Chapter 1088 Misunderstood Conversation
After parting with Chen Yuting at noontime, Shen Yujen spent the whole afternoon sitting behind her desk. She wanted very much to ask Lin Qiao if she could have a baby as she did. Before, she never even imagined having a baby as a zombie. However, after witnessing Teng come to the world, she often wondered if she could have a baby too.
Teng was nothing different from a healthy human child.
She wanted a baby of her own, but was worried that Chen Yuting might not want the same. After all, a zombie’s baby could be unhealthy.
So, she strongly wanted to ask Lin Qiao’s help for that now, but was also afraid that Chen Yuting might not agree. She wanted a hug from him, but was worried that her virus might infect him.
She was struggling all the time. So, following Lin Qiao’s lead, she had stopped worrying already. She believed there was a way to solve her problem. The latter had been busy, so she hadn’t had an opportunity to talk to her about that.
She looked at the time; it was dark. She tidied her desk and then left her office.
Back in her dorm, she took out the nuclei that she had been saving for months. As Lin Qiao’s assistant, she received great treatment. Every month, she was paid with a zombie nucleus at her own level to provide her with energy.
She had saved some nuclei that she earned, and some that Chen Yuting gave her.
She looked at the nuclei she had, which should be enough. Sometimes, Chen Yuting left the base to collect supplies or hunt zombies. He gave all the nuclei he harvested to Shen Yujen, most of which were at level four and five.
She brought the nuclei to the bed, then lay down and prepared to start absorbing energy. Back in her room, all she could do was absorb energy to strengthen herself. She couldn’t live as human beings anyway.
Abruptly, door knocks were heard.
She paused briefly with surprise, then sensed the familiar scent from Chen Yuting. She hurriedly got up from the bed, put the nuclei on the table, then turned and opened the door.
“What are you doing here?” She looked at him with surprise.
The human residents of the base weren’t allowed to come to Base Number Two without permission. Chen Yuting might have accessed Base Number Two using his special rights.
Chen Yuting looked around and said, “It’s really quiet here.” While speaking, he walked into her room.
“What’s wrong? Has anything happened?” He wouldn’t have come to her place for no reason.
After letting him in, Shen Yujen closed the door and looked at him questioningly.
Chen Yuting held her hands and brought her to the couch. He sat down, then looked at her in the eyes and said, “I told you to talk to me when you want to, but I’ve now found out that you don’t want to talk to me at all. Am I right?”
Shen Yujen’s pupils shrank slightly. After that, she unwittingly moved her eyes away to avoid contact with him.
“Look at me, Jen!” Chen Yuting raised a hand and held her chin as he said to her gently, “What’s going on? I’m worried, and I’m making guesses. Is this what you want? Please, tell me!”
Shen Yujen had no choice but to raise her eyes and look at him. With hesitation, she moved her lips slightly, but still couldn’t say it out loud. “I… I want…” she said.
Chen Yuting looked at her and waited patiently. However, Shen Yujen bit her lip and stopped talking after letting out the first two words.
He was so anxious, but he couldn’t push her. So, he took a deep breath and then said, “How am I supposed to know what you want without you telling me? Let me guess. Is it about us? You’re being… You’re not thinking about…”
A possibility suddenly popped up in his mind and gave him a start.
His Jen wasn’t breaking up with him, was she? He knew she had been worried that she might hurt him as a zombie. She forbade intimate interactions with him. She wouldn’t even let him kiss her!
Now, she was wearing a sad, upset look on her face. Did she not want to be with him anymore? Was she suffering too much pressure from him? Was she giving up on him?
With that thought, he popped his eyes with anxiety and yelled at her, “No! Impossible! I won’t agree!”
Shen Yujen was startled by his loud voice. Hearing his words, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes and murmur, “Have you… Have you known about it?”
Did he already know what she was thinking? Did he not agree? Did he not want to let her try? Or, did he not want a kid who might be unhealthy?
Thinking about that, Shen Yujen felt as if she had a hard and sharp piece of stone in her heart. She felt so bad that she almost burst in tears.
Zombies didn’t have tears, though.
Chen Yuting pressed both hands on her shoulders and gripped her as he stared at her right in the eyes and said, “Jen, I won’t let you go no matter how! Don’t you even think about abandoning me…”
While speaking, he abruptly held her tightly in his arms.
Shen Yujen gave a start when he put his arms around her, but paused on hearing his words. Wait… what? Abandon him?
“What did you say?” She said with confusion.
Chen Yuting held her and pressed her tightly against his own chest, then buried his face in her neck to sense her scent. “I said I won’t let you go! Don’t break up with me!”
Shen Yujen immediately rolled her eyes and then responded, “Shut up! When did I say that I want to break up with you? What are you thinking about?”
On hearing that, Chen Yuting was stunned a little. Then, he quickly held her shoulders and put her slightly away from himself, looking at her eyes as he said to her uncertainly, “Aren’t you gonna leave me? You never let me touch you, kiss you, and do that thing with you… I thought you were leaving me because you were worried that you might turn me into a zombie too.”
Shen Yujen looked at him with a cold face and said with slight anger, “I am afraid that I might infect you, but I never thought about breaking up with you.”
How could the man misunderstand her like that? She even wanted to punch him.
“What? Then… Then what is it about?” Realizing that he had misunderstood her, Chen Yuting had his masculine face reddened slightly as he asked with embarrassment.
Shen Yujen was hesitating before. However, she was much less worried after being funnily misunderstood by her husband.
“I want a child. I want a child of us, no matter if he or she will be a zombie or a human being. All I want is a child of us.” She looked at him deep in the eyes and said determinedly.
“Huh? A child?” Chen Yuting was stunned a little and automatically glanced at her belly. Soon, he thought of one problem. “But, you’re a zombie. Can-can you give birth?” he said.
A child? A child! The child of him and her!
