In the post-apocalyptic era, a mutated cat demon uses up her last life and obtains a childbirth system. As long as she gives birth to children for those heirless bigshots, she can achieve eternal l...
Xuan Rongan's eyes flickered with complicated emotions. After a long silence, he slowly spoke with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"Don't you know who I am? As for this tattoo, it's something you can get at any tattoo shop. How about it? Do you like it? I can take you to make one."
Rong Xi's expression was no longer as casual as before, she just stared intently at the area on his chest that was covered by his clothes.
Is this just a coincidence?
In the silent ward, she lowered her head slightly, as if trying to organize her thoughts. After a moment, she slowly spoke.
"I haven't been able to contact your family. Since you're awake, you should contact them to take care of you."
Rong Xi turned around and was about to leave. At that moment, Xuan Rongan's eyes were full of heartache and loneliness, just like stars twinkling dimly in the dark night.
He was afraid of being noticed by Rong Xi, so before Rong Xi's gaze fell on him, he quickly adjusted his expression and raised the corners of his mouth to a seemingly nonchalant smile again.
"Didn't you hurt me? You really don't want to take responsibility."
Rong Xi just looked at his face quietly without saying anything until Xuan Rongan felt uncomfortable.
"Alright, alright, I won't bother you anymore. If you need anything, just leave first. I'll contact someone to pick me up later. As for you injuring me..."
Xuan Rongan was speaking in a relaxed tone when Rong Xi suddenly interrupted him: "I hurt you, so do you want to live in my place?"
Xuan Rongan should have been happy about this, but at this moment he was like a child who had done something wrong, full of panic and just wanted to escape.
He hurriedly said, "No, I was just joking with you before. I'm going back to my own place."
Rong Xi had no expression on his face. He just gently placed the note with the address and door code on his bed, and then walked straight out of the ward.
Xuan Rongan held the note tightly, his eyes lingering on it for a long time, as if he wanted to see through the numbers.
Seeing Rong Xi leave, Nian Xi hurried into the ward to check on Xuan Rong'an's condition. He frowned and said worriedly, "Master, it's better for you to go back and recuperate. This won't be conducive to your recovery."
Xuan Rongan, however, acted as if he hadn't heard anything and just muttered to himself, "Did she find me?"
Nian Xi's hand that was examining him suddenly stopped, and he subconsciously looked towards the direction of the ward door. He was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.
"Master, you have already consumed too much spiritual energy. Now that we have seen it, let's go back."
Before he finished speaking, Xuan Rong'an felt a sharp pain in his chest. Seeing this, Nian Xi immediately used his spiritual power to repair it for him.
"Increase the computing power to prevent the people behind the scenes from discovering it."
Nian Xi knew his master's temperament very well. He would not give up so easily, so he could only obey silently.
.
Rong Xi rushed out of the ward like a gust of wind, eagerly looking for a quiet corner. She wanted to interrogate the system carefully.
I saw her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her eyes showed an unprecedented seriousness.
"System, tell me who he is. You still can't find his information?"
Rong Xi usually looks carefree, and the system is already accustomed to it, but this is the first time it has seen her so serious.
The system once again searched for Xuan Rongan's information, but still found nothing. It could only helplessly respond, "Rongxi, I don't have enough authority to find his information. Do you think there is something wrong?"
It was not just wrong, the feeling in Rong Xi's heart was too familiar, especially the tattoo. A bold guess gradually emerged in her mind, but if that was true, she didn't know how to proceed with her next mission.
She went to the company in a daze, and after finishing her business, she rushed to the hospital as soon as she got off work. When she learned that Xuan Rongan had been discharged from the hospital, she suddenly felt an indescribable emptiness in her heart.
With mixed feelings, she came to the house outside the hospital.
The moment she entered the password, she was struggling inside, hoping that he was inside, but also afraid that he was inside.
The door slowly opened, and the living room was empty. She lowered her head slightly, but caught a glimpse of the familiar pair of leather shoes at the door.
Knowing that he was here, Rong Xi couldn't help but feel a sour feeling at the tip of his nose.
She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her inner turmoil. She walked in slowly and saw Xuan Rongan sitting on the balcony basking in the sunshine and looking at his phone.
Xuan Rongan had actually heard the door open a long time ago and knew it was her. But for some reason, he felt a surge of unease that he dared not face. He just pretended to be calm and said, "You're back."
"Yeah." Rong Xi responded softly.
To Xuan Rongan, this simple and ordinary sentence seemed to be the precious response he had dreamed of for many years.
Rong Xi sat down beside him, and the two of them snuggled up to each other quietly. No one spoke, only the evening breeze blew gently, blowing away the hustle and bustle of the day and bringing the tranquility of the night.
"I'll go cook for you."
Xuan Rongan stood up and subconsciously wanted to reach out to pull Rongxi, but the half-extended hand seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and was slowly retracted.
Rong Xi noticed this subtle movement and followed him silently.
Xuan Rongan was seen busy in the kitchen. After a short while, he prepared a large table full of delicious dishes, all of which were "her" favorites.
Rong Xi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The familiar taste instantly spread among his taste buds, and tears rolled down uncontrollably.
She was afraid that Xuan Rong'an would see her, so she quickly turned her back to him and quickly calmed herself down.
Then he forced a smile and said, "It tastes really good. I didn't expect Professor Xuan to be able to cook."
Xuan Rongan walked out of the kitchen carrying the last bowl of soup. When he saw the smile on Rongxi's face, the tension and uneasiness in his heart dissipated a little.
He said gently, "I'm glad you like it. Try this egg soup and see how it tastes." Then he served Rong Xi a small bowl.
Seeing Rong Xi drinking happily, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"I'll come here to eat again tomorrow. I want to eat carrot cake."
Xuan Rongan paused for a moment as he picked up the food, looked up at Rong Xi, hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly, "Okay."
Rong Xi would not stay overnight outside because Jiang's mother would worry.
After finishing her meal, she looked at the time and thought it was about time, so she got up and left.
She didn't let Xuan Rong'an send her off, but Xuan Rong'an was still worried, so he quietly followed her and drove to escort her all the way.
After taking a shower in the evening, Rong Xi lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. His thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess, and he didn't know where to start sorting them out.
"System, tell me again what the mission objective is. It's been so long I've forgotten."
