Chapter 201: Sweet as Pie

If you just don't have any children, you can still adopt a few children after you get married, so it's not a big problem.

If she can't do that kind of thing, it won't work. No matter how pretty she is, her niece can't bear to be a widow.

She said that it was impossible for a man like Xiao Gu, who looked so handsome, not to have a family and a career yet.

If you can't have children, then all of this makes sense.

But I didn't expect that Xiao Gu, who looks tall and strong, is actually a coward.

Su Nanzhi was originally in a depressed mood, but because of Aunt Lei's words, her mood instantly improved, and she even almost couldn't help laughing.

Gu Xizhou didn't expect Aunt Lei to be so bold.

Gu Xizhou was surprised by Aunt Lei's blunt words, but when he saw Su Nanzhi grinning beside him, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Aunt Lei realized she was too rash the moment she said it. Seeing Gu Xizhou's surprise, she immediately waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It doesn't matter whether it works or not."

"If that doesn't work, I know some lesbians with children. How about..."

Anyway, although some men can do it, it’s just so-so, and it doesn’t hurt as much as a mosquito bite.

"Auntie Lei, that's fine. By then, Comrade Gu won't have to worry about becoming a father, and he'll have a place to live in his old age. Please arrange for him to have a look after you quickly."

Su Nanzhi said this with a hint of vengeance.

Because of Gu Xizhou's childhood experiences, raising children to provide for his old age and having no descendants have almost become his inner demons. It is the times and past experiences that have given him such ideas.

But she was still angry...

When Aunt Lei heard this, she gave Su Nanzhi an appreciative look.

"Xiao Su didn't expect that you are so young and have such high ideological awareness."

As he said this, he gave Gu Xizhou a look of sympathy and pity.

"Xiao Gu, don't refuse. Liking this kind of thing can't be eaten. You've been married to someone for a long time and you've developed feelings for them. Besides, you've raised their child, so when you're old, there will be someone to take care of you."

Gu Xizhou smiled bitterly when he heard what Aunt Lei said.

As he listened to the two of them, his face turned pale and blue. After seeing Su Nanzhi's sarcastic expression, he gave a wry smile.

This is what happens when you bring trouble upon yourself.

"Auntie Lei, raising children doesn't protect you from old age. Too often, unfilial children kick their elderly parents, who have no labor force, out of the house."

Before Aunt Lei could retort, Gu Xizhou continued, "Don't tell me that being childless in old age is pitiful and will be bullied. As long as I have a promising future, there will be many people who will come to me to be filial sons and grandsons."

"You've lived so many years longer than me. You must have experienced more than me and understand more than me. It's better to rely on yourself than on others."

Gu Xizhou said this to Aunt Lei, but he wanted to say it more to Su Nanzhi.

Aunt Lei thought of several sisters she knew who were constantly scolded by their sons and daughters-in-law because they had no labor force. Some of them could not even say "raising children to take care of you in your old age" and could only say this dryly.

"Xiao Gu, you are educated after all. You know a lot of things, unlike us country people who only think about these mundane things every day."

Gu Xizhou laughed at himself, "Aunt Lei, I used to think the same as you. I always thought that marriage meant having a child, and that there was no point without a child. I even lost a lot for this. Now I understand. As long as the other party doesn't mind me being infertile, it doesn't matter whether I have a child or not."

Aunt Lei looked at Gu Xizhou in surprise. She didn't expect that Gu Xizhou, who looked so imposing, had similar thoughts to those of these country old people.

"Xiao Gu, you're right. When you get old, seeing other people's homes bustling with activity while your own family has no one to talk to, it's going to be so lonely..."

Gu Xizhou had never thought that he could easily change Aunt Lei's mind with just a few words. When he heard this, he smiled and looked at Su Nanzhi, "When you get old, just tell your spouse."

Aunt Lei didn't refute this time and nodded repeatedly.

"That's right. Young couples grow old together. It's better to find a good partner than to have children. Xiao Gu, I'll find out if there's anyone suitable for you."

Having said that, Aunt Lei turned around and was about to leave.

Gu Xizhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and immediately called out to Aunt Lei.

"Aunt Lei, thank you for your kindness. I have someone I like."

Aunt Lei felt like she was a badger in a melon field, with so many melons that she could never finish eating them.

This time, Aunt Lei was very considerate. Thinking of the scene she had just seen and what Su Nanzhi said about having a fiancé, she looked at Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou meaningfully.

"Xiao Gu, although I know you like Xiao Su very much, you are a soldier and you can't destroy her family by being the third party."

After speaking to Gu Xizhou, Aunt Lei turned to look at Su Nanzhi and said, "Xiao Su, if you really like Xiao Gu, you should first make it clear with your ex, otherwise it will have a bad impact."

After speaking in a hurry, without paying attention to the two people's hesitant expressions, Aunt Lei said, "I'll go to the kitchen to make you a bowl of noodles." Then she left in a hurry.

Aunt Lei shook her head as she walked.

It's still the tricks played by city people, who compete with each other every day to perform the drama of you like me and I like you.

As soon as Aunt Lei left, the room fell into silence.

Su Nanzhi looked at Gu Xizhou, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After knowing Gu Xizhou's childhood experiences, she could no longer blame Gu Xizhou.

She just couldn't let herself and Gu Xizhou continue to get along as if nothing had happened.

Just as she was lost in thought, Gu Xizhou suddenly approached.

She was so close that she could see clearly each of Su Guxizhou's eyelashes and the dark currents surging in his eyes.

The hot breath brushed against her lips, and Su Nanzhi's breathing stagnated, and the tips of her ears instantly burned. She frantically raised her hands to press against his chest, but he held her tightly, unable to move.

"Don't move."

The deep voice stirred a subtle echo in the quiet room. Only after confirming that she was no longer struggling did Gu Xizhou release his grip and open the medicine box beside the bed.

The moment the alcohol cotton touched the wound, Su Nanzhi couldn't help but gasp.

Gu Xizhou paused, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and without any hesitation, he leaned over and blew gently towards her wound.

The cool breath caressed the wound, but it made Su Nanzhi's heart beat even more irregularly. She turned her head to avoid it.

Gu Xizhou put one arm to her lips.

"Bite me if it hurts."

Su Nanzhi suddenly turned her head away: "Gu Xizhou, you've crossed the line."

Gu Xizhou was stunned, looking at Su Nanzhi who was right in front of him.

Instead of taking a step back to keep his distance, he reached out his other hand and stroked her furrowed brow.

Crossing the line? He'd already gone mad.

I don't want to wake up either.

Gu Xizhou's rough fingertips caressed her smooth skin, causing her to shudder.

"I already have a fiancé. As a group leader, do you really want to be the third party?"

Gu Xizhou pressed the index finger of his other hand against her lips, with a dark glimmer of paranoia in his eyes.

"What's the point of being a captain? Even if I were to be a lover who lives in secrecy... I'd be happy with it."

The fickle Xue Wen is not worthy of Su Nanzhi at all.
