"..."
Not knowing what to say for a mont, Bei Yaoyue turned to look out the window. Since they were already above the clouds, the sky appeared exceptionally blue. She remained silent for a long ti before saying, "That's really a terrible idea."
If it were the previous Bei Yaoyue, she might have agreed directly. A person alone was naturally free to go wherever they wanted, but now it was different. She had Xifeng, soone she cared about, and in the future... there would even be a "family."
Before making any decision, she had to consider all these things.
Bei Yaoluo smiled and continued persuading Bei Yaoyue: "There's nothing wrong with it. You and Xifeng live outside all the ti anyway, only going ho once every few weeks. What's the difference between that and living abroad and going back once every few weeks? Transportation is so advanced now—it's only a ten-hour flight from Germany."
"...There's still a difference." Bei Yaoyue replied helplessly. Although it sounded similar, living in the sa city and occasionally going ho versus living abroad and occasionally going ho would feel very different.
And compared to her parents, what Bei Yaoyue cared more about was actually Xifeng's feelings: "We don't know anyone there. Xifeng definitely wouldn't be used to it. Neither of us speaks German, so living there would definitely have many inconveniences."
"How is it unfamiliar? Am I not a person?" Bei Yaoluo raised an eyebrow and put on a displeased expression. "Besides, from what you're saying, as long as Xifeng is willing to settle in Germany, you don't mind?"
"...Perhaps." Bei Yaoyue was noncommittal. For this question... she actually had no answer in her heart either.
"That's easy then. I'll discuss this with Xifeng later and see what her attitude is."
"I don't think she'll be willing to go." Bei Yaoyue gave Bei Yaoluo a preemptive warning. "I know her too well."
No one understood Xifeng better than Bei Yaoyue. Perhaps because she was a vampire afraid of sunlight, Xifeng really never stepped out the front door or the side door—if she could stay ho, she absolutely wouldn't take a single step outside.
Before eting Xifeng, Bei Yaoyue had always thought she was already enough of a shut-in, but it turned out Xifeng's condition was even more severe than hers.
She didn't even want to leave ho, so how could she talk about going to a strange place to start a new life?
"That's not necessarily true. You'll only know after trying." Bei Yaoluo pursed her lips.
"Don't ask her about it. Settling in Germany is possible but unnecessary." Bei Yaoyue slowly shook her head. "I think even without that piece of paper, it won't have any impact on us."
Often, people needed that certificate only to have legal basis when conflicts of interest arose, allowing problems to be resolved reasonably. But Bei Yaoyue believed this was just optional for them.
True love didn't need a cold certificate from the state to prove it.
"There's another issue. Actually, the previous one didn't matter much, but this question is what I really didn't want Xifeng to hear."
"What question?"
Putting away the playful smile she'd always worn, Bei Yaoluo rarely beca serious, asking in a grave tone: "Do you two plan to have children in the future?"
"..."
Bei Yaoyue felt numb. How were all of Bei Yaoluo's questions so difficult to discuss?
"We should have them." She answered softly.
So say children are the bond that maintains marital relationships—without children as restraint, many couples might have already gone their separate ways long ago.
Bei Yaoyue had never agreed with this viewpoint. She felt children should be the crystallization of love, not tools for maintaining certain relationships. Since she and Xifeng truly loved each other, they should naturally have a child as witness to their love.
"You two can only have daughters, you know that, right?"
"Of course." Bei Yaoyue nodded. This went without saying—if two girls' chromosos could produce a boy, that would simply be a miracle.
"Daughters are good. Compared to sons, I prefer daughters more." Bei Yaoyue said, but then felt sowhat depressed. Why did she lean toward daughters in such matters?
Could it be that she, this steel-straight woman, had unknowingly been bent into a mosquito coil by Xifeng, that walking pair of pliers?
"Really?" Bei Yaoluo looked at her with a smile. "You want them? Little cabbages, when they grow up, get taken by other families' n—how heartbreaking. Better to raise a son to take other families' little cabbages."
"Then raise another little cabbage and let them take each other—self-production and self-consumption ans no loss." Bei Yaoyue said instinctively, but after speaking felt sothing was wrong.
"..."
Bei Yaoluo was also startled by Bei Yaoyue's words, asking half-believingly: "Are you serious? You and Xifeng having no blood relation is one thing, but if things really go as you said in the future... that could cause big problems."
Sisterly romance with blood relation versus sisterly romance without blood relation were worlds apart.
"...I was just speaking casually, don't take it seriously." Bei Yaoyue's gaze was sowhat evasive.
Feeling this topic needed to end quickly, Bei Yaoluo quietly glanced at the sleeping Xifeng to ensure she was still soundly asleep, then asked quietly: "So who will give birth when the ti cos, you or her?"
Bei Yaoyue: "..."
Sister! You're really my biological sister! Can we ask so normal questions?!
"It should be... her?" Bei Yaoyue said sowhat uncertainly, clearly not having a definite answer to this matter in her heart.
Although Bei Yaoyue had teased Xifeng several tis about bearing her a daughter, that was more just flirting and teasing.
As soone who often engaged in intense indoor sports with Xifeng, Bei Yaoyue naturally knew best how poor Xifeng's health was. Childbirth would undoubtedly cause great harm to the body, and many injuries were irreversible. If sothing went wrong during the process... what would she do?
She didn't want to be asked by a doctor with a serious face "Save the mother or the child?" That kind of question wasn't fun at all.
Relatively speaking, Bei Yaoyue felt her physical condition might be better suited for the task compared to Xifeng. So she softly said to Bei Yaoluo: "But Xifeng's health has never been good. Childbirth might be a burden for her. If her physical condition still doesn't improve by then... I'll do it instead."
The two quietly conversing didn't notice that Xifeng, who had been quietly sleeping against Bei Yaoyue's shoulder, had a smile slowly forming at the corners of her mouth.
