Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Xie Xiaoyi was taken aback, then reached out and pinched Murong Wei's cheek, his eyes full of doting affection:

"Silly girl, you can have whatever you want, but that's not up to me!"

Murong Wei pouted, her face showing a hint of grievance:

"But Sister Suwen examined my pulse and said I'm very healthy, so why can't we have a child? Are you doing this on purpose?"

Xie Xiaoyi was both amused and exasperated: "I'm innocent! How could this be done on purpose? Every time... every single time I don't..."

Murong Wei's face flushed red. She bit her lip and whispered, "But you said before that your Qi Harmony Technique..."

"As long as you use the Aikido technique with us... we won't get pregnant."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until she was too embarrassed to continue.

Xie Xiaoyi's heart sank suddenly; his secret had been exposed.

Before I traveled through time, I remembered it clearly from biology class—

The optimal temperature for tadpoles to survive is only around 34 degrees Celsius; they will die if the temperature is slightly higher.

Once his Qi-union technique is activated, the body temperature of both partners during dual cultivation will instantly soar to the level of a cold or fever.

That's between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius, such a high body temperature can directly kill the "tadpoles".

This practice is essentially a natural and highly effective form of contraception.

Back when he was a womanizer, he was always puzzled as to why he had never gotten any woman pregnant, despite having countless affairs with her.

Later, with Fu Yaoqin and Yun Qianxun... without using the Qi Harmony Technique, she still had a son and a daughter.

He then realized that the root cause of his infertility was the Qi-integrating Technique.

I mentioned it casually when I was drunk that day, but I didn't expect Murong Wei to remember it.

However, there was no way to explain it to her. An explanation would just be a cover-up, and a cover-up would eventually become the truth.

Forget it.

Rather than sitting and talking about principles, it's better to get up and put them into practice.

A roguish glint flashed in Xie Xiaoyi's eyes as he reached out and wrapped his arm around Murong Wei's waist, leaning close to her ear:

"Weiwei, don't worry, ever since we went into seclusion on this Forget-Worry Island, I haven't used the Qi Harmony Technique on any of you."

"If you don't believe me, let's do it right here on these rocks... in the open, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Wei reached out and shoved him hard, both embarrassed and annoyed: "How indecent! Aren't you afraid of being seen and laughed at to death!"

Xie Xiaoyi threw his head back and laughed heartily, tightening his grip on Xie's arms, exuding a roguish charm: "There are only five women and one man on this island, who would laugh at me?"

Murong Wei buried her face in his shoulder and whispered a reproachful tone:

"You always bully me with your words... It was the same thing in that dilapidated temple that year, really..."

Xie Xiaoyi leaned down and gently kissed her forehead, then her eyebrows and eyes, and finally her soft lips.

Murong Wei raised her hand to wrap around his waist, closed her eyes, and let the sea breeze and his scent envelop her.

The wind blows and the tide rises, heralding her passing; do not climb the rose bush, for when the breath is shallow and leisurely.

......

Looking up at the sky.

Murong Wei leaned against Xie Xiaoyi's chest, her fingers gently pinching his abs: "You...you really won't use the Qi Harmony Technique anymore?"

Xie Xiaoyi lowered his head, his chin gently brushing against the top of her head: "Silly girl, from now on, I won't need to do anything to you or to them."

He paused, then lowered his voice even further:

"Three years ago, when you agreed to come to this Island of Forgetfulness with me, I secretly swore that I would never let you suffer any more grievances."

Murong Wei felt a surge of warmth in her heart, her cheeks burning even hotter. She buried her face in his chest, unwilling to look up, and only softly murmured "Mmm".

Before the two could exchange a few more tender words, a clear, childlike shout suddenly rang out from afar, mixed with Yun Qianxun's helpless cry:

"Xie Qianyu! Slow down! Don't fall!"

Murong Wei turned her head and leaned against Xie Xiaoyi's chest, gently tugging at his disheveled hair with her fingers, and asked softly:

"Xiao Yi, why did you name the child you had with your senior sister Qianyu?"

My senior sister's name is Chihiro, and her daughter's name is Chiyu... I always felt these two names were a bit odd; they sounded nice, but I didn't understand them.

Xie Xiaoyi smiled and gently brushed the tip of her nose with his finger:

"This name comes from a story from my hometown called 'Spirited Away.' Would you like to hear it?"

Murong Wei's eyes lit up. She propped herself up and leaned against him, saying, "What story? I want to hear it! Tell me quickly!"

Xie Xiaoyi suddenly stiffened and rolled her eyes: "Murong Wei... get out of my way!"

"What's up?"

Get off me!

Murong Wei frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Xiaoyi gritted her teeth and sighed softly, her ears turning red: "If you keep going like this... I'm going to lose it again."

Murong Wei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked down, only to find that her chest was softly pressed against his chest.

So that's how it is...

Far from panicking, she felt secretly proud.

It seems that my eight ounces of chest fat really is his nemesis.

This guy, even though he's a father, still acts like a scoundrel, fearless and reckless.

But he just happens to fall for her charms, and he can't resist her charms all the time. She's a total pervert.

Thinking of this, Murong Wei deliberately leaned closer to him again.

"Oh?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Weren't you quite capable?"

"Why can't you handle it now?"

Xie Xiaoyi pursed his lips and made a helpless expression: "Fine, I give up. Are you still going to hear the story or not?"

Murong Wei stopped teasing him and gently sat up: "I'm listening!"

Xie Xiaoyi also propped himself up and sat up, gazing at the horizon where the sea and sky met, and said softly, "Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Chihiro."

She moved with her parents and accidentally stumbled into a world of spirits.

There are bathhouses, river gods, soot sprites that can roar, and a boy who can turn into a dragon.

But there's a rule in that world—if you stay there too long, you'll slowly forget your name and never be able to return to the human world.

Chihiro's parents ate the gods' food and were instantly turned into pigs, never to be recognized again.

Chihiro's name was also taken away by Yubaba, and from then on she was only called "Chihiro".

To save her parents and find her way home, she gradually became braver and stronger.

She is not greedy, and she never forgets who she is. No matter how chaotic the world is, she holds onto the light in her heart.

In the end, she regained her name and saved everyone.

Murong Wei listened intently, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and asked softly, "Does everyone forget their names when they get to that world?"

"Yes, when they get to that world, everyone will slowly forget their own name and who they are."

"I never imagined that my senior's name would match the story of your hometown."

"Yes! I named my daughter just because I remembered that story, and I just picked it on a whim. There's no complicated reason behind it."
