Chapter 446: Quite Like You

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Du Yue stood at the door and looked at He Xing’s back as he left. She felt a little disappointed. She did not know when these days would end. They just wanted to find a base to live in peace for a few days. Was it so difficult? If they wanted to live a stable life, did they really have to live in seclusion? Du Yue was feeling melancholic when she felt Xia Ju tugging at her sleeve.

“What are you doing?”

Du Yue was puzzled. Xia Ju did not answer. Instead, she pointed at the other side, indicating for her to look over. Du Yue took a closer look and saw Xia Zhixing standing at the door of the opposite room with a child in her arms. Xia Zhixing had a beautiful face, and this was an indisputable fact. When Du Yue first met her, she only thought that she was a carefree princess. Later, when they met again, she found out that she had swallowed her anger and stayed beside her enemy just to take revenge.

After coming to the fourth base, Xia Zhixing had been fighting for others like a chivalrous warrior. Now, she was standing there with a child in her arms, and her entire body was emitting a gentle glow that only belonged to a mother.

Although Du Yue had never given birth before, she knew that women would more or less change after becoming a mother. The baby in Xia Zhixing’s arms was tightly swaddled, so Du Yue could not see what the child looked like. Just as Du Yue thought of this, she saw Xia Zhixing walking over with the child in her arms. The passage was narrow. Xia Zhixing only took four or five steps before she arrived in front of Du Yue. “Do you want to see her?”

Du Yue was slightly stunned. Could Xia Zhixing read minds? Why did Xia Zhixing walk over with the baby in her arms when she was just thinking about what the baby looked like?

Just as she was wondering, Xia Zhixing smiled shyly, “You seem very surprised? I just saw you staring at the child for a long time and felt that you might want to see her, so I carried her over to let you take a look.” Speaking of this, Xia Zhixing smiled bitterly. “You’ve never given birth to a child, so naturally you can’t understand it. After becoming a mother, all your attention would be on your child. Especially in this time of turmoil, I’ll notice if anyone looks at her.”

Hearing Xia Zhixing’s words, Du Yue suddenly understood. It was said that a mother was strong. No matter what era it was, the child would always be the mother’s first priority. Even before the apocalypse, mothers would be worried and concerned about their children, let alone now. Before the apocalypse, if the mother did not take good care of the child, the child would at most fall and get a small injury. Now, if the mother did not pay attention to the child constantly, it was hard to say if the child could grow up safely.

In this post-apocalyptic world, it was already hard enough for an adult to live, let alone a child who was still in a swaddle. Regardless of the decisions of others, Du Yue would never bring a child into this world in such an environment. However, in front of a mother like Xia Zhixing, she felt a little admiration for her. Pulling herself back from her thoughts, Du Yue looked at Xia Zhixing’s chest.

With just one glance, Du Yue was so shocked that her mouth opened slightly. The child in Xia Zhixing’s arms looked to be only two months old. She had fair and tender skin, delicate facial features, and a small face. Even her lips were pink. This child looked very similar to Xia Zhixing. Not only did they have similar facial features, but even their expressions were inexplicably similar. “A girl?” Du Yue asked softly.

Xia Zhixing lowered her head and smiled. “Yes, it’s a little girl.”

“She looks like you. She’s very obedient and beautiful.”

“I hope she has a face that you won’t be able to recognize in a crowd.”

Hearing that, Du Yue looked up at Xia Zhixing. Without saying anything more, she knew what Xia Zhixing was worried about. In these turbulent times, it was not good to be too good-looking. While Du Yue was talking to Xia Zhixing, Xia Ju was looking at the child in Xia Zhixing’s arms curiously.

Not only was she looking at the baby, but she was also a little tempted. If Du Yue had not glanced at her, she would probably have reached out to touch her little face.

Xia Zhixing had noticed what Du Yue had noticed. “Do you want to touch her? It’s okay, you can touch her.”

Xia Ju immediately waved her hand. “It’s alright. I don’t wanna hurt the baby.”

Xia Zhixing did not have much reaction when she heard Xia Ju’s refusal. She just said, “Alright, we’ll go back first..”
