Gu Hang's blood will modify Su Cha's body, but that's a matter for later.
Time passed second by second, and Gu Hang's face grew paler and paler. Beads of sweat dampened the hair on his forehead and temples, making it stick tightly to his skin.
It took a full twenty minutes to complete the fusion, by which time Su Cha's originally healthy pink lips had turned bluish-purple.
This signifies a successful blood transfusion and indicates that Su Cha is no longer a hot-blooded human, but has begun to become one of his kind, his family.
This is not what he wanted to see.
Gu Hang touched Su Cha's slightly cool cheek, thinking that he would never be able to touch the warm Su Cha again, and felt a mix of emotions.
After the initial embrace, there was a long period of adaptation. It's hard to explain why Su Cha's body was modified by Gu Hang's blood. She started to resemble a young vampire, unable to tolerate sunlight and becoming so weak at midday that she would faint. If this external environment could be overcome, the biggest problem was the change in Su Cha's stomach. The food she normally ate would not be absorbed, yet she had to keep eating more to stimulate her stomach to adapt. As a result, she would vomit everything she ate, and she became extremely thin, almost unrecognizable. Because of this extreme thinness, her skin became loose, and she didn't even have wrinkles. She looked like an old woman in an instant, to exaggerate.
Gu Hang's blood was continuously fed to Su Cha like a nutrient solution, and of course, human blood was also indispensable. Well, since this was the home planet, the blood that could be provided was naturally that of the native inhabitants of the home planet.
At first, Su Cha's body couldn't even absorb fresh blood. She relied solely on consuming her own energy and absorbing the little energy from Gu Hang's blood, and only gradually recovered later.
Afterwards, Su Cha apologized to Gu Hang and explained her thoughts at the time. She was really frightened when she opened her eyes and felt the strangeness in her body. She did not expect that becoming a family member was not a matter of a moment, but a long time, and a long time with life-threatening risks. It was only because Gu Hang had worked so hard that she survived.
So, under Gu Hang's meticulous care, Su Cha endured the bad mood caused by her illness and acted as a good child. She ate whatever Gu Hang brought her, and if she vomited, she would eat it again. Gu Hang asked her to exercise, and she endured stumbling and crawling around with zero control over her body, which she considered exercise... In short, she did whatever Gu Hang asked her to do without arguing, and was unbelievably obedient.
Consider it the price for being with Gu Hang forever. We survived, didn't we? We can't afford any problems during this final adjustment period.
Others were unaware of Su Cha's situation, and only her close relatives knew a little about it. Su Cha had no intention of letting others become Gu Hang's family members, such as her younger brother Yue and her son Yifan.
Putting aside the title of exclusively possessing Gu Hang's family, she believed that others still had various ties and that everyone had their own destiny. Recklessly violating the laws of nature would inevitably be punished by them. She herself didn't mind, but others should stay out of it.
“That’s true, my royalties are more than enough to support Erwang.” Yan Shi said, laughing so hard he bent over.
After finishing his meal, Yan Shi was full of energy, holding banknotes and arranging Kui Mei's performance, showing no sign of wanting to sleep.
Zhuang Zhao couldn't stay awake any longer and put the twins to sleep first. Yan Shi turned on the small desk lamp, scribbled down an idea, and then looked up at Zhuang Zhao and the other two.
What a blissful life.
Three days later, Yan Shi contacted Kui Mei and explained the plan to him in detail.
"The stage has been set up for you, now it's up to you to perform."
Yan Shi instructed Kui Mei to approach Catherine with a mixture of surprise and sincerity, and to have an open and honest conversation. Before Kui Mei went to talk to her, she needed to prepare Catherine mentally.
After talking with Catherine, I estimate I'm 90% confident. The remaining 10% depends entirely on how Kui Mei performs. If he accidentally steps on Catherine's landmines, then no one can save him.
After finishing with other people's business, it's time to take care of your own.
After returning to District 7, Zhuang Zhao and Yifan helped take care of the children, and Yan Shi helped with cooking, resulting in a significant improvement in their meals and sleep quality.
Meanwhile, the twins' education also became a priority. Yan Shi felt that she was not a good teacher, and although Yi Fan liked to play with the children, she was not talkative. In the end, the twins' language development relied on Yi Fan.
Yan Shi: Yi Fan is such a well-behaved, sensible, smart and capable child. He is very promising.
With more free time, Yan Shi started thinking about side hustles, and Zhuang Zhao's suggestion of early retirement was indeed tempting.
Having Zhuang Zhao accompany her in rural life would definitely be much more interesting than her taking care of the children in the countryside by herself.
Therefore, she needs to make money to achieve retirement freedom as soon as possible and alleviate Zhuang Zhao's pressure to support his family.
After racking her brains for several days, she still couldn't figure out what kind of side job she could do, even though Catherine and her partner were already together.
"Don't think about it, I can support you." Zhuang Zhao hugged Yan Shi. These past few days, he had seen her always looking worried and muttering to herself. He thought she was thinking about a novel plot, but he didn't expect that she was worried about supporting the family.
"But I can't put all the pressure on you. I have to help out in some way."
"No need, really no need. If you start a side business or something, will I still be able to see you every day? If I don't see you, I won't be able to concentrate on my work. If I'm not able to concentrate on my work, I won't be able to develop new products. Without new products, I can only rely on my existing resources. You see, how much of an impact that would have."
"Glib-tongued".
"Seriously, instead of thinking about what job to do, you should think about how to treat me better. Right now, you're focusing all your attention on the twins and don't care about me at all."
Yan Shi spent a long time trying to appease and soothe this girl who was acting coquettishly.
This day was truly difficult.
When the twins were almost three years old, Yan Shi's novels started to take off. The royalties were not only enough to support Erwang, but also to cover her daily shopping expenses.
Seeing the balance in his retirement account growing larger and larger, Yan Shi finally made the tough decision to move his family back to his hometown and retire ahead of schedule.
Yifan stayed in District 7 to continue his studies. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was at the age where he was angry with his family and full of immature ideas. Although he did not fall out with Yan Shi and Zhuang Zhao, he had many secrets and thoughts. He had like-minded friends and did not want to stay at home for long.
Yan Shi was afraid that he would go astray when he was young, so he would give him ideological education every month.
There are things you absolutely must not touch, and things you can touch, but in moderation. You must not harm others, nor should you harm yourself.
Yifan still had some patience for Yan Shi. He still remembered the first time he came home late, Yan Shi cried and hit his butt with a mop handle. In the end, he had to coax Yan Shi back to peace, otherwise Zhuang Zhao would not let him off the hook. He should never forget that.
If he went back to the countryside, he wouldn't be able to see Yifan all the time, so Yan Shi made an agreement with him that he would write a diary for her every month and mail it to her, contact her by phone every week, and live together in the countryside during winter and summer vacations.
The curfew is still in effect; you can bring friends home, but not your girlfriend.
“You can have wild thoughts when you’re in school, but you can’t do anything reckless. If you really do something wrong, Zhuang Zhao and I won’t let you off the hook.”
"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. You're not at an age where you're ignorant and naive. You have to be responsible for your actions. So think things through carefully and make sure you can bear the consequences before you act."
Yan Shi couldn't help but nag a bit more. That's what raising a child is like. Although he felt that she hadn't done anything too outrageous, he still couldn't help but worry, afraid that he would be bullied, and also afraid that Ta would hurt others.
