Gu Nian got out of bed and ran a few laps before daring to pick up his phone, and Duan Shen was still on the line.
If Duan Shen wasn’t willing to raise children with him in the second dimension, then he would just have to have one with him in reality. Gu Nian felt a bit sad because he didn’t like the thirty-six children in the second dimension, so could he just let them be born into the real world? But he still didn’t like them.
He imagined Duan Shen finishing with him and leaving, as well as himself nursing a child for the next dozen years, feeling a sudden sadness. But Duan Shen was right about one thing: the one who started it all didn’t have the right to choose.
Gu Nian still wanted to delay, trying hard to appear calm and composed. “I’m tired now, can we do it another day?”
It was only 8 p.m., and he was already tired again?
Duan Shen now understood his daily routine even better than Gu Nian. He didn’t get up until 10 a.m. in the morning, then took a two-hour nap on set, and now it was only 8 p.m… If it was just for rest, it would be fine, but Gu Nian was going to the second dimension to take care of the children.
Duan Shen’s expression darkened. He began to suspect whether the system was slowly trying to shift Gu Nian’s focus onto the second dimension. And without his supervision, would this fool continue to be fooled into making deals? What would the system do next? Turn him into a vegetable?
“Password.” Duan Shen’s breathing suddenly became tight, and he didn’t leave any room for negotiation. “If you’re tired, then sleep. Give me the door code, I’ll go in myself.”
To ask for the password right away, the movie emperor didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
Gu Nian was too nervous to think straight, and he stuttered out the password. After hanging up the phone, he suddenly realized he might have been too careless, giving out the password everywhere.
He anxiously paced around, trying to think of something else to distract himself.
He needed to mature a bit and not let Duan Shen know he was still a virgin after all these years! He would definitely be called stupid!
There’s a time for everything in life.
But what if he suddenly realized he was “straight as a pole” when his pants were already off?
What was he thinking about?!
Gu Nian stopped in his tracks, realizing he had no backbone!
The minute hand moved quickly, as if Duan Shen would appear downstairs the next second. Gu Nian gave up and lay down on the bed, suddenly struck by a strange idea: why not just sleep first? Duan Shen couldn’t possibly wake him up, could he?
Once this thought came to mind, Gu Nian, who thought he couldn’t sleep, was instantly pulled into the second dimension by the powerful summoning of the system.
When Duan Shen arrived, Gu Nian was sleeping soundly under the covers, a wet spot from drool still visible on the corner of his mouth due to his awkward sleeping position.
Duan Shen wiped it away with a tissue, picked him up, and tucked him back into bed.
After all this fuss, Gu Nian showed no signs of waking up. His cheeks were rosy, still showing traces of his earlier excitement, and his bangs were flattened against his forehead, resting gently on his eyebrows.
“You should be breastfeeding now,” Duan Shen said as he sat on the edge of the bed, adjusting Gu Nian’s hair and taking the phone from his tightly clenched hand.
There was no more delaying.
Even if Gu Nian was so nervous because of his words and ended up sleeping like this.
This meant Gu Nian couldn’t have any thoughts of “I want to sleep,” because the system wouldn’t care if he really wanted to or not.
If one day, in some dangerous situation, Gu Nian still behaved like this, it would be life-threatening.
But just as Gu Nian had thought, Duan Shen wouldn’t wake him up.
Duan Shen sat by the bed, watching Gu Nian for a while before suddenly leaning down, as if to kiss his forehead. When he was about an inch away, he suddenly changed his mind and kissed him on the forehead with his fingers.
There weren’t many truly foolish people in the entertainment industry, and fewer still were as foolish as Gu Nian.
The system told him to take care of the children, so he did. If he refused to work, Gu Nian didn’t dare to insist. After being teased once for not being able to tell which child was which even after washing them over and over, he started numbering the babies seriously.
He didn’t show favoritism to any of the thirty-six children, and he spoiled each one as if they were his own. He was exhausted, but whenever he heard a child cry, he would rush over to pick them up and comfort them.
Every day, he was begged to help carry one, but he never heard him say he was quitting…
For people in real life, the second dimension was just a pile of data. Duan Shen was very rational, but Gu Nian was different. He couldn’t stand to see the babies cry or be hungry…
And now, he even had feelings for that group of little devils.
Duan Shen pinched Gu Nian’s face one last time, turned off the light, and made do with the sofa in the living room for the night.
…
In the second dimension, Gu Nian occasionally glanced at the sofa, not knowing when Duan Shen would arrive.
He was afraid of Duan Shen coming, but also afraid of him not coming. After waiting anxiously for an hour, Gu Nian’s doubts grew stronger and stronger, from wondering if the movie emperor was stuck in traffic to worrying if Duan Shen was going to do something strange to his body right now!
Gu Nian suddenly turned into a cooked shrimp, even his toes turned pink, feeling uncomfortable all over as if someone had touched him all over.
“Why are you blushing?” Duan Shen suddenly appeared, catching Gu Nian off guard.
Gu Nian didn’t know how to face him, his eyes dodging around. But to his surprise, Duan Shen didn’t mention it at all. Instead, he glanced at him and took the baby #15 from his hands.
“Did you change the diaper?”
“No…”
And then Gu Nian watched dumbfoundedly as the movie emperor condescended to change the diapers of all thirty-six babies.
Duan Shen couldn’t have become a nanny for his family, could he?
After that, Gu Nian didn’t find a chance to talk to Duan Shen. After all, taking care of one baby was enough to drive three generations crazy, let alone thirty-six.
Maybe what Duan Shen said on the phone was just a joke. Gu Nian thought he was overly nervous, maybe the real Duan Shen was just sleeping at home and hadn’t come at all.
Gu Nian spent the next eight hours in a continuous state of shock. The first thing he did when he woke up was to post on the Baby Tree forum.
Original Poster: Because of my recklessness, I ended up having a child with someone I barely knew. The situation with the kids is a bit complicated, but in short, there are quite a few of them. A month ago, he was just a bystander, but now I’m the one handling the babies, feeding them, changing their diapers. If it wasn’t for my begging, he wouldn’t even move from the sofa. But recently, I don’t know what happened, he suddenly became diligent, working hard to take care of the babies, and he doesn’t even call me stupid anymore…well, occasionally he still does…but that’s not the point, the point is, can you guys help me analyze what’s going on with him?
1st reply: I bet the OP wants to hear us say this scumbag fell in love with you and has become faithful and repentant…I won’t say it.
2nd reply: Keep this kind of man for yourself and don’t let him harm others.
3rd reply: Scumbag men and trashy women are naturally a match made in heaven.
4th reply: Is the OP a graduate of the Women’s Virtue Class? Normal people can’t endure until this point, congratulations on achieving that.
5th reply: Not raising them but still having one after another, impressive.
…
When Gu Nian saw the first reply, he felt like he had been shot in the knee. He felt guilty and didn’t even have time to think before the second and third replies popped up, and he and Duan Shen were being scolded on hundreds of floors of this building.
Gu Nian angrily requested to delete the post.
What’s wrong with Duan Shen! He’s supposed to be worshipped by tens of millions of female fans!
Don’t you dare scold him!
From posting to deleting, it took less than an hour, and Gu Nian was full of anger. He stayed in his room to post, waiting until his mind cleared up before suddenly realizing that he didn’t sleep like this last night!
Duan Shen had been here!
Gu Nian patted his butt, his pants were intact. He hurriedly got out of bed, didn’t even bother to put on his shoes, and twisted the doorknob. Sure enough, he saw the movie emperor sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book.
The two suddenly locked eyes, and Duan Shen put down the book and said to him, “Are you awake? Come over, let’s talk about the children.”
Duan Shen woke up half an hour later than Gu Nian. He took advantage of Gu Nian’s absence from the virtual world to summon the system alone. “Let’s settle the accounts,” he said.
The system chuckled, “Fair trade, no deception.”
The tone was like that of an unscrupulous merchant coaxing a naive child to buy a game console with New Year’s money when the guardian was away.
But now the guardian was here.
Duan Shen raised an eyebrow. “No way to resolve it?”
The system replied, “Once the transaction is made, it’s handed over to the higher-ups for processing, and I don’t have the authority to revoke it, dear.”
“I will have a child with Gu Nian in the real world.”
Seeing him agree so readily, the system was also excited. Finally, it wouldn’t have to babysit these thirty-six little brats anymore.
Duan Shen asked, “Are you from the Second Dimension Family Planning Bureau?”
The system happily replied, “Yes.”
“Alright,” Duan Shen nodded. “I have a social media account with one hundred million followers. If I hint to my fans that I like various birth simulation videos and frequently reenact them…”
Those fans would surely be excited like they had been injected with chicken blood and produce babies every day. Soon, the population of babies in the Second Dimension would explode.
The system couldn’t laugh anymore. “A wise man doesn’t play tricks.”
Duan Shen stood up, adjusted his cuffs, and said, “Shorten the pregnancy period, painless delivery.”
“That might be a bit difficult,” the system gritted its teeth. It had only given Gu Nian a temporary pregnancy bug before. When it came time for delivery, it would have to find a doctor and perform surgery itself.
“I have one hundred million fans,” Duan Shen calmly threatened. “By the way, that idiot Gu Nian, although he’s been fooled by you all along, also has tens of millions of fans.”
“You’ve abused your power, causing Gu Nian to nap during the day. If the number of babies explodes and attracts the attention of the Family Planning Bureau, they might investigate your work and find out about this, right?”
Although Duan Shen didn’t understand the regulations of the Second Dimension, there must be rules to follow. The system couldn’t just do as it pleased, or else both dimensions would be in chaos. Understanding was one thing, but the system had its own rules here, and Duan Shen couldn’t reach its superiors. He had to endure being tricked.
“Okay,” the system yielded.
In theory, as long as Gu Nian became pregnant, the thirty-six spiritual bodies in the Second Dimension would find their place of belonging and disappear from the Second Dimension, and the two of them wouldn’t be able to enter again. Now the system had to spend energy to summon Gu Nian again and have him give birth in the Second Dimension.
In reality, it was like taking a nap, and the child would be born.
…
However, Duan Shen didn’t plan to tell Gu Nian about this for now, so the idiot wouldn’t learn his lesson and would still be tricked.
Gu Nian was pressed against the sofa, feeling a bit afraid of pain.
“What, having second thoughts?” Duan Shen poked his cheek, lifted him up, and put him in the bathtub.
Although the system was threatened by Duan Shen, its nature was still tricky. Duan Shen was afraid that it would secretly do something, so it was better to resolve some matters quickly. Before Gu Nian was confirmed to be pregnant, Duan Shen didn’t feel at ease leaving him alone.
In other words, Gu Nian would be impregnated all the time!
Gu Nian, like a little kitten taking a bath, with his hair wet, clung to the edge of the bathtub with both hands, tilting his head back. He wanted to ask Duan Shen if he had any other intentions, but he didn’t have the courage for a long time.
Being impregnated and asking such a shameful question would be even more embarrassing.
Gu Nian cried out, not daring to believe it, looking at the movie emperor, stuttering, “Now there’s, there’s no baby.”
Was he called his baby?
Had he upgraded from being an idiot to being the movie emperor’s baby?!
