Chapter 142 Anyway, it’s just dribbling
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
An Yuan pushed open the door and said, "Xiao Zhen, why are you screaming in the middle of the night? Are you having a nightmare?"
Well, although I didn’t have a nightmare, reality is more terrifying than a nightmare.
For example, you have no way to explain to your parents that your cousin's boyfriend is pregnant with both her and her fiancé's children, a ridiculous story that even third-rate novels wouldn't write.
So Xiao Zhen made up a bunch of nonsense and successfully fooled An Yuan into thinking that he was just watching the game secretly and couldn't help himself.
"It's so late, go to bed early!"
After An Yuan left, Xiao Zhen picked up the phone and continued talking to He Zhining in a low voice.
"You are pregnant with Zhang Bowen's child."
"Yes."
"You guys get pregnant so easily! Aren't you an endangered species?"
"Once we fall in love, our constitution becomes fertile."
“But this is too easy!”
"Because the genes of only one individual are very dangerous to a Leopard fetus. My body instinctively believes that taking in the genes of multiple individuals of other races can ensure the stability of the fetus. In addition, the condition of telepathy was indeed achieved at that time, so..."
"So? You have two babies in your belly now?"
"No, there is only one. Before the fetus is formally formed, it can continue to absorb new individual genes for its own health."
"That means the baby in your belly now has the genes of both An Keke and Zhang Bowen?"
"Yes. If I don't take in any more genes from other individuals."
"What? Who else do you want to ingest?"
"I am just describing my current situation."
Xiao Zhen fell silent. He Zhining's narration was simply terrible from the perspective of human ethics, and it was terrible in every sense. He finally said, "I don't think An Ke can accept this news calmly."
"I thought so too, that's why I called you."
"Let's not talk about your alien identity for now. For modern humans, they often require love to be exclusive in two aspects, one is spiritual, and the other is physical. From a biological point of view, this is the only way to pass on their genes to the greatest extent."
"But the fetus in my belly is a Leopard. The genes of a different race only determine the appearance and cannot be passed down to other generations."
"But for humans, the fetus in the abdomen contains the genes of a third party, which they see as unclean infidelity, or betrayal of love. Not to mention that the target is Zhang Bowen. This is not only true for humans, but also for animals. After the lion king gains the right to rule the lion group, he will kill the children of other male lions."
"I know that this kind of biological behavior is also very common in the interstellar space, and it is for the inheritance of one's own genes. But I am a Lepasian, and so is this child."
"But the person you want to be with is an ordinary Homo sapiens. You have to consider her feelings."
"..." On the other end of the phone, He Zhining remained silent.
"Let's continue discussing this topic tomorrow." Xiao Zhen said to He Zhining.
He hung up the phone.
"Well, this is really a bizarre human ethical drama." Mr. Cat said while licking his paw.
Captain Ban said: "It's not He Zhining's fault."
"I know it's certainly not He Zhining's fault. But as for this matter, I really can't imagine what An Keke's expression will be when she finds out about it." Xiao Zhen touched her chin, "Hey, Sister Keke, congratulations, your beloved boyfriend is pregnant with your child, and by the way, this child is also your fiancé Zhang Bowen's. Do you think she can accept it calmly?"
Mr. Cat and Captain Ban looked at each other and said in unison, "Please let us be there when you tell An Keke!"
“You guys are really…”
the next day.
Inside the Thousand Faces Cafe.
Today, He Zhining finally did not have a smiling face like he did in the past. He looked gloomy, his complexion was pale, his face was tired, and even his eyes had dark circles.
The first thing he said when he sat down was, "Xiao Zhen, were you hinting yesterday that I should abort the baby?"
A female guest at the next table heard a sharp noise from her cups and plates, and she glanced at He Zhining in horror.
Xiao Zhen replied: "I want to know if you have this alternative plan in mind."
Another female guest at the next table spit out her coffee. Xiao Zhen heard their whispers, "Did you hear that? Xiao He actually discussed abortion with an underage brother."
"Oh my God! This is horrible!"
Xiao Zhen quickly threw the message "I heard it wrong" and "You heard it completely wrong" to the female guests next to her, and then blocked out their conversation. Even if they were closer, the ears of the surrounding guests could only hear a series of unclear bass sounds.
"This child also contains her genes and is the fruit of my love for her."
"But in human eyes, it's impure."
He Zhining sighed and said, "If I want to abort this child, then I won't be able to have a new child for at least ten years on this planet."
"Is your cycle so long?"
"This is determined by our biological characteristics, which is also one of the reasons why our numbers are so small. Therefore, our tribe will choose a partner very carefully and seriously."
"oh."
"This unborn child was born after An Keke and I confirmed our feelings for each other. I still remember every detail of that moment. It is the product of love, just like my mother gave birth to me. I am very afraid that after this child is gone, Keke and I may never have the chance to have children again. Do you understand what this child means to me?"
"I think I understand."
“There is only one solution now.”
"What?"
"I will be honest with Coco. Coco is the child's mother and she has the right to know."
It seems that this is the only way.
Speak of the devil, and soon An Keke came to the Qianmian Coffee Shop.
"Xiao He!!" The door was only half open when An Keke's cheerful and clear voice came in. It is said that a girl in love will be more beautiful than usual. At this moment, her face is as bright as a peach blossom, and her eyebrows are full of joy. After discovering Xiao Zhen, the girl widened her eyes in surprise.
"Zhenzhen, you're here too. Well, you're really well-informed." An Keke nodded, and then she smiled happily, "Are you here to see Brother Xiao He secretly? What do you think? Your sister has good taste, right?"
"Sister Keke, you definitely have good taste." Xiaozhen moved a little and gave up her seat to An Keke.
An Keke sat down, bringing with her a breeze of sweet candy. "I just went shopping at the mall and bought some candy. Perfect, here you go." She grabbed a few bags of candy and handed them to Xiaozhen. "You have to help me say good things in front of my aunt and uncle."
"This bribe is too little."
"Tsk tsk, wait till sister takes you to have some fun later."
Only then did she see Mr. Cat and Captain Madara next to Xiaozhen. "Wow, there's a cat! Cats are cute! Wait, why is there a cat here..."
He Zhining said: "The chicken was brought by Xiaozhen."
"Why did you bring a chicken?" An Keke asked with a smile, "Is this a meeting gift for your brother Xiao He?"
"Cousin, He Zhining has something to tell you."
"Zhenzhen, what is He Zhining? You should call him Brother Xiao He." An Keke looked at He Zhining, "Hmm? Do you have something to tell me?"
"Yes."
"What's the important thing?" An Keke said, "Is it about Zhang Bowen? He's fine now. Zhang Bowen contacted me and he's fine now. He said you're fine. He said a lot of good things about you. I can't believe it. Xiao He, you're so strong! Well, Bowen said he drank too much and got confused for a while, he's fine now."
"But I have something else important to tell you."
"You say." An Keke straightened up, looking at He Zhining in front of him with big eyes flickering. Xiao Zhen had seen her eyes before. His host's mother An Yuan looked at Yan An with the same eyes, and Teacher Xiao Yuan also looked at Teacher Feng with the same eyes. It was the love from the bottom of her heart and the wholehearted trust.
"I……"
"Wait a minute." Xiao Zhen interrupted He Zhining and turned to ask An Keke, "Sister Keke, do you have a heart disease?"
"Ah? No."
"Epilepsy?"
"?No."
"Okay, keep chatting."
An Keke looked at Xiao Zhen strangely, then turned to look at He Zhining. Realizing that He Zhining was about to say something important, the girl blushed to her ears, and she said shyly, "Xiao He, are you really going to say that in front of my cousin?"
"Yes."
"Are you really going to tell me?" She glanced at He Zhining's pocket.
"It's a very important matter."
"Yeah, go ahead." She lowered her head and eyes, her ears turned red as if they were burning.
“I’m an alien.”
"I promise you! I promise!" An Keke shouted, covering her face.
“…”
"Why?"
Xiao Zhen picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip of water with an expressionless face.
