Chapter 145: The Ending of a Not-So-Green

"Keke, I'm innocent!! I'm really straight! That child has nothing to do with me!" Zhang Bowen shouted.

Yan An and An Yuan: "..."

Wei Hongzhuo appeared behind Zhang Bowen. President Wei looked incredulous: "Bowen, what are you talking about? What child?"

Zhang Bowen glanced around the box and asked anxiously, "Where's Coco?"

An Yuan stood up and said, "Tell me clearly, what child?"

Zhang Bowen shouted, "No, where is Coco? I need to find her and explain everything to her!"

An Yuan slammed the table and said, "Tell me clearly first, what's going on with the child?"

Wei Hongzhuo also urged: "Yes, what's wrong with the child?"

Yan An said: "By the way, let me tell you what's going on with the chicken."

"This kid told you guys, but you still wouldn't understand." Zhang Bowen stamped his feet anxiously, "Is Keke still here?"

An Yuan said, "You just said you were innocent and a straight man. Could it be that..." Her face was very ugly. "You had a child outside?"

Wei Hongzhuo's face turned cold, "Bowen, tell me quickly, is this true?"

"That child has nothing to do with me!! I want to find Coco to explain!" Zhang Bowen shouted, and he pushed the door and prepared to leave.

"What on earth did you do outside..." Wei Hongzhuo wanted to hold him back.

"Sister Keke went to look for He Zhining." Xiaozhen suddenly said, "Do you know where He Zhining is?"

Zhang Bowen glanced at Xiaozhen, broke free from Wei Hongzhuo, and ran away.

An Yuan, Yan An, and Wei Hongzhuo looked at Xiao Zhen at the same time.

"Xiao Zhen, do you know what's going on?"

"What's going on with the child?"

"How did the chicken get involved?"

Xiao Zhen innocently gave them hints such as "What can a junior high school student know?", "You asked the wrong person?", "They are all adults, let them go?", "Why don't you sit down and eat?". With so many hints, the family sat back in their seats.

"What on earth is Zhang Bowen doing?" An Yuan muttered.

Wei Hongzhuo said, "I don't know. He seems to have lost his soul these past few days." He wanted to ask An Yuan and Yan An about the matter of the child, but when he saw Yan Zhu sitting next to An Yuan, he suddenly felt that he could not discuss this topic in front of elementary school students, so he said goodbye and left.

"What is going on?" An Yuan exclaimed.

"Sister Keke, go ahead! Brother Xiaohe, come on!" Yan Zhu suddenly shouted.

"Zhuzhu, please don't join in the fun."

Yan Zhu said seriously: "My intuition is that people who love each other will definitely be together!"

Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "Well said." He picked up the juice and clinked glasses with hers.

An Keke rushed to the Thousand Faces Cafe.

The door of the cafe was closed and empty. An Keke knocked on the door anxiously, "He Zhining!! He Zhining!! Are you there?"

She knocked for a while, and the window next to her opened from the inside. The clerk Xiao Sun poked his head out and said, "Hello, Miss An."

"Xiao Sun!! Is Xiao He here?"

Xiao Sun glanced at her and said, "Aren't you leaving?"

"I'm not leaving!! Is He Zhining here?"

"Mr. He just left. He went home to pack his things."

An Keke turned around and wanted to leave, but Xiao Sun grabbed her.

"Miss An, I have a question for you ."

"What?"

Xiao Sun stared at her and asked very seriously, "Are you going over there now to say goodbye to Mr. He?"

"I..." An Keke was confused for a moment. Goodbye? Did she leave her aunt's family and her flight in the afternoon just to come and say goodbye?

"No, I'm not saying goodbye!!" she said, "I'm here to see him."

"What are you going to say to him when you see him?"

"I..." What was she going to say when she saw him? Was she going to question why didn't tell him first, or why he kept the alien secret from her and dated her, or why he got pregnant with a ridiculous child? She didn't know. She couldn't think. She couldn't even understand her own behavior at the moment. "But I want to see him."

"Ms. An. I have a question." Xiao Sun opened the shop door and walked out.

"What?"

"If Mr. He's race is the same as mine, would you still want to meet him?"

“??? Same as you?” An Keke thought of the giant slug and her face turned pale.

"Yes, same as me. Do you still want to see him?" Xiao Sun nodded affirmatively.

What if He Zhining was really a giant slug? Would she still be so distraught as she is now? She felt her legs go weak and knelt on the ground.

She recalled the day in the cinema when his crystal tears flowed from his eyes and fell like drizzling rain. "Why are you crying?" She stared at him intently and asked blankly.

Because it's really touching. He said seriously. She thought that although this man looked good, he must be a little silly. In An Keke's eyes , this was a silly family love movie, Beauty and the Beast, and she didn't understand why it was so sad. Later, when they were dating, he said that because creatures like Homo sapiens mostly determine their preferences based on vision, the beast is ugly, but the beauty fell in love with the real him through his ugly and weird appearance. Isn't this touching?

Who could find such a clichéd story touching, An Keke thought to herself. In the end, the story still gave the beast a handsome appearance.

Of course, the reason why she fell in love with He Zhining was because he was so handsome.

Now, Xiao Sun told her that her He Zhining might be a large, slimy slug. Would she still love him?

She didn't know, she thought, but she remembered every time they dated, every word He Zhining said to her, and that day - he held her hand, his hand was very large and cold, there were fallen leaves on the ground, her heart was beating so fast that it almost exploded, they watched the fireworks rise by the river, and he lowered his head and touched his lips to hers.

"I don't know! I don't know if I would still like He Zhining if he didn't have a human form!" An Keke said, "But he has been real to me in the past two months. I just want to see him now. I must see him. This is the only answer I can give you now."

"Okay." Xiao Sun smiled, "Go ahead."

A male voice suddenly sounded from behind An Keke, "Keke!! Keke! Listen to my explanation!"

Zhang Bowen ran over, sweating profusely.

An Keke couldn't help but get furious when she saw him, "How dare you come to see me?"

"Coco, I'm innocent!"

"Bullshit about innocence!" An Keke threw the bag at Zhang Bowen's face. "People saved you with good intentions! And you just think about your innocence! Innocence! Innocence!! Innocence!! Today I will let you understand what innocence means!!"

Zhang Bowen held his head and cried out in pain.

"Ms. An, please go find Mr. He." Xiao Sun said, and she nodded to An Keke with an expression that said, "Don't worry, I'll stop this guy."

"good!!"

An Keke left Zhang Bowen behind and rushed to the street to wave to stop a bus. She heard Zhang Bowen calling her from behind, so she asked the big slug clerk to temporarily stop this guy who didn't understand the situation.

After getting off the bus, she rushed into the apartment as if she was familiar with the place. She took out the key that He Zhining gave her and opened the door.

The apartment was clean and tidy, just like the last time she visited. The home was decorated in light wood and the white walls were covered with movie posters. He Zhining loved those old movies. They often spent an afternoon sitting on the gray sofa, eating snacks and watching movies. Now, all the furnishings were exactly the same as last time. Her favorite snacks were also neatly divided and placed in boxes.

But He Zhining is not here.

"He Zhining?? He Zhining???" she shouted in panic.

No one answered her.

"He Zhining??? He Zhining!!!"

The midday sunlight shone through the window and gathered into a square bright spot on the floor.

That person is not here.

"He Zhining!! You bastard!!!" She sat on the ground and cried.

He still left.

She left in a carefree manner, taking her child with her, without even giving her a chance to say goodbye.

"He Zhining!! You are a bastard!!"

The door behind her creaked open.

"Sister Keke, Brother Xiaohe left in such a hurry only because the situation on his home planet was too urgent." Xiaozhen said behind her.

An Keke asked: "Why? Did he tell you first?"

"Well, Sister Keke, just because I gave you the communicator, don't worry about it." Xiaozhen turned on the communicator, and a holographic screen popped up, with He Zhining appearing on the screen. Behind him, it showed that he was in the cabin.

"Coco..." He Zhining looked a little guilty.

“You bastard!!!”

"Keke, I really didn't mean to run away. The matter on my home planet is too urgent. If I delay, I will miss this flight, which will have serious consequences." He Zhining said sadly, "Keke, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"You told Xiaozhen that you were leaving without telling me!"

"Because you blocked me."

"Eh? Is that so???"

"Coco, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to leave."

"…You really didn't mean to run away? You really didn't mean to hide from me?"

"No." He Zhining nodded.

"How long will you be gone then?"

"About one year on our local planet."

"Doesn't that mean the baby is about to be born?"

"Almost." He Zhining looked at An Keke's expression cautiously, "This child..."

"It's mine!" An Keke thought for a moment and then changed her words: "It's ours. It's mine and yours."

He Zhining widened his eyes and stared at her blankly: "What do you mean..."

"That's our child. He Zhining, you're really going too far. You didn't take good care of the pregnancy and you ran around everywhere!"

The handsome man on the screen smiled, his smile was as bright as the sun, "You are right, don't worry, I will take good care of myself and the child."

"I'll wait for you, wait for you to come back. You owe me a debt, and you owe our child. I'll wait for you to come back and settle it together!"

"good."

Bang! The door was pushed open and Zhang Bowen strode in.

Xiaozhen and An Keke turned around and looked at him together.

Zhang Bowen said: "After talking with Xiao Sun just now, I have completely understood everything."

"What?"

"I am just an organ donor. This child has received a part of my genes and has become healthier, that's all." Zhang Bowen clapped his hands and said, "So I am innocent..." He saw An Keke clenched her fists and immediately changed the topic, "Also, I heard your conversation outside the door. I have something to announce now."

"What?"

"He Zhining! If you don't come back in a year, Coco will be mine!" Zhang Bowen declared to He Zhining on the screen.

"It's yours!" An Keke smashed the bag on Zhang Bowen's head again, "How dare you say that!"

"Let me change it, He Zhining! If you don't come back in a year, I will continue to pursue Coco. Oh no, I will pursue Coco even when you are not around." Zhang Bowen pointed at the screen and said, "Did you hear me? Don't think that everything will be fine if you just run away. I am a typical straight man, and Coco is mine... Ouch!!"

He Zhining on the screen smiled and said, "Then I will definitely come back early."

"That's what you said!" Coco stared at the screen and said loudly, "I'll wait for you!"

The screen turned into snow.

He Zhining's ship has entered the jump orbit, and his signal cannot be sent to Xiaozhen for the time being.

The incident finally came to an end.

The child issue that An Yuan and Wei Hongzhuo were worried about was successfully dealt with by Zhang Bowen's nonsense. After packing up some of He Zhining's things, An Keke was about to return to Beijing.

The Yan family saw An Keke off at the airport.

"Aunt, I am sure of one thing now."

"What?"

"I completely understand how you felt when you chose your uncle," An Keke said softly.

An Yuan reached out and straightened An Keke's scarf. "If you are sure, then auntie wishes you and him happiness."

"Um!"

An Keke bent down and whispered to Xiaozhen: "Zhenzhen, sister asks you a question, you must answer truthfully."

"What?"

"He Zhining is not a big slug, right?"

"..." Xiao Zhen said, "Absolutely not."

"Very good!!!" An Keke smiled like a flower and turned away.

It turns out that human nature is still obsessed with looks.
