Chapter 164: Chapter 164: New Guest
"You can go up to them if you want."
"I can?"
"Of course you can. Don\'t worry about it." Xiaoyun reassured Tianci.
Tianci finally got the courage to move closer and tried to interact with the three of them.
But before Tianci could move closer, the two girls noticed Tianci moving closer and crawled away as if they were scared of her.
"Hey, Lianrong and Qiaolan, don\'t be rude like that." Xiaoyun moved the two back closer.
Meanwhile, Yongyi stayed the whole time as he was still too ingrain in drawing his picture.
"Can I see the drawing?" Tianci asked softly.
Yongyi finally looked up and noticed Tianci was right in front of her.
But he still didn\'t run away like the other two girls, only to move back a little to let Tianci see the whole picture.
It was a colorful picture of seven stick figures inside a rectangular house.
"Who are these people?" Tianci curiously asked Yongyi, not knowing that Yongyi was less than a year old.
But to Xiaoyun\'s surprise, Yongyi responded as if he could understand what Tianci asked.
"Mommy!" Yongyi pointed at the six long-haired stick figures one by one.
"Aww, that\'s so cute. How about this person?" Tianci pointed at the person who was left out.
"Daddy!" Yongyi pointed toward Xiaoyun.
Tianci looked over to Xiaoyun in surprise as she suddenly realized Xiaoyun already had three kids this young.
"Lianrong, what is this drawing?" Xiaoyun quickly changed the topic.
Lianrong stared back at Xiaoyun, almost as if she was telling him she didn\'t know what she had drawn.
" Let me guess... Is this a rainbow and a tree?"
This time, Lianrong nodded in agreement.
"That\'s a very cool drawing you have. Qiaolan, how about your drawing? Let me guess, is that a cat?" Xiaoyun guessed it right away rather than waiting for a response.
Qiaolan nodded in agreement, just like Lianrong earlier.
"Tianci, what do you think?" Xiaoyun finally turned around to look at Tianci.
"All three of them are great drawings." Tianci complimented.
Tianci became curious as the three babies returned to drawing their picture.
"Xiaoyun... can I ask how old are they?"
"They are a few months old,"
"Only a few months old? They looked like five years old already." Tianci commented
"Yeah, they get that a lot... I\'m not sure how they are growing and maturing so fast either."
After watching the three babies crawl to the side to drag another piece of paper and start another drawing, Tianci was amazed by how active and intelligent the three were.
A few hours later...
At the dinner table, Xiaoyun and Tianci sat next to each other, along with Lily.
Meanwhile, all six of them sat across on the other side.
"Um, this is Tianci. She\'s——"
"She\'s the person that killed the most soldiers as a scientist, wasn\'t she? Xiaoyun, why did you bring her home?"
Yueyue sounded a little angry towards Xiaoyun as she thought back to the police data that she once looked over.
After hearing what Yueyue said, all five of them were in shock.
"Honey... you didn\'t tell me about this." Leyan thought back to earlier.
"Babe, you better have an explanation for this." Yuqi sounded just as angry as Yueyue.
"I was about to explain if Yueyue didn\'t interrupt me..." Xiaoyun explained his interaction with Tianci in the afternoon.
But then Tianci decided to tell her whole story after Xiaoyun partially explained what he knew.
It started when Tianci had just graduated from college and was recruited as a scientist to work in the lab. Then, she was forced to inject an experimental drug by her teacher, Lizhen, who was the director of the lab that she killed at the end with Xiaoyun\'s gun.
The drug injection was also coincidently the start of the zombie apocalypse. Within a few weeks after it, Lizhen directed the use of soldiers as guinea pigs for experimentation in secret.
Next was the start of Tianci losing control of her body after the experimental drug, with her performing hundreds of experiments against her will on the soldiers, one of them being her father on duty.
It was the final straw that broke Tianci\'s mind, leading to her regaining control and running away. Eventually, she met with Xiaoyun\'s army outside the lab, and the story ended.
"I\'m so sorry that happened to you..." Yuqi, Yueyue, Lily, and Nami were all tearing up as they listened to Tianci\'s story.
"Tianci, I\'m sorry you have to go through that." Xiaoyun felt even more sorry now as he had heard Tianci\'s full story.
Tianci didn\'t reply, but her face looked much more relieved after telling someone her story.
"How often does this happen?" Wuli asked as the question had been in her mind while listening to the story.
"Usually, it happens once a day for twelve hours straight... but the past few weeks, it only occurred in short times."
"Honey... you sure you can fix her?" Leyan was more concerned with Tianci\'s danger after hearing her ability.
"I\'m sure of it. The next time it happens, I\'m going to try it... Besides, even if it doesn\'t work, I\'m strong enough to restrain her." Xiaoyun reassured Leyan\'s concern.
"Well then... can Tianci stay in the house until I can find a better solution?" Xiaoyun looked over the six of them.
"Of course, I don\'t mind it." Yueyue was the first to reply despite having objected to it an hour earlier.
The other five nodded in agreement.
"Thank you." Tianci bowed down to the six of them in gratitude.
"Um, brother Xiaoyun... what happens if she turns in the middle of the night?" Lily suddenly brought up a question that Xiaoyun hadn\'t considered.
"I... didn\'t think of that."
"You guys can tie me to a bed. I\'m fine with it," Tianci suggested.
"No, that\'s ridiculous. Nobody should be forced to tie themselves up every night." Leyan rejected Tianci\'s suggestion.
"How about we have her sleep inside our roo——"
"That\'s not happening." Yuqi instantly rejected Xiaoyun\'s suggestion.
"How about we have two beds in the guest room? Then let Xiaoyun and Tianci stay in the same room?" Nami suggested.
"Them? Together alone in a room at night?" All five stared at Nami as if she had just suggested the most ridiculous solution.
"What? Do you guys have any better solution, then?" Nami argued back.
They all sat silently as they realized Nami\'s suggestion was the only reasonable solution, but they didn\'t want to admit it.
"Why are you guys doubting me like that? I swear I\'ll never touch a woman outside the six of you." Xiaoyun felt a little hurt by their doubts.
"Uh huh, I wonder who was staring at other people in the office." Yuqi pointed out.
"I was only looking because they just happened to walk before me." Xiaoyun awkwardly scratched his head.
After a long silence, Leyan decided to speak up.
"I trust honey won\'t betray our trust." Leyan supported Nami\'s suggestion
"Fine, I guess if Mom thinks so... you better keep your promise." The four of them gave in to Nami\'s plan.
"I promise I won\'t." After making the promise, Xiaoyun looked at the two on the other side, who hadn\'t said anything.
"Um, I\'m fine whoever you do it with. As long as you leave a spot for us." Wuli replied.
"Me too..." Shuli mumbled.
---
Soon, nighttime arrived.
Tianci went to shower with all seven of them, with Xiaoyun being forced to sit outside in case Tianci suddenly lost control.
After they came out of the shower, Xiaoyun could finally shower himself.
Fortunately, Tianci didn\'t lose control during the two shower sessions.
"Hm... I forgot the guest room isn\'t big enough for two beds." Nami awkwardly scratched her head as they all stood outside the guest room.
"I-I can sleep on the floor," Tianci suggested.
"No, I can sleep on the floor. You can sleep on the bed." Xiaoyun walked to the other guest room to bring the blanket as a mattress.
"Well, good night to you two." Leyan turned off the light and closed the door after Xiaoyun and Tianci were laid down in their spot.
After all the footsteps disappeared from the outside, the room was completely dark and silent, with only a little moonlight shining through the window and leaves rolling in the wind.
"Xiaoyun... are all seven of them your wife?" Tianci decided to break the silence as she couldn\'t fall asleep.
"Yeah... except for Lily, she\'s only living here," Xiaoyun replied as he couldn\'t fall asleep.
"How did you get all six of them? They all looked so beautiful..." Tianci curiously asked.
"To be honest... I\'m not sure, either. You\'re going to need to ask them about that. Maybe it\'s my charisma? Or my look?" Xiaoyun threw in a few random answers.
"I think it\'s because of your heart."
"My heart?" Xiaoyun got a little intrigued by Tianci\'s suggestion.
"Yes, your heart." Tianci didn\'t elaborate any further.
