day 7
"Sister, how did the world become like this?"
"I don't know either."
-
In order to preserve Meimi's dignity and honor after her death, Xia Ning and Xiong Xue chose cremation.
Xiong Xue carefully collected the ashes and will later hand them over to the twins.
He awkwardly held the two frail infants in his arms. Xiong Xue knew nothing about it, and Xia Ning only had a vague understanding.
Xia Ning mixed some nutritional supplements into the milk powder and instructed Xiong Xue to feed it to them.
She didn't dare to use too much, only diluting one-third of the tube. Xia Ning told herself that this was a one-time exception, and she would not interfere with whether the twins could be raised in the future.
They were so small and fragile, like two kittens, as if a gust of wind could blow them away.
Xiong Xue used the down jacket that Mei Mi had previously used as a cushion to make swaddles for the babies. Looking at the two little girls, each about the size of a palm, he said to Xia Ning:
“I asked Sister Meimi before what names I was going to give the children. Sister Meimi said it was not too late to think about it after the birth. I was thinking that their father would choose the formal names, and we would choose nicknames.”
Xia Ning said, "It's your decision."
Of course, Memi wouldn't name the children; she wished she could erase all traces of herself from the twins' world, and even her own name was a pseudonym.
Xiong Xue thought about it seriously for a while, then asked, "How about Xiao Mei or Xiaomi?"
Xia Ning affirmed, "It's great."
Xiong Xue then looked at the twins with concern: "I didn't quite catch their father's name either, Xue... his surname is Xue? Sister, did you hear me?"
Xia Ning shook her head.
Xiong Xue sighed, "There are so many people in Gan Guo, how are we supposed to find them?"
Xia Ning remained noncommittal.
Xiong Xue quickly rallied his spirits and swore to the two children, "Until I find their father, I will be their father."
Xia Ning thought that Mei Mi must have opened the basement door because she was betting on his words.
She must have observed in secret for a long time before choosing Xiong Xue.
It's quite strange that Xiong Xue was abandoned by the entire tour group overnight.
However, despite all the scheming involved, objectively speaking, Meimi did save Xiong Xue's life.
If Xiong Xue goes with a tour group, he'll only die on the way.
Xue was probably named after Xia Ning, who called Xiong Xue by the character "Xue".
It's impossible for Memi to let the children find their father; it's safest for them to never know who their father is.
Conversely, how much of what she said to Xia Ning was true?
Since she was able to trigger the mission, Memi could not possibly be an ordinary pregnant woman.
A side story is always intricately connected to the main story.
Did the researcher inject anything, or was Memi herself fed anything without her knowledge?
The genes inherited from twins are mostly found in the woman. For the experimenters, would using genetics to dilute and digest viruses make multiple births more feasible than single births?
Was it destined from the beginning that Memi would be transferred to the research lab?
Some things may sound absurd, but reality is often more absurd than the average person imagines.
Time will tell.
Xia Ning, a passerby who only stayed for a month, may never see the answer.
Just like the mist in the misty town, it will continue to shroud the land even after she leaves.
The only thing worth acknowledging is that Memi gave it her all for her child.
Even though she couldn't participate in their growth, she gave the twins a lifetime of love.
