Lu Shiyan gently carried Su Wan into the car and placed her in the back seat. After reaching its peak, the cramps in Su Wan's lower abdomen strangely weakened, and a warm feeling followed.
A faint halo of light shone through the skin of her abdomen that was pressed against her clothes, faint at first and then gradually clearer.
Xiao Han suddenly raised his head from the rearview mirror, his body leaning forward uncontrollably, his Adam's apple rolling. What is that? Why is it glowing?
"Then..." Xiao Han's voice was dry, and he was about to speak almost instinctively. A large hand with distinct joints suddenly covered his mouth.
Lu Shiyan's voice was extremely low with an imperceptible solemnity. His eyes swept across the halo on Su Wan's abdomen, and then glanced at Xiao Han: "This child... I'm afraid he is not ordinary."
Xiao Han's heart skipped a beat. Could it be... this child also... He widened his eyes in fear and looked at Su Wan's abdomen.
Su Wan had a high fever again. The situation was exactly the same as when she was in the villa, fierce and frighteningly hot. Lu Shiyan quickly found a relatively safe abandoned hut. Su Wan's current condition was simply unable to continue the bumpy ride.
The high fever lasted for a day and a night. Su Wan remained unconscious, occasionally uttering painful mutterings.
Lu Shiyan stayed by her side all the time, brows furrowed, and wiped her hot forehead and body with a wet towel over and over again.
Xiao Han tactfully did not mention the matter of the halo again. He just stood guard around him silently, but his eyes would occasionally drift in Su Wan's direction with a hint of inquiry and uneasiness.
At noon on the third day, Su Wan's eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes. Her vision went from blurry to clear, and the first thing she saw was Lu Shiyan's bloodshot eyes and the dark stubble on his chin.
He was still guarding by the bed, and when he saw her wake up, his tense expression relaxed slightly.
"Lu Shiyan, what's wrong with me?" Su Wan's voice was hoarse, with the weakness of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. She felt like she was being torn apart and reassembled, and her whole body was in pain.
Lu Shiyan reached out and touched her forehead. The fever had subsided. He asked in a deep voice, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
Su Wan subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and the cramping pain she felt before was gone. She shook her head slightly, frowned, and felt it for a while, only to feel sticky and uncomfortable all over, and her clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to her body. "It doesn't hurt anymore, but... I feel uncomfortable all over."
Lu Shiyan hummed, and got up to prepare hot water and food. Su Wan grabbed his hand.
"Lu Shiyan..." Her voice was very soft, but every word was clear, "I felt something was wrong with the child. When I was in the research institute, I was thrown out by the mutant twice, with such a strong impact..."
She let out a suppressed sob in her throat. "The child... the child didn't react at all." Tears fell uncontrollably, hitting the back of her hand, burning.
"If it were a normal pregnant woman, she would have…won't have been able to keep the baby long ago."
"But it didn't. It was just so quiet. So quiet... scary."
"Besides," she took a deep breath, "I always have a fever for no apparent reason. Every time I have a fever, my stomach... I always have that sharp pain..."
Lu Shiyan looked at her red eyes, her face was still slightly red after a long fever, and she looked so haggard that it made people feel distressed. This woman, who was pregnant with his child, was full of fear at this moment.
He suddenly pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." He patted her back gently to soothe her trembling body.
"I suspect the child has super powers like me."
"After the light appeared, I had some guesses. When you had a fever, I tried to explore it, and the energy in the child's body was very active."
Lu Shiyan's tone was calm, "When he was in your mother's belly, he didn't know how to restrain his strength, so he hurt you."
"It's okay, it will be fine." He paused, and his voice lowered a few notches, with a strange tenderness.
"I have tried to establish a connection with him and guide him to restrain his power, but it may take some time."
Su Wan's body froze, and she looked up at him with tearful eyes. The shock made her forget to cry for a moment. Superpowers? Children? Communication? How... how is this possible?
Lu Shiyan looked at her stunned expression, his eyes softened. He reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her cheek with his fingertips.
"He is very special." Lu Shiyan spoke again, his voice firm, "Try to communicate with him."
communicate?
Su Wan subconsciously lowered her eyes and looked at her still flat belly with only a slight curve. It was almost four months, and there was almost no sign of pregnancy, so she often ignored the existence of this little life.
Try to communicate?
Su Wan took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly due to nervousness.
She closed her eyes and tried to block out all the noise from the outside world.
Focus all your thoughts on that small spot in your abdomen.
【Baby……】
She called softly in her heart.
[Can you...hear Mommy talking? ]
Time passes by every second.
Just when she was about to give up——
An extremely weak, yet extremely clear wave came from the abdomen.
Very light.
Very soft.
With a kind of...wet feeling of closeness.
Su Wan suddenly opened his eyes and his breathing became rapid!
Not an illusion!
There is really a response!
Although it was so faint that it was almost difficult to perceive, she really felt it!
At this moment, an indescribable shock and ecstasy swept through her limbs.
She covered her lower abdomen and tears burst out again.
Excited.
Unbelievable.
It is more like... a real touch of blood connection.
It turns out that there really is a lively little life here.
Su Wan was shaking with excitement, her vision blurred by tears. She grabbed Lu Shiyan's arm suddenly, and her voice changed.
"Lu Shiyan! Baby...baby responded to me!"
Her voice was filled with incredible ecstasy, and every word trembled.
Lu Shiyan held her hand with his backhand, his palm was warm and dry, with a soothing power.
He lowered his head, stared at her with his deep eyes, and a gentle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“I feel it.”
His voice was low and pleasant, like the sound of a cello passing through Su Wan's heart.
"He likes you very much."
Su Wan's heart was pounding, and joy overwhelmed her like a tide.
She was crying and laughing, and her speech was incoherent.
"He really... He really..."
Lu Shiyan raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks with his fingertips, his movements as gentle as if he was treating a fragile treasure.
"Don't think too much about it yet."
"You just used up too much energy. You need to rest."
As he spoke, he helped Su Wan lie down slowly, tucked the quilt for her, and then got up to prepare hot water and food.
Outside the door.
Xiao Han and A'mo heard the conversation in the room clearly. They were both shocked and gasped.
They looked at each other, and could see the deep horror in each other's eyes.
The child... has super powers?
Can you communicate with your mother in the womb?
This fucking thing...is still a baby in the womb!
How crazier will this world get?
