Chapter 76: She Really Likes Children
The two stood silently for a while before Xiao Han noticed Xiao Shao’s gloomy expression. He glanced at his brother and thought for a moment.
"Elder Brother, does the hidden guard have any other reports?" He asked cautiously.
After Xiao Han asked, Xiao Shao didn’t answer him for a long time. Just when Xiao Han thought that the secret guards were just reporting about the Empress Dowager, Xiao Shao suddenly spoke.
"They gave me the results of the investigation about Miss Xu’s background." He answered with an expressionless face.
Xiao Han looked at him and asked, "What did they find?"
Xiao Shao was silent for a moment, and said, "They didn’t find anything. It’s as if she suddenly appeared out of thin air."
Xiao Han was taken aback when he heard what Xiao Shai said. With the ability of the hidden guards, it is almost impossible to hide information from them. But seeing the expression on his elder brother’s face, he decided to shut up. Both of them stood there in silence, busy with their own thoughts.
"You should go back to sleep." Xiao Shao said these words suddenly, and then turned around to leave.
Looking at his straight back, Xiao Han couldn’t help sighing. Scratching his head, he glanced at the moon again, then walked into the dilapidated temple and continued his sleep.
Early the next morning, Xu Xiang was awakened by the sound of a wolf’s howl before dawn. She rubbed her eyes and yawned a few times before she sobered up. She looked around and found that no one was around.
Sniffing her body, she frowned and decided to take a shower before anyone woke up. She stood up and immediately entered her own space. This is the first time she is going to shower in the newly built bathroom after the house was built.
She appeared in front of her little house and walked in quickly. After tossing all day yesterday, her body is already covered with sweat and dirty. Walking into the house, she took off her dirty shoes and walked to the bathroom with bare feet.
Stepping into the simple and spacious bathroom, she quickly took off her clothes and took a comfortable bath. Ten minutes later, she came out of the bathroom wearing a clean combat uniform, feeling refreshed. Since only thirty seconds had passed in the outside world, she decided to finish her breakfast first before leaving the space.
She took a box of breakfast meals and a carton of milk from the warehouse, sat down on the couch and started eating. As she ate, she tended to her fields, factories, and warehouses with her mind. Fifteen minutes later, she’s done with breakfast and her daily work.
Throwing the empty package and milk box into the trash can, Xu Xiang gets out of her space. When she appeared back into the cage, only fifty seconds had passed. She looked around, saw no one, and stood there happily watching the sunrise.
After a while, the sky gradually brightened, and the morning activities at the Xiuluo tribe camp began. Xu Xiang watched with great interest as the people of the Xiuluo tribe woke up to start a new day. Unlike her original world, where she lived primarily with robot assistance, everything in this world was made by human hands and done manually.
While she was watching the people of the Xiuluo tribe working and chatting, she saw a group of children walking towards her prison. Xu Xiang looked at those children, as they looked at her with fear and curiosity. Thinking of the rare meeting with the children in her original world, she smiled at the children.
In her original world, humans have stopped giving birth since the discovery of the technology to create babies through DNA combination. The number of babies dropped dramatically every year as interest to have children waned. Furthermore, after the apocalypse, the death rates of children, women, and the elderly rose sharply.
Xu Xiang has lived two lifetimes, but she has seen less than a hundred children in her whole life. Even more so when she’s living in an apocalyptic time. For forty years, she had not seen a single newborn baby. So, when she saw these children looking at her, she was very happy because she really likes children.
Once in her previous life, when she was extremely lonely, she had the idea of having a child. It’s a pity that her body and living situation did not allow her the opportunity to have children of her own.
Coming back to her senses, she crouched down and looked at them. Smiling at them, she said, "Good morning."
The children looked at her smiling face in silence. The youngest girl looked at her clothes and asked, "Why are your clothes different from ours?"
"I don’t know. Maybe we have a different culture." She answered the little girl gently.
The little girl tilted her head and asked, "Are you here to eat us?"
Hearing the little girl’s question, Xu Xiang chuckled. She looked at the faces of the other children and saw the same fear on their faces. After thinking for a moment, she looked at the little girl and said, "No. I didn’t eat people."
After saying that, she thought for a while, and took out a bunch of marble tea eggs from her space. The children screamed in terror when she presented a bowl full of brown eggs.
The children: "Ah!"
The speechless Xu Xiang: "....." ’I suddenly felt like I had three heads and six arms.’
Xu Xiang looked at the children fleeing in all directions, then at the bowl containing the marble tea eggs in her hand in silence. She pouted, put the bowl on the ground and sat down. She took an egg and peeled it absent-mindedly.
"What is that?" A childish voice asked.
Xu Xiang raised her head, and saw the little girl from before looking at the egg in her hand while drooling. She looked at the marble tea egg in her hand, then at the little girl, and asked, "This is marble tea egg. Do you want to try it?"
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Looking at her cute expression, Xu Xiang felt that today is really a good day. She slowly extended her hand holding the peeled marble tea egg to the little girl, for fear of scaring the little girl.
She whispered: "Here, take it. It’s really delicious."
