There are many things in this world more interesting than raising a child.
But with raising a child, either you don't have one at all, or you take good care of them.
Tang Xian was sure that Zhong Xiuxiu actually had emotions of liking and disliking.
Her personality was extrely compliant, yet the dullness of her emotions made everything seem too strange.
He said,
"Have you ever thought, just if, and I an if, your parents were with another child... would you hate that child?"
Zhong Xiuxiu smiled.
For soone whose expression was typically blank, her sudden smile appeared sowhat eerie but also very cute.
Neurotically cute.
"That's an interesting hypothesis, but it's too difficult for .
I can't assu whether I would dislike an additional family mber without ever having interacted with siblings."
"Makes sense," Tang Xian nodded.
"Alright, your question today surprised . Shouldn't you be asking about this fruit?"
Zhong Xiuxiu said as she produced the fruit of the Zudun sacred tree.
Tang Xian said,
"Shang Lu should forbid you from experinting on humans, and you believe that research on the effects of the Zudun sacred tree's fruit should be approached from multiple angles."
Zhong Xiuxiu was not at all surprised.
Tang Xian continued,
"This must be a very taboo experint, right? The human brains you've always used have co from corpses provided by hospitals.
But you've found that perhaps using living people for experints could yield better... or rather, more accurate conclusions.
Shang Lu won't agree, and you think I'll help you conceal it because you feel I'm the sa kind.
This experint hasn't started yet, has it?"
"Not yet implented, I still haven't found a suitable subject," Zhong Xiuxiu said indifferently.
"You chose to deceive Shang Lu because you're afraid of upsetting him?"
Tang wasn't too concerned about how terrifying the experint might be, like the uproar that would ensue from creating an evolved, irregular human.
He was more interested in Zhong Xiuxiu's reaction.
Zhong Xiuxiu thought for a while and nodded.
"I don't want him to be angry. And I'm sure you won't tell him because when I first saw you, I thought you were very smart. My husband also said you were very smart.
Smart people will understand the aning of this experint.
I've already tested it on mice. Animal cells undergo irregular changes when exposed to the Zudun sacred tree's fruit, while human cells do not."
Tang Xian nodded; he certainly didn't approve of experinting on humans, but he wasn't in a hurry to contradict Zhong Xiuxiu.
Zhong Xiuxiu said,
"Human behavior is unpredictable, utterly chaotic, but this equally chaotic fruit can be absorbed by humans. I've checked the records of the Zudun sacred tree.
If this is the fruit of evolution, have you ever thought that it might also be ant to bring evolution to humans?"
Tang Xian said,
"You make a good point, but if you were to tell all this to Shang Lu, he would be very disappointed in you."
Zhong Xiuxiu then showed a puzzled look, with a slight hint of panic, subtle but present.
"I thought you would support in this."
"I had a different upbringing than you; I understand human reactions to these things better than you do. The experint must be done, but it has to wait for the right opportunity. Otherwise, you'll have a hard ti surviving in this world." Tang Xian grew a bit more forceful and continued,
"If you don't want to marry Shang Lu or have anything to do with him anymore, then go ahead with the experint. I won't interfere, and I won't tell Shang Lu why. But you can no longer have any interaction with him."
What Tang Xian really cared about was how this girl, who might have so connection to him, would choose.
This was a very important matter. It could solve so fundantal issues at their root.
Zhong Xiuxiu thought for a long ti and finally shook her head, saying,
"Although I'm curious as to why you would refuse to know the answer, I don't want to see him angry."
Zhong Xiuxiu handed over the Zudun sacred tree's fruit to Tang Xian; her expression did not show much sadness.
Tang Xian also felt so relief and said,
"I will co to see you often, to tell you about things related to interacting with humans, though I think many people are better at this than I am, but not necessarily more suitable."
Zhong Xiuxiu did not refuse, nodding her head and saying,
"Okay, thank you."
