enthusiasm?
Ying Xixi recalled the few months she had spent in the mermaid tribe, during which the tribesmen were all cold and indifferent to her.
Could it be that the reason they were so cold to her at that time was because they didn't know she was pregnant?
Ying Xixi: “….”
After the witch left, Ying Xixi went back and lay in her big shell.
She touched her belly, and the curve of the belly was much bigger than before, but it didn't look like she was about to give birth.
Judging from the human gestation period, her belly was about the size of a human woman who was five months pregnant.
Ying Xixi was thinking about these things when she looked up and saw a group of mermaids swimming towards her.
A quick glance revealed that there were more than a dozen mermaids, all of whom she had seen before.
"Xixi, why didn't you tell us you were pregnant?"
"Yes, you, my child, left the deep sea without a word, and returned with your cub without a word.
If the witch hadn't told us about your pregnancy, we wouldn't have known you gave birth."
A mermaid with a big red tail swam up to Ying Xixi and said with a smile.
Ying Xixi: “….”
It's confirmed. These tribesmen are so enthusiastic towards her because she is pregnant.
“Because I thought it was not a big deal, I didn’t tell anyone.
Besides, I am pregnant with a human child after all.
I don’t know whether the child will be human or mermaid, so I don’t dare tell anyone.”
Ying Xixi explained honestly.
"Being pregnant is a big deal! We mermaids don't have very good fertility. Even if we get pregnant and give birth to a baby, the chance of it surviving is very low.
As for whether you are pregnant with a human child, it doesn’t matter. The child you give birth to will always be a little fish with a complete mermaid form.
Having a baby is a big deal in our mermaid tribe!
Judging from your belly, it won't be long before you give birth. Before you give birth, you should get some sleep and get enough rest so that you can give birth to your little fish cubs."
The Red Fishtail tribe leader held Ying Xixi's hand and gave her instructions left and right.
Finally, the tribesmen gave the gifts they brought to Ying Xixi and left together.
Ying Xixi waved her fish tail and looked at the gifts sent by her tribesmen.
There are small fish and shrimps, beautiful shells and various marine creatures.
Well, except for the shells, everything else should be edible, right?
Unfortunately, she couldn't eat it all, so she waited for the baby fish to be born to see if they would eat it.
But...does the little fish want milk?
Ying Xixi: “….”
This really touched upon her blind spot in knowledge.
A new sun rose, and Lin Huaiye was awakened by the sunlight coming in through the gaps in the curtains on the big bed in the bedroom of the seaside villa.
The glaring sunlight made him frown and slowly wake up.
After pausing for two seconds, Lin Huaiye turned his head and looked around, but there was no one there.
Lin Huaiye's heart skipped a beat and he sat up abruptly.
“Xixi?!”
He raised his hand and found that one end of the chain was still on his wrist, but the other end, which should have been on Ying Xixi's wrist, was now handcuffed to the headboard of the bed.
Lin Huaye's heart began to beat violently.
He turned the mechanism on his wrist and quickly untied the chain.
He got out of bed and stood up, just as he was about to leave, when he saw the small conch beside his pillow out of the corner of his eye.
Lin Huaiye picked up the small conch and could already foresee that his bad premonition had become a reality.
He quickly went downstairs clutching the conch, and searched the house with a glimmer of hope, but still couldn't find the figure he wanted to see.
Lin Huaye gritted his teeth and turned on the surveillance video from last night.
It turned out that the surveillance video from last night was gone!
Lin Huaiye was so angry that he laughed.
"The little mermaid is really amazing, she can untie the chain and even hack the surveillance camera!
This is the second time! Haha, this is the second time Xixi has run away!
You'd better not let me catch you again, otherwise, I will really cut off your legs this time and make it impossible for you to escape from me again!"
Ying Xixi, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up with a shudder.
She sat up and pushed the large shell away, rubbing her arms in a daze.
"This chilling feeling on my back is so scary. Lin Huaiye must have woken up. He must be thinking about how to settle the score with me."
[Yes, host, you guessed it right. The male protagonist said that you'd better not let him catch you again, otherwise he will really chop off your legs and make it impossible for you to escape.]
Ying Xixi felt a chill on her fish tail, "......."
[Host, it seems that you really can't appear in front of the male protagonist anymore. The male protagonist doesn't look like he's joking.
We can’t lose our legs! 】
Ying Xixi's expression was complicated. "But system, if Lin Huaiye is in critical condition again, do you think I can not save him?"
This time the system was silent.
[...Of course not. If the hero dies, this plane will collapse, and our mission will fail.]
"Yeah, so unless Lin Huaiye stops seeking death and his life is no longer in danger, then I won't have to appear in front of him to save him.
I would also not be at risk of losing my legs.
But do you think it's possible?
Lin Huaiye is not someone who gives up so easily, not to mention that he and I have a child.
If one of the children I give birth to is really a pure human, then I will definitely send the child to him to raise, and I will definitely meet him.
This has become a vicious cycle, unless Lin Huaiye can take the initiative to let go."
After Ying Xixi finished speaking, she and the system fell silent.
Everyone knew that getting Lin Huaiye to let go was not an easy task.
Unless the day comes when both sides are destroyed, perhaps Lin Huaiye will let go because he loves her.
Thinking about this, Ying Xixi felt a little depressed.
Feeling so depressed, her due date soon arrived.
Because Ying Xixi had no experience and didn't know whether she would give birth to a baby today, she didn't take the painless fertility pills.
She planned to feel whether she had any contractions first. If she did, it would mean that she was not far from giving birth and she could take painless fertility pills.
But she waited for a whole day, and at the evening she didn't feel any pain or the feeling of giving birth.
Ying Xixi felt something was strange, and after swimming out of the big shell, she wanted to ask other mermaids.
As a result, she had just swam a little when she felt something coming out of her body.
【Wow! Little fish! 】
The system's surprised baby voice sounded in Ying Xixi's mind.
Ying Xixi looked down and found that there was indeed a small group of baby fish floating next to her fish tail!
Ying Xixi's eyelids were twitching and she was at a loss.
A small pile?!
Could there really be 108 of them?!
And what is she going to do now?!
Ying Xixi watched as a small group of baby fish gradually swam away in the water, and not far away, there were more small fish and shrimp swimming towards her...
