Gu Juexi tilted his head to look at his beautiful wife and pulled her into his embrace. “Do you know why it’s so quiet here?”
Ye Yuwei looked around them. “The forest is too dense for big animals to get in, perhaps?”
“Smart girl, what about small animals?” Gu Juexi gestured for her to take a second look. She found that there were almost no living creatures in the perimeter, not even small ones like snakes.
Ye Yuwei pointed upwards and uttered, “There are birds.”
Gu Juexi smacked her head and scoffed, “Why don’t you just fly out of here?”
Ye Yuwei glared at him.
“There’s a swamp straight ahead. The helium in the swamp is usually toxic, so you can’t cross it,” Gu Juexi explained. If not, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort to make the transmitter and send out the signal.
Ye Yuwei blinked timidly and mumbled, “Sorry.” For being a burden.
“It’s okay, I’m used to it,” Gu Juexi said indifferently.
Ye Yuwei narrowed her eyes. Whose fault was this? Hadn’t he realized?
“What if they didn’t receive the signal?” The front road was impassable and there was a boundless ocean behind them, so there was no way out.
“The journey of life lies with destiny, so it’s up to God.” Gu Juexi hugged her with his right hand and pointed at the sky with his left hand. “Man proposes, God disposes, but I don’t think Yama wants me in his Hell.”
Ye Yuwei squinted at him.
“Hell is under us, not above,” Ye Yuwei corrected him flatly.
Gu Juexi shot a cold stare at her and growled, “Having fun teasing me?”
Ye Yuwei wrinkled her nose at him and pasted a cheeky smile on her face.
It was indeed fun to tease him, but her joy was destroyed by extreme thirst. “When can we get out of here?”
Gu Juexi didn’t answer the question. If the signal had transmitted successfully, someone would come by this time tomorrow. If it failed, he had to find a way to get Ye Yuwei across the swamp.
Ye Yuwei studied the equations on the ground again. She looked at Gu Juexi a while later and asked, “Where did you get the initial data?”
“The battery voltage,” Gu Juexi answered bluntly, “It’s general knowledge.”
Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes. Did he not feel embarrassed after saying that? What part of that was general knowledge?
“Pardon me, I didn’t study physics so I didn’t understand it.” Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes again and touched her belly.
Gu Juexi stretched his hand out and stroked her belly too. Ye Yuwei glared at him. “What do you think you’re doing?”
“I want to see if you’re pregnant,” Gu Juexi said candidly, then frowned at her flat belly.
Ye Yuwei slapped his hand away and snarled, “Stop touching, you already missed the chance to become a father for the second time.”
Ye Yuwei was fiddling with her hands when suddenly she choked his neck and glared at him. “Anyway, I can’t get pregnant anymore, but don’t you dare go out and get other women pregnant. This is your fate, take it or leave it.”
Instinctively, Gu Juexi reached for her wrists but repressed his strength as he held her. “Who will I find? Do you see any other woman around me?”
