Chapter 32: A Bold Idea About Feng Qizhou
Xue Yu thought that Mo Li must be hungry after his long journey. She said, “You wait here. I’ll go get you something to eat.”
The food in the training grounds was free and available until ten at night. It was only a little past eight now, so she could still get food.
Before Mo Li could say anything, Xue Yu had already run off.
She ran to the cafeteria and got rice, bread, canned beef, canned vegetables, and milk. Her hands were almost full.
The cafeteria auntie shouted from behind, “All you do is eat all day! If you dare to waste any, you’re finished!”
Xue Yu ran out with the food. “I won’t waste it! I’ll eat it all!”
When she returned to the poolside, Mo Li was still there.
She placed all the food in front of Mo Li. “Hurry up and eat. The canned beef here is delicious. It’s the best I’ve ever had.”
Mo Li opened the canned beef, scooped out a mouthful of meat with a spoon, and brought it to her mouth. “You eat too.”
Xue Yu opened her mouth and took the meat from the spoon, chewing and swallowing it. “You eat. You should eat more. You’re one person but you’re also nourishing two children. The children need nutrition too.”
Mo Li raised an eyebrow at her. “How do you know it’s two children?”
He had only found out he was pregnant with twins when he had a prenatal check-up in the South Continent, but he had never told Xue Yu.
Xue Yu told him about the reproduction tree in her spiritual landscape.
Mo Li’s eating paused slightly. “So many children.”
Xue Yu: “After the children are born, as long as they grow, my spiritual power will increase. My physical fitness will improve by leaps and bounds. After I participate in the promotion competition, I probably won’t have to be a small miner anymore. Then I can earn more money to support the children.”
“So many children…” Mo Li buried his head in his food again.
Xue Yu pretended to be relaxed. “It’s not that many. Only five. I can handle it. Trust me.”
Mo Li still kept his head down. “So many men…”
Xue Yu still looked confident. “It’s not that many. Only three. I can handle it. Trust me.”
Mo Li finally looked up. His face was covered in black and green camouflage paint, making his eyes extremely bright, the whites and blacks distinct, and moist.
Xue Yu awkwardly touched her head and laughed twice. “I mean, I will be responsible for the fruits I have planted.”
After Mo Li finished eating, the two of them cleaned up the trash and sat by the poolside.
The moonlight was bright tonight, its shimmering light sprinkled on the water’s surface. The wind from all directions rushed over the water, carrying a layer of moist, hot steam.
Suddenly, Xue Yu’s nerves were assaulted by waves of pleasure, sometimes slow, sometimes fast.
Her face and neck instantly turned red. Only then did she realize that Blueberry and Mo Li’s blue-ringed octopus had been in the water all this time and had never come out.
Mo Li clearly also felt the surge from the “spiritual intercourse.” He grabbed Xue Yu’s hand, his body trembling violently.
“Are you being electrocuted?” Xue Yu asked with concern.
Mo Li: “You know?”
Xue Yu: “Zhou Siyan told me that members of the extreme sexual conservatives have a chip in their bodies. If their desire becomes strong and they don’t inject a suppressant in time, they will be electrocuted.”
She stood up, her face red. “You should inject the suppressant quickly. I’ll go down and get Blueberry. That damn Blueberry, always messing around. I’m going to beat it to death!”
Mo Li didn’t look for the suppressant in his bag but held onto Xue Yu’s hand. “No need. Xiaoxue misses Blueberry very much. Let them be for a while.”
“But you’ll be electrocuted,” Xue Yu said anxiously.
Mo Li jumped into the water first, then turned to her with open arms. “It’s fine. Let’s go to the deep water area. The chip releases electricity based on body temperature and blood flow. If we go to the deep water area, the chip won’t be able to detect the changes in my body.”
Xue Yu hesitated, afraid that Mo Li would be injured by the electricity.
In the water, Mo Li maintained his open-armed posture towards her. “Come down, Xue Yu.”
Xue Yu jumped in. Mo Li caught her accurately, held her hand tightly, and swam towards the deep water area.
Xue Yu’s hand was held very tightly. She could feel Mo Li’s strong fingers. His fingers were longer and stronger than the average person’s, and there was a faint suction force, like the tentacles of an octopus, firmly locking her five fingers.
At first, Xue Yu could feel a slight electric current from Mo Li’s body transferring to her.
However, the deeper they went, the stronger the water pressure, and she could no longer feel the current.
Mo Li had trained here many times before and was very familiar with the underwater terrain. He led Xue Yu to the back of a coral reef in the deepest part of the deep water area.
Are you okay? Xue Yu gestured to him.
Mo Li indicated that he was fine and also gestured to her: Can you handle the water pressure here?
Xue Yu indicated that she could.
Mo Li held her, and the two of them embraced under the high pressure of the deep water, holding each other tighter and tighter.
The water here was very dark. Xue Yu looked over Mo Li’s shoulder and saw Blueberry and Xiaoxue not far away.
The scales on Blueberry’s body glowed faintly. The blue-ringed octopus was much larger underwater than on land. Its tentacles were like complex vines, tightly wrapped around Blueberry, constantly writhing, constantly clinging…
Xue Yu closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Mo Li’s waist and back.
She could feel Mo Li’s slightly trembling body, his chest rising and falling violently. He lowered his head and buried his face in her neck.
Xue Yu could clearly feel Mo Li’s bobbing Adam’s apple constantly rubbing against her neck. Even under the deep water, it felt itchy.
The two of them quietly felt the spiritual intercourse from their brainwaves, quietly embracing, like two mating fish.
An hour later, Blueberry and Xiaoxue finally separated.
Blueberry swam over to Xue Yu on its own, flicked its caudal fin arrogantly twice, and communicated with Xue Yu through telepathy: If you can catch me, I’ll let you hit me!
Xue Yu was angry. She broke free from Mo Li’s embrace and chased after Blueberry in a huff.
When she finally surfaced, Xue Yu had caught Blueberry.
The blue-ringed octopus also quickly chased after them, its long tentacles wrapping around Xue Yu’s hand, looking at her with pleading eyes, as if begging for mercy: Don’t hit it, please!
Xue Yu patted Blueberry a couple of times, swam to the shore, propped herself up on the edge of the pool, and jumped out to sit on the bank.
Mo Li also came up. The tips of his ears were so red they looked like they were about to drip blood. He lowered his head and packed his bag.
Xue Yu saw several messages pop up on her Cloud Sound Box. They were all from Zhou Siyan and Feng Qizhou.
Zhou Siyan: Still training? Come to Feng Qizhou’s clinic after you’re done. We need to talk.
Zhou Siyan: Are you that busy? Please reply when you see this message.
Zhou Siyan: Pay attention to me and the baby.
(Attached was a photo of Xue Xiaohai sitting on a desk, chewing her fingers.)
Feng Qizhou: Come to my clinic after you’re done training.
Feng Qizhou: Please reply upon receipt.
Feng Qizhou: If you don’t want me and the two babies, please say so directly.
Xue Yu hurriedly replied to both of them: I’m coming right away!
She called Zhou Siyan and told him that Mo Li had returned, saying that she wanted everyone to discuss how to raise the children together.
Zhou Siyan was a little surprised that Mo Li had returned so quickly but didn’t ask much, just telling Xue Yu to come up quickly.
He also instructed her that if anyone asked on the way, she should say that she was here to see Feng Qizhou for a consultation.
After hanging up, Xue Yu squatted down and packed her things with Mo Li. “Mo Li, let’s go to Feng Qizhou’s clinic. We can all discuss what to do in the future.”
Mo Li didn’t speak, seeming to not want to have too much contact with Zhou Siyan and Feng Qizhou.
Xue Yu said, “If we’re going to raise children in the future, we have to help each other. And when you give birth, you’ll still need to find Feng Qizhou to perform the surgery. You can’t just not talk to them, right?”
Mo Li finally agreed to go up with Xue Yu.
The two of them went to the Manster Building, took the elevator to the hospital on the 230th floor, and went to Feng Qizhou’s clinic in Area A.
They knocked on the door, and Feng Qizhou came to open it.
Xue Yu and Mo Li walked in.
They saw Xue Xiaohai sitting on Feng Qizhou’s desk, playing with a folder. Zhou Siyan was standing by, protecting her.
The other child was no longer in the temperature-controlled box but was also lying on the desk, her two hands flailing, playing with Xue Xiaohai’s little seahorse spirit body.
After the door was locked, Xue Yu walked over to the children.
The two children’s heads immediately turned towards her.
“Mommy!” Xue Xiaohai crawled towards Xue Yu with strong legs.
Xue Yu held her hand. “Mommy’s clothes are wet. I can’t hold you. Xiaohai, be good.”
She then kissed the other child and held out her index finger for her to hold.
Feng Qizhou stood to the side and asked, “Why are your clothes wet?”
Xue Yu’s cheeks turned uncontrollably red. “I was training. I was training with Blueberry in the pool. As soon as I got out and saw your messages, I came over without even changing my clothes.”
Feng Qizhou’s sharp gaze shifted to Mo Li. “Why are his wet too?”
Xue Yu’s eyes darted around. “He was training too.”
Feng Qizhou seemed to have seen through something and smiled faintly. He walked over and rubbed Xue Yu’s red earlobe. “The one surnamed Zhou and I are not dead yet.”
Xue Yu slapped his hand away. “It was Blueberry! You know Blueberry!”
Feng Qizhou heard his arctic fox let out a rough pant and turned to look.
On the hospital bed to the side, Blueberry and Cake were already entangled and playing.
Blueberry’s face was full of satisfaction. The arctic fox’s fluffy tail was wrapped around it, and it was foolishly licking Blueberry’s caudal fin.
Feng Qizhou said, “A spirit body is a reflection of its master’s spiritual world. What you are, your spirit body is.”
Xue Yu walked over and picked up Blueberry, holding it tightly in her arms. Only then did she change the subject:
“By the way, I brought Mo Li here to see you.”
“Mo Li even brought gifts for your children. He’s very thoughtful.”
Mo Li took off his backpack, took out three sets of clothes from the bag, and placed them on the desk with a blank expression.
His expression was stern, his eyes cold, as if he were placing a dagger on the table for an enemy to commit suicide.
Zhou Siyan picked up the clothes and glanced at them, then nodded slightly at Mo Li. “Thank you.”
Mo Li didn’t respond.
Xue Yu said, “Alright, alright, it’s not easy for us to get together. Let’s hurry up and discuss how to raise the children in the future.”
Zhou Siyan first said to Feng Qizhou, “Find a clean set of clothes for Xue Yu to change into.”
“Are you ordering me around now?”
Feng Qizhou shrugged, walked over to a cabinet, opened it, found an unopened set of casual clothes, and threw them to Xue Yu. “Wear these. They’re my clothes. I keep them here for occasional changes.”
He rummaged through it again and found a new set of hospital gowns and threw them to Mo Li. “You wear these.”
Mo Li didn’t take them. “The ones I’m wearing are quick-drying. They’ll be dry soon.”
Feng Qizhou: “It’s not good for your body to always wear quick-drying clothes, and it’s not good for the child either.”
Only then did Mo Li take them.
Xue Yu and Mo Li each went behind a curtain to change before coming out.
After changing into dry clothes, Xue Yu went over to pick up Xue Xiaohai and the other child.
She sat on a sofa to the side, with a child in each arm. Her innocent, dark eyes looked back and forth between the three men, like a naive little puppy.
Feng Qizhou couldn’t help but touch Xue Yu’s face with the back of his hand. “What a pitiful, honest child. In her early twenties, and she’s already knocked up three men. She hasn’t even figured out her own life, and she has five children.”
Xue Yu tilted her head to avoid his hand. “Don’t say such things. We’re having a meeting.”
Zhou Siyan cleared his throat and was the first to state his position. “Since it has come to this, we can’t stuff the children back in. If you are unwilling to raise them, you can give them to me. I will be responsible.”
Feng Qizhou: “I will raise my own children. And I have decided, I want both of them.”
Mo Li’s voice was cold. “I also have two children, and I have decided to keep both of them.”
Zhou Siyan: “Raising children in the White Tower is not an easy task. I want to ask, are you all willing to cooperate? If we encounter danger, are you all willing to protect all the children and help take care of them?”
Feng Qizhou nodded. “I can. But let me say this first. When I’m taking care of them, I will definitely favor my own children.”
Mo Li: “I will put my own children first.”
Xue Yu spoke weakly, “Uh, they are all my children. I will definitely treat them all equally. They are all my flesh and blood.”
Zhou Siyan: “You should take care of yourself first.”
Everyone had stated their positions.
Zhou Siyan added, “By the way, Xue Xiaohai had a spirit body before she was even born. You should also pay attention to your own spirit bodies. When the children are about to be born, the spirit bodies will also give birth to cubs.”
“No wonder my eldest is so small. It’s because she was born too early, and the spirit body hasn’t been born yet.”
Feng Qizhou was thoughtful. He only knew that there was something in his arctic fox’s belly, but he didn’t know what it was.
Zhou Siyan looked at Mo Li. “Mo Li, if you’re not feeling well, don’t go out on missions. Stay at home and rest. I will give you living expenses.”
“No need.”
Mo Li put on his backpack again, walked to Xue Yu, and said in a low voice, “Then I’ll be going. When the child misses you, I’ll come back.”
He had returned to his usual cold and stern demeanor. He lightly touched Xue Yu’s hand and turned to leave.
In the clinic, Feng Qizhou and Zhou Siyan both looked at Xue Yu.
Xue Yu kissed Xue Xiaohai on the left, then the other child on the right, and raised her chin to state her position. “See, I’m treating them all equally, absolutely no favoritism!”
Feng Qizhou pursed his lips and smiled. He walked over and squatted in front of Xue Yu. “A child has a child, but is still a child.”
Zhou Siyan picked up Xue Xiaohai. “Alright, it’s time to go. Xue Xiaohai is hungry. We have to go back and feed her.”
Feng Qizhou also picked up his own child. He said, “Director Zhou, you go first. I have some private words to say to Xue Yu.”
Zhou Siyan’s handsome brow furrowed slightly. He glanced at Xue Yu, calmly placed Xue Xiaohai in the safe, and left the clinic with a steady gait, carrying the box.
Only Feng Qizhou and Xue Yu, and their two children, were left in the room.
Feng Qizhou, who was usually arrogant and conceited, showed a rare hint of shyness. “Xue Yu, I have a bold idea, but I’m not sure about it.”
“You’re actually considering my opinion?” Xue Yu was very surprised.
Feng Qizhou said, “After all, I have children now. I can’t be as carefree as before.”
Xue Yu was worried by his slightly restrained and ashamed appearance. “What on earth are you thinking of doing?”
Feng Qizhou leaned closer. Even though there was no one around, he lowered his voice as if it were hard to say:
“Our eldest is growing so slowly. Even with the most expensive formula, she’s not growing. I want to get her some breast milk to eat.”
Xue Yu subconsciously covered her chest. “I don’t have any! You need to be lactating to have breast milk. How could I have any!”
She remembered the time Xue Xiaohai had bitten her, and she was still terrified.
Feng Qizhou clicked his tongue. “What are you thinking? Of course I’m not asking you to feed her. I mean, I want to experiment on myself.”
Xue Yu’s eyes flickered. She felt inexplicably nervous. “What kind of experiment are you going to do?”
Feng Qizhou leaned even closer to her. “Both men and women can produce milk. You just need to inject some drugs to stimulate it. I want to try it on myself. If I really have milk, I’ll test the nutritional value. If it’s good, I’ll give it to the child to eat.”
Xue Yu had thought that after experiencing something as crazy as transmigration, her psychological resilience was already very good.
But after hearing Feng Qizhou’s idea, she still felt that she was out of place in this world because she wasn’t perverted enough.
Seeing Xue Yu’s complicated expression, Feng Qizhou said again, “Our eldest is so small. She was born earlier than Xue Xiaohai, and she’s not even six jin now. Aren’t you worried? What if she doesn’t grow tall in the future? What if she sees that big fatty Xue Xiaohai and feels inferior?”
Xue Yu’s smile was dry and stiff on her face. “That’s fine. As long as you’re happy! It’s for the child. There’s no other way.”
“Do you really understand me?” Feng Qizhou asked uncertainly.
Xue Yu rubbed her face with both hands. “I understand. You know, I’m the most understanding person. Just do whatever you want to do. I support you.”
Feng Qizhou was visibly much happier. He explained to her seriously, “I’ve read a lot of materials. The nutritional value of human milk is very high. If the child can’t finish it, you can drink it too. Your constitution is so poor. You’re probably malnourished.”
A cold sweat broke out on Xue Yu’s back. She hurriedly took two steps back. “No, no. My poor constitution is a genetic defect. It has nothing to do with nutrition. Just feed the child well. You don’t have to feed me.”
“Do you really understand me?” Feng Qizhou frowned.
Xue Yu swallowed hard. “Your idea is indeed very surprising to me, but I can still understand it. Well, how should I put it? Life is about taking risks. If you want to try, just try. I understand.”
“Then you have to keep it a secret. Don’t let Zhou Siyan and Mo Li know.”
Xue Yu nodded desperately. “Of course! Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know! Just go ahead and do it with confidence!”
