Lin Qiao silently looked at Liu Jun and threatened the latter with her eyes, ‘I’ll hit you if you don’t shut up.’
Liu Jun smiled and turned to glance at the lake, then asked, “Aren’t you gonna ask Viney about your current condition?”
Being reminded by her, Lin Qiao decided to ask about it.
“Viney?” She put her clothes on and turned to shout at the lake. Then, she abruptly touched her stomach.
‘Eh? It became harder!’
Viney reached a vine out of the water to the lakeside, then coiled around Lin Qiao’s hand.
‘Mama…’
“Viney,” Lin Qiao asked her, “Why is it so hard for my hair to grow? Lili’s hair have grown so long, but mine only grew a tiny bit.”
Viney responded with, ‘Mama, I focused the energy on your tummy, so the recovery of your hair and throat might be slower… But Mama, your hair are alive now, not as dead as before. Mama, you don’t need me to cure your hair anymore, because they’ll grow out by themselves, a little slowly though.’
Lin Qiao looked at the vine with surprise, saying, “Eh? Can my hair grow by themselves now? Like a healthy human being?”
Liu Jun, who stood beside Lin Qiao, looked at her in shock. Judging by Lin Qiao’s words, her hair were now able to grow like those of healthy human beings. They were no longer dead like the hair of zombies.
‘Yes, yes, that’s true… Mama, I’m a little tired, ‘ said Viney.
Seeing that Viney’s vine wasn’t twisting as energetically as before, Lin Qiao said, “Alright, go get some rest. Thank you, Viney!”
‘Mama, you thanked me again… ‘ said Viney unhappily. ‘You’re making me feel like an outsider… ‘
Sensing Viney’s discontentment, Lin Qiao hurriedly touched the vine on her wrist and said, “Sorry, my mistake! My dear Viney is so adorable, how can she be an outsider? We’re a family!”
Hearing that, Viney was cheered up, ‘Yeah, yeah, Viney is the most adorable one… Mama, I’m going down to sleep. Call me if you need anything…’
While speaking, she unwrapped Lin Qiao’s wrist and drew back into the lake.
Liu Jun looked at Lin Qiao and asked curiously, “Is Viney unhappy? What’s exactly is the relations.h.i.+p between you two? You only thanked her, and that made her unhappy?”
Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “I’m not sure what’s her relations.h.i.+p with me. But, when she showed up for the first time, she called me… eh… Mama.”
Liu Jun popped her eyes and stared at Lin Qiao with disbelief, saying, “What? She called you Mama? She’s not your child, is she?”
Lin Qiao looked at her with a strange expression and asked, “Do you mean my child or Lu Tianyu’s? Have I been pregnant before? I don’t remember that.”
Liu Jun lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, “Before our base was destroyed, I had never heard that our Chief was pregnant. Even if you were pregnant, you wouldn’t let everyone know so soon, right? And, no one saw you with pregnant belly before.”
While speaking, she glanced at Lin Qiao’s stomach.
Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “But, this isn’t my old body. Even if I were pregnant, the baby might have gone already. It can’t be that… the baby’s soul reincarnated along with mine… can it?”
After saying that, she suddenly paused, then silently looked at Liu Jun.
“It… might be… possible,” Liu Jun looked back at her.
Both of them stayed silent for seven or eight seconds.
After that, Lin Qiao covered her forehead with a hand and said with disbelief, “Wait a minute, leave me in peace! That can’t be possible!”
Liu Jun widely opened her eyes and responded, “Why not? Didn’t you reincarnate? Why can’t the baby reincarnate as well?”
Then, Lin Qiao suddenly thought of another question. She put down her hand and said, “Wait, wait, you said that I was pregnant… Then, who was that man?”
Liu Jun looked at her and remained silent for three seconds, then said, “I can only tell you that before he betrayed the entire base, he was with you the whole time…”
Lin Qiao gazed at her and said with a serious look, “Are you talking about… Yang Jianhua?”
Both of them fell into silence again.
But suddenly, Lin Qiao’s face turned dark. “Are you saying that I was in a relations.h.i.+p with Yang Jianhua, and I was pregnant with his baby. However, before he found out about the baby, that sc.u.m betrayed me, and the baby, and the base? Am I right?” She said with an icy-cold voice.
Liu Jun sensed that the air pressure around Lin Qiao getting lower and lower. With a frown, she said, “Calm down, calm down! That’s merely my guess. Before you restore your memories, all these can only be guesses. Perhaps, the baby isn’t brought here by you… And maybe, Yang Jianhua isn’t the father, but someone else is…”
Lin Qiao took a deep breath to calm herself down. She pondered over Liu Jun’s words, and found that they were reasonable indeed. She suddenly recalled the purple-red color that she saw near the bottom of the lake, and started wondering if that was… the outside of her womb.
‘No way! Viney isn’t my baby, is she?’
“Just, just leave me alone!” Lin Qiao said with a dull face, then flashed out of the s.p.a.ce. After coming out, she stood on the roof of the club and lowered her head while touching her stomach.
For some reason, she became very sensitive about the whole pregnancy guess after hearing Liu Jun’s words. She even started looking forward to something in a strange way.
Was she really in a relations.h.i.+p with Yang Jianhua? If that were true, she must have been blind before, as she actually fell with a man like that! So blind!
Thinking about the Yang Jianhua that she had met recently, and that she had probably slept with him before, she felt sick.
She pressed a hand on her lower belly, wondering how the baby had been existing in her s.p.a.ce if its soul had truly reincarnated along with hers.
Viney said that she would be able to come out after reaching level-five. But, in what way?
Lin Qiao wouldn’t need to give birth to Viney, would she?
Her stomach was empty now. Even though her womb might still remain, it must be dead after she turned into a zombie. Was she still able to create a life?
Somehow, another possibility popped up in Lin Qiao’s mind as she suddenly recalled that the previous owner of her body had had s.e.x with Wu Chengyue.
‘Eh… No way…!’
If it were Wu Chengyue’s spermatozoon, added with Lu Tianyu’s egg, then added with the soul of her baby…
Lin Qiao felt that if she were really going to give birth to a baby, she would have to do a DNA test after the baby was born.
While she was thinking about this baby issue on the roof, the look on her face suddenly changed. Then, she walked to the edge of the roof and looked down.
It was late at night. She saw a few people sneakily walking around the vehicle that she had lent to Feng Ting Squad.
She frowned slightly, then put her hat on and turned herself visible before leaping off the roof.
