65 · The Third World is Complete

"Do you love me?"

Such a straightforward question was truly uncharacteristic of Lu Mingye, and certainly not the way he and Chen Zui interacted. Chen Zui froze for a moment. Was it the anxiety of impending childbirth? Or was it the bookstore system's trickery that made him distrust him?

Chen Zui couldn't get the answer for the time being, but the reason was not the most important thing now, because there was only one answer.

He cupped Lu Mingye's cheeks, his dark eyes filled with sincerity, bearing the love of three worlds and falling on his lover: "I love you."

There are no extra words, I just love you.

996 was still yelling that he was lying to him, but Lu Mingye didn't listen at all. He saw that miniature Q version of Chen Zui kneeling on one knee in a proposal pose, and his heart was saying the same thing: "I love you."

That's enough.

Even if his purpose in approaching her was not pure, Chen Zui loved her now. He did not deceive herself. His sincerity and care over the past few days, and the love flowing in his eyes were not false or deceptive.

Lu Mingye grabbed Chen Zui's hand and held it tightly: "I won't let you go."

He was such a selfish person. His love was to cling to the other person for eternity. Seeing that his attitude towards him had softened, Chen Zui smiled with relief: "I won't leave."

996 understood Lu Mingye's intention to continue to be entangled with Chen Zui. It finally met a useful host. It didn't care whether they loved it or not. As long as Lu Mingye could keep Chen Zui in this world and prevent him from causing harm to other worlds, its goal would be achieved.

I'm leaving.

[I can't leave the barrage system to you after I leave, but I can leave you a favorability display screen. Remember, as long as your favorability towards him reaches 70%, he will succeed in his mission and will leave you.]

So you have to control yourself.

Lu Mingye listened to 996's words expressionlessly, and then he heard the sound of the system being unbound. He looked at Chen Zui again, and a vertical bar display screen appeared next to Chen Zui's head, showing that his favorability towards Chen Zui was 57%.

It is still 13% away from the 70% mentioned by 996, a number that seems to be achievable soon.

Lu Mingye lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes blocking his expression. It was unknown what he was thinking. Chen Zui was negotiating with the nurse and doctor about the precautions for childbirth.

Lu Mingye's contractions were so intense that he had no time to think about anything else. He held Chen Zui's hand and pinched it until it turned red. Chen Zui kept leading him to take deep breaths to relieve the pain.

Chen Zui was also nervous. His face was pale the whole time, but he didn't show it.

The doctor came to check again and said, "You can go to the delivery room now."

Chen Zui accompanied Lu Mingye into the delivery room. He believed that those were the most thrilling two hours of his life. Lu Mingye screamed until he lost his voice and was almost exhausted. He looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, and his hands were pinched and bitten.

With a cry, he and Lu Mingye's baby was born safely and smoothly.

Chen Zui looked at Lu Mingye with red eyes, and Lu Mingye also looked back at him. When their eyes met, Lu Mingye saw that his favorability towards Chen Zui had increased to 60%.

Chen Zui stroked his hair and kissed him on the cheek lovingly: "Thank you for your hard work."

The doctor and nurse wrapped the baby up and brought it to them: "Congratulations, it's a girl."

The two looked at the baby in surprise. Chen Zui took the baby from the nurse's hands quite skillfully. He had practiced how to hold the baby with a pillow. The little baby looked like a dough ball, with long eyebrows and big eyes. His black eyes looked lively. Chen Zui turned the baby towards Lu Mingye.

The moment Lu Mingye saw the baby, tears immediately fell from his eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Zui quickly put his arm around his shoulders and started to coax him.

Miraculously, after he cried, the little baby stopped crying. She slowly waved her little hands and touched Lu Mingye's face. The soft touch made Lu Mingye feel that he was willing to give his life to her.

The birth went smoothly, the baby was healthy, and two days later, the couple was discharged from the hospital and went home with their daughter.

Chen Zui held a tightly wrapped small basket with cute knitted flowers wrapped around it in one hand, and supported Lu Mingye with the other hand. The snow on the eaves melted in the sunshine. Winter was leaving and spring was about to come.

——

The little baby was naked and sunbathing by the floor-to-ceiling window. The sunlight fell on her, making her look furry, shiny and cute. Lu Mingye looked at her with a face full of love.

I finally understand why monsters love to eat children. This looks really delicious, and he also wants to take a few bites. The amazing thing is that he doesn’t even dislike the baby’s feet. Instead, he thinks they are delicious and wants to take a bite as soon as he picks them up.

Chen Zui was making nutritious meals for Lu Mingye during the confinement period in the kitchen. This stage was the most important and Lu Mingye must not be allowed to lack nutrition. Having witnessed with his own eyes the difficulties of pregnancy and childbirth, Chen Zui felt distressed whenever he thought of Lu Mingye who had experienced all this personally.

Aotian: [By the way, I haven’t finished what I said last time.]

Chen Zui couldn't remember for a moment which conversation it was referring to.

Aotian: [Just last time you said you wouldn't go to other worlds anymore. Actually, the next person you're going to capture is still him, Jiang Mo, Li Jingtang, and Lu Mingye. We've said before that these three worlds are all aspects of his personality.]

This really surprised Chen the most. He thought he was lucky to be the same person in three worlds.

【who is he? 】

Aotian: [I don't know about that either. I only know that you are all targeting the same person. Once all the tasks are completed, you will meet in the final world.]

Aotian: [So you must proceed with the next strategy, otherwise it will not be complete, and the suspended small world will not be able to resume operation.]

Aotian: [That is to say, only if you succeed, he will be complete. ]

Chen Zui turned and looked at Lu Mingye: [The complete him...]

Aotian: [I understand what you mean. The targets of the small world's missions all have a certain characteristic of him magnified, which is why the three of them have such distinct personalities. When you succeed, he will also restore the memories of these small worlds. He is them.]

Chen Zui: [I understand, but I will still stay with Lu Mingye until the end of his life.]

Aotian: [Well, let us grow up together with the baby~]

——

Lu Mingye secretly held the baby in the bedroom and fed him. He always felt embarrassed to do this, even though he not only fed the little baby, but also had an older baby who secretly fed him every night.

He handed the full baby to Chen Zui to burp him. The two sat together and looked at this miniature thing. It was really smaller than they had imagined, and cuter than they had imagined. Every move of it touched their hearts.

It is no exaggeration to say that when a baby farts, they think she is awesome and cute.

With the addition of a baby, their lives have been filled with more surprises and fun. Every day is peaceful and happy. In a blink of an eye, the baby is already one month old and is raised by the two of them to be chubby and adorable.

Lu Mingye dressed the baby in pink strawberry clothes, revealing the baby's arms and legs that looked like lotus roots, and put a green headband with strawberry leaves on the baby's head. He couldn't help but gently bite the baby's arm, and bit a mouthful of flesh.

Chen Zui took the baby from his hands. The baby tilted his head and looked at him with a smile. His eyes were like black grapes and his little mouth was pink and tender.

Chen Zui pinched the baby under his armpits and lifted him up high. The room was filled with the baby's giggling sound. His two short legs kicked hard and his short arms flapped their wings.

Lu Mingye looked at this scene with a happy smile on his face. He saw that his favorability towards Chen Zui had reached 65%. In fact, this was the value he had deliberately restrained himself from doing.

His eyes fell tenderly and greedily on Chen Zui's face as he coaxed the child. He really wanted to confirm one question, to confirm whether he was deceiving himself or not.

Lu Mingye could no longer bear this kind of life where he had to carefully suppress his emotions and worry about that number.

At this ordinary moment, he decided to be himself who dared to love and hate.

"Chen Zui."

Chen Zui put the baby down and held him in his arms. The little thing lay softly in his arms, drooling and biting his fingers, and even tried to bite Chen Zui's chin. It hadn't grown any teeth yet, and was really a toothless little guy.

Chen Zui looked at Lu Mingye: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Lu Mingye looked at him and smiled: "I love you."

The favorability value reached 100% almost instantly, which was the highest value that the favorability screen could display.

Chen Zui came to him, bent down and kissed his forehead: "I love you too."

Turning the baby towards Lu Mingye: "Baby loves daddy the most too~"

The baby stretched out his hands and asked Lu Mingye to hold him. Lu Mingye took the baby. No matter whether Chen Zui left or stayed, they had loved each other and they had a baby, which was enough.

Aotian: [Wow, the favorability has reached 100%. I feel a little better now. Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable if the favorability was always around 60%.]

It's as if Lu Mingye doesn't love his host that much, and it feels sad for the host.

Time passed day by day, month by month, year by year, and Chen Zui was still here, neither disappearing nor leaving.

One-year-old Lu Chen can already walk unsteadily and can even jog at a brisk pace.

The little guy was playing hide-and-seek with his dads today. He hid in the curtains, lay down, and stuck his chubby butt out.

Chen Zui and Lu Mingye looked at each other and burst out laughing.

They circled around the little guy.

"Where's the baby?"

Lu Chen crawled out and laughed, and then it became even more excessive. She hugged Chen Zui's legs and buried her face, even though she was hiding.

Really...

Spoil your own child.

At night, Lu Mingye was lying on his side and patting the little guy. The bed behind him sank, and then a hand was placed on his waist. He patted the baby, and Chen Zui patted him.

Lu Mingye was amused: "I'm not a child."

Chen moved closer, their chests pressed against each other's backs. "You can be a child."

Chen Zui clapped his hands and ran into Lu Chen's pajamas to get his food.

Lu Mingye blushed: "Don't make trouble, the child is here."

Chen Zui leaned over to take a look and saw the little guy sleeping with a pacifier in his mouth and a red face.

"It's okay, I'm going to sleep."

"As long as you keep your voice down."

Chen Zui turned Lu Ming's head around, kissed her, and pinched her twice until her hands were stained with milk.

Lu Mingye turned around carefully and hugged Chen Zui, looking at the 100% favorability and the lover who was always by his side.

Chen Zui did not lie to him.
