Yan Shi finally gave in, deleting all the fancy ideas and keeping only her favorite one. She spent three days creating a full album of wedding photos, all of which she had carefully selected.
"Fortunately, all the hard work wasn't for nothing." Yan Shi loved it so much that he would hold it and flip through it whenever he had free time.
"You won't hug a real person if there's one there."
"That's different."
Sangzhi and the Sang family reconciled. When Yanshi was taking wedding photos, she even brought her camera and captured many classic moments.
Sangzhi is going back to District Nine. Before leaving, she asked Yanshi when he planned to get married.
"I haven't planned on it. I don't like crowds, my parents aren't here, and we can't get a marriage certificate. We've already taken wedding photos and bought a wedding dress, so the wedding doesn't really mean anything to me."
"What are Zhuang Zhao's thoughts?"
"I forgot."
Yan Shi was used to making decisions on her own, because she would always consult others for their opinions. She always thought she was quite equal, but now she realized that there were some things she never intended to take Zhuang Zhao's opinion into account in the first place.
"Maybe we'll do it in the future, and I'll let you know when that happens."
"Wait, it's nothing, goodbye."
She and Zhuang Zhao are currently deeply in love, so she needs to prepare for contraception in advance. If contraception is hard to find, she'll have to switch to short-acting birth control pills. Although short-acting birth control pills have fewer side effects, even the smallest side effects are still bad for the body, not to mention that some people have severe reactions. She dares not joke around with her own health.
After Sangzhi left, Gu Fu also left, and District Seven returned to its usual tranquility.
Only Yan Shi's life is always full of surprises.
Yan Shi went to the farm as usual. The baby rabbits that were born a few days ago were ready to leave their nest. They hopped around happily. Yan Shi was reluctant to leave and didn't leave the farm until it was dark.
Zhuang Zhao would arrive in a while. Yan Shi walked slowly along the roadside. As she walked, she heard someone call her name. When she turned around, she saw a long-haired woman. Given the weather and atmosphere, Yan Shi took two steps back.
"It's me, the one who kidnapped you and took you hostage before."
"What are you doing here? Is your child lost again?" Yan Shi was still in shock. If it weren't for the guardrail, she might have fallen into the ditch by the roadside. Although this woman was beautiful, nothing good ever came of her.
"No, I've thought about what you told me before, and I think you're right. It's really not good for the child to stay with us, so I want him to live with humans."
"And then?" Yan Shi had a bad feeling. Surely she couldn't be asked to help lead them into District Seven.
"I think you're quite assertive. Could you help me take care of my child? I'll pay you."
"No, I'm unmarried and childless, how would I take care of a child? Besides, I don't like children. And even if we take a step back, who can be sure that the child isn't dangerous? Let alone help you take care of the child, it's impossible for me to even just bring you in."
"Please be lenient, I'll go with you, and I won't cause you any trouble."
"Your very presence is already causing a lot of trouble for people."
After another round of bickering, Yan Shi couldn't leave. She wished Yan Shi wasn't human but some kind of alien so she could just swallow her up in a black hole and save herself from further fuss.
When Zhuang Zhao arrived, his first reaction upon seeing the beauty was to shield Yan Shi behind him.
"Just agree, otherwise it's not good for me to keep harassing you. Or I could ask my partner to cause trouble for your friends? I have many ways to force you to comply."
Yan Shi: How come you haven't been beaten to death yet, you're so annoying?
Yan Shi suddenly thought of Si Yue, who was so arrogant that even he couldn't do anything to her, so she shouldn't try to put up with it either.
"Okay, I agree, but we need to make the rules clear beforehand, so you don't run away after causing trouble."
"No problem, no problem."
On the way back, Yan Shi contacted Quan Hou and first took the baby for a check-up to confirm that the baby was human. Then, he put a positioning bracelet on the baby's wrist and implanted a positioning chip in the beauty's body.
"Alien species are not allowed to enter Zone Seven, nor can they threaten the lives and property of others. They must abide by our rules and morals, and resolve any trouble they cause themselves, okay?"
"no problem."
“We’re staying at a friend’s house, and we don’t have room for you two. Do you have the money to rent a place?”
“We don’t have money, but we have valuable things. You’re short of medicinal herbs right now, right? I’ve prepared a truckload, which should be enough to rent a house. Tell me what’s expensive in the mountains, and I’ll have them go looking for it. We have plenty of Ganoderma lucidum, red mushrooms, herbs, timber, and fruits.”
Yan Shi: I suddenly feel that she is so awesome.
After settling the mother and daughter into a nearby hotel and returning home, Yan Shi recalled the way her baby looked at her with open eyes, and an irrational voice in her heart said: So well-behaved and cute!
The woman's surname is Su, Su Chengyin. The baby takes the mother's surname and is named Su Zhong.
Yan Shi didn't know what a normal baby who was almost two months old looked like, but Su Zhong was definitely not like a two-month-old baby. Not only could he crawl and roll over, but his eyes seemed to understand what you were saying and could read your expressions. It was amazing.
Su Meiren was always clinging to Yan Shi. When Yan Shi went to the farm, she would carry the child and follow him. When Yan Shi went to work in the fields, she would watch over him, pouring him a glass of water and handing him a snack from time to time, which led people to mistakenly believe that she and Yan Shi were a couple.
Yan Shi doesn't go home for lunch. Sometimes Zhuang Zhao brings him food, and sometimes he eats directly in the cafeteria. After Su Meiren arrived, Yan Shi's lunches are all bento boxes made by her. They just need to be heated up and are much more upscale than those in the cafeteria.
Zhuang Zhao had bumped into him a few times. He frowned and stuffed the insulated lunchbox he had brought into Yan Shi's hand. As for Su Meiren's portion, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, he ate it.
Although I've gained weight during this time, and although Su Meiren's cooking skills are quite good, especially her signature boneless chicken feet, cumin chicken hearts, braised pig's trotters, and stir-fried pork intestines, which are absolutely superb.
But Yan Shi still felt a little awkward. After thinking about it for a while, he figured out the problem at noon: their time together had been disturbed.
So Yan Shi intentionally reduced the number of times he went to the farm, and then Su Meiren began to visit him.
Yan Shi was caught in a dilemma: opening the door was problematic, but not opening it was also problematic.
"Aren't you going back to see your loved one?"
"He's busy unifying the country."
"Which country will you rule?"
"The alien species near District Seven, he's already king of District Nine, what's the point of ruling over it?"
"So they're killing each other?"
"It's not about killing. It's either about submission or being beaten into submission. Only those who refuse to submit even in the face of death will be beaten to death."
Aren't you worried about him?
"It's not that I'm not worried, but the desire to pursue the king is ingrained in their bones. I can't stop them, so I've come to terms with it."
"Right now, all I'm thinking about is taking good care of my baby."
Yan Shi: It doesn't sound like an enviable love story; it's frighteningly realistic, much like the ancient tales of heroes and beauties. Heroes have always loved beauties, but they wouldn't risk everything for a woman, as that would be considered shameful. Protecting the country, achieving great deeds, and the struggle for the throne among princes—everything is more important to a hero than the person he loves.
Yan Shi was getting used to the two of them being together in his life. Su Meiren would put the baby in Yan Shi's arms and then disappear without a trace.
Yan Shi blinked. Although they had been together for a while, she had never hugged him before. Now he was in her arms, and she could clearly feel the soft skin of a child through the contact between their arms. It was a wonderful feeling.
The baby seemed uncomfortable, kicking his legs and whimpering. Yan Shi quickly put him in the stroller, afraid that her hand would slip and drop him.
