Chapter 39

"You don't want to stay with me?"

"... I just want to go and get the house procedures done as soon as possible."

"What's the rush? Can the house grow legs and fly away?"

Zongfang didn't understand why she liked this bird-not-shitting place. He also glanced at it a few times when he carried her in yesterday. It was clearly an old house in disrepair. He couldn't understand why she cherished it like a treasure.

"If it flies away, I'll buy you a new one. You choose the location, preferably bigger. Two floors are not enough to live in, our cubs will also need one room each in the future."

Qiao Suisui didn't understand how this man could plan so naturally, looked away, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not even a stroke of the character yet."

Zongfang's hand wrapped around her waist, and his hot breath sprayed into her ear.

"How is it not even a stroke? Maybe it's already there. I'll work harder these two days." He smiled and kissed her, his large hand touched her stomach, and his face "swished" changed.

Qiao Suisui was startled.

Bad, forgot.

Due to the system's transformation, she had no discomfort of pregnancy at all, not even morning sickness. Plus Luka was always entangled with her, so she always didn't have this consciousness.

She was now pregnant with Laiboli's cub. Because she agreed with the system to use the Multi-Birth Pill this time, the number of cubs was large, so she tried not to let her stomach get too exaggerated. To reduce her hardship, the system let her not show her pregnancy for the first month and a half, and then it grew a little bit later. This was exactly a month and a half.

Her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, not obvious when lying flat, but the shape would appear when sitting. Zongfang almost held her on his body to do that thing, and his whole mind was on feeling her tenderness during the process, so he didn't notice the stomach. Touching it now, he found something wrong.

More than half of Qiao Suisui's pregnancy was taken care of by Zongfang himself. Plus his research on the human body was very thorough, so he almost immediately associated it with her being pregnant again.

"Whose?"

Qiao Suisui looked at Zongfang's gloomy face, her palms sweating nervously.

Seeing her not speaking, and having obvious evasion on her face, the man who was originally uncertain now had a conclusion.

"Him again?"

"No."

After she finished speaking, her chin was pinched. This time the man didn't leave any strength at all, pinching Qiao Suisui until physiological tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes.

"You are very good."

He gritted his teeth and finished saying it word by word, threw her hand away violently, left her alone, and strode away.

Fingerprints were printed on Qiao Suisui's cheeks and chin. At this moment, she was panting heavily, having a kind of luck of surviving a disaster.

At the same time, a doubt floated in her heart. Since it was like this, why didn't Zongfang take her out?

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately thought that there was only one possibility, and that was Lanze brought people to save her. They should be outside the space now, so Zongfang couldn't easily go out.

She must find a way to get out.

Thinking of this, she moved her body and found that her body, which originally needed a few days to completely get rid of the soreness and weakness, had now completely recovered, and her whole body was in the same state as when she had slept enough. This was the Self-Healing talent at work.

"No wonder he doesn't sleep much usually..."

Qiao Suisui supported the tree trunk to get up, picked up the clothes torn to pieces on the ground, and barely covered her body. She walked two steps barefoot on the soft green grass, and suddenly the surrounding scene changed—

All around were mountains, tall trees stood around her, the bare trunks had no vitality, and from a distance, it was a dark patch of trunks.

She was frightened by this sudden desolation and coldness, took a step forward, and stepped on a piece of dead leaves.

With a "crack," a group of black crows were startled away. They flapped their wings and flew away in groups, making the whole forest fall into a more eerie silence.

"Zongfang..."

Qiao Suisui hugged her arms subconsciously and called out hesitantly.

Then only the echo answered her.

The paradise that was sunny just a moment ago turned into a dim and sloppy bald forest in the blink of an eye. Qiao Suisui braced herself and kept chanting "don't be afraid, it's okay" to cheer herself up.

The man was standing on a steep cliff not far from Qiao Suisui at this time. He watched coldly as the person below trembled with fear, walking staggeringly. His gaze was fixed on those white little feet, and he frowned when he saw her step on a sharp stone.

He just turned his head and left because he didn't want to carry his anger in front of her.

She really lied to him again.

Pregnant with a wild seed, not mentioning a word, only knowing how to coax people with her mouth, not a single true word.

He remembered her whispered "I am willing," and couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple up and down.

What if one out of ten sentences was true?

What if there was even a tiny bit of sincerity mixed in that hypocrisy... then would she be sad because he left?

Zongfang exhaled heavily, watching Qiao Suisui walk to a river that was neither wide nor narrow.

The river was turbulent upstream and calm downstream. Qiao Suisui was in the middle of the river at this time. Walking to the left was upstream, and walking to the right was downstream.

He saw a hesitant little head looking left and right, and thought of her bad habit. Every time she sweated a little, she had to take a bath. He hadn't had time to help her clean her body after finishing and left her there. At this time, she must be very uncomfortable.

There are no seasons in the space, or rather, everything moves at Zongfang's will.

He saw Qiao Suisui tentatively reach out to scoop a handful of water, and then start walking to the left, thinking she was going to take a bath there.

"Stupid."

She couldn't even stand still if she went into the upstream section.

However, Qiao Suisui didn't want to take a bath. She had just carefully observed the flow of the river and knew that walking to the right was downstream, so walking against this direction must lead to high ground. She was surrounded by forests, and the sun had set, so she couldn't distinguish north, south, east, or west at all, and could only use this method.

However, just after she walked a distance, the surrounding scene changed again!

This time it was directly a room without windows on four sides. The cold light turned on, making her close her eyes. The room was a suite, with a bathroom inside and a bedroom outside. There was only a bed in the bedroom, and nothing else. She walked to the bathroom again and saw that the whole bathroom only had a bathtub and a rectangular large mirror.

She tilted her head strangely, just thinking that this abrupt bathtub wasn't even connected to a water pipe. Without water, how was she supposed to live?

"Whoosh—"

Continuous water sounds rang out in the bathtub. The bathtub, which was originally empty, was now three-quarters full of water.

She widened her eyes, thinking she had deprived some wish-fulfilling talent, but soon found it was not her will.

Because a tray appeared out of thin air on the floor next to the bathtub, with a bath towel and a bathrobe inside.

Zongfang saw her blinking and searching everywhere, and couldn't help but hook his lips and laugh out loud.

"Not too stupid yet."

At this time, he was standing behind the mirror, watching with interest as the young girl tested the water temperature, then took off the few pieces of useless clothes, and stepped into the bathtub.
