Chapter 1176: Pass On The Genes
"I did not say that," Shui Xian made his stance clear at this point without any hesitation.
"But you implied it," said Raelle.
"Did I? Why don't I know?" Shui Xian suddenly feigned amnesia just to get out of this situation. Seeing how her eyes were still glued to his face, he finally gave in, "I really didn't mean it. It wasn't intentional either."
"I know," said Raelle. "Why are you panicking so much? Do you think I'll eat you up?"
"I'm more than happy to let you take a bite."
Raelle saw his expression and understood all his dirty thoughts, "Let me take a bite? Are you sure about that?"
"Very."
Raelle pinched his face and said, "Well, I've had my fill."
"What?! Wife, are you tired of me already?"
Raelle patted his cheek, "Stop talking nonsense. And why did you say it took twenty-seven years to find me? Aren't you twenty-nine? What about the other two years?"
"A baby has no memories. Memories usually begin from the age of three or four. So, I just cut off the first two years of my life journey. After all, I have no impression of those two years."
"And you have the impression from when you were three?"
"Yes."
"Then tell me about it too."
Shui Xian pursed his lips and thought about it for a while before saying, "I remember my mom put me on the bed and went to change clothes. Being the restless one, I rolled down the bed and got a head injury."
"What a memory!" commented Raelle. "So, when people say that head injuries can affect a kid's intelligence, they ain't lying, eh?"
Shui Xian nodded along with her but as soon as her words sank in, his expression changed, "Baby, are you really insulting me right now?"
"How is that possible?" she asked in return.
Shui Xian opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He actually wasn't able to say anything after seeing the twinkle in her eyes. What a rare sight. He could tell that there were very subtle changes in Raelle since the last accident but at this moment, that fact was even more clear to him.
He didn't know why but he felt like she seemed a lot livelier right now.
He wondered if it was his illusion or real.
"Actually, I think we don't have to get any parenting advice," he suddenly commented.
"Why?" asked Raelle as she wondered why he was suddenly bringing this topic up again.
"Why else? I think I don't wanna share my wife with anyone. Also, think about it. If we had a daughter, you'll have to share your favorite husband with your daughter."
"So?"
"Haven't you heard? A daughter is a father's lover from the past life."
"There is no scientific basis for that."
"But fathers are daughter-slaves. Haven't you seen Soren? Even if he has Sammy, if Xena is around then he has no way to get his way. Soren becomes very different when things involve his daughter."
Shui Xian saw her thinking seriously about this matter and sighed in his head. He actually would love to have a child that belonged to the two of them since he always loved kids. But after the last incident, he was shaken. He felt like she was more important than the child. If he had to put her life at stake to get a child, he'd rather not do so.
It's not like people can't live without a child.
"Also, a child will bring so much trouble," he added slowly to lead her thoughts astray. "Think about it. A child has no fixed time of eating and sleeping. And you have to feed him whenever he is hungry. It'll mess up your perfect schedule. So much trouble. And in confinement, you can't even step down the bed for a whole month. A lot of activities will be restricted. You won't even be able to bath for so long."
His hypnotic voice was working the hypnotic very well right now but Raelle didn't fall deep into it and woke up in time to observe his face. Seeing the look in his eyes, how could she not tell what he was doing right now?
This man...
She held his face in her hands and looked into his eyes, "Stop it! It's troublesome, I agree. But if I can take the trouble to fall in love with you, I can take on more trouble. You're underestimating my potential here. You shouldn't be doing that."
"I..."
"No," she cut him off. "I know what you're worried about but still, no. I want a child. I want it. I might not have had this desire before but now, I have it. I want a kid. I want it!" Shui Xian was helpless before her stubbornness. "Also, how can I not pass on my phenomenal genes? Wouldn't I be depriving this world from a genius who inherited genes from my extraordinary self? How unfair to the world?"
Shui Xian's lips stretched into a smile that he couldn't hold back.
"You think about it. I owe it to the world to pass on my intelligence to the next generation. And you owe this world this beautiful smile of yours. Don't you dare say we are not having a child."
Shui Xian finally laughed at her and shook his head before his hold around her waist tightened, "You're right. It's a big responsibility on us to pass on your intelligence. What if there is no sane person in the world of emotional fools like me? Someone has to take the responsibility."
"It's okay to be emotional fools. If a sane person like me can fall in love with an emotional fool, it means emotional fools have their own unique charm."
Shui Xian laughed louder and she said, "See? This is the smile that came like a storm and swept away my sanity. How can I miss the chance to pass on this smile?"
Shui Xian rubbed her nose with the tip of his nose lovingly.
