My Little Baby (2)
The system couldnât stand it anymore and said, âHost, you donât have a baby. You just ate too much, so your stomach feels uncomfortable. It will be better tomorrow.â
âBut I already slept with Yu Qingshi.â Jiang Xiaoman wiped her tears from her reddened eyes. âYe Jiajia said if people sleep together, then they will have a baby. Thatâs what it says on TV.â
â⦠Well, itâs not wrong that sleeping together can make people have a baby, but you only slept together. There wasnât⦠any other activity.â
âWhat other activity do you need?â
âThe one that can give birth to babies⦠Not suitable for children⦠Anyways, you canât give birth to babies!!â
Jiang Xiaomanâs heart relaxed a little. She let out a sigh of relief and continued asking, âIf babies donât come from sleeping together, then where do they come from? Where did I come from? Where did Yu Qingshi come from?â
She had to know this.
There would definitely be other children who will be confused in the future. She needed to know this so she can teach them.
The system was silent for a while. âNeed to sleep together.â
ââ¦â Jiang Xiaoman was silent for a moment, then she started crying again.
The system was so horrible!! It clearly said that there would be no babies from sleeping together, then it said that babies come from sleeping together. So would there be babies or not!?
The system said, âSleep is only a prerequisite. Itâs not⦠an absolute requirement.â
The system was going crazy.
It looked at the entry and didnât know how to explain it.
Jiang Xiaoman asked, âThen what are the necessary conditions?â
ââ¦Itâs something that children shouldnât know. They will understand when they grow up! If you ask me now, then what should I say!?â
Jiang Xiaoman stopped and thought for a while. âYou donât have to be so fierce. If you donât know, just say that you donât know. I wonât laugh at you.â
ââ¦â The system was really angry.
The systemâs IQ may be questioned, but its knowledge bank may not be questioned.
âHow can I not know? I know everything! I have videos, images, and text, but how am I supposed to say it? Can I send it out? Can you see it? Stop thinking of weird things every day!â
âWhy canât it be sent?â Jiang Xiaoman suspected that it was a lie.
âBecause it will be blocked if I sent it! Itâs in my coding!â
âOh.â
Jiang Xiaoman buried her head between her knees again, crying bitterly.
Obviously, the systemâs popular science and comfort did not hit the target.
After a while, the system said, âHost, you are not old enough to have a baby. Youâll know when you grow up.â
Jiang Xiaoman held her face with both hands. She washed her face again and calmed down a lot, then asked the system, âYou mean, the baby is in my stomach now. They will grow as I grow up, and then they can be born?â
ââ¦well, something like that. Anyways, itâs not possible right now, so donât worry about it.â
Jiang Xiaoman was relieved and asked the system for confirmation. âHow old is old enough?â
âWell⦠17, 18, or 24, 26⦠ish.â
Jiang Xiaoman finally let out a sigh of relief.
She changed to her pajamas and went to bed obediently.
She was sleeping well, but in the middle of the night, her body suddenly shuddered. She turned her body and sat up.
After sitting in a daze for a while, she burst into tears.
She did not dare to let Grandma know, so she could only bite the blanket and cried miserably. The system was taken aback for a while and guessed that she must have had a nightmare.
It was like when she dreamt of Jiang Xing when she was three years old.
But recently, it didnât seem like there was any main story quest to do. What sad thing did the host dream about that she cried so miserably?
âHost, what did you dream of?â the system asked.
âI-I dreamt that I⦠I had a baby.â
ââ¦â The system turned speechless for a while and said, âI already said that you canât give birth right now. Donât be the man from Qi that feared the sky falling.â
Jiang Xiaoman shook her head and said, âWhat I dreamt of was something that will be born later.â
ââ¦Then why are you crying now?â
âI dreamt that I gave birth to a litter of piglets!!!â
The system was really, really taken aback.
Jiang Xiaoman said while still sobbing, âThere were so many piglets. They looked like Fragrance and came to headbutt me every day, saying that they wanted to drink milk⦠I donât want, I donât want, I donât want! I donât want to give birth to pigletsâ¦â
ââ¦why did you have such a dream?â
âBecause I slept with Fragrance the other day.â
ââ¦â
The system thought about it calmly and said, âHost, you and Fragrance are reproductively isolated.â
Sure enough, its â100,000 Whysâ host asked why again.
âWhat is reproductive isolation?â
âDifferent species cannot give birth to babies. Pigs can only give birth to pigs, and humans can only give birth to humans. So, you canât give birth to baby pigs, understand?â
âReally?â
âReally.â
Jiang Xiaoman was relieved, and her crying gradually stopped.
She wanted to sleep, but her dream was so terrible that she didnât dare to sleep. She could only get up and write in the diary on her desk to calm down.
She couldnât show this one to the teacher. She had to keep it as a record of the babyâs birthday.
Otherwise, they wouldnât know their birthday when they were born later.
âToday is the first day that the baby is in my stomach. The system said that it would be born when I grow up later, maybe when I am 17 or 18, or when I am 24 or 26. By then, the baby must be very healthy too.â
After writing, Jiang Xiaoman, who was exhausted, went back to bed and slept.
When she woke up the next day, her eye sockets were red and swollen from tossing and turning last night. She looked sluggish and haggard, and it was dark underneath her eyelids.
When she went out, she saw Yu Qingshi. His face was similar to hers.
His eyes were also red and swollen, and it was dark underneath his eyelids. He looked very haggard, just like her.
The two children looked at each other and understood with just a glance.
Jiang Xiaoman asked, âDid you have a nightmare last night?â
Yu Qingshi asked, âDid you have a nightmare too?â
