Chapter 375 Joining the Resistance (6) - Painless Motherhood?
There was no lingering reluctance between Ning Shu and An Ran.
She had a heart full of sincerity, but unfortunately, no one treated her like one of their own.
She could understand their feelings and also experienced the disappointment those players felt.
The only consolation is that she was still somewhat useful; trading her life for the lives of so many others like Anran was a worthwhile deal.
Si Zhong probably won't do anything to her. The only variable is Si Chen, who probably doesn't want to see her by Si Zhong's side again.
After Ning Shu sat down, someone handed her a first-aid kit. Ning Shu looked at the person with some confusion, and the person gestured for her to apply medicine to Si Zhong.
Besides the arm she had cut, Si Zhong's hand, which was gripping the blade, was also bleeding.
Ning Shu suddenly felt a pang of guilt; she hadn't hurt him on purpose.
Silently, she took the medical kit, opened it, and then reached out to roll up Si Zhong's sleeve. Si Zhong stared at her without saying a word, letting her do as she pleased.
Ning Shucai realized that he had been too rough with the knife, making long cuts, and Si Zhong hadn't even flinched.
She felt that he was either pretending to be aloof or that his pain level was not obvious.
She had also torn his sleeve. After rolling it up, she exposed his injured palm as well, took out a cotton swab, poured out iodine solution, and applied it to the wound.
Si Zhong was probably in pain, because his arm twitched involuntarily. Ning Shu looked up at Si Zhong's expression and found that he was clearly in pain, but he pretended to be nonchalant.
I chuckled to myself, thinking how pretentious this man was!
After disinfecting the wound, Ning Shu used a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to wipe away the bloodstains around the wound.
Take out another spray and spray it directly onto the wound. The wound gradually begins to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This era is so divisive; we can still use iodine to disinfect wounds, and after disinfection, we can even use a special spray to make the wounds heal quickly.
During this time, Ning Shu remembered something: "How did you find out I left the game?"
Si Zhong's heart skipped a beat. He knew he had to face this issue eventually. It was true that one shouldn't lie.
“When I realized you were missing, I asked the people outside where you were, and they said… you were awake.” He paused for a moment, “So I just came out.”
Ning Shu sneered: "And then you'll fabricate evidence for me, huh?"
Si Zhong dared not say anything and pretended to be dead with his head down.
Ning Shu thought this was not the time to argue with him. After treating the wound, she wiped the blood off his arm.
After cleaning herself up, she looked up and found that Si Zhong was actually staring at her. He wasn't pretending to be dead anymore.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the others around her were both curious and pretending to be "very busy," and she glared at Si Zhong with some annoyance.
Si Zhong quickly looked away, afraid that she would bring up what had just happened again.
Back in Youcheng, Si Zhong ordered the other aircraft to leave, while his continued on its way.
He didn't take her back to the manor, nor did he take her back to Chongzheng Building. Instead, he took her to a spaceship that was hovering above Youcheng.
The spaceship should be able to hide; she didn't see anything in front of her before the spacecraft and the spaceship docked.
At the moment of successful docking, Ning Shu saw the spaceship appear for a moment like a ripple spreading out from the docking point, before returning to its stealth state.
After parking, Si Zhong stood up and took Ning Shu's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to see something."
Ning Shu silently followed Si Zhong into the spaceship. After Si Zhong's verification, the spaceship switched from hibernation to operational status.
Where there was only a dim light before, now all the lights are on.
Ning Shu had to admit that the technology of Soya Star was indeed very advanced, something that humans could not currently match.
Si Zhong didn't bother to explain the spaceship's internal structure to her. He led her straight to their destination, to a glass door. After Si Zhong authorized the door to be opened, Ning Shu followed him inside.
When they arrived at a special device, Si Zhong finally stopped. Ning Shu stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, somewhat incredulous.
She pointed ahead, her voice trembling: "Is this a specimen? Are you conducting human experiments?"
Using such young children? That's absolutely outrageous!
Before her eyes, a ball of blue liquid floated in mid-air, containing a baby with several tubes attached to its body.
The baby was curled up and motionless, it was unclear whether it was asleep or dead.
Below the liquid is a central platform, which is separated from the liquid by a gap. The tubes hanging on the baby extend from the platform.
Si Zhong was taken aback, then suddenly laughed out loud, raising his hand to tap Ning Shu on the head: "What nonsense are you thinking? This isn't a specimen... it's our child."
Ning Shu: ?!
She looked at Si Zhong in disbelief. He had just said that this was his child with someone else.
That's not what she meant, is it?
She's pregnant, how come she didn't know?!
"What nonsense are you spouting? Whose child is this?"
“This is our child, the child you gave birth to,” Si Zhong repeated firmly.
"..."
Ning Shu isn't against painless motherhood, but not in such an outrageous way.
Even saying you want to adopt one is much better than pointing to something that looks like an experimental specimen and saying it's her child.
Couldn't you have considered her level of understanding before making up the story?
Besides, what decent family would put their child in a place like this? It's like they're going to mutate.
Si Zhong seemed to hear Ning Shu's deafening silence. He thought for a moment and explained in the simplest and most understandable language possible:
"You had some health issues before, so I had someone move you from the game pod to a hospital room for treatment."
One day you suddenly woke up and had sex with me. Unexpectedly, you got pregnant on the first try and gave birth to it.
It's a girl, isn't she beautiful? I named her…
"stop!"
Ning Shu felt that Si Zhong's words were becoming more and more outrageous. She knew her own body very well. If she had really given birth, it was impossible for her body to be completely without any traces.
"I think you might have made a mistake? I..." Ning Shu didn't know how to express herself.
Si Zhong actually understood and said directly, "I understand what you mean, please wait a moment."
He used his personal terminal to summon someone, and it turned out to be Xiao Guo.
They haven't seen her since she stopped doing rehabilitation training.
Seeing the other person again now, I felt a mix of emotions.
Xiao Guo walked over: "Mr. Si, you were looking for me?"
Si Zhong: "A Ning needs to have a DNA test done with the child. You need to draw blood from them and then give her the blood sample."
Ning Shu stared blankly at Si Zhong, then realized that Si Zhong seemed serious, so she silently sat down. This was indeed a good idea.
While waiting for Xiao Guo to get the things, she couldn't help but ask, "When did I meet you... I don't remember?"
Most of their sexual encounters occurred within the game. Although they did happen outside the game, her memory of those encounters remained intact, and the encounters were relatively short. She still knew whether or not she had given birth to a child.
Si Zhong knew she would be curious about this: "After the Magic Academy instance, I left the game for a while, which happened to coincide with your health problems at that time."
Ning Shu thought for a moment, and then she remembered.
After Si Zhong inexplicably died in the dungeon, one night she had a erotic dream.
