My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Wang Yuting looked at them with suspicion, wondering what Lin Jiu could do that they couldn't. Wang Yuting thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. In her heart, Jiu'er was perfect; too many options flashed through her mind. Whether in appearance, spirit, or ability, Jiu'er was almost always the better choice.

The only thing to mention is that Ye Yue and Tong Yingyu are both taller than Lin Jiu.

Tong Yingyu chuckled as she looked at Wang Yuting's infatuated face, clearly smitten by her boyfriend's exceptional qualities. She patted Ye Yue's head and remarked, "I suddenly understand what you mean by loneliness. It really is quite lonely."

"Right?"

Ye Yue leaned against Tong Yingyu's chest, turned her cheek to the side, and whispered, "The youngest girl among the three of us has now grown up, and I always feel a sense of reluctance to part with her."

Tong Yingyu exhaled softly: "Yes..."

"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me with such a loving expression? It's weird. Don't do that."

Wang Yuting always felt that both of them wanted to be her mother, which was unacceptable; she already had a mother. Although Mo Xiao wasn't very reliable and often gave her, as her daughter, a stomachache, she was still her mother no matter how bad she was.

Ye Yue and Tong Yingyu exchanged a glance, their eyes widening as they suddenly noticed something.

This silly girl probably hasn't realized it yet, has she?

"Yuting..."

Tong Yingyu hesitated, unsure how to begin.

Hazuki raised her hand, indicating that this was something she should handle, as she was the professional.

Tong Yingyu nodded.

Hazuki patted his chest, assuring her he was safe.

"Yuting!"

Hazuki raised her hand.

Wang Yuting looked at her with a puzzled expression, raising her eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong?"

Ye Yue smiled and asked quite directly, "Did you and Jiu Jiu take any precautions?"

"what?"

Wang Yuting subconsciously glanced at the fire extinguisher in the corner, then at the fire emergency kit in the cabinet. The kit contained fire gloves, a searchlight, a whistle, a fire blanket, a breathing apparatus, and a 20-meter steel cable. Furthermore, there were smart fire sensors installed on the wall. Lin Jiu placed great importance on home security, so he had everything he needed.

"I meant this one, this one!"

Hazuki made a "no problem" gesture with her left hand, while repeatedly poking her right index finger inside.

Wang Yuting suddenly realized that this was what she was referring to.

"No."

Wang Yuting answered crisply, "Not even once."

Upon hearing this, Hazuki slapped her forehead.

"You're awesome!"

Chapter 427 Ancestral Treasure

"Pregnant?"

Wang Yuting murmured to herself.

Ye Yue and Tong Yingyu sat beside her, both casting concerned glances at her.

"I hadn't even thought about that..."

Wang Yuting scratched her head sheepishly. Despite her constant complaints about her mother's immaturity, her own mental age wasn't much older. Since moving in with Lin Jiu, Wang Yuting's IQ had clearly been declining; she was practically being turned into a useless person by Lin Jiu.

Regarding having children, Wang Yuting had initially thought it was a distant matter, at least until after she married Lin Jiu. It seemed like three years from now, and now it felt too early; she was completely unprepared.

"Then why didn't you take precautions with Lin Jiu?" Ye Yue quietly slipped next to Wang Yuting, squeezing her towards the middle, forming a pincer movement. Wang Yuting sat in the middle, with Tong Yingyu on her left and Ye Yue on her right, enjoying treatment that would make countless boys envious. But she felt like she was in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, riding in a carriage with people chatting with her, being taken to the execution ground amidst laughter and chatter.

"I advise you to confess honestly."

This time, Tong Yingyu stood on Ye Yue's side. She silently hugged Wang Yuting's arm, preventing Wang Yuting from escaping.

Because this is a very important matter, it cannot be treated lightly or dealt with carelessly.

As Wang Yuting's best friends, besides offering their blessings, they also needed to ascertain Wang Yuting's attitude. Given Lin Jiu's age, there would always be various troubles and anxieties, and gossip was inevitable. However, these were secondary; after all, other people's opinions and comments were ultimately external. The most important things were Wang Yuting, Lin Jiu… and the child.

Tong Yingyu and Ye Yue wanted to understand Wang Yuting's thoughts, or at least figure out what she was thinking.

"Um……"

Wang Yuting instinctively wanted to cross her arms, adopting a deep-thinking posture, but her arms were already crossed. Her attention was immediately diverted, as if she were a referee, assessing Ye Yue and Tong Yingyu's development.

"Remember to eat properly."

Wang Yuting turned to Tong Yingyu and gave her some instructions.

"Eh? Okay..."

Tong Yingyu didn't understand why Wang Yuting had steered the conversation towards her, but she nodded nonetheless, accepting the simple reminder.

Wang Yuting then focused her attention back on Ye Yue's question. She wasn't the kind of girl who would stomp her feet in embarrassment at the sight of a health and physical education textbook; the notebooks stored on her hard drive alone took up a considerable amount of memory. She had some knowledge about matters between men and women, as well as pregnancy and childbirth, but she hadn't yet realized that she herself had become the female protagonist.

Why have we never used protection with Jiu'er...?

Wang Yuting fell into deep thought, trying to recall the relevant events.

"Yuting, wait a minute, at least put this on!"

"Let me go! If this continues—"

"At least outside, you idiot!"

Jiu'er's lovely voice echoed in Wang Yuting's ears.

The image of Lin Jiu's angry yet shy expression flashed through her mind.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that every time Lin Jiu wanted to take safety precautions, she rejected them.

That perfectly timed resistance allowed Wang Yuting's possessiveness to be stimulated most effectively.

It's not that I lack self-control, it's just that Lin Jiu is too charming.

"Could it be that Lin Jiu doesn't like to use protection?"

Seeing that Wang Yuting hadn't responded for a while, Ye Yue assumed that she was trying to cover for her boyfriend.

Although Hazuki didn't have phantom limbs and had no sexual experience with men, she had heard that men generally disliked using protection, saying it would affect the experience. She always harbored a侥幸心理 (a sense of wishful thinking), thinking, "It's just a matter of chance, like gonorrhea or warts! Hey, what's there to worry about? It's just a blister, I won't use medication next time, and I'll get my period!"

Tong Yingyu hugged Wang Yuting's arm, raised her fist, and said seriously, "Yuting, if you feel uncomfortable, then I can stand up for you against Lin Jiu. It's all because he doesn't care about you that he made this mistake."

"Well, it's not because of that..."

Wang Yuting blushed slightly and shrank back, honestly replying, "It's mainly because I won't let go of Lin Jiu."

Ye Yue watched Wang Yuting subconsciously pull her legs together. She blinked, processing the information in her mind. It might be a little embarrassing to admit, but she subconsciously imagined it and felt the scene was too brutal to bear.

"Every time?"

"Yes, every single time."

Wang Yuting's cheeks flushed slightly.

Ye Yue felt a deep respect for Wang Yuting.

Tong Yingyu didn't know how to react. Her face was even redder than Wang Yuting's, and she tightened her grip on her arms. It was easy to see that this seemingly well-behaved girl was currently experiencing a raging storm in her mind.

"You're awesome!"

After thinking for a long time, Tong Yingyu finally gave the most accurate response.

Ye Yue was secretly laughing to herself when Tong Yingyu glared at her fiercely, and she immediately straightened her face.

"That's right, as expected of me."

Wang Yuting gladly accepted the compliment.

Although it's just speculation now, for Wang Yuting, it felt like she'd unexpectedly received a notification from the game's official team about a massive update, with the main storyline receiving an unexpected version. It was like Final Fantasy XIV's 1.0 finale, where she received the news one day without warning that version 2.0 was coming, featuring comprehensive optimizations, a complete overhaul of the combat system and gameplay, and was truly breathtaking.

Wang Yuting is still feeling a bit confused; she feels both happy and scared.

When I was little, I wanted to grow up quickly and become an adult.

After growing up, I want to be a child again.

To put it bluntly, they want to remove restrictions in all aspects without taking on the corresponding responsibilities.

Wang Yuting wanted to start a family with Lin Jiu, but she felt uneasy and worried about the unknown.

"so good."

Tong Yingyu gently placed her hand on Wang Yuting's abdomen, and the tactile sensation of those abdominal muscles was still quite strong. This sparked a curious question in her mind: would those abdominal muscles still be visible at thirty-four weeks of pregnancy?

Hazuki said with some regret, "I'm sorry, I wish I were a boy."

"That's not what I meant, don't misunderstand."

Tong Yingyu does like children, and she has thought about raising children, but that's not her focus right now.

“What I mean is… this child was born from the love between his parents, which is wonderful.”

Tong Yingyu smiled and gently stroked Wang Yuting's abdomen.

Being born into this world because of one's parents' passionate love sounds like the most normal thing, yet it's surprisingly rare in real life. People forced to live together for various reasons, or those who commit transgressions through indulgence, with one party unable to bear the pressure and choosing to escape—these are the kinds of things that make us feel like they happen all around us.

Tong Yingyu is very fortunate that her good friend has met such an excellent partner, and they love each other deeply.

She knew that she and Ye Yue were just Wang Yuting's friends; they couldn't make decisions for her, nor could they do anything reckless under the guise of doing what was best for her. However, both Tong Yingyu and Ye Yue sincerely wished Wang Yuting happiness, and their feelings were genuine. Therefore, they had carefully observed Lin Jiu. Their final conclusion was that Lin Jiu was truly a good person.

Ye Yue was told many times by Tong Yingyu to learn more from Lin Jiu next door.

Hazuki felt wronged, but she never intended to live like Lin Jiu.

Everyone has their own way of life; simply imitating others won't help.

"Hmm~"

As Wang Yuting listened to Tong Yingyu's unintentional words, she felt her unease gradually subside.

"Since Lin Jiu and I love each other, this is perfectly normal, there's nothing to be afraid of." Wang Yuting thought to herself, and felt relieved. She slowly exhaled and chuckled, "In fact, if Lin Jiu and I have been loving and affectionate for so many days without any ups and downs, then we should go to the hospital to see who has the problem in that area."

Wang Yuting knew very well how ruthless she was towards Lin Jiu; she wouldn't stop unless Lin Jiu said the safe word. However, sometimes she would forget what the safe word she had set for the day, so even if Lin Jiu said it, she would ignore it. Afterwards, when Lin Jiu complained about this, Wang Yuting would look at him innocently and scratch her head foolishly.

"It was so comfortable that I got a little carried away, please forgive me~"
