Chapter 378 Joining the Resistance (9) - Si Zhong Kicks Down the Door

The minister continued:

"We Soya people have difficulty conceiving; that's the price we have to pay for extending our lifespan."

You humans are different from us. I never expected that you would get pregnant so soon after you got together with Ah Zhong.

Ah Zhong became a father at the age of 27, making him the first person in nearly a hundred years for us Soya people.

I don't know if it's because you and Ah Zhong are from different planets, or because of your physical condition, that you were born prematurely.

Or perhaps it should be said that your near-death experience led to premature birth.

Huh? She was once on the verge of death?

Ning Shu was unaware of this matter; she tried to recall it but seemed to have no memory of it.

No, that's not right, there are!

In the game, she was unwell for a period of time, and once she was in particularly bad pain. Si Zhong gave her medicine, but it didn't work, so he disappeared.

It must have been that time!

At that time, she not only gave birth in real life, but also almost died.

Thinking of this, Ning Shu felt cold in her hands and feet.

Death struck without her knowledge; she almost...died inexplicably.

Si Chen noticed Ning Shu's pale face, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly, and continued:

"You were already seven months pregnant at that time, and the fetus was already formed. The doctor said that at least the baby could be saved."

Ah Zhong disagreed and insisted on saving you and the child, but the doctor couldn't do that.

Finally, someone suggested that they perform a cesarean section to remove the baby and then reconstruct your body… Ah Zhong accepted.

Ning Shu had heard the term "reshaping the body" before, so she wasn't surprised.

There were no scars on her abdomen, so Si Chen's words were probably true.

At this moment, Si Chen stood up from behind his desk, walked to Ning Shu, and looked down at her.

Although Ning Shu was nervous, she held firm to the principle of not losing face even if she lost, and looked back directly at him.

Si Chen was about the same height as Si Zhong, and since he was standing, from Ning Shu's perspective, he looked like a mountain standing right in front of her.

Si Chen hadn't expected Ning Shu to look at him like that at this moment:

"So now, you are no longer considered human. Your body, reconstructed by cells provided by us Soya people, should belong to Soya."

Ning Shu sneered: "What do you want to say?"

Si Chen: "We, Soya Star, gave you a second life. You should be loyal to us, not to humans, and certainly not to the rebels."

Ning Shu didn't speak, but that didn't mean she agreed with Si Chen's statement. In her heart, Blue Star was her home, and China had nurtured and raised her.

She was born a Chinese, and she died a Chinese soul; no one can change that.

Si Chen reached out a hand and patted Ning Shu on the shoulder, bent down and whispered in her ear, "So don't be ungrateful. We can give you a second life, and we can take it back."

No sooner had Si Chen finished speaking than the door to the room was slammed open with a loud bang!

The two looked over at the same time—it was Si Zhong!

A person followed him in; it was the one who brought Ning Shu with him.

The other person bowed to Si Chen and apologized: "Mr. Si, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop Mr. Si..."

"Go down." Si Chensi didn't mean to blame him, and the man slipped away after hearing that.

After Si Zhong kicked the door open, Si Chen withdrew his hand and stood up straight.

However, Si Zhong had still witnessed what had just happened. Thinking that Si Chen was about to do something to Ning Shu, he quickly stepped forward and pulled Ning Shu behind him.

"Brother, if you have a problem, come at me. Don't make things difficult for her."

Si Chen was speechless: "You're overthinking it. I'm just welcoming her back."

Si Zhong gave him a "Do you think I believe that?" look: "You don't even like her, so why would you welcome her?"

He paused for a moment, then added, "Oh, right, the merits I earned before, if I need to be punished for them, I'll take their place."

Si Chen sighed like an old father: "A son grows up and leaves home; are you planning to marry into his wife's family?"

The last sentence had a different meaning to the other two people.

The two of them were unusually silent at the same time.

Si Chen looked at Si Zhonghong's earlobe and sensed something was wrong: "Are you really planning to marry into the family?"

Si Zhong didn't say anything, but pulled Ning Shu back, saying, "Brother, I have something to do, so I'm taking her with me."

Si Chen chuckled inwardly. What could possibly happen if you take her away?

He didn't stop the two from leaving; instead, he said, "Let's invite Miss Ning to dinner another day."

Who wants to have dinner with you!

Let's skip the meal!

Ning Shu and Si Zhong both thought to themselves that it was better not to go through this trap.

Si Zhong was worried about leaving Ning Shu at Chongzheng Tower, so he immediately summoned a flying vehicle to bring her back to the manor.

Ning Shu's mind was still replaying Si Chen's words, and after returning to the manor, she couldn't help but ask:

"Your brother said that you told the rebels to hand me over, and then they betrayed me. Is that true?"

Si Zhong was surprised that Ning Shu knew about it, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

When Ning Shu saw Si Zhong hesitate for a moment, she realized that what Si Chen said was true.

"So it's true that he said my body was reconstructed?"

Si Zhong fell silent again.

"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

Si Zhong thought for a moment and shook his head: "No."

Ning Shu sighed, "I'm a little tired, I'm going to take a nap."

It was only a little past 3 p.m., and Si Zhong understood Ning Shu's meaning: "I'll stay with you."

Ning Shu glanced at him, said nothing, and tacitly agreed to Si Zhong's suggestion. The two of them lay down on the bed together.

Ning Shu initially had her back to Si Zhong. Si Zhong stared at Ning Shu's back, feeling somewhat uneasy. He didn't know how things had turned out this way.

He knew Ning Shu was in a lot of pain, but he didn't know how to help her.

Suddenly, Ning Shu turned to face Si Zhong. Si Zhong thought she had something to say, but she remained silent.

After a while, Si Zhong felt Ning Shu's hand slip under the hem of his clothes, her palm moving upwards along his skin from his abdomen.

Si Zhong wasn't sure if that was what he thought she meant, but he remained motionless, afraid of upsetting her again.

Ning Shu was somewhat annoyed to see that the person who would pounce on her at the slightest hint of wanting to do that was now unmoved.

But she had already taken the first step, and she was unwilling to stop and let him laugh at her.

She moved closer to Si Zhong's neck and began to peck at him lightly.

She sensed that Si Zhong's breathing had become noticeably heavier, but he still didn't make a sound.

Did he no longer have feelings for her? Ning Shu was annoyed; she should have just gone to sleep.

Forget it, I won't tease him anymore.

Ning Shu moved her body back a little, and withdrew her hand from Si Zhong's clothes, preparing to turn her back to Si Zhong.

As a result, the moment her hand was pulled back, she was pinned to the bed.

Si Zhong pressed himself against her and said fiercely, "You started this fire, and now you want to just quit? No way! I'll teach you a lesson!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Ning Shu's pink lips, their lips and tongues intertwining, making smacking sounds.

His hands began to roam over Ning Shu's body, and gradually, their clothes were scattered all over the floor...
