In fact, he was also curious why the baby looked so much like him.
“…” Wu Ruo.
He was joking when he gave the egg to Hei Xuanyi. He never expected it turned out to be true.
Was it really he who laid the egg?
But it didn’t make any sense. If that was his own son, he should assemble him. Besides, since he had never slept with Hei Xuanyi, why did the baby look so much like him?
Perhaps Hei Xuanyi had this egg with a demon or what and then secretly put the egg on his bed.
Wu Ruo gave it a thought, but soon denied it.
In his previous life, he had never seen such an egg or ever heard that Hei Xuanyi had a son. And Hei Xuanyi had never had an affair with any other woman. When he joked that the egg was Hei Xuanyi’s son, Hei Xuanyi was obviously panicked. Apparently he also had no idea where this egg came from.
But why Hei Xin and Hei Gan were not surprised when they saw thatt the baby looked so much like Hei Xuanyi?
It seemed he should go to Jixi for the answer. But since he just came to the mortal world, he wouldn’t come back to him until he had enough fun outside. Wu Ruo wished he could summon Jixi back but his spiritual power was not strong enough, which was kind of annoying.
Hei Xin who was amusing the baby suddenly remembered that Wu Ruo had never seen Hei Xuanyi’s real face, so he immediately tried to switch the topic, “Ma’am, wanna hold the little master in your arms?”
Wu Ruo looked a bit hesitant.
The baby was too cute to resist. He reached out for the baby but had a trouble with holding him because of too much fat on his arms. Luckily Hei Xin helped him support the baby’s butt.
Numu was amused, “Ruo, you can wait to hold him when you lose your weight.”
Wu Ruo shot a stare at him.
The baby waved his arms happily at Wu Ruo and giggled.
“Look, he likes you.” Hei Xin said smilingly.
Wu Ruo’s heart was melt and suddenly felt a connection with the baby. He could sense that there was something between him and the baby, although it was kind of ambiguous. He nearly could not feel it if he didn’t concentrate his attention.
But why?
Wu Ruo gave the baby back to Hei Xin, feeling confused in his heart, and then asked Shiyuan and others to support him to get out of the room.
“Ruo, where are you going?” Numu asked.
“I need a herbal bath to chill out.” Wu Ruo answered him without turning back.
“…” Numu.
How could he chill out with a hot herbal bath?
But no one noticed anything abnormal about Wu Ruo.
After he left, Hei Xin said to Hei Xuanyi, “The baby must be hungry. I should go make some food for him.”
Hei Xuanyi nodded slightly.
After Hei Xin and Hei Gan left with the baby, Numu patted Hei Xuanyi on the shoulder and said with a pretty serious tone, “Look at you, dumb boy. You bring the baby you had with someone else to this home not long after you got married. Have you ever considered Ruo’s feeling? Do you know you are embarrassing him?”
“…” Hei Xuanyi.
But it was Wu Ruo who gave the egg to him.
“Luckily that Ruo was not mad at you. Otherwise I will never forgive you. When you get back to your room, say something nice to coax him. Get it? And you should ask his advice about the baby’s name. He is your wife. As a man, he got married with you, which is not easy for him to stand people’s judge. You should treat him well.”
Hei Xuanyi’s eyes sparkled slightly as his master shifu mentioned giving the baby a name.
Numu went back to his room after he chitchatted a bit of something else with Hei Xuanyi.
Hei Xuanyi first went to the study to handle something and then went back to the bedroom when he estimated Wu Ruo should have come back from his herbal bath.
Wu Ruo asked torpidly as he saw Hei Xuanyi, “Hei Xuanyi, why didn’t you ask me where I got that egg?”
Hei Xuanyi gave him a look, took off his clothes and said nothing.
Wu Ruo then said gloomily, holding the quilt in his arms, “in fact, I also have no idea where it comes from. I even suspected that you put it on my bed behind my back…other…”
Speaking of which, he made a pause. He meant to say ‘otherwise, why does the baby look so much like you?’. But he just remembered that he wasn’t supposed to know how Hei Xuanyi really looked like now.
Hei Xuanyi judged from his confusing face that Wu Ruo truly didn’t know how he got the egg. He tried to look surprised, “Then why was it in your hands?”
“I don’t know. That morning when I woke up, a man from the beast clan holding the egg said to me that he took the egg between my legs. Then he left. Your people came in right after.” Wu Ruo frowned, “The baby is a bit strange. Is it possible he is some beast king’s kid? Otherwise, why can he remain as human shape after he cracked open the shell?”
“No way.” Hei Xuanyi said with an affirmative tone, “The kid got no aura of a beast or a demon.”
It made sense to Wu Ruo. If the baby was born with aura of a demon or beast, Hei Xuanyi would never keep him by his side, “Well, forget it. Just let it be. Some day we will know his background.”
Hei Xuanyi passed WuRuo a piece of paper as he saw that Wu Ruo was ready to sleep.
