Empire, capital star.
The film crew had a few days off, and Su Xia stayed at the Yushuiwan Villa with Qiao You.
In the afternoon, Qiao You and Su Xia sunbathed in the back garden, drinking watermelon juice and eating fried small fish, enjoying themselves immensely.
In just ten minutes, Su Xia's personal computer beeped five or six times, and each time it rang and then hung up.
"Who is it?" Qiao You asked curiously, guessing that it was most likely Su Yinchen.
Su Xia didn't say anything and immediately turned her personal computer to silent mode, eliminating all notification sounds.
Qiao You leaned closer to Qiao You, "Why don't we answer it? Let's see what's going on?"
"What if something really serious happens?"
Su Xia hesitated, no longer as resolute as before.
"Xiaxia, you should give him a chance to argue. You two can sit down and have a serious talk," Qiao You said earnestly. "I know you really like Su Yinchen."
"So, don't leave any regrets." Qiao You heard something from Helian Jue; perhaps Su Yinchen had her own difficulties?
Qiao You silently told himself that he wasn't speaking up for Su Yinchen; he just couldn't bear to see Xia Xia sad and upset.
Even the Empire, when dealing with the most heinous space pirates, must give them a chance to explain themselves.
Su Xia hesitated slightly; he did like Su Yinchen.
He wanted to become a household name in the empire and wanted to prove himself; he was no less capable!
"Then... I'll meet him tomorrow?" Su Xia stammered. Su Yinchen had been trying to contact him since yesterday afternoon.
As Youyou said, perhaps they should sit down and have a proper talk?
The current Su Xia is no longer the naive little mermaid she once was.
In the human world, is this called growth?
After settling things off with Su Yinchen, Qiao You and Su Xia completely relaxed. They reclined on the sofa, eating fruit and watching TV.
The next day, Su Xia left early.
Before leaving, Qiao You gave Su Xia a big hug, saying, "Xia Xia, keep going! Whatever decision you make, I'll support you."
Su Xia was deeply moved and hugged Qiao You back, saying, "Thank you."
Qiao You watched Su Xia board the hovercar, hoping that things would turn out well for them.
"Brother, aren't you going out today?" Qiao You turned around and saw Helian Jue busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. He walked over with small steps.
Helian Jue replied gently, "I'm not busy, I'm at home with the baby."
Yesterday, Helian Jue had already finished handling most of his official duties.
As instructed by Madam Qiao, it was almost time for Xiaoyu to give birth.
For safety reasons, Helian Jue decided to stay home with them for the next few days.
"Really?" Qiao You jumped onto Helian Jue's back. "Brother!"
"elder brother!"
...
"I like you so much."
The repeated calls of "brother" and the direct confession warmed Helian Jue's heart.
"Be careful." Helian Jue hugged Qiao You, held Xiaoyu in his arms, and pressed his forehead against hers. "Brother loves Xiaoyu the most."
"I only like it."
Qiao You was beaming with delight, her little expression smug.
With Helian Jue by his side, Qiao You felt much more relaxed.
After lunch, Helian Jue took Qiao You to the villa's swimming pool.
"Let's go for a swim," Helian Jue suggested.
The swimming pool here has been renovated.
Madam Yu said that mermaids are best off giving birth in water, as this can reduce some of their suffering.
As a result, the entire swimming pool underwent a complete transformation.
The water in the pool was transported from Yunlai Star and Blue Water Star. The starfish, corals, seaweed, shrimp and other creatures in it were all found by searching the entire interstellar space to find creatures that most resembled the ancient oceans of Earth.
At the left corner of the pool, Helian Jue had specially set up a bed, which was immersed in the pool and still had the familiar seashell shape that Qiao You knew.
Thinking about the nest-building behavior that the little fish had shown before, Helian Jue changed his clothes at least twice a day for the past few days, letting the clothes absorb his scent, and then hid them in the seashell bed in the pool.
Mermaids are very sensitive to water quality. As soon as he went down into the pool, Qiao You noticed that the water was completely different from the previous water. He knew that his brother had specially prepared it for him and was very excited.
"Thank you, brother, I like it very much." Qiao You emerged from the water with a bright smile. After expressing her gratitude to Helian Jue, she flicked her tail and swam away.
Helian Jue sat on the shore the whole time, watching over Qiao You, and would occasionally remind him, "Be careful, don't make any big movements!"
"be safe."
"Get up if you feel unwell."
...
Qiao You didn't take it seriously. Although he agreed quickly, his actions were the same as usual.
Swimming back to the opposite bank, Qiao swam around the bend and suddenly felt a pain in his stomach. The usually dazed little fish was now alert for a moment.
It looks like the baby is about to be born!
"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine." Qiao You quickly popped his head out and told Helian Jue, then crawled into the seashell bed.
In fact, Qiao You didn't know what he should do. The main problem was that he had never experienced or even seen anything like it before, but he had a vague premonition that he was going to crawl into the seashell bed.
"Baby!
"Baby?"
Helian Jue panicked. Was Xiaoyu about to give birth? What could he do?
I know absolutely nothing!
I asked Madam Yu before, but she didn't know much either. Moreover, over the years, it has all been passed down orally, and many things have become blurred after thousands of years.
But at this moment, besides looking for Old Madam Yu, Helian Jue didn't know who else to turn to. His hand, which was holding up his personal terminal, was trembling slightly. He was really worried about Xiaoyu...
"Madam Yu, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu is...giving birth." Helian Jue's voice trembled as the personal terminal connected, he had never been so flustered before.
