Although he received a positive answer from Luo Ning again, Lu Xinghe still felt that something was missing.

He watched her silently, casually picked a white flower and crushed it between his fingers, the transparent juice emitting a faint fragrance.

Their genes were a perfect match, but after two years of lovemaking, she didn't get pregnant. Although he knew it wasn't easy, he still felt a little disappointed, even though he was so much better than Zhuang Yu.

Luo Ning looked up and saw him sitting quietly on the grass, with a few broken petals beside him. He wasn't wearing a shirt. Although it was daytime and the temperature wasn't as low as at night, the river breeze was still chilly.

"Put your clothes on, it would be bad if you caught a cold, we don't have any medicine here," she said with concern.

Lu Xinghe snapped out of his daze, picked up his clothes and put them on. Then he picked up a knife and started killing fish. Luo Ning smelled the blood and looked over. She saw the wound on his arm that he had left yesterday when he took blood for her. Although the blood had stopped flowing, the wound was a little white because it had been wet earlier.

Next to this new wound were several faint scars, which were almost invisible. Judging from the timeline, she deduced that they must have been left by his blood when he saved her from when she was injured and unconscious. She felt both moved and heartbroken.

"Let me kill the fish. Your wound hasn't healed yet. You should let someone else catch the fish next time." Luo Ning took the knife and fish from his hand and quickly began to process them. She couldn't dive. Although she had tried before because of her alien status, she still choked on the water.

Lu Xinghe looked at the wound: "It's nothing, it will heal soon."

"Thank you for that time, for getting so many injuries to save me," Luo Ning said again.

"What?" Lu Xinghe was a little confused.

Luo Ning pointed to his old wounds: "You may not remember them, but these wounds should be from when you saved me. We were attacked by mutants, and I was unconscious for a while."

Lu Xinghe indeed didn't remember. He deduced that the wounds were caused by the keeper taking blood, but he didn't expect that it was given to him voluntarily.

Although she gave it to them voluntarily yesterday, it was because she helped them. She thought it was her first time, but she didn't expect that she had done it a long time ago, and several times. It turns out that she was already doing it willingly back then.

Although he had forgotten everything, she remembered it all. Yet, at the base, she was so resistant to him and cried so hard, showing no regard for their past relationship whatsoever.

"It's nothing. Saving you is also saving Xiaoruo and me," he replied stiffly.

Luo Ning was taken aback. Why did he seem angry? He was fine just a moment ago.

An Xiaoruo walked over at this moment, carrying a cloth bag, her face flushed with anger.

"What's wrong? What happened? Did someone bully you?" Luo Ning asked quickly.

An Xiaoruo replied, "I just had a fight with Meng Ting and the others."

"Why are you arguing for no reason?" Lu Xinghe was also a little puzzled.

As An Xiaoruo packed the wild vegetables into a cloth bag, she said, "They were talking about my sister, saying all sorts of nonsense."

Luo Ning asked, somewhat puzzled, "Nonsense? What nonsense are you talking about?"

An Xiaoruo glanced at Lu Xinghe and muttered, "Meng Ting said that if my sister hadn't escaped from the lab, then it would have been him and my sister... breeding with my sister. Uncle, why didn't you breed with my sister back then? Why did you refuse? My sister is so gentle and beautiful, and you still don't like her. It's all your fault that my sister is being talked about like this by Meng Ting and the others."

She grew angrier as she spoke, constantly defending Luo Ning. She didn't want Luo Ning to be talked about by these men. In her heart, Luo Ning was a very precious person, and even her uncle couldn't bully her.

Lu Xinghe and Luo Ning were both stunned. They had both chosen not to mention the breeding program, but now An Xiaoruo had brought it up directly. Moreover, Luo Ning did not know that Lu Xinghe had refused the breeding program, nor did she know that she was later arranged to be with that boy named Meng Ting.

Luo Ning felt somewhat embarrassed, thankful that she had cleverly escaped back then; otherwise, she didn't know how chaotic things would have become.

Lu Xinghe wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how, because what An Xiaoruo and Meng Ting said was true. He did leave the lab halfway through because he didn't want her to keep crying.

"I'll go look for some wild vegetables over there," Luo Ning said, making an excuse to leave.

An Xiaoruo wanted to go with them, but Lu Xinghe stopped her.

"Xiao Ruo, you are not allowed to mention breeding again," Lu Xinghe instructed.

An Xiaoruo also noticed the awkward atmosphere and whispered, "I was just angry for a moment. If only you were human, you could be together."

"Don't overthink it." Lu Xinghe got up, picked up the cleaned fish, and walked back.

An Xiaoruo followed, carrying wild vegetables: "I didn't think too much about it. Uncle, you like my sister too, don't you? I remember some things from the past. You even secretly kissed her when she was asleep before."

Lu Xinghe was stunned for a moment: "I did that?"

An Xiaoruo nodded affirmatively: "In a basement, while your sister is asleep, you can sneak a kiss while I'm not around."

Lu Xinghe continued walking forward in silence, now even An Xiaoruo knew about it.

"An Xiaoruo, you don't need to tell me if you remember anything in the future," he said as a precaution.

An Xiaoruo was a little confused: "Why? If I tell you what I remember, wouldn't that help you recover your memory? You can tell me what you remember too."

“No need,” Lu Xinghe refused firmly.

Back in the house, Meng Ting and the others had just finished cleaning the other two bedrooms. When they saw him return, all four of them fell silent, knowing that An Xiaoruo must have already complained.

Lu Xinghe glanced at them coldly: "Use your energy to kill the enemy, don't waste it on words."

"Yes," the four immediately agreed.

He put down what he was holding and went to find Du Lu. After looking around, he found Du Lu outside sharpening pieces of wood.

"You're setting a trap?" Lu Xinghe realized.

"Mm," Du Lu replied.

“These are useless against mutants, and Luo Ning and Wen Xi have very strong senses. If any mutants get close, they will detect them in advance, especially Wen Xi. She is very different from ordinary mutants, you should know that.”

Du Lu nodded. Although he was at the back yesterday, he knew that Wen Xi had confirmed the direction of the exit, and that she was the one who found the water source when the two of them were trapped in the desert.

"Luo Ning said there's an abandoned city nearby. After we finish eating, let's go there together and take a look. Maybe we can find a radio station or something." Lu Xinghe needed to find a way back, otherwise, even with Luo Ning and Wen Xi's help, living outside for a long time would be very dangerous.

"You can arrange it," Du Lu replied casually.

Lu Xinghe noticed that he had been absent-minded these past few days: "Didn't you come out to find Wen Xi? Why do you still seem preoccupied now that we've met?"

"Who was looking for her? This was just a coincidence. I would have assumed she jumped and died long ago," Du Lu denied.

"Okay, what a coincidence." Lu Xinghe patted his shoulder, got up and walked over. Du Lu was like a powder keg right now, he needed to let him calm down.

Luo Ning returned at this time. She and An Xiaoru were busy in the kitchen. Song Peidu and the other security officers had all grown up eating ready-made food and none of them knew how to cook. Although Luo Ning hadn't cooked for a long time, she still had some skills.

An hour later, a large bowl of fish and stir-fried wild vegetables were served. The security officers were initially a little reserved, but they soon began to wolf down the food. Although there was no salt, people can eat anything when they are hungry.

"How does it taste?" she asked.

“It’s faded.” The security officer with acne said casually, clearly the most lively of the group of young people.

Lu Xinghe glanced at him again, and the boy immediately moved aside and ate his food in silence.

"There's no salt here, we need to go find some." Luo Ning said somewhat embarrassedly.

"After we finish eating, we'll go to that abandoned city you mentioned. Everyone can find a weapon that suits them," Lu Xinghe said.

While they were eating, Luo Ning went into Wen Xi's bedroom. Wen Xi looked quite well today; she was no longer as pale as she had been a few days ago, and had a touch of spring pink in her complexion.

“Come with us. There are no more aliens here. We can go over there and find something to eat,” she said. The two of them also needed to replenish their food.

Wen Xi nodded: "Okay."

Just as Luo Ning was about to leave, Wen Xi stopped her again: "Luo Ning..."

But she hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"What's wrong?" Luo Ning waited for her to speak.

"It's nothing, I just want to stay by your side for a while," Wen Xi changed the subject. She actually wanted to ask Luo Ning what to do when desire arose.

She awakened late, and the first human she encountered was Du Lu. She was confused and didn't understand anything at the time. But after mating with Zhuang Yu, the little box that she had been hiding inside her body was opened.

She met Zhuang Yu last spring, and her affection for him blossomed like the growth of all things, but it came to an abrupt end four months later with the news of Zhuang Yu's trial and execution.

And now, it's spring again. As if her body has a memory, it suddenly arrives when she doesn't want to remember.

“Okay, you come with me, don’t be afraid.” Luo Ning didn’t think much of it.

After finishing their meal, the group prepared to set off. Everyone had bullets in their guns, as well as daggers and iron bars—they were fully armed.

Luo Ning and Wen Xi led the way. They had traveled this road many times before. Two hours later, they arrived at the abandoned city.

The abandoned city wasn't large, and there were no alien species. After entering the city, they split into groups of five and searched the city. However, the weather was uncooperative; before they could find any supplies, it started to rain, accompanied by rumbling thunder.

They found shelter from the rain in a shopping mall. The mall was dark, with shattered glass and fallen mannequins scattered everywhere. The dust was so thick it was hard to breathe. The food in the mall was long inedible, and most of the clothes were moldy and rotten. It was difficult to find any intact items. Fortunately, they managed to find two bags of salt that were still usable.

After Luo Ning returned from her rounds, she suddenly realized that Wen Xi was missing. Her nose was choked by dust and she couldn't even smell Wen Xi. She immediately started searching in the mall and finally found her in front of a green shop window.

"Wenxi, you're here! I've finally found you." She breathed a sigh of relief, then realized that the items in the shop window were all baby clothes and supplies.

She paused for a moment, then stopped in her tracks.

Wen Xi turned around and smiled gently at her: "I'm sorry, there were a lot of people over there and I wasn't used to it, so I wandered around."

"Hmm." Luo Ning smiled, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a lighthearted, joking tone, "You're looking at baby clothes here, are you thinking about having a baby?"

"No." Wen Xi denied it outright, but she quickly realized that she was getting emotional, so she softened her tone: "I... I was just taking a walk, don't overthink it."

Seeing how agitated she was, Luo Ning knew that she was not prepared and had not made up her mind, which was a difficult thing to do in the first place.

"Then I'll sit here with you for a while, and we'll go over later." She found a relatively clean spot to sit down, and Wen Xi quietly sat down beside her.

Not long after they sat down, footsteps approached; it was Du Lu and Meng Ting and their young friends coming over.

When Wen Xi saw Du Lu approaching, her body trembled slightly, a reaction that Luo Ning could sense.

Neither side expected to meet here, and apart from Du Lu and Luo Ning, everyone else was very nervous.

"I just checked this area, there are no supplies left." Luo Ning assumed they had come here to search for supplies.

Du Lu glanced at Wen Xi, who was standing behind Luo Ning, and said, "I'm going to go to the broadcasting room to dismantle the radio station."

Shopping malls usually have a broadcasting room, where you might find something useful.

"Oh, then you guys go ahead," Luo Ning said.

Du Lu nodded and led his men over. Meng Ting also secretly glanced at Luo Ning as he passed by, but Luo Ning avoided his gaze. After they entered the stairwell, the two sat down again.

The air was quiet. Luo Ning was also worried about Wen Xi and was thinking about what to do. She didn't know if Wen Xi would kill the child unconsciously again, or if she would want to give birth to the child. If she wanted to give birth, should she go back to the human base?

Just as she was filled with worry, Wenxi suddenly said, "I lied to you before."

Luo Ning paused, staring blankly at her, wondering what lie she had told. Was it about the child?

Wen Xi lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly: "When Du Lu and I were in the desert, I had hallucinations because I drank poisonous plant juice. I had sex with him... I had sex with him at that time."

Luo Ning was somewhat shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wen Xi's slender fingers clenched tightly together again: "Although the juice is hallucinogenic, I can actually control it. But I was feeling very unwell those few days and couldn't bear it, so... so I lost control of myself and lied to him when he was hallucinating."

"You lied to him?" Luo Ning couldn't understand why Wen Xi used the word "lie." At that time, Du Lu was still a security officer. He shouldn't have been tricked by a mutant into doing something he didn't want to do.

Wen Xi nodded: "He is very fierce and powerful. He usually doesn't get close to me. After he started hallucinating that day, I lied to him and said that I was his wife, and then those things happened."

The word "wife" is indeed irresistible to a security officer who lives a life of uncertainty. The novel once described how security officers, due to the enormous responsibilities and pressures they bear, may appear cold and distant on the surface, but deep down they all yearn for redemption and warmth, especially since Du Lu is still in a hallucination.

"So it was because of this relationship that he later opened the cage and let you go," Luo Ning guessed.

“No, he was very angry after he regained consciousness and held a gun to my head to kill me.” Wen Xi recalled, “But I wanted to live and I didn’t want to die, so I kept begging him. Although he finally let me go, he still shot my leg. Luo Ning, the feeling of a bullet piercing through the body really hurt. It was the first time I had ever felt such pain in my life. It hurt even more than when he entered my body.”

Luo Ning gently took her hand; she felt that her hand was very cold.

“You know what happened next. I didn’t know he would actually open the cage. I didn’t bite him on purpose, but he wouldn’t let me leave. I thought he had died from the infection, but I didn’t expect him to still be alive. In prison, I thought he would kill me, but he didn’t. I could only try to please him, but I was worried that he would shoot me again at some point. Luo Ning, I’m afraid of pain. I’m really scared.” Wen Xi’s body grew even colder after she finished speaking.

Luo Ning hugged her. She knew that Wen Xi wasn't afraid of bullets, because Wen Xi hadn't cried out in pain once since she was shot two months ago. What she was afraid of was Du Lu. The shot in the desert had left an indelible shadow in her heart, which was why she had tried so hard to please him in prison.

"Don't be afraid, it's all over now," she said reassuringly.

Wenxi shook her head in her arms: "No, there's something more serious, I might..."

She suddenly stopped talking because she heard Du Lu's footsteps. They had returned. She immediately left Luo Ning's embrace and wiped away her tears.

Du Lu and his team found the radio, but it was rusty and crumbled into pieces with a touch of their fingers in some places. Nevertheless, they decided to take it back with them.

As Du Lu passed by the two of them, she saw that Wen Xi had her back to her, gave her a cold look, and then walked straight ahead.

After they had walked a distance, Luo Ning asked, "What might have happened to you?"

After being interrupted, Wenxi couldn't say anything more: "It's nothing, let's go over there."

After she finished speaking, she walked forward, but Luo Ning asked from behind her, "You're pregnant, aren't you?"

Wen Xi stopped in her tracks, shocked and bewildered. She didn't know how Luo Ning had discovered it, nor did she know if Luo Ning would kill her, since the people in the lab had said that such a child might cause the alien power to disappear.

Many people find it unacceptable to become mediocre after getting used to being powerful.

"How did you know?" Her pale lips trembled slightly.

“I saw the hair you lost. I’ve also looked at the lab records. They show that you experienced hair loss during your first pregnancy,” Luo Ning replied.

Wen Xi said softly, "So you already knew all along, while I was still struggling with how to tell you."

Luo Ning walked to her side: "Yes, I also told you before that no matter what happens, you can trust me, and I will help you get through it."

Wen Xi recalled that Luo Ning had indeed said something like that last night, and that she had been hinting that she hadn't understood.

"But aren't you afraid? The child in my belly might really turn you into a human. You will lose all your current power and the chance of immortality. This child might even be a monster, more terrifying than the child who caused the end of the world." Wenxi asked more and more urgently. She was afraid, whether it was the first one or the current one.

Luo Ning thought for a moment: "Of course I'm scared too. Power and immortality are great, but those five years of wandering outside were just too lonely and boring. I think it's better to be human. At least as a human, you can eat good food. As for whether this child will become the second destroyer, we don't know. We'll only know after he's born."

“I don’t want to give birth to him, but I don’t know how to make him disappear. I can’t feel his presence at all.” Wenxi placed her hand on her abdomen, but she couldn’t feel anything.

Luo Ning was taken aback: "You can't feel it?"

Wenxi nodded and pulled her hand to her stomach: "Can you feel it?"

Luo Ning tried to sense it carefully, but as Wen Xi said, she really couldn't feel anything. Was it because this child's power was too strong, directly suppressing their perception abilities?

The two looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

"I could feel it last time, but this time it's completely impossible. Maybe I'm not pregnant at all, or maybe there's been a new mutation in my body," Wen Xi said helplessly.

Luo Ning was also puzzled; this matter was beyond her comprehension.

More footsteps appeared; it was the security officer named Yao Cheng, who stood at the far end of the corridor: "The rain has stopped, we're getting ready to head back. The major sent me to call you."

“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Luo Ning replied.

"Luo Ning, please don't tell those security officers about this, promise me." Wen Xi pleaded with her.

"Don't worry, I won't tell them." Even if Wen Xi didn't say anything, Luo Ning wouldn't reveal this matter, because everything was too mysterious at the moment.

"Swear it."

“Okay, I swear.” Luo Ning raised her hand, knowing that breaking her oath wouldn’t cause any harm.

Even if there are gods, they are already dead, otherwise they would not watch people suffer like this.

When the two reached the meeting point, Lu Xinghe and the others had already packed up the supplies. Du Lu also carried the radio on his back. He didn't have gloves, and the sharp metal pieces cut his hands, with blood dripping down his fingers.

"Stop the bleeding quickly, or it will attract aliens," Luo Ning said, suppressing her urge to eat the flesh.

Lu Xinghe forcefully squeezed Du Lu's blood out: "You have to squeeze the blood out completely. Rust can easily cause tetanus infection after a puncture wound, which could kill him."

The security officers were very anxious, fearing that the aliens would smell the blood and that Du Lu would die.

Upon smelling the blood, Wen Xi involuntarily swallowed. The only human blood she had ever drunk since awakening was Du Lu's blood, but that was three years ago in the desert. She tried hard to forget that smell, but at this moment, the sweet human blood was like an addictive drug.

She lunged at Du Lu, but fortunately Luo Ning reacted quickly and grabbed her: "Wen Xi, no."

Luo Ning found it strange. Wen Xi was very calm when Lu Xinghe took blood yesterday, and she has always been very good at controlling herself. Why is she suddenly like this today?

Wen Xi was still struggling. It was difficult for this alien species, which had not been touched by human flesh and blood for three years, to control itself. She lost her mind and turned to bite Luo Ning. Fortunately, Luo Ning already knew that Wen Xi attacked people by biting, so she grabbed her chin to prevent her from being bitten.

Several young security officers were startled; it was the first time they had ever seen a mutant unleash its appetite. An Xiaoruo nervously grabbed Song Pei's arm.

"You guys go first, we'll be back later," Luo Ning said to Lu Xinghe. Right now, only by keeping Wen Xi away from the smell of blood could she calm down.

Lu Xinghe was also worried that Wen Xi's behavior would cause Song Pei and the others to take drastic actions. Just as he was about to leave with Du Lu and the others, Wen Xi started to cry in grievance. She was too hungry and wanted to eat.

Du Lu stopped, turned around, and walked up to her, looking down at her: "Want a drink?"

Tears streamed down Wen Xi's beautiful face, her long eyelashes trembling. She was afraid of this man's gun, yet she also desperately craved his blood.

In the end, her appetite overcame her fear, and she closed her eyes and nodded: "Yes."

However, Du Lu did not give her blood. He sneered, turned around, and left with Lu Xinghe and the others.

Luo Ning was stunned. She thought Du Lu asked the question because he wanted to give Wen Xi blood, but he left after asking only two words. Wasn't this bullying?

However, it seems he really is bullying Wenxi.

Luo Ning recalled what Wen Xi had told her and felt a headache coming on. She couldn't judge who was right and who was wrong in the relationship between Du Lu and Wen Xi, but she was sure that she would be the one with the biggest headache next, because the two sides were now at loggerheads again.

The smell of blood disappeared into the air, and Wenxi gradually calmed down, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

"I'll go catch an animal for you to eat. You can choose whatever you want—rabbit, deer, or pheasant, whatever you prefer," Luo Ning said softly.

Wenxi walked forward unsteadily, without saying a word.

Luo Ning followed beside her worriedly, wanting to say something comforting, but she didn't know what to say.

Wen Xi, understanding her concerns, said, "I'm fine, I'm just really hungry. Does your order still count?"

Luo Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was finally willing to speak: "Yes, of course it counts."

“Then I want to eat wild boar,” Wen Xi said.

"Ugh, wild boar! Wild boar is too ugly. It's not suitable for fairies like us to eat. Let's find something cute instead," Luo Ning said with disdain.

Wen Xi was finally amused, and the two walked forward together, but when Luo Ning couldn't see her, her eyes lost their sparkle.

On the way back, Lu Xinghe still didn't understand Du Lu's actions today: "If you weren't prepared to give her blood, why did you ask her?"

Du Lu remained silent with a cold face. He just wanted to make Wen Xi sad. He was happy when she cried, and he was happy when she couldn't have him.

But she didn't seem to be faking her tears just now; it was different from when she was in the desert.

"Subject Number Eleven is definitely angry. What if he tries to eat us when he comes back tonight?" Yao Cheng said with some fear.

"Don't be afraid, there are so many of us," Meng Ting said encouragingly.

An Xiaoruo sighed softly. The atmosphere was quite harmonious today, but she didn't expect that a little blood would break it.

“Wen Xi seems only interested in Major Du’s blood. My uncle bled even more yesterday, but she didn’t have a strong reaction,” An Xiaoruo said thoughtfully.

“Yeah, that seems to be true,” the others chimed in.

"Or perhaps, the first human blood she drank was yours, which is why she couldn't control herself." Lu Xinghe looked at Du Lu. The laboratory had conducted experiments on newly infected mutants, and the mutants would have a stronger appetite for the first blood donor they drank, because that was the awakening of their appetite.

Du Lu replied, "How could that be? She was infected and became a mutant at the beginning of the apocalypse. It's impossible that she hasn't eaten people over the years."

Indeed, this is an impossible scenario. Of the more than seven billion people who disappeared, a small portion were infected, but the majority were eaten.

"Now that things are under control, let's leave it at that. Everyone can be on high alert, but don't go looking for trouble, understand?" Lu Xinghe said sternly.

"Understood." The young children answered in unison. Although they didn't know why Major Lu trusted the two test subjects so much, based on their observations over the past two days, apart from the little incident just now, the two test subjects had indeed not done anything to harm them, which was truly unbelievable.

An hour after they returned to the cabin, Luo Ning and Wen Xi came back. Luo Ning was leading a wild boar, with Wen Xi holding a tree branch to shoo it away. However, the wild boar, seeing so many people, broke free from Luo Ning's rope and ran away in fear.

The eight men stared blankly as the two beautiful women drove the wild boar back, momentarily forgetting to go and help.

"What are you standing there for? Your dinner is gone!" Luo Ning shouted.

The security officers then came to their senses and immediately rolled up their sleeves to catch the boar. In fact, any one of them could have taken care of the wild boar with their marksmanship, but bullets were scarce and no one was willing to use them.

When Luo Ning returned and saw Du Lu sitting at the door repairing the radio, she said somewhat irritably, "Go out and fix it. We need to go back to our rooms to rest now."

Du Lu raised her head and glanced at Wen Xi, who was hiding behind her. Wen Xi looked calm and seemed to be alright.

“It’s far from your room,” Du Lu replied.

Luo Ning said, "But we have to pass through here. You know we are a different species and sensitive to blood. If any accidents happen, we will not be responsible."

Du Lu stood up, picked up the radio, and walked out. Luo Ning took Wen Xi's hand and returned to the room.

"You should sleep for a while, I'll go out and take a look." Luo Ning lifted the blanket and helped Wen Xi lie down. Although Wen Xi was only two months pregnant and was a mutant, so she wouldn't be in any danger, Luo Ning still couldn't help but want to take care of the pregnant woman.

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy." Wen Xi was also a little tired.

Luo Ning closed the door and went out. The pig had already been caught, and several people were slaughtering it.

"Wait a minute, I'll get a basin to collect the blood. Pig's blood is edible too." An Xiaoru rushed in and asked with concern when she saw Luo Ning coming out of the room, "Is Sister Wenxi alright?"

Luo Ning replied, "It's alright, don't worry."

An Xiaoruo grabbed the basin and ran outside, where the smell of pig blood soon filled the air.

Luo Ning stood on the wooden platform watching them busy at work, thinking about what Wen Xi had said to her that day, and felt that life has both hope and obstacles.

Lu Xinghe walked over to her and stood beside her. The evening breeze rustled the leaves, and the setting sun cast a soft glow on them, like an oil painting.

Amidst this picturesque scenery, Lu Xinghe suddenly asked, "Is Wen Xi pregnant?"
