Although Xue Qianyu doesn't seem like that kind of person, who can really explain such a thing as physical instinct?
Then she continued to think, what if she was pregnant and had to endure the pain of childbirth? She had seen Peng Yizhu give birth before, and oh my god, those heart-wrenching screams, even after she had given her the jade beads!
What if I'm not with my parents and Xinxin when I give birth? What if I have a difficult childbirth?
In the book, Xue Qianyu is someone who takes concubines. She died in childbirth, leaving behind a child. Wasn't that child just as pitiful as Lu Zheng?
She started thinking again about what would happen if something happened to Xue Qianyu.
Fortunately, Cai Xiaolian came into the room, interrupting her wild thoughts.
"Mother." Gu Nian blinked and looked at Cai Xiaolian.
"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to get married?" Cai Xiaolian sat down next to her with a smile and took her hand. "You're only two streets away from home, you can come back every day, what's there to be reluctant about?"
Gu Nian pursed her lips, not daring to voice her wild thoughts, fearing she might get a beating if she did.
"Do you want your mother to prepare two books to keep as treasures?" Cai Xiaolian asked with a smile, seeing her silly look.
She rarely saw Gu Nian look silly; she looked especially cute.
"Huh?" Gu Nian was taken aback, then shook her head after realizing what she meant. "No need. Sister Zhen showed it to me. It wasn't as intense as the ones we used to watch in the dorm."
"What? You were reading that stuff when you were in school?" This time it was Cai Xiaolian's turn to be surprised.
“Yes, I have! Humans are living beings too. We students who study life sciences also need to understand the human body, understand…” Gu Nian answered seriously, but was interrupted by Cai Xiaolian before she could finish.
"Stop!" Cai Xiaolian looked at Gu Nian suspiciously. "I remember you were doing experiments on plants!"
"Haha, Mom, I really did watch it. And I watched it properly. One of our teaching assistants found it. It's about gender equality; we can't just let men watch it and not us women! The first time I watched it, I thought, 'What is this? It doesn't look fun. I'd rather not have a man.' I even thought about not getting married and just having kids. But then I thought, a father is still a very important role. Even though it doesn't look fun, I'll reluctantly get married for the sake of the kids!" Gu Nian explained with a laugh.
Cai Xiaolian wasn't so calm as to tell Gu Nian whether something was fun or not. She looked at Gu Nian for a while, and finally swallowed what she was about to say.
"Well, we can talk about this after you get married. Since you don't want it, then I won't give it to you!" Cai Xiaolian said.
"No, no. Sister Zhen has plenty of information; she's already read through all the books and knows the steps very well." Gu Nian nodded.
"..." Cai Xiaolian was speechless. "Fine, fine!"
"Mother." Gu Nian suddenly grasped Cai Xiaolian's hand and said solemnly, "Do you think Xue Qianyu will treat me well in the future? Like Grandpa treated Grandma, like Father treated Mother, like Lu Zheng treated Xin Xin?"
Cai Xiaolian could tell that the girl was nervous!
She deeply understood the tension and trepidation before marriage, but she had made the wrong gamble back then, which led to a failed marriage. After coming to ancient times and sharing a bed with Gu Shouxin for nearly two years, they naturally became a real couple, so she was no longer so apprehensive.
Xue Qianyu seems like a reliable kid, and she trusts him.
