I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 252: Across Time and Space
Qiao Suisui graduated from the Interstellar Strategy Academy as she had originally expected. Due to Dr. Li’s sudden shooting, the school intensified their investigations and controls, so the library incident did not happen on this timeline.
She was not attacked by Simon and thus did not have a miscarriage from fighting back, so Zong Fang did not massacre Simon and his family, and subsequently, there was no service at the Southern Battlefield.
What remained unchanged was that Zong Fang could not tolerate the ambiguity between Anubis and Qiao Suisui, and still attacked Anubis, inadvertently using his blood to help Anubis combat the Frenzy.
But Qiao Suisui did not enter a cold war with Zong Fang; instead, they had a heart-to-heart talk. She showed Zong Fang the letter she had written to herself, and candidly told him everything.
Initially, the Qiao Suisui of this timeline did not believe it because the letter claimed she was from the future, but after seeing the secret written in the letter that only she knew in this world—"This is a game world"—she accepted the reality.
She believed her own words and, in the subsequent period, made different decisions and handled situations differently at critical events, as the letter had instructed.
"Don’t cold shoulder Zong Fang; he just doesn’t know how to love you. But trust me, he loves you more than anyone else in this world except yourself."
"Find Lanze. He is trapped in the negative emotions that foreknowledge brings. Find him, tell him: You’ve done everything you could, there are no regrets, let go of your obsessions."
"Be sure to continue running the inn. Even if others think you are overestimating yourself, or if it brings danger, ignore them. Because Freedom will have great value and use later on, Freedom will become your voice, your eyes, a power that belongs only to you, neutral to all forces."
"Pay more attention to Ruka. He always does a lot but speaks little. When he is anxious, he smokes a lot; you can use this to monitor his emotional fluctuations."
"Get Carl out of the Scavengers as soon as possible. He holds chips that can be used; he’s very smart. You just need to hint indirectly, and he will immediately know how to utilize them."
"If possible, go to the Southern Battlefield again at this time point, and make sure to go with Zong Fang. I know you are very afraid of snakes, but there are eleven little angels waiting there for you to love them."
"I believe you will do better than me because you are so eager to become strong, brave, and no longer subservient to anyone. I know you might feel confused after reading this letter, but don’t worry, take the future me as your biggest backing. Whatever the outcome, I will support you, and if all else fails, we can always try again."
"Qiao Suisui, you’re really amazing."
A cross-temporal dialogue between her past and present selves became a profoundly inspiring force at this moment.
The Qiao Suisui of this timeline did not experience those hardships. Depending on the foreknowledge of every decision point mentioned in the letter, she forged a path of great success.
In her memory, she and Ruka, Zong Fang, Leberli, Carl, and Anubis had already conducted a coupling ceremony seven years ago and had been surrounded by love all these years.
This moment marks the complete integration of all her memories.
Qiao Suisui lay in bed and slowly opened her eyes, letting out a long sigh. All the unresolved pain and regret of her past dissolved into nothingness in a second.
Zong Fang, arms crossed, rested with closed eyes. Hearing a soft noise, he abruptly opened his eyes and saw the person on the bed slowly sitting up.
He immediately walked over, and the other men woke up too, gathering at her window.
"You scared me to death. What exactly happened?" Carl held her hand, his eyes intently watching her.
Zong Fang touched her forehead to make sure she didn’t have a fever, then began to examine her.
Ruka stood by the bed, visibly relieved to see her awake, did not approach or leave but silently stood by her.
Leberli knelt on one knee beside the bed, interlocking his fingers with hers without asking and softly asked, "Do you remember what you ate and drank today, or who you came into contact with? What could have caused you to suddenly faint?"
Qiao Suisui was about to speak when Zong Fang lifted her chin.
"Open your mouth."
She obediently made an "ahhh" sound, allowing Zong Fang to examine her oral cavity and collect some saliva for sample analysis.
Zong Fang handed the sample to his assistant, saying, "Take this to the lab for testing to see if there’s any possibility of poisoning."
Qiao Suisui couldn’t help but laugh, "That’s too exaggerated, who would poison me?"
Leberli said, "Let’s wait until the results are out before jumping to conclusions." After all, he was still holding everyone, not acquitting anyone of suspicion and not letting anyone leave.
Ruka touched her head and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
She shook her head, "It doesn’t hurt anymore, it was just an accident, don’t worry too much."
Having said that, she looked around and asked, "Where is Anubis?"
The men fell silent together.
The silence she feared most now ensued; whenever they fell silent, she felt that something had happened to someone, and it was time for Time Retrospect.
Fortunately, they all controlled their emotions well. Ruka said, "He is outside, I’ll go call him."
Qiao Suisui didn’t think much, assuming Anubis was outside handling some matter, but when the person walked in, she knew something was amiss.
Anubis was somewhat cold, with his hair and clothes slightly damp.
Qiao Suisui asked, "Bi, why are you wet? Is it raining outside?"
She looked out the window to see the sky clear and bright.
It turned out that Anubis had consciously not stayed in the room after arguing with them, but had stood outside the hall from last night till now. It had rained during the night and the dew was heavy in the morning. He was not in the mood to notice or deal with these issues, which made him appear somewhat disheveled.
The men exchanged glances, and Carl was the first to roll his eyes, cursing in his heart: Playing the pure lotus here, all leftovers of mine.
Anubis then smiled at Qiao Suisui, squatted down looking at her. His pleasant voice resonated, "I just got sprayed by the garden’s irrigation system when I came over, it’s nothing, I’ll go change my clothes in a bit."
The men were well aware that he had been outside all along, but at this moment, no one spoke.
Seeing that everyone was present, Qiao Suisui said, "I have something to say."
Zong Fang’s gaze shifted slightly, silently standing aside.
The others asked what it was.
"I’m pregnant," she announced.
When Qiao Suisui finished, seeing the men’s reactions were very calm, she exclaimed, "You knew?"
Ruka smiled softly, pinching her cheek lightly and said, "You suddenly fainted, of course we would have your health checked."
She suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. I’m fine, don’t worry."
They all nodded in response, and Carl returned to his usual jesting, making Qiao Suisui laugh. Anubis continued to kneel by the bedside, gazing at her. Seeing her smiling face now, feelings of guilt and gratitude surged to his lips, his nostrils flaring with suppressed emotion, but he managed to hold it back.
Zong Fang remained silent, then after a pause, he slowly asked her, "Is there nothing else you want to tell us besides this?"
