Chapter 245

Rong Heng stared at Xiao Lihua blankly.

In his eyes, his sister is his sister, even if she grows up, she is still his sister, why can't they live together? Moreover, Xiao Lihua is only five years old, not yet six years old, how can she grow up?

They grew up together, he took care of his sister from such a small baby to such an adult, and they have never been separated...

"Will you not live together in the future?" Rong Heng said cautiously.

Xiao Lihua was also reluctant to leave her brother, if she had to live alone, she would not be willing no matter what her mother said.

But now that she has sister Xuewei, her brother wants to live with Yika, isn't that perfect?

However, seeing her brother's expression of not being able to accept it, Xiao Lihua did not say it so absolutely, and said: "This is temporary... When Ika gets better, I, I will come back to live with my brother."

Rong Heng still looked depressed.

Although their room is indeed not big, Ika can sleep in his bed and he can sleep on the floor, which will not occupy his sister's space.

He still finds it hard to accept that his sister is leaving him suddenly.

The conversation between the siblings was heard by Wen Yan and Yan Ya who were watching them. The two looked at each other, and then Yan Ya stood up and walked towards her son and daughter.

She knew that separating the two children was a rather cruel thing for them who had always depended on each other, so she had been thinking about what method to use to make the two children accept it gently.

My daughter is still young and hasn't started to develop yet, but it will be a bit late by then. Of course, the sooner gender awareness is established

, the better. Rong Heng will be nine years old soon, and it is not a good thing that he still has such a vague understanding of gender.

Not only Rong Heng and Xiao Lihua, but also the physiological classes of other cubs in the brooding center must be gradually put on the schedule.

"Xiangyang, come with mom."

Hearing Yan Ya's words, Rong Heng came back to his senses from his isolation. He looked at his mother. Rong Heng also slowly developed feelings for Yan Ya, who had been taking care of them tenderly.

He nodded, stood up and followed Yan Ya out of the restaurant.

Rong Heng probably understood why Yan Ya asked him to come out, and he himself was also quite confused now.

"Mom..." He called Yan Ya in a low voice.

Yan Ya didn't rush to speak, but squatted down and gave Rong Heng a hug. He hugged his lost son and patted his back comfortingly.

Rong Heng didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little wronged.

He pursed his lips, but finally didn't reject Yan Ya's gesture that seemed too intimate.

"Xiangyang, thank you for your hard work these years. You really take good care of your sister."

Yan Ya said, her eyes were a little wet.

After becoming a keeper at the nursery, she also had the right to view past surveillance videos. She watched almost all the videos about Rong Heng and Xiao Lihua.

Especially when the brother and sister first arrived at the nursery, Yan Ya would burst into tears every time she saw her little son clumsily but diligently taking care of his infant sister.

Their friendship was so deep, and Rong Heng must be very sad to suddenly separate them, right? But...

Yan Ya let Rong Heng go, looked at him and said, "My sister is a girl, you know she is different from you, right?"

Rong Heng was puzzled, "Because they are different, she can't live with me? But you live with dad, and so do Wenwen and Uncle Laize."

"That's because we are husband and wife." Yan Ya said patiently, "We are married, and we are partners to spend our lives together, so we can live together."

Rong Heng was even more confused, "Then can't my sister be my partner?"

"Of course not." Yan Ya was helpless, "People who are related by blood can't be partners, because... well, partners are supposed to have children."

This was the only explanation she could give.

"Just like you and your sister are my children, you were both born under my care. When you grow up, you should each find your own partner, build a new family, and give birth to your own children."

Rong Heng's brows were tightly wrinkled. Yan Ya's words were really hard to understand for him who had never lived in a normal society and had never received relevant courses.

"Do you have to have children?" he asked.

Yan Ya looked at her son's confused eyes, hesitated for a while, and then said her true thoughts, "Giving birth to a child is a very painful thing, and it is accompanied by danger."

Ordinary people can give birth through artificial uteruses, but zorrocans can only use the most primitive method, through natural birth in the mother's body. At present, the scientific community has not yet overcome this problem.

Both of her children are zorrocans, and both have great strength. The stronger the strength, the more difficult and dangerous it is to give birth to offspring.

Yan Ya touched Rong Heng's face and said softly, "Whether to have children or not, wait until you grow up before making a decision, but no matter what choice you make, mom and dad will support you."

Rong Heng's tender face rarely showed such tangled emotions. He looked at Yan Ya, thought for a while and said, "Did you and dad also go through a lot of pain and danger to give birth to me and my sister?"

Yan Ya's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

She didn't expect that Rong Heng would think of this at the first time. How could this child be so sensible?

She felt sorry for Rong Heng. Rong Heng looked at her red eyes, but thought that she remembered the pain of giving birth to him and his sister, and couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

"I'm sorry, Mom..."

"You don't have to say sorry." Yan Ya shook her head. Her mood was much more stable than when she first came to the brooding house. She no longer lost control in front of her children.

She took a deep breath, slowed down, looked at Rong Heng with pity, and said softly: "Mom has never regretted choosing to give birth to you. I only blame myself for not protecting you and your sister, and letting you suffer so much."

"It's not your fault." Rong Heng said, "It's the fault of the bad guys."

Li Sinian had told him everything that happened at the time, including the fact that he and his sister were kidnapped by the bad guys and used as a cryogenic experiment.

Yan Ya nodded, "Mom is happy that you think this way."

At this time, she heard Rong Heng ask again: "So if people of different genders live together, they will have children?"

Looking at her son's innocent face, Yan Ya was silent for a moment, but she still said truthfully: "Not yet, you have to wait until you grow up a little bit..."

She was thinking about how to explain to Rong Heng that even if they don't have children, boys and girls can't live together, but Rong Heng spoke up.

"Okay, then I understand."

Rong Heng nodded and sighed, "Then let my sister live with Xuewei, they are both girls, they can live together."

Yan Ya felt relieved. Although she didn't know how Rong Heng suddenly figured it out, it was good that he could take this first step. The rest can wait and teach slowly later.

"Although you don't live in the same room, you are all in the brooding house and won't be separated." Yan Ya comforted, "You can play together again during the day."

"Yeah..." Rong Heng responded, but his mood was not very high.

"Then let's go back and have dinner." Yan Ya said, "We can move things after dinner."

"Okay."

After dinner, Rong Heng came to the pool with Ika's dinner to find him.

After Rong Heng left, the little mermaid did not stay idle, but swam in the pool, constantly diving into the water to hold his breath, and swam to the surface to breathe when he could not hold it anymore.

He found that although he could not breathe freely in the water, after practicing, the time he could hold his breath underwater would become longer and longer.

This discovery finally made him not so frustrated.

When he heard Rong Heng's footsteps, he stopped practicing, swam out from underwater, broke through the water with a wet body, and lay on the edge of the pool, looking at Rong Heng expectantly.

Rong Heng paused. He was originally depressed because Xiao Lihua was moving away, but when he faced Ika's blue eyes full of dependence and joy, he couldn't keep a cold face.

The reason why he agreed to let his sister move out was because of Ika.

When his mother explained to him, he thought of the inappropriateness. Although he cared about Ika, his childhood friend, he was not yet at the point where he could have a child with his precious sister.

Even if they didn't have children, only partners of the opposite sex could live together.

That was a lifetime thing, he couldn't let his sister make such a hasty decision!

Moreover, Ika was so beautiful, and Xiao Lihua had no resistance to beautiful things. If they lived together, she would fall in love with Ika so much, what if she wanted to have a child for him?

Mom said that giving birth is a very dangerous and painful thing!

He loves his most precious sister, so he can't bear to let her suffer even a little.

On the way to deliver food to Ika, he couldn't help but wonder if Ika insisted on living with him because of Xiao Lihua... But he quickly overturned this idea.

After all, Ika had just arrived at the nursery, how did he know that he lived with his sister?

However, this did not make him happy.

However, this depressed mood slowly dissipated after meeting Ika's eyes.

In fact, as long as he didn't agree to Ika and let him live in his own room, it would be fine, but... he couldn't bear to disappoint Ika, so the problem still lay with him.

"Xiao Lihua agreed, we can live together." Rong Heng said.

Ika immediately patted the fish's tail happily, and said in his clear and sweet boyish voice: "Sister is so nice."

Rong Heng looked at him warily, "She is my sister."

"Yeah!" The boy nodded his head and said enthusiastically, "Yangyang is the best!"

Rong Heng: "..."

This is not what he wanted to say.

Ignoring the slightly hot ears, he brought the dinner over and said, "Eat first, otherwise it will be cold."

Ika nodded, but looked at him with his hands on his cheeks.

Rong Heng tilted his head in confusion, why didn't he move?

"Aren't you going to feed me?" The little mermaid smiled sweetly at him.

Rong Heng wanted to refuse. He was fed during the day because he was not conscious. Now he is well and can communicate and talk normally, so he must be able to eat by himself, right?

However, in the eyes of the little mermaid who was gradually becoming pitiful, he still picked up the bowl helplessly and fed him again.

He looked at Ika's cheeks bulging with food, and couldn't help but feed him while saying: "My sister can eat by herself now."

"Oh, my sister is really amazing!"

The little mermaid said, and then he opened his mouth and took the spoon that Rong Heng fed to his mouth, eating with a satisfied look on his face.

Rong Heng: "..."
