Chapter 148 Cai'er wants a home, especially a child
It was a pity that the words had already come out of her mouth, and the crowd, who had nothing else to say to change the subject, had no way of pretending that they had not heard what she had said.
Chen Ying'er even received a message from Yue Mingnan.
"Chen Ying'er, do you really want to climb into Xingyuan's bed? The team competition is about to start, and we can't let the team leader and the deputy leader start a quarrel."
Chen Ying'er shook her head repeatedly. She wanted to explain to Yue Mingnan that she didn't have such thoughts.
It was Cai'er who had remained silent just now who spoke up, "Yes, Xingyuan, how come you still remember them?"
Cai'er's voice was calm when she spoke, but Xingyuan felt a little guilty for some reason. "I said it's just that I have a good memory. Do you believe me?"
"I believe."
Cai'er nodded, then leaned back in her seat as if nothing had happened.
Is this the end?
Given Cai'er's personality, this should be the end.
While Xingyuan was thinking this in his heart, he reached out his hand. Seeing that Cai'er did not show any strange emotions, he felt relieved.
"I believe in you, too, Captain."
Wang Yuanyuan also leaned out of the window, looked back at the 'woman' who had just passed by the carriage, and sat back in her seat. "They all have children already. I'm sure the captain won't get involved with those married women."
That’s right, in the era of the Temple Alliance, ordinary people, unless they become professionals of the six major temples, usually get married and start a career at this age.
Therefore, it is quite normal to meet former classmates who have not continued to pursue a professional career but have become fathers or wives.
Noticing that Yue Mingnan was looking at him with an unhealthy gaze, Xingyuan quickly interrupted the other party's subsequent casting, "Nannan, you can't have a head full of dirty trash as a girl. I am just like what Yuanyuan said just now. No matter what, I will never seduce a married woman."
Although he didn't know what the yellow waste that Xingyuan mentioned was, Yue Mingnan's attention was obviously not on it.
What did Xingyuan call me just now?
It's not that I call you "Yuemingnan" with my given name, nor that I call you "Mingnan" just for the sake of convenience. It's that... what am I thinking? It must be that I spoke too quickly, or maybe it's because other people call me that, so they have subtly changed their way of addressing me...
After finally convincing everyone that he had no intention of bringing the Wei Wu legacy of his previous life to the Holy Demon Continent to inherit and carry forward it, Xingyuan discovered that Cai'er, who was originally sitting next to him, had leaned out of the window at some point.
What was even more unexpected was that Cai'er also pulled off the scarf and veil covering her eyes and head, and just stared at the scene behind the carriage.
Xingyuan probably guessed what Cai'er was looking at, and he saw obvious envy in her eyes.
Fortunately, Cai'er didn't stick her head out of the car window for too long. She quickly sat back in her seat and covered her eyes with the scarf again.
"Cai, Cai'er, we were just joking just now."
Yue Mingnan mistakenly thought that Cai'er had taken his failed joke seriously, and was worried that this incident would affect the relationship between Xingyuan and Cai'er, so he was the first to come forward to explain.
It’s not because of this…
Xingyuan thought silently in his heart, and sure enough, Caier answered like this.
"Then what were you looking at just now?"
Yue Mingnan scratched her head. She couldn't understand what could make her, who never took off her veil in front of outsiders and whose beautiful face she rarely saw, do something like that?
"Xingyuan..." "I'm here."
"...I want, uh..."
"Just tell me what you want."
Xingyuan stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead twice, "As long as I can do it now, I will satisfy you."
This was the first time that Cai'er took the initiative to ask Xingyuan for something, so Xingyuan naturally had to satisfy her.
"I want a child."
"puff--"
This time, only Xingyuan's voice was heard in the carriage, because Yue Mingnan and others, who were just bystanders, had their brains crashed because of the huge amount of information they suddenly received and the speed at which things turned around.
"You, you mean, you want to adopt a child, right? Is that right?"
Xingyuan almost couldn't breathe, but in order to prevent Yue Mingnan and others from having wild thoughts and the possible commotion that might follow, he hurriedly set up a soundproof barrier in the car.
However, in response to Xingyuan's question, Cai'er shook her head, tilted her head towards him in confusion and asked, "Why do you want to adopt someone else's child? I want to have our own child."
Xingyuan didn't say anything, but reached out to lift the veil that Cai'er had just covered her face with, and then pulled down the silk scarf covering her eyes, revealing her clear and innocent eyes.
"Cai'er..."
Xingyuan swallowed and asked, "Do you know how children come from?"
"do not know."
Cai'er's answer was unusually straightforward, which once again shocked the other people in the car.
Well, it’s the lack of sex education that’s to blame again.
The world where Xingyuan lived in his previous life was like this, let alone the Holy Demon Continent set in the Middle Ages?
Xingyuan was not too surprised by Caier's answer.
After all, apart from the few years when Cai'er was a baby and had no memory or language ability, the only time she had contact with others was less than two years. Apart from a short period of time when she and Xingyuan attended the Preparatory Professional Academy, the rest of the time was spent under the guidance of her great-grandfather Shengyue, with no social interaction or freedom at all.
Could you really expect a conservative person like your great-grandfather to give Cai'er a lesson in physiology and hygiene? It's easy to imagine that this is impossible.
According to the concept of the Holy Demon Continent, this class for young girls should be taught by the mother, Lan Yanyu, to Cai'er. It's a pity that Cai'er seems to have no desire to have any contact with her "family" anymore.
"Then I'll tell you when I'm free."
Xingyuan twitched his lips, trying to endure the pain of being socially dead in front of the other team members. He tried to be as gentle as possible and explained to Cai'er tactfully, "It takes time to have a child..."
"But didn't you just promise me?"
Xingyuan took a deep breath and nodded, "I did promise you just now, but it takes time to have a child. Given our current situation, it will probably take a few more years."
"Oh."
