Not a god

Chapter 238 Slamming

When they got home, Yiyi had played all day and was so tired that she fell asleep. Chen Xi carried her out of the car, and she was as boneless as if she had no bones.

"Eat, sleep, sleep, eat..." Jiang Yan looked at him and muttered softly.

Chen Xi glanced at her and asked, "Do you want a hug?"

Why would I hug you?

"Support his back, and then protect his neck..."

"Ouch..."

He shoved it at her, and Jiang Yan could only fumble to take it. Yi Yi, still half asleep, hummed a couple of times but didn't wake up.

The mature Emperor Yan looked at the 'herself' in her arms and felt that something was strange, but once she realized that the guy in her arms was her younger self, she found it very interesting.

Chen Xi suggested, "She's practically asleep now and can't be woken up, but she hasn't taken a bath yet. Do you want to help her take a bath later?"

"I don't want to, it's too much trouble."

"Wanwan definitely won't bathe her. Don't you think it's awkward for a man like me to bathe you when you were little?"

Jiang Yan, with a thick skin, said, "What does it matter? You've washed it so many times already."

Chen Xi felt a little regretful, still hoping to get a free tool.

After returning home, he held Xiao Yiyi in his arms, gave her a quick wash, and then put her back in her room.

"Okay, it's my turn to wash!"

"What?! You said I was next to wash."

"Who told you that?"

"I just won rock-paper-scissors."

"Whoever gets to the bathroom first gets to wash!"

"You're cheating again!"

They must have been sweating a lot from playing all day. They knew to go take a shower without Chen Xi having to chase them away. The two even started arguing and blocking the bathroom door, neither willing to give in.

They inexplicably made up again, then showered together, chatting and laughing in the bathroom for some unknown reason.

Girls are such strange creatures.

Chen Xi got them some changes of clothes and, listening to the sounds coming from inside, said helplessly, "You two shouldn't play for so long."

The bathroom door was suddenly opened.

The moment the door opened, steam billowed out, white mist billowed out, and the fair-skinned girl, still dripping with water, walked barefoot on the porcelain floor, her skin pink and lovely.

She stood at the door, holding the water gun in both hands, aiming it at him, and sprayed it at him, but he dodged it cleanly and neatly.

Chen Xi reached out and took her water gun away, but they were too close. Before he knew it, a small jet of water shot out of her mouth and hit his cheek.

"..."

"Great! You hit it! Close the door!"

"Brother! Xiao Wan will open the door for you now..."

"Hey, Xiao Wan!"

"..."

The bathroom floor was slippery, and Chen Xi was too lazy to argue with them. She didn't want to fall and cry for who knows how long.

After taking a shower, Jiang Wanwan came out cautiously, looking at the man in the living room scrolling through his phone and watching TV. She was as careful as if she were facing the big boss of a game. She wanted to come and play with him, but she was afraid that he would catch her and take revenge for the one time she had just been killed.

Chen Xi beckoned: "Come here, I'll blow-dry your hair."

"You're not allowed to touch me!"

"I'm not as naive as you."

"Hmph!" After all, they had grown up together since childhood, and Jiang Wanwan looked suspicious, indicating that she did not believe it.

My brother is a very mature man, but if I provoke him first, he will voluntarily lower himself to the same childish level as me and then deal with me.

Her ultimate goal has always been to figure out how to gain the upper hand in the battle of wits with her brother without being defeated by him!

Only by getting infinitely close to death can one truly understand the meaning of life!

Chen Xi didn't actually do anything to her while blow-drying her hair; it was only when they went to bed that night that he returned the favor tenfold. After getting up, looking at the girl lying on the bed in a 'defeated Yamcha pose', a smile appeared in Chen Xi's eyes.

This guy never learns his lesson; he's terrible at the game and loves to play.

He still needs to clean up the battlefield.

"Lift it up a little."

After a while, she seemed to have regained some energy, lifted her little bottom slightly, and only put it down after someone lifted her up.

Despite being completely satisfied, she acted indignant, lightly kicking him with her delicate foot and beginning to mutter, "You want to get me pregnant, don't you? You big perverted brother..."

"Didn't you say you could control yourself from getting pregnant?"

After Chen Xi lay down next to her, she brushed aside her disheveled hair, moved closer to Chen Xi like a little hamster, and whispered, "What do you think about what Su Qingyue said, brother?"

"Do you have any idea?"

She looked at the ceiling, picked up a strand of long hair and tucked it above her lips to pretend it was a mustache, and said:

“Even if there’s no spiritual energy revival, and even if it has nothing to do with Su Qingyue’s prophecy, didn’t we originally plan to get married in the next two years and then have a child…”

They weren't in a childish relationship like middle school students; they had been talking about marriage for a long time and had even been married for almost half a year. When Aunt Jiang and Assistant Chen were their age, Chen Xi was already old enough to run errands.

When they were still in school, young couples might be shy and hesitant when talking about adult topics, and even a kiss would seem like a huge deal. But for them at this age, considering having a child is like deciding which university to apply to after receiving their college entrance exam scores. Even without any prior planning, they have to go for it with a determined attitude.

Parents don't need a license to become parents; when the time comes, they just need to obtain a new identity.

Especially after they got their marriage certificate, Assistant Chen, Aunt Jiang, even their grandparents back home, and friends all asked them when they were considering having a child.

The young couple had discussed the matter of having children several times in private, and even Jiang Wanwan no longer felt shy about it.

She's not a real teen; she's a young married woman now. She's been a young married woman for half a year now, okay?

"Just having one for fun?"

"……it is good."

"Hehe!" She suddenly leaned up to him and poked his nose with her hair: "Does brother like boys or girls?"

“I like them both, but I’d like a boy for the first child, so that Yiyi can have a younger brother and have both a son and a daughter… By the way, can you really have children? Aren’t all those highly skilled cultivators in novels infertile?”

"You've been reading too many novels!"

"What if I get pregnant for three years or something?"

"My body is now that of a normal human being!"

In fact, Chen Xi always had a different feeling about bringing new life into the world and having children.

What is the purpose of life? This is a question he pondered for a long time but could never answer. For the general public, however, there is a universally accepted answer.

The meaning of life lies in reproduction.

Is the only purpose of human life to reproduce?

What does it feel like to nurture your own bloodline?
But if we really take reproduction as our goal and look at humans from the perspective of animals, is that really right? Obviously not. For normal people, the desire for offspring is much more complex: wanting an heir, wanting a child to support them in their old age, wanting their child to complete their unfinished work... Compared to other animals, humans have a variety of more complex reasons.

Neither Chen Xi nor Jiang Wanwan had any of these reasons, so what was it that made them want to have a child?
Chen Xi looked at the woman who was nestled in his arms and whispering. She said that after having a baby, she wanted to raise it to be a professional e-sports player and take it out to show off. She would look up and ask for his opinion from time to time, probably thinking of something naughty again. Then she chuckled foolishly.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Thinking of my older brother when I was little, it would be so much fun if I had a child who looked just like him when he was a kid."

Jiang Wanwan's face was filled with happiness.

So that's how it is. Getting married and having children isn't always a decision made with any ulterior motive; it's simply because you're happy now.

"Late night."

"what happened?"

Have you rested enough?

"Huh!?"

"By the way, I think girls are pretty good too."

"Didn't we agree to go to sleep? Wait, wait a minute, I'm going to find Xiaowan..."
