After Du Jia and Li Kongyuan left, Cai Yuan looked at Banxia with concern: "Banxia, why are you always so sleepy lately?"
He glanced at his watch; it was already four in the afternoon. Sleeping for such a long time during a nap was highly unusual. Moreover, as far as he knew, Banxia had been sleeping this long every day since the rainy season began. Could she be sick?
Su Yao was also a little anxious when he heard this: "I heard that there are doctors and examination equipment at the base. I should have been a little more polite to Li Kongyuan earlier. Now it's not easy to handle."
A warm feeling washed over Banxia, but she still chose to hide the truth, otherwise she couldn't explain her relationship with Tiantian: "I've been like this since I was little. I get sleepy on rainy days, and I'm fine once the rain stops."
Su Yao and Cai Yuan nodded casually: "I see. Then you should go back and catch up on your sleep."
But she secretly planned to find some time to talk to Nanxing alone.
“Wife,” Nanxing pulled Banxia back into the house, “I’m going out to fight zombies tomorrow.”
If you keep sleeping like this, even a perfectly healthy person will develop problems.
“It’s too slow to fight by ourselves,” Banxia yawned again. “Let’s trade supplies with others instead.”
Even if they are very skilled, they can only kill a few hundred or a few thousand zombies a day, while she needs at least hundreds of thousands of crystal cores to level up. Wouldn't that take forever to accumulate them?
A wave of regret washed over Nanxing. If they hadn't offended Li Kongyuan, they could have made a deal with the base, but now…
Banxia hugged him and gave him a comforting kiss: "Li Kongyuan has been in a high position for too long and has lost his original intention as a human being. Unless we agree to his recruitment, he will not agree to trade crystal cores no matter how many supplies we offer."
Those in positions of power are most averse to powerful people not serving them. Although Li Kongyuan is currently powerless against them, he will absolutely not stand idly by and watch them become even stronger.
Banxia smiled slyly: "If the same crystal cores can be exchanged for more supplies here than at the base, the survivors would probably be more willing to trade with us."
She was already worried about what to do with the things she had collected in the city, and this was such a coincidence.
"My wife is so smart!"
After careful discussion, the two decided to advertise around the city the next day. Once the news spread, people lacking supplies would come to trade. If even one person succeeded, others who were still observing would be encouraged to come as well.
The survivors will receive more supplies to survive, and Banxia will receive storage fee crystal cores. It seems like a win-win situation.
Du Jia and the survivors had left before dark, so the three families got together for a big meal that night.
After dinner, Banxia used the room as cover to go for a stroll in the space to digest her food, while Nanxing was pulled away by Su Yao and Cai Yuan under some pretext.
Nanxing looked at the two of them, puzzled: "Why are you two staring at me like that?"
Su Yao gripped Nanxing's hand tightly: "Tell me honestly, what's wrong with Banxia? It's not... she's pregnant, is it?"
He and Cai Yuan secretly discussed it. Nan Xing seemed to know why Banxia was so sleepy and didn't seem to have any strong anxiety, which meant that Banxia wasn't sick. The only explanation was that she was pregnant.
Nanxing couldn't help but pinch his temples. If he had known this was the problem, he wouldn't have wasted his time: "...Didn't I already explain before that I wasn't pregnant?"
Cai Yuan rolled his eyes at Nan Xing: "Then tell me, which healthy person sleeps for this long every day?"
Sleeping for too long slows down the heart rate, reducing the amount of blood pumped by the heart and causing insufficient blood supply to organs. It also causes muscle tissue to relax. Over time, this can lead to sluggish thinking, laziness, and fatigue.
Nanxing opened his mouth, but explained weakly, "...I can't tell you the reason. Anyway, my wife is not sick, nor is she pregnant!"
He said through gritted teeth, "Am I really that unreliable in your eyes?"
He's not crazy, why would he have a child at this time!
No, he's so angry he's fainted. Even if he wanted to have a child, he couldn't!
Su Yao felt guilty and didn't dare to look at him. He looked up at the ceiling and explained in a low voice, "Well, I recently read a book that said some women tend to become sleepy once they get pregnant... Isn't that exactly the same as Banxia's situation?"
Nanxing glared at him resentfully: "You're reading books about pregnancy now, are you planning to have a baby at this time?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Su Yao jumped up and down in anger. "While I may be unreliable in small matters, I'm reliable in big ones..."
His voice gradually faded until it fell silent. There was no other way; if he continued, his brother wouldn't just give him a glare, he'd give him a real knife.
Nanxing snorted at Su Yao unhappily and headed back home.
He walked a few steps away, then suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to look at Cai Yuan, who had perfectly disappeared during the argument: "Brother Yuan, I've thought about it, and I've decided not to have my baby find a godfather..."
After saying that, he dashed into the house.
Su Yao followed suit: "My baby is the same..."
"Hey!" Cai Yuan was so angry he almost laughed. This was clearly Su Yao's idea, what did it have to do with him? "I don't care, I want to be the godfather. If you don't agree, I'll go to your house and steal your child!"
“I’m scared of you,” Nanxing suddenly opened the door. “If you want to be my godfather, then be one.”
Su Yao also quietly opened the door a crack: "I'm scared of you too!"
Cai Yuan shook his head helplessly: "Nanxing, why don't you learn anything good from Su Yao, instead you're just copying his antics..."
He said that, but he was very proud of himself. He had made friends with his brothers for nothing. He got two good babies for free without having to do anything. People would be so envious if they heard about it!
At Jinzi and Yinzi's insistence, they will still be on night duty tonight.
"Splash—"
