule to my email. I'll finish the work you hired me for."
Even when repaying a favor as a worker, she was still bossy, completely lacking the humility of a laborer.
It made it seem like Xuan Rujia was the one working for her.
Xuan Rujia was speechless, thinking to herself, "Good thing I turned back in time, or it would have been even more awkward."
With this kind of person, you'd be letting yourself down if you didn't exploit her.
She left with heavy steps; it was unclear if it was out of anger.
Chi Yueshan: "Can't you speak nicely?"
She leaned in Xi Zhoumeng's arms. Her frame was already small, which wasn't obvious when she was with a bunch of other Omegas at the academy.
But Xi Zhoumeng was originally an Alpha, tall with a large frame. When they hugged, it easily gave Chi Yueshan the feeling that she could be completely enveloped.
Xi Zhoumeng: "Wasn't I speaking nicely? You're so strict with me."
Chi Yueshan reached out to touch her abdomen. Her hand had just slipped under the hem of Xi Zhoumeng's clothes when it was caught.
Xi Zhoumeng sighed very heavily, "Lust hurts the body, little sister."
Chi Yueshan: "That's not what I meant!"
She was flustered, and the words came out without thinking: "What lust! You didn't even use any force!"
Xi Zhoumeng went "Wow~": "So you really do like it that rough. But I'm pure as jade, with a heart of orchid, and a delicate, soft body. I'm not rough at all, am I?"
How can someone be so shameless.
So shameless, she was one of a kind. So roguish that Chi Yueshan almost wanted to laugh.
She giggled out loud and gave Xi Zhoumeng a light punch, "I do not!"
Xi Zhoumeng held her as they lay together on the hospital bed. Chi Yueshan's IV drip was finished, and there was still a hemostatic sticker on the back of her hand. Xi Zhoumeng's finger traced the edge of the sticker while saying with heartache, "Have you had a prenatal check-up before? Over four months, my treasure. Although your belly isn't that big, you were still riding a bicycle in a storm?"
Xi Zhoumeng hugged Chi Yueshan from behind and took a deep breath, "You scared me to death."
The person who once single-mindedly sought death was now saying she was scared to death.
Holding Chi Yueshan, she understood for the first time the joy of recovering something that was lost.
Even though she had been in a state of amnesia before, remembering everything brought back all the panic and fear.
Chi Yueshan mumbled, "I have blood from the M-Galaxy, my body is very strong."
Not sure what she thought of, she mumbled again, "Didn't you praise me the same way when you marked me and told me not to cry?"
Xi Zhoumeng: "You weren't carrying one in your belly back then."
After she spoke, her tone became annoyed again, "It's growing too fast. Getting pregnant here can be quite an effort, I don't know how many times it takes..."
Chi Yueshan: "What are you regretting?"
Xi Zhoumeng's light laugh sprayed against Chi Yueshan's ear. Chi Yueshan flinched and shrank even more forcefully into Xi Zhoumeng's embrace.
Chi Yueshan: "I know you don't like children, but I like them a lot."
She knew her own body well. When she went for a prenatal check-up in this world, the doctor thought she had been deceived and tactfully asked if Chi Yueshan wanted to terminate the pregnancy.
After all, for the long-term future, an extra child is a burden, not a worthwhile trade-off in any way.
But Chi Yueshan liked it very much.
She had been lonely for too long. Ever since she was little, any precious affection she found would eventually fade away.
There were hardly any small animals in the lower district to begin with. Dirty and messy places only grew bugs; even things like rats were rare.
Let alone small pets.
Chi Yueshan had made many mechanical treasures, but unfortunately, even the most perfectly programmed AI couldn't replace a living creature with warmth.
Nor could it replace human hugs, kisses, and caresses.
She wanted companionship so badly, yet she wouldn't admit she was lonely.
Because people are born lonely, she didn't feel that she was very bitter or pitiful.
She just felt that this little thing she had, developing inside her body, even if Xi Zhoumeng didn't like it, she herself would.
When she said this, her voice was tinged with tears, catching Xi Zhoumeng completely off guard for a moment.
Xi Zhoumeng: "That's not what I meant."
It wasn't as if they hadn't discussed this issue before, on that rainy dusk, in the continuous drizzle, amidst the blooming...
...accompanied by hugs, kisses, and sex.
It was the future envisioned by two lonely people.
But no matter what preparations were made, the future was still unpredictable.
After all, there is no predetermined future. Just because a death is written in a book doesn't mean it must be experienced.
There's no rule that says just because I was lonely in my last life, I'm destined to be lonely in this one.
The word "future" itself implies rewriting.
People are constantly changing, and Xi Zhoumeng had changed too.
She had changed from a cold jade stone to a warm, soft jade. At this moment, she gently rubbed Chi Yueshan, placing one hand on the back of Chi Yueshan's left hand, and...
...together with Chi Yueshan, felt this sudden new life.
"I admit I don't like children. If I had to choose, between you and the child, I would definitely choose you."
Xi Zhoumeng's voice was very soft. Chi Yueshan sniffled, "What era is this? Still talking about saving the mother or the child? You old feudalist."
For the first time, Xi Zhoumeng didn't retort.
She said quietly, "After all, you are the most important."
Chi Yueshan: "I like it to be lively."
Chi Yueshan: "I also know you dislike children. Let's not even talk about adoption, it's completely impossible."
Xi Zhoumeng wasn't even attentive when raising sheep, giving them random names. If the sheep had a brain and knew it was called 'Niuniu,' it would probably die of anger.
"Actually, when you told me our compatibility rate was one hundred percent, I was really looking forward to the marking."
It felt very painful, but after the pain came endless pleasure. The feeling of completely merging with the other person was wonderful.
Although it was cowardly to think this way, Chi Yueshan still felt like she had managed to hold on to Xi Zhoumeng.
Xi Zhoumeng was a kite. For Chi Yueshan to hold her in her hand, she needed a string.
And she knew that if Xi Zhoumeng was unwilling, she couldn't be caught at all.
It was a sure thing. She loved seeing this person look defeated and helpless but have to accept it.
Not because she was forced, but because she became soft for me, willingly falling into this bustling mortal world for me.
"What are you thinking about?"
Chi Yueshan sighed, and under Xi Zhoumeng's worried gaze, she easily turned over and hugged Xi Zhoumeng's waist.
"You'll definitely be a very good mother. After all, we both know what a child needs to grow up."
Chi Yueshan was like a natural luminous body. Even though Xi Zhoumeng firmly believed that everyone has a dark side, from the time she met Chi Yueshan until now,
from feigned familiarity to true intimacy, she had never sensed a trace of darkness in this person.
She was the real heaven-sent treasure, more dazzling than sunlight and gentler than moonlight.
She had the tolerance of a ten-thousand-year-old rooted tree. She was the fir tree in the pond, colluding with the moonlight, luring Xi Zhoumeng.
Arousing her desire for the future.
Xi Zhoumeng: "I don't have money."
Chi Yueshan: "They can grow up without money."
Xi Zhoumeng: "If we lack money, we'll have to work. That's too hard."
Chi Yueshan: "Yes, it's not hard if you have money. Money has made you lazy."
Seriously, every time I want to have a sentimental moment, this person always ruins it.
So annoying.
Did you even listen to what I said?
The next second, her forehead was kissed. Xi Zhoumeng sighed, "Then you have to teach me."
She was rarely this helpless, "I don't know how to love..."
"...my child."
Just as Chi Yueshan was about to say something, Xi Zhoumeng got annoyed again.
"Why should I love her? Loving you is enough."
Chi Yueshan just wanted to pinch her waist, but this time she was caught by Xi Zhoumeng, "Yueshan..."
She rarely called Chi Yueshan's name so seriously. Usually, it was her full name.
Only during intimate moments would she shamelessly spout things like 'darling,' 'treasure,' 'sweetheart,' and the like.
Making the Chi Yueshan of that time unable to tell if she was feeling pleasure or just cringing from the cheesiness.
Chi Yueshan: "What?"
Xi Zhoumeng: "Your physical indicators haven't reached the level where you can be discharged from the hospital yet. You need to rest and recover first."
Chi Yueshan: "So? What are you going to do behind my back?"
Xi Zhoumeng reached out and brushed aside her bangs, "I'm going to earn money for baby formula."
Her eyes were clear and bright. Even with a bare face, she was beautiful enough to stun Chi Yueshan.
Some people know they are good-looking but don't have a greasy, narcissistic air about them; instead, they push their luck with flirtatious words.
"Aren't you going to show some appreciation?"
Chi Yueshan snorted, "You said you had no energy and didn't want to move. Well, I don't want to move either."
Her hand took the opportunity to touch Xi Zhoumeng's abdomen. The last time had been too rushed; the joy of their long-awaited reunion had left Chi Yueshan no time to look closely.
This time, she got a good feel. The wound from being pierced through had left a scar after healing.
Xi Zhoumeng, who loves beauty so much.
Chi Yueshan sniffled. Xi Zhoumeng said, "Our hometown may have disgusting things like the Zerg, but the medical aesthetics are really amazing."
Xi Zhoumeng sighed, "Particle scar removal leaves no trace, and you can even operate it yourself."
Chi Yueshan: ...
Xi Zhoumeng: "Same for giving birth. Don't have the baby here, the technology isn't good. It's better to go home. At least the conditions there are good, it won't let you suffer pain... But this kind of thing, it's always..."
She lowered her eyes again and said, "Sorry."
Chi Yueshan: "But isn't this place your hometown?"
Her eyes were filled with curiosity, as well as concern for Xi Zhoumeng.
Like the shimmering light on a pond touched by the sun, Chi Yueshan could always make Xi Zhoumeng's heart infinitely soft.
Xi Zhoumeng: "I've said it before, you forgot."
Chi Yueshan: "What?"
Xi Zhoumeng very naturally put on a clingy attitude and said, "Wherever you are, I will be."
"Home is the same."
