Come on Darling - Chapter 12
The family dinner finally ended smoothly. After the meal, the elders continued to chat with Julian. After Ai Xiaoye helped her mother clean up the leftovers, she quietly pulled Ai Xiaoguo and said, “Come and help me move the chair downstairs.”
When he arrived in the storage room, Ai Xiaoye asked, “What did Chu Xiu tell her grandma?”
Ai Xiaoguo scratched her head, but she was not surprised. After thinking about it, he said to Ai Xiaoye, “I haven’t heard the details. I guess she might be saying that Julian is a cowherd. It seems that he had checked for that disease at a doctor friend of hers…” He secretly watched. Looking at Ai Xiaoye’s face, she went on to say, “She saw that you spent a lot of money on Julian, and she was afraid that you would be deceived, so she told you. You scolded her for being nosy, so she called her grandma and cried. “
Ai Xiaoye thought, how can people be so cheap! She regretted that she didn’t like gossiping too much—she should have advertised the best things Chu Xiu had done in the compound when Chu Xiu took the pregnancy report to Chu Qiao to demonstrate. People just can’t be soft-hearted to the bastard, you give her a face, maybe someday she will bite you back.
Ai Xiaoye has no doubt that Chu Xiu’s effort to make up such a long nonsense will definitely not just tell her grandma. It is hateful that Chu Xiu dragged the family to Sanya for vacation after spreading the rumors. She was still ignorant here.
She asked Ai Xiaoguo: “You believe it?”
Ai Xiaoguo said decisively, “You are my sister, I can trust her!” He comforted Ai Xiaoye, “Don’t worry, I saw Julian today. Grandma and aunt must also know she is talking nonsense.”
Ai Xiaoguo’s mood improved a little now, “It’s pretty much the same.”
People who please small animals usually also please children.
When Ai Xiaoye returned upstairs, she saw Ai Xiaohu crawling around on Julian with a smile. While crawling, she stopped from time to time to look up at him, and then climbed more happily.
Julian looked at him with his eyes bent and smiled, and from time to time he stretched his arms in front of him to make the road he climbed more rugged and prolonged. Tired of climbing, Ai Xiaohu threw himself on his shoulder. Julian handed the milk bottle to him, and he opened his mouth to drink milk contentedly like melted glutinous rice dumplings.
Ai Xiaoye was afraid that Ai Xiaohu was pressing his stomach and vomiting milk, so she stepped forward to hug him. As a result, Ai Xiaohu hugged Julian’s neck and didn’t let go. He didn’t cry, so he looked back to see who caused the trouble.
Ai Xiaoguo smiled: “It’s your aunt.” Ai Xiaohu looked around and found that it was indeed his aunt, so she let go of her ignorantly.
Ai Xiaoye sat down next to Julian, hugged Ai Xiaohu on his lap, and poked him angrily and funny, “It’s only a few minutes, you have gotten acquainted with outsiders?” Can’t help but tease Julian again,” Unexpectedly, you are kind to children.”
Julian smiled, “Innate skills.” After a while, he said again, “I also like children very much.”
The family immediately laughed and said, “It’s easy to say, you two will have more lives in the future.” But suddenly remembering something, a few people began to enthusiastically discuss the nationality issue of foreign marriages and family planning.
Ai Xiaoye looked at Julian with some surprise, when Ai Xiaohu had finished drinking her milk. The child still needs attention. Seeing no one is paying attention, he stands up from Ai Xiaoye’s lap and hangs it around her neck to behave like a coquettish. Julian’s originally kind gaze was a little subtle in an instant, he quickly raised his head and smiled at Ai Xiaoguo, “He seems to be peeing.”
Ai Xiaoye always felt that when Wang Jiahui pulled off her neck and carried him to the bathroom, Ai Xiaohu’s eyes were a little innocent.
It was close to four o’clock when he returned in the afternoon.
Ai Xiaoye was not in a hurry to go back to school and work, so he stayed at home for another night.
Julian finally got away from the questioning of Ai Xiaoye’s mother, and when he returned to the study, he saw Ai Xiaoye setting up a telescope on the balcony.
The sky was clear that night, the crescent moon sank early, the sky was so dark that it was splashed with ink, and the stars in the sky had an aggressive brilliance. Although there are no special astronomical phenomena, it is a good time to stargaze.
Julian went to the balcony to help her.
There is no heating on the balcony, and the air feels damp and cold when the door is opened. Julian hugged her from behind. He was slender, his lips rubbed against her ears intentionally or unintentionally, and his arms stretched out to the front to help her adjust the angle of the lens barrel.
In winter, Ai Xiaoye had cold hands and feet, and her knuckles were dull at this time, and she couldn’t even hold the nuts tightly. He didn’t mind that he took the advantage, so he stretched the sleeves of the sweater to wrap his hands and leaned back in his arms.
Julian smiled deep. The voice came through his chest, and there was a tingling sensation. Ai Xiaoye blushed a little bit, and then she had to move further, so Julian held her back and said, “Don’t move.”
Julian helped her adjust the focus, and asked: “You like the universe?”
When the magnification of the small household telescopes used more than ten years ago was guaranteed, the sharpness was difficult to adjust. Ai Xiaoye has been useless for some years, but still remember how excited she was when she first bought it.
“I like it very much.” Ai Xiaoye said while looking for Saturn, “When I was young, my father took me to the observatory. I saw the nebula in Andromeda for the first time. The teacher at the observatory showed us popular science films. I still remember The name is “Traveling to the Edge of the Universe.” You can’t imagine how shocked I was at that time. Before entering junior high school, I always believed that I would be either an astronomer or an astronaut in the future. Frustrated, “Of course, my dream was shattered as soon as I entered junior high school… Physics is so hard to learn T__T.”
Julian smiled softly, and he asked intentionally or unintentionally, “Then, do you believe in the existence of aliens?”
“Of course I believe.” Ai Xiaoye almost didn’t hesitate. “Anyone who knows a little about the universe can’t be proud to think that human beings and the earth are unique-unless he believes in religion.”
“Hmm… Then what do you think aliens are like.”
“How would I know… There must be more than one kind of aliens.” She sighed. “But I probably won’t see it in my life… The universe is too big. It took 35 years for the Voyager to leave for less than 180 years. 100 million kilometers, and the nearest star outside the solar system is more than 4 light-years away from the earth. It’s hopeless to think about it.”
“Do you really want to see aliens?”
“I really wanted to. When I was young, everyone was afraid of being caught by aliens to do experiments, but I always felt that if we could meet aliens, it would be worth it even if we were caught doing experiments…but there are too many people on Earth. , Even if aliens actually come to the earth to pick experimental materials, it is probably not my turn.” She actually showed a very regretful expression, “If I were not so ordinary, it would be fine.”
Julian’s mood is quite subtle. This is the first time he has encountered a human whose life ideal is to be captured by aliens for experimentation.
“If the alien came to the earth to pick a bride… would you marry him?”
Ai Xiaoye felt at a loss, “How do you fall in love with different species?”
“Who said it must be different?” Julian whispered to persuade, “You see white people, black people, yellow people… can’t they all fall in love and intermarriage? I remember you painted demons, demons, and humans. Love story. These are all okay, why can’t earthlings and aliens?”
Ai Xiaoye carefully recalled the images of aliens in her mind—parasitic beasts, blue skin, iron man, short and ugly…
After a while, he said firmly, “It’s just not possible anyway.”
“Obviously it can be used as experimental material!”
“That’s not the same thing.” Ai Xiaoye didn’t even have to think about it, “Mating and love are ethical issues. Experimenting with mice and forcing them to marry you, is this comparable?”
Julian didn’t say a word for a long time.
When Ai Xiaoye turned around suspiciously, he was pushed hard against the wall. When he kissed him, he was a little bit fierce.
Ai Xiaoye feels that Julian seems to like to play forced, which is not a good phenomenon-is she really so boring that Lin Wei thinks she likes a semi-compulsive love model?
If she made him jealous the last time she made a mistake, then this time it was nothing short of a disaster.
Fortunately, although his expression is tangled and fierce, the actual movements are very gentle. Even fearing that the balcony wall was too cold, I used my arm to help her cushion her back. And Ai Xiaoye was really cold, so she didn’t want to push him away for a while.
But Julian seemed more aggrieved. “Can robots be fine?” He leaned closer, blocking the light in the study, and his eyes were dark and deep in the night.
Ai Xiaoye: …she wants to say no. The problem is that Lin Wei has never asked her opinion! The established facts are here, is she really cruel to not want Julian to send him back to Lin Wei for destruction? Or break his heart ***? Of course, then again—even though she didn’t spend much time together, she couldn’t help but admit that she already had feelings for Julian.
Ai Xiaoye thought for a while, and said awkwardly, “If it’s you, the robot will do.”
“But the robot can’t let you have a baby.”
Ai Xiaoye suddenly realized-she thought Julian was too slender, did she look greedy when she looked at Ai Xiaohu?
She said: “I don’t want to have children that much either.” The note explained to him, “If I were a man, I could find a woman to give birth to me and raise a child. Anyway, I only need to pay money. But for a woman, with a child, your career, dreams, and pursuits are over. Because children and family will take up most of your time and energy, you simply don’t have enough spare energy to do other things. Of course. The happiness of raising a child is also incalculable, but at the moment I think my life can have more meaning than just being a child.”
Ai Xiaoye only felt that Julian’s body was stiffer.
It took a while before she heard Julian say helplessly and resentfully, “What stupid things the earth men have done…”
Ai Xiaoye asked puzzledly, “What?”
“No,” Julian said, hugging her gently, “Nothing.”?
