Chapter 395 - 195: Entrusting My Children?
Upon hearing Su Jiameng’s words, Gu Ningzhi twitched his lips, internally sighing "Women are just troublesome."
Of course, although he wasn’t very close with Su Jiameng, Gu Ningzhi knew that she was a cautious and life-cherishing person. If she weren’t fully prepared, she wouldn’t act recklessly. In the end, all he could say was, "Don’t go losing your life."
Having achieved his goal, Gu Ningzhi had no reason to stay any longer. However, before leaving, he made a request that surprised Su Jiameng.
"You want to take a photo with Huaixi and them?" Su Jiameng asked, furrowing her brow. This was, of course, a small request, but was Gu Ningzhi really that close to the two kids? Why make such a request before leaving? This abnormal behavior made Su Jiameng vigilant.
"Yes, actually I quite like these two kids. But since I won’t see them for so many years, I’ll miss them. So, a photo as a memento; when we meet again, there’s evidence that I knew what they looked like as children," Gu Ningzhi said naturally.
Su Jiameng instinctively didn’t believe such an awkward excuse, but as the fellow insisted on it, she was left with no choice. Su Jiameng noted this detail in her mind, only realizing later how slow she had been.
Gu Ningzhi happily embraced the two kids and took a photo, then left contentedly. Su Jiameng just lazily shrugged her lips at this, "Safe travels. The universe is full of dangers; I hope you make it back alive."
After all, he joined the Expedition Army for her request. Regardless of his reasons, she hoped nothing would happen to him.
"Naturally!" Gu Ningzhi replied with a dazzling smile, then mischievously brought his index and middle fingers together, touching his brow.
Watching him leave, disappearing into the glow of the setting sun, Su Jiameng lowered her head, giving a gentle kiss to the quiet Huaixi who was sucking his plump fingers. She murmured, "If things go smoothly, there will be some restless times ahead."
With a vague look dawning on her face, Su Jiameng continued, "But for the happiness of our family, Mom must also prepare for that day. Grow up quickly, my little man, and let’s fight side by side in the future."
Whether Huaixi understood or not, the little guy coincidentally pulled his fingers from his mouth, revealing a toothless, radiant smile while clapping his hands, appearing very happy with his mother’s decision. Su Jiameng knew such a young child couldn’t understand these things, but his actions were indeed inspiring. She joyfully showered Huaixi with kisses.
"It’s settled then!" Su Jiameng adjusted Huaixi as he grew heavier, and he nuzzled into her neck.
At night, after leaving the kids’ room, Su Jiameng said to Su Mo, who was by her side, "You’ve taken great care of Xiao Xi and Xiao Feng. Although I gave birth to these two, you’ve been the one looking after them most of the time. If you and Changxi don’t mind, I’d like you to teach them as they grow older. I wish to guide them myself, but reality doesn’t allow it..."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s budding flowers seemed to sway, but she quickly realized that Su Jiameng’s words had a tone of last instructions. Pondering slightly, she understood what was on Su Jiameng’s mind, "Master Three Good Lolita..."
"Some things must be done; otherwise... I can’t get over this hurdle in my heart," Su Jiameng said, her eyes showing a hint of bewilderment. "This is also my way, as a mother, of indirectly protecting Xiao Xi and Xiao Feng... If those troubles burst out, they would end up like I did, with a life of unrest, no place to find peace in the vast world."
Whether it was the nine potential troubles or the Insect Race, they were colossal challenges for Su Jiameng. A single misstep could lead to a fall off a cliff with nothing left. However, as she said, some things need to be done. She wasn’t a Holy Mother with compassion for all, willing to stake her life for this path, but rather it was her steadfast principles and beliefs!
Apart from these grand ideals, she also, as someone with experience, didn’t want her children to repeat her history.
"We will not disappoint the trust of Master Three Good Lolita. The two young masters will surely surpass you, inheriting your glory," Su Mo solemnly promised. For them as robots, their master’s orders were paramount, "But no matter what I say, I still hope Master Three Good Lolita takes care of herself and thinks of the two young masters in everything..."
