It Was Time to Have a Baby

In the living room at night.

The two families, totaling seven people, sat together for a meal, enjoying a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

"How long will you two stay this time?"

As Zhang Wanxin served food to Shen Qinghan, she asked in a gentle voice.

Shen Qinghan's eyes curved slightly, her smile particularly sweet, "I'll probably stay for about half a month."

"That's good." Zhang Wanxin smiled, her eyes full of doting. "Today is October 6th, and your 20th birthdays are in a week. We'll be able to celebrate with you in time."

While his mother and fiancée were chatting.

Lin Zichen, who was standing to the side, kept looking at his younger sister in his mother's arms.

Lin Ziying, who is just a month old, is sitting obediently on Zhang Wanxin's lap, happily munching on a large bird leg with her little hands.

That was the thigh meat of Violent Roc; the meat was so firm that even an adult would have difficulty chewing it.

However, Lin Ziying, who was only a tiny little girl, was able to finish gnawing on the bird's leg with her tiny front teeth.

This looks truly amazing.

In the days that followed.

Aside from focusing on his Aperture, deepening his relationship with Shen Qinghan in bed, and spending time with his parents, Lin Zichen spent the rest of his time observing his younger sister, Lin Ziying.

Through his observations over the past few days, he was 100% certain that this younger sister was a local and there was absolutely no possibility that she was a time traveler.

This little girl cries at least 10 times a day and poops and peees in her pants all the time, just like a normal baby.

The only difference is that this younger sister's physical strength is seriously inconsistent with her age.

It's only a little over a month old and it's almost learned to walk already, which is incredible.

After the meal.

Shen Qinghan picked up Lin Ziying, kissed her chubby little face, and laughed, "Yingying has big, watery eyes. She'll definitely be very beautiful when she grows up, just like your Brother Chen, a heartthrob."

Lin Zichen said, "Yingying is a girl, so if she's going to resemble anyone, it'll be you. I'm a boy."

While teasing Lin Ziying, Shen Qinghan said dismissively, "It's different. I've never been a heartthrob. I was disliked by many people when I was in school."

"You're the real heartthrob. From childhood to adulthood, everyone, whether male or female, has liked you."

"Yingying has such strong physical talent, once she goes to school she'll definitely be able to crush her peers like you used to, and no one will dare to dislike her, they'll only like her."

"..."

That's true, Lin Zichen didn't refute it.

If someone is only good-looking but not outstanding in other aspects, then there will definitely be people who are jealous of her and dislike her.

But if someone is not only good-looking but also incredibly talented, everyone will like her and won't be jealous of her at all.

Because we're from completely different worlds, we have no right to be jealous.

"Yingying's little hands are so delicate, with long nails, just as pretty as yours."

Shen Qinghan took Lin Ziying's small hand, gently rubbed her palm, and said to Lin Zichen beside her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ziying, whether it was because she felt itchy from being rubbed or something else, suddenly grabbed Shen Qinghan's index finger and gripped it tightly.

"My sister is so strong; being held by her feels like being clamped by a pair of pliers."

Upon feeling Lin Ziying's strength, Shen Qinghan's pretty face showed surprise.

Lin Zichen wasn't surprised. He had already sensed the strength of his younger sister Lin Ziying's blood and qi. It was as strong as a child's, so it would be strange if she wasn't strong.

"Ouch, my little sister peed on me!"

Shen Qinghan suddenly cried out, feeling somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Lin Zichen laughed, "You were like that when you were little too, you'd wet your pants all the time."

"Hey, stop making fun of me. Hurry up and get the mop to clean the floor."

Shen Qinghan said irritably.

Lin Zichen was speechless. "What do you need a mop for? Have you forgotten that you're here to play in the water?"

"Oh right, I completely forgot about that."

As she spoke, Shen Qinghan had an idea. She levitated all the liquid that Lin Ziying had urinated and flew it to the potted plants on the balcony, giving them some natural fertilizer.

Over by the sofa.

Both sets of parents couldn't help but smile as they watched this scene unfold.

The scene of Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan taking care of Lin Ziying together looks like a young family of three, radiating happiness.

"After her birthday next week, Hanhan will be 20 years old, which is the legal marriage age."

Zhang Wanxin looked at Shen Qinghan in front of her with a big smile on her face.

Lin Yansheng, cracking sunflower seeds, said, "It's no use that Hanhan has reached the legal marriage age; our son won't be old enough to get married for another two years."

"Yes, yes, you're the only one who understands."

Zhang Wanxin rolled her eyes at Lin Yansheng beside her, feeling annoyed that her husband was such a killjoy.

Xu Meng smiled and said, "The legal marriage age is not a problem. Our two families can hold a banquet first and get the two children married. They can register their marriage later when they reach the legal age."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianye quickly waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. Let's get married when we're 22. We're already bound together anyway."

"You're not in a hurry, but I am."

Xu Meng glared at Shen Jianye, inwardly complaining that the men from both families were all the same, how disappointing.

A few days later, on October 14th.

Today is Shen Qinghan's birthday; Lin Zichen's birthday was yesterday.

As is customary, the two have always celebrated their birthdays together since they were children, and this year it just so happens that it 'Shen Qinghan's turn to celebrate her birthday together.

That evening, the two families celebrated in the living room.

Yuan Dongzhi, Liu Chuanwu, Song Yuyan, and Li Chuxin all attended, having been invited by Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan respectively.

At the birthday party.

As in previous years, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan exchanged gifts.

The former gifted the latter a silk dress that he had personally tailored, the craftsmanship of which far surpassed that of any top designer in the world, leaving Li Chuxin, who was the same age, full of envy.

The latter gave the former a painting depicting twenty couples, each representing a year they grew up together—a particularly wasteful gesture.

Amidst cheers and encouragement from the crowd, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan embraced and kissed, leaving behind a memorable photo.

After the birthday party.

Liu Chuanwu walked over with a glass of red wine and asked Lin Zichen, "Zichen, you've been in the Origin Land for three whole months. Have you heard anything from the Pavilion Master?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Dongzhi, Song Yuyan, and Li Chuxin all looked over, showing great concern for the matter.

Lin Zichen, teasing the little sister he was holding, calmly replied, "The information I gathered is that the Pavilion Master refined many Exotic Beast down there, and then broke into a Ruins."

"What Ruins?"

Liu Chuanwu is an archaeologist who has spent nearly half his life studying Ruins. He is very interested in the Ruins that Lin Zichen mentioned.

Lin Zichen put his younger sister down, letting her crawl around, and said, "I don't know the specifics. I got this information from the City Lord of City No. 1, and that's all he told me."

"So..."

Liu Chuanwu nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

At this moment, Yuan Dongzhi asked, "How did you two get along with Qianxue in the Origin Land?"

Lin Zichen: "We haven't spent much time together yet."

Yuan Dongzhi expressed her understanding after hearing this. "That child has a rather withdrawn personality, and almost no one can get along with her."

After saying that, she asked again, "Does Qianxue not remember the two of you?"

Shen Qinghan replied, "Yes, my senior sister doesn't remember me or Lin Zi at all; she just said our names sound familiar."

"So..."

Yuan Dongzhi and Liu Chuanwu nodded in agreement, saying they looked very much like a married couple.

Lin Zichen looked at Yuan Dongzhi and asked, "By the way, Principal Yuan, how's the security here on Earth? Is it any better than before?"

Before entering the Origin Land, Qi Qingmo almost uprooted the Divine Plant Cult.

Without the troublemaker that is the Divine Plant Cult, the situation on Earth should be much more stable.

That's what Lin Zichen was thinking.

And Yuan Dongzhi's answer was exactly what he expected.

Yuan Dongzhi said calmly, "Ever since your Pavilion Master wiped out most of the high-ranking members of the Divine Plant Cult, there are far fewer Human Traitor on Earth, and the situation has stabilized considerably. It's almost impossible to see Human Traitor trouble."

"That's good."

Lin Zichen felt much more at ease immediately.

Over the past three months, his biggest worry has been his parents at home.

Hearing Yuan Dongzhi say this, I immediately felt relieved.

"Zichen, what's the situation at the Origin Land?"

This time it was Yuan Dongzhi's turn to ask questions. She and Lin Zichen were basically asking each other questions and exchanging information about Earth and the Origin Land.

Lin Zichen shook his head. "Although no major battle has broken out, the situation doesn't look good."

Yuan Dongzhi: "What do you mean?"

Lin Zichen explained, "A few days before Hanhan and I returned to Earth, many Land of Extinction Exotic Human from the Desolate Lands appeared in the danger zone outside City No. 1. Some people who went out of the city for training were attacked by these Exotic Human."

"Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction?"

Yuan Dongzhi's expression was solemn, and he asked in confusion, "Isn't the Land of Extinction located on the very edge of the Western Region? How come it has suddenly moved to the Southern Region?"

What Western Region Southern Region?

What are these two talking about?

Liu Chuanwu, Song Yuyan, and Li Chuxin were all a little confused.

The three of them didn't know much about the Origin Land and couldn't understand Lin Zichen and Yuan Dongzhi 'Origin Land conversation about it.

"Could it be that the Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction have joined forces with the Exotic Plant from the Sun and Sun-Moon Sacred Land?"

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Dongzhi came up with this guess.

Lin Zichen said he didn't know.

His understanding of the Origin Land was even less than Yuan Dongzhi's, making it difficult for him to offer any reasonable guesses.

In the blink of an eye.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan have been on Earth for half a month now; it's time for them to return to their Origin Land Shine and Contribute.

The parents of both families, along with the naive and ignorant Lin Ziying, got up early in the morning to see the two off.

Seeing her older siblings about to leave, two-month-old Lin Ziying burst into tears.

Over the past two weeks, she has enjoyed spending time with these two older brothers and sisters who are almost 20 years apart in age, and she is reluctant to see them leave.

"Yingying, don't cry. Your older brother and sister will come back to see you soon, and they'll bring you lots of delicious food."

Shen Qinghan held Lin Ziying's small hand and comforted her gently.

Lin Ziying couldn't understand, she just kept roaring like a dragon and crying loudly.

Zhang Wanxin gently rocked her daughter in her arms and said to Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan:

"Your little sister is only two months old and can't understand your comforting words. Why don't you two have a baby soon, so your little sister can have a playmate?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zichen couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

He thought that after Zhang Wanxin had her second child, she would no longer urge him to have a baby with Shen Qinghan.

Looking back now, I realize I was overthinking it.

Parents who have already achieved financial freedom no longer need to struggle for a living. They can practically relax every day and are probably dreaming of having many children and grandchildren, the more the better.

"Yes, Hanhan, why don't you and Lin Zi have a baby soon? Your dad and I want to hold our grandchildren."

Xu Meng looked at Shen Qinghan and said.

Shen Qinghan didn't know how to answer, and silently looked at Lin Zichen beside her.

She also wanted to have a child soon, but that depended on Lin Zichen; her weak personality made it impossible for her to make the decision.

Lin Zichen felt a lot of pressure under the gazes of the group.

He finally said, "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he quickly took Shen Qinghan's hand and led her towards the Administration Building on the Inner Campus.

He genuinely has no intention of having children now, but his parents' urging is becoming unbearable, leaving him with no choice but to run away.

"Lin Zi, when do you want to have a baby?"

On the way to the Administration Building, Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment before asking the question.

Lin Zichen asked her, "Do you really want to have a child?"

"Yes, I really want to."

Shen Qinghan nodded.

Seeing that she really wanted to, Lin Zichen thought for a moment and said, "Let's get our marriage certificate after my 22nd birthday, and then we'll have a baby."

Shen Qinghan immediately lit up with a smile, "Okay."

She dreamed of having a child with Lin Zichen.

Now that I've received a definite answer from Lin Zichen, it's hard not to be happy.

I might even wake up laughing tonight.

Soon.

The two went up to the rooftop of the Administration Building.

At 8 a. m. sharp, the roar of a helicopter echoed from high above.

Upon seeing the helicopter arrive, Lin Zichen scooped up Shen Qinghan and leaped into the helicopter cabin.

Not long after.

The two arrived at the Military District headquarters in Capital City.

After passing through a long Biological Passage, the two returned to their Origin Land after half a month.

This time, the two did not feel as uncomfortable as they had when they first arrived.

After three months of adaptation, both of them are now basically immune to the repulsion of the Boundary Force, as free and at ease as fish in water.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan walked towards the dormitory to take out a bunch of daily necessities they had brought from home, so as not to take up Storage Space.

On the way to the dormitory.

Lin Zichen noticed a significant change in the city's environment.

There were even more guards on the high walls of the city gate.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the city was somewhat oppressive, with an inexplicable sense of heaviness.

What happened...?

With this question in mind, Lin Zichen specifically asked a guard who was passing by in a hurry, "Brother, has something happened in the city?"

The guard was in a hurry and didn't want to stop and waste time.

But seeing that the one asking the question was Lin Zichen, the most admired super genius in the city, he stopped and said with a wry smile:

"In the two weeks since you returned to Earth, the Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction and the Sun-Moon Sacred Land have joined forces to launch an attack on the city, resulting in numerous deaths."

"Now, the dangerous areas outside the city have been completely occupied by the Land of Extinction and the Sun and Sun-Moon Sacred Land."

"The situation is very bad."

"..."

The city has been besieged?

Quite a few people died?

Lin Zichen was surprised; he hadn't expected such a big thing to happen in the city in just half a month.
